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

Watching what happened right across her eyes, Li Lian couldn’t resist closing her eyes with her hands. Through some gaps of her fingers, she watched Li Xiao Chen and Violet’s interaction and wondered if this was a good start for their relationship?

Was it only her who didn’t know Li Xiao Chen aiming for Violet? Li Lian admitted that she had discovered the two exchanging gazes that never met. Some times it would be Li Xiao Chen who stared at Violet’s back, but the moment Li Xiao Chen’s gaze break to look somewhere aside, Li Lian noticed Violet be the one turning her gaze to look at him.

Yet despite the closure, Li Lian watched now she could see the distance. It was often told that the third person sees more than the people who are involved in an action, and it was what Li Lian felt. Li Xiao Chen was making a move, the atmosphere was romantic, Violet seemed happy by the smile, but there was something Li Lian couldn’t put her finger to where she felt that they weren’t as happy as their smile showed. It almost seemed as if they were fighting...

After some decision on whether to leave the place or not, Li Lian’s curiosity won and she continued to become a bystander for a little longer time.

"And what do you mean by not kind?" Violet questioned him, her eyes falling from his neck to his eyes. "There are many definitions of bad, and from what I see you are far from the words."

"You are provoking me," Li Xiao Chen took his face back to take a better look at Violet’s face. "You know what I mean by not kind. You seem to know it already but I will reiterate to you again, not all males in this world would let this chance pass."

"But you don’t. Does that mean you are not a male?" Violet retorted to have the smile on Li Xiao Chen’s lips twitch. "What kind of chance do you mean?" she pulled her hand to her lips, "Kiss me?"

"Yes."

"Then try. There is a beautiful woman in front of you, and I don’t think I am lacking anything," Violet reached out her hand and let her finger trailed from the curve of his shoulder to the plane of his chest. "Unless I am not attractive enough for you?"

Li Xiao Chen’s hand stopped her from walking any further and touch his chest. His smile tilted with one side raising higher, "No," his hand took Violet’s chin, trailing one finger bellow, "You are a very attractive woman, one of the women I’ve ever seen before."

Violet’s smile subtly raised higher at the words she said, "Well then, is it hard to resist kissing me?"

"Very," whispered Li Xiao Chen to her words, his face leaned forward. For a moment seeing Li Xiao Chen’s face getting closer to her, the smile Violet had fallen for a moment. She guessed Li Xiao Chen would be different which why she had tested him, but it seemed she was once again wrong... In the end, all man came back to their nat-

"Aw!" Violet yelled, holding to her forehead that Li Xiao Chen tested his strength on. His eyes looked at Violet and she noticed the subtle frown forming in between his forehead.

"Did you think I would do that? I might not be the best man out there, but I wouldn’t also kiss people outside a relationship. I had been wondering about you," Li Xiao Chen honestly confessed, "I thought about reasons why you teased me. Was it out of spite for the words I said to you in our first meeting? Or was it because I seemed fun to play with?"

Violet didn’t reply, and she could only stare at Li Xiao Chen who spoke. She was still surprised and stunned by the headbutt and it took her time to do anything but hear Li Xiao Chen’s words. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"But then while watching you, I thought that that wasn’t all the reason you have," Li Xiao Chen didn’t waste his time watching Violet like a dumbstruck puppy. For the past few days, he had been searching for her emotions which she always masked under her clever smile.

There was no doubt that Violet was a gorgeous woman. She had an extremely beautiful face that would make anyone look at her twice then unable to look away. But for Li Xiao Chen, who works in an entertainment company, he was somewhat immune to the charm a woman had. He admitted that they were beautiful but the lone factor wasn’t enough to get him lovestruck.

He looked at Violet whose hand was still on her forehead. "Then I came up with a theory that you weren’t teasing me. You were testing me," Li Xiao Chen noticed Violet’s finger on her forehead begin to twitch. Even though her shocked expression didn’t say anything, her behavior did tell hi the answer. "You might know this already, but I meet many women daily, not as lovers but for work. I see them to the point that I know how women often hide what they truly feel under their smiles. As a person, I am also proud to say I am pretty good at reading people, and you are also good at hiding things which why it took me days to learn this."

Violet finally got a hold of herself, fixing her expression she questioned him, "Learn what?"

"I learn that despite your strong face, your confident behavior, and your self-reliant smile, deep down you are scared of something. And that’s the reason why you tested me by kissing or not kissing you here now, don’t you?" Li Xiao Chen took a step forward, he noticed how Violet was unruffled by his words, and watching her looking surprised and flustered than before had his smile reaching higher at the gap she in her cold character.

"You know, what you are doing is not enough to have someone to kiss you, although if I have to be honest I was on edge."

"Then why didn’t you kiss me? There were many people who fell for this trick," Violet asked him, her eyes stared intently to Li Xiao Chen.

Li Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, "You mean you are letting them to kiss you?" They had known each other for few days but he could feel the annoyance that circled inside his heart on her words.
