Chapter 228 - Pick up a random stranger

Kris was able to get a few hours of sleep on the plane. Right as the plane landed, he opened his eyes immediately and got off the plane. It looked like he did not sleep one bit at all but he did. He drove himself here so he can drive himself back home.

He knew that he should go back to the Li mansion so he can head to the Main Li mansion in the morning with his mother but he really did miss Lena. Plus, with her temptation, seeing her for one second would not kill him.

Kris knew that Lena was not at the apartment tonight so he sneakily drove to the Shen mansion as he did before. He parked his car a few blocks away, hiding it in plain sight. He walked in the night with stealth, climbed over the Shen mansion walls, and stood out front Lena's balcony.

Just like last time, he climbed his way up to the second floor and arrived at Lena's room. With his skills, he was able to unlock the balcony doors and gently slide it open. He spotted Lena sleeping soundlessly as always on the bed.

He quietly walked over the to bed but stopped. "You know.... you're not as fat as the pillow you hid under the blanket," Kris whispered.

"NO!" Lena came out of the window curtains that she was hiding by. She silently spoke to Kris. "How did you know?!"

"Like I said... you're not as fat as the pillow." Kris flipped over the blanket, revealing the body pillow that Lena used to pretend to be her.

"You always say I have big body parts."

Kris chuckled. "Of course... big body parts in the appropriate places. It's not like you suddenly got fat in the few days that I left you."

"Fat? What if I did?"

"Then I'll make you do more push-ups."

Lena walked over to him. "That's not what you are supposed to say. You are supposed to say 'I will love you even if you are fat.'"

"Mhm... only if you are fat with my babies." Kris smiled at her.

Lena quickly put her hands on his cheeks and squeezed it. She smacked her lips on him and then released him. "I miss you so much."

Kris wrapped his arms on her waist and pulled her to the bed, letting her sit on his lap. He closed his eyes and breathed in her scent... only she would smell this sweet.

"Me too." He replied. "How did you know I was coming?"

"Of course, because I was sending brain waves to yours, saying that you should come to see me."

"Mhm.... I see. I was expecting a naked Lena waiting in bed for me though..."

"Yeah? Well, maybe another day. You have big stuff tomorrow." Lena stood up from his laps.

Kris sighed... yeah... big stuff tomorrow. He stood up with Lena and walked to her. "Do I get a goodbye kiss?"

"Of course... after your welcome back kiss that is."

Lena turned to face Kris and put her hands on his neck. He put his hands around her waist and brought them closer to each other.

Lena initiated the first kiss, putting her lips onto his and passionately kissed him.

"Welcome home." She whispered.

Kris nodded and then kiss her again, a deeper kiss this time. He made sure to make it long too so he did not have to leave her so soon.

Lena finally pushed him away after he was taking to long to leave her.

Kris got the signal. He kissed Lena one more time on the forehead then released her from his arms. "I'll see you on Monday then."

Lena did not reply but just smiled at him. "Goodnight."

Kris opened the balcony doors and climbed back down. Lena went out and watched him every step until he climbed over the walls and she could no longer spot him in the dark.

She sighed and calmed her heart before going back into her room. She locked the balcony door and closed the curtains before finally going to bed.

Lena woke up early the next morning. Madam Li did not exactly tell her what time she was having the driver pick her up so Lena just woke up extra early. She got dressed and pretty-up and was just waiting for her ride.

She told her parents that she had an event to attend and was getting picked up. Her parents stayed in their room and Lena just waited in the living room for her ride.

Finally at 10 a.m., her ride was here. Lena got up, grabbed her bag and went out. It was a big black limo. There were a driver and a bodyguard. The driver came out and opened the door of Lena.

"Morning, Miss. Shen."

Lena smiled at the driver and thanked him. She got into the limo and sat lonely in the spacious car.

"Is anyone else joining me?" Lena asked. She was curious why such a fancy ride just for herself.

"No, miss. Just you today."

The driver drove out of the Shen mansion property and continue to drive to the Main Li mansion. Lena does not know exactly how far the ride was going to be. She noticed that the bodyguard kept looking at her.

Not in the sense that he was interested in her... but more like he was spying on her. Lena ignored him and just stared out the windows.

She did not use her cellphone nor go for any of the refreshments in the limo.

After a while, Lena could feel that they were near. The limo slowed down and they went past gated security.

"Miss. Shen, Madam Li is outside waiting for you already." The bodyguard finally spoke for the first time in their ride.

Lena nodded in response. "And Kr--- I mean your young master?"

"Young Master Li is already inside the mansion. I would be near you at all times today as commanded by Madam Li. I will not be visible but with you, in any case, you get separated."

"I understand." Lena was not sure why she would get separated but she understood that it was always better to play it safe.

The driver pulled up to the front of the mansion and Lena spotted Madam Li outside, waiting for her arrival.

The driver parked the car, got out and opened the door for Lena. Lena gently got out of the Limo.

"Lena!" Madam Li hugged her. "So glad you can make it."

"Yes."

Madam Li nodded at the driver and he went back into the limo and drove away. By the time Lena turned around, the bodyguard was already gone... as he said... "won't be visible."

"Kris is already inside. Brunch is already set up. As expected, my mother-in-law did bring in a woman."

"Do not fret Madam Li, I would not let you or Kris down at all."

Madam Li smiled. She led Lena inside the mansion and they both walked to the main dining room. Lena could hear the laughter of an older woman and a younger one.

When they both arrived, the room was completely silenced. Kris too turned to look at them. He spotted Lena but showed no reaction. He just turned his head back again to the dining table as if their presence was not important.

Old Madam Li smiled mischievously. "Li Bai, I did not think when you said that you were bringing a friend with you, that it would be such a young woman."

"My mother did not go pick up a random stranger, she went to receive my girlfriend," Kris spoke out loud. His voice had no emotions though... it was just his usually boss and stern voice. Kris took the glass of water from the table and took a sip.

Lena smiled inside... this man... oh how much their minds are so connected.

Lena bowed. "Hello, I am Kris' girlfriend, Lena Shen."

"Girlfriend?" Old Madam Li scoffed. She knew that Kris would never have one... especially someone as low quality as Lena Shen. "You never had any female friends... when did friend turn into girlfriend?"

Lena lifted up her head and smiled widely at Old Madam Li. "Girlfriend Can also turn into wife too, Grandmother Li."
