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

The corridor where they were was a place restricted from others and Li Lian had walked in a distance so people didn’t think they would be together. For further protection, Violet was standing near her in case if the man screamed for help but Wei Tsui Lan didn’t. Instead of fear, he seemed to enjoy being pressed to the wall.

Li Lian access what Wei Tsui Lan was thinking but with the smile, she could not see anything from him. "You believe the rumors but you are not afraid of what I could do?"

"With the help of Li Jun Wei?" asked Wei Tsui Lan and Li Lian pushed him again to the floor, pressing his back closer to the wall for his a sound of thud to be heard.

"With or without his help." replied Li Lian, her voice was rigid, loosing the kindness and so was the smile from her lips. "What else do you know about me?"

"What else I-" started Wei Tsui Lan only to stop when Li Lian’s held on his collar tightened to make his breaths harder to take. Wei Tsui Lan’s hand held hers to stop but Li Lian didn’t loosen her hold.

"I am not questioning you here Tsui Lan I’m ordering you to reply my words and my questions." Li Lian’s neck crane up to look at Wei Tsui Lan’s eyes which was still lively. "Yes. You say I could ask Jun Wei’s help and if you keep on persisting to keep the secrets you have, I wouldn’t hesitate to use my own way to force the words out from you."

With people chasing for her life and Li Jun Wei’s, Li Lian couldn’t tolerate people that could possibly have harm against them. No matter how small it is. Li Lian löst her patient when she realized how Wei Tsui Lan deliberately talk to the lady who couldn’t speak well in any language but Japanese while bringing the lady to the counter so Li Lian would have to speak in Japanese.

It was only until a moment ago did Wei Tsui Lan spoke Japanese that only set her suspicion to the man to spike.

Li Lian then spoke as Wei Tsui Lan couldn’t, "By the time I release my hand speak or else you’ll feel something worse than this." Wei Tsui Lan struggled to pull the corner of his lips as if to say okay and Li Lian releases her hand just faintly for him to breath but not completely so the man wouldn’t make a run from her.

When Li Lian’s hand loosened on his collar, Wei Tsui Lan cough for air with his face that was red from having a hard time to breathe regularly, "You are stronger than I thought," said the man as he finally could breathe.

Li Lian rolled her eyes and tightened the collar slightly, "Speak." she said.

Wei Tsui Lan replied by raising his hand to tell her okay and placed it again in the wall, "It’s just the rumors I’ve heard and I’m curious to know what you are."

Li Lian narrowed the words he uttered, "What do you mean by what I am?"

"The rumors surrounding you they are all false but I found some that seems to be correct. How you are able to speak Japanese, your strength, and beauty." He smirked in glee.

"You haven’t seen me yet how could you come in those conclusions?" She asked, still finding his words dubious but she could also tell that he wasn’t lying either.

"We’ve met just a glance but I’ve met your sister more and there were more bullshits she tells that I believed you rather than her." Wei Tsui Lan chuckled, "She is very bad at lying but others believe her like... He Chang Min."

Li Lian ignored his nonsenses that we’re trying to distract her mind from her questions at hum. "What do you know about my Japanese?"

"That you are good at it? The rumors say that your only strength is that you could speak other language such as English and Japanese. I just find it a little weird when you came from the countryside." His eyes looking down at Li Lian glimmered, "But I learned today that no one should ever mess with people from countryside."

Li Lian found it weird, she could tell from his words Wei Tsui Lan wasn’t lying at her. His words had no lies but it was empty from the truth. It was as if he was stating what he knew but with a twist of truth.

"Last question." Li Lian stated and he gave her a rigid nod. "Do you plan to hurt me?"

Wei Tsui Lan looked at her, his eyes staring back at her before his smile crooked to widen, "No." The reply was short but by far the most trustful words.

Li Lian released her hand, letting the man to stumble to the floor while holding his neck to soothe the skin that had turned red but not enough for it to bruise. While Wei Tsui Lan was on the ground, Li Lian look at the man and took her phone to take a picture. When she was done, she placed her phone to her purse again.

"Taking my picture?" asked Wei Tsui Lan with the cocky smile.

"Yes for evidence that there was someone stalking me." Li Lian didn’t stay long at the place. Once she had asked Wei Tsui Lan, she went back to the party. Before they went, Violet looked at the man. Like Li Lian, she found Wei Tsui Lan to be a thorn in her eyes. Without a word, she left the man from the place, following Li Lian and Wei Tsui Lan who leaned to the wall rubbed his skin before grinning from ear to ear.

Once Li Lian was back at the party, on her way to enter, she stopped to see Xie Hue Lin blocking her path. The two sisters looked at each other.

Li Lian wasn’t in the mood to meet her sister. She could tell that Xie Hue Lin had been watching her but didn’t know where she had gone. To see Xie Hue Lin now in front of her, she could guess she was searching for Li Lian and she was correct.

