Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

[SOME TIME BACK]

Seeing Elaina leave so hastily, without even eating anything, Old Ye became worried. Even though Elaina had said that she will come back to eat, Old Ye knew that at the end of the day, she won't. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. Old Ye nodded and then took her phone out of her apron pocket, she dialed Li Wei's number and waited for the call to get connected.

Li Wei who was sitting in his office and looking through some documents saw his phone ringing. On seeing that it was Old Ye, he accepted the call. "Hello, Grandma Ye?"

"Young Master, did I disturb you?" Old Ye said from the other side of the phone.

"No, you didn't. What is the matter?" Li Wei asked, his eyes still on the documents that he was reading earlier.

"It's about Young Madam," Old Ye said, and as soon as Li Wei heard Old Ye referring to Elaina, his hands automatically put down the documents he was holding, and his all attention when to the words that Old Ye was going to say next.

"What is it?" Li Wei said, and even Old Ye could feel the attentiveness in Li Wei's tone. A smile came upon Old Ye's lips and then she went on narrating the whole incident of how Elaina went out in hurry without eating anything. As Old Ye's words ended, Li Wei had a frown on his face, he didn't like the idea of Elaina neglecting herself due to some work.

"Ok, Old Ye. I will see to it," Li Wei said as he disconnected the call. "Mu Shufen!" Li Wei said as he kept aside his documents and then waited for his secretary to come. In fraction of seconds, Mu Shufen entered the office and said, "What happened, C.E.O?"

"Clear my schedule for this evening. I will be back after lunch," Li Wei said as he got up, taking his coat and things needed, he walked towards the door of the office.

"But Sir! How can you-!" Before Mu Shufen could even protest, Li Wei said, "I am going to spend the evening with Elaina," and then he walked away.

As soon as Mu Shufen heard his words, he took out his phone, and then dialing a number, he said, "Good evening, Mr. Choi. Our C.E.O has some very important matters to attend, so I would like to postpone the lunch that was scheduled today. Sorry for the inconvenience.......," as Mu Shufen walked out of the room.

[PRESENT]

"So, what you want to go?" Li Wei said as he took Elaina's hand and then entered the restaurant room.

"Cough~ Only because I have no choice! It's not because I want to lunch with you, so don't think-"

GRRRRRR.....

Elaina's sentence was cut off by the sudden grumbling of her stomach, Li Wei who was surprised at this as well chuckled and then said, "You don't want to eat, but your stomach keeps-"

"Korean!" Elaina said with a raised voice, with her eyes closed, she could not let Li Wei tease her like this.

On listening to this, Li Wei had a huge grin on his face, and clutching Elaina's hands tightly, he said, "Let's go then." Soon they reached the room that had Korean cuisine. As said, this restaurant provided an environment similar to if you are eating in the place of the dish's origin. As the receptionist, opened the room of the Korean cuisine, soon Elaina and Li Wei found themselves, as if they were sitting in a Korean restaurant.

They went to the table of the typical Korean barbeque where the grills were attached to the table itself. Because Korean barbeque was made on spot, the guests were given the ingredients and the side dishes and the meat was to be grilled by themselves. With some soju also coming, Li Wei and Elaina were all set for their Korean barbeque.

Before Elaina could even take the tools for grilling meat, Li Wei reached them first. Eliana looked at Li Wei when their eyes met, Li Wei gave a shrug and then continued with the process. The grill was now ready to be kept meat on and fully heated, taking a large portion of pork, Li Wei started to cut it with the help of the scissors that were provided.

Elaina was interested in seeing Li Wei do this, from what she had seen, she never had the chance to see him cooking, or even enter the kitchen till now. As Li Wei started to cut the pieces in perfect squares, and how he dressed it, with pepper and other things, surprised Elaina. She thought that he didn't know how to cook but she was amazed at this scene in front of him. 

From the grill, Elaina's gaze landed on Li Wei himself. He had kept his coat aside and was wearing a dark blue waistcoat, with the sleeves of the white shirt that he wore inside folded up to the elbows. His hair that was set neatly, was now sticking to his forehead. His gaze was totally focused on the grill while he was cutting the meat in clear eatable square sized, and turning it around with chopsticks. As Elaina's gaze went from the head to the neck, his adam's apple was still. Elaina noticed that the button of his shirt was open, exposing a portion of his chest. Her hand unconsciously supported her chin, and the fingers brushed her lips.

Someone is getting perverted ( ͡❛ ᴗ ͡❛)

"Should I also stare at you the way you are staring at me?" Li Wei said as he faced Elaina, who was startled by Li Wei's words.

Knowing that she got caught, Elaina cleared her throat and her mind wandered for an explanation. "I-I wasn't staring at you! I was looking at your cooking. I never knew you could cook."

Keeping the things that were in his hands aside, Li Wei cleaned his hand with the tissue and looking straight into her eyes, he said, "There are still many things that you don't know about me. Remember the offer of discovering new things together? That is still open for you," with a seductive smile.

"Not interested," Elaina said as she replied directly with a poker face and then said, "Let's eat."

Li Wei shrugged, after which they both started to eat.

As the lunch came to an end, Li Wei, said while cleaning his hands with a tissue, "I have bought the shares, just as you told."

Elaina who had completely forgotten about it, on listening to Li Wei's words, said, "Thank you. Also can you please make an appearance in the first hospital, during the next board meeting?"

"I will, but on a condition," Li Wei said as the mood turned serious.

"What is it?" Elaina asked.

"You dismissed every shareholder, but Zhen Dong is still there. With so many evidence about him, you could have easily driven him out. Then why?" Li Wei said, as he clasped his hands together and let his chin rest on it. Elaina who heard Li Wei's words, said, "I like his work. Just because of that. I am thankful that he kept the first hospital enact."

A smug smile had formed on Li Wei's face.

"Tracking every movement of someone you are grateful to. Sounds interesting," Li Wei said, which made Elaina flinch.

"I-I have no idea what are you talking about," Elaina said as she tried hard to pretend innocent. Taking her coat, she got up from her seat and was ready to leave when Li Wei said, "Zhen Dong is the one behind your accident one year ago, am I right?"

As soon as Elaina heard about Li Wei's hypothesis, her steps stopped on track.

Turning around she said, "H-How do you know about this?"

"I am not someone who can just turn a blind eye towards an incident that changed our lives, Miss Wang." Li Wei said as he threw another bomb. 

"From when did you know this?" Elaina asked, as her curiosity had raised to the peak that she could not ignore it. 

"Just, a moment after you confirmed it," Li Wei said with a sinister smile. As soon as he finished his words, he took out his phone, and soon a recording was played with the following contents 

'A foreign company has acquired the first hospital! You all promised me that nothing like that would happen if I would help you to kill that Yu Yan or whatever she was!'

'Good Morning, Mr. C-'

'Cut the crap, and come to the topic'

'Sir, a foreign company-'

'Sorry, Mr. Zhen. My boss has some important work. And so he won't be able to talk to you'

Till this point, Elaina was far more than surprised, how can he know of this recording!

"How do you-" Elaina was going to say something when the audio's last part was played. 

'But it can be that he is not that person, right? It can be someone else as well'

'No, it's him. I can never forget that voice. Never.'

The recording ended with Eliana's voice.
