Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 339

Two months later.

They cuddled each other in bed with her head buried in his chest, ever since that day, the fear of losing him still hasn’t left her heart, at random times, she just breaks down in tears thinking of how she almost lost him, though he has been trying his very best after he fully recovered to help her forget it, it is to no avail.

Her sobs in the middle of the night and sniffles pricks his heart.

He had just returned from the company and she from the hospital but she already got changed in her pyjama while he setted for cuddled in bed before anything.

“Han Chen, how about we go see your aunt this weekend?”

“We can but why all of a sudden?”

“Jia Yu told me she is feeling weak these days, I think it must have been because of the stress especially after your accident,” he could hear a tone of guilt in her voice, he sighed then sat up and pulled her up with him.

“Yu Yan, you are still feeling guilty about it,”

She could tell he wasn’t happy with it but she really can’t help it.

“I am really sorry but even though I try to forget it, it feels just like yesterday,” she lowered her gaze, the moment when he was thrown into the air and rolled off the car still haunts her dreams, every time she woke up from her sleep in her apartment, she runs out to look for him late in the night so he decided to move in with her.

“If the same thing happened to you, I would also be like you are now but please…let’s get it behind us, everyone has also forgotten about it, your parents have also accepted us and your brothers have also given us their blessing so it all worked out well,” he smiled to ease her worries then stroked her cheeks, she smiled back at him.

Her elder brother came to the hospital with the twins after they told him what happened, right there and then, he gave them his blessing.

“But there is still one person let, your brother still hates me to this day, while you were in a coma-”

“Han Li is not angry at you, the one he hates and is angry at is me, I should have told him that he is not a substitute but a real brother to me instead of leaving him be but don’t worry, I will rectify things once we go to aunt’s place,” he held her hand and raised it to his lips, kissing it gently.

“You should get changed now, you must be tired from the long day at work,” she patted his hands on top of hers, he hummed then stood up to change.

He removed his tie, suit jacket then unbuttoned his shirt, he was just about to take it off when she figured she had better look away, she giggled softly then turned to face the other side with her cheeks flushed red.

{Why can’t I look, he is my fiancé,}

She turned back, his broad shoulder, firm back, her flushed cheeks became redder until she glanced at the web-like scar in the middle of his back, her smile faded, ever since he got discharged, this is the first time he is changing in front of her.

She slowly got off the bed then stood behind him, he raised her hands to trace the scar on his back but she couldn’t bring herself to do it, she was sure he didn’t have that before the accident, even after the surgery or the surgeon would have said something about it.

She was just about to put her finger on it when he turned around, she froze at his questioning gaze.

“The scar…how did you get it?” she looked like she is about to tear up.

His eyes went round, realising he forget about hiding the scar from her.

“I don’t know but the doctor said it is not from the accident, it must have appeared after I woke up, perhaps this is what I got in return for my life,” he placed his hands on her shoulder, she should be excited seeing him stand before her with his broad chest and chiselled abs before her but how can she when she just saw something so horrible on his back.

After you woke up?

She had almost forgotten about everyone freezing except for the both of them that day.

“Han Chen, there is something I didn’t tell you, you might not believe me but I think time froze for some seconds before you woke up,”

“What are you talking about?”

“You remember I told you about the strange dreams I have been having, well before you woke up, I was sure time froze so I went to see the psychologist again and this time, I really think I am seeing a real person and another world in my dreams,” she narrated, even at the moment where time froze, her ear suddenly rang then she heard someone say ‘Huo Lan, please…’.

She stared into his face to read his reaction but she couldn’t tell if he believes her or not.

“You don’t believe me, do you?”

“Of course, I do, if you say you say time froze then it definitely did, perhaps the scar on my back is also related to that, I will try to find out more about it so don’t let it bother you,”

She grinned widely then wrapped her arms around his waist with her body leaning on his bare body.

“I love you soooooo much,” she confessed

He smiled broadly then wrapped his hands around her too, he has heard her say it many times but he can’t get over the ticklish feeling every single time she says that.

“I love you too,” he relished her rosy scent.

An idea suddenly popped into her mind…well not suddenly but she decided it is the perfect moment to be proactive about their future.

“Let’s get married next month,”

His eyes went wide, a wedding in just a month!

He pulled away.

“What are you talking about?”

Her shoulder slumped, she thought he was going to be excited but now he looks unwilling.

“Do you not want to marry me anymore?”

“Of course I do, marrying you has been my everyday wish but I thought you weren’t ready yet so I didn’t bring it up but planning a wedding in one month… I don’t think that is okay,”

“Why is it not okay, it doesn’t have to be a big wedding, we can just have a simple wedding with our friends and families, you also said before that you don’t like socialising with people in your circle so there is no need to make many preparations,”

He sighed then held her hand and raised it to his cheeks.

“Yu Yan, do you know I have always dreamed of what marrying you would be like, I really want to give you the wedding you deserve so there must be extreme and careful preparation but if you say you want to get married in one month then it feels like you don’t care much about the wedding,” now he is the one sulking, everyone woman wants her wedding to be the most beautiful moment of her life but she doesn’t even care about that.

“I do care, I just want to get married to you quickly, I know we are already living together but I want to be your wife and you my husband then we can have kids that look like you,” she retorted as fast as she could but stopped when she realised what she just said.

He chuckled, she looks like a child who is really desperate to get candy and would do anything for it.

He leaned towards her.

“I didn’t know you want kids this much,” he softly whispered in her face, her eyes went round.

She grinned awkwardly as he kept leaning forward and she leaning backwards plus he isn’t wearing any shirt, she took another step back when her back hit the wardrobe, she quickly placed her hands in between them.

Denying won’t help, she should make good use of it instead.

She thought.

“I do want children but don’t get the order wrong, there is still marriage before children so we should get to work as fast as possible,” she smirked then slipped out of his reach, smiling smugly as she tucked herself into bed then looked the other way.

“You should take a shower, you are sweaty,” she teased in satisfaction.

He slightly opened his mouth in surprise, he didn’t think she will try to urge him to get married in one month using their future kids, he will definitely tell them this.

He chuckled before entering the bathroom.

“What! you told him you want to get married in one month?” Jia Yu and An Ke screamed in shock over lunch in their office, since Han Chen has been giving a leave from work which he has been using in his company, she has been staying in their office unless her patients need her consultation.

“Why are you guys acting surprised, a wedding can be planned in one month,” she said

“Yu Yan, are you sure you are not down with a fever, how can you plan a wedding in a month, you need to get a stunning wedding dress, tuxedo, venue, invitation and many other preparation, how can you that in just ONE MONTH,” An Ke rebuked, she couldn’t believe her ears especially since Yu Yan used to dream of a big extravagant wedding with Chen Kai which she knows she shouldn’t bring up now.
