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

Li Jun Wei narrowed his eyes, and Li Lian asked him, "How strange?"

"Something about his posture," Li Jun Wei didn’t seem to be quite understand what he said either. "He also bought the share of Li Corporation."

"What?" Li Lian gasped, worry came over her, "Isn’t that bad? How much did he buy?"

"Twenty five percent," Li Jun Wei answered, walking away to take off his suit to the nearest chair. He turned to see a deep frown on Li Lian’s brows. "He managed to buy that much shares which mean he must have pulled some string behind. I am guessing that he either threaten the previous share holders or put them in a predicament where they are cornered to choose to sell their shares to him."

"Cornered?" Li Lian questioned the odd choice of words Li Jun Wei used. "This had been on my mind, how did Haruhi managed to come to the international conference? As I remembered you told me that the conference are exclusive to only an extent people." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"He bought Tiahua company single handedly an hour before the conference was scheduled to start," answered Li Jun Wei. As soon as the conference ended, he had ordered a few of his trusted people to find out what Haruhi had done.

"Taihua company? The cosmetic company," whispered Li Lian. She didn’t remembered the name wrong. Taihua company was one of the biggest cosmetic companies around Beijing, and the company had fall to Haruhi’s hand in count of hour. How long has the man planned for this?

Li Jun Wei said, "The company was bought when the the previous CEO of the company was in a money bind. Haruhi knows this and make sure to use the chance and buy the company."

"What kind of money bind?" questioned Li Lian, wanting to learn about the details.

"The previous CEO had a heart disease and unfortunately, his only daughter also inherited the illness. No one can say if it by chance, luck, or if it was on purpose that Haruhi had waited for the day his daughter’s illness relapse. Her condition had gotten to a point where they needed a heart transplant," Li Jun Wei placed aside the gray suit to open two button from his collar and his eyes were at Li Lian as he continued, "Haruhi came with a heart for his daughter and a condition for him to hand over the company."

Li Lian frowned, doubtful at the news as it all sounds too good to be true for Haruhi’s side. It’s as if he knows how to read the future which is impossible. "He is too much. With such an offer there is no way the previous CEO wouldn’t hand him the company."

Li Jun Wei nodded wordlessly, he went to sit on the bed, reaching out his hand to call Li Lian. She walked toward him, before she stepped four steps toward the bed, Li Jun Wei pulled her to his embrace, letting her sit on her laps.

He placed his nose on the crook of her shoulders, softly breathing in as his hand tightly wrapped on her waist. Li Lian’s heart drummed fast with the sudden shift of position which she wasn’t prepared for. Feeling the tightness of his hand on her waist which was strong but not enough to make her feel it was painful, her question came from her lips, "Are you still angry? I really don’t feel anything about him you know. I was surprised, but not interested."

"I know," Li Jun Wei replied, his voice was low, "I just feel a little frustrated. If only that day I was the person who saved you," he drawled, letting his words end with a sigh.

"Can you release me a little?" Li Lian felt his hand loosened on her waist not entirely but enough to make her shift her position. When she finally turned her body half-way in a position enough to see his face, she reached out her hand to hold his shoulders, "Whether that day it was you or someone else who helped me, I don’t think there will be a change. I am happy with you, you are the best person I can hope to be with me for the rest of my life. That boy might have helped me, and now I only feel thankful to him. There is no romance in it."

"I know," Li Jun Wei replied again, his face moved from her shoulders to look at her face, admiring her features and her expressive sky-like eyes. "I know what you are thinking which why I didn’t ride to Haruhi’s provocations. It seems he knows that you have been searching for a person in the past."

"But I don’t think it is him," responded Li Lian. She doesn’t have evidence to back up her words, but she knows that the boy who saved her was Li Jun Wei. "I believe that same boy who saved me was you. I know it sounded strange, but I feel that it is you."

"No, it doesn’t sound strange, I also have my own doubt that boy was me. But my grandparents are hiding that fact," Li Jun Wei brought his hand toward one of her thigh, pulling her up to make her sit better on his legs. The light touch made Li Lian to shudder, but the conversation was too serious for her to make any expression about how his touch manage to turn her on slightly. "They might also hide the fact that I was in Japan for once in the past. I retrace all evidence of whether or not I left the country at that year, but weirdly enough there wasn’t anything. Did you tell grandmother not to solve the misunderstanding toward Jin Family?"

Li Lian responded with a diligent nod, "I told her that I will personally tell them it was a misunderstanding. Grandmother agreed, she says that misunderstanding is best solve when the two people who are involved talked out about it."

"I agree," Li Jun Wei said and before he could speak more, his phone suddenly rang out, taking the attention of the two. Li Lian’s eyes moved from the phone that was placed on the table beside the bed toward him. A faint frown came on Li Jun Wei’s brows as whoever called him had disturb their time. "I will take it."

Li Lian moved from her place, letting Li Jun Wei to answer the call.
