Chapter 219: HELLO HUBBY!


    In Moscow,


    Li Wei had just entered his hotel room, when his phone ranged. It was ina. Looking at the phone call, he took a deep breath and then taking the call he said, "He-" but was cut off by ina''s drunken voice, which suddenly said, "HELLO HUBBY!"


    Li Wei: "...."


    Li Wei was dumbfounded the moment he heard ina''s words. A sudden shock was on his face. "H-Hubby?" Li Wei mumbled silently, and this only word was enough to make this person blush. A light tinge of pink came to his cheeks, and his hand covered his lips, but that wide grin could not be concealed.


    Coming back to his senses, he cleared his throat and was going to say something, when ina spoke, "Li Wei! What are you doing? Are you there?" with her tipsy voice, and that was enough to let Li Wei know that she was not in her usual self.


    "Just how much have you-," once again Li Wei was mercilessly cut off by ina who whined, "Are you cheating on me? You are a jerk! yboy! Idiot! Pervert!"


    Li Wei: "..."


    Yet again, Li Wei was left dumbfounded. Cheating on Eliana? Is she kidding or what? And what''s with those curses! Li Wei raised an eyebrow and then said, "Are you jealous? What will you do, if I am cheating?"


    "I will shoot you with a gun at the very ce," ina said, as normally as if she was talking about something random. Li Wei gulped, and then after a moment he burst intoughter.


    Hearing hisughter, ina who was all taken over by the alcohol said, "Why are youughing? This is not a joke!"


    Stillughing, Li Wei managed to control hisughter and then said, "Ok Ok, but tell me, how much did you drink and why are you not asleep yet?"


    "I drank just a little bit, only a whole bottle of red wine," ina answered. Li Wei was shocked, just how did she drink this much!


    "And why aren''t you asleep yet?" Li Wei asked, as he repeated hisst question. "I couldn''t fall asleep without you!" ina whined, which made Li Wei speechless, and gave him a blush on the cheeks again. This was the first time he was feeling flustered like this.


    "Are you flirt-" Li Wei asked with an amused expression. This drunken ina waspletely opposite of the normal ina. He was clearly enjoying this until ina said, "Did you think I will say this? You are wrong!" followed by a sinisterughter.


    ''I will take my words back, drunk or not, in both ways, she is sarcastic,'' Li Wei thought in his mind.


    "Why didn''t you tell me that you were going on a business trip? Are you running away from me?" ina said as she pouted on the other side.


    "It was an emergency soI didn''t have any time to tell you, and then I was on the ne, so I couldn''t call you. Rest assured your highness, I am not running away from you," Li Wei said, as he chuckled.


    After a pause he said, "Maybe this is not bad afterall. You are quite honest when you are drunk."


    "I always have been honest.....it''s just that I am scared....will it be ok if I let myselfe close to you?" ina mumbled in her drunk voice, these words caught Li Wei off guard. He would never have thought that ina would say this to him, in this situation.


    After a moment of silence, Li Wei said, "Don''t be scared, from now on, let me protect you. I''ll protect you from everything, I can do anything if you ask me to, just don''t run away anymore. You know, everytime you go away, it feels like a part of me has left me. Just promise me, that you won''t run away anymore, and after that, leave everything to me."


    As Li Wei finished his words, he could hear the rhythmic breathing of ina. "It seems like she has fallen asleep. Good night then, dear wife. I love you," Li Wei said, as he disconnected the call.


    ina, on the other side, had already moved to the bed and was now in a deep slumber.


    .....


    Back in China, it was already morning, and also the time for ina to wake up. But this morning wasn''t so pleasant for her, because as soon as ina opened her a great headache hit her. Regretting her life decisions for the nth time, she got up and sat on the bed, while she held her head and searched for her phone.


    Her phone was kept beside her pillow, and how it came there, the memories were still hazy. As ina opened her phone, her call log was opened and thest call was by her to Li Wei.


    Hmm...


    Last call was to Li Wei....


    Wait....


    LAST CALL TO LI WEI!?


    WHAT THE....


    The above is sequence of reactions was exactly how ina reacted on seeing herst call to Li Wei. And soon, all the memories that were hazy a moment ago, became clear. She recalled a full conversation that she had with Li Wei and how she called him ''hubby'' as well. The words of Li Wei came to her mind.


    ''Don''t be scared, from now on, let me protect you. I''ll protect you from everything, I can do anything if you ask me to, just don''t run away anymore. You know, everytime you go away, it feels like a part of me has left me. Just promise me, that you won''t run away anymore, and after that, leave everything to me.''


    ''It seems like she has fallen asleep. Good night then, dear wife. I love you.''


    ina: "////"


    A light blush came on her face, lowkey she was happy with what he said, a part of her was already convinced that she could tell Li Wei the things that are hidden in her heart.


    "Looks like, it''s time. Maybe, I should tell him," ina said, but soon the terms of the ''marriage contract'' came into her mind. Three months.


    "Three months. But with the end of these three months, will our rtionship also end?" Eliana mumbled.After a pause, she continued, "Nheless, I should thank him for what he has done for me, and it will be the best if I talk to him after hees back from Russia."


    With a heavy sigh, ina got up from her bed and then decided to get ready for work. Her today''s attire was a pantsuit. It was a white trouser and a white double breasted zer. Making her hair into aponytail, Eliana was ready to take off.


    Going downstairs, Old Ye was already ready with breakfast. As Eliana sat in her ce, Old Ye presented before her a bowl full of soup and said, "This will help in your hangover, Young Madam."


    ina looked at Old Ye with amusement, and said, "How do you know, Grandma Ye, that I had a hangover?"


    "After drinking a full bottle of wine, it''s no surprise that you will end up with a hangover the next day, Young Madam," Old Ye said with a smile on her face. ina on listening her, chuckled and then procedded to eat her breakfast.


    After finishing it, Eliana went to the GlobalMed building. As Eliana sat in her office, Mia came in, with some documents. "How are the things going on?" ina asked as she began to look into the documents handed by Mia.


    "I will start with GlobalMed. We have secured the deals with most of the hospital and all of them are ready to give us their shares. Till now, almost every elite hospital in the capital is under GlobalMed."


    "Keep working, until the almost converts into all," ina said, her eyes still on the documents.


    "As for the Song Industries, we have secured deals with the clients that came from Canada, but the Russian client that we were talking to has requested to meet you in person. ording to them, they are of a reputed status and thus are demanding to talk with you regarding the deal."


    "Cancel the contract with them, people who are so with attitude, we don''t need them," ina said with a poker face.


    Mia nodded and then went out.


    As Mia went out, ina''s phone started to ring. It was Li Wei. Seeing his name, the word ''hubby'' automatically came into her mind. Clearing her throat, she picked up the phone.


    "Good Morning dear wife," Li Wei''svoice was heard.


    "W-What is it? Judging by this, it does not seems that you are busy," ina said.


    "Of course, I am busy. But my mind and heart always misses you," Li Wei answered.


    "Mr. Li, your cheesy lines won''t work on me," ina answered.


    "That''s what I love about you," Li Wei mumbled in a low voice.


    "What? What did you say?" ina said as she heard Li Wei''s voice, she seemed engaged in her documents


    "Did you have your breakfast?" He asked.


    "Yes," an instant reply from ina.


    "Are you at work?"


    "Yes." ina replied, she was solely focusing on the document.


    "Will you be workingte?"


    "Yes," again an instant reply.


    "Do you miss me?" asked Li Wei again.


    "Yes-," ina replied instantly, but she stopped halfway on realizing what she said.


    ina: "....."


    Li Wei: (   )
