Imperfect Desires

658 All The Blessings

Xiu had also noticed that the ring bearer's role was given to Asteria while the flower girl was none other than, little Ava. This was a surprise to her. But then again, there were no other kids in this family for some reason.

After that when the efficient said, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today..." Xiu simply blanked out after that. She hadn't attended many weddings in both of her lives but she had to say as much as she was once fond of getting married, now she found all these proceedings to be rather unnecessary.

However, every girl once had a dream of a perfect wedding. She once did as well. But a certain wedding left such a bitter aftertaste in her life that she found this gathering to be a headache. Or maybe it had something to do with her raging hormones. These mood swings were rather strange.

"You may exchange the rings..."

As these words rang out, only then did Xiu's attention went back to the ceremony. It was a good thing that the recessional was in the same hall and they didn't have to get up or anything. At least, Xiu found it very helpful.

"This wedding ceremony went without a hitch," remarked Xiu. "I don't know whether to feel happy about it or..."

Darren gave her a look as he said, "You should be giving them your blessings."

Xiu nodded her head in agreement, "They would need all the blessings."

"What do you mean?"

Xiu shrugged in reply, "Even I don't know what I mean."

And just as the recessional was about to begin, only then was Ying allowed to enter the hall.

"Ms. Yan, you can go inside now." Ying looked at the stern-looking man who added, "You know I was just following the orders."

"Relax! I won't bite you," said Ying as she passed by his side and entered the hall with a complicated mood.

With heavy steps, she brought Han Bohai to Xiu's table.

"You finally made it!" Xiu was very excited as she hugged Ying.

"Take care of him. I need to get some answers!" with that Ying walked off leaving a baffled Han Bohai and Xiu, who was shaking her head.

She patted his shoulder saying, "Don't worry. She'll be fine."

"Oh, that I know. I just wonder if the others would be fine."

Xiu laughed at Han Bohai's reply. "You've really read her like an open book."

Han Bohai gave her a sad smile as he thought to himself, 'I only couldn't read one person and it cost me her life. It'd be a pity if I still couldn't read people.'

Meanwhile, Han Bohai's expressions were twisted as he pointed at Darren and Xiu as he asked, "Mr. Salvay, she's your wife?"

Xiu could hear some disbelief in his voice and it made her frown. "Why? Is it that difficult to believe?"

Han Bohai nodded honestly, "I always thought Mr. Salvay's life partner would be rather..."

"What?" Xiu's eyes narrowed as she challenged him to finish that sentence on a bad note. She was about to beat him right here, right now!

Han Bohai shook his head as he said, "I mean to say with his personality I never thought he'd have such a lively wife."

Darren wounded his arm around Xiu's waist as he said, "I guess my sad life needed a happy virus like her."

Han Bohai smiled in understanding, "That I can agree with." Then he looked at Xiu and added, "Seems like I'll have to call you lady boss from now on."

"No, you'll have to call her boss because the RX Studios' real boss is my wife."

"I never agreed to that," retorted Xiu unhappily.

"You never said no as well," said Darren cheekily.

"That's only because I can't bring myself to say no to you."

Darren's smile widened, "And that is exactly the point I'm going to take advantage of."

"Regan!"

"Yes, my Sweets?"

Looking at these two, Han Bohai felt like he was third-wheel. How strange that there were so many people around here and yet he felt like that. And if he had any doubts about their relationship before it was all gone seeing this argument (if one could call it that.)

"Get used to it." Han Bohai turned around and gave a nod to Nora who suddenly spoke. Pointing at Xiu and Darren with her eyes, she added, "This is something you can't escape. Even if you have a girlfriend, these two can make you feel lonely. So, protect your heart and feelings around them."

Han Bohai was about to say something when Cali also joined in saying, "Nora is right. These two live in their own world. So they don't care about hurting the feelings of people in this world."

"Strangely I don't feel lonely," said Han Bohai. "In fact, I feel like I want to have what they have." He looked back at the girls before flashing them a grin, "I need to work hard, I guess."

Nora shook her head at him, "This is why I called you the male version of Xiu."

"There is no one like Xiu," came a soft baby voice and the three of them looked at Jackie who was glaring at his sister. "There is only one Xiu. There can't be anyone like my sisters."

Nora squished her brother's cheeks saying, "Little brother, I want to cuddle you so much today."

"Keep your distance," retorted Jackie while looking for a way to get away from Nora.

Seeing his reaction, Cali and Han Bohai couldn't help laughing at this pair of siblings.
