Romance Of Flame And Ice Chapter 142

"I am glad you know that....anyway thank you," she said then she looked to her side where she found her Versace shoulder bag, she opened the door and stepped one of her legs outside the door when something came into her mind, she turned around and closed the door with her eyes narrowed at him and her head slightly tilted, overall, she had a suspicious look on her face.
"What is it?" he asked, seeing the suspicious look she is giving him.
"I am just curious as to how you knew my house address, I mean...I don't think I ever mentioned it to you did I?" Yu Yan asked.
"oh....about that, ehmmn..." he itched the back of his head for an excuse to give while she doubtfully scrunched up her mouth and nodded her head in anticipation of his answer, his hesitation made her even more suspicious of him.
"ehmmn....where else would I have gotten it from if not from Jia Yu?" Han Chen answered he sniffed his nose and swallowed his saliva while he slowly turned his head away from her, looking outside the glass window he prayed in his heart that she would just believe his lie and take it as it is.
"Jia Yu...uhn" Yu Yan questioned seeing his suspicious behaviour but she also couldn't think of another way he could have gotten her house address, he nodded his head in affirmation then she decided to take his answer for it, she turned back and opened the door, she raised her head as soon as she came out of the car but she was startled by the two teenagers standing outside the car with their hands crossed on their chest.
"aaaarrgghhhhh!" she screamed then she quickly entered the car again and shut the car door, Han Chen furrowed his forehead when he heard her scream and enter the car again, he stretched his neck to look outside the window in order to find what or who had scared her but she held his face with both of her hands on each cheek and pulled his face away from their view.
His mouth and cheeks were scrunched up by her hand but she had an embarrassed look on her face, then the both of them heard a knock on the car, he turned to look at who it is but she pulled his face back to her front with a scolding look in her eyes.
The two teenagers walked around to the driver's side to peek inside the car, seeing as they had already changed position, she held his face with more grip while she moved her eyebrows up and down to signal them to stop peeking into the car.
"Aunt Yu Yan!" the two teenagers shouted as they knocked the window but they just made her more embarrassed, since he could hear what they were saying outside, he raised one of his eyebrows at the way they addressed her.
"Aunt Yu Yan!" he pronounced with much effort since she used too much force in holding his face, his face had a quizzical look but she wasn't in the mood to answer his question.
"I am going to leave the car now, make sure you bury your face the moment I leave the car," Yu Yan instructed, the look on her face made it seem like her life depends on it and that just made him curious about the person or people outside.
"Why should I? this is my car?" Han Chen mumbled, she was gripping his face too hard that he struggled to speak and his widened eyes made him look really funny like a Squidward, a small-headed cartoon character with big bulging eyes, she folded her lips together to stop herself from laughing because of his funny expression but he felt more wronged that she was even laughing at him even though it is her fault that his face is all squished up.

Looking back at the two teenagers outside, the urge to laugh disappeared...
"Shut up and just do as I say," She answered then she hurriedly opened the door and jolted out of the car, the teenagers hurriedly ran to the other side to see the man's face but Yu Yan blocked their view by standing in front of the window and spreading out her arm even though Han Chen did as she ordered.
"What are you looking at?" Yu Yan questioned with a guilty look on her face but Li Na and Li Jing still stretched their necks to see who the man inside the car is.
"Aunt, didn't you say you were going to the hospital, it turns out that you are on a date with a man," Li Na accused with a suspicious look in her eyes, she folded her arms on her chest and squinted her eyes at her aunt who was still protective of the man inside the car while Li Jing nodded their head in agreement.
"Don't say what you don't know, who said I was on a date,?" Yu Yan retorted.
"If not?" the both of them queried in unison.
"What are you saying? he is just a colleague," Yu Yan lied and used one of her hand to brush away the wavy strands of hair floating around her face, then she clutched them behind her ear.
"Your colleague..." the twins repeated then they glanced at each other with a doubtful smile on their lips before turning back to her.
"If he is just a colleague then why don't you introduce him to us?" they chorused in unison, Yu Yan was shocked by how synced they were, she couldn't believe that the twins that were going against each other are so perfect when they are collaborating against her.
"Are you two for real?...."
"Yes, hundred per cent," Li Na replied with an evil smirk hanging on her lips, but before she could say anything else, the car had already started moving, the both of them unfolded their arms and stretched their neck to look at the man's face before his car disappears but they only caught the side view of his face.
"Are you done now?" Yu Yan questioned seeing as they were still trying their very best to see more of his face before the car disappears out of their sight, but Li Na looked dazed and lost in thoughts.
"Aunt, that man is so handsome!" Li Na shouted but Yu Yan quickly covered her mouth and turned back to see many eyes staring at them, she smiled at them and nodded awkwardly to tell apologize to them then she glared at Li Na before removing her hand from her mouth.
"oh my gosh! I don't know about his front view but his side view is so handsome," Li Na drawled and swallowed her saliva with her eyes fixed on the direction the car drove towards but Yu Yan snapped her finger to bring her out of her thoughts and shook her body before she finally regained her senses, even her brother was staring at her in disbelief, he also thought that the side view of the man looked really handsome but he was irritated by his sister who is drawling for the side view of a man she hasn't even seen his face fully.
"Aunt please hook me up with him," Li Na pleaded with her hands clasped together and her lips pouted, Huo Ying and Li Jing exchanged glances with their mouths slightly opened.

