Chapter 234 - Woman, Marriage, Babies, all at once (2/2)
”Why were you late?” Madam Li asked Four.
”I was just finishing things up as you requested.”
”And you were with Lena the entire time?”
”No, Ma'm.” Four replied... but he did not know why he lied. ”I lost her when she left with Kris.”
”I see... and did you get noticed?”
”I don't believe so Madam.... however, I do think that Kris is getting wary of you.”
Madam Li sighed... she knew that Kris would get suspicious of her someday. Her boy was really growing up. He was in the dark for so long and now he was in the light for too long. It was nice that he is able to still see the darkness in the light.
Kris needed to know how to spot those that are right and those that are wrong. Those who are there to help him and those who are there to harm him.
”Don't mind Kris. But I want you to find out why Lena visited the hospital the other day. And give me all her medical records.”
The car stopped outside the Li mansion.
”Madam... if I may ask... why do you want all her medical records? Did you not say you trusted her?” Four questioned.
”I do... I just need to know if she can give me grandkids or not.”
”....” Four had no reaction... of course, this was how Madam Li always was. 'Oh... I am sure she will be able to give you lots of kids... madam.'
Madam Li opened the door herself and got out. She took off her coat and hung it before walking to the living room. She immediately spotted her son, impatiently waiting for her to get him.
”Did you send Lena home?” Kris asked.
”I don't even get a welcome home?” Madam Li stared at her son who did reply back. ”Yes, I sent her back to her apartment, safely and in one piece.”
Kris looked up at his mother. ”So you know.”
Madam Li sat down on the sofa next to Kris. ”Of course. But, were you ever going to tell me if I never found out.”
”No.”
”I was wondering why your relationship was kept so quiet.... it was because you are the one who wanted it to be so, am I right?”
”Your selfish son just want his woman for himself for a bit. You just saw her today and you already took her away from me. This is why I need to hide her.”
”I was not complaining about that.” Madam Li smiled at how sweet her son has become. ”But... there is something I want to complain about.”
”....”
”Is Lena pregnant?”
Kris was puzzled at his mother's question. ”No. Obviously, your son is smart enough to not get a woman pregnant before marriage.”
”Pity.”
”What?”
”It would have been nice if she really was... did you see that face of your grandmother?” Madam Li chuckled.
”....”
”Aiya.... you should just get married already and have babies. Scratch that... I don't even care if you have babies before marriage, you can always get married later but babies cannot wait.”
Kris put a hand on his forehead... old ladies... When you are single, they say to get a girlfriend. And when you do, they say get married. And after that, its babies. But with his mother, its everything in one day. Woman, Marriage, Babies, all at once.
”I can only give you one child anyways...”
Kris broke Madam Li's happiness as she herself remember the stupid curse of the Li family. She was supposed to be the breaker of the curse... but because the a*shole grandfather pushed another woman to Li Jun, it actually did not work.
Because the curse also said staying faithful to one woman... and even though Li Jun was faithful to Li Bai... the act of another wife and broken relationship that they had... it did not work out in gods' favor.
She should go visit the temple soon and talk to the old temple lady about what she can do to still break the curse.
”You should not worry about stupid things like that.” Madam Li spoke. ”After all, did she not say she was blessed?”
”I think she was just saying that at the moment of everything.”
”Hmm...” Madam Li did not think that Lena was lying at all throughout her ”acting.” She wondered if Lena was truly blessed.
But then... Old Madam Li also said something about Lena killing her sister? Madam Li should also look into that more too... After all, she won't let the old lady bully her future-daughter-in-law.
Kris also remembered that his grandmother also said the comment about Lena and her sister. Kris did not think about it much but he knew that the comment did hurt Lena. He should actually go make sure that was alright....
Kris stood up and walked toward the front door.
”Where are you going?” Madam Li shouted at him.
”To make babies.”
”...”
