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

He Chang Min looked at Zhuang Xuan but say nothing, he took a glass of drink and raised it over to the person who asked him earlier to say, "Years have passed since our graduation, we should take this chance to enjoy ourselves." saying that, he then continued to drink with others cheering and applauding to his words because by far, he was the wealthiest and most prominent person on the table.

When everyone had resumed the dinner, He Chang Min then turn his face at Zhuang Xuan who was glaring at him with a cynic look on his eyes. "What an actor." Zhuang Xuan commented before rolling his eyes. "How do you feel now Mr. He after fooling your friend?"

"I had a change of plan." replied He Chang Min with his eyes in his chopsticks that took a piece of tofu.

"I’m sure you have plenty change of plan." Zhuang Xuan smiled at him but his eyes were doing the opposite. "Such as planning to marry then breaking the promise. Oh, right this is what you have always did so I’m not surprised."

Li Lian on the other hand, picked the fish and brought it to her plate, eating it slowly and some eyes were on her watching what she did to find themselves admiring Li Lian. He Chang Min stared at Li Lian who by far the most relaxed and unperturbed by others of his arrival. What did he expect? asked He Chang Min to himself then he shifted his eyes at the men who were also staring at Li Lian to say, "Are you not going to eat? Today will be my treat please eat however you like for our reunion sake."

Shower if thanks and praises came toward He Chang Min. Zhuang Xuan who had tore his gaze at the man who he hated the most now used his chopstick to pierce down toward a few prawns and as if he wasn’t done, he skewered them and placed it to He Chang Min’s plate, "You too, you should eat, Chang Min."

He Chang Min looked at the prawn, the food he disliked that Zhuang Xuan knew but out of purpose had placed the food to his plate. He smiled, "Thank you." and pulled the prawns to the plate, as if accepting Zhuang Xuan anger that made the man even more fuming with anger.

"Li Lian, I heard the song of your debut, it was a very amazing song! I can proudly say that I know you throughout college." said the woman who sat diagonal to Zhuang Xuan. The woman was dressed fancy and a smile was wide on her lips. Her eyes were on Li Lian but to be more precise on the dress and accessories Li Lian wore. The dress Li Lian wore in the color of white was simple and neat but the woman could tell how every items Li Lian wore was worth a gold of house, an amount that could leave other speechless.

"Thank you," Li Lian replied. Similar to how the woman know Li Lian, Li Lian also know who the woman was. One of the people who shunned her in her college. It was easy to see how influence and wealth could affect other’s opinion and view on them which was what Li Lian was experiencing now.

"Speaking of that, it’s kind of odd to see Li Lian and Chang Min not sitting together." said the man who sat parallel to the same woman who had spoke first earlier. "In the past, they hold sit together in every time they could, the perfect couple in college."

Another woman who sat beside He Chang Min scoffed, "Not everything could stay the same like before. They have moved out of each other’s life, why do you need to bring up old news?" The woman meant to support He Chang Min but instead threw salt over his wounds.

"I was reliving old memories, it’s not every day we will be together anymore, wouldn’t we?" asked the man with his shoulders raised.

Zhuang Xuan grinned, "You are correct, we are just relieving old memories but it isn’t much to think again when the memories only bring sadness. We wouldn’t want someone to get hurt over something Chang Min did in the past." he exchanged look with He Chang Min whose hand on the chopstick tightened.

Li Lian continued to eat, bringing her chopstick while the rest began to squabble. The same woman who had stayed beside He Chang Min and support him earlier frowned and her eyes were directed at Zhuang Xuan, "Isn’t it to be expected for Chang Min to choose someone over Li Lian? We all know how Li Lian doesn’t have money even for her own college. Maybe, Chang Min mist finally realized what she was aiming for isn’t him but what he has."

"Are you claiming Li Lian’s intention to date Chang Min was to has his money?" asked the other man who had spoke earlier, his tone wasn’t defending Li Lian but instead arose more talks and response to others.

"Of course I am, she has no money. You could look at how she is just eating there quietly to save her money." Harrumphed the same woman and the other woman who had want to use the chance to be in Li Lian’s good side sighed at the stupid woman’s words.

"That’s a very funny claim, Li Lian is a famous singer now and she could pay for all our dinner today." said the same man with challenge.

"Hah." The woman scoffed raising her hand she slammed the table. "If she could pay for our dinner today, I will roll on the ground and even cut my neck open!"

He Chang Min frowned at the woman who spoke too much and over her line by badmouthing Li Lian, "Miss Wan, this is not the place to speak-" He started only to be stopped at Li Lian who placed the fork aside to the glass table, creating a loud clicking sound.

When all eyes on her, she looked at the woman who had berated her and gave her a soft smile, "You shouldn’t use your words carelessly, Miss Wan. To swear and cut your neck open isn’t something you should do." A cold chill underlaid her words that made some deep down gulped on her voice.
