Chapter 179 - Pick up a fight (1/2)

Ming dragged Lena to a less crowded area. He smiled and looked at her.

”You owe me.” He said.

”Owe you? It's all your fault!” Lena rubbed her arms that both of them were tugging at.

”My fault? I didn't do anything.”

”Yeah... it's because you are unmarried.”

”Then it's your fault too. You are not married also.” Ming smirked at Lena. ”I am surprised you came with Madam Li today.”

”Why?”

”Just that... you have been fairly close to the Li family lately. Didn't you say that you did not want to catch too many attention?”

”That was before.”

Ming grabbed Lena's hand.

”Where are you taking me?” Lena questioned.

”To the event area obviously. It's starting in half an hour. We should be there already.”

He held her hand and they both entered the event room. Many people were already seated and talking around. The guests were excited about what was going to be new this year.

Lena spotted Eva with a few of the young rich ladies. Most likely, they were going to be her bridesmaid at her western wedding.

Ming released Lena's hand and grabbed a drink for her. She took and quickly sipped it. It has been a while since she drank.

”Since you don't mind the attention anymore, we can have our date right?”

”Date?” Lena did not have time to have a date with Ming.

”You were the one who suggested it. Or, are you going back on your words with both families and letting them do it the old ways?” Ming taunted her.

Definitely not the old way. ”Fine. Friday night works for you?”

”Sure. I'll come to pick you up.” Ming tapped Lena's glass and drink his wine. ”So... are you going to sit with Madam Li or me?”

”She's not sitting with you.” A rough voice spoke.

Lena turned around and spotted her black prince charming.

Kris arrived and quickly walked past the annoying paparazzi. When he entered the main event room, he spotted his mom. He was walking towards her when his sight located Lena. And not only that, she was with Ming Zhao.

He immediately changed direction. No wonder his mother called an emergency, this was indeed an emergency.

Kris grabbed Lena's arm and tugged her towards him.

”Mr. Li! Did not know you were coming.” Ming stuck his hand out to shake Kris'.

Kris smirked and avoided the handshake, to which Ming just let it go.

Kris looked down at Lena. ”Lena, you came here with my mother, are you not suppose to be with her right now?”

”I apologize. I got sidetracked. I will go to her now.” Lena turned away from the men and went to sit by Madam Li. Madam Li noticed Lena walking her way and her eyes lightened up when she saw her son here too.

Kris walked closer to Ming and exerted his dominance in the atmosphere. ”What are you doing? You should know better to stick to your own side of things.” Kris sternly spoke.

Ming walked up closer to Kris, only leaving a small gap between them. Their height was nearly the same and their assertiveness was competitive. ”Is that so? Says the man who is obviously hiding many things from her.”
