Everyone was having a good time at the reception. They were waiting for the newlyweds to show up after going to the backstage to welcome a very important guests.

While waiting, they were being served with the delicious appetizers on their plates while watching some of the presentations prepared by the students.

Everyone from the other pavilion had also been transferred on the main pavilion that could house everyone to join the celebration.

Everyone was having a good time except for the two people who had ill-intentions for Kim Eunji.

"Are you sure we could make this work tonight? This is no ordinary event after all." Ling Bao had grown anxious all of a sudden.

Since it's a special occasion for everyone, the security would be tighter. Since it's Nathan and Kim Eunji's wedding, the Mo, the Kim and the Hua family head and their wives together with their children are present in the venue. Not only them, Rin and Hiro was also present on the event.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure that there will be no honeymoon for them tonight." Jin Li Rong vowed in her heart that she would take her revenge on Kim Eunji tonight.

On the private room on the backstage, Kim Eunji was hugging the two other most important women in Nathan's life.

"Grandma! Mom!" Kim Eunji could not stop from being emotional because of extreme happiness. Everything was perfect tonight.

The only thing that she regretted was that her parents were not present to witness todays event. And Nathan was not dumb enough to not feel her slight mood change.

"Good child. Don't cry. My heart will ache if you'll cry." Mother Mei consoled her.

"I'm so happy that you both are here. Gosh! How are you both? Are you both well-rested? When did you arrive?" Kim Eunji bombarded them with a series of questions.

"We're fine. Your grandma's condition was quite stable that's why we were given the clearance to have this trip earlier than planned. After all, we didn't want to miss this very important occasion. Don't worry, we have arrived this morning and Nathan had arranged our accommodations nearby. So it didn't tire us. Also, your Master had made a pill that we took before and after the flight so that we won't suffer from any jetlag and motion sickness." Mei Johnson explained.

"That's a relief. I'm sorry if my Master is sometimes a pain in the ass but rest assured, he's very reliable on his field of expertise. Which made me to wonder, where is he?"

"Oh! He immediately left the moment he stepped his foot on the ground. He said not to look for him as he would come and find us. Do you have any idea what he is and what he's up to now?" It was grandma Sana who spoke and asked her this time.

Compared to the last time she had seen her, grandma Sana's condition had indeed improved a lot.

"I'm sorry grandma but I don't know where he is at the moment. But know that my Master always keep his promise. Trust him when he say he will find you because he will definitely be knocking on your door soon." Kim Eunji said as she tried her best to cheer grandma's saddened expression.

"The ring looks so good on you darling!" Grandma Sana blurted out when she saw Kim Eunji's wedding ring.

"I have given that to Nathan and told him to give that to his future wife. That boy did listen to me and gave it to you. I'm so happy that it's you whom Nathan had chosen to marry." Grandma Sana expressed.

"Me too Eunji darling. I will surely ignore him in this lifetime if my daughter-in-law happened to be not you. And if that brat will hurt you, I'll disown him! And you'll be my only daughter." Mei seriously said making Kim Eunji's heart to warm up.

Then Mei took a rectangular box from her bag and gave it to Kim Eunji. Kim Eunji received it and held it with care as whatever was inside the box, it must be something valuable and important.

"Open it." Mei instructed.

Kim Eunji did and she was surprised to see a jade ring with the Aihara name embedded on it.

"Mom..."

Nathan was also surprised to see this ring. It represented the person with highest authority in the clan.

"Mom, how did you get that?" Nathan asked his mother.

"Are you underestimating your mother's capabilities?" Mei refuted.

"It's not like that Mom but that old hag would not easily gave up the position without getting something."

The old hag that Nathan meant was Sei Aihara.

"Well, the elders found him incapable enough to lead the clan therefore they approached Mom and asked for help. They even asked for Mom's forgiveness for abandoning us." Mei explained.

"Well, originally, the credits should belong to you since you're probably the reason behind their crises."

