Chapter 231 - Preparing a wedding or a funeral

Madam Li stood up from her chair. "I hope you remember your promise."

"You think that just because he has a girlfriend, he'll get married anytime soon? Do the boy even love her enough? Does he even know what a marriage is?" Elder Li spoke.

"You are doubting his healing process too much." Madam Li smiled. "If it was not for my late husband, both of us would not even consider you as family. Be thankful that all these years, the Wang family was kept in the dark about this family."

"Are you threatening me?" He raised his voice.

"I have threatened you many times the same way you have done to me. You have spent so many years in repent, and I hope you continue to do so and stay away from Kris' happiness. Forcing him to forgive you won't do you any good.

I use to think that the only thing between you and a bullet to your head was me... but it seems like I am no longer able to control him too." Madam Li walked out towards the door but turned around for a few final words. "If I were you... I would praise the young woman like she is your lifesaver."

Madam Li left the dining room and went back out to the front.

Elder Li clenched his old man fists... and closed his eyes to take a deep breath.

He knew what he did was wrong, unforgivable, and as much as he may want to repent, he knew that there are some things that you just cannot change about yourself. He was very old now, and changing habits is not as easy as if you were younger.

He was still a selfish and arrogant man. He did threaten Madam Li, using Kris against her. There are so many things that Kris does not know yet, and keeping the boy on his watch was the safest way to protect him. Only when he was ready, will the old man be able to pass away with at least one thing that he did well.

But, Elder Li was wary of Lena Shen. Such woman.... he did not think the day will come when Kris will have someone next to him. Only a truly strong and competent woman will be able to stand next to his grandson.... To be with a man like Kris and the Li family, it would take more than admiration or love.

"Wife..."

Old Madam Li looked at her husband.

"Go to the temple tomorrow. See if her birthday is a match for his."

"As you say so." She nodded.

None of them really ate much during the brunch, but with all the talk, Elder Li had lost his appetite. He told the workers to clean up the dining room. He left the room and went to his work office.

He walked up to the portrait of his only son... Li Jun. "Son.... I don't know if I will be preparing a wedding or a funeral...."

Elder Li closed his eyes again and took another deep breath. He sat down on his old man chair. He picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Master."

"I need you back home, now. Drop your current assignment and come back to City A." Elder Li spoke.

"Are you sure? Dropping my assignment now will mean that everything you work so hard in the last 5 years may be compromised."

"It's Kris."

"I'll return home immediately then."

"And while you're at that.... I want all the information you can get on Lena Shen."

"...." The young man on the other side of the call did not immediately reply back. 'Lena Shen... why does that name sound familiar to him.'

"Yes, Master." He finally replied back.

Elder Li sighed and then hung up. He knew that asking the young man to return home will only make Kris hate him more.... but what Kris does not know... is that comparing the young man to Kris' group of friends... only the young man will forever be Kris' ally.

When both Kris and Lena left the room, his hands around her waist, they did not glance back to see everyone's shocked expressions. They went out and walked down a long hallway, back to the main entrance.

"Why did you not tell me you were coming?" Kris spoke.

Lena could sense irritation in his voice. She placed her hands on her eyes to cover them up and then released them like playing peek-a-boo. "Surprise!" She smiled at him.

"Tsk.." Kris was even more irritated. He quickly pulled her waist, pushing her entire body closer to him and went for a kiss.

However, Lena reacted quickly by putting a hand over his mouth and pushing on his chest.

"You can't" She whispered to him. "Your mom put a spy on me."

Kris furrow his brows.... a spy? He did sense someone's presence with them since they left the dining room but it was very faint. He wondered what man has such skills... and especially if the person was sent by his mother. As expected... his mom definitely has something going on her end of things.

"Very well then." Kris released his hand on Lena's waist and turned to walk further, without waiting for her.

Lena knew that Kris was not in a good mood today. Not mainly due to her but also just with so many things going on today. She quickly ran after him, throttling in her heels to keep up with his pace. They turned a corner and Lena spotted something.

At the end of the hallway, Lena saw a woman who just walked out of a room. Looked like she worked here and just got done getting some materials from the closet.

She stepped her speed to finally catch up to her man. She grabbed his hand and pulled him.

"What?" He looked at her.

Lena winked at her and dragged him into the room where the worker came out of before. She quickly locked the door and put her arms around Kris. Without giving him a second to refuse, Lena planted a soft and passionate kiss on his lips.

They were in a small laundry room. The dryer was still running. Kris was pushing against the washer as Lena softly kissed his lips. When she was about to let go, he put on hand on her waist and another on the back of her head, pushing her lips back on his, not allowing her to leave so soon.

He flipped their position 180, so Lena was against the washer instead. He crawled his hand under her qipao skirt and grabbed her butt.

"Ah!" Lena squeaked.

Kris took the opportunity and stuck his tongue inside of her. Their soft passionate kissed has turned more aggressive. Kris pushed the back of her head closer to him so he can taste more of her. He did not let Lena take a break nor a moment to breath.. he continued to conquer every single piece of mouth.

Lena did not complain and just let the man do his thing until he was satisfied. She closed her eyes and grip a bit of his hair as he kissed her senseless.

She moaned from the great sensation that he was giving her. Kris finally stopped and pulled out satisfied tongue out of hers.

He pulled his head back to look at how pleased Lena was. He licked his lips... removing the excess mess he did and wiped the extra saliva that seeped past his mouth from Lena's lip.

He put his hands on Lena's cheek and caressed her semi-swollen lips with his thumb. Lena opened her eyes and looked at him. Kris stared into her soft pretty eyes, just looking at them. If the dryer was not so loud... it would just be them and a moment of silence.

"I like it when you moan for me." Kris spoke in a husky deep voice. He turned his head a bit and planted a soft kissed on her lips once more. "Were you not just so shy before... hmm?"

"I... I don't want someone else to see me.... how f*cken sexy I can be when I am with you." Lena replied.

Kris let out small laughter. Only Lena can make him feel better... he was glad that she was here with him today.

"You're right... I wouldn't want someone to see you too... like that."
