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

Once Li Lian had left, Li Jun Wei entered the room and closed the door behind his back. He went to take a seat on front of Li Xiao Chen and brought his legs one over another to cross with his elbows placed on his laps and brought his fingers to clasp. His face appearing to be in silence and thought while Li Xiao Chen who had took a hold of his phone turned his face at his brother.

Seeing his brother in a thought, Li Xiao Chen pressed his finger to the pause button on the screen and from the phone a song began to play. At the voice Li Jun Wei was sure even if he was deaf he would still be able to recognize whose voice had sang to his ears now. His eyes fell on the phone and the smile that was hard to appear on his smile began to soften the corner of his lips.

The two brothers enjoyed the song in silence, Li Xiao Chen in fact began to sniffle at the half second of the songs, feeling that both Li Lian’s voice and the lyric touched him. Li Xiao Chen tried not to react to the song with tears, to show that it was a very touching song but it was hard for him to resist to react.

Li Jun Wei silently hear the song while his smile appeared on his lips was calm. Li Lian’s voice was as beautiful as ever. It made him to feel peace inside his heart. The song that reflected her as she encouraged others.

When the song ended, Li Xiao Chen who had muffled his face with tissue to stop reacting felt his heart light, "This is a very refreshing song." He said while dabbing the tissue to his eyes.

"I thought you’ve heard the song before others?" Li Jun Wei asked with his brows raised at his little brother.

Li Xiao Chen was silent for a few moment, skimming Li Jun Wei’s face that was with no tears and wonder if his older could cry at all or if he was being sensitive today. He then replied, "It’s unfair if I hear the song by myself before you, right? Brother’s jealousy is frightening after all." Li Xiao Chen rubbed his forearm as if he was shivering out of coldness just by imagining it to happen.

Li Jun Wei broke to a small laugh that had Li Xiao Chen to be taken aback and his chin stick close to his neck, wondering if he had heard and see it correct that his brother laughed just now. But he was correct. Li Xiao Chen then saw Li Jun Wei’s hand raised and stopped at his head, "I was worried if anything happen to you." said Li Jun Wei with a smile still on his lips. "I’m glad that you are alright."

Li Xiao Chen pulled the muscle on the bottom of his lips as if to stop his tears but it didn’t help and brought the collection of the used tissues on his lap to cover his face. "That’s not fair. I’ve just cried and I’m still sensitive," Li Xiao Chen remarked as he continued to sob. Seeing Li Xiao Chen sob, Li Jun Wei raised his hand only to pat Li Xiao Chen’s shoulder.

His little brother had passed the age of twenty, old enough to start his own family but to Li Jun Wei’s eyes he looked not much different than the past. In change for Li Jun Wei who had never showed much reaction or expression, Li Xiao Chen always did many thugs to force a reaction from his brother, to make him the human he was that perhaps at some times Li Jun Wei forgot and became nothing less than a robot.

As Li Xiao Chen put away the tissues that was the evident of his tears which he felt embarrassed for, Li Jun Wei scrolled through Li Xiao Chen’s phone on the news regarding Li Lian and noticed how her song had gone wild through the entire Weibo. Most reviews and comments were good accept some which was understandable as out of ten people possibilities five would badmouth one person.

Li Xiao Chen pushed away the tissue before he went by his brother side when the door to his room burst open. Madam Li entered with her face pale, not too much different expression like Li Lian and her feet quickly stepped toward Li Xiao Chen.

Li Xiao Chen who was about to smile and ease his grandparent’s worry suddenly felt his cheeks pressed, his face being pulled by Madam Li and the old woman inspected all wounds on his face and body before she pulled him close to her, "Please Xiao Chen don’t surprise me like this! You and your brother is not far off from each other when it come to stopping my heart! I almost gave a heart failure-"

Li Xiao Chen, who had returned his grandmother hug, patted her back, "Yes, yes, this is all my fault but you are glad to see me alright now, right?" He asked when he had pulled himself away from his grandmother.

