Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

Chapter 145: Will never be my wife (1)

"Wen, Mei!"

Wen Mei was brought to reality when Feng Ji called out to her.

Startled, she looked towards Feng Ji who was looking at her with a concerned expression.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Ah, Yes. Sorry I was just daydreaming," said Wen Mei with a faint smile.

But to her demise, Feng Ji knew the reason behind her daydreaming.

Sighing inside, he said, "Then I will take my leave," as he patted her shoulder and turned around to leave.

As she saw his disappearing back, a faint yet sad smile formed at her face. 

...

"Madam, Young Master is here," said a maid, as she came running to Liu Roulan, who was in the hall of the Li Mansion, reading some magazine. 

Listening to the words of the maid, Liu Roulan stood up, throwing the magazine on the table.

"Go, prepare for lunch," Liu Roulan ordered the maid, who bowed and left to towards the kitchen. 

After a moment, Li Wei entered the hall, with a file in his hand.

As he walked by, the servants felt their hands and feet turning cold with an expressionless face.

This cold demeanor went down as Li Wei stood in front of her mother.

Hugging his mother, Li Wei, asked, "Where is father?"

Patting his back, Liu Roulan pouted and said, "As soon as you arrived, you are looking for your father? Even when your mom is standing in front of you?"

Li Wei gave a slight smile and said, "I wanted to give him some files."

"He is in his study room, and then come for lunch as soon as possible," said Liu Roulan with a sigh. 

Li Wei nodded and proceeded towards the study room.

"Enter," a voice came, probably Li Qiang, after which Li Wei entered the study room. 

Li Qiang was looking through some books in his bookshelf, when Li Wei said, "Father, this is the file you asked me to bring."

Li Qiang turned around and accepted the file, checking it, he said, "Hmm, alright. Thank you for the hard work, son," with a smile. 

"Then, if there is noth-," Li Wei was cut off by Li Qiang, who said, "I want to talk to you. Take a seat."

After a pause, Li Qiang took a deep breath and said, "Your mom is very concerned about you."

"There is nothing to be worried about," Li Wei said with an expressionless face. 

Li Qiang sighed and said, "There is son, there is, and believe me, you declining it like this won't change the fact."

Li Wei did not say anything at this. 

"Its been a year already. How long will you shut yourself down like this?" said Li Qiang. 

Li Wei sighed at this. He was sick of hearing this all the time. 

"You need to move on. You had done justice the time. You punished the guilty one," he said. 

Hearing this, Li Wei felt suffocated as all the memories came flooding his mind.

"It's not like you were the only one who repented on her departure. Roulan was the one who adored her the most. But making yourself like this, where you just work and work, it is not an option," Li Qiang continued. 

"Give yourself time to recover, spend time with your family, and go out."

"I have already told you that I have no plans to go out," Li Wei said with a sharp gaze. 

"But-"

"Father, please. I won't change my decision," Li Wei said. 

KNOCK

"Yes,"

"Master, Young Master, the lunch is ready," came a voice. 

Hearing this, Li Wei got up from his seat and was going towards the door, when Li Qiang said, "Before taking any decision, take your mother into consideration," said Li Qiang as he sighed and left the room first. 

Li Wei rubbed his temples and proceeded towards the hall.

Sensing the grave atmosphere between the father and the son, Liu Roulan was confused. 

She looked towards Li Qiang and then Li Wei, who were eating silently. Clearing her throat, Liu Roulan decided to break the ice, "Ah...Wei, are you free today?" 

Li Wei said, "I am not, but I will make time. What is it?"

With an excited expression, she said, "My friend's daughter is coming today from overseas after four years. Pick her up from the airport, and on the way, you can stop by somewhere for your date. If you like her, then we can proceed with the engagement." 

anListening to this, Li Wei stopped eating and putting his chopsticks aside, and he said, "I have no problem, you can prepare for the engagement. I don't have time for such trivial things. Furthermore, I will ask Mu Shufen to pick her up from the airport, and there is no need to meet her anyways."

Notifying everyone from his plans, he got up from his seat. 

Listening to this, Liu Roulan frowned, and she said, "But at least-"

"I am doing this for your sake. Please remember, she can become Li family's Young Madam, but she will never be my wife," saying this, Li Wei turned around and left the mansion. 

Liu Roulan slumped on her seat.

She did not know if to feel good that his son has agreed for marriage or to feel sad for her friend's daughter because if this marriage happens, she will be in a loveless marriage. 

"Don't worry," said Li Qiang as he patted his wife at the back. 

"You have done what you should. Now it's all upon the wishes of the god," he said. 

Liu Roulan nodded.

Li Wei got inside the car and said while he adjusted his suit and said to Mu Shufen, who was sitting at the front, "Mu Shufen, give me the schedule for today and make time to pick up the daughter of my mother's friend. I will send you the details."

"Yes," he said as he handed over the tab to Li Wei. 

... 

At the airport, 

A girl in her early twenties came out of the airport. She had a fair complexion, with makeup on, her features were highlighted beautifully. 

Her long hair was made into a half pony. The blush on her cheeks was evidence that she had come out from a warmer place, which was probably the airplane, to a colder place that was the airport. 

She was wearing an outfit that was a knee-length full-sleeved dress that looked beautiful on her as if it was custom made for her. 

Coming out, she looked left and right, so that she could find the one who had come to pick her up. But she could not spot anyone familiar. 

Mu Shufen, who had arrived ten minutes ago, noticed and went towards her gentlemanly. 

"Miss Yang?" he said. 

"Yes?" a sweet and beautiful voice made its way to Mu Shufen's ear.

But he was least affected by it; being a secretary for Li Wei for more than five years, he had met countless women who were beautiful and enchanting.

After sometimes handling them for his boss, he was aware of their nature.

They would often ask him to tamper Li Wei's schedule and tell them his favorites to impress Li Wei. 

With an expressionless face, he said, "Miss Yang Sying, nice to meet you. I am Mr. Li's secretary. I was asked to pick you up."

"Is Brother Li also here?" said Yang Sying excited. 

"I am sorry, Miss Yang. But it seemed like something urgent came up, so he is not here," answered Mu Shufen. 

Sying pouted and said, "That was bad of him. Hmph! I am his future wife, he, as my husband should have come to pick me up."

Mu Shufen sighed at her confidence.

He was afraid that his boss was going to crumple her confidence sooner or later. 

"Please come with me, Miss Yang. The car is that way," Mu Shufen said, as instructed Yang Sying to the car. 

In the car, Sying said, "Take me to his company."

"That I am afraid is not in my capabilities," said Mu Shufen with a severe face. 

"You are just a secretary, as your lady boss, I am ordering you!" said Sying with an irritated face. 

"That-," Mu Shufen did not know what to say. Before coming here, Madam Li told him to do whatever Sying asks.

He could not dare to defy her orders, but he would be dead if he follows it. This was giving him a headache. 

Sighing, he said, "Ok."

..

In the Li Corporation, 

"We have reached, Miss Yang," Mu Shufen said as the car stopped in front of the Li Corps. 

Mu Shufen got out of the car and stood at the front of the entrance waiting for Yang Sying to get out. 

But instead of the car door, the window rolled down, and Sying said, "Open the door for me. Do I need to say this as well? Hmph! I will ask Brother Li to demote you! You are not fit for being a secretary." 

Mu Shufen gritted his teeth, subsiding his annoyance with an expressionless face, and opened the car door.
