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

Li Lian rested her body on top of Li Jun Wei’s chest, her eyes had been shut closed like a bird who had her beauty sleep. Li Jun Wei’s eyes followed her lips that were parted and his finger traced on the pink seam, his eyes couldn’t tear away from her just like the first day he had met her.

Seeing Li Lian sleeping under his bare chest his eyes softened, feeling a delight that he had never found before. Even though he knew he was at home, there had never been such a feeling that was so delightful as though he had just came back from a very far place to finally a place that he belonged.

He pulled the blanket over her nape, to cover her skin that was exposed as her she was very lightly clothed with only her undergarments. He didn’t want Li Lian to catch a cold during the very important time where she needed her upmost health and energy against her family who were now bloodthirstily hunting for her— for her wealth and the company that she took upon herself that right belonged to her.

It was during the busy days of Li Lian that Li Jun Wei found her progressing. Others might thought she was a strong woman from baby but Li Jun Wei knew well of how kind she was— sometimes too kind that it resulted in people using her like chess piece— ready to dispose at any time. When he found the reason for her to change was due to his involvement, he felt as if clouds were beneath his feet. He could never expect that fate would give him a chance.

In the past he dreamt having her in his arms, wrapped on his embrace with their bodies entertained like what took place minutes ago for three times until Li Lian fell asleep due to her lack of sleep; and it felt surreal to think the woman who only appear on his dream at night was to be on his arm now

He still cannot forget his anger of her accident that costed a year of her life, but Li Jun Wei felt that the trigger for them to be together was the very accident. It was a terrible one, and had filled Li Lian with many scars and although wrong, he was thankful that accident happen before she fall to deeper into the abyss of people who wanted to use her, as it would only leave her with more deep scars he wasn’t sure he could heal as he proudly said earlier.

Now that she was freed from his parent’s cruel method of ’loving’ and her sister’s lay of mouse trap every one millimeters she walk on, her wings were set free that some times he feared she would forget the ground.

A cruel emotion called anxiety sometimes didn’t appear due to distrust, it often happen due to deep love spices with some case of his past where he had lost his parents on one of the happiest moments of his young life that lead Li Jun Wei to somewhere fear and expected that his happy day would come to an end. The feeling disappear when Li Lian was with him but it still became a threat to him to know that Li Lian’s life was in danger. Now that he knew who was it that wish to attack Li Lian, he didn’t need to wait before shoving the man into the edge of the cliff and die. Unlike his habit of pushing people to their despair, Li Jun Wei chose a more direct effort of killing Wei Tsui Lan himself as he didn’t see the need to wait. He had some score to settle and he would repay it back million fold.

"Have a sweet dream," whispered Li Jun Wei as his fingers explore Li Lian’s deep brown hair. "My love." He turned off the light, letting his tired wife to have a better sleep with the darkness.

Li Lian finds herself in a dreamland as soon as her head landed on the pillow after the exercise which she did before bed. In her dream, Li Lian was walking through her old college. The entrance was particularly filled with people that day, some who was form the college, their relatives, and visitors who was interested to enroll on the college next year.

Amongst everyone, Li Lian was alone, holding ice creams until she saw He Chang Min sitting underneath the tree, and waved her hand, "Here for you," she said, offering the ice cream and sat down beside him, "So how did it goes on your side?"

"I’m busted," sighed He Chang Min, "We have been standing in the stage for three hours and performed for only five minutes but it felt like eternity. I was afraid that time had stopped and I was fixed to stand all day under the sun forever."

"That’s why we got this," came another voice and a cooled water bottle was pressed to Li Lian’s cheeks.

"Zhuang Xuan!" Yelped Li Lian from the sudden coldness she felt on her cheeks. "You are crazy! What did you do?! It’s cold!"

"I thought said it was hot?" Zhuang Xuan subjectively question while he continue to push the bottled on her which added a frown on her forehead.

"It’s Chang Min who said it was hot. If you don’t stop now..."

"Okay! I got it," Zhuang Xuan pulled the water bottle and tossed it toward He Chang Min who nimbly caught the water bottle at once. "So how is our beautiful princess? You must be very nervous about going into the stage soon, right?"

"Zhuang Xuan," He Chang Min’s eyes pointed at Zhuang Xuan’s hands that familiarly squeezed Li Lian’s hands, "She is my girlfriend, could you stop touching her as you please."

"Oh please, this is gesture between friend and if one have to ask whether I like women or men better..." Zhuang Xuan drawled with a meaningful smile. He then turn to look at Li Lian who had gotten silent all of a sudden, finding her lips pursed as if to stop her grin from spreading too wide to expose her emotions right now. Seeing the sight, Zhuang Xuan can’t help but chuckle.

Not far from them was a man who had just stepped down from his car, wearing his casual clothing consisting of a black long sleeve turtleneck sweater, he snuck into the background of the three people without them noticing and he didn’t noticed anyone of the three either as he continue to pass by the path.
