Chapter 183: He and she will be married!
Elaina was so in a daze that she forgot they had reached the restaurant. She shook her head lightly and smiled bitterly. She was caught up in old memories, once again. She turned towards Alex, who was in turn looking at her worriedly.
She smiled, "Thanks for the ride, I'll take my leave." saying this, she opened the car door and got out.
Alex also got out of the car and walked towards her. He looked at her fair face, shining under the sunlight, and felt relieved. Perhaps, returning to China was not a bad decision. He grinned slightly, then teased her, "Now that you've returned, you forgot old friends and started making new, haa?"
Elaina gulped, she faked a smile. She knew, to get through this situation, she had to play cute. Ugh! She really didn't want to do any of this, but oh god!
Thus, biting her lower lip a little, she slightly pouted. "Who is forgetting old friends?" saying, she smiled happily.
Alex shook his head, this baby sis of his had many tricks up her sleeves. He waved at her and asked her to leave.
Gaining his approval, Elaina immediately fled out. Phew!!
------
Entering the restaurant, she was immediately greeted by Mu Shufen. "Hello, Miss Elaina, follow me please," he said politely.
Elaina nodded and followed after him.
There he was, she sighed as she noticed Li Wei, sitting leisurely by the window. Wearing an all-black suit, he looked like a noble god. She unconsciously grabbed the hem of her jacket and walked towards him.
"Hello, Mr. Li," she politely greeted and sat down. Li Wei nodded at her. He then smirked slightly and said, "Hi, Ms. Wang,"
Elaina pursed her lips and glared at him. Li Wei was in turn, smiling slightly.
She said, "I am sorry, Mr. Li. But I am Eliana, please call me Miss Eliana."
Li Wei did not say anything, neither he denied nor accepted, and instead handed her the menu gently, "Order," he said. Elaina looked confusedly at him, "I think we should get back to business." she said coldly.
Li Wei chuckled. "I still have not eaten lunch. I want to have it with you," he said playfully.
Elaina faked a smile, "Fine!"
She was going to order, when Li Wei, suddenly, grabbed the menu from her and said, "I'll order for both of us."
Li Wei started to take the name of the dishes to be ordered. Elaina was shocked.
Her hands curled up into fists.
All the dishes were to her liking, and the ones she frequently ate. Soybean Milk, wontons, steamed buns stuffed with meat, pancakes, and wheat noodles.
She remembered the time, when she frequently ate pancakes for breakfast, Li Wei giving her and the pancakes a disdainful look. He would criticize her for eating such a common and cheap breakfast. They would start bantering about food.
Elaina suddenly felt suffocation rising in her chest. She lowered her head and took a breath at her,
Li Wei noticed every reaction of her. She looked quite suffocated and melancholic. He was deliberately trying to bring up old things, to see if she had forgotten him.
She didn't forget, Li Wei felt a bloom in his heart. Slowly and slowly, he would make her, his old Yu Yan.
"Is everything to your liking, Ms. Wang?" he asked.
Eliana sighed, she said with an irritated expression, "Miss Eliana, Mr. Li. I think I have told you-"
"The food is getting cold, lets start," Li Wei said as he interrupted Eliana in between.
Listening to him, Eliana smirked, he was trying to piss her off, huh? But she didn't want to waste her time in this and so Elaina reluctantly turned her head up to him and nodded.
The lunch was finished in silence, with Elaina in a daze and Li Wei staring at her.
After the food, Elaina asked him to bring up the contract, "I hope Mr. Li is full now. Can we talk about the contract, then?"
Li Wei smiled gently, feeling ecstatic, "Sure."
The atmosphere in the cuisine room went for a drastic change. The friendly and warm aura of Li Wei and the suffocation and melancholic feeling in Eliana was nowhere to be seen.
In short, they both had switched to the business mode.
It was quite a surprise for Li Wei to see his Wang Yu Yan in a completely different form, or he still can't get used to Eliana, rather than Wang Yu Yan.
Seeing Li Wei staring at her, Eliana cleared the throat and took the chance to speak first, "As Mr. Li must have got the contract from my lawyer, I think you would have read all the conditions well and must have had no problems with it, but if you have, we better discuss it here, today."
On Li Wei's expressionless face a smirk had formed, he said, "I don't have any problems with the conditions, but in turn, I would also like to add up a small condition from my side. I think I have that right, don't I, Miss Wang?"
Eliana rolled her eyes at Li Wei, she was feeling kind of uneasy when Li Wei said he wanted to add up another condition from his side, but taking a deep breath, she said, "Let's hear your condition then, Mr. Li."
"While they are bounded by this contract, both Party A and Party B will play the role of a wife and husband. If anyone of them is found guilty of having affairs with any third party, the other party can apply for divorce straight away. If this happens the divorce can't be denied by any of the parties," Li Wei spoke and narrated the word to word condition of the contract.
Eliana was somewhat surprised at this, 'Don't tell me this man has learned that whole contract.'
She gulped at this.
"I want to change this condition because it seems offending both our integrity," Li Wei said as he crossed his legs and brought forward his hand towards the direction of Mu Shufen.
Mu Shufen nodded and passed him and Eliana the contract.
Not seeming to understand what Li Wei meant, Eliana accepted the contract and skipped directly to the second condition that Li Wei narrated.
Reading it, her eyebrows started to crease, but before she could comment or voice her opinion, Li Wei started to speak," For the time both the parties are bound in this contract, they can't bait an eye on the opposite gender, and cannot develop feelings for a person other than the parties. Thus, they are asked to remain faithful to each other, and if any of the party is found guilty of having affairs with any third party, as compensation, the contract will be increased by three months more."
After a pause, Li Wei said, "That, Miss Wang, is my condition. And I hope you can accept it."
"And if I don't?" Eliana asked with a suspicious expression.
Li Wei smirked, "Simple, I will also not accept the conditions laid down by you, and the contract will be canceled."
Eliana gritted her teeth, this person knew from the start that if this contract will be canceled it will be impossible for her to take back the First hospital. Thinking this, Eliana's hands cupped into fists.
Seeing her reaction, Li Wei didn't bother to comment. He didn't want to curb her like this, but it's just that the thought of her smiling in front of other men makes his heart clench.
After five minutes, Eliana sighed and said, "Fine, I accept this."
Li Wei chuckled and said, "Good, Miss Wang sure is thoughtful. Now, if there aren't any more conditions, let's proceed to sign this contract, shall we?"
Saying this, Li Wei signaled Mu Shufen, and with this, Mu Shufen kept in front of them the final copies of the contract and pens.
Eliana didn't say a word, as she took the pen and signed it, seeing her, Li Wei too took the pen, and with an expressionless face, he signed the contract, but only he knew how happy he was while writing his sign.
Closing it, Li Wei got up from his seat and then brought forward his hand for a handshake while saying, "Happy corporation, Miss-"
Before Li Wei could even call Eliana, Eliana took his hand for a handshake and said, "Eliana."
"Miss Eliana," Li Wei repeated.
Nodding, Eliana was going to leave when, Li Wei called out, "Tomorrow, at 10 am, at the Marriage registration office, Miss Wang-, oh my apologies, I mean Miss Eliana."
Eliana stopped in her tracks as she listened to Li Wei's words, for a minute she was going why he called her there, but the next moment, it appeared to her, that she was to be married to Li Wei as stated in the contract.
Eliana sighed and turning around to face Li Wei, she said, "I will reach there. Thank you."
Li Wei nodded and then putting on the sunglasses he proceeded out of the restaurant from the other door.
Tomorrow, he and she will be married.