"How are you certain that it's me, Mom?" Nathan wanted to deny that.

"Because I know you better son," was Mei's only reply.

"I'm giving you that ring now Eunji. My time as the head of the Aihara had been long overdue. It's for you and Nathan to lead now." Mei simply explained.

Kim Eunji didn't know if she should laugh or cry as she watched the ring in her right finger. Leading a whole clan was not a joke. However, she didn't want to decline Mei after she saw her guilty and pleading expression behind her smiling facade.

"That ring will protect you Eunji whenever you encountered some difficulties while Nathan was not around you in the future." Mei said as she tried to explain the benefits of owning that.

"Thank you for this Mom...and also grandma, thank you for entrusting your ring to me. I promise to keep both rings safe in my care. Don't worry Mom, Nathan and I will work hard together in leading the Aihara clan.

"I see. Alright! Don't let the guests wait. I'm sorry that we can't join you back there. Though my condition had improved a lot...it's still best to be cautious." Grandma Sana told her.

"There's no need to say sorry grandma. I understand." Kim Eunji reassured grandma Sana.

"Mom, I'll send someone to check on you both from time to time okay? Also, you could monitor what's happening back there on the TV screen." Nathan told Mei.

After making sure that both Mei and Sana was comfortable, the couple moved on the next room to change.

The team of stylists were already waiting for them inside. Nathan decided to sit on the sofa as he waited for his wife to be done.

The stylist helped her with the gown as they removed a layer of petti-coat underneath making the dress less bulky and more comfortable for Kim Eunji to walk around.

Nathan excused himself as he had to answer a call from an overseas client.

When he came back inside, he smiled when he saw Kim Eunji.

"Are you ready to face them Mrs. Bai?"

"I'm more than ready, Mr. Bai."

As soon as the crowd saw them, they were welcomed with loud cheers and applause.

"Let's all welcome the newly weds everyone!" Hua Zhang Wei who happened to be the host of the event hyped the crowd.

The two were then ushered on the center table where the rest of their families and friends were waiting.

Nathan seat would be on the center left facing the front while Jim Eunji would be sitting on his right side.

Beside Kim Eunji was Alice followed by Iris. On the other hand, J who was the chosen best man sat on Nathan's left followed by Hiro and then Rin to fill-in for Mei Johnson and Grandma Sana.

On the other hand Kelly sat beside Iris followed by her husband Mo Jing-sheng then his parents, then the Hua and Kim Jeong Ho's parents.

The cast of the drama also had a separate table and were happily chatting with each other.

Michael Roland unfortunately could not make it on the event because he had to attend to a very important patient abroad. But he would still be expressing his congratulatory message towards the couple via a video message later on.

Everyone was impressed to see such star-studded event. They felt like they have been blessed to be in the same room with this business tycoons and their wives with nobble backgrounds. Because of their busy schedule, these families seldom gathered but when they did, it would be on such important events such as this one.

Which made everyone to be curious as to how they would interact with each other.

As soon as they arrived on the center table, everyone stood up to greet the newlyweds.

Kim Eunji hugged the ladies and the Madams while she could only shook hands with the gentlemen. Of course, she received praises of appreciation for her beauty.

"Rin!" Kim Eunji hugged her in excitement. She missed this young lady.

Receiving such warm affection from Kim Eunji, Rin blushed however she didn't forget to congratulate her on their wedding.

"Kekkonshiki omedetogoazaimasu Eunji-sama!"

"Arigato, Rin." Kim Eunji chuckled and even squeezed the latter's cheeks because she looked cute.

"Kawaii!" Kim Eunji felt happy but someone was being grumpy on the sidelines.

Then she approached Hiro. Hiro immediately bowed his head as he showed his respect towards his mistress.

"Congratulations on your wedding, Eunji-sama."

"Hahahaha. Thank you. But don't be so formal with me. Who knows we'll be in-laws sooner or later." Kim Eunji said and gave a meaningful smile towards Hiro and Rin.