For long when Xie Hue Lin in the party she noticed Li Lian sat with Wei Tsui Lan for a moment, talking. Xie Hue Lin couldn’t guess what was the relationship between Li Lian and Wei Tsui Lan but she was sure their relationship cross more than just a friend. Then came Xie Hue Lin’s thought of how they must known each other after rolling in the bed together.

While Xie Hue Lin attend the people who came to step on her coattail and curry her favors, she lost Li Lian and Wei Tsui Lan who suddenly disappeared after the arrival of one woman. Curiously, Xie Hue Lin began to search for Li Lian in case if she stumble upon a juicy source where she could turn it into Li Lian’s scandal.

In the showbiz once a singer had a love scandal, the effect would end their career. Especially when Li Lian’s partner was Wei Tsui Lan who is famous for his die hard female fans. If the news became popular, Wei Tsui Lan’s fans would never forgive Li Lian from taking Wei Tsui Lan and her bullying had been put to the stone.

But with the wave of people, she soon lost where Li Lian was and only meet her now.

Li Lian on the other hand, was curious about the men Xie Hue Lin sent to her that day and was curious to know the real truth hidden between her sister. When Xie Hue Lin smiled, Li Lian also smiled.

"Li Lian, oh you were outside. How are you?" Xie Hue Lin asked, the pleasantry she exchange was for her own purpose.

"I am fine. I just had someone to greet with." Li Lian smiled and her eyes went to Xie Hue Lin’s hand, "No drink?"

"I like to be sober." replied Xie Hue Lin, feeling the eyes that slowly gathered toward them.

"I see that you are sober now so why do you have to run?" asked Li Lian with her eyebrows raised.

"I didn’t run." Xie Hue Lin countered. Truthfully, Xie Hue Lin had sweats running on her forehead because she had moved from one end of the hall to another in action to search for Li Lian and Wei Tsui Lan that ended up fruitless. But she wouldn’t admitted it when everyone was hearing their conversation.

"That’s even more odd. You are sweating even though the hotel is cold, are your sweats glands ill?" asked Li Lian with a concern look to see Xie Hue Lin’s smile twitched.

Xie Hue Lin clenched her hand at Li Lian’s remark but was able to stay her smile down after her years of practice. "I went out for a moment." replied Xie Hue Lin and before she could use her way to ask Li Lian hummed to say,

"There is only one door outside and from what I see you are about to enter. Did you went out from the party hall using the window?" When Xie Hue Lin was about to retort again, Li Lian covered her lips and her hand stopped at Xie Hue Lin’s shoulder, touching the bare skin enough for the younger sister to flinch in surprise. "I’m joking, Hue Lin you looked in a hurry so I thought it’s good to relax you a little."

Xie Hue Lin who was not given the chance to speak or fake her sad expression could only tighten the clench on her palm. Anger seething on her eyes with her lips set a contrasting expression. "What about you, Li Lian are you not going to drink?"

"I want to be sober too. It’s frightening if you are drunk in the room where many people are at the same room, don’t you agree? In case if something unwanted to happen." replied Li Lian, and at the end she smiled.

"If you want to answer which I know it’s not a must, who was it that you greeted?" Xie Hue Lin asked and by now, most people had stopped their eyes at Li Lian and Xie Hue Lin. The two singers were famous on their own reasons. While Li Lian was famous for her singing voice that had brought thousands to tears, Xie Hue Lin had made her fame for being the most famous singer when she had just debuted in less than a few weeks.

"You are curious? It’s someone that I know." replied Li Lian, strumming close to Xie Hue Lin’s conversation.

"I just hope to know. It must be a secret if you can’t tell me. I don’t mind, everyone have a secret or two they don’t want to tell." Li Lian agreed at Xie Hue Lin’s words. The one or two secret her younger sister mentioned hooked Li Lian to find out what Xie Hue Lin was hiding for her to be fearless.

Now that she thought about it. Although Xie Hue Lin was less fearless in front of Li Jun Wei when they had met each other last time, she was still brave in front of him even though Xie Hue Lin should know better how influential Li Jun Wei was.

It was as if Xie Hue Lin didn’t worry because she believe Li Jun Wei wouldn’t be able to do anything against her when Li Jun Wei could have done worse than Xie Hue Lin could ever think of.

"It was an old friend I know who came from Japan." replied Li Lian, her words clear and Li Lian saw how Xie Hue Lin’s eyes snapped up at her as if in surprise and shock colored her face.

"From Japan?" Xie Hue Lin repeated and Li Lian watched how Xie Hue Lin’s legs took two steps behind. The small action of fear and surprise had Li Lian to narrow her eyes. She was correct. Xie Hue Lin did know about her being the granddaughter of Ryouma Family.
