Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 349
Her heels clicked the ground as she strode confidently towards his office holding a designer black purse, unlike the usual white coat and formal outfit underneath she was wearing a loose black belted blazer dress reaching her thigh and ankle strap heels.
Her hair is packed into a neat ponytail and her matte themed makeup gives her a bold look.
Everyone was staring at her as she walked past but she gave no regard to them, she finally stood outside his office.
She smirked before pulling the knob and entering without his permission.
He raised his head to see who it was but was relieved to see it was her, he has been calling her for the past two days and even visited her house but she wasn’t there.
He stood up from his seat to pull the blinds seeing as those outside kept trying to peek inside the office but she pushed him back into his seat and leaned forward with her hand on both sides of the armrest.
She smirked at the confused look on his face while those outside the office were busy imagining what could be going on especially after the breakup.
He glanced outside the glass and twitched at those watching them then he turned to her.
“What are you doing right now?”
“What I am doing is telling you that I have done as you wanted so you had better delete that video right now in front of me,” she responded, staring right into his eyes.
He took his phone from the table and checked the message his secretary sent him and indeed she has done what he told her to.
He smiled in victory then he opened the video for her to see again yet instead of looking away from it, she watched it without any complaint until it started glitching.
He watched her smile widen so he turned back to the video only to see that the file has now disappeared even though he didn’t delete it yet.
He realised something must have gone wrong.
“What is going on?”
She chuckled lightly at his stupid question, she pulled away from him then crossed her arms on her chest.
“You should be asking yourself that question,” she responded
He clenched his jaw tightly knowing she must have played a trick on him these last two days.
“Now that the video is gone, I will take my leave and you can just enjoy the gift I will be sending you soon,” she patted his shoulder then left the office, those who were peeking at them quickly dispersed while Chen Kai pulled down the blinds.
He opened his computer to find the backup he left there in a secret file but that was also gone, he checked his safe for the USB he saved it on but it was nowhere to be found.
He punched the table in frustration as he stood up and started parading the office in an attempt to understand what must have happened.
His phone, safe and computer are passworded with the same password in different format so he couldn’t understand how she managed to get rid of them and why she still helped him despite getting rid of the video.
Then he remembered yesterday when a nurse came to inform him that someone wanted to see him and that person turned out to be the managing director of Han Corporation who came for another business deal but he got rejected and when he returned, he saw Yu Yan coming out of his office.
“Yu Yan?”
It then came to his mind that all his passwords are her birthday and she must have known because he was so obsessed with her.
“Those two colluded against me together,” he deduced.
He immediately stormed out of his office to find her but he found her laughing heartily with two nurses at the reception.
Just as the nurses greeted him, he pulled her hand even before she could turn back to see that it was him then he forced her to enter the elevator taking them to the rooftop but she refused to climb the stairs any further after the first set, she is not stupid to go up the roof when he can just push her off.
“Chen Kai,” she yelled, she knew he must have found out what she did or he won’t be acting like an angry bull.
“What did you do in my office yesterday?” he asked, giving up on taking her to the rooftop.
She snapped her wrist from his grip then rubbed it to ease the pain.
“Why are you asking when you already know the answer?”
He placed his hands on her shoulder gently and exhaled to calm himself down because at the moment he is on the verge of hurting her.
“Yu Yan, tell me why you did it, you and Xiaomeng are enemies anyway so why would you help her?”
The frustration of not knowing what they both planned is eating him up.
She brushed his hands away from her shoulder.
“Without you in the picture, we were never enemies,” she answered without flinching despite the danger in his eyes.
He turned around and shut his eyes, he could feel his anger level rising like never before.
“If you helped her then you must know what she is planning by giving me what I wanted even without the video existence,” he faced her again in a calm tone.
“Do you think I will tell you? I am leaving,” she climbed down the first step before he held her hand to pull her back but she locked his hands and pulled his neck forward in a choke.
She scoffed.
“It seems to be that you have forgotten my martial skills,” she whispered in his ear, it has been so long since she used her skills that even she almost forgot she can just land him in the hospital with one kick , letting him pull her whenever he wants.
“Let me go,” he hissed trying to jack her but her arms didn’t bulge, all this while he thought he could overpower her.
“As you wish,”
She pushed him forward, causing him to roll down the stairs and finally slamming his head against the ground.
He groaned in pain but she just walked past him without sparing a glance, she came out of the emergency door when she met Li Chen running towards her, he stopped then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her come out.
He was already imagining the things that could go wrong if Chen Kai loses it on the rooftop after the trick they played on him.
“Are you alright?” he asked, holding her hand to examine her but she smiled reassuringly.
“Perfectly alright,” the tone of her voice sounded like she has just done something nasty so he took a peek behind the door only to see Chen Kai holding his head and groaning, he clicked his tongue and returned to her front, chuckling lightly.
“It has been a while since you did that,” he remarked then they left.

She was humming happily while preparing dinner and checking the time at regular intervals to know how long until he returns, she finished preparing the food then started setting the dishes on the table, she just arranged the last dish when he entered.
Her face beamed with excitement as she ran up to him and threw her arms around him, he reciprocated the hug even with the office bag in his hand.
“Are you cooking?”
He could smell the food on her, she pulled away then nodded at him before taking him to the dining where she sat him down and returned to the kitchen to take off her apron, when she returned she met him staring at the food with a surprised look on his face.
“D-did you cook all this?” he asked in doubt staring at the elaborate dinner on the table.
She took her seat beside him, nodding in response.
“You never used to cook, is today a special day?” he took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves to start digging in.
“Not really, I just feel good today after using my skills,”
He was just about to eat a piece of the pepper steak when he dropped the piece back in the plate.
“Your skills?”
“That scumbag almost pulled me to the rooftop today but I ended up choking up and pushing him down the stairs, I really can’t explain just how satisfying it was,” she narrated, taking a spoonful of rice.
“You should have done more,”
He shook his head in appreciation of the refined taste of the dishes after tasting them one by one, his reactions were already enough compliment for her since he just continued eating without stopping for once.
“How are the wedding preparations coming along?”
“The venue, catering, decorations and all other preparations have been taken care of except for your dress and my tuxedo though that is being taken care of by a famous wedding dress designer,” he answered then cleaned his mouth.
She realised for the nth time that he is really awesome, how can he arrange a grand wedding in such a short time when she was just thinking of a simple wedding because of the short preparation time.
She gave him a thumbs up.
“You are really awesome, husband to be,” she remarked.
“Then you should reward me with more dinners prepared by you,”
“That is not part of the package,” she immediately defused his wishful thought if he thinks it is possible for her to cook every night despite her job when he is the one who mostly does the cooking.
