Romance Of Flame And Ice Chapter 277

"You are talking about Chen Kai right?" he interrupted, he didn't think Yu Yan would tell her but it made him feel better about it.
"Brother," she took her seat beside him and held his hand in between hers.
"You can't let that scumbag get away with this. First, he dumped Yu Yan in the most embarrassing way, secondly, his parents destroyed the evidence of Alan Chen pushing Yu Yan because of his father who is a board member and now he forcefully kissed her. They only managed to do this because dad and mom were not in the country and they know my parents never get use their power on other families but you are not like them..." she squeezed his hand and moved closer to him.
"You surely wouldn't let them go right, you don't know how frustrated I have been all these months knowing that those two are still smiling happily while I couldn't do anything because I was too focused on your recovery but now that you are awake, it is time for us to take revenge on her behalf..."
Her eyes had a dark glint to them that he recognises very well, she only had it once because of him but now she also has it because of Yu Yan, he didn't think she cares for Yu Yan as much as this.
He flicked her forehead and smiled faintly.
"You will make a good sister-in-law," he teased but her frown only deepened.
"Brother, I am not joking, don't you think it is time you use your real identity, everyone thinks I have another cousin because my cousin should be the CEO of the wealthiest and influential corporate group in the country and I also don't like keeping anything from Ji Chen and Yu Yan but you are making me a liar, don't you think it is time you use this identity to take revenge on them," she implored with a pleading smile on her lips.
She waited for his answer but he just kept staring at her like an idiot, she just couldn't understand why he is not saying anything and it just infuriates her.
She scoffed then glared at him.
"What did I expect from someone who is willing to leave his dead parent's hard work and even his adopted brother whom he adopted to replace his brother just to leave a stupid free life," she stood up in annoyance after tugging at his wound but just as she was about to leave the room, his phone rang.

Dring!
Dring!
Dring!
He picked up the call.
{Chairman I have done as you said, two subsidiaries of Chen group has been taken over, very soon they will soon suffer losses, by then I will do as you have said and approach them with a partnership offer,}
"You have done well managing director," he ended the call then looked up at her.
Her shoulders fell at the realization of what she had just done, she rubbed her hands over each other in guilt and bit her lips as she returned to his side.
"Leave," he hissed with his face turned away from her.
She knew she shouldn't have gone that far, even though she spilt what she truly feels in her heart, she didn't mean it to be that harsh.
"I am sorry, I just didn't want you to keep living away from us, especially him---"
He remembered his guilt, how can he blame her when everything she said is the truth, if only he didn't use him as a replacement then the poor child won't have to feel like the substitute of someone who is dead.
"It is not your fault, have you seen him these days?" he questioned.
"He actually called me yesterday, brother, I know you feel guilty but you really should see him and assure him that he is not what he thinks he is, he has always looked up to you but when he heard you say that---you can't imagine how hurt he was,"
"I should but I can't, how do I look him in the eye and say I didn't make aunt adopt him because I wanted a replacement of my brother even if that has changed now, I---" the words felt too heavy and his throat tightened, when he remembers how he hurt the one who considered him to be his hero, he still feels guilty.
Jia Yu sighed then wrapped her arms around his neck.
"When he called me, I could hear the sadness in his voice, he told me he met someone he hates deeply but he can't help feeling sad and lonely when that person pretended he didn't exist, that person must have been you,"
He wrapped his arms around her back and exhaled deeply.
Yu Yan who had just arrived when they started talking about the adopted brother turned back so as not to disturb them when she saw them hugging.

{This person must be very important to them both but how come I don't know him,}
She wondered.
Ever since Han Chen appearance, she just can't help feeling she doesn't know Jia Yu and her godparents as much as she thought.

He sat on the bar stool in the minibar of her apartment, his heartfelt too heavy and the drinks don't seem to be helping with the loneliness and misery he feels, he has people around him and some swooning over him all day but no one can replace the one person who he will always miss.
The memories of when they first met and how he saved him kept replaying in his head but it only made his loneliness worse, he wished he never met him.
The sound of the door to the apartment opening couldn't even bring him out of his sad state.
"Is someone here? Ji Chen!!" she called, thinking Ji Chen is the one in her apartment.
"It can't be, he told me he has a night shi---" her words hung at her throat when she saw him seating in the minibar with a large glass and bottle of alcohol in his front.
She quickly rushed towards him, just as he was about to gulp down another glass, she grabbed it from him and placed it far away then she turned to him with worry-filled eyes.
"Han Li!" she yelled.
"Why exactly are you doing this again, do you want to end up in the hospital again?" she questioned with mixed emotions, she didn't know if she should be pitying him or getting angry at him.
"Sister Jia Yu, you are here," he grinned senselessly.
She pursed her lips and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Han Li, how many times do I have to tell you that you are a minor and drinking to drown yourself in sadness will not help you, do you really want to go back to a half-dead state?" she dreads the thought of it just thinking of the time when he hurt himself.
"You know, I used to hate him and I still hate him but I thought he will at least come to see me once if I am almost dead but he didn't, you say he is feeling guilty but why do I think otherwise..." he raised his eyes to meet hers.
"What if he just doesn't want me anymore, why did he have to give me hope of having someone to love and care for me if he didn't care about me, am I really that hateful!" he yelled on top of his voice then threw down the bottle of wine.
She widened her eyes in shock. She didn't think he has gotten this worse...once again.
"How many times do I have to tell you that he didn't come to see you then because he was on a mission and---"
"Lies! that is a lie if that was his excuse then but what of now, he came to the school to see someone else with a woman but he couldn't meet me..." his voice turned melancholic, he felt too tired, he has done all he could to keep himself from thinking about this by boxing, playing tennis endlessly, only then did he decide to drink.
She sighed not knowing what to say, unless Han Chen meets him himself, she knows he will never believe anything she says.
She stepped forward and placed his head on her shoulder then she patted his head gently to console him.
She just couldn't understand both of them but her brother is the most senseless person to her, he makes his feelings and emotions towards others too complicated and unbearing except for Yu Yan.
"Do you think he has really forgotten me?" he drawly asked with his head on her shoulder.
"You are surnamed Han, the younger brother of the chairman of Han Corporate group so you can never be forgotten, not by him or anyone else,"
"Really,"
"You know I would never lie to you," she sighed and stroked his hair.

In the Chen mansion.
"Chen Kai!" the coarse yet weary voice resounded in the mansion as the chairman walked around the mansion with a golf stick in his hands and his wife following after him with cries of pleas which he turned deaf ears to.
"Dad,"

The yuri/GL Is an extremely slow burn one and the focus is more on the relationship dynamics than romance. =====Author Notes===== This is my first writing attempt, and in the spirit of full disclosure, I am not a native English speaker and I am hoping to use this chance to improve my writing. Constructive criticisms are always welcome. I have a full-time job but I would try to keep the releases consistent.
