*I'll take you on a boat ride, a journey through the sea side, we could see the peace sign the sky and the Neverland....oh please don't sign cuz I could also push you at both sides*

Lee drove back home and had dinner with them although he came crazily late, they still looked happy to see him, they asked Lee to take a stroll with the daughter of quin and he did, he accompanied her to the beach side as he said nothing and didn't spare her a glance, feeling akward she began a conversation. "Your grandma told me you have specific taste is that true."
Lee raised a brow "My grandma doesn't lie."
She laughed akwardly "Haha I'm sorry I didn't mean it that way."
"What's your name again?." Lee asked
"Kai, Quin Kai."
"Good, Kai I don't really know why we need to go through these formalities, I'm sure my grandma must have told you what this marriage is about this is a contract marriage all you have to do is bore a child and have the family name so don't strike convos with me as I don't care for you I just need tranquility and you seem to be obstructing it." Lee said as he stared at the swing by the side
Kai bent her head in shame as he just spoke to her as though she was a tool to be used.
Lee spared her a glance and felt a bit sorry for her, he was sure this wasn't her decision either must be family pressure and he was taking out his frustration on her "Do you want to swing?."
Kai looked up at him this was the first time she had a close view of his face and he looked stunning "Y.. yes." They strolled to the swing and he helped her sit on the swing as he striked a disturbing conversation "You have someone you are in love with."
Kai didn't know if it was a question or a declaration "umm .....I."
"Don't lie it would be stupid as we are both adults."
"Y..yes, he's an engineer."
"That's good well you could still have him as we won't leave at the same place and we might apply for insemination."
She turned to him and wondered why he spoke really blunt.
"Or do you prefer that we are not in love and I make love to you."
"Yes." she blurted out.
"hmhm." he gave a soft laugh "I thought as much." Lee couldn't deny that he was aware of his carm he was good looking and although he had a scare on the lip it didn't reduce his beauty a bit he was a weirdly astounishing so he wasn't surprised when ladies make a fool of themselves over him.
"We are going to get married so is right we do things the right way and I need a cute ring." Kai blushed
Lee smirked "I don't play and I don't make time to but if you need to be indulged I can do that." he said simply
Kai bit her lips as she felt some kind of way was this him flirting? was he trying to see her reaction? hmm he doesn't seem to care for me but he's gonna care for me eventually.
"Can't say much about you, but I know I had a good discussion." Lee said as he stood up from the swing and walked a bit further before saying "I'm not him but I'm sure I mean something to you Kai strange isn't it? you seem weak at heart, few conversation with you and you already feel a pull you have to work on that." and with that he left
Kai stared at him leave as she smiled to the fact he was adapting to her as he didn't make any comment about not liking her or something like that she smiled with determination "I know I'm younger Lee but I'll take care of you and mend your bleeding heart." she said as she got out the swing too.
At the end of the meeting they sent them off and Lee went straight to bed staring out his window in silence as he thought to himself, there was a knock on the door and his grandma came in.
"Your still awake."
"Hmm."
"How was your chat with the lady?."
"It was ok." he said simply
"Is that why you declined dinner with other families?."
"I don't want to indulge in numerous meetings as I have a lot to do and they all come for the same thing the family name so why go through the stress. I'll have to return back to Tokyo tomorrow tell me if you need anything."
"I don't but I do need you to reduce the security as at yesterday you increased the number of guards and official and I feel a bit suffocated."
"Ma I'll ensure they don't get in your way, they are just here to ensure your safety."
"Hmm I see you love me so much ."
Lee stared at her and gave a calm smile.
"so your leaving tomorrow." she asked
"Hmm."
"Your engaging her two days from now, she'll come over and stay with you for a while so you get to know each other as you both will spend the rest of your life together."
"Hmm."
"That's my boy have a good night."
"Good night grandma." he said as he went to bed, the next day he headed back to the city and stayed for a day before kia came over, the media had taken pictures of her trailing at his back on the way to his company and they also left together she was tagged his new girlfriend.
Adria had been living normally even though few times she thought about Lee but Asachi and Yan chen were always around her to keep her company and distract her from thinking about him, she began her work at the Lu's company when the paperwork were completed, they went to the usual routine in work though she had been promoted and had her own office, work went smoothly and she and Asachi always go grab drinks most times after work.
she put all here focus on her job and helped increase there trading as she had learnt new strategies from Lee's company, within a week the company grew more, Adria also heard the rumors about Lee and a new lady but she tried not to think much of it as she was just keeping to herself now.

Lei had been seeing Sofia for the while now, but his fiance Sang che came back and he had been ignoring Sofia, he always spent time with Lee in his office and never spoke to her when he saw her, he acted like he never knew her and this was a burden to her.
