Chapter 190: Looks alike
As she entered the bedroom, it appeared to her that Li Wei was not there. Feeling relieved, she sat on the side of the sofa, looking at the scene outside the window. It was full of lights, it looked as if the whole city was decorated with fairy lights.
With small lights twinkling, it was the perfect spot for drinking wine, and true to it, there was a sudden urge inside Eliana to drink some wine, but she soon dismissed this idea as she thought of the place she was in now.
KNOCK
KNOCK
A sudden knock on the door brought Eliana back to reality, from her land of thoughts.
As Eliana turned around, she saw Li Wei standing by taking the support of the door.
Li Wei was in a black T-shirt and grey pajamas, the shirt perfectly hugged his muscular figure and highlighting his biceps. The wet and messy hair added to it, and this was enough to make any woman drool. Eliana gulped on seeing him, she felt as if her throat had gone dry.
If it wasn't for Li Wei's voice, Eliana would have stared at him without looking away even for a second.
As Li Wei's voice sounded, Eliana was startled, a light tinge of pink came to her white milky cheeks.
"It's time for dinner," Li Wei said as he chuckled in his mind on seeing Eliana all flustered.
"Y-Yes," Eliana said as she managed to calm herself down and got up from the seat as she walked towards Li Wei.
On seeing Eliana coming, Li Wei stood straight and showing her the way with his hand, she started to walk behind her.
As soon as she took the step towards the stairs, with the speed of the lightning Li Wei who was walking behind her came beside her and held her hand in his large and warm hands.
It was so fast that Eliana didn't get the time the react and by the time she came to his sense, she was already halfway the stairs with Li Wei holding her hand.
Eliana decided to take her hand away from Li Wei's grip but was unsuccessful as Li Wei's grip was stable. The way Li Wei held her hand was safe.
Li Wei's fingers made a hollow ten around Eliana's wrist, it was done by Li Wei to ensure the safety of Eliana as she descended the stairs. He was also afraid that it would hurt her if he would apply the slightest of force on her wrists.
The stairs were transparent and once when Madam Li visited him, she slipped one of the steps and twisted her ankle, though it happened only once, Li Wei assisted Madam Li if he saw her using the stairs, whenever she visited him.
He obviously didn't want the same to be repeated with Eliana, and so he rushed to her to assist her down the stairs.
But what saddened him was Eliana's health. When Li Wei held her wrist, he was surprised to see that he could easily make a hollow ten around her it with his hand.
It was as if in her wrist there was only a slim bone and a thin sheet of meat.
A slight frown was on his face, all the while he was holding her hand.
As Eliana noticed how Li Wei was holding her hand, mixed feelings emerged in her heart.
Sighing in her heart she followed the lead of Li Wei quietly.
Grandma Ye who was directing the servants to serve food for the master and the mistress of the house, brightened upon seeing Li Wei and Eliana coming towards the dining area, hand in hand. It made her heart at ease of seeing that his master at ease after such a long time.
In her heart, she wished for their well being and said, "You both are here, please take your seat. The dinner is served."
Li Wei nodded while Eliana gave a slight smile. Instead of sitting first, Li Wei pulled the chair for Eliana, ensuring her comfort.
Eliana nodded at this polite gesture of Li Wei and took the seat which Li Wei had pulled back for her.
A slight smile occupied Li Wei's face as he sat beside Eliana.
Although Grandma Ye was still not convinced that the woman in front of her was not Yu Yan, she decided to follow what Li Wei had said earlier.
[Sometime back]
After making sure that Eliana was settled comfortably in the room, Li Wei took his leave as he shut the door of his room.
After getting out of his room, he went straight to the kitchen where Grandma Ye was working. As he entered the kitchen the servants working inside, bowed as they greeted him.
Li Wei nodded, it was that when she saw everyone bowing, Grandma Ye realised that Li Wei was here.
Turning around she faced him and offered a bow.
Li Wei showed a slight smile as he said, "Grandma, can I have a minute?"
Grandma Ye frowned and said, "I have told you thousand times, Young Master. You don't need to be so polite while asking for me. I am servant, you should command, I will follow them," as she pouted.
Li Wei's expression turned serious and he said, "Fine, it is my wish that I will be polite, do you have any problem?
Granny Ye was speechless against this tactic of Li Wei and so with a chuckle, she said, "No, Young Master. I dare not to."
Li Wei nodded as his expression turned gentle, thus he went out of the kitchen followed by Grandma Ye.
Entering the study room of Li Wei, Li Wei asked Grandma Ye to take a seat, Granny Ye followed what he said, and sat opposite to him, confused about what is the matter.
"It's about Eliana."
As he mentioned about Eliana, Grandma Ye's expression turned serious.
"What about Young Madam?"
"I am sure that you might have figured out that she looks like Yu Yan," Li Wei said with a gentle yet cold voice.
Grandma Ye nodded and she was quite surprised as well.
