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

He Chang Min stood in front of Li Lian and he took his breaths with his eyes slowly calming down. The past days, He Chang Min spend his time to think, to find words, and his mistakes. His hand clenched when his eyes met Li Lian’s black one. Once again, he reminded himself of the person who he had ruined.

"One year ago, it was all my mistake, you were right after all." He Chang Min started and Li Lian gave him an unimpressed look. "I knew about your past, I just found out about it from Xuan a few weeks ago."

Li Lian’s eyes darted from the spot she had been seeing at him, "I see." She also thought it was odd for Zhuang Xuan to suddenly searched about her background. Knowing Zhuang Xuan, he believes in her and wouldn’t do it unless someone put him to move and it was He Chang Min.

She brought her hands and crossed her arm in front of her chest, "Is that all you want to tell me?" Li Lian went straight to the matter, she wouldn’t want to stay at the same place continuously repeating this conversation with He Chang Min. It was because he said for the last time did she agree so in the future there would be no him anymore who would constantly get on her way.

He Chang Min clenched his hand, his lips he clamped open to say, "I want to help your revenge."

Li Lian drew her brows, she snapped her eyes at He Chang Min to see the stern eye he gave as if he was determined to see his words through. "For what? Is this your way to apologize?"

"Part of it." He Chang Min spoke, "The truth is, before your death I still have many things I haven’t told you yet. The truth." said He Chang Min. As their conversation started, the black car that stopped from the hospital began to move on the way to the hotel where Li Lian was.

Li Lian drew her brows, "What are you saying?" What truth? Li Lian questioned herself. Was there still things she didn’t know yet?

"It’s starts with my parents. They don’t want me to get married to you." stated He Chang Min, and Li Lian didn’t like speaking with him because of the past he brought. "I insist and fortunately seeing how grandmother Xie loves you, they let be married to you and that was a year before I studied abroad."

It was what Li Lian know, so far there was no holes in the stories or twist.

He Chang Min continued to say, "Then at the same time for no reason Xie Hue Lin followed me, abroad. As you know I slept with her but it wasn’t what I meant to do. A day before that I received a news you would come to visit me."

On the words, Li Lian huhed, "Visit? I have never been able to visit you."

"No, I received a letter of your own handwritings which was why I believed it was you. But then I fell drunk even though I didn’t drink any alcohol." He Chang Min then raised his face at Li Lian, "Do you know who was by my side after that? Xie Hue Lin."

Li Lian frowned heading this, "Do you mean she used you?" asked Li Lian. All this time she thought they were so passionately in burning love, after all He Chang Min enver showed any sign of him being forced by Xie Hue Lin. They had kissed in front of her many times and it was hard to believe it, she didn’t find Xie Hue Lin’s surprising as her sister was twisted beyond repair that a hundred times people tried to fix her she was unsaveable since the beginning.

He Chang Min shook his head to say, "That’s not the end. She guilt tripped me which I swear to God I rejected her. The plan worsen when I came back to my family. They forced me to marry Hue Lin. A day before I came back, I learned that Hue Lin didn’t do it alone, my mother had a hand on her plan. She told where I live, my passwords, and everything." Recalling it all He Chang Min brought his hand to his chest, heaving his breaths harshly and Li Lian went a step forward.

"Then what does this have to do with everything?" she asked, "You could have rejected it."

He Chang Min squeezed his hand on the shirt above his chest, "Not when they use you. My mother, do you know who she is?"

Li Lian shook her head. She only seen Mrs. He two times and at those two times, she was viewed as bad and had always receive bad judgement that had Mrs. He not wanting to talk to her or even be in the same room with her. Let alone her full name, Li Lian didn’t know it.

"You never know because he never speaks at you." He Chang Min said, "My mother, she is not a Chinese born woman, she is a mix of a Japanese. Like you, she is a daughter of a yakuza."

Li Lian narrowed her eyes on his words, "What?" Was this a coincidence? "Your mother, she didn’t like me because she knows who I am." Li Lian uttered in disbelief,

He Chang Min gave himself a pathetic smile. "I knew this just a few days ago. Xuan helped me to find out about it. She wants you gone, your family." Li Lian’s eyes went toward Zhuang Xuan who had moved from the pillar he leaned when he saw He Chang Min rubbing his chest. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

As much as Li Lian dislike the man, she could not watch him groaning in pain with his breaths labored either. With still a frown on her forehead, she asked, "Where is your medicine?"

"It’s here." He Chang Min said pulling his own bottle of medicine he always brought with him on his pocket. Since in the beginning of their relationship that had ended, He Chang Min had always put to a labored breathing whenever he was under stress or intense emotions. Li Lian watched him drank the medicine her hand tightening the hold on her forearms.
