Chapter 180 - 180 Reception of Warm Words

Hand in hand, October and Lexus came into the greenhouse where the reception was held. As soon as they stepped inside, claps of congratulations instantly errupted from the guests that were already seated on their chairs waiting for the newly wedded couple. 

The couple was followed by the solemn-looking Grandpa He who seemed like he was about to go to war because of the bloodl.u.s.t in his eyes. Of course, the rest of the couple's peers was also not looking good. 

The guests' felt their smiles to freeze as cold sweat as the heavy and intense atmosphere hovered over them. Who do they feel like they were in a snowy mountain peak rather than in a greenhouse with the sun in the sky? 

What could have happened in that short amount of time at the garden?

As the people already in the greenhouse looked over, the remaining guests followed suit.  To their surprise, those guests looked like they were about to pass out. This was because of how ghastly pale their complexions were and the way they walk seemed to sway and stagger. 

Their interests piqued in curiosity. Seriously, what happened when they went ahead here in the reception? It was very obvious that something big had happened when they left. Their eyes glinted and looked at the guests that just entered in the greenhouse; yet those guests did not return their gazes and chose to stay quiet as they went to find their tables and seats.

Finally, all have been seated and October escorted by Lexus walked toward the table with two grand chairs up front which was placed on an elevated platform. As this heaven-defying beautiful couple walked, the air they carried was chilly yet not bitingly cold, instead it was comfortable. They can feel the calmness and the harmony the two had. It was such a mesmerizing sight that made all green in envy.

As they arrived on their table, Lexus gently pulled the chair for October to sit and then carefully arranged her wedding gown to avoid creases. Only after he did all of that did he took a seat right next to October. 

Lexus' actions were fluid, almost so natural. It showed how much he cared and pampered October and how meticulous he was in attending to her. He showed such a loving and warm atmoshpere who was deeply in love with his wife. He was already such a fine specimen of a man that looked like his looks were molded to perfection. Now adding his looks to his gentle atmosphere was a total kill for the ladies. 

No woman is immune to handsome men, especially to someone as good-looking like Lexus.

However, there was a crucial thing that they forgot while gazing at Lexus with infatuation in their eyes, and that was his ruthlessness and cold indifference to all of the people around him. To him, only a few people can enter his sight and the first exception was October. 

October was calm and composed and sat in her chair with elegance. Her ice beauty was so unique. Even if she does not show any emotions or expressions, in which the guests noticed, she was still very dazzling that men could not take their eyes off of her. If she was already so beautiful even with a face devoid of emotions, how much more if she would flash a geniune smile?

The Song family members and friends from City A who knew of Lexus' personality shivered in horror at this unuasual behavior of his. It was so shocking that they were sure that this person in front of them was not the real Lexus. The same goes to the directors of the Heaven Company which Mother Song invited. They were so petrified that their eyes popped out of their sockets and their jaws dropped to the floor. 

As for the He family members and a few close friends of Grandpa He, they did not show much reaction from this and only nodded in admiration and gave their approval for Lexus. They were satisfied by the treatment that October got from Lexus. Their hearts were now at ease. Their eyes were warm as they gazed at October.

"Thank you for joining us in this very special day for my son and daughter-in-law. I know that it must have been so sudden that you all were caught off guard and you have to adjust your schedules to attend their wedding. With that, on behalf of Lexus and October, I again thank you." Mother Song said this with her perfect smile. She scanned the crowd and was really grateful to them. "I will not say more so I will give the stage to Master He Tian."

After saying that, Mother Song went to where October and Lexus sat and kissed them both on their cheeks as tears of happiness flowed down her gorgeous face. "Congratulations, you two. Please give me another one or two grandchildren."

Despite her tears, Mother Song was still able to crack a joke. October felt her lip twitch in helplessness. She don't know what to answer with that. However, before she could come up of a good answer, Lexus had already beat her to it.

"Yes, mom. I'll do my best." Lexus said this in a straight face without getting fl.u.s.tered. Black lines instantly formed on October's stunning face before giving Lexus a glare and pinched his t.h.i.g.h under the table. Just that instead of hissing in pain, Lexus only chuckled at this and just grabbed her hand and held it lovingly without any plans of letting go.

"Good, good. I'll wait for my grandchildren then." Mother Song excitedly said and giddily went to the side where Father Song was waiting for her with open arms.

"Ehem." Grandpa He was still a little angry from what happened a while ago in the garden and it was still written on his old face. This was his precious granddaughter's wedding so he can't let himself ruin it. With that motive in mind, he regained his composure and now had a jovial face brimming with happiness and continued, "Thank you for witnessing the union of my precious granddaughter and Lexus."

Grandpa He was happy but his voice still cracked at the end. He then turned to look at October with red-rimmed eyes, a loving and doting face of a grandfather.

"Lan'er, I want you to be happy always. If being with him makes you happy, then I will support you. As your grandfather, I'm so proud of what you had become today. There's nothing more I can say than be happy and pursue the things you wanted to pursue. Just remember that if the world will turn their backs on you, I will never do so."

October felt a tug in her heart as her eyes started to turn misty and watery. She was so touched by the warm and loving words from her beloved grandpa, the only close family that she had. She stared at his face that was filled with wrinkles and again, she was reminded that her grandpa was getting older and older. On his kind face was the doting smile he always had while looking at her and she could not help but also return a very beautiful smile.

A tear then slid down her cheek unknowingly. "Thank you, grandpa."

Lexus showed a small yet gentle smile as he looked at October and squeezed her hand. He then got his while handkerchief and helped wipe his bride's tears that started to fall one after another.
