Chapter 320 - Finally, a wedding. (2/2)

”...” Lena was really expecting to finally meet him today. ”Your ex-wife.”

”Ex-Who?”

”Kris...”

”I told you... you'll never meet him.” Kris answered her.

”I don't understand. Is he so ugly that he can't even attend his buddy's wedding?” Lena felt sad for Hugh. She felt like the man was always so secretive and hidden from the public that he missed a lot of gatherings.

”Sometimes... you have to sacrifice a lot to protect the people you love.”

”That makes me want to meet him even more.”

”Maybe someday... when the world isn't so cruel.” Kris replied softly.

That right... Ming Zhao was always excluded from public events with the group. It was something that had been done in their group of friends since the beginning.

The tension between the two families is not just between blood, but the rooted deep inside the power struggle of both families.

If it was a love story... Kris and Ming would be Romeo and Juliet.

Lena could feel a deep sadness and anger from Kris..

”I am tired...” She wrapped her arms around his hand.

”We can leave.” Kris smiled at Lena.

The bride and groom already left because they were leaving for their honeymoon the next morning.  There were only a few people chatting and congratulating the parents.

Lena told Gary not to stay too late. Gary still wanted to stay around for a bit. He was quite a woman magnet at the wedding, stealing the attention away from Lay. Lena still forced James to stay with Gary since there was not a personal guard with Gary.

And since she was with Kris, she would always be safe.

Kris drove them both back to the hotel. As they got into the elevator, Kris could really tell that Lena was exhausted.

Kris smiled. She didn't even do much except talk and stand pretty. Sometimes she can kill a whole army and still be so hyper... yet other days, a small walk can make her extremely exhausted.

”You're hiding something from me.” Kris spoke as he pressed the button to their floor.

”Huh?” Lena blinked. ”I am not.”

”You're not very good at lying to me.”

”Everyone has secrets,” Lena replied.

”I know.” Kris held up his hand and caressed Lena's face, softly touching her the side of her face. ”But I don't want you to be so stressed out... you look so tired.”

”Am I?” Lena did a half yawn. ”Maybe.”

”It's true that I want to know every little thing about you. It hurts me when I don't know something about you.” Kris admitted. ”But... everyone does have their own secrets. Just...” He paused. ”Just don't keep something from me if it's hurting you. You're not alone.”

He pulled Lena in and kissed her soft cold lips.

At that moment, the elevator door opened. Kris walked out first. Lena looked at the handsome man's back as she was still standing so still in the elevator.

Kris stopped and looked back at Lena once he felt that Lena was not walking with him.

”Was the kiss so good that you're still in shock?” He chuckled.

He looked at Lena who was still just... standing in the elevator in a daze looking straight at him. There was not an emotion in her look, but he felt like she was going jump at him and eat him in the next second.

”Kris.”

”Hmm?”

”Let's ---”

As Lena was about to say something, the elevator door closed. She panicked and quickly put her hand to stop the door from closing. She quickly walked out and stumbled towards Kris.

”Are you that tired that you can't walk? Should I carry you?” Kris smiled.

Lena stood up straight and looked at Kris,  ”Let's get married.”
