605 You may now kiss the bride (2/2)

”I'm so happy for her.” Hiccuping, Lexi received the handkerchief Ethan Lu offered to wipe her tears.

”I'm sure Dr. Liao will take good care of her.” Watching her wife genuinely cry because of happiness, Ethan Lu lovingly smiled at her.

Seeing that Lexi only nodded as she wiped her tears away, Ethan Lu's gaze shifted to Elliot Gong next to Lexi.

”Eli, you can cry too, you know?” Ethan Lu teased. By the looks of Elliot Gong, behind the seemingly unfazed front, his eyes says otherwise.

They'd been friends since forever. Thus, Ethan Lu could tell in a glimpse that Elliot Gong were holding his tears back. After all, Elliot Gong might not admit it, but deep down, Rika Song had a special place in his heart.

They might bicker now and then, but Elliot Gong were Rika Song's go-to person. In Ethan Lu's eyes, the two were like siblings.

Still, they were also like soulmates. Their chemistry was undoubtedly great, they share the same energy, and had an unbreakable bond.

It was just funny that no matter how great they look together, Rika Song and Elliot Gong weren't meant to be. The two, no matter how many people shipped them together, no matter how professional kissed they shared in their work, they never fell in love with each other.

This, Ethan Lu somehow believed that men and women could also be pure friends. No ulterior motives, no friends with benefits, but a friendship that shared a mutual understanding and respect.

”Shut up!” Glaring daggers at Ethan Lu's playful front, Elliot Gong cleared his throat as he tugged the hem of his suit. ”Why would I cry if she ended up with a principled man?” Elliot Gong muttered, yet his eyes grew watery, and he turned to avoid Ethan Lu's smiling face.

”Jeez,” Chuckling, Ethan Lu shook his head sideways while Lexi also chuckled as she wiped the tears on the corner of her eyes.

”Da da...” as the bride and groom made their lovely exit, Lillian Yang approached with Evan Lu in her arms.

Evan Lu was reaching his arms to Lexi while saying his father's name. The couple who were teasing Elliot Gong turned to Evan Lu and in that instant, Lexi carried him.

”Aww... baby, are you calling daddy?” Smiling lovingly, Lexi glanced at Ethan Lu whose feet were rooted to the ground, shocked to hear his son call him for the first time.

”Hey Vanvan, can you say it again?” When Ethan Lu snapped, he excitedly clasped his hands together as he looked at the adorable Evan Lu.

”Ma ma... ma ma...” opening his hands and closing them again, Ethan Lu giggled as he touched his mother's face.

”Pfft—!” Upon hearing that Evan Lu purposely teased his father, the people around including Lexi laughed. ”He really knows how to tease his father.” Shaking her head, Lexi played with Evan Lu's little hands.

”Hah!” Letting out a ridiculing scoff, Elliot Gong laughed loudly the most as he finally found someone whom he could be a great ally in bullying Ethan Lu. ”Vanvan, do you want chocolates? Just listen to Uncle Eli and I'll give you a lot of them!” Elliot Gong bribed, suddenly appearing on Lexi's side.

”Hey!” However, not just Ethan Lu but everyone around said in unison. ”Too much sweets is not good for kids!” Peering at the shameless Elliot Gong in disdain, Ethan Lu spat.

He'd be in a great dilemma if this Elliot Gong bribed Evan Lu. Ethan Lu could imagine Elliot Gong laughing evilly while he pushed him around. God... that seemed to be so scary.

Lexi and all the guests then headed to the other venue after a while.
