Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

Chapter 162: You will die as a monk (2)

After Eliana went out of the room, Ethan sighed while looking towards Li Wei who was expressionless even in his sleep. 

All that happened today was had already given him four days worth of headaches. Rubbing his temples he sat on the bed. 

"I am thirsty," he said, as he looked here and there to look for water. His gaze rested on the table of the bed, that was towards Li Wei's side. 

He stood up and then walked towards the table, only to see that there was no water in the vessel. 

Rolling his eyes, he took dialed the number of the room service to ask for water. As he placed his order, his eyes rifted towards the sleeping Li Wei. 

As if he spotted something, after disconnecting the call, he bent towards Li Wei. 

Doing the business, he took actions for, Ethan was going to straighten, when he felt that his hand was pulled, and thus, he landed on something hard, like a wall. 

To be more precise, his face landed on the exposed chest of the sleeping Li Wei. 

"Ouch," he exclaimed in pain, as his nose became red. Realizing his position, Ethan became embarrassed. 

"Thank god no one is-," he was going to say, as he turned around towards the door, only to see Mu Shufen and a staff member standing there. 

..

Mu Shufen was in confusion on seeing a woman coming out of the room in which Li Wei was. But after a moment, he did not dwell on the thought more, because his priority was then was Li Wei. 

He knocked on the door twice and then slowly twisting the doorknob, he peeked inside the room.

As the bedroom was in the inner part of the room, he could only see the narrow and small passage that revealed the side of the bed, which could not prove that whether someone was in the room or not. 

And so, he decided to open the door, when from behind, he felt that someone was standing. Looking towards the back, he saw that a female staff member was standing respectfully, holding in her hands the tray with various drinks and water as well. 

'Good evening, Sir. We were asked to deliver some drinks and refreshments here," she said. 

Mu Shufen assumed that it was either Ethan or Li Wei who called for it, so he just bowed and gave the woman permission to enter the room.

Following Mu Shufen, the woman entered the room. But what they saw there was out of their thinking capacity. 

In the bed, a man was lying in his bathrobe, his face was not visible, but Mu Shufen could tell that it was Li Wei. Li Wei was holding the hand of another person, that was a man and probably Ethan.

But it was not what came to them as a shock. 

What added the awkwardness was Ethan kissing Li Wei's bare chest, near his neck, or so Mu Shufen and the female staff member thought. 

Mu Shufen gulped, this nowhere seemed to be an accident to him, he could not make out anything else, accept the fact that Ethan was kissing Li Wei's neck. 

As for the female member of the staff, she felt as if her soul had left her body. 

This was the same as what she read in the comics and webtoons, she was a huge fan of. 

She gulped hard as well, never in her dreams she would have thought that she would get to see this scene in her life. 

Two handsome men together like this with each other.isn't what they call as Yaoi?

On the other side, Mu Shufen's thoughts were also somewhat similar to these. 

'W-Was his boss..the almighty C.E.O. Li, the Younger Master Li, a g-g-gay?'

This was the only conclusion he could reach on seeing the scene in front of him.

This news was something big...no very big...no wait...more than that...something that could shake the whole country! 

'H-How?!! H-How could I not know this important thing about his boss!?' Mu Shufen thought.

He has been with him for so long, and yet he c-could not make out that his boss was-

As he was lost in his thoughts, he realized something. 

'T-Then that means...Mr. Ethan is gay as well?!' Mu Shufen's thoughts diverted to Ethan who was still in dilemma, what was happening. 

'The heir of the Song family is gay?!' 

Both the heirs of the two most potential families are interested in men?!

Last but not least Ethan, who was not aware of what the two people were thinking, gave an awkward smile. 

Trying to change the topic, he proceeded towards the female staff and taking a bottle of water he said, "Thank you. You can take your leave now," he said to the staff. 

The woman nodded and in her heart bearing misunderstanding and fantasies, she left the room. 