Hiro who was still bowing was suddenly frozen on the ground.

Then Kim Eunji finally turned her attention towards the moody momma.

Kelly became emotional when she saw how happy her best friend was at the moment. She could not imagine that in less than a year, she had tied the knot as well.

"Don't cry. I don't want my niece to be upset with me for making her mom cry." Kim Eunji comforted Kelly.

Kelly cried even more which caught the attention of everyone.

"You...I hate you! Why do I felt like I am being abandoned? I'm not your favorite person in the world now. You even came to me last. I should be the one to be hugged first and not them." Kelly whined like a kid throwing a tantrum.

Kim Eunji was at a loss. However she remained patient as she knew that Kelly was probably acting like this because of her hormones. She was almost three months pregnant. The first trimester was the hardest for an expecting mother. They're overly sensitive and easily got overwhelmed with things.

"Aigoo!!! You will always be my favorite person Kel that's why I came to you last so that I could spend more time with you. And besides, aren't you happy for me?"

"I am! It's just that I felt neglected now. Your already busy and brother-in-law would be occupying your free time as well. You won't have time for me."

"Hahahhaahha. Okay...well, I can ask Nathan to give me a day for us to have a girls day once every month just like before." Then she threw Nathan a meaningful look as she continued, "Like only us. We would be hanging out and be having fun...but I guess our activities would be limited since you must not be tired." Eunji suggested which made Kelly to have a bright smile on the face.

However when she realized how possessive Nathan could be, her smile instantly disappeared.

"But I'm sure he won't allow you to be away from him. He even made sure to own Imperial University just so he could have an alibi of staying here." Kelly pointed out.

"No, he won't do that! He will give us that time. They could come along as well but given that they would be having minimal interaction with us. Right, hubby?"

"Of course!" Nathan who had been like a neglected puppy for a while now smiled and immediately rushed towards her side and hugged her.

"But I agree with my Eunji's suggestion. First bro and I should be there to look over you both. But we promise to not interrupt in your bonding time." Nathan supported his wife's suggestion.

With Kelly's condition, letting her be alone even in an hour or two was a big NO for Mo Jing-sheng.

Maybe what happened to them back then gave him a big scare. He was being traumatized by that incident.

"Okay." Kelly immediately agreed. This was better than nothing at all.

"Oops! Wife slave." Hua Zhang Wei whispered to Kim Jeong Ho.

"Well, Nathan and first bro had found the woman they would dote on in this lifetime. I think it's highly time for Young Master Hua to find his partner as well."

"Hell no! I still want to keep my happy days being a bachelor." Hua Zhang Wei said.

"Well, in our circle, first bro and Nathan had decided to settle down, I'm sure that our parents would be coming at us soon. Do you think you'll keep your bachelor life forever? Dream on. If I were you, I will start looking for a descent woman to marry before our respective parents would try to match make us to unknown women." Kim Jeong Ho advised.

"What the hell are you both talking about?" Mo Jing-sheng reprimanded the two.

"Nothing first bro!" Hua Zhang Wei said as he rushed towards the stage to go back to his host position.

As soon as the couple was settled on their seats, the waiters came out and brought delicious food on their table.

Majority of the dishes being served would trigger her allergy Madame Mo volunteered on picking the dishes to be served in this wedding banquet as these dishes held very important meanings and so that the couple would be forever blessed on their marriage life by having this.

Scallops, abalone and sea cucumber, roasted suckling pig, fish, roasted duck, scallops, chicken and noodles and many others are on the menu.

Among the dishes, Kim Eunji could only eat the suckling pig but she wanted to try and eat everything.

Her mouth was salivating.

"Hubby, I want to eat those. They looked delicious." Kim Eunji looked at him expectantly. Since this was a very important occasion for them, she should be allowed to eat even a bite size right?

But before Nathan could answer her, the door of the pavilion swung open which surprised everyone.
