"Oh my G.o.d! This is so beautiful . I could never imagine that a garden could look so pretty," Jia Li exclaimed, standing at the entry .
The wedding was being held in a quaint little garden . The place had a Victorian feel to it . Picket fences had been set up as a boundary to the place . Small vibrant shrubs and ferns were dotted with the placement of sundials, obelisks, and gazing b.a.l.l.s amongst them .
A birdbath had been placed at the curve of a serpentine flowerbed . A small fountain was giving the yard a look of grandeur and elegance . Cast Iron tables and chairs had been set up for the guests to sit on post the ceremony .
But the true delight for Jia Li came from the small swings which had been set under various st.u.r.dy trees .
Hui was thoroughly enjoying the animation on her face . He even snuck a few pictures of her exclaiming over various things .
"Aren"t you being the perfect boyfriend today? I am impressed," Eric stood there with a naughty smile on his face .
In a white tuxedo, Eric looked charming enough to make enough girls swoon over him . As a concession to the occasion, Hui had dressed formally as well .
At Eric"s words, Hui straightened his expressions and said defensively, "you must be mistaken . I was just helping her . She asked me to click the pictures . "
"Oh, look at you getting so touchy . I came over to introduce you to the groom before others start arriving . The bride"s family has also left and should be here any time soon," he said .
"Uh… ok, but I can"t see Jia Li around anymore," Hui said, suddenly realising that she had vanished while he had been talking to Eric .
"Gosh, stop being a worry hen . She won"t disappear in the next ten minutes that you leave her alone . Let her enjoy the place," Eric couldn"t stop laughing .
He knew that bringing Hui and Jia Li on this trip had been the right thing to do .
"Ying Hui, meet Ethan Hunt . He is my boss, mentor and friend . And Hui, this is my brother who fell for an oriental beauty few years ago and never recovered . He is going to pay the price for it today," Eric introduced the men, in his trademark style .
Ethan shook hands with him warmly and said, "I am really glad to meet you Mr Ying . I have heard great stuff about you from Eric . I am so glad that you could join us today . Have you not brought your date alongwith?" he asked, remembering that Eric had mentioned about it, the evening before .
Hui told him that she was in love with the place and was roaming around soaking it in .
"Chu will be glad to hear that . The place was discovered and chosen by her," he answered with a smile .
Ying Hui made his exit from there after a few moments as more guests started to arrive . Even the bride"s family had arrived, everyone looking splendid .
He didn"t wait to meet them and instead went to look for Jia Li . It was as if he couldn"t bear to stay away from her today .
Hui found her sitting on one of the swings, her gaze fixed somewhere distant . She looked picture perfect . Bringing out his phone, he clicked what was the umpteenth picture of her today . He couldn"t get enough…
"Just help me find a spot where I can see the proceedings but am not in the centre of them . And for heaven"s sake, get rid of this chair till the time the ceremony doesn"t end," Tang wrote to Patricia on the screen .
"Just because you are looking slightly handsome in the tuxedo, you think you can boss over me? Why should you hide away at your own sister"s wedding? I think this place near the centre is good . You can see the wedding rituals and also the stunning view around . By the way, you sister has some really good taste . I feel like I am at some British Lord"s manor from the eighteenth century . The place is stunning . How on Earth did she find this venue?" Pat exclaimed .
"I believe that she was chasing a story when she stumbled upon this area and fell in love instantly . She had declared right then that this would be the place where she would get married . I believe it took quite a bit of convincing on her part to arrange permission to hold the marriage here," Tang typed on his phone .
After Pat helped him sit, she went to put the wheelchair away . Tang took the time to tug at his sleeves and pants to try and sit as comfortably as he could under the circ.u.mstances . Surveying the place, his eyes fell upon a guy who was shrugging out of his jacket . As Tang watched, he went and put it on a woman"s shoulders, who was sitting on one of the swings .
He fancies the woman! Tang thought to himself .
