Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 320

She sniffled her nose to stop the tears, fixing her doe-eyes on him, he ran his thumb over the side of her face to wipe her tears again then he cupped her face and kissed her forehead, calming her nerves which have been wrecked ever since that night.

“Now let’s sleep, you have work tomorrow, how are you going to treat your patients if you end up getting a migraine or looking sick,”

She nodded her head like a gentle, cute puppy as she ran her tongue over her dried lips, he smiled then gave her a peck before she lied down in his arms again with her face buried in his chest.

“Sleep tight,”

The next morning, she went to work while he went to the company for a shareholder’s meeting, some of the directors are confused as to whether he is in charge of the company now or his aunt, he has discussed with his aunt and she has refused to continue taking care of his company so she called a board meeting to give him back his full authority.

When the meeting was over and most of the directors has accepted his return, he and his aunt went to a restaurant to discuss over a meal.

“How have you been doing?” she asked as she placed the piece of steak in her mouth.

“Good, I have a fiance to take care of me so I am doing alright,”

She dropped her cutlery on her plate, causing a clinking sound that drew the attention of the others in the restaurant, he apologised to them then turned to her, she looked extremely shocked and confused to hear him say the word ‘fiance’.

“What did you just say?” she asked

“Fiance, I have a fiance,” he replied nonchalantly.

“Fiance, when did you even have a girlfriend not to talk of a fiance, don’t tell me you brought back one of your colleagues in the military,”

“Aunt, what is wrong with marrying my colleague in the military, the girl I am getting married to is stronger than any woman in the military and she is more beautiful than any woman I have ever seen,” he responded with a wide smile on his face as though he is imagining the face of the woman he is describing.

She was dumbfounded looking at him in that state but the moment gives her a feeling of Deja Vu.

“Why do I feel like I have heard this description before or something similar to it….isn’t that the same thing you said when you were going to introduce your girlfriend in high school to us?” she could remember how head over heels he was for the girl to the point that there is no discussion where he doesn’t mention her name, unlike other teenagers, he couldn’t hide his relationship from them.

“You probably heard it when I was describing Yu Yan,” he responded nonchalantly again, she dropped her cutlery in shock so he had a waiter change the cutlery for her.

“I just said Yu Yan, she was my girlfriend in high school,”

She gasped with her hands over her mouth and her eyes widened before hitting him on his forehead.

Ouch!

“How could you keep this from me, first it was Jia Yu and now you,?”

“I didnt mean to, we still hadn’t gotten together when you came to the hospital, it was just after then and I already proposed to her,” he explained himself then went back to cutting his steak, she scoffed in disbelief, he even proposed to her without even making their relationship known to them.

“Her parents, are they aware of this?” certainly they would have told her and her husband the news.

“Just recently, in fact, they caught us in the middle of something so now they disapprove of our relationship,” his smile faded into a disheartened look, she understood what must have happened, if there is anyone who knows how protective her family is of her then it is surely the Jia family.

“I understand them, do you want me to speak to them on your behalf, if they know you are related to me then they will surely accept you,”

“No, I have to gain their approval myself, only then will I truly be worth her,” he flashed her a smile then inserted a piece into his mouth and chewed gently while she watched him with a pride-filled smile on her lips.

Others would ask for her assistance but he didn’t.

Before he came back from the military this time, she has always wanted to introduce Yu Yan to him but it is either he is not staying around or she doesn’t have the time to visit so they always missed each other and she only talked to Yu Yan about him once or twice but she didn’t think that everything would go how she wanted even without making an effort.

After they finished their lunch, he offered to drop her at her mansion since he brought her here in his car but she refused saying she already called her driver since she has some work to attend to in her company so he bid her goodbye and drove away in his black Mercedes Benz G-Class to the hospital.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Yu Yan was discussing a patient’s condition with three other surgeons when a young man in a black oversized leather jacket and chained baggy trousers with a large silver chain suddenly walked towards her and threw his arms around her.

Everyone around gasped in shock while Yu Yan spread her arms out.

“Who is he?” they started murmuring amongst themselves.

“I have missed you so much Yu Yan,” he tightened his arms around her.

“Let me go first,” she requested, she could already tell who he is from his voice and his outfit, she pushed him away from her with all her strength.

They once again gasped at his ghastly good looks, not only is he extremely tall but his side-parted hair enhances his facial features, well-chiselled jaw, dimpled cheeks and sharp eyes.

“Is he another one of her boyfriends?”

“He must be an idol, he is so damn handsome,”

They started taking pictures of them from the time he hugged her, she covered her face then pulled him by his hands away from the crowd gathering around like they don’t have patients to attend to even though the hospital is not crowded today.

She pulled him to the rooftop where she is sure no one would follow them, but he quickly pulled her into another tight hug but once again, she pushed him away.

“Brother, behave yourself!” she yelled then brushed her hair away from her face.

While they were gone, Jia Yu and the others had just returned from the canteen when they saw everyone looking at their phones and gossiping.

“What is going on?” An Ke asked one of the nurses.

“Yu Yan’s boyfriend came over, I know she is pretty but how can she have three handsome men wrapped around her fingers,” the nurse answered, with excitement in her voice despite the fact that she is speaking against Yu Yan.

They turned confused.

Another boyfriend?

“When did Yu Yan have another boyfriend?” Meng Yao asked the others.

“Is that his picture?” Ji Chen asked seeing as they are all focused on their phones, the nurse nodded them extended the phone for them to take a look at the person.

“Yu Han!” they exclaimed at the sight of the picture.

“You know him?”

“My idol!” An Ke, Jia Yu and Meng Yao chorused, gaining the attention of those around.

“Why is he still your idol, you have me,” Ji Chen retorted out of jealousy but she didn’t even give him attention, they quickly walked away in search of Yu Yan and her brother.

“I can’t believe he is here, if I had known he would be back so soon, I wouldn’t have started dating Li Wei,”

“I don’t even stand a chance since I am already engaged,” Meng Yao lamented.

“Had I known, I wouldn’t have allowed mom and dad to find out about me and Ji Chen then I would still stand a chance to become his second wife,”

Both guys scoffed in disbelief at how quick they are to regret their decision upon seeing him.

Huo Yu Han is the second son of the Huo family with looks that cannot be compared to anyone’s look, his towering height, sharp eyes, dimpled face and cool personality steals the heart of any woman that comes across him.

He studied medicine just like Yu Yan but he ended up becoming a gamer then he got married to his wife who is the first person to beat him in an E-sport competition, the three girls have known him for a long time yet he treats them like sisters but they always had a crush on him…is there anyone who has never had a crush on him? even Yu Yan has admires on her own brother.

That is how serious it is.

Back to the rooftop.

“How could you not call me even once?” he questioned with a disheartened look on his face.

“You are the one who said you were going on a two years honeymoon with your wife, how am I supposed to disturb you then?”

“But still…”
