Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 291
“Now we are even…” she said shyly with her lips scrunched cutely.
He brushed her hair off her face then both giggled.
She wrapped her arms around his neck then pulled him closer.
“Fun fact…it took me one and the half years before I kissed Chen Kai,”
His eyes shone with happiness knowing she only let her guard down with him even though they have not even confirmed if they are dating now.
“Did you ever kiss him like this?” He asked with a bit of jealousy visible on his face, she chuckled seeing the jealous side of him.
“Hmm,” she answered with a positive nod to which he raised his brows then she quickly nodded to refute his question.
“I was just kidding,”
The smile returned to his lips.
“Hum…when did we first kiss, you said you were my first kiss,” she has always been itching to ask him this ever since she knew, she wanted to know when, how and why.
“You might not believe it but we first kissed in this room and in this same spot,”
“Huh…I have been here before,” she couldn’t believe what he said is actually true, how can there be such coincidence.
“After my parents died, my aunt wanted me to live with them but I wanted to remain in the mansion, the second day after we started dating…you…” he felt too awkward to say it.
“What…?”
“You had your first period…”
“Period….what do you mean…wait, What!” She exclaimed, pushing him off her body then she sat straight.
She looked away and scrunched her face in embarrassment, if she knew then she will never have asked.
She has always wondered why she never remembered what the first day was but she knows she started late at sixteen.
“Why do you always have to be the one in my most embarrassing moments…”
He smiled then turned her face to him.
“You don’t have to feel embarrassed, you are a surgeon after all,”
“But…”
“Speaking of embarrassment, I am the one who should be complaining, that day my nanny and the servants were not expecting me to be in the mansion so they left, I initially wanted to get something from the mansion then escort you to your house but when we got to the front of the mansion, I discovered it…”
“How is that supposed to make you embarrassed?”
“Who do you think ran to the store to get you sanitary pads and I even had everyone in the store staring at me and pointing fingers at me,”
She smiled awkwardly realising she actually put him in that position.
“So you mean we kissed in such a sensitive situation?” Her mind imagined just how dangerous it was for teenagers like them.
“Let’s be clear, you were the one who kissed me, I thought I was going to be the one in control but you always end up being the one to initiate it, I felt like the female in the relationship then,”
“Hey! do you really have to narrate it to that extent,” she tucked her hair behind her ear in embarrassment.
He pulled her hand then wrapped his arms around her back in a hug.
“You never felt embarrassed even in that situation so you don’t have to feel embarrassed now, I love you,” he whispered into her ear.
Her face turned red hearing his last three words, the one phrase that she has always wanted to hear again, she couldn’t help thanking her drunken state and her sudden desire to drink.
Even if he has not said what she wants to hear the most, she is willing to say it.
“Han Chen…So, am I your girlfriend now?” she asked, indirectly asking him out with her eyes shut tightly, considering how intimate they were a while ago even if they didn’t sleep together, she thought he should be responding to her confession in that way.
“No,” he sharply answered instantly, she shot her eyes open with her brows furrowed, she pushed him away from her then she glared at him for a second then scoffed.
“So did you just take advantage of me? and here I was thinking you indirectly gave me the answer I wanted, I have never been so direct with someone I love but for you, I let go of my pride but all you have to say is—no” the wronged expression on her face made him almost burst into laughter but he managed to hold his expression straight.
She glared at him in anticipation of his answer but he kept silent.
“Hey! are you not going to say anything?” she yelled but he still kept quiet, out of frustration, she scoffed then stood up from the bed.
“Leave, I need to get changed,” she demanded, this time, he is almost on the verge of bursting into laughter, in just one night he has seen different parts of her and her attitude to rejection is the cutest for him.
“So you are not going to leave—oh, I forgot this room belongs to you, I will go downstairs then,” she hesitated for a while, expecting him to try to stop her but he still stared at her with an indifferent look on his face.
“You are really unbelievable,” she glared at him then turned around to leave the room, a wide smile formed on his lips as he watched her storm out of the room, he chuckled silently then followed after her.
She was just descending the stairs when he rushed up to her and picked her up in his arm, she was so startled that she quickly wrapped her arm around his neck and place her other hand on his chest.
“I see you like that spot since you have taken every opportunity to touch it in just one night,”
he teased with his lips curled up, she raised one of her brows at his audacity to still tease her even after rejecting her after taking advantage of her.
“None of your business!” She retorted but he leaned in to her face.
“My dear woman, how is it not my buisness?”
“You just have to have the last say don’t you and here I was thinking you have changed, let me down n.o.w!” She growled but his teasing smile only widened as he returned upstairs and carried her towards another stairs, he ran up the stairs with her in his arms.
“Hey, are you crazy, let me down!” She screamed with her eyes shut, then she opened them with she noticed they are still, she opened her eyes only to find herself in his bedroom which she visited before.
“What are we doing here?” She questioned, looking up at him.
“You will know very soon,” he carried her towards the secret compartment behind his closet, he pressed the button to make it open then he carried her inside.
Even though this is not her first time in, she is still dazed by the beauty of the room, gold, diamond, jade and other precious stones were in the room but in the form of artifacts and jewels.
“Let me down!”
He smiled then let her down her.
He walked towards the wall in the part of the room where he stopped her from opening the time she was there, she followed after him with a surprised look on her face when she saw him about to press the button he warned her not to press.
“Are you sure you want to press it whilst I am s here?”
He turned around and smiled at her then he pressed the button, the wall suddenly slid open , she moved forward to see what is in that compartment.
She was stunned to see everything inside, pictures of them, and her portraits everywhere, most of the things she remembered having when she was in high school but she forgot how she lost them were all there.
She moved closer and examined the shelf, the diary she remembered she used to keep, an hoodie she still has at home but not the same one as she is very sure she still has it at home,
slideshows all over the room, showing images and videos of them.
She even has a painting of her, golden sculpture of her and jewelries with their initials on it.
Her mouth was opened agape at the extent he went to.
“What is all this, are you sure you were not obsessed with me?” She questioned with her eyes still fixed on the items, he walked up to her then wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
She flinched as soon as she felt his touch.
“You are right, I was obsessed with you,” she removed his hands from her waist then she turned around to face him.
“Even if, you didn’t have to go to this length, it makes my heart ache seeing this things,”
“I didn’t want you to see this room before because you haven’t recovered your memory, back then, I told you I wanted to make a room like this filled with memories of us but you were scolding me saying it is a waste of money even if I am a billionaire,”
