Chapter 226: Yes, I love him. I am sure. He is the one, I am in love with

SMOOCH~

With a little peck, Li Wei parted his lip. It was not even a kiss, it was as if just for a moment their lips touch each others'. Though, Elaina's reaction was worth seeing.

Li Wei moved his head a little back, just to see Elaina's expression. Her eyes were bulging out of shock, but her cheeks were blushing, her lips were quivering, all in one, she looked funny, and Li Wei couldn't stop himself from laughing, and without any further due, it didn't take long for Li Wei to burst into laughter.

"Pfft...hahaha..." His laughter brought Elaina back to reality. Seeing him laughing like this, she sighed.

As soon as Li Wei heard her sigh, he stopped laughing and returned back to his normal self, and then said, "So, how did you feel after meeting the woman?"

Elaina heard his words, and then said, "Apologetic."

Li Wei raised his eyebrow at this, he didn't expect that answer from Elaina, at least not now.

"I-I am sorry for assuming things," Elaina said, as she tried to avoid the Li Wei's gaze by looking somewhere else.

Li Wei kept quiet for a moment, and then said, "Do you really feel apologetic?"

"Yes, I do feel sorry," Elaina answered.

"So, how are you planning to make it up to me?" Li Wei asked.

Elaina kept quiet, she didn't answer him. She could feel her cheeks burning, her heartbeat increased, and she could feel her hands sweating. The words that Oriel told her kept ringing in her mind.

'He loves you too much. And from what I can sense, you have feelings for him as well, don't take too long, who knows what the destiny has for you both ahead. You should hold on to him tightly, I have full faith in my friend. He would never hurt you.'

Elaina took a deep breath and then bit her lip.

On seeing her response, Li Wei sighed and was going to brush the topic off, when something happened. As he was going to say something, Elaina pulled his necktie, thus, bringing his face and especially the lips closer to hers, and then smashed her lips into his.

Li Wei was dumbfounded at this, he was so in shock that he didn't have the time to take action, thus, Elaina took the lead. Eliana who was nervous started the kiss slowly. Playing with his upper lip and then slowly giving attention to his lower lip, Eliana kept kissing slowly and gently.

Li Wei who was dumbfounded, returned to reality, seeing Elaina playing with his lips, he let her do what she was doing. Li Wei could feel Eliana's nervousness, not that he was normal as well.

Right now, both of their heartbeats were increasing and decreasing like a roller coaster. Both felt butterflies in their stomach. The kiss was free from any lust, it was pure and gentle.

Finally, Elaina parted their lips. Both were left gasping for air, as they parted, their warm breath when met with the cold atmosphere outside, turned into light fog.

Elaina looked into the eyes of Li Wei, and said, "I am sorry for everything. I am sorry for leaving you behind one year ago, I am sorry for not telling you that I am Wang Yu Yan. I am sorry for assuming things, I-"

This sudden confession was too much for Li Wei to handle. Every word that Elaina said, was like a sweet gust of wind that bought relief to Li Wei's heart. This felt like a dream to him. He was at one point happy, but at another part of his mind, he felt insecure. He was not sure whether this was real or was this a dream. Would she disappear again after saying all this, as it happened in his dreams?

Will she leave again? Or will this disappear if he opened his eyes? This anxiousness led Li Wei to cut Elaina in the middle of her words and then kissing her. He wanted to make sure, that this was not a dream. He wanted to make sure that this is real.

These sudden kisses were too much Elaina, but she was not annoyed right now, and so, she slipped her hands at the back of his neck and putting them around his neck, she let him do what he was doing.

Li Wei who had just put his lips on Elaina's, this action of Elaina, was like a green light to him. Thus he pulled her closer to him like he didn't want to keep any kind of distance between them, slipping his hands to her waist.

Sucking her upper lip and then moving to the lower lip, Elaina was doing the same as well. Devouring her lips slowly, Li Wei slowly brought his tongue into action. Gently, he touched the tip of her tongue with his, their lips were still pressed to each other. The next move was made by Elaina when she intertwined his tongue with hers. Li Wei who felt it, moved his hand from her waist to the back to her neck, as if bring her closer to him.

Elaina did the same with her arms that were around his neck. This feeling, it looked like they both had longed for, they both liked the sensations that the connection of their lips was giving them. No one wanted to back away first, afraid that this moment would disappear. Elaina felt that she was going through a roller coaster, the butterflies in her stomach won't stay still.