"Why...didn't you say he is your colleague, then let me have him?" Li Na continued, Yu Yan nodded her head still in disbelief then she flicked her forehead to make her return to her senses.
"Why did you do that?" Li Na screamed in pain as she rubbed her forehead.
"How can you ask me to hook you up with someone who is old enough to be your uncle, do you realize that we are in the same age group and what did I tell you about teenage love?" Yu Yan scolded while Li Na bit her lips and folded her arm on her chest with a frown on her face.
"You deserve it," Li Jing added but he turned the other way seeing her glare at him.
"Let's go in," Yu Yan said then she turned around to leave with Li Jing while Li Na still stood on the same spot.
"How about I tell grandma and grandpa about your handsome colleague?" Li Na threatened with a sinister look on her face, making Yu Yan freeze, she quickly turned back with a terrified look on her face.
"I dare you!"
"Why can't I, after all....he...is...just....your...colleague,"
"You...."
"are you going to hook me up or not?" Li Na asked with a triumphant look on her face, seeing her pissed of aunt pointing at her while she bit her lower lips, Yu Yan shook her hand then she dropped her finger and straightened her face.
"Very good...you have now learnt to threaten your aunt, isn't it? even if you tattle, I will never hook you up," Yu Yan said in a resolution.
"Why not?" Li Na sulked
"Because I don't want to," Yu Yan replied with her eyes widened at her nephew.
"Alright..." Li Na conceded, knowing that even if she reports her to her parent, she wouldn't gain anything and she was only bluffing by the way.
"But you owe me one,"
"As long as you don't ask for something immoral or something that goes against my conscience,"
"Really, isn't that a historical drama line,"
"Whatever,"
"Alright then" Li Na agreed then the both of them started walking towards the apartment, leaving Li Jing who was watching their drama with his hands folded on his chest, he couldn't believe that the both of them were acting like age mates, he shook his head and started walking behind them.
"Mom, I am back," Yu Yan announced as she and the teens entered their apartment, they removed their shoes and changed into a pair of slippers before entering the living room, the twins immediately ran to the parlour while she took her time to walk around the house in search of her brother and her parents.
"Mom, Dad, Brother!" Yu Yan called as she walked into the kitchen and then walked back to the parlour, she was surprised to see both of them fighting for the remote and pulling it like they are playing the tug of war.
"What are both of you doing?" Yu Yan asked with a confused look on her face and her hands placed on her waist.
"I took the remote first but he wouldn't let me have it," Li Na complained then Yu Yan turned to Li Jing with a quizzical look on her face, he quickly understood the meaning behind the look.
"Aunt...I took the remote first but she wouldn't let go of it,"
"Liar, I took it first,"
"Liar, I took it first,"
"You are such a big liar, I am clearly the one who took it first but you dragged it from me when I took it,"
"Liar!"
"You are the one lying, tch!"
Yu Yan held her head with both of her hands, she shut her eyes tightly and bit her lower lips, the noise was already affecting her and she is in no mood to stand there and watch them fight.
"Stop!!" she yelled, both of them instantly turned to her with a startled look on her face, they had almost forgotten that she is standing in front of them, she took in a deep breath to prevent herself from exploding and pouring out all the stress her body has accumulated for some time on them.
"Are you kids, why would you be fighting for a remote?" Yu Yan asked with an angry look on her face, they were surprised by her change in character in just a few minutes, thinking back, she has never really been strict with them.
"But I..."
"No but, drop the remote on the shelf and retreat to your rooms immediately, I am in no mood for your quarrel tonight," Yu Yan said with her hands pointing at the direction of their rooms, Li Jing quickly did as she said, he wasn't afraid of her since he is now a teenager but her change in character showed them how serious the situation is for her, they might have teased her and frustrated her on purpose sometimes but they loved her dearly.
"Are you okay, Aunt?" Li Na asked with a concerned look on her face, she pushed her hair back with both hands and took in a deep breath.
"I am okay, Just go," Yu Yan replied softly, the both of them nodded at each other then they walked away towards their room but they turned back to make sure that she is alright, seeing as she was massaging the side of her head, they could tell that she was stressed.
Maybe she wasn't on a date after all!
Yu Yan pulled off her bag from her shoulder, then she held it in her hand while she retired to her room with the bag sweeping on the ground, she undressed and changed into her thick and furry mickey mouse bathrobe with her wavy hair tied behind her back using her mickey mouse scrunchy, dragging her feet, she entered the bathroom.
She stood in front of the mirror and stared at her reflection in the mirror with her hands resting on the bathroom sink installed on the wall, she bent her head and closed her eyes, taking in another deep breath, she felt stuffed and troubled but she couldn't tell what was troubling her, she has always been stressed ever since she became a general surgeon and she is already quite used to it but these feelings felt worse.
Just then, a thought popped into her head...

