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

Once the woman left in a hurry out of shame, Li Lian turned her face at Zhuang Xuan. Her eyes then looked at him and she pulled one corner of her lips into a grin, "You are the same as always."

"I will take that as a compliment, better than a trash that changes by time, don’t you agree?" Zhuang Xuan winked at her and he called someone by a wave of his hand. Going there, Zhuang Xuan then said Li Lian’s name for the person to cross her name in the paper that was used to check other’s name and confirm invitation.

"By trash, you mean him?" Li Lian asked when her friend came back and they both entered the hotel.

"Chang Min." named Zhuang Xuan who then stopped at a couch to say, "There will still be a few people we are waiting for until the dinner start, take a seat."

Li Lian took a seat beside him, her eyes then looked around the hotel to then stop at Zhuang Xuan, "I thought you were still friends with him." But seeing Zhuang Xuan calling him trash it didn’t seem like they were friend.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Xuan rolled his eyes, "As much as I hate him and all his damnable action, can’t deny the fact he has been my friend for more than a decade." His eyes then came to settle at Li Lian who seemed to be alright in the mention of He Chang Min. "I’m not going to tell you forgive that son of bastard."

Li Lian smiled at him, "I know," she replied. Zhuang Xuan had always been on her side and the only one person she could believe who is outside of her family. As Li Jun Wei and Li Xiao Chen are a part of her family, Li Lian couldn’t place them at the same seat, she thought to herself.

"We’ll forget about the idiot who left you and then cry in the corner," started Zhuang Xuan and Li Lian scoffed to raise her brow,

"Cry?" she asked to him, eyes with disbelief.

"It’s an expression Lian Lian," Zhuang Xuan shrugged his shoulder at her, "Don’t expect anything from him. If you hate him, just hate him, he’ll end up in some rotten corner and believe me I’ll not even save him if he is in peril. I’ll stand there beside him, waving his hand and giving my middle finger he deserve. Even if he is my friend, well earned that." Zhuang Xuan added, "Let’s drop him away, what about you? Anything you have to say?"

Zhuang Xuan saw Li Lian raising her brows before she began to furrow her brows and he spoke, "Well I first have to say something, congratulation for finally having your own song, it is your dream isn’t it?" Li Lian smiled at her friend.

"Thank you." she said and Zhuang Zuan replied back to her with his smile.

"You’re welcome." Zhuang Xuan returned when the person who was assigned to arrange the reunion stopped at the place where she was, coming to stand in the middle of the room to announce,

"We will now proceed to leave the place to move on our next event which is dinner." announced the man who Li Lian remembered to be the same person who had been the class president before.

Li Lian deep down expected Li Jun Wei to be the first one to congratulate her once the song was released but she could understand that her timing wasn’t good as Li Xiao Chen was caught up in an accident the same day she had released her song. It wasn’t the situation where she could expect him to congratulate her and until now, she did not expect the congratulation either.

Li Lian continued to flow the group of people and stopped when she found a large golden plate on the wall written with words and bellow, her eyes read the Li Corporate written in the middle of the box. This hotel too was, Li Jun Wei’s thought Li Lian t herself. She wondered at what age Li Jun Wei took the position as the heir?

Li Lian remembered the maid’s words of how the rest of relatives want the picture to be rid off which was odd thought Li Lian, they should have been sad to place the picture aside as it belong to their family members who had passed away but then again, this was Li Family she was talking of. They were different than other families be it in term of wealth, dynamics, and familial love. Like how each families have their own problems, it was the same case for Li Family.

At first Li Lian thought Jin Nu Yuan may have a feeling to Li Jun Wei that was love but then she rethought of it and cross her thoughts. It wasn’t that Jin Nu Yuan like Li Jun Wei, her feeling to Li Jun Wei was only admiration for the wealth Li Jun Wei posses. Li Lian didn’t know why Mrs. Jin seemed to be hell bent in having her out of the house. And from their last exchange, Li Lian could say for sure the woman would still have the thought of hate and the demanding need to have Li Lian out of the house.

Madam Li welcomed her to the family but she is also suspicious of Li Lian’s relationship with Li Jun Wei. A part of Madam Li seem to disbelief Li Lian had married Li Jun Wei out of feeling and there came the thought of Li Jun Wei that had her lips to fork into a soft smile.

It could be because Li Lian had always been beside him for the past four months that without him, she began to feel somewhat empty and miss the time when they were together.

Li Lian continued to enter the corridor, following her steps with Zhuang Xuan beside her and the man lowered his back and leaned to her side, "I was thinking about this, gave you found someone you like?" he asked her, curious staying on his eyes.
