Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 370

“I am Lieutenant Chang Wei,” he introduced himself. He already got the information on her before coming here after watching a video of Han Corporation and their wedding. Publicizing himself like that after his feat in the military is like asking for death from the people he has offended during his missions. Since he always covers his face during the mission, he is safe but the moment word leaks out that he belongs to a special op in the military then his enemies will come at him and…his beautiful wife.

She stared at him blankly for a while but she could feel her heart ramming against her chest for a reason she doesn’t know, something tells her this strange man that has approached her has something to do with why Han Chen was so stressed last night.

He returned home but he found the old nanny just in front of the door with her bag in her hands he assumed she must be leaving.

“I thought you were going to stay here for one more day,” he said, the look she gave him told her there is trouble but she doesn’t seem to want to say anything about it.

“I will come back tomorrow, you should go in now,” she merely answered and walked past him. He panicked as he held his blazer tighter and gripped the handle of his office bag. He entered the apartment and called her name as he went from the living room to the kitchen, workout room then their bedroom.

“Yu Yan-” he called but froze at the sight of their wedding portrait shattered on the ground while she seats soullessly at the edge of the bed with her face looking like she has been crying. He dropped his bag and overcoat on the ground then he knelt in front of her, disregarding the glass on the floor.

“Yu Yan, are you alright?” he asked with concern all over his face, she shifted her hate-filled gaze to him and scoffed. Others would get angry or ask about what happened but all he cares about is if she is alright…still he shouldn’t have deceived her.

“What a loving but deceitful husband you are,” her gaze sharpened with hate, he raised his brow at it.

She has never looked at him like that before, the look in her eyes shreds his heart into a thousand pieces. He placed his hands on her shoulder and glanced over her calmly.

“Did I do something wrong?”

She became so enraged by the question that she pushed his hands away and dashed a slap across his face.

Her eyes fell on the bleeding hands that has just been stabbed by the shards of glass on the ground, she stepped forward to help him but she held herself.

Despite his injury, he stood up after her and held her hand with a pleading look on his face.

He already guessed what she had found out and how she found out.

“Yu Yan, please listen to me, I didn’t mean that to lie to you. I had already resigned before leaving but they-”

She snapped her hands away from his grip.

“No! lying to me was your intention or you would have told me everything about you, what you did before we met and what you are currently doing…you would have told me everything,” she has despair in her voice, she doesn’t even know if she is angry because his life is going to be endangered or because he deceived her for so long, maybe both.

“I am really sorry…” he dropped to his knees and wrapped his arm around her swollen belly, resting his head gently on her belly.

“How could you…were you planning to go without telling me, you will leave me and your child to go to some dangerous place,”

She started sobbing.

“After he told me, the first thing I thought about was how much danger you were in…you could have died before I even have the chance to meet you again,”

“I am sorry…” he whispered against her belly as she threw her fist on his shoulder repeatedly. Her legs weakened because of the pain she felt in her heart and the stress she put herself under when he scattered the entire place in anger and cried until he came in.

He helped her to the bed then he knelt in front of her again.

“I really didn’t know they were going to make me do this last mission again and I have tried my best to avoid it but I don’t think I can this time…Yu Yan…”

“You can’t go, You are not going, right?!” She yelled at him, she can’t even believe he is really thinking of going in her current condition.

“Yu Yan…”

“No! if anything happens to you, how will I be able to live without you,” she held his hands tightly as tears welled down her cheeks.

“You are the CEO of Han Corporation, you can stop it with your influence. Han Chen please…”

He ran his tongue over his lips then raised his head to meet her eyes.

“As the captain of the secret service, I can’t let my targets know who I am or see my face so if I oppose this mission I will not only be putting my life in danger but yours too,”

“I don’t care, just don’t go” she pleaded and started crying aloud as her chest heaved up and down, the anger in her is too little compared to the fear that he might never come back to her.

He cupped her face in his palm.

“Yu Yan, I have always survived without injuries, you have seen my entire body so you know best that I have no scar so I can assure you that this time will be the same too. I will finish this mission as early as I can and come back to you safely and unscathed,” he stroked her cheeks reassuringly. She could see the confidence in his eyes, her heart trusts him but her head doesn’t and she doesn’t think the baby in her belly trusts him either.

{What if he never returns?}

That is the only question that plagued her mind when she heard about it and it is still plaguing her mind at this moment. She really can’t let him go…no matter what.

She brushed his hands away from her face then she laid on the bed and turned her face away from him. She didn’t even use the support pillow and it worries him that her back might be aching but he knows any attempt he makes to care for her will make her go harder on herself.

He changed into his nightwear without even taking a shower then he laid beside her, he tried to hug her from behind but she pushed his hands away again.

{I am really going for you and our baby}

He really wants her to know this but if he emphasizes it then she will blame herself and also the child inside her so he decided to be the villain. With his influence he can easily avoid this mission, he knows the major general and Lieutenant Chang Wei definitely has a hand in this and he will get back at them in due time.

He waited until she fell asleep then he placed the support behind her and embraced her. The dim light fell on her face and the dried-up tears is still clearly visible. He is worried this stress she has put herself into might affect her and the baby adversely.

She woke up the next morning feeling a throbbing pain in her forehead, perhaps because of the tears she shed last night. She turned to her side but she couldn’t see him so she immediately became alarmed thinking he must have already left her.

She scurried out of the bed, calling his name. She checked their room first and she was about to go downstairs when she heard the sound of water from the bathroom so she hurried inside to confirm he is really there.

“Han Chen!” she called in an alarmed tone.

“Yu Yan,” he answered just as she barged into the bathroom.

He could hear her ragged breathing. She sighed in relief then walked towards him and hugged him tightly. He was still in the process of tying his bathrobe so his hair and body is still wet and his chest is left open, nonetheless, he reciprocated the hug.
