Chapter 196: His laughter

THWACK 

A short sound came when Eliana bumped her back into the cupboard. 

Moving backward, she had now hit her back on the cupboard lightly, thus the last step she had taken led her to the end of the room, and as she realized it, her heartbeat started to increase and there was a sudden adrenaline rush.

As said, she could feel her heart leaping out of her chest. 

Li Wei was only a step far from her, Eliana and Li Wei's gazes were locked thus she couldn't bother to see his steps, it was as if her mind had stopped working. From his facial expression, he looked unpredictable to Eliana.

Usually, as a person who was a businesswoman, she had the ability to predict the clients from their first expression. But, the person in front of her looked like a creature from another planet. 

Eliana gulped again, she was feeling that her throat had gone dry. He was approaching her, with that devilish aura, looking charming than his usual self….

On the other side, it was not safe to say that Li Wei was normal, besides having fun, it was also difficult for him to keep his control as he was taking every step that led him closer to Eliana, to him, her fragrance was hypnotic. 

Li Wei gulped. 

STEP

With that step, Li Wei and Eliana were standing in front of each other at a distance of less than half a meter from each other. 

Eliana was taller than the average height of the girls, she was 5'7 and Li Wei was almost 6'3 and thus, Eliana's was till Li Wei's eyes. 

Li Wei started to bend down slowly. 

Eliana looked at Li Wei who was close to her, on an impulse her eyes closed on their own, and because she couldn't see what Li Wei was trying to do.

At one point she could sense the breath of Li Wei in front of her face. 

But...wait….

Why is Eliana feeling his breath at her neck, wasn't it at her front a moment, as soon as she realized this, her eyes opened just to see that Li Wei's head was on the side of hers and he was doing something. 

After a moment, Li Wei took out something and then stood straight, distancing his body from Eliana at the same time. 

Li Wei looked at Eliana, who looked confused and dumbfounded. 

"What are you…," Eliana said as she looked at Li Wei with an irritated expression, but in reality, she was angry at herself was thinking that he was going to kiss her. If Li Wei wasn't there, she would have slapped herself. 

On seeing this, Li Wei's eyebrows formed a furrow, looking at Eliana he said, "I was taking these papers, what else?" 

As he said this, Li Wei reached towards Eliana's ear and whispered with a seductive voice, "Don't tell that you were thinking that I was going to k-,"

No sooner than Li Wei started to say this than Eliana knew that it was his idea to do this, and he did this on purpose. 

Eliana had a sarcastic smirk on her face as she interrupted Li Wei and pulling the collar of his shirt, she pulled Li Wei towards her, which took even Li Wei was surprised.

Li Wei had his eyes almost popped out when Eliana pulled him close to her. It was so close that their lips were a millimeter far. Eliana had tilted her head as she pulled Li Wei close to her, it was as if she was going to kiss him. 

But instead of going in for a kiss, she whispered in his ear, "Mr. Li, don't tell me you were thinking that I will just stay here doing nothing?" as she let go of him. 

This time, Eliana was pissed for real, first, it was in the morning and then now, he was always trying to tease her. 

As soon as Li Wei heard her, he burst into laughter. 

"Hahahaha"

It was genuine and it was full of warmth. The sound of Li Wei laughing was like music, it was the first time Eliana had heard him laughing so heartfully. It was totally a different side of Li Wei and it had caught Eliana by surprise. 

Li Wei who was unaware of what his wife was thinking, laughed from the bottom of his heart. This was funny for him, when he decided to do this tactic, he had predicted that she would be pissed but he didn't expect her to exact her revenge like this. 

It had caught Li Wei by surprise, unknowingly her pissed side was adorable for him, and the fact that she had succeeded in taking her revenge, made him happy. Looks like she had really changed. 

To be honest, he got to taste his own medicine and he now knew why she was pissed when he did this, actually, he wished that she would kiss him, but alas looks like this was not the right time, but the fact that she wasn't expressionless and wasn't ignoring her made him believe that he will surely succeed.

KNOCK

KNOCK

There was a knock on the door which made Li Wei stop laughing and within a second of a knock, Li Wei was back to his usual self, in short, he became a person who didn't know how to laugh. 

Seeing him change so quickly, Eliana thought in her mind, "Is he two-faced or what?" 

"Come in," Li Wei called out. 

Opening the door, entered Grandma Ye who had a gentle smile on her face which she always carries. 

"Good morning, Young Master, Young Madam, the breakfast is ready, please come down once you have changed," she said. 

"Good morning, Grandma Ye, and yes, we will," Li Wei said. 

On listening to this reply, Grandma Ye nodded and was going to leave when Eliana announced, "I'll come with you as well, Grandma," Eliana wanted an excuse to leave the room, and looks like the opportunity to do it has knocked on the door, it was dangerous to remain with Li Wei in a single room now. 

(Gurl….You need to spend...three months like this….)

"But Young Madam, there is no need-"

Eliana interrupted Grandma Ye and said, "It's ok Grandma Ye, I am done with changing. Beside my secretary will be on her way, so I need to receive her."

Listening to this, Grandma Ye nodded, and thus, Eliana with quick steps rushed out of the room. 

Li Wei on seeing her leaving wasn't happy, but not like he had any control over it. 

(Mhm ok...we will believe it for now....( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )

Thus, he proceeded for a shower. 

Meanwhile, Eliana took a sigh of relief as she had successfully fled from the room. 

"Is something wrong, Young Madam?" Grandma Ye who was walking in front asked. 

"Hmmm, no nothing is wrong," Eliana said, but her real answer was: 

"Everything is wrong!!!!!!!!"

(You are bluffing, everything is right, right? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

Grandma Ye nodded and she suddenly said, "Young Master seems in a happy mood from the moment you came in the house. He had never been so happy, especially since a year when the incident happened-,"

"What happened? Did something happened?" Eliana asked even though she knew what Grandma Ye was referring to. 

Only after listening to Eliana, Grandma Ye realized that she had mentioned something that she was forbidden to. 

"What was it, please tell me!" Eliana said as she tried to pressure Grandma Ye. 

Grandma Ye was flustered, she was worried that it will be a problem if Eliana got to know about it and she also knew that her Young Madam would not let this topic go and so grandma Ye decided to say it. 

"A year ago, there was an accident of a loved one of Young Master, that person was really close to his heart, but unfortunately, that person was deemed as dead in the accident, which gave Young Master a great heartache," Grandma Ye said. 

"I still remembered that night, when Young Master came to the home, he didn't utter a word, but only I knew how much he cried in his room, he fell asleep crying after a whole night. That was the first time when we had saw him cry. That night was really dreadful," Grandma Ye finished her words as they came in the hall. 

On hearing Grandma Ye's words about Li Wei, Eliana had a heartache feeling, she felt no embarrassment in terming it as guilt. Indeed it was guilt. Guilt that had added to her many guilts that she is carrying in her heart to date. 

Grandma Ye turned around, to face Eliana who was lost in her thoughts. 

"Young Madam," she said as she held Eliana's soft hands with her wrinkled ones. 

"You are a good person, and it was due to you that I was able to see the smile on Young Master's face," Grandma Ye said.
