Empress Of The Lost Kingdom Chapter 23
Advertisement
When Tang Wei Sheng came to room after the dinner, he saw Li Juan standing near the balcony staring at the stars. He slowly enveloped her in a warm embrace.
"Never knew that my sweetheart has an interest in stargazing." Tang Wei Sheng asked her while keeping his chin on her shoulder.
"Mmm, I was just thinking. Which star would have blessed me with you?" Li Juan kept her stature on his support.
"Maybe that star -" Tang Wei Sheng pointed his finger to a blinking star. Li Juan turned around and gave him a quick peck on his lips.
"Is there anything bothering you?" Tang Wei Sheng kept his arms on her shoulders and asked her.
"I am scared." Li Juan kept her head low and told him without looking into his eyes.
"Why?" Tang Wei Sheng was curious.
"What if everything comes to end? You and me; What if it doesn't work out?" Li Juan asked again.
Tang Wei Sheng turned her facing the starlit sky and embraced her. "Hey, star?"
He called out.
"Do you believe that everything comes to end?
Me and my sweetheart, do you think that our love will end one day?" Tang Wei Sheng asked out and waited for a moment. Li Juan was stupefied for a moment. Is he is the renowned Young master of Tang corporation? How can he act childish?
"The star says that it is impossible. There is no ending in our love story." Tang Wei Sheng told Li Juan.
"Do you think that my sweetheart will forget me one day?" He asked again. "What, there is a chance for that?" Tang Wei Sheng exclaimed and looked at Li Juan with a fake angry expression.
"But there is a solution for that?" His expression changed. "What solution?"
"Ohhhoo." Tang Wei Sheng's lips curved in agreement.
"What did the star say?" Li Juan was following Tang Wei Sheng's play and asked him.
"Star told me to show you something." Tang Wei Sheng told her.
"What is that?"
Li Juan was curious.
"Come I will show you," Tang Wei Sheng grabbed her hand and led her to his bedroom. He took his laptop and showed it to her.
"It was the picture of a furnished condo." Li Juan looked at him with confusion.
"Let's move in together." Tang Wei Sheng looked at her, starry-eyed.
"Wei Sheng Ge!" Li Juan called his name in disbelief.
"Once we are done with the work here, let's move in together."
Li Juan couldn't believe what she heard. She looked at Tang Wei Sheng with a blank expression.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Tang Wei Sheng held out a jewel box, inside that there was a ring made up a green jade and diamonds.
Is he proposing to her?
A teardrop fell from Li Juan's eyes. Yes.
"Yes," she answered with teary eyes.
Tang Wei Sheng slid the ring into her slender finger and kissed her fingers. Li Juan couldn't help but not to embrace him. She immersed her face in his chest.
"Ah," Tang Wei Sheng felt Li Juan's bite on his chest. Sweetheart, he called her and grabbed hold on her chin.
"Why are you crying?" Tang Wei Sheng wiped her tears and pressed his lips into hers.
Li Juan's long eyelashes were wet with tears, he kissed away her tears.
Tang Wei Sheng held his palm on her slender neck and other on her back. He slowly opened her mouth and started to kiss her.

Their kiss was getting passionate and Li Juan felt that Tang Wei Sheng's hands were slowly unzipping her dress.
He slid the dress from her shoulder and pressed her down to the bed.
There was a mischievous yet beautiful smile flashed in his lips. He took his shirt and his perfectly toned abs were visible before Li Juan's eyes.
She felt like she was struck by lightning. He had the perfect body which resembled the statues. Li Juan face got flushed red and she was looking at him without even batting an eyelid.
Li Juan lied there dumbstruck.
Tang Wei Sheng noted the change on Li Juan's face. He crawled to the bed and held himself above her.
"I hope you are ready," he smiled and leaned closer to capture her lips.
"Wei Sheng Ge," Li Juan called him.
He stopped for a moment.
There was a fear in Li Juan's eyes. His lips almost touched hers.
"Can we do it some other time?"
Tang Wei Sheng looked at her in doubt.
"You don't want it?"
Suddenly Tang Wei Sheng's cell phone rang. It was kept near the bed table. He stretched his arm and without checking the number he switched off the phone.
"Is he disappointed?"
Tang Wei Sheng was waiting for this moment for a long time and he doesn't want anyone to ruin this perfect moment. But a simple question from Li Juan and everything is ruined.
