Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 325

He is the type of person that would want to make peace with everyone and bring the friend group together even though he was merely tagging after An Ke in the past so he did her bidding.

He was torn between taking the stuff to Yu Yan parents or following after her when he saw one of the nurses, he quickly called her and asked her politely to take the things to Yu Yan’s parents then he followed after Xiaomeng in his car even though he is a bit late but the traffic made him catch up with her.

After some minutes they arrived at a club, he silently followed her until she entered the club, he sat far away from her as he watched her drink before going to the dance floor but he couldn’t stay still anymore when he noticed many guys surrounding her and trying to harass her.

He forcibly tried to pull her out but she didn’t want to leave especially after she recognised him, he almost got into a fight with them if not that she obediently left with him later.

She pulled her hand out of his grip after they got out of the dance floor then she brushed her hair back.

“Why did you follow me here?” she asked with her voice raised amidst the loud music.

“You are not the type to club and especially not looking like this, did something happen?”

She broke into a burst of laughter then she ignored him and walked to the counter where she sat and requested a drink, he sat beside her with pity clearly written on his face.

She sipped her drink before turning to him.

“Li Chen, do you pity me?” she asked, seeing the look in his eyes.

He nodded in affirmation.

Normally, she would have flipped out hearing him acknowledge that he pities her but now she knows she is really pitiful.

“I don’t blame you, I also know I am pitiful, loving someone who I know doesn’t love me and doing everything I can to tear him away from the person he loves but yet not gaining the happiness and love I wanted…if that is not pitiful then what is?” she downed the entire content of the bottle down her throat and he let her.

He doesn’t know what she is feeling but he knows if he was in her situation, he would want to drink to his heart content, he just wants to listen to her as he used to when they were still close.

She had already gotten wasted when he decided it is time to take her out, he called a driver to bring her car to his house then he carried her in his own car to his house.

He carried her into the guest room then laid her on the bed but she just wouldn’t stay still since she is still awake, the only person he has tended to in a drunken state is An Ke and she is the type to fall asleep as soon as she gets wasted.

He decided to leave her there till the next morning then take care of whatever mess she makes in the morning but he was about to leave when she held his pinky finger loosely.

He turned but he froze when he saw tears trickling down her face, it made his heart really heavy cos he has never actually seen her tear up, she has a sober expression on her face.

She balled her fist then raised it to her chest before hitting her chest a few times with more tears.

“Xiaomeng…”

“I…I have too much in here that I need to let out, can you just listen before you go…please,”

Please…another word he hasn’t heard from her in a while, has she really become that miserable, if she got what she wanted then she should be happy, why did she let herself get this hurt but then…does he really have the right to think all these when he kept his own feelings bottled for so long before speaking them out.

“Hm,” he nodded then he sat beside her at the edge of the bed.

“Speak and I will just listen quietly,”

She smiled in appreciation.

“I know you all think I am a bad person for wanting to take Chen Kai from Yu Yan and always competing with her, yes, that is the truth and I won’t deny it but it doesn’t make me a bad person entirely,”

She sniffed her nose to send back her tears.

“Even before we all became friends, I have been with Chen Kai since we were little, I knew he was broken and hiding things but then I decided I would be the one to fix him, Yu Yan, she is nice and strong but she doesn’t know him, and I knew that sooner or later, she will find out what he is really like and she will leave him which will break him further, loving someone is wanting them to be happy even if it means you are not happy, I know that but I know at the end, Chen Kai won’t be happy so I decided to be the villain but after making effort to separate them to no avail, I must have gotten jealous and angry at Yu Yan for making me someone to inferior to her before Chen Kai, thus I developed my own selfish ideas,”

She stopped then cleared her throat, she knows in her heart that she would wake up tomorrow and wish she forgot all she is telling him in her drunken state.

He watched her with empathy in his eyes, he also couldn’t understand why she suddenly changed so much but this…

“But now I realise that even I can’t fix him, I thought him being the one to leave the relationship will soothe his ego but seeing Yu Yan move on only made him worse, even the happiness and love I got greedy for has now turned into heartache for me, I am not trying to justify all my actions but I just want one person to know that I didn’t intend to be like this from the start, I….”

She started sobbing aloud, letting it all out really makes her want to cry no matter who is sitting in front of her at the moment or if she will regret her decision.

He sighed then hesitantly hugged her with his hands patting her back gently.

“You weren’t selfish, you just loved him and sometimes we find ourselves being selfish or stupid in love, just like I was,” he remarked in a soothing voice that really helped calm her down, her team leader, and her friends who are now Yu Yan’s friends look at her as though she is some sort of villainess and evil person, even the person she became bad for treats her disrespectfully and cruelly like she doesn’t have emotions but all she ever wanted is to break a wrong combination and bring herself happiness.

“Thank You…” she muttered then slowly closed her eyes as she fell asleep.

Realising she is asleep, he tucked her in then turned off the light.

In his mind, he just can’t wait for her to wake up tomorrow morning and realise that she actually spilt everything despite her pride but for now, he still has to find out about the situation with Han Chen.

He called Meng Yao.

“Hello, has he woken up yet?” he asked with his eyes glancing at his wristwatch which says 1 am.

“No, she refuses to leave the ward but she looks really pale and we are all worried she might collapse, where did you go?”

“Xiaomeng, she is in quite a sorry state so I brought her home,” he is not one to lie especially not to Meng Yao who is just like him excluding the fact that she never dates one guy for over a week until she met her current fiance.

She is a very reasonable person and a listener just like him.

“Is she alright?”

“Nothing to worry about, I will be there by 8 am, text me his condition each hour,”

“Hm, as for Xiaomeng, you probably shouldn’t let the rest know you were with her, bye,”

As expected, others would have been curious about what happened to her and how he came to be with her but not Meng Yao, she can tell when someone doesn’t want to speak and she never drags the conversation.

Instead of going into his bedroom, he laid on the large sofa in his sitting room with his phone by his side so he can get her message.

{Han Chen…I really hope you wake up, if you go, what is Yu Yan supposed to do,}

They all know, his death will totally break her especially since he saved her.

He was so tired that he didn’t even realise when he fell asleep and missed her message that came in each hour just like he asked.
