Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

Chapter 197: I am your boss' husband



Chapter 197: I am your boss' husband

"I am sorry if I sound selfish but please promise this lady, that you two will remain happy like this. From the day you came, you have become Young Master's reason to smile, I hope you remain with him until the end."

Eliana was dumbfounded at Grandma Ye's words and she couldn't seem to answer it, nor she had the courage to make a false promise to the granny standing in front of her. What grandma Ye was asking was not possible, after all the contract will end in three months, and after that, she and he will part ways. 

With Grandma Ye looking at her with hopeful eyes, she must have not had the idea of what was going on in Eliana's mind. Now, Eliana's only hope was for someone to interrupt the conversation so that she might be saved from giving her false hope. 

Hope is indeed a bright thing, but false hope is the most vicious thing in the world. 

We all know how much the word 'hope' is important for us, having hope gives you the courage to think that things would get better with time despite the odds being not in your favor.

Hope is the only thing that keeps you moving forward, it gives you the strength and ability to bounce back from whatever obstacle you are going through.

Someone said, "If there's no hope, there is no reason. If there is no reason, there is no direction, if there is no direction, there is no peace. If there is no peace, there is no life.

Also in life what we want is peace right? To live a peaceful life, without any difficulties and anything to worry about, isn't it what all the people in the world want?

For a mother, she lives by the hope that her children will grow up and lead a more happy and easy life than she did. A father works hard, hoping that the salary he will earn will help his family to live happily. A job seeker hopes that he can get a job of his choice so that he can be independent. Don't we get up every day from our sleep, hoping for something or the other from our lives? 

Thus, hope, irrespective of rich or poor, is an important factor in every person's life. On the contrary, false hope is completely opposite to it. 

False hope is more dangerous than tears, and more painful than goodbyes because it is capable of destroying a person completely, and can turn his or her heart upside or down. It can change a cheerful person to a dull person in no time. 

But it isn't safe to say that there is a very thin line between 'hope' and 'false hope'. A line that makes it completely different from the other.

As for Eliana, she knew the aftermath of giving false hope, she knew how much it pains when you found out that the hope that had become your reason to live, was something that was false, all a delusion, a hollow dream. 

"Young Madam please promise me," Eliana was brought out from her thoughts as soon as Grandma Ye said these words. 

"I-"

"Young Madam, someone with the name Miss Mia is here to see you," a servant entered the hall, interrupting Eliana's conversation. 

"Oh, Mia is here, call her in," Eliana ordered. 

"That must be your secretary right?" Grandma Ye asked. To the response, Eliana nodded.

"Oh my! Look at the time, Madam can talk with your secretary, I will go take a look at the preparations of breakfast," Grandma Ye said as she bowed and rushed towards the kitchen. 

Eliana sighed in relief. 

Phew~

Eliana took a seat on the nearest sofa she found, waiting for Mia to come. 

Fortunately, Eliana didn't have to wait for a long time, as after a few moments the servant entered the hall, following him was Eliana's secretary Mia. 

Mia was wearing a tie-collar peach blouse and a black pencil skirt, her hair was neatly tied into a back pony, with basic heels, it completed her formal outfit for the day. 

She was led straight to the direction where Eliana was found sitting. The servant took his leave after giving Mia her destination. 

Mia was also dumbfounded on seeing the Mansion, but she tried to keep her feelings in and greeted Eliana with her business smile. 

"Good morning, Ma'am," Mia said. 

Eliana who was found lost in thought was startled by Mia's greeting, she nodded and gave Mia a smile as a response. 

Before the conversation between Eliana and Mia could progress any further, there was a sound of someone coming down from the stairs. 

Eliana turned towards the stairs, to take a sneak, although she knew that it was Li Wei. 

She was right, it was Li Wei who was coming down the stairs. 

He was wearing a solid black suit, inside which was a black west and lastly a white silk shirt, the black necktie added a formal yet cold look to it. His hair was neatly set, opposite of what it was this morning. 

He was coming down and his eyes first fell on Eliana who turned her head straight as soon as their eyes met and then at Mia. 

He came down with an expressionless face. 

Mia, who was starstruck at Li Wei's appearance, didn't forget to greet him. 

"Good morning, C.E.O. Li," Mia said bowing. 

Li Wei, with his long time, took no time to come beside Eliana. 

He sneakingly slipped his hand on her waist, pulling her towards him lightly, he said, "Good morning, Secretary Mia. And it's not C.E.O. Li, it is Sir. As your ma'am's husband, I think it's legit for you to address me as Sir, right?"

As soon as Eliana felt Li Wei's hand on her waist, she flinched, but alas, Li Wei had pulled her towards him. 

Eliana rolled her eyes, this was irritating, but she didn't want to cause a nuisance yet again for the third time on the same day. As she thought this, an irritating smug was on her face. 

"Y-Yes, Sir. I will keep that in mind," Mia said as her eyes popped out of their places, the moment she saw Li Wei pulling Eliana towards him with his hand on her waist. 

This was nothing like Eliana, the Eliana, Mia knew would have twisted that hand that had tried to touch her. Wait, ahhhh, I got it!

She is Mrs. Li now and the person touching her is her hubby, even though only in contract, but still. 

As this thought came to Mia's mind, her expression changed to a usual and approving face. 

Seeing her secretary's approval, Eliana had her eyebrow twitching. 

"You must have not had breakfast, Secretary Mia. We were just going to have it, come and join us," Li Wei said with a slight smile on her face. 

"Its o-"

Before Mia could protest, a servant interrupted and announced the arrival of Mu Shufen. 

After some moments, Mu Shufen arrived. 

"Good morning, Sir. Good morning Ma'am," Mu Shufen greeted with a bow, and after that both the secretaries also exchanged light greetings. 

"Secretary Mu is here as well, let's go for breakfast then," Li Wei said as he decided to loosen his hold on Eliana, which Eliana took as the opportunity to distance herself from him.

At the breakfast table, Grandma Ye made her introduction to Mia, after which all the four of them sat at the dining table. 

Li Wei and Eliana sat at their previous seats as last night while Mu Shufen and Mia also sat opposite their own bosses. 

The breakfast went peacefully, with Li Wei doing his business by filling Eliana's plates with food up to the brim at intervals and both the secretaries looking at it tried hardest to not interrupt the time between their bosses. 

After everyone was finished with their breakfast, the secretaries left the dining area. 

When only Li Wei and Eliana, Li Wei kept in front of Eliana, a file. It was the same file that Li Wei took out the moment when he had teased Eliana. 

Eliana looked at Li Wei as he kept the file in front of her. 

"These are the papers for transferring the ownership to you. Congratulations, Mrs. Li. You are now the owner of the first hospital," Li Wei said with a smile. 

On listening to Li Wei, Eliana was going to take the file, when Li Wei's hand shifted the file towards himself. 

Eliana looked at Li Wei's deadly eyes, as he did this, and then with a smile on his face, he turned his face towards the side, as his cheek was towards Eliana. 

Tapping on his cheek, he looked at Eliana with a businessman smile. 

It didn't take time for Eliana to realize what Li Wei was asking for. 

Honestly, Eliana had the urge to slap that cheek instead of doing what he was asking for. 

"Ugh!" Eliana whined as she looked at Li Wei who was sitting closing his eyes, with his cheek towards Eliana.
