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

"It would be great if we could talk again later, I had fun talking with you," said the singer who had been talking with Li Lian earlier with a kind smile. Li Lian found the woman who had spoken with her to be a person easy to talk to.

"If there is another chance." Li Lian returned the woman’s smile to leave the place when she noticed how Xie Hue Lin walk toward her with her expression smiling. Li Lian could tell how there was no fear anymore on her sister’s face but a different expression had taken a place on her expression.

"Sister," Xie Hue Lin called her the words again, meaning their talk now was not as singers but sisters. But were they truly sisters?

"It makes me happy you call me that," Li Lian smiled, her words doesn’t come in the meaning she seemed to say. Xie Hue Lin could call her sister but she would never see her like one. "But I am not your sister, I would like it if you wouldn’t call me that any longer."

Xie Hue Lin didn’t want to call her sister either and was happy to know they had the same feeling of distaste to each other. "Will you be attending grandmother’s birthday tomorrow?"

"Of course I will, and I hope everyone is in great health," Li Lian can’t have them fall from sickness before they felt the same pain she had.

"They are surely in a great health. I would be happy to wait for you to come home. There will be a little announcement that would be make in the party, an announcement that are worth of celebrating," Xie Hue Lin then smiled before leaving Li Lian. She clenched her hand. If ’that’ person could not kill Li Lian, she had no choice but to kill Li Lian herself by her own means which she could use in her disposal.

Li Lian wondered what announcement that made Xie Hue Lin very happy but she wasn’t too curious. The program than started and Li Lian’s heart was elated from her first win. Holding the glass trophy, Li Lian thanked the people who had supported her and her fans. She would like to say Li Jun Wei’s name and to make it happen, she would have to put her plan in action.

As they left the company, Li Lian and Wei Mo Ran was in the car to go home. "Do you think I would receive a lot of money from the song?" asked Li Lian and the question had Wei Mo Ran wondered what Li Lian was thinking. If it was about money, doesn’t Li Lian have it endless for being Lu Jun Wei’s wife? But then this was Li Lian they talked of.

"About three million yuan in the first week, you could expect it to grow about fifteen million yuan by the end of the first month, that is without the next months and month after. Not to forget, your OST song as the movie would come next week."

Counting that, Li Lian could have almost more than twenty million yuan. It was time for her to put her plan to move, thought Li Lian to herself.

In the next afternoon, Li Lian wore a white dress and tie her hair into a pony tail. She took the present Li Xiao Chen gave her before stepping out alone from the house to attend her grandmother’s birthday party. It had been months since she saw her parents and she didn’t feel any eagerness to meet them, knowing that they would never welcome her presence except for her beloved grandmother.

Li Lian opened her phone, staring at it. Li Jun Wei said he would come with her but would he be able to with how busy he was? Li Lian was worried if he slept well as he seemed to have almost little to no hour to rest.

Stepping out from the car, she entered the house to see how there were a lot of people gathering around the entrance. They all saw Li Lian in awe, many seeming to know her while some recalled her to be the outcasted daughter who had brought troubles to he house.

Li Lian stared at the house with a passive expression, remembering how the house was the very same house where she had lived on before she died.

"Oh," gasped a maid beside Li Lian that had her eyes shifted from the door to the woman.

Well look who this is, Li Lian thought to herself, pulling a smile to greet the maid, "You are Hue Lin’s best maid, Qing, was it?"

Qing the maid who looked at her had expression as of she had just seen a ghost. It wasn’t a surprise after all she had died to their ears without knowing how she was alive.

"Why are you here?" Qing asked with a defensive expression. Li Lian recalled the maid. She was the same girl who had followed Xie Hue Lin everywhere she went. When she first came to the house, the maid sweetened her, making Li Lian to believe she had no bad intention to belatedly realized how the maid had worked for Xie Hue Lin’s order.

In the past, the maid put a pendant to her pocket, accuse her of stealing something that came from the house itself when she was the lady of the house. It was dryly funny how her parents scolded her for stealing after believing the maid’s words than her.

"Is that how you speak to a guest?" Li Lian raised her eyebrow at the maid and heard how the maid scoffed at her.

"You maybe a guest but you are not accepted here!" Qing rolled her eyes at Li Lian.

This had never happened in Li Jun Wei’s house, everyone treated her warmly which reminded her of the contrasting difference between the house where she was born from and the house where Li Jun Wei was. Thinking of it, Li Lian felt her heart warm. It was ironic of how the house where her blood related family lived gave her an indescribable uncomfortable expression but others’ house could give her a warm emotion.
