Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

Chapter 218: Is it ok?

After some time, all the family members moved away from the accident site. The site was so much destroyed, that they can't even get themselves to stand there anymore.

As they came towards the place where all their cars were parked, and surprisingly Li Wei was still standing there in the same position as earlier. Seeing him like this, Liu Roulan who still had tears flowing from her eyes, went to Li Wei.

"Wei," she said, before Madam Li held her son in her arms. Rubbing her back, she said no word, as if it was a silent conversation between them.

Liu Roulan knew Li Wei's likeness towards Wang Yu Yan. She could not even imagine what Li Wei would be feeling right now.

Li Wei showed no movement, he didn't even hug her back. But Madam Li said nothing. Breaking the hug, she took Li Wei's ice-cold hands into hers, rubbing them so as to make them warm.

This was when a police officer advanced towards them, from his uniform, he looked like a senior officer. Bowing, he said, "My condolences on your loss." Everyone's attention drifted towards them, and all the people greeted them with a bow. Feng Jing and Feng Ji followed the officer as well.

"This seems like a hit and run case. The car is totally destroyed, it seems the car crashed into the tree, and the tree was no strong, that led to the breaking up of the tree into two, unfortunately, the broken branch fell on the car. The truck carried a flammable substance with it, and the driver crashed the truck into the car, and a fire was ignited, which resulted in a blast. The driver is found unconscious at a certain distance from the site, it looks like he was trying to escape and he is also heavily drunk. The body of the victim hasn't been found anywhere near the site, and looking at the intensity of the blast, it is impossible for the victim's body to be retained. We will take actions against the truck driver responsible for this."

As soon as the police officer finished his words, a chuckle was heard from behind, which surprised everyone. It was from Li Wei. He bought his face up, and on his eyes looked soulless, as if there was no hope in them. His face had become pale, and lost its brightness and glow. It was the first time, seeing Li Wei like this.

Everyone was terrified by the situation he looked in.

"Idiots," Li Wei mumbled before he got into his car and started it.

The police officer and the others were dumbfounded at this. "Where are you going, Wei? Stop!" Liu Roulan said with a raised voice, as she was going to follow him, but she was stopped by Li Qiang who held her hand. As Liu Roulan looked back, Li Qiang shook his head and said, "Let him be. He needs some time alone."

Liu Roulan nodded.

...

[PRESENT]

"After this, he handled those people by himself, how he did, I think Li Wei knows the best. The media still has no idea what happened, they still count Su Yu Yan as a person who went missing out of sudden," Feng Jing said the last words as he took the last sip of his coffee.

Elaina didn't have any expression on her face, and like always Feng Jing couldn't understand what was going on in Elaina's mind. And he wasn't the only one, Elaina herself had no clue what was going on in her mind. It seemed that her thoughts were a mess. A deep sigh was heard from Feng Jing.

Keeping a hand on Elaina's hand that was on the table, which made Elaina look at Feng Jing, he said, "I think it's time. You should tell him the truth. The more you will try to keep it, the more your relationship will be threatened. You and Li Wei need each other, believe me. Don't distance yourself so much, that a time comes when he will not around you anymore."

Elaina had no reaction.

Feng continued, "I don't know what happened between you two, but there will be no harm if you are the one to approach him first," and he patted her hand, with his, as he took his hand back.

"I understand, brother. It's late, I will be on my way," said Elaina as she got up from her seat and left the cafe. Seeing her disappearing back, Feng Jing sighed. His sister and his friend both are stubborn. May God bless them with some emotional intelligence.

Elaina reached her car and sat there still. "Will it be alright if I let myself come close to you?" she mumbled, as she started the car and then drove to Li Wei's mansion.

"He must be home till now," Elaina mumbled as she reached the mansion. Coming out of the car, she went inside the mansion. Old Ye greeted her as soon as she entered the mansion.

"Is Li Wei home?" Elaina asked as she sat on the sofa, and drank water, the was kept on the table.

"No ma'am, Young Master is not home. He is not in China. Secretary Mu stopped by, and told that Young Master will be on a trip to Russia for a week, it seems there is an emergency and so he didn't get time to inform you," Old Ye said.

Elaina was taken aback by this. But after thinking for some time, she nodded and then said, "Grandma Ye, I won't be eating dinner today. Seems like I have an upset stomach today. I'll be resting in my room."

Grandma Ye nodded, and then said, "Please call for me, if something is wrong," Elaina nodded and she went upstairs to her room.

As she entered the room, she was hit by Li Wei's scent. The minty scent of Li Wei was in the room. Suddenly a feeling of being left out crept into her heart. Seems like today's conversation between her and Li Wei had left a big impact on Li Wei.

Sitting on the sofa, Elaina gazed at the night scenery from the window in the room. Elaina looked in deep thought.

"Is it ok for me to let myself be swayed?

Is it ok for me to let go of my insecurities?

Is it ok for me to let my guard down?

Is it ok...if I let myself be loved?"

The insecure feeling was lingering in Elaina's mind.

After almost thirty minutes of staring at the scenery, and deep in her thoughts, she took out her phone, and then connected the call to Mia. "Get me some work. Email the documents that are left to be verified by me," she said, after which Elaina disconnected her call.

"I need to do something, or else, I will go crazy," She mumbled as Elaina went to the bathroom to change into her sleepwear. After taking a hot shower and changing her clothes, she sat inside the blanket and then opening her laptop, Elaina started her work.

For at least three hours, the sound of typing on the keyboard of the laptop was heard in the room.

As someone who is in charge of GlobalMed, she has worked and she could not overlook, also at a time like this, nothing is better than working which, according to Elaina, will help her distracted from the thoughts in her mind.

Finally, after three hours of constant staring at the laptop screen, Elaina felt that she was thirsty, and thus, she decided to fetch some water. Coming to the kitchen, she was going to pour water when she spotted something.

A bottle of her favorite brand of red wine came into her sight, which let Elaina drop the idea of drinking water. Clearing her throat, she took the bottle of water and a glass with her. Running upstairs, her mood seems to have gotten better with getting her favorite wine. 

Coming to her room, she sat on the sofa and poured a glass of red wine, and took a sip of it. As the wine entered the mouth, it was as if her tastebuds were dancing in joy. The worries and the thoughts that she had, seem to have been thrown into the trash bin with every sip.

Soon, Elaina poured another glass. Third glass...Fourth glass.....Fifth glass.....Sixth glass....Seventh glass...Eighth glass.....Wait!

Hold on Elaina! How much will you drink-!

It was of no use of stopping her because it was already late. Slowly and slowly the whole bottle had been emptied by Elaina.

The wine that Elaina liked was strong, but because she had a high tolerance of alcohol, she could finish half a bottle of wine, without getting drunk, but now, she had taken in a whole bottle of wine, and what happens to a normal human after consuming alcohol was happening with her.

Her head felt light, and her mood uplifted.

But wait! Elaina! Eliana! Elaina! What are you doing?

Elaina reached for her phone, her blushed cheeks were glorified by a sweet smile as she made a call. Soon the call was connected, and Elaina spoke in her clumsy and drunken voice, she was quite enthusiastic, "HELLO HUBBY!"

And till now you all have guessed who she called.
