My Husband Is The Emperor: I Woke Up With A Husband - Volume 1 Chapter 473 454

Li Lian’s sight was covered by a large and broad back. She stared at the person whose face remain a question to her as she wasn’t able to look at his face earlier. From behind she heard a series of stomping feet from the two women who was standing before the man. When Fu Wanxi and her clique realized how much they might have stained their name, the two left the place without putting a fight that surprised Li Lian as she knew to how these people were; they were like leeches who once bite into a person’s skin and would never let go no matter what the consequences were. Yet they left so easily like soap bar falling from a hand.

“T-Thank you,” said Li Lian to the unknown person. Who was he? came the next question that popped to her mind.

“It’s fine; you should be careful and never be alone. People like them would always find your weaknesses,” and that was all their exchanges was as the man left the place like a brush of a wind.

Li Lian tried to stop the man but the crowd of people turned into hills that covered her and the man and she had no choice but to stop searching him through the busy path. Li Lian then left the place to find other places to have fun. When she was done with all attraction as there was still a lot of time for her, she decided to visit the haunted house which she avoided some times ago.

Entering inside the haunted house, it was less scary than what she imagined it to be and maybe it was because of the unrealistic looking blood and mannequins around the place that she didn’t find it to be scary.

Halfway through, a person dressed in black spoke, “Please enter this room to exit.”

“That quickly?” Li Lian questioned and here she was in the mood to feel something scarier but the haunted house didn’t manage to scare her for a bit. Without question, Li Lian entered the room.

Her light brown eyes ventured around the room, expecting for light to come now that she had stepped her feet to the exit doors yet instead it was locked close and giggles came from the outside door that belonged to girls. Li Lian run toward the room, kicking it once. No! They trapped me! thought Li Lian. She had thought she was careful and yet this happen suddenly.

“It’s no use wasting your time by kicking the door, they are quite sturdy as it is the emergency door,” came a voice that stopped her heartbeat in surprise.

Li Lian snapped her eyes wide at the person behind her, “Who are you? Name yourself!” She demanded. No way… could that girls hired men to assault her? She knew how dangerous it was to let her guard down which she did now and had to face consequences for it.

“I am not on those people’s side who had locked you here. Instead, I am a victim who now was locked just because I was looking around the place.”

“Really?” Li Lian wasn’t naive enough to suddenly believe a stranger’s words.

“You can choose not to believe me and I will sit here,” the man announced and he indeed took a seat. Li Lian waited for him to speak but he didn’t and seemed like someone who prefer quietness.

For a moment her mind was filled with question, causing her to stand on her toes until she finally moved and reached out her phone to make call and yet no matter how many times she tried to call He Chang Min or Zhuang Xuan, she received no reply or answer from the other side.

“It’s difficult to have catch the signal here,” said the man again, his voice once again startled her. “I have tried calling before you and nothing worked.”

“Ah, okay,” and Li Lian sighed, she didn’t know why she felt her feet had stepped into a very thin ice with the man’s presence in the room, causing her to need and stand carefully on the ice ground out of fear it would break and she would fall.

“I won’t bite you, take a seat. Standing will only waste your energy,” the man spoke again with a gentle offering tone which she noticed to be less stricter than before as if he was trying to lessen her tension.

“Thank you but I really need to leave soon. There is a concern that I have to attend,” Li Lian spoke hurriedly, she could see the window near them at the same time her eyes stopped at the window, her thoughts were pulled by the man’s voice.

“You wouldn’t want to try jumping from the window. It’s the fourth floor.”

Li Lian knew she was a very headstrong and reckless person but never did such a thought came to her, “I won’t jump from the window. I know it’s dangerous.” Did he thought she was some kind of a new breed monkey? What did she do that make her looked that barbaric?! While she is indeed a tomboy, she wasn’t very unladylike enough to jump from the fourth floor like a cat.

“Really? Well your expression betrayed you,” said the man and when he chuckled, she could hear the faint breathy air from his laughter that was peaceful.

Li Lian drew her brows, “No lights are here; how can you see what expression I am wearing when I cannot even see your expression?”

“Maybe that’s our difference. I can see you,” said the man and tapping sound accompanied his voice that Li Lian could feel coming from his fingers that played a tune on the floor. “The room lack lights here but the lights from the window is enough to help me to look at you, though it might be hard for your whose eyes aren’t used to the darkness. When is your concert?”

How seamless he could change the conversation thought Li Lian, “Around two.”

“There is still half an hour more. Take a seat and rest easy, in around twenty minutes my men would come and find me if I don’t come back, they would help us to leave this place. What’s your name?”

And once again, he had asked her in the most quickest and smooth way, Li Lian perused, “Xie Lilian.”

“Lilian,” the man repeated her name, when the words glided from his lips, a different sensation struck Li Lian like electricity. “It’s a good name, it suits you.”