The excitement was too much for her to handle. But, it was like, she didn't want to stop. Indeed, his kiss was something she longed for, it is true that she missed him in that one year when they weren't close. Yes, she loved his touch, the gentle touch of his lips on hers, the gentleness that he could only show to her, the gentleness that was poison to Elaina, the gentleness that she could spend her life with, and the gentleness that made her fall in love with him.

'Yes, I love him. I am sure. He is the one, I am in love with.'

Elaina had realized it. She was sorry that she took so long to realize. No, she had realized it a long time back, but this realization was hidden and was covered by her fears, past memories, and insecurities in her heart. She was out of breath now, but she could not wait to tell him this.

Only after Li Wei felt that Elaina was out of breath, he parted from her lips. They were both left gasping again, Elaina's lips were somewhat swollen, and her lipstick had smudged, and her cheeks had turned redder than they were. The moonlight that fell on her face, her porcelain skin, made her more beautiful. It felt unreal to Li Wei.

Bringing his hand to her face, Li Wei caressed her cheek and slowly cleaned that smudged lipstick on her lower chin.

"I-"

"Shhh, no need to stay anything. Just stay like this for now," Li Wei said, as he put his finger on her lips, to stop her from saying anything. He was afraid that she would something that will break this beautiful moment into a dream, a dream from which he would have to wake up.

He pulled Elaina close, and then hugged her tightly, resting his head on the crook of her neck, he felt relieved. Even if this was a dream, he didn't want this to end. He could spend his whole life in this dream.

Elaina smiled, she didn't say anything and let him stay like this. His warm breath on her neck felt ticklish, but Elaina didn't mind it. Closing her eyes, she stayed like that.

After some moments, she felt something.

"L-Li Wei, what are you-"

Elaina could not speak further, as she felt Li Wei's lips on her neck. Li Wei was kissing her neck. Elaina felt waves of electricity whenever Li Wei's lips meet her skin, she could help but clutch his coat tightly.

"Mmmm," the sudden sound of Eliana's beautiful voice, acted as the fuel in the fire. But before Li Wei could do anything...

KATCHA

"C.E.O. Song!"

"C.E.O. Li!"

The door of the balcony opened suddenly, and from there, Mia and Mu Shufen entered the balcony one by one, and seeing the scene in the balcony they swallowed the rest of their words.

Elaina: "...."

Li Wei: "....."

Elaina and Li Wei were dumbfounded, after a moment, like two same poles of magnets repel as they are bought close, Elaina was the one to push Li Wei, Li Wei got away from her, as he came to reality.

Elaina turned her face towards the balcony because she was too embarrassed to show them her face. Li Wei stood in front of her as if shielding her, and turned to face both the secretaries.

Mia and Mu Shufen were beyond shocked. They couldn't dare to say anything.

Li Wei on the other side, looked at both of them like he could kill both of them, there at the moment. His aura had become cold, completely opposite to what it was a moment ago. His eyebrows had the frown, and his expression alone was enough to tell them, that they had done something terrible.

Both the secretaries gulped.

"What is it?" Li Wei asked with his normal voice, but both the secretaries could see the vein in his forehead popping. Mu Shufen was too frightened to say anything, it was Mia who said, "Mr. Erik is looking for you both."

Li Wei nodded and then said, "I am coming."

"I-I will wait for you outside," Mu Shufen said as he fled away from the scene. "I will leave first," Li Wei said slowly, to which Elaina nodded. 

Fixing himself, he was going to go, when Eliana held his sleeve from the back, which made him stop. Moving backward, Li Wei stopped beside Eliana, where he could see her face. 

Handing him his handkerchief that Li Wei had given to Elaina earlier, she gestured towards his lips and then towards her lipstick. Elaina was too embarrassed to say anything.

It took some time for Li Wei to understand what Elaina meant. Elaina shook her head, and then taking the handkerchief back, she wiped her lipstick that was on Li Wei's lips, with the handkerchief.

Only after showing the lipstick spot on the handkerchief, Li Wei understood what she meant. She wanted to say- 'Wipe my lipstick that is on your lips.'

Elaina handed him the handkerchief, taking it, Li Wei whispered, "I had no problem on showing it to everyone, but thank you, wife."

As Elaina heard his words, Eliana's cheeks flared up and she looked at Li Wei as if throwing death glares at him. Chuckling, Li Wei walked away while wiping his lips again.

When he came across Mia, Mia bowed to which Li Wei nodded and then said, "Help your ma'am. Tell her I will meet her at the car parking after the party ends."

Mia nodded, after which Li Wei left the scene. Mia walked towards Elaina to help her.
