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

Li Jun Wei slipped his finger to her sock, pulling it down gently for her silky smooth leg to appear bellow her skirt. As he took it off, Li Lian felt her body ticklish but at the same time feverish. She felt something knotting in her stomach and when the corner of her eyes caught the sight of the door, she recalled the kiss he did to her. Her finger rubbed at her own lips, feeling how she wondered the texture of his lips would be.

Li Lian has countless time felt his lips on her and it was smooth but she didn’t know how it would feel to touch his lips directly with her fingers, sliding it to the red colored lips which always whispered to her gently.

"The body had turned to skeleton now as you said," He spoke, surprising her by moving his lips she didn’t thought it would move before realizing how they were still in the middle of their conversation. "But before the body was buried, the forensic doctor who stayed at the mortuary had a thorough assessment of the body situation when it was found."

"What did it say?" she asked, and her face moved closer with the word traveling from her lips.

Shifting her eyes from his lips, she heard him reply, "I don’t know yet. When will you be arriving back home tomorrow?" asked Li Jun Wei and his hand stopped at her knees. The place where he touched was dangerously close to her thighs that when his hand fell on the surface of her skin, Li Lian’s goes curled and her calf’s pushed back to the hollow part of the couch.

"I don’t know," she reply, her schedule was in a mess as the recording time would vary according to the situation which Li Jun Wei understood. "But it’s shouldn’t be later than five o’clock." and after her reply, Li Jun Wei sat up from the ground and his hand reached out for her to take.

Li Lian placed her hand on top of his opened palm, wondering what he would do and heard him say, "You should change your clothes now."

"Here?"

"Where else would you change your clothes if not here?" Unexpectedly asked by his question, Li Lian pulled her surrendering smile then turn her face to find the folding screen. As her eyes looked at the closet where usually the folding screen would be, she found the wooden compartment had disappeared.

As the room was wide, Li Lian thought that perhaps someone had moved the folding screen and her eyes roamed around the room, trying to find one but even as she searched with her eyes from the couch she sat on, she found nothing. When her eyes moved to stop at the man who had been watching her, she noticed his smile and her brows were drawn.

Li Jun Wei enjoyed the troubled expression she gave. His eyes stared at how she turned her head around, all over the place to search for the folding screen which was of course to no avail as late this morning, before he had left, Li Jun Wei ordered the maid who cleaned his room to throw the folding screen as it wasn’t needed anymore.

"There is no folding screen in here." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Li Lian knew from his expression that the disappearance of the folding screen was not out of magic or coincidence but what he had done. A simple smile came on his lips, gracing his charming face, "It’s only the folding screen that disappeared, not the clothing, you are perfectly fine, Li Lian."

Li Lian gulped, her eyes met his now and she bite her inner cheeks, "You mean, I have to change here, in this room, without anything protecting me?"

"The folding screen’s use is not to protect you, that is my job and I will be lesser than a folding screen if a folding screen took up my job," Li Jun Wei leaned forward and reached his hand to the side of her face, surprising her, "It work to give space, but we need no space anymore, aren’t we? One steps," he reminded her, "It all comes from courage to take one steps."

He did he his strong point there, thought Li Lian. But she still can’t bring the thought to be naked in front of him. The thought that she had to take off slowly every layer of her clothing while Li Jun Wei watch her with the intense eyes he had while peering her down earlier had her body shuddered.

"Need a help?" and by his one question, the courage she needed as he had said, gathered to her toes.

"No," She refused, taking her clothes off was embarrassing but being helped would surely kills her, "I am perfectly capable and well enough to change my own clothes."

Seeing her standing up, Li Jun Wei bend his legs and sat at the couch where she sat earlier and with a hand gesture as if telling her to go on, he replied, "Okay."

Li Lian thought he would stop her. Maybe not completely but halt her a little but the man didn’t. She padded her steps to the cold floor and her steps made a slight sound barely audible. When she was far enough and had taken the new set of her clothes, Li Lian turned her head back and watched Li Jun Wei still looking at her with a smile, "Can you turn around?"

"The one step would be half if I do that." he replied and having no way to bargain her way out, her body turned around.

Li Lian pulled the zipper on the back of her dress, her front body faced forward to the floor as Li Jun Wei stared at her body from behind. He watch her slender hands slipping the dress from her skin before it slowly moved down to her legs and lower top her ankle. As Li Jun Wei had said nothing, her heart pound as if it was about to burst.

Li Jun Wei saw her slender back, the curvy waist that widen to her hips and fortunately for Li Lian, she was wearing inner pants before her undergarment that helped her from revealing herself in undergarment. The light was bright, making the view more feasible for Li Jun Wei to watch. The four minutes time for her to change felt like hours. She brushed her hair aside, revealing the shoulder that felt too white for Li Jun Wei wanting to sink his teeth again to the skin.

Once Li Lian dressed herself in her pajama, her hand went to rub her forehead that felt watery from sweats. She turned her eyes, meeting his black ones that curved in delight and saw him walk to the side of the bed before patting the empty side as if to call her nonverbal to sleep. Li Lian took her walk very slowly, her eyes looking at him with a thought and she spoke, "You’re mean."

"Only for you." chuckled Li Jun Wei, and once she had pulled her self in and tuck herself under the blanket he wished her, "Good night."

Li Lian turned the side of her face to him, "You too." she whispered, closing her eyes while feeling her heartbeat with her hand above her beating chest.
