Chapter 391 - Youre such a bad man (1/2)

Back to the venue...

As everyone was now in their seats and the party that was supposed to be about the twins turned out like an engagement party of Rika Song and Jaime Liao, things settled down and everyone began to enjoy the party together.

”Bestie, you're really the best! How long have you been planning this?” Around a particular table, Rika Song, Jaime Liao, Lexi, Elliot Gong, and Ethan Lu were enjoying their wines while the lady of the night wiped the smudged mascara under her eyes.

”About a month or two. Jaime reached out to me asking for advice on what kind of proposal you wanted since you don't give him any of the details so, yeah.” Shaking her head sideways, Lexi recalled how puzzled she was the day Jaime Liao called her and asked if they could meet up because he didn't want to ask advice through a phone call— classic Jaime Liao.

”Aww...” Moved, Rika Song turned her pouting face to her side where her fiancé was perched. ”Honey, what did I do to deserve you?” Just as her sentence slipped from her mouth, Rika Song's eyes started to well up again.

”You deserve everything.” Stroking her head, no one knew where Jaime Liao got his courage to utter such cheesy lines that only Ethan Lu could say without a care in the world to Lexi.

Of course, the person who cringed the most that had this unpleasant expression across his entire face, and that person was Elliot Gong. Although he met Jaime Liao a couple of times and within those encounters, he would occasionally ask if there's something wrong with the doctor's head for putting up with Rika Song's dramas aka telenovelas.

Still, Elliot Gong was certain that Jaime

Liao was not the type of guy who publicly shows his affection just like his dearest friend Ethan Lu.

”Ohh...” Sweetly smiling, Rika Song saw the unpleasant look on Elliot Gong. Therefore, she wouldn't miss this opportunity to rub some salt on the wounded single man without a lovelife for so long. ”Honey, don't be like that in front of a single man. He might get envious, you know.” Rika Song then glanced at Elliot Gong.

Her remarks made Lexi laugh as she watched her true friends indirectly banter with each other, again. Just then, Ethan Lu whispered to her ear.

”Love, I invited someone and he's here. Can you meet him?” Lexi knitted her brows as Ethan Lu would only invite his friends which she already expected that would not attend.

”Who?”

”Kevin.” Smiling, Ethan Lu raised his brows as he patiently waited for her agreement.

”Oh... alright.” Slightly surprised that Ethan Lu and Kevin Woo reconciled, Lexi still unhesitantly agreed. She then turned to her friends to excuse herself and her husband. ”Okay, you two behave in front of the doctor. Ethan and I will be receiving a guest so I'll leave you two first.”

”Alright, I am behaved though, right honey?” Not minding for Lexi leaving them for awhile, Rika Song turned to Jaime Liao as if she were a kid seeking a pat on the head.

”Eli, you might want to meet the person that arrived. We'll be back.” As they stood from their seats, Ethan Lu glanced at Elliot Gong before he remarked and left with Lexi.

”I... Lexi, it's been a long time. Nice seeing you, again.” Unlike how calm and composed Kevin Woo was when he met Ethan Lu earlier that day, he was a bit more nervous before Lexi.

”I don't bite, don't be like that. Also, whatever was in the past, let bygones be bygones.” Lexi lightly shook her head at how silly Kevin Woo was now unlike their last encounter whereas he was quite aggressive.

”Heh,” A faint distressed scoff escaped Kevin Woo's mouth upon hearing her statements. ”I am still ashamed at what I recklessly said to you, you know the last time we had met, so I...” Scratching his jaw, Kevin Woo awkwardly mustered his courage to utter and admit the reason of his tone and timidness.