Tang Wei Sheng looked at the Li Juan's slender neck and raised collar bones; the black lace dress which she wore still covered her heaving bosom. On her neck, a radiating sun-shaped diamond pendant kept heaving up and down with the rhythm of her breath.
He grabbed her dress and kept it in the original position.
"Wei Sheng Ge, I am…"
"It is alright Juan. It is my fault that I." Tang Wei Sheng tried to apologise.
Li Juan covered his mouth with her hands.
"It is not your fault. It's me. I don't want to do it on a whim."
"Hmm."
Tang Wei Sheng's face was disappointed.
"I want us to keep our first time as a cherished memory."
"Hmm,"
"There will be a day when both of us ready to take our relationship into another level." Li Juan tried to cheer him up.
"When?"
"It won't be too late."
"Hmmm, I understood."
"But you can still mark me yours!" Li Juan said in an excited voice.
"Can I?" Tang Wei Sheng looked at her in amusement.
"You can,"
Tang Wei Sheng leaned closer to her and kissed neck.
Li Juan felt goosebumps when his warm breath touched her skin. Like a hungry wolf, he bit on the nape of her neck.
A low shriek came out of Li Juan's mouth.
"Did I hurt you?" Tang Wei Sheng asked her.
"No."
"I just marked you mine." He smiled and pressed his lips on to her.
Li Juan looked at the man before her eyes.
He is the man she loved,
He is the man she waited for a long time.
But why does the gaze in his eyes feels different?
Suddenly they heard the doorbell.
Li Juan rose from the bed covering her chest with arms. She looked at Tang Wei Sheng.
"You stay here I will check." Tang Wei Sheng caressed her face and gave a quick peck her lips and slid down from the bed.
He took the night robe from the closet and left the room.

It was general manager Zhang Zi Zhong.
"What is it, Mr Zhang?" Tang Wei Sheng looked at Zhang Zi Zhong, whose eyes were still craving for sleep.
"CEO Tang, the chairman told me that he couldn't get you in contact. He wants you to come back to Jing city now."
"What?" Tang Wei Sheng exclaimed. "What happened? Assistant Yang and told me that it is an important matter and told you to fly as soon as possible. He had sent me the tickets." Zhang Zi Zhong reported.
"You wait here. Can I have your phone?" Tang Wei Sheng took Zhang's phone and dialled his assistant's number.
"Assistant Yang, what happened to grandpa?"
"Chairman wants young master to come back as soon as possible."
"What happened?" Tang Wei Sheng was anxious.
"I have no idea CEO Tang. President asked me to contact you since he couldn't get you on line."
"But Assistant Yang," He stopped for a moment, "Li Juan I am not sure her work has done yet. How can I leave her alone? I will talk to grandpa."
"I am afraid that will not be possible now."
"Chairman is on a meeting."
"A meeting?" He looked at the wall clock, it showed 11 pm.
"I will call grandpa and ask myself."
Tang Wei Sheng ended the call, "do you have grandpa's contact number?"
"Yes sir." Zhang Zi Zhong dialled Chairman Tang's assistant's number.
"Uncle Ahn, this is Wei Sheng, I wanted to talk with grandpa right now". Tang Wei Sheng asked as soon as the call got connected.
"Wait for a minute young master." Within 20 seconds Tang Fei's voice was heard from the other side.
"Grandpa,"
"Wei Sheng, come back as soon as possible."
"What is matter grandpa is there anything serious?"
"Yes. I guess you got the flight tickets."
"But grandpa," Tang Wei Sheng hesitated for a moment. "Li Juan is with me."
"Oh, that archaeology student. She can stay there. I only want you to come back."
"Grandpa, how can I leave her all alone?" Tang Wei Sheng was confused.
"Tang Wei Sheng, I want you to board the flight now and come back here."
"Grandpa I," before Tang Wei Sheng could speak the call was ended. His beautiful face turned dark.
"What happens Wei Sheng Ge? Is everything alright?"
Li Juan asked out of concern. She was climbing down the stairs quickly and she didn't notice manager Zhang who was sitting on the couch.
"Manager Zhang!" Li Juan was startled to see him at this hour.
"Why are you here at this late hour?" She asked him.
"Miss Li, the chairman wants CEO Tang to come back to Jing city."
