Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

"Mom!" Li Wei shouted as Madam Li seemed shocked on opening the wardrobe, which at one side was filled with the clothes of women, and the other accessories in daily use by a woman. On

hearing a familiar voice, Madam Li looked towards the door, where Li Wei stood frozen at the door. 

"Ha!" a loud scoff was heard from Madam Li, and the atmosphere had turned dangerous, even Li Wei felt threatened. Who would have thought that the C.E.O of the Li Corporation would at some point in life, would face this situation? He gulped, as his throat felt dry. 

SLAM!!

Madam Li slammed the door of the wardrobe shut, the voice almost echoed in the mansion. "Good work, Old Ye. You seem to have cut down my efforts of calling this person here," she paused as she looked at Old Ye, who diverted her eyes, looking on the floor, and then glaring at Li Wei she said, "Now then, Mr. Li. Would you mind accompanying me for a small talk?" 

"After you," Li Wei said, as he made way for Madam Li to go out of the room, Madam Li like a lightning bolt, dashed out of the room, Li Wei followed her. 

In the hall, after all of them settled down, Madam Li finally opened her mouth after a long silence, said, "If I wouldn't have come here, and did what I did just now, I think you had no idea of telling me that there is someone who is living with you, under a roof, in a single room."

Li Wei didn't say a word, he needed to do something, or they will be doomed for sure. 

"Who is she?" Madam Li, said, as she threw the direct question on her son, who was sitting in front of her.

"I can't tell you now. But give me some time, I will surely take her to meet you and father," Li Wei said, in a tone, that looked like he was pleading for something. No one would have imagined him to be like this. 

"And, when will that time come?" Madam Li asked, right now, she was looking like what we call a strict mother. 

"I am not sure, but it will be soon," Li Wei said, he was not himself sure when will the time come. Its been only three days since Elaina had accepted her feelings for him, he didn't want to burden or

pressure Elaina regarding all this information. 

"Ah Wei, it is not like that I am against it, and it's not like that I am trying to pry in your love life, its just that, I want to at least meet the woman, who had made you serious about her," Madam Li said, and the serious aura around her had been dropped. With her gentle eyes, and her expression out of concern for her son. 

Li Wei had a vague idea why Madam Li was concerned about it. After what happened with Yang Sying, a feeling of guilt had crept into her heart, which also made her overprotective of Li Wei. 

After taking a short breath, Li Wei moved towards Madam Li, and taking her hand, between both his hands, he said, "Give me some time, I will surely introduce her to everyone."

There was a slight frown on Madam Li's face, but after looking at Li Wei, who seemed serious, she took a deep breath, and then said, "Well then, I've got no choice but to wait. I am looking forward to our meeting. Now, I will take my leave, and you should go back to work as well," as she got up from her seat. 

Listening to her words, Li Wei got up and pulled his mother into a hug, who didn't look so happy with the conclusion of this unexpected meet. The moment Li Wei pulled Madam Li into a hug, all her discontentment vanished and she almost melted. Patting his back, she said, "Stop buttering me. I know all of your tricks," as she slapped Li Wei's back. 

Li Wei who was enjoying his mother's pats, the slap at his back came to him as a surprise, "Ouch!" he whined, as he broke the hug. 

"Don't overreact, hmph!" Madam Li said, and then both of them broke into a burst of light laughter. Li Wei bid farewell to his mother, and after which he did not wait long, to get into his car, ready to go to his office. 

...

Meanwhile, in the GlobalMed, Elaina was sitting in her office, looking at some documents, when her phone ranged. Seeing the ID, she smiled and then said, "Felix, this is an unexpected call," 

as she accepted the call.

From the other side of the phone, a voice of a man in his fifties was heard, "Hmph, you impudent brat. Looks like you have forgotten who I am. And, you have also forgotten that who are you to me, and 

what you should do."

"Felix, are you sure that you are not the one forgetting things? Seems like you are trying to revive your memory, by asking me things like these. Give how old-"

"Shut up, brat. One more word and you are done for," a loud voice was heard from the other side. It was loud enough for Elaina to distance her ear from the phone. 

"Ok, fine. As for me forgetting things, I haven't forgotten anything you mentioned," Eliana said. 

"Given the number of times you call me, I believe you," the man named Felix, said, with a sarcastic tone. 

"I am sorry, about that Felix. I was busy. But I am sure, Ethan would be giving you all the report related to me," Elaina said, as she got up from the seat, and walked towards the big window, that showed the whole city in a single glance.

"Did you reconcile with Li Wei?" Felix asked, and his voice had now become softer and gentle.

"Hmm, I did. Things happened, and I realized that it was the right thing to do," Elaina answered. 

"Good. He is a patient man, and it's not advisable to test him anymore. It's time, that he should know things about you," he said. 

A long sigh was heard from Elaina's side, and then after a pause, she continued, "Hmm, I will tell him, it's time. I can't run away anymore."

"Well then, all the best, dear. I hope everything goes well. And even if it doesn't, you know you can come back to America. The Songs will welcome you with open arms, anytime," Felix said. 

"Hmm, I know," Elaina answered with a sigh, and the call was disconnected. 

"I hope that that chance never comes," Elaina mumbled, before she took her phone, and then dialed a number. 

'The user you are trying to reach is unavailable right now," the voice came. 

Elaina frowned upon this. Getting to her table, she took the receiver of the telephone, and dialing a number, she said, "Send Micheal to my office and ask him to bring Mia's flight details."

After few minutes, Micheal entered the office, and then said, "C.E.O., here is Mia's flight details."

"Uh, Yes, thank you. Also, did you talk to her all this time?" Elaina asked as she took the file presented by Micheal, and she started to read it. 

"I talked to her in the morning, C.E.O. After that, I didn't contact her," Micheal said. 

"Hmm, ok. You can go now," Elaina said, as which he left the office. Mia's flight would land in China, at almost midnight, but it was truly surprised that there were no messages, till now.

"Maybe, I am overthinking," Elaina mumbled, as she closed the file, and then got back to her work. 

It was almost 7 p.m. when Elaina took off from the office, and still, there were no messages from Mia, she was not picking up the call. Elaina didn't feel right, regarding this. Making a call, she said, "Check if Mia has boarded the flight or not."

"Let's go," Elaina ordered the driver to drive her back to the Mansion. 

As she entered the Mansion, Old Ye greeted her. Greeting her back, Elaina was going to go to her room, when Old Ye stopped her, "Young Madam, I want to tell you something."

"Yes, What is it, Grandma Ye?" Elaina said, as she turned around to face Old Ye, who seemed anxious, Elaina raised her eyebrow, at this. 

"Madam Li dropped by today," Old Ye said, to which Elaina had no special reaction. It was not unexpected for Madam Li to drop by, after all which mother won't be bothered about her child's well-being? 

Wait…

Elaina halted her thinking, as something popped into her mind. Li Wei had taken off with her, and so why did Madam Li drop by when Li Wei was not here?

Elaina looked at Old Ye with a bewildered expression, and then asked, "What did she do?"
