Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 365

“Mother is not an unreasonable person, she might reject Bohai but she won’t go as far as locking her up unless she has seen through him, she is doing all these for her good,”

“I am glad you understand her,” he placed her hand on top of his then patted her hand.

” But I won’t let her find out about us like she did with Huo Lan and Bohai, I will be the one to tell her,” he said in a reassuring tone but she could hear a hint of worry in his voice other than his resolution.

“Is there something you are worried about?” she asked

He has been thinking about this since they got together but he doesn’t want her to think he is thinking too deep into the matter so he kept quiet all this while.

“I have always suspected your parents want you to marry Mo Yihuan,”

“What!” She screamed.

Sssh, he cautioned.

She broke into a peal of laughter while he watched her as he tried to figure out what is funny about what he just said.

“Brother Mo is a brother to me, I am sure even he would disagree to this if this is what they are thinking,”

“He…” he is not yet sure of what he is about to say.

“I had better leave now to take care of my duties, remember not to leave your room until the scar heals or Huo Lan will be implicated,”

She hummed obediently, then he left the room.

Even after he left, what he said still sounds funny to her. Mo Yihuan is the brother she never had and she always wanted Huo Lan to meet him.

She can’t wait to tell him about it cos even he will find it hilarious, now that she thinks of it, Mo Yihuan has never met Huo Lan not even when they were little and she was isolated in the sect.

*******

After spending one month in the village with the company of the old people who are very familiar with his family, they returned home. She returned to continue working at the hospital. Both couples visited their in-laws and Jia Yu also paid a visit to Yu Yan’s parents.

Just as they thought, everyone already started urging them to have babies.

When she returned she found out that the issue with the liver donor patient has been solved and the VIP priority system is no longer in place.

She wasn’t surprised to find that An Ke is now on good terms with Li Wei.

The nurses kept hovering around her to ask her questions about Han Han Chen and awkward ones like their first night.

She was going to greet her team leader but she found out that she has already left the hospital and a new person is now occupying her position. She gave her a call and she apologised for not telling her sooner.

After a long day at work, she returned home? his mansion.

He was going to make them live in her apartment but she knows he would have left the mansion if it didn’t have memories of his family and she doesn’t want him to miss that so she insisted they alternate between living in the mansion and her apartment.

“You are already the wife of the CEO of a conglomerate so why are you still working?” A doctor asked as she walked in on Yu Yan discussing with the nurse at the reception with her brows furrowed.

Anyone in her position will just sit home and enjoy the rest of their lives.

Yu Yan looked to her side with a disapproving look on her face, she recognise the doctor to be someone who is very close to Xiaomeng.

“What is the connection?” She asked, facing the documents she is filling.

“Your husband is rich enough so you don’t have to work,”

Yu Yan slammed the pen on the document then turned to the lady.

“Not everything is about money,”

She picked the document from the desk then walked away while the nurse she was speaking to gave the doctor a nasty look.

She retired from work that day feeling very tired despite not doing much today except a few rounds and consultations, she still kept in mind that most of her colleagues are treating her differently and it is having a big influence on her mood.

He is sitting in the parlour while she keeps parading the house with deep sighs each time she passes him, he couldn’t focus his attention on the book he is reading so he decided to go to her so he can make her share her concerns as this has been going on for some days now.

He walked in on her cleaning the already cleaned dishes so he hugged her from behind.

“Haven’t you cleaned them before, why are you redoing it?” he asked softly.

She sighed again.

“I just feel like, are you done reading?” her voice sounded cold, making his smile fade.

He hummed in response, she placed the plate she was cleaning on the pavement then she removed his arm from her waist and turned around to face him.

“If you are done reading then you should sleep, I will come to bed soon,”

Normally, she would smile faintly and look or sound concerned but this time she looks really detached like she doesn’t even want him around. In fact, it seems like she doesn’t want anything around.

She didn’t even eat much at dinner.

“Are you alright?”

“Yes, you should go now,”

She turned her back at him to continue cleaning the plate but he couldn’t leave like that so he held her hand to turn her around but the plate dropped to the ground, causing the pieces to scatter everywhere.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to,” he apologised, seeing the deep frown on her face.

She bent to pick it but he tried pulling her aside so the glass doesn’t hurt her, she snapped her hand out of his grip.

“I will do it myself, I want to be alone,” she yelled at him, he was stunned for a moment at the fact that she just raised her voice at him. He became convinced that there is indeed something wrong with her and he doesn’t want to upset her more so he decided to leave her be.

He laid on his back in his pyjamas, staring into space while thinking of all the possible reasons she might be upset for but he couldn’t find any so he could only conclude that it must have something to do with her workplace.

As soon as he heard the door open, he quickly turned to his side with his back facing the entrance of the bedroom.

She rubbed her palms in guilt as she walked towards the bed slowly. After he left, she realised that she was being too harsh for no reason so she decided to apologise after she showers and changes into her pyjamas.

“Are you sleeping?” she asked, after waiting for a while with no reply she got into the bed and laid on her back.

She knows she wouldn’t be able to sleep if she doesn’t apologise now but since he is already asleep, she doesn’t want to disturb him so she shifted closer to him then laid her hand on his arm.

“I am sorry,” she whispered thinking he is not awake.

“Did something happen at work today?” she heard him ask, she was surprised he is still awake so she removed her hand from his body and shifted back. He turned to her with a quizzical look on his face.

“Nothing much, I just feel like I am being treated differently at work, some are being nicer to me but their intentions are unclear while some talk behind my back and make some stupid remarks,” even she doesn’t know if that is the reason for her sudden mood change.

He tucked the strands on her face behind her ear.

“You shouldn’t mind them,” he drew her closer to his embrace then stroked her hair to help her sleep. It didn’t take long for the both of them to fall asleep.

She woke up the next day with a fever but she insisted on going to work so she can get herself tested and also do her work, he had no choice but to let her go after much coaxing cos he doesn’t want to ruin her mood again.

“Yu Yan, are you going to see-”

An Ke paused when she came face to face with her, she looks as pale as a sheet of paper that she became worried instantly.

“Are you alright?” she asked as she placed her hand on her forehead.

She hummed in response as she walked towards her office while An Ke followed behind her, she sat on her desk then sighed deeply.

“You have a high temperature, have you seen the doctor?”

“I am a doctor myself, I will just take the fever medicine and it will be alright.. Don’t worry about it,” she opened her drawer to get the medicine then she opened a bottle of water to drink but An Ke stopped her.