"Is everything alright CEO Tang?" Li Juan asked Tang Wei Sheng who looked disturbed.
"Juan get changed, we are leaving in 15 minutes." Tang Wei Sheng immediately ordered.
"What happened Wei Sheng Ge?"
"I don't know." Tang Wei Sheng was stressed. "I don't know why grandpa wants me to come back,
Whether your work has finished or not I want you to come with me." Tang Wei Sheng told her. It was more like an order.
Manager Zhang Zi Zhong got flustered. Li Juan was the boss's assistant and why did he feel some another emotion in his boss words towards her?
"CEO Tang, there may be something that happened in the corporation, that's why your grandpa wants you to come back." Li Juan tried to be reasonable.
"I don't think I must accompany you."
"What?" Tang Wei Sheng was dumbfounded. "You are going to stay here alone? Sweetheart, don't be stupid."
Sweetheart!! Did he just call his secretary sweetheart? Manager Zhang was almost choked upon hearing his boss's words.
There is something fishy. He looked at Li Juan, she was still in her sleep wears and her hair was in a messy bun.
But her face was extremely red like she was having a fever.
"Wei Sheng Ge it is only a matter of a few hours." Li Juan tried to pacify him.
"When it gets dawn, Mrs Zhao will be here and I won't be alone." Li Juan didn't have any notion of stopping him from his journey.
Within those three days spent with him, Li Juan clearly understood the relationship between Tang Wei Sheng and his grandpa. Tang Wei Sheng loved and valued his grandpa more than anyone in the world.
"I got to check something from the library and I will be alright here." She adjusted her hair and gave him an assuring smile.
Manager Zhang noticed the ring on her finger and recognized it on first sight. It was the ring they have bought from H town.
Boss said that it for his girlfriend. Zhang Zi Zhong looked at Li Juan who was standing next to Tang Wei Sheng with a pacifying smile.
Oh, so Li Juan was the girlfriend his boss has mentioned.
"Hmm." Tang Wei Sheng nodded. "I am only agreeing because of your work. The moment you finished with the work I want you to catch the earliest flight to Jing City." Tang Wei Sheng hesitantly agreed to Li Juan.
"Yes, I promise." Li Juan agreed with him. "Go, get ready."
Tang Wei Sheng's face was still dark. He went upstairs.
Li Juan wanted to follow him, but she didn't dare to go.
Other than them, there is a third person sitting in the living room. Li Juan turned to face Zhang Zi Zhong.
"It would've been difficult for you, to come here at this time." Li Juan tried to start a conversation with Zhang Zi Zhong.
"Its fine Miss, I started as a secretary in Tang Corporation, so I am acclaimed to these kinds of emergencies."
He smiled; "I must have troubled your sleep."
"No Manager Zhang." Li Juan replied. Zhang Zi Zhong was kind and considerate towards her from the day they have met.
"I thought you are here because secretary Yang was busy." Zhang Zi Zhong tried to gain Li Juan's attention to the conversation.
"I was supposed to come here with my team. Unfortunately, everyone got held up and only CEO Tang and I were left."
"Which department are you from Miss Li?"
"Archaeology department," Li Juan replied.
Archaeology department! Zhang Zi Zhong was surprised. "Does Tang Corporation have a department like that?" Zhang Zi Zhong was working in Tang corporations for 25 years and he has never heard of the archaeology department.
"No. no, I don't work for Tang corporations. Not directly." Li Juan explained.
"I am a research scholar at Jing University. And our research is funded by Tang Corporations."
"Oh, that's so nice. What is this research about?"
"We are looking for ruins of a city."
"Here in Xi City? Wow, that's so amazing. I am a fan of the tomb raider movies, lost cities, treasures, mummies etc." Zhang Zi Zhong was excited.
"I think manager Zhang likes adventurous stuff."
"Of course, I do. Miss Li, Did you find the city?"
"No, we didn't start yet." Li Juan honestly replied to him.
"Oh my god, I have only seen archaeologists in movies. " Zhang Zi Zhong acted like a fangirl who has met her idol. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
"I feel the same Manager Zhang." Li Juan smiled, usually, whenever she says that she works in Archeology field, most of the listeners will be surprised because they consider it as a low-income job. This is the first time someone was excited to meet an archaeologist.
"Please do inform me, when you are going for an expedition.