B's Grand Adventure
It has been two hundred years since the first contact with aliens from the planet Proxima Centauri. It has been about one hundred and ninety-eight since the Centurians and humans accidentally connected their computer systems together. That same year Centurian virus took over almost all of humanity's computers. This was right about the time a huge solar flare knocked out all communication on Earth. Some time between then and now secrets were revealed, like secret societies, where the nukes were being hidden, and, most importantly, that there were Fae, magic beings, living among humanity all this time. The Proxima Centurians eventually came to the now weakened Earth to 'check on' humanity about fifty years ago. Some say they are here to colonize what's left of the city-states and raiders alike. But now we focus on a young man who has earned the ire of a Centurian colony and a powerful half-Fae named Jormungrand. This young man has chosen the name for himself as B.

On Astral Tides: From Humble Freelancer To Astral Emperor
What would you do if one day you were told you were one of the chosen who would have to battle to save the world? Akio was an average guy, having moved to the big city from his humble town in the mountains. Sure, his IT freelancing job wasn't making him big money, and he wasn't exactly a hit with the ladies, but life wasn't all that bad... until one day a mysterious angel-like being visited him to tell him the Earth was in danger. Many would be chosen to fight this fate, but would any succeed? Of course, if one could have the usual cheat skills everything would work out, wouldn't it? So why was his skill like a garbage pay-to-win mobile game? Akio would have to not only hone his skills and build his Astral Empire, but he would need to raise money, secure land and become a player on Earth too! Facing this challenging task alone would surely be impossible, so Akio needs to make strong and beautiful allies to take on all those who would oppose him. Who would that be, you ask? The old myths of Earth are returning, alien invaders are waiting outside on the Astral Tides, Cultivators are looking for their next faces to slap, Demons are whispering poison into the ears of anyone who would listen, and whoever was trying to save Earth by granting various people powers were making some really awful choices... Join Akio as he starts at the bottom of the ladder, clawing his way to the top and discovering one can change their destiny, so long as they work hard (and have a boat-load of money!). [Note this story is Harem, and since many don't like that, be warned! It's more Sevens than Isekai Smartphone though. There will be some R-15/18 scenes for the Harem (though I have toned down the one posted here from the original drafts more to the R15 side.] The story is pretty much evenly split between progression fantasy and real-world character building and events, hopefully blending together to make a compelling narrative about how someone could change themselves and the people around them for the better if given the chance by some miraculous intervention, while also hopefully saving the world (and maybe other worlds too.] Update schedule revised: Minimum 3/week - Tues/Wed/Thurs but will aim to hit 5/week where possible If you have any questions re: future plot turns/types of things that might happen and want to know so you know whether you'd find it worth your time reading, feel free to drop me a PM and I'll let you know. No story is for everyone, so no worries!
