The waiter felt troubled and sneakily glanced at Li Jun Wei under his head that was bowed down for his words. Not only that he was at the moment in front of the emperor but was also the fact that the lady in front of her was glaring at him as though she wanted to bit the hand out of him.
Li Jun Wei placed his wine glass that was still full and placed it before her. "This would be the last glass, after this no more drinking again, okay?"
Li Lian took the glass like a precious treasure and giggled. "Hubby, your the best..." At the end of her words, she chugged the glass to feel something stuck on her throat and coughed.
Li Jun Wei frowned. "Drink slowly, here drink a glass of water first." Li Lian saw his right hand passing the glass of water and took it.
Li Jun Wei felt the weigh on his palm disappearing and was about to retract back his hand to found the girl holding firmly his wrist. Li Lian hiccuped for once and called his name playfully. "Jun Wei~"
Jun Wei stiffened from the velvety voice that stirred him.
Li Lian turned her face up to see what kind of face the man was wearing and continued to call him. "Jun Wei?"
Jun Wei keep down himself and replied with an affirmative "Mn."
Li Lian squinted her hazy eyes a few times to see his face but found nothing and called his name in different honorifics to see him draw out his emotion.
"Xiao- Wei!"
"Wei- er?"
"Jun Wei- Ge Ge?"
"Jun Wei Di Di?"
"Hubby?"
Li Lian pulled his hand even closer to bring forth his face and grinned. "Darling?"
Li Jun Wei creased his forehead. It wasn't an angry frown, but rather an alarm frown as the women in front of him unknowingly played with the beast inside him.
"You're drunk." Li Jun Wei stated at her eyes directly to stop her from provoking him any further.
Li Lian grumbled and walked to the side toward the man. However, her legs suddenly wobbled down and lost its power. Seeing this, Li Jun Wei reached out his hand, catching Li Lian's wrist with a widened expression.
His heart thumped loudly as he thought Li Lian would fall down to the floor.
"Be careful!" Li Lian heard Li Jun Wei raised his voice for the first time and her eyebrows slanted down akin to a cat who had been reprimanded by its master.
"I- I'm sorry..." She looked down to her chair and fiddled her fingers to purse her lips into a thin line. For the first time, she heard Li Jun Wei to ever raise an octave of his voice and felt scolded.
Li Jun Wei noticed that he was being too harsh on his drunk wife and caressed her head gently. "No, I should be the one apologizing for raising my voice."
He didn't wait for the girl's response and used his one hand to leaned over her waist before lifting her legs and carried her.
The waitress, waiter and the people in the corridor who saw Li Jun Wei carrying Li Lian's on his hand peacefully had a startled face as though the world had just blown into bits.
Although their mouth had been itching to talk in a hushed tone with each other, they couldn't do it with the emperor's presence and could only look at each other exchanging glances.
Li Jun Wei's eyes fell on the manager behind his back and called him. "Mr. Xu."
Manager Xu snapped his head to walk behind the emperor and fidgeted with an anxiety attack. "W- What can I help you, CEO Li?"
"Prepare the double bed in Lotus Suite." Li Jun Wei ordered before breaking his sideways glance back at the girl who was now staring at his face.
"If you would wait for a moment, CEO Li, I will prepare it immediately r- right away." The manager turned to his back to order the subordinates when he hard Li Jun Wei speaking once again.
"The key." Li Jun Wei cast his cold stare at the man from the side.
"P- Pardon me, CEO Li may I ask you to repeat your words?" The manager felt blood drained from his face for being unable to follow the emperor's words. Usually, beside Li Jun Wei, Li Xiao Chen became the translator and mediator between Li Jun Wei and his interlocutors.
Li Jun Wei silently paused. He never knew that he was bad at talking after the absence of his little brother who could guess his thought most of the time.
"The key card to the room." Li Jun Wei repeated in a clearer sentence.
"A- Ah, please wait for a minute, CEO Li..." The manager ran to the employees' office and checked the keycard but felt too pressured and took the card in a hurry before wagging his tail back behind Li Jun Wei.
After receiving the card key, Li Jun Wei opened the room while carrying Li Lian on one hand who was speaking gibberish to enter the room.
To his surprise, the room wasn't a double bedroom but a single bedroom. Li Jun Wei shook his head. Why did I hire such incompetent people who couldn't see the difference between a single bedroom and double bedroom?, he thought to himself to receive a sudden poke at his cheek from Li Lian.
Li Jun Wei looked down at Li Lian who had made a victory pose after being able to touch his cheek. "What were you doing?" His words were sharp but his tone was as gentle as the bed that Li Jun Wei placed her on.
"You don't remwember?" She hiccuped once and saw Lli Jun Wei readily pour a glass to pass it on her.
"Remember what?" Li Jun Wei continued to speak with the drunk girl whose mind wasn't in the right place.
"You told me that I could touch you to my heart content, did you forgot-" She pulled the tie on his neck and pushed him down before rounding the necktie on her hand to collapse on his chest.
