"Haha! Nana, do you think that I am drunk?" Kevin suddenly pulled her into his arms and blew hot air around her neck.
"Drunk people would never admit that they are drunk," snapped Leena while avoiding his tease. She was also trying to untie his necktie from his military shirt.
"Leena, are you so eager to taste me now?" Kevin flashed a sly smile. Leena's hands paused when she saw that smile on his face. He didn't look like the usual upright major general at all. Leena gazed at him unbelievably.
"You are shameless and dirty! You untie the tie yourself!" Leena gritted her teeth and cursed. Then she broke herself free from his embrace. Why hadn't she found about this side of him before?"
"Are you mad at me, Leena?" Kevin sat up and glanced at her.
"Go take a shower, I will go downstairs to get some soup to sober you up," Leena said as she avoided looking at him. Yes, she was mad because he made her worried. He drank so much despite the fact that he knew how vulnerable his stomach was to alcohol. He always blamed Leena for not taking good care of herself and always making him concerned. However, Kevin was no better than her in that matter.
Seeing Leena's sullen face, Kevin laughed. He didn't feel angry at all. On the contrary, he was surprised to see Leena become so hot-tempered. In fact, he didn't drink much. He only drank a few glasses as necessary for socializing. He was far from being drunk.
They were going back home. Kevin came here by car so they could just drive back. That would save them from a lot of trouble since they didn't have to wait for a long time in the airport lounge if they went back by air.
"Lee, the New Year is coming in one month. What gifts do you prepare to bring back to your family?" Knowing that Lee would go home to visit his family during the New Year Holiday, Leena took the chance to ask. In this way, she could help him to prepare the gifts. She was always a very thoughtful woman.
"I haven't got any idea yet, but I think, the happiest thing for them is to see me come home," said Lee with a grin. Kevin was driving the car, so Lee was pretty much free.
"Yes, you're right. Your family must miss you very much since they haven't seen you for such a long time." Leena could understand what it felt like when one's family was away. She remembered that when she was in Paris, she always felt like there was something missing even though her family often visited her. It was not until now that she realized what it was! She missed the cheerful ambiance when everyone got together at home.
