Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

Chapter 192: We have to make a move before they do

After talking with Eliana and asking about her situation, Ethan disconnected the call. With a sigh, he said, "Are you all satisfied now?" as he turned around.

Behind him, the other members of the Cinq were sitting with a serious expression on their faces.

Seeing them ignoring him, Ethan had a strong urge to bang his head on the table.

After a tedious day, Ethan he had finally got some peace and was going to sleep when the three of them, Alex, Rey, and Iris barged into his room like burglars and asked him to make a call to Eliana.

Ethan who was half asleep by then couldn't figure out what had happened. Taking sometime by the time he came to his senses all the three of them had occupied their seats in the room as if it was the hall.

"Why don't you all call him by yourselves? It's not like you don't have her phone number," Ethan said.

To this, their response was, "You are her brother, you need to do this," which dumbfounded Ethan.

"I don't care! I am going to sleep again," Ethan said these words and refused their order which he had mistaken as a 'request', but little did he know that he had committed a sin.

Listening to this, a sinister smile had formed on all their faces, and they blackmailed him that if he would refuse it, they would tell Eliana his secret, thus, Ethan had no choice but to follow their order.

He had to put the call on speaker the whole time, and they would ask their questions through him.

"If you all are done, then can you please leave the room? I need to sleep," Ethan said as he was tired of them ignoring him.

"Go sleep in any other room," Iris said bluntly.

To this, Ethan was flabbergast at Iris' reply, with a twitching eyebrow and an irritated expression he said, "Guys, this is my room! Why the fuck should I sleep in another room?"

No sooner than he said this, all of the three people looked at him with a sharp glare that was enough to send chills down Ethan's spine. It was also a warning for Ethan to shut up and follow what they were saying.

Ethan gulped and then bowing he said, "Good night," and he fled out of the room, closing the door.

As the door closed, the room was silent, until a long sigh was heard from Alex.

"Why?" Iris asked as she looked towards Alex who was slouching on the sofa with his legs crossed, keeping his hands stretched on the headrest of the sofa and his head rested in the headrest, looking at the ceiling.

Turning his head towards Iris who was sitting on the same sofa at its other end, he said, "Just thinking about the outcome of all this," with a wry smile.

Before Iris could answer it, Reyansh who was sitting opposite of them on the other sofa with his legs spread, one hand kept on his thigh and another hand on the headrest, said with his raspy voice, "Those bastards from who is responsible for this would find us out and will try to harm us, it is also possible that they can harm us and the other families involved in this, just like they did with the Wang family years ago and then Li Wei's mother two years ago, wait! Add the accident of Eliana a year ago as well."

Listening to him, Iris had the strong urge to slap Rey, but just rolling out her eyes she said, "Can you stop being so carefree? It irritates me."

"What? I am just answering his question, and hun the truth always irritates one," Reyansh said with a sarcastic smug.

"You-,"

"He is right though, but now the point is how to stop this," Alex interrupted Iris.

The room fell into silence, after some time Iris was the one to speak, "We have to make a move before they do."

.....

At Mr. Li and Mrs. Li's Mansion (You know who I mean right?;) )

After eating a meal worth three meals of a day, Eliana felt like she would burst if she would eat even a little bit of anything.

Li Wei who had finished his lunch earlier, spent the rest of his time secretly looking at his wife, eating, but right after Eliana finished her dinner, a phone call came to Li Wei.

At first, he had the intention of not picking the phone call, but to make things less awkward, he decided to leave first.

He stood up from his seat and went away from the dining area.

Seeing him go, Eliana also got up from her seat, and wishing Grandma Ye goodnight, she proceeded to her room. Entering her room, she proceeded straight towards the balcony, in hopes to take a look at the scenery in front of the house.

Balconies had been her favorite spots to relax, whether it is here or any other place.

As soon as Eliana entered the balcony, a gust of cold wind hit her which was enough to send chills down her spine, and it also made her flinch. Shaking her head again, she walked forward towards the railing of the balcony.

In front of her was a view of a plain filled with green tries, because it was at the back of the house, this was acceptable and the trees were what made the wind here cold. This scene was different from the scene that was seen from the French window, it was like two different worlds, and Eliana loved it.

The feeling of cool wind hitting you, the smell of wet grass, free of pollution was the best feeling for her.

Li Wei who was also in the garden that was at the back of the house was talking on the phone. Randomly as he looked up and turned around, he saw Eliana standing on the balcony of the room. She looked like she was enjoying it.

Li Wei could also see a faint smile on her face that was satisfying for him.

"Hello, sir! Are you there? Are you there, C.E.O. Li?"

He was so engaged in looking at Eliana that he forgot to answer the phone. The person on the other side of the phone when felt that Li Wei was not answering called out to him.

As he was going for the second round of shouting, Li Wei interrupted him and said, "Ok, I will talk about it tomorrow."

The other side was dumbfounded.

'Weren't you the one who asked to talk about it now,' the person on the other side of the phone thought, and before the person could say, the call was already disconnected by Li Wei.