Seeing her leave, Ethan sighed in relief, but the relief on his face vanished when his eyes landed upon Mu Shufen who was still standing there with a shocked face, with a glimpse of confusion. 

"Mr. Mu? Are you ok?" Ethan asked, cluelessly. 

Mu Shufen was brought back to reality from the words of Ethan. 

He looked at him with shock before starting his talk, "M-Mr Ethan, w-when did this happen?" 

"Huh? Happened what?" Ethan asked. 

"You liking Young Master Li," Mu Shufen said. 

Ethan tilted his head, and with confusion, he looked at the amazed secretary. 

After standing still and clueless for ten minutes straight, Ethan got what Mu Shufen was referring to. 

Realizing what was Mu Shufen's reference, he said, with a flustered expression, "T-This is a misunderstanding. I am not interested in men neither is Mr. Li, from what I know." 

"But then earlier-"

Ethan cursed Eliana in his heart, this was giving him a headache. 

How did he got pulled into this?! 

Eliana~!!

Massaging his temples, he started to explain the incident, what happened, and how he landed on Li Wei's chest. 

Listening to how this happened, Mu Shufen bowed to Ethan and said with an apologetic expression, "I am very sorry Mr. Song. It was my carelessness that I assumed things without understanding the situation."

"It's ok, Secretary Mu," said Ethan. 

"But how did Young Master ended up here?" Mu Shufen asked. 

"He was probably drugged by someone. It was an aphrodisiac. Luckily I found him on my way to the washroom," Ethan said with changing the things a little, as he sighed in his heart.

"H-He was drugged? But how?" Mu Shufen asked as he panicked. 

"We do not know. As soon as I met him, he collapsed and so I brought him here, and he had already been given the antidote, so there is no need to worry," Ethan notified. 

"Thank you very much, Mr. Ethan, for helping our C.E.O.," Mu Shufen said with a bow. 

"It's ok," Ethan said. 

'Guess I will take this thanks in place of Eliana' he thought. 

"Now then, I will take my leave," said Ethan as he got up from his seat, adjusting his suit, all ready to go out. 

Mu Shufen bowed and he walked to see Ethan him off. 

Getting out of the banquet hall, Ethan was taking a step out of the exit, when someone in casual clothing appeared before her. 

"What the F**k! Do you want to kill me?!" Ethan said in English, to Eliana who was standing in front of him. 

"Maybe, who knows?" Eliana said in English with a shrug. 

Ethan rolled his eyes, changing the topic he said, "Why are you still here?"

"Why I can't be? I was just worried about you," Eliana said with a smirk, as she gave Ethan a pat on his head. 

Slapping her hand, he said, "I am not a kid, what do you think me as?" 

"A kid," Eliana said as she walked towards the car. 

To this, Ethan looked at Eliana with a poker face, before following her to the car. 

In the car, Eliana asked, "So was everything settled?" 

Hearing this, Ethan with an awkward smile said, "Y-Yes, it was settled pretty easily."

'It is safer not to tell her about the incident' Ethan thought as he did not speak to Eliana about that incident. 

Eliana nodded. 

"But wait, he must have seen your face right?" Ethan said as he turned towards Eliana with a serious face. 

"He did, probably," said Eliana with her eyes on the window.

"So what will you do?" Ethan asked.

"He won't remember it anyway," Eliana said without giving it a second thought.

"What? How? That is impossible," said Ethan with a curious face. 

Eliana's lips curled into a smile or rather a smirk, she said, "Eprosol Anelin, it will make his memories of this night blurry, so he won't be able to remember my face. Aldacifine was the Antidote of the aphrodisiac. Eprosol, was a precaution to take if he by chance saw my face."

Ethan looked at Eliana with a surprised expression, and then with a smirk, he said, "You really are a devil."

Eliana did not say anything, rather she turned her head towards the car window. 

Ethan looked at Eliana, his smile disappeared as soon as Eliana's face turned. 

"Sorry Ely" he whispered, as Ethan secretly took out a packet from his pocket and clenched it tightly, his expression apologetic