I will make some excuses and join your team." Zhang Zi Zhong requested.
"I never imagined that I will meet someone enthusiastic about this kind of stuff." Li Juan was happy with Zhang Zi Zhong's genuine interest.
"It was because of my daughter. She was also interested in these things. He added with a smile. And to be honest, you remind me of her."
"Oh, that's great."
"Li Juan," Tang Wei Sheng came down fully dressed. His face was still brooding.
Li Juan and Zhang Zi Zhong stood up from the couch.
"I will wait outside," Zhang Zi Zhong walked towards the door; he didn't want to be a light bulb in between the couple.
"What is with this long face?" Li Juan tip-toed and kissed his lips. Tang Wei Sheng held her waist.
"Are you sure that, you will be alright here?"
"Yes, honey. It is a matter of a day." Li Juan assured him.
Honey! Tang Wei Sheng's face lit up with happiness.
"Sweetheart Come back soon," Tang Wei Sheng lifted her from the ground and kissed her in rosy lips.
That night Li Juan couldn't sleep. She laid on the bed and her mind was filled with so many questions.
Tang Wei Sheng left a few hours ago. He will be on the way to Jing city now. If there are no serious reasons, his family couldn't have called him in the middle of the night and asked him to return.
She tried to ease her mind and hugged the pillow. It was filled with his scent.

Stolen by the System
Lost. Vulnerable. Alone. What would you sacrifice to get home? Kidnapped on the cusp of graduation, Jake is dumped into a deadly world of levels and magic. His dreams shattered again, he’s left with a choice: fight or die – and Death won’t let him go that easily. A savage wolf, a horrific secret, and an abhorrent quest make day one the second worst day of his life. Whatever bastard is pulling the strings is due one hell of a reckoning. On the plus side, there’s magic, and Jake’s got the stats to master it. Spells not included, but, hey, creating spells and programming are basically the same thing, right? At least Spellcrafting is slightly less suicidal than trying to stop the encroaching dungeon spawn threat. Because why wouldn’t there be an apocalypse in progress. All the more reason to find his way back fast. Unfortunately, the path home leads right into the heart of danger. Fighting monsters, dungeon delving, solving puzzles – whatever it takes, Jake is finding his way home. He’ll need allies. Powerful allies, like a trainee ranger who struggles to find her hairbrush. Pointy ears, executive dysfunction, and a perilously gutsy moral compass – what more could one want in a Companion? Alas, beggars can’t be choosers. He needs every edge he can get. Going home means finishing his quest. That quest. The quest that doesn’t deserve completion. Save your father, save the world. Update Schedule: Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Temporarily ad hoc.

My Newest, and at the same time, Oldest novel. This is a Rewrite of my very first novel that I begun when I was just starting out. It follows the story of Mark Floyd, a broken man who once tried to do what he thought was right... only to be stabbed in the back and thrown away.Now, pulled into a conflict that spans time and space, Mark has a choice to make; Stand up once more, even if it means facing an unknowable future, or let the Embers of his heart die and sink back into darkness. ----------------------------------- “For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”. Once part of a Special Ops team in the US Army, Mark Floyd thought he had seen the worst that Humanity had to offer. That was until his final mission, one that would leave him a broken and shattered man, betrayed by the Country he served, and abandoned by society as a whole. His dreams filled with nightmares of the ones he failed to protect, mind and memories clouded by booze and more, Mark finds himself stumbling through life without purpose or desire. Life isn't done with Mark yet, however. For as long as even a single ember remains in a persons heart, here is still yet hope for the flames of Passion and Hope to be Rekindled. When the dying embers of Mark's heart catches the eyes of a Being far beyond his understanding, Mark finds himself thrown into a situation not even his years of training could prepare him for. Will this new chance be Mark's hope at both Redemption and Recompense? Or will it simply be the final nail in the coffin for a man already dead to the World? [This is a rework of my very first story. The general story will remain the same, however a few details have been tweaked, the chapters have be Edited better and some chapters have been broken down into smaller chunks for better flow and consistency. The biggest change will be to the System itself; It will be a lot less "Game-like", meaning no stats, levels or similar aspect, though skills will still be present in the form of "Programs". Instead, It'll focus more on the Sigil's nature as super-computers and how they change the world around them. This should make for a much more "natural" and less info-dumpy system.
