My Husband Is The Emperor: I Woke Up With A Husband - Volume 1 Chapter 476 457

Li Lian’s eyes drowsily open to stare at the white ceiling above her head. She felt an itch on her leg and pulled her ankle slowly only to notice the skin underneath her legs. The touch of the warm skin awoken her from her half-asleep state.

“You know, I found myself enjoying watching you sleeping more than sleeping myself,” Li Jun Wei’s deep voice was huskier in the morning, causing her heartbeat to palpitate.

“How long have you’ve been awake?” Li Lian asked as his eyes seemed to be bright as if he had washed his face and she found the tips of his hair were indeed wet.

“I don’t remember, maybe it was an hour ago,” Li Jun Wei’s lips twisted slowly into a smile, and his eyes admired her fair shoulders when the thin blanket smoothly fell over her body. Leaning forward, he planted a kiss on the spot his eyes had been coveting to steal a kiss on. “Good morning,” he whispered, watching his blooming smile was Li Lian’s morning treasure. Whatever it takes for her to see his smile, she could give it all even if it means to kill.

“Good morning.” What time was it? wondered Li Lian and she heard him say,

“It’s still twelve, your company won’t mind you taking a rest after everything you’ve done. Sleep more,” he whispered. Li Lian found it strange how he could always read her mind as an open book and people would often hate the thought of others living in their heart and mind. Strangely, she didn’t mind it and instead, found this part of him was similar to a close bond only they could understand.

She noticed how she was dressed less without her top and wrapped the blanket underneath her arms, she stared at his eyes which she knew had been staring at her as if he couldn’t wait to eat her, “What about you?”

“Are you asking me to leave?” Li Jun Wei questioned, pushing himself from the bed, he took a glass of water placed beside him and offered it for her.

Li Lian took the glass, even though her eyes were not on him, she could feel the heating gaze that watched closely her chin and lower to her neck. The air in the room that was light begin to turn tighter as if someone had pulled both ends of a rope, putting strain on them.

“You often leave before I woke up,” Li Lian put a reply after dawning the drink in less than a minute. Somewhere she still feels the thirst in her throat.

“Is that complain I hear?” Li Jun Wei took her palm, and she watched his red lips kissing her knuckles while his eyes that looked at her were still hungry for her as if last night was nowhere close to enough for him. “I also wish to stay with you from morning until night, giving you the love and care you deserve which why I have been busy the past few months. I need to fix all troubles and chase away the fly my aunt planted on the company. Yet when I had just achieved my goal, came another problem,” whispered Li Jun Wei, his eyes narrowing with a cold and intense gaze.

“Wei Tsui Lan,” Li Lian named the source of their trouble for now, and a frown tightly tangled on his forehead.

“Don’t call his name with your lips,” his thumb brushed over her supple lower lips, while his eyes stared back at her black eyes, “It annoys me a great deal that you have to sully your mouth with his terrible name. How was your sleep? I noticed how you’ve been speaking in your sleep.”

Li Lian’s eyes widened at his words, “I did?”

“What did you dreamt?” He asked curiously.

“You,” Li Lian replied with a smile tuning her lips, watching surprise flicker on his eyes. “I remember when we first met now. My promise.”

The few words were enough to fill the puzzle for Li Jun Wei to guess what part of their past which she had now discovered overnight.

“It took you long,” Li Jun Wei leaned his back on the headrest and pulled her body along with the blanket to place her head on his chest. Li Lian snugly snuggles in his arms. “When I first heard your promise, I trusted you who said that it will only take my voice to remind you.”

“You can’t blame me,” Li Lian defended herself, “You look so much different than what I imagined. You are far…” Li Jun Wei’s brows raised on the suspense she added in her words. “More handsome than whatever I could paint you to be. But is it truly because of that day you liked me?” Li Lian finds it slightly hard to believe that such a short and brief time of their meeting could put a love so deeply that he had for her now.

“I met you again several times,” Li Jun Wei’s fingers trailed on the side of her face, pushing the smooth baby hairs that covered her round forehead, “Your college was actually near the road that I took to a branch of my company which I often visit four times a week. On many occasions, you begin to stand out more than anyone. I watched how you stopped a car to save a cat and brought the cat to the vet. I also see one day you danced on the way to the college because you thought no one was watching you.”

Li Jun Wei could still remember it like yesterday where he always looked on the window of his car, waiting for Li Lian to appear and how he would expect the rest of his day to turn into the luckiest day of his life just for stealing a glimpse of her smile.

Li Lian recalled that it might happen before, and her cheeks blushed, “You have been watching me for a long time, why didn’t you talk to me?” and when she asked, she immediately scolded herself for her stupid question.

“One reason is indeed He Chang Min,” he confirmed when meeting her eyes that held spec of guilt, “Even back then, I knew I had the ability to make you mine and take you away from him. I had my plan and I had my confidence to steal you.”

Li Lian didn’t know this part of him existed. His eyes were holding a flame and the look on his face appeared like someone who had been tied deeply in love that no matter what he faced, it couldn’t break the magic of his deep love for her.

“Why didn’t you?” Yes, it was wrong if he had done it in the past, but as he said, Li Jun Wei had everything in him that he could utilize to steal her. She wanted to know his reason why he chose not to.

“It’s a simple reason. I love your smile. I had the confidence to steal you but not to avoid making you cry. When I thought about it maybe not having you could be a cheaper price than being someone who you would hate for life. I did promise to steal you when I have the chance and fortunately, I did,” Li Jun Wei took a kiss of her lips, “You won’t believe me when I say how much I have dreamed of this day.”

Li Lian couldn’t resist the urge that pushed her to circle her hands around his neck, her eyes that met him gave him a seductive smile, “Was last night enough for you?”

Li Jun Wei was not a saint nor a fool to miss over her offer, “Hardly,” and he pressed her to the bed again.
