Chapter 658: My Wife Is the Most Delicate One
The wedding goes on smoothly. Although Lily is extremely tired from the ceremony, she still feels happy and sweet in her heart. She follows Rex to toast the guests. Hearing people's sincere blessings, she is even more overjoyed.
The wedding banquet lasts till two p.m. Lily notices a full page of gift lists in the guest book. Their guests are all noble, so naturally, their gifts are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Her heart skips a beat when she glances at it.
Rex drinks a lot of wine. Everyone feels casual today. The guests know that Rex is a self-disciplined man who never gets drunk on any occasion. Now that they have such an opportunity, they won't miss it. Many people come to toast him. They don't have any bad intentions and only want to congratulate him.
Rex doesn't refuse anyone. He lifts his head and drinks happily no matter who comes to toast him. After a while, his head begins to feel dizzy, and his steady footsteps become shaky.
Lily is concerned that he can't handle it. She follows him as he goes to the restroom, and when he comes out, she immediately steps forward. "Are you alright?"
Rex looks at her little hand supporting him. A wicked smile flashes across his handsome face, and his breath is filled with burning warmth. "Are you worried that your husband is drunk?"
Lily has heard him calling them "husband and wife", but it sounds different today. It sounds legitimate.
She blushes and supports the man's tall body. "Yeah. You've drunk a lot. Are you alright? Do you have stomachache?"
Someone has toasted her just now, and Rex drank all the wine on her behalf. Now that she sees his shaky footsteps, Lily is concerned.
He waves his hand carelessly and says, "I'm fine. I'm happy today, so I'll drink more."
She can tell his happiness from his face. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
"I can drink a little too. You don't have to drink all the wine for me."
"That won't do," the man raises his eyebrows and says without thinking, "My wife can't drink. She can only drink with me."
Lily is lost for words.
Rex's remarks make Lily shy and secretly delighted. With him protecting her like this, she feels she is like a princess.
Lily purses her lips and snickers. "I'm not that delicate."
Hearing this, Rex shakes his head. "Then I'll pamper you until you become the most delicate one."
"Stop messing around. You won't feel well if you drink too much." Lily restrains her joking expression and looks at Rex seriously.
Rex stops and holds her tender face with both hands. "Don't worry, your husband is fine. This amount of wine is a piece of cake. I can still serve you tonight...."
Lily opens her eyes wide and stands on tiptoe to cover his mouth. "Hey! Watch your words!"
Rex grabs her small hand into his palm. "It's just the two of us here. Nobody can hear us."
"How do you know that nobody can hear you? What if...."
"Alright, I won't say anything." Looking at her widened eyes, Rex's heart warms up. The emotional aftertaste of the wedding becomes even more turbulent under the catalysis of alcohol.
He has a lot of emotions swelling in his chest, but he doesn't know what to say, so he remains silent and tries to remember the feeling of this moment.
Being able to meet her in his life is more thrilling than any achievements in his career.
She is grateful that he approached her without hesitation, and so is he. If it weren't for Lily, he probably would never have a family of his own, let alone a wedding like this.
Thinking of the wedding, Rex can't help but feel guilty. "I owe you."
Lily doesn't expect him to say that all of a sudden. She paused for a moment before she understands what he means and says, "What's wrong with you? I said the wedding was perfect. I don't want your apology. This is the best of the best wedding I can ever imagine."
She says "best" twice, but instead of alleviating Rex's sense of guilt, it makes him even more uneasy.
His girl is so nice that she is happy with such a temporary and hasty decision.
He knows that he can give her something better, but there is nothing he can do due to his grandfather, the timing, and all sorts of reasons. She likes it because she loves him, and because she loves him, she can ignore all the negative experiences.
She can be indifferent, but he can't. He has to remember today and give her more in the future.
They are standing shoulder to shoulder with their eyes filled with each other's faces when a petite figure walks from the staircase behind them.
Lily is stunned for a moment, and then steps aside. She looks over and discovers a very young girl.
Rex has reserved the banquet hall and the private rooms on this floor. This girl's casual outfit implies she is not here to attend the wedding. Lily can't help but ask, "This is a wedding banquet. Are you
lost?"
Jasmine looks at the woman who is speaking. She is wearing a scarlet cheongsam and standing beside a man in a suit. Both of them look extraordinary, especially when paired with their amazing faces. They're so dazzling that no one dares to look at them for a long time.
Jasmine replies nervously, "I'm here to look for someone."
"Coming to a wedding banquet to look for someone?" Lily is a little confused. "Who are you looking for? I can take you there."
"Really?" Jasmine looks at Lily as if Lily is her savior. Heaven knows how long she has been wandering here without even finding the main banquet hall!
Lily is amused by Jasmine's shocked face. "Yes. Tell me."
Lily and Rex thought this girl might be the daughter of some boss, but when the young girl opens her mouth, their eyes widen in shock.
"I'm looking for Pehry."
Lily is lost for words.
And so is Rex.
They are slack-jawed for a moment before they turn and cast a glance at each other. In the end, Rex regains his senses, raises his eyebrows, and asks, "You're looking for Pehry?"
Jasmine nods with certainty. "Yes, I'm looking for Pehry."
Fearing of causing a misunderstanding, she quickly adds, "Pehry from the Red Club."
Lily looks at her in surprise. The young girl seems only eighteen or nineteen years old. She wears a white chiffon shirt and a pair of washed blue jeans. She is at most 1.6 meters tall, but she has a perfect body proportion. Her legs are straight and slender and her skin is fair. Her oval face is full of collagen, full of the traits of a young girl.
It's difficult to associate such a young girl with Pehry.
Lily is puzzled, but Rex, as Pehry's good friend, understands more or less what is going on.
This is the first time Rex speaks up so gently. "The person you're looking for is in the banquet hall. We'll take you there."
