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

Taking the envelop to her hand, Li Lian exchange a brief gaze with Li Jun Wei before ripping the seal. Taking out the document, her eyes first narrow on the name of the group which was Anyue, then falling the picture pasted on the second page. Li Jun Wei spoke before she did, beating her by a second when she was about to whisper the name.

"Wei Tsui Lan," Li Jun Wei said with his eyes narrowing, and a small toneless chuckle leave his lips. He didn’t find it anywhere to be close to funny, instead it felt like he had been fooled. All this time to know the enemy was near them, sneaking under their nose without their awareness, make his jaw to tick in anger.

Li Lian’s expression was marred with a deeper shock. She knew Wei Tsui Lan was strange, but never did she expect him to be the person who they were searching for— the people who had been wanting to kill them. He was so near to her and all this time the man managed to never make himself look like a killer. "This fucker," Li Lian cursed under her breaths, finally having her last thread of anger to snap on the back of her mind. To think the person was this close and she had saved him from near-death situation. Li lian in fact, didn’t regret she had saved Wei Tsui Lan. To save others were right and her action wasn’t anywhere wrong. It was Wei Tsui Lan the problem.

She then shifted her eyes to look at Li Jun Wei whose black eyes had turned icy. "When will we kill him?" asked Li Lian

"As soon as possible," Li Jun Wei replied without the slightest hesitation because to him hesitation is not needed in order to protect Li Lian. "We need to put those people at rest for you to take a breath."

Li Lian took a hold of his sleeve, her eyes were sharp in determination and staring at her,

Li Jun Wei could see his own reflection held capture by her eyes, "Will you be going personally?" And Li Jun Wei nodded. Wei Tsui Lan was careful and it could be seen from the way he had hired another assassin to kill the assassin he sent to kill them. He personally wish to stay beside Li Lian but know that coming there would be an easier task than leaving it to others. "I will come with you," Li Lian announced.

"No," Li Jun Wei immediately deny her request. "It will be dangerous there."

"My life is already dangerous, Jun Wei," Li Lian answered, showing him a tight smile.

Li Jun Wei felt prickle as his heart squeeze from the words Li Lian said where she acknowledged it to herself that her life was filled with thorn. He touched her cheeks, his eyes filled with concerned and care, "But not when you are with me. I will bring his head to you."

"I don’t need his head, I just want to come with you— be there beside you. It’s not my style to wait you know," and Li Lian pulled only one side of her red lips, pulling a seductive smile, "And I shine the most in battlefield."

Li Jun Wei who still had frowned then laughed at her statement, his lips went to a wide spread but he didn’t immediately agree. Only after seeing Li Lian’s desire to partake did he nod. Li Lian jumped with happiness, she just had the feeling in her heart that whatever she wish for, Li Jun Wei would give it instantly to her hands— to the extent that almost worries her. If one day were to come where she ask him Li Jun Wei life, she fears he would do so.

"Can I fight?" Li Lian asked as they stood up from the chair, leaving the cafe with the two gravely important documents on their hand which could be use to end two people at once.

"You told me you shine the most in battlefield," Li Jun Wei answered, it wasn’t that he didn’t worry about bringing Li Lian to the fight where people would be wound or worse case, dead. Li Jun Wei didn’t want to restrict Li Lian because he know what kind of rose Li Lian was, she was a rose with thorn— a rose that know how to protect herself. "And if in case anything comes to harm you, I will be there."

"I love you," Li Lian blurted, faster than she even think of. She didn’t retract her words, instead smiling widely when meeting how Li Jun Wei’s eyes curve very softly, in a way that almost stopped her heart. Without him knowing, Li Lian noticed how the bystanders who passed by them also felt attacked by his sweet smile where some couldn’t tear their gazes away from him, causing him to be the center of attention.

Noticing the gazes, Li Lian find herself pouting her lips and shook her head to stop herself. A soft sensation fell on her head and she looked up to see Li Jun Wei placing a hat on her head which he took from his bodyguard, "We should go home now."

Li Lian nodded, hyped to go home and have some cuddly time with Li Jun Wei only to stop her feet as a phone call was made to her. Li Jun Wei squinted his eyes to the phone number, reading it as a name YuanLenglun. "Who is that?" Li Jun Wei asked, not with doubt but curiosity.

"Someone who my grandmother trust the most in Xie Company, I will answer the phone," Li Lian said before quickly dialing to pick the call.

The voice used by the person on the other side of the phone was quite in a haste. He spoke quickly, "Young Miss, we are having a trouble in the company. It’s about your parents."

"My parents?" Li Lian could already feel her hand tightening in a fist upon hearing her parents. "What do they do this time?"

"T-They were speaking about inheritance...and the right of who this company would belong to," answered the man, and Li Lian’s eyes that had been cleared with happiness a moment ago quickly clouded with a sheer ire.

"I will be there," she said, before looking at Li Jun Wei. Both her and him knew about her family relationship. To think that Mr. and Mrs. Xie were her parents cause Li Lian to feel ashamed. In such a difficult time, all that the two could think was inheritance. When her grandmother was fighting for her life!

"I need to go," Li Lian said, her eyes in a hurry and worry.

"Violet is not here, bring my bodyguards with you," Li Jun Wei then ordered his people to go. Li Lian was about to leave when Li Jun Wei surprised her by stealing her a quick kiss from her lips. "Destroy them."

Li Lian’s anger suddenly touched an extinguisher. Anger was still clear in her heart but her head that was filled with anger now had turned calmer, helping her to think using a clearer mind, "I will. Watch me."

Far in a different building, Wei Tsui Lan stood before the window of an empty floor. His eyes fell on the window that showcased the buildings and roads below the building. His eyes dazed at the view listlessly with a cruel glint dabbing over his brown eyes. Plucking one petals over another, he took the last blue petals from the rose. His smile widened when he released the rose and only felt satisfied once he stepped over the blue petals that were scattered on the ground.

"She should have died faster, what’s the condition in Japan?" Wei Tsui Lan asked when he turned his face at the man whose face was unable to be seen as he had stood in a place that cause shadows to cover his face.

"Clear. Currently in Tokyo, we have successfully induce other groups that Akasaka Haruhi is running away from Japan in fear of getting caught in crossfire."

"And that would be enough reason for their trust in him to crumble. How is Ye group? I heard he is on the opposing side of Suan Lung’s successor. On that topic, this man will soon be the head of Chinese Mafia but I am yet to hear his name."

"His name is Wang Li Lei. A businessman on the surface. A troublesome man. He seems to follow what Suan Lung’s motto of being a toothless tiger, tsk," the man clicked his tongue in anger. "We— the mafia work against justice, but instead, Suan Lung team up with police."

"Even if you say that, you are not different than them, unable to do anything. A toothless tiger," laughed Wei Tsui Lan mockingly, "But that’s fine. I like toothless tigers better than tiger who bark at the wrong tree. Just like those two, Akasaka Haruhi and Li Jun Wei. They still don’t know the limit and not to bite more than they could chew. Prepare the plan on move, by now I am sure Haruhi and Li Lian has gone on plan."

"At first I was concerned if you have truly taken a liking to that woman," when Wei Tsui Lan raised her brows, the man continued, "Yue Li Lian."

"I am interested in her, but I learned that robbing is easier than capturing. It would be great if I can have Li Lian alive, but if she died, that’s also fine," Wei Tsui Lan answered, his words hold no weigh of guilty or hesitation. "Do your work well and I will repay you handsomely. I don’t like mistakes."

"I have never make mistake," answered the man cockily before he left the place and Wei Tsui Lan turned his face to the window once again, his smile spreading even wider with ruthlessness.
