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

Li Lian walked out of the room, closing the door behind her, feeling her head aching a little for the little lack of sleep she suffered. Last night she waited or Li Jun Wei and being a gentleman he was, he came back to the room.

He did not ask her and that was not because he didn’t want to know what she was hiding but because he was waiting for her to tell the truth.

The room was not quiet per say as when Li Lian mustered a conversation to him, he replied without being curt though Li Lian can’t help but to feel that an invisible have been cemented between them and perhaps it was because she was aware of the lie she was keeping with.

"This is not getting any easier," whispered Li Lian to herself, pacing forth to the corridor without having any goal as to where to go in mind.

"Mistress," Violet’s voice came to her ears when she took a sharp turn in the intersection.

"Violet..." Li Lian tugged her tone, her eyes subtly shifting down to look at the appearance of her bodyguard who was armed with straps over her shoulders and waist which was the suspended for her guns. "Did you leave for a mission?" Did Li Jun Wei told her to?

"Ah? No, I just..." Violet hesitated which was clear to Li Lian’s eyes.

"Am I being intrusive?" Li Lian questioned, seeing Violet shaking her head and the tail of her braided hair swung left and right, following the direction her head went to.

"I have some problems keeping me active, so I was thinking to let off some steam," Violet patted the back of her gun from the carrier, "while honing my skill in the shooting range."

Li Lian hummed, her eyes staring at the gun and she wondered how long had she last hold a gun? She remembered how in the past Shun and Shin often practice using gun and although she studied how to use one, her grandfather who wanted her to live like a normal goal only taught her moderately; just enough for her to able to hold one and use it well.

"Can I come with you?" And while she was interested in using the gun considering the fight was tomorrow, Li Lian decided to spend her afternoon by letting out some steam as Violet had said it while trying to find her best solution over.

Violet was taken aback by the request as usually all the women who she guarded treated her more like a convenient maid than a bodyguard much less of the possibility for them to ask her whether they could come to the shooting ranger but then this was Li Lian.

When Violet nodded her head, they both left the corridor. Li Lian went to wear a more comfortable clothes when she was startled by the appearance of a handsome face right across her eyes, "Jun Wei. I thought you went with grandfather to the urgent meeting."

"Everything processed smoothly and the meeting was dismissed quickly," Li Jun Wei didn’t move, standing in between the door and her way to enter the room, "I can’t be here?"

Li Lian saw the way his eyes narrow a little as if remembering how Li Lian had lied to her and if whether she was trying to find some way to hide her lie.

Li Lian felt like a little thief but then who could she blame? she decided to face things head-ons like how she had always been.

"No, of course. I am overjoyed to see you here which is over my expectation," Li Lian answer, her cheeks pulled and turned pinker as her smile spread wider. "What are you doing now?"

"Collecting these," Li Jun Wei raised the document and Li Lian eyed it but then saw him placing aside on the cupboard. Leaning froward, he then engulf her in embrace and the sudden hug surprised her. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"What’s wrong, Jun Wei?" She thought they were in a strain term because of yesterday and to suddenly be pulled to his arm somewhere surprise her.

"I am having you to charge myself with positive energy," he said, the tip of his nose brushing to her neck which ignite something more than only warmth. "What are doing now?"

"I am thinking to leave to the shooting range with Violet," it is a good choice for them to mend what had gave them a space, thought Li Lian, "Do you want to come?"

"That’s a great idea," Li Jun Wei said after a while, and when they both entered the house, he spoke, "About Haru and Haruhi I found some reason why she took her brother’s place."

"Because he is dead?" Li Lian asked, and she leaned to believe whatever the reason was, it was negative.

"That and it appears the one who had killed the family members is not her but Haruhi. Something happen between them and strange enough I also found Wei Tsui Lan might be involved in it."

Li Lian drew her brows together, flattening her heels to stand beside Li Jun Wei, "He is?" Now that she noticed it was as if all of them were interconnected together until this fateful day.

"Amongst the bodies listed on the mortuary on the day of the attack in Akasaka Family, a nameless body came up. It was a body of a man whose face had been smashed but a blunt object," Li Jun Wei started.

"And that person is the real Haruhi," Li Lian took the word from Li Jun Wei’s mouth, seeing him nodding in agreement. "Why does Tsui Lan’s name came up?"

"This," Li Jun Wei pulled out his phone, passing it by Li Lian and her eyes immediately darted on the picture.

On the picture there were four boys, a twin that look similar to each other as if they were looking at a mirror, a boy a little older than them and another boy of the same age as the twins.

"The twins are Haru and Haruhi, to support our guess, the one we met is indeed Haru and not the older one. The one beside is someone who serve the twins. While this boy it is Tsui Lan."

"They knew each other since before," whispered Li Lian. The question was adding up and Li Lian wondered what was the true relationship Haru an Wei Tsui Lan had as it seem to her Wei Tsui Lan want to avenge his father and uncle. But what about Haru?

The contract of peace that Haru made did not make sense either. Why the woman chose her to be the piece for the trade? While Ryouma Clan is one of the most prominent clan in Osaka, they weren’t the most influential one.

As the head of Akasaka Family and the head of Tokyo, Haru could also choose a place larger than Osaka yet she was hell-bent to choose her and Osaka that she would go to the length of waiting for a year.

"I have a feeling that maybe I and them have some kind of ties," whispered Li Lian or less it won’t make sense while both Haru and Wei Tsui Lan would set their sight on her. "But I don’t remember them at all."

"Once we drag them to our side and throw them to the jail, we should know the answer soon," Li Jun Wei said, his eyes flickering, "Also, your mother and sister had been oddly quiet for the past few days."

"That’s concerning," Li Lian said. If it was others, she would not think too much of it but this was her sister and mother, both women who as ambitious enough to kill their own family member. Recalling her grandmother who is still on her bed, unconscious, Li Lian’s hands clenched in anger. "We never know what they would do, can you help me by keeping an eye on them?"

"I am on it already," Li Jun Wei smiled, reaching up his hand to rub her head. "Once everything have ended, let’s spend some times together, after the fight and the wedding."

"Honeymoon, you mean?" A sparkle settled on Li Lian’s eyes as she was excited with it, "But before that I wish to meet my grandfather and everyone in Japan."

"Of course, they were the people who let me meet you. I promise I will bring you back to them, though I will also take you again for myself. Where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere," Li Lian answered, as long as she is with him, everywhere seem like a plan to go. "Where do you want to go? We can go there."

Li Jun Wei twisted his lips, a mischief glitter his eyes as he slide his hand from the crown of her head to her back where her smooth black hair cascade down, "right now included?"

"Of course," Li Lian nodded when she felt all of a sudden his hand on her waist lowered and he spooned her bottom, picking her up to carry her leg. Li Lian was surprised but upon seeing his luscious lips, Li Jun Wei wasn’t alone in wanting the kiss.

He used his free hand to pull the back of her neck, pressing her lips and took each of them tenderly. When his hot tongue entered her, tasting her with a mischief, the sparks that ignite in Li Lian earlier set ablaze again. "This. I want to be with you. Anywhere with you is where I want to go."

"That is not a choice," whispered Li Lian back in between the kiss. When they were about to part their lips, Li Lian yelp as Li Jun Wei had bite her plump lower lips. "What did I do?"

"Revenge," Li Jun Wei replied, "You keep me busy all the time in my head by thinking about you and for the past two days, you only keep me more busy with you."
