My Husband Is The Emperor: I Woke Up With A Husband - Volume 1 Chapter 438 419

The night before Li Jun Wei left to the hotel where he was about to be drugged, the moon was high in the sky but was engulfed with black clouds that heavily filled the sky as if it was mourning for the loss of the stars or someone else’s happiness that and their heart that broke in the sadness of betrayal.

“Do you not believe what you see?” asked the person from the call whose voice was deep, and no one could mistaken the voice to belong to someone else than Li Jun Wei’s.

“No,” she sobbed, her eyes turned bloodshot red from the tears that kept shedding from her eyes as if the wall of her tear dam had broken, causing the tears that she didn’t know she had a lot in her to flood, “I do. I have seen everything,” whispered Linyue, “I thought before he belongs to the category of the few people who I could trust and I believed him.”

“I know,” replied Li Jun Wei, “Betrayal would never happen if you don’t trust the person, to begin with. I understand Linyue. I have only my hunch with me in the beginning.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” came Linyue’s question which he had expected.

“Would you have believed me if I had said this directly to you, Linyue? If you remembered what I have said to you in the past, you would have noticed the signs I gave out. You were one of the most clever women I have met and even though Suzheng had been smart enough, it would have been easy for you to know how long he had cheated on you. But you didn’t. Why?”

Linyue didn’t reply, she knew somewhere that what Li Jun Wei had said was correct. She was aware of the answer to Li Jun Wei’s question but she couldn’t bring herself to reply to it. Li Jun Wei continued, “I also know you have never loved Suzheng.”

A gasp escaped faintly from Linyue’s mouth which she barely could let it to leave as she muffled her mouth with her hands.

“Our youngest cousin told me everything about it, including that you have never once loved Suzheng. Your family persuades and urges you to the marriage with Suzheng and you see him as the person who could help you escape from the pain of being left by your late lover. You didn’t love him but I also know how much of affection you shared with him by choosing him as your husband. But it was wrong,” Li Jun Wei revealed slowly the innermost emotions which was inside Linyue and she was surprised because although she often shared her worry with him, it wasn’t much until Li Jun Wei could conclude everything right on the mark.

“Do you blame me?” Linyue was used to be blamed by her family. When she closed her eyes, she could feel her mother and father’s comment which would ring to her ears if they were about to learn Suzheng’s affair. Instead of blaming Suzheng, they would blame her, and question why she couldn’t capture her husband’s interest. It had been that way since the past where her parents would rather be on the outsider’s side than hers which made her always at fault and vulnerable.

“I don’t,” Li Jun Wei answered steadily, “I am on your side, Linyue,” he assured, as he was aware of Linyue’s background. “I blame Suzheng and I don’t have any right to blame you who is hurt the most in this situation. I cannot express how guilty I am for letting him marry you even if it wasn’t my business. But a marriage that you started on the wrong foot with you and Suzheng each having their own goal instead of love, it was bound to end soon and now is better than later.” Knowing how Linyue was heartbroken, Li Jun Wei used the softest words he had so he won’t cause another wound on Linyue who didn’t deserve any of this pain.

“I still have one more question,” said Linyue. She felt very tired due to the amount of crying she makes in the last four hours after seeing with her own eyes the affair she caught her husband with after following him to the hotel with another woman whom she knew, and also because of how much pain she went through after being betrayed and lied to. “I won’t tell you what it is but will you help me?”

“If it is to confront Suzheng I will and I can do more than that,” Li Jun Wei replied, leaning back on his car, waiting for Linyue to steel her heart and make a decision.

Back to the present, Li Lian entered the house which was built resplendently. It appeared that even though Mr. Jin didn’t participate fully in Li’s corporation and had his own housing company, he indeed was rich enough to waste his money on the houses that looked pretty recently made as the walls were still freshly painted which reminded her of Mrs. Jin’s last floating of buying a new house which she ensured would be more luxurious than her previous house.

‘I will invite you there next time, Li Lian,’ was the offer that Mrs. Jin made when she acted as if she was on her side last time. Who could guess she would indeed come to the house but in a different way?

“Jun Wei, you are going too far!!” A sudden scream brought Li Lian from her moment of thought. She could almost immediately identify whose voice it was but hearing Li Jun Wei’s name was more of the trigger for her to quickly enter the room in which her husband was at.

“If this is going too far, you are faint-hearted uncle. I am just starting,” Li Jim Wei answered and Li Lian who entered saw him sitting on a chair on her left side with his elbows settled on his knees. His eyes coldly looked down on Jin Family members who were forced to kneel on the ground.

It was then when Li Lian who stood next to the door noticed a missing family member of Jin, Suzheng. When she fully pushed her body inside the room did she saw Suzheng in the corner with his face bloody as if someone had punched him.

Finally noticing her, Li Jun Wei lifted his eyes that were fierce with boiling ire, “Li Lian,” he called with his eyes slightly taken aback.
