Chapter 326 - No wedding.

"We saw them downstairs. Seems like they didn't remember which room the dinner was. Luckily, they saw us." Shen Mao spoke.

Lena awkwardly smiles and then looked at Kris who has not said a single word. Well... if they both were actually invited, the workers would have to lead them to the correct room. Of course, ;this old couple was obviously not invited and were just staking out the place, targetting Lena's parents so they can join them for dinner.

"Hello, Grandfather... grandmother." Kris finally greeted them. He did not want to look bad in front of his future in-laws.

"Ah, Kris... hope you don't mind us old people arriving late." Elder Li smiled happily.

Of course, Kris can't mind... because they also arrived with Lena's parents. So the old man saying they were late... he was also saying that the Shens were late too.

Lena could see the lightning ;zipping through both of their eyes at each other.

"Why don't we all sit down?" Lena interrupted their silent war.

Elder Li and Shen Mao sat at the ends of the table. Lena sat on one side with Kris, while the mothers sat on the opposite side.

Just as everyone sat down, Old Madam Li was blurted out from excitement. "So when are you both getting married?" She smiled and her eyes twinkled.

"Ma...Married?" Lena glanced at Kris, giving him the look that she wants to kick these two old people out.

"Aiya! Don't be shy... it can only be good news if both of you invite both families to dinner." The old lady chuckled. ;

"You're both getting married?" Shen Milli asked.

"Married?! Already...? You can wait for one more year." Shen Mao replied.

"Next year? Husband... are you healthy that you want to wait until next year?" Shen Milli yelled at him. ;

"I have no objection!" Elder Li smiled and nodded his head. "The 3rd of next month is a good day!"

"3rd? So quick? Don't worry, you have me, and both of your mothers to help you prepare for the wedding." Old Madam Li spoke. She mentioned two mothers because if Lena was joining the Li family, Madam Li would be her mother too.

"You want a big wedding still?" Shen Milli asked her daughter. She knew that when Lena was young and when she was engaged with Andy... she had always wanted a big wedding. She wanted to be the most beautiful bride with the grandest wedding.

"Of course!" The old lady replied before Lena could even mumble a response. "Don't you worry... marrying into our family, of course, she will have a big wedding. I only have on grandchild... his wedding will be the most memorable wedding of the year."

"I--uh..." Lena tried to say something but was yet cut off by the old lady again.

"Don't you worry, child. You just leave everything to us... and you keep healthy. You need a little more meat and you will look good in a wedding dress. Too skinny is not healthy for the body. You can move into the Li mansion or even better, the main mansion if you want!"

Lena doesn't know what exactly about this old couple that rubs her wrong... but she is getting angry and impatient about these two.

This time, it was Kris who held Lena's hand and gave it a soft squeeze.

"We're not having a wedding." Kris sternly spoke.

"I can't wait to invite the old--- wait... no wedding?" Old Madam Li finally stopped talking.

"We both decided on not having a wedding... and even if we do have one, you're both not invited."

"....." Both of the elders did not respond.

"I think both of you should leave. I don't need your opinions or approval to marry whomever I want. You both should know more clearly by now what I mean."

Old Madam swallowed as she felt the cold chills on danger. She was about to say something but Elder Li stopped her.

"We'll leave first then..." He spoke. "I apologize for not being able to join you for dinner, CEO Shen. Maybe... on better circumstances, will we have dinner ;as a family ;next time."

The old man grabbed his old lady and they both silently left the room.

As they leave, Shen Mao and Shen Milli did not utter one word about what happened.

"Dad..." Lena looked at her father.

"I apologize for that, Father." Kris looked at Shen Mao and lowered his head.

Shen Mao was caught off guard. He did not know if it was because the young man just kicked out his grandparents... or if it was because he called him "Father" in the most sincere tone.

"I know it must had looked unfilial of me to have asked them to leave... but for me... the only family that I have is my mother." Kris softly spoke as he held Lena's hand. "And of course, now you both.. and Lena.. will be my family. I just wish that you both understand where I am coming from regarding my relationship with them."

Shen Mao cleared his throat. "Of course... you're going to be my son-in-law... I will always understand. And I know that whatever you do... is always for the best for Lena."

Shen Mao grabbed Lena's other hand. "Aiya.... ;my little Lili is finally getting married for real this time... ahahahaha. You can't really wait till next year though right..?"

"Mao!" Shen Milli shouted at her husband.

"I was just confirming... it felt like just yesterday she learned how to walk!"

Both Madam Li and Shen Milli laughed. ;

"And the wedding?" Shen Milli asked.

"We will have a wedding," Lena replied. "But for now... Kris and I just want to quietly married. There.... there are something that we both are busy with and having a grand wedding at the moment is not good. And waiting for after that is too long."

"We're planning to register our marriage in a few days... after discussing it both parents. As Lena said, we will have a grand wedding when the time is right."

The parents look at each other as if reading each other's thoughts. They wanted to get married soon... but have no wedding. Could it be....?

"I am not pregnant..!" Lena blurted out. ;

Madam Li and Shen Milli looked at Lena with a "we-didn't-say-you-were" look.

Lena gave then the "but-I-know-you-were-thinking-about-it" look.

"But if we get married... then wouldn't I be able to faster?" Lena added.

Shen Mao coughed heavily. When did his daughter think so far ahead already?! In the past he was just teasing her... aiya... children do grow up too quickly.
