My Husband is the Emperor : I Woke Up With a Husband

Li Lian heard the way the man called Wei Mo Ran to be somewhat with a feeling but in just a second the feeling disappeared and the smile she had thought saw from his face dropped.

"I know that the studio is occupied which is now I’m requesting the people inside this room. As I have said earlier this is an emergency we will try to finish the recording before it is time for another singer."

Wei Mo Ran crossed her hands across her chest. Her eyes were sharp when she asked, "Which singer? For the person to be in a dire need right now they should be here first and properly request. Not you."

Li Lian chose not to say anything, recalling the small sign that Wei Mo Ran gave and her words which said ’You don’t have to get involve’ and Li Lian could understand why.

Right after Wei Mo Ran’s words, Mr. Jen sighed, his face was cold but before he was able to speak, a voice interjected to the room.

"I apologize everyone." Li Lian casted her eyes away toward the door to see that it was Xie Hue Lin standing on the door, apologizing which was enough to make her understand what happened without asking. Wei Mo Ran and Violet who had seen Xie Hue Lin could also understand what he taken place now and Xie Hue Lin’s trickery.

Xie Hue Lin entered the studio and first bowed toward Mr. Du and Mr. Qing before greeting Li Lian.

"The studio which I was in had a trouble which made me unable to work. This come suddenly and I understand it’s a presumptuous request but the movie’s ending theme had to finish faster than the OST." her words trailed into a whisper where her eyes that directed at Li Lian held a hint of mocking.

"Are you implying the OST isn’t a much importance compared to the ending theme?" Wei Mo Ran’s smile was far from kind.

Xie Hue Lin quickly took a surprised and fragile face, "That’s not what I meant-"

"Miss, please be quiet I am not talking to you but the man in front of me now." replied Wei Mo Ran, she stared back at Mr. Jen with the same intensity. The two seemed to be on a very bad term and none of the two cared to hide the animosity.

"Excuse me miss but you are the one who should be quiet, who do you think you are talking to?" Ku Chenxiang stepped up in Xie Hue Lin’s side. Xie Hue Lin on the other side bend her shoulder which slumped with sadness feigning a bullied expression and she looked up at Li Lian as if feigning to ask for her help but Li Lian was occupied in watching the tense air between Wei Mo Ran and the man who had just came.

"Do I have to know her?" narrowed Wei Mo Ran.

Ku Chenxiang who couldn’t stand anymore with people looking down on bother her and Xie Hue Lin took a step forward her finger stayed to point at her shoulder. "You are only a manager show your respect!"

Wei Mo Ran rolled her eyes, "She isn’t my singer why should I?"

"You-"

It was not Xie Hue Lin who stopped Ku Chenxiang from making a scene but rather it was Mr. Jen. He took a step forward, extending his hand to separated the two women.

"Mind your manners." Wei Mo Ran glared at him, displeased by his words. "We only have four hours and we don’t have enough time. Please extend the studio for Ms. Xie to use, Ms. Yue." his words which was directed toward Li Lian instead make Wei Mo Ran to come forward only to feel a hand stopping her by her wrist.

"I understand, as you said sir, we don’t have time to bicker here. I also agree to lend the studio for Singer Xie." she said, smiling which made Xie Hue Lin to doubt her smile as a sincere one.

Li Lian didn’t see the need to why she should say no to Xie Hue Lin. Is she did rejected her request, rumors of her disrespecting another singer would rose, not that she cared any of it. But she didn’t see the need for her to run and protect herself from Xie Hue Lin’s claws. Because she didn’t had anything to fear from her.

Li Lian then turned her face toward both Mr. Du and Mr. Zhen to ask, "Would that be fine to you two?"

Mr. Qing looked at Li Lian’s decision as wise and agreed, "Yes. We will be fine. Ms. Xie you could use the studio."

With no words exchanged, soon after Mr. Jen who had finished his job turned and stride to exit the studio. His face showed the exact same dislike which was shown to Wei Mo Ran’s face. As the people which helped Xie Hue Lin with her recording, Li Lian walked to ask, "Who was that?"

"Jen Qiling, Million Entertainment’s sales director." Li Lian hummed not wanting to get into details for silence to come before Wei Mo Ran added, "My ex-husband." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Li Lian’s eyes widened. She felt she had asked a very invasive question. Li Lian opened her lips wide to say something but find no words to comment and purse her lips, and Wei Mo Ran noticed this.

"Don’t worry, it’s an old thing." said Wei Mo Ran uncaringly. Her finger then subtly nudged toward Xie Hue Lin who looked troubled and sorry for what had happened. "Do you think it’s fine for you to be in the same room with her? I see nothing but traps around her."

"No problem." replied Li Lian. "The studio is a small thing and this is not the start of her deceives yet. I wonder what she is doing to go so far in such a length."

"You mean by lying that the studio didn’t work due mechanical troubles?" Wei Mo Ran had also seen through the cheap play Xie Hue Lin gave.

"Yes but I wonder how Mr. Jen doesn’t notice this." murmured Li Lian.

"Perhaps he noticed but feign to play the fool." replied Wei Mo Ran lightly.
