Chapter 191: You see, you are in a lion's den!
"I am sure that you might have figured out that she looks like Yu Yan."
Listening to this, Grandma Ye eagerly waited for the next words of Li Wei.
"She is Yu Yan or not, we haven't confirmed yet. But my heart says that she is Yu Yan," Li Wei revealed shocking news to Grandma Ye.
Grandma Ye was dumbfounded for a long while, but recovering from the shock, she said, "T-Then you mean to say that, Miss Yu Yan is alive?"
Li Wei nodded.
At this, Grandma Ye gasped and she said, "T-Then I should inform Madam Li, right? She will be very happy to-"
"Don't do it yet. I still need to confirm that is she Yu Yan or not. So I would like you to not mention this to anyone in the family, and also to not speak of this matter in front of Eliana because it can make her uncomfortable, and the fact that I am married and Eliana is my wife shouldn't go out of this mansion, not even to my family. I hope you help in this, because then only I can find if she is Yu Yan or not."
Hearing these words from Li Wei, Grandma Ye was quiet. It was these few times that this person in front of her would ask a favor from her. He was always cold and someone who won't take help from anyone else.
Grandma Ye was loyal to Madam Li, but she also cared for Li Wei a lot, she had always wanted him to be happy and so, after taking sometime she said, "Then I shall follow what you want, Young Master."
Listening to this, Li Wei's expression turned gentle and he said, "Thank you, Grandma Ye."
"No need to thank me, Young Master. It is my duty, then I will take my leave," Grandma Ye said as she bowed and made her way towards the door.
Seeing the disappearing back, Li Wei said nothing. After Grandma Ye left, he stood up from his seat and went towards the window that was adjacent to his desk. Looking out of the window, Li Wei's expression had turned sour.
Earlier what he said, most of it was a lie. When he said he didn't know if Eliana was Yu Yan, he lied, of course, he knew that she was his Yu Yan. There is no way he would have put the contract in front of her if he wasn't sure that she is Yu Yan.
He lied because he was sure that Grandma Ye would tell his family that he had married, and if he would have told her she was Yu Yan, there is no way his family would just sit back. From his family, the news would have reached the Feng family and the Wen family which would be a great problem.
The reason why Li Wei didn't want others to know it was because he first wanted to know the whole story from Yu Yan himself, why she didn't return to them if she was alive, why she remained hidden for a year, and before that he had to make Eliana confess that she is Yu Yan, for that he needed to take things slow.
He was sure that three months will be enough for it and so he will have to keep this news hidden. There must be some reason for Yu Yan to not come back for a year and this reason was, according to Li Wei connected to the accident one year ago.
He will find this very reason!
[Present]
At the dinner table, Li Wei and Eliana started to eat. Eliana took a bite of one of the main dishes. As she started to eat it, the flavors of the food hit her.
'This is really delicious,' Eliana said in her mind as she savored the taste of the food.
Seeing he enjoy the food, Li Wei and Grandma Ye felt pleased. A pleasant smile formed on Li Wei's face without him even noticing it, grandma Ye who noticed it felt her heart relaxed.
RING RING
Suddenly a phone started ringing, and it was Eliana's.
Eliana who was still savoring the taste from her first bite was a little startled on hearing her phone ring. Keeping her chopsticks down, she looked at the id of the call, it was Ethan.
Eliana didn't hesitate as she declined the call. But even after silencing the phone, it kept vibrating because Ethan wouldn't quit calling her.
"Take it," Li Wei said as he saw Eliana struggling with the call.
"No, it's ok. It's my brother, I will talk to him later," Eliana said.
zzzzzzzzzzzzz
The phone vibrated again, this time Grandma Ye said, "Take it, Young Madam. You will you're your brother worried if you hold his call for long."
"Grandma Ye is right, take it," Li Wei said, as he insisted.
Eliana nodded, "I am sorry for the interruption, I will be right back," she said as she took her phone and got up from her seat, and went to a quiet place.
Stopping after a minute, she looked left and then right and then taking the call, she said, "What is it, Ethan? It better be important," her voice was threatening.
On the other side, Ethan sighed on hearing Eliana's voice from the other side of the phone, "Thank god, you are ok," he mumbled followed by another sigh.
Eliana who heard his words, raised her voice and with a cold voice, she said, "What do you mean? Why won't I be ok?"
Ethan was startled by the sudden question Eliana, he said, "Uhm, you see, you are in a lion's den. Of course, I will be worried about you."
Eliana was dumbfounded by Ethan's answer, with her eyebrow twitching, she said with an irritating voice, "Ethan, I am not sure about you, but I will make sure to deep fry you like a chicken. Do you understand?"
"Cough, now, now! Don't be angry," Ethan said as he broke into a cold sweat after hearing Eliana's threat.
"What else? Did you called me for this?" Eliana asked with a raised eyebrow.
"For this and also to ask, did he asked you about you being Yu-,"
Ethan was interrupted by Eliana who said, "Don't worry. He won't be getting the confession about me being Wang Yu Yan from me."
"If you say so," Ethan mumbled.
"Hmm? What did you say?" Eliana asked.
"Uhh, nothing. I was saying, that's my sister. Well then, I will be keeping the call. Be careful," Ethan said as she disconnected the call.
"What is wrong with him today," Eliana mumbled as she looked at her phone with confused eyes, and then shaking her head, she turned around to go back to the dining table.
As she returned to the dining table, she said, "I am sorry for that call. My brother was just too worried about me."
"It's ok," Grandma Ye said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Li Wei had the urge to punch Ethan. Just what did he mean by being worried about Eliana?
Eliana gave a slight and smile as she took her seat, just when she was going to resume eating, she noticed something, that almost made her eyeballs popped out.
In front of her, there was a pile of food in her bowl and plate. It was double the amount of food that was served at first.
"W-What-," she said in astonishment as she looked towards Grandma Ye who chuckled and with her eyes gestured towards Li Wei, who was eating with an expressionless face as if he was unaware of what happened around him.
Eliana stared at Li Wei who was eating elegantly.
He served her food worth of her all meals in a single day! Just how the hell was she supposed to finish it?!
Li Wei noticed Eliana staring at him, he said with an expressionless face, "You should eat more, you are too skinny. Also I must tell you that Grandma Ye doesn't like people who leave leftovers," after saying this Li Wei began to resume eating.
Eliana looked at Grandma Ye, who was dragged into this crime by Li Wei. She had no choice but to agree, so she said, "Indeed, Young Madam you shouldn't leave leftovers."
Eliana looked in disbelief towards Li Wei.
How the hell can she eat all this?