Madam Li had a frown on the forehead of her face, pulling the wrinkles, "How could it happen in Imperial Hospital. This had never happened before!" Madam Li stressed and her husband came behind her.

"This must not be done by someone outside, Imperial Hospital’s guard are secure." said Master Li to Li Jun Wei. He was sure that the fire was started by accident as bot all could enter Imperial Hospital to their liking.

"The police is still searching for the source and reason for now, there are no casualties or victims other than Xiao Chen." answered Li Jun Wei and Master Li give his grandson a nod. "This could be an accident or if someone had deliberately planned it."

The words had Madam Li and Master Li’s eyes went to Li Jun Wei. "Do you mean that someone is attacking Xiao Chen in purpose?" asked Master Li. He couldn’t imagine anyone would want to kill his grandson but then there was a reason which was their wealth.

"It could be." replied Li Jun Wei with his eyes staring at his grandparents. He couldn’t tell whether it was only his grandfather or it could be the two of them who was hiding something. If his grandparents were the one who had hidden the past about his accident, they have clear everything perfectly which had him question to what extent his grandparents could do. "I don’t have any clues yet but there is a possibility." Master Li gave a thought and agreed.

Madam Li turned her head, she had accepted Li Jun Wei’s shortness of words that she didn’t mind her grandson to reply curtly. Her eyes stayed at the younger grandson. Just a few days ago she had insist in Li Xiao Chen getting a wife and now seeing Li Xiao Chen in the hospital had her thinking again if all this time she had been too forceful to him.

"I will give you the car back." said Madam Li and Li Xiao Chen’s brows were raised high.

"Don’t be like that grandma. If you become kind, I’m afraid grim reaper would come to snatch my soul now." Li Xiao Chen then shook his head, "I don’t want that to happen."

Madam Li fumed at his words and brought her hand to slap Li Xiao Chen’s empty head, "You! You dare to say that inside a hospital? Come here!"

Li Xiao Chen shot his hand over his head, covering it from Madam Li’s hand, "Wait! I’m hurt! I’m hurt!" Pulling Li Jun Wei unexpectedly his brother raised his hand to stop his grandmother and Li Xiao Chen smiled before it dropped when Li Jun Wei flicked his forehead.

"Keep your words Xiao Chen." reminded Li Jun Wei and the Koi puckered his lips.

Madam Li crosses her hands above her chest, "Why are you in hospital anyway? Before it was your brother and now you."

Li Jun Wei’s eyes narrowed at his grandmother words, "Before?" He repeated the one word and Madam Li stopped talking with her lips opened in surprise.

Master Li stepped to say, "Yesterday in my usual checkup the doctor told me about it, the splitting headache. I heard you had a horrible headache. Are you still experiencing the pain?" asked Master Li with concern.

"I am. If not, I will make an appointment with the doctor." replied Li Jun Wei for Master Li to nod and walk toward the chair when they realized a hair pin falling on the floor. Madam Li being the first to notice took the hair pin and raised it up before Li Jun Wei for him to see.

"Li Lian came earlier, when she heard the news she immediately came but I’ve told her to go back." Li Jun Wei asserted for his grandparents silently smile.

"She is a very sensible person." Madam Li commented and taking the seat she sighed, "Yesterday Jin came to me, she asked about Li Lian’s past." The old woman brought her hand to her face, shaking her head with her face in concern.

A small thin smile appeared on Li Jun Wei’s lips, "They came." He remarked to then asked, "What did Aunt Jin asked?"

"It was about the false rumors. I’ve told her it was all a misunderstanding." replied Madam Li before her brows sloped in sympathy. "Li Lian must have suffered a lot in Xie Family. For a lovely girl like her to go through such horrible experience in her age, it makes me wonder if Mr. and Mrs. Xie are blood related with her. Especially her sister."
