Chapter 269 - Necktie (1/2)
Lena stopped laughing when the crowd went silent for a second time. This time, she was sure it had to be the Li family.
What she did not like was the sight of Becca. Wasn't the woman suppose to be on assignment? And yet she is here instead of chasing other people's men.
Lena sighed.
Ming glanced at her and then took of sip from his glass. ”Are you going to walk over there?”
”And?”
”Give the woman a big slap on her face.”
”Please... I did that last time and I got the slap in the face. I know how to learn from my mistakes.” Lena laughed.
”Ah... I do remember that. But if that does happen, then you can kiss a random stranger again. I will volunteer as tribute.”
”Thank you for your volunteer. But this day and age, the woman doesn't always have to walk to her man, we like it when the man walks to us instead.” Lena gulped down the rest of her drink. She placed it back on the table. ”Your necktie is crooked.”
Lena loosened Ming's necktie.
”My necktie isn't crooked...” He was confused. He made sure he was in perfect shape whenever he went out. But then he realized what Lena was doing, seeing that Kris immediately walking over to them. ”Oh... yes thank you for fixing my CROOKED tie.”
Kris was wondering why he didn't see Lena immediately. She was all the way in the back, opposite of him and a group of people blocked her view from him. Once he caught sight of her, he slowly walked to her. He picked up his pace once she saw that she was fixing another man's tie... Ming's tie.
He did not even notice Becca trailing behind him. Kris immediately walked up to Lena and placed his hand on her waist and she finished fixing up Ming's tie for him.
Lena smiled sweetly at Ming. ”There, all good.” She patted the tie.
”Can I get mine fix too?” Kris interrupted.
Lena could already sense his hand on her waist and his glares at Ming. She also noticed the way Becca walked up and stood next to Kris, but not close enough to the man, respecting his space.
Lena turned her body a bit toward Kris and smiled at him. She glanced at his perfectly made tie.
”Aw babe, your tie is fine. And we all know that if I am taking it off, it wouldn't be here.” She giggled and gave him a greeting kiss on the side of his cheek.
”Mhnnnh!” Becca cleared her throat.
Lena popped her head out from Kris big body. ”Oh, Becca. I didn't see you there.”
”Hello, Miss. Shen.” Becca replied.
”Did you all come together?” Lena asked.
”Ah yes, I came with my Aunt and Kris.”
”Oh....” Lena looked at Kris again. ”Are you not going to stay with me tonight?” Lena made an innocent sad face.
Ming rolled his eyes, Lena had upped her game. He didn't need to be feed with these two!
”Becca is not useless... she can drive a car. I can go home with you.” Kris patted Lena's head.
”But I came with Kevin. It's okay, it's not his car anyways, we can go home in that car.” Lena replied.
”Kris, you only stayed with your mother for one night. Are you not going to visit her longer?” Becca spoke
”My mother is not a jealous woman if I stay with Lena, not like some people.” Kris replied.
Lena wanted to laugh out loud, but she held it in. ”Oh, I forgot, I still need to say hello to your mother and you need to meet my family. Becca, you can stay here and meet Ming Zhao, he's lonely.” Lena dragged Kris away.
”Oh, and Ming, how about some cookies as thanks?” Lena should at least thank him for using him.
Ming shook her head. Not because he did not want the cookies but he does not like the crazy woman that Lena leave him with. Hazel and now this woman who look like she can kill him with a blink of an eye.
”Ok, cookies then.” Lena answered for him and continued to walk away, leaving them.
”Do I get some cookies too?” Kris asked.
”Do you want everything that I give to someone else?”
”Yes.”
”Even if I shoot him?”
”....” Kris pondered. ”Yes.”
Lena laughed. ”You can deliver the cookies to him if you want. And yes, you can have some too.”
”OK.” Kris replied.
He looked at Lena's happy face as she dragged him to the crowd of the Shen family. He smiled. Lena did not see it as she was focused on walking but a few people who kept staring at the couple definitely say the emotionless Kris Li smiled at Lena.
”AHHH!” A girl squealed and pinched her partner. ”Did you see that? He smiled at her. Aren't they just a perfect pair.”
”Look, look. Is Kris Li wearing a ring? I didn't see that earlier when he came in.”
”Oh yeah... it is a ring? Did the two of them get engaged?”
”Did they? There were no announcements.”
Lena also wore her ring today. As they finally arrived where her family was, she already spotted Madam Li talking with her grandmother.
”Lena!” Grandma Shen shouted her name.
Lena went up to her grandmother and Madam Li. ”Hello, Madam Li.”
”You look pretty today.” Madam Li replied.
”Is that him?!” Grandpa Shen cleared his throat and glared at Kris. He looked Kris up and down. And then, with his cane, he patted it on Kris legs, and shoulder before nodding. ”Hello Kevin.”
”Grandpa, it's Kris. Kevin is your grandson's name.” Lena tried not to laugh.
”I know that!”
”Hello, grandpa... grandma.”
