Romance Of Flame And Ice Chapter 357

"godmother," she called with guilt written almost over her face.
The woman before her looks so haggard and worn out that she almost couldn't recognise her, the high and lofty mannerism is nowhere to be found, even with the same, she rushed towards Xiaomeng and held her hand with a pleading gaze in her eyes.
"I know Chen Kai has hurt you but please for old times sake, help him," she pleaded.
"godmother..." she has never seen her like this before.
"It is all my fault for forcing him into the relationship because I adored you and I am not asking you to forgive him but if my husband finds him first then he will certainly die, so please..."
She might be anything but she has always been caring towards her since she was little and treated her like her own child but she can't do anything to help her, if Chen Kai knows the gravity of the situation then he would have fled to a place no one can find him.
"Even if I find him I won't help him but I will let you know," she gently brushed her hands away from hers then walked away while she followed behind her, calling her name to bring her back. Mr Chen let her in to check on his wife even though she assisted in bringing about the fall of his company but she left quickly because she knows she won't be able to resist if Mrs Chen keeps pleading.
She is ready determined to live the life she always wanted as her father's helper in his company, she cast aside her dream of leading her father's company one day just to stick with him so he can see just how compatible they are.

Han Chen and Ji Chen walked about the waiting room frantically, they both couldn't wait to see their brides appear in their wedding dresses. The staff were laughing at them seeing as they are acting like husbands waiting for their wives in labour.
"Sirs, please be at ease, you will be seeing your beautiful brides soon," one of the staff said while the others chuckled, both glanced at each other at the realisation they are overreacting but just at that moment the curtains to both showrooms slowly parted.
They froze as they gulped their non-existent saliva to behold their brides to be...first their face then their entire body became visible.

Their eyes went round as they gasped in awe of the sight before them, even the staff were amazed by how beautiful the both of them look.
Both men found themselves smiling broadly without even realising it.
Yu Yan and Jia Yu were so obsessed with twinning everything on their wedding day so they decided to get the same dress and here they are standing in the same dress.
They are in a white sparkly off shoulder lace ball gown wedding dress, decorated with fluffs on the chest, silver sparkles all over the gown and see-through long sleeves.
Their hair is styled in a bun and adorned with a tiara anchoring the veil reaching up to their waist.
They were grinning ear to ear as they waited for one of the men to say something but both were still staring at him.
The staff who helped them change cleared her throat to bring both back to reality.
"Ah...y-you," Han Chen couldn't find the words for this moment, he used to imagine this moment from the minute they started dating but he never thought that his imaginations would lose in such a wide contrast to the woman in front of him, even his cousin his looking extremely pretty that he feels like a father leading his daughter up the aisle.
He placed his mouth over his mouth then turned around.
They glanced at each other before turning to him.
"You are not crying...right?"
They couldn't believe he is crying because they are in a wedding dress, Ji Chen could feel what he is feeling but all he wants to do is just carry Jia Yu in his arms and twirl her around but he held himself back knowing the heavy dress will probably break his back before he can even carry her on the wedding day.
He threw her a kiss and mouthed 'You are so beautiful'.
She threw him a kiss and giggled in response, Yu Yan felt jealous watching the duo, she wished Han Chen would stop acting like an old man and compliment her in words or actions, not sobbing with his back turned at her.
Frowning her face, she turned to the staff.
"Please help me get changed," she said, they were surprised that she wants to change so early and her mood seems to have changed, Han Chen swiftly turned back but she had already entered the changing room before he could say anything.

A few minutes later, they are now inside the car driving back home but she keeps looking out the window and frowning.
"Don't you like the dress? I can get someone to make another one if you want," he couldn't think of another reason for her frown.
"It is just a few days to the wedding, how is that possible?" She still wasn't looking at him.
"Anything is possible as long as it is for you,"
"I am fine with the dress," she just can't understand why he can't point out the real why she is angry.
He kept taking his eyes off the road to glance at her, he was already getting frustrated so he suddenly brought the car to a stop at the side of the road.
"Please don't punish me like this, just tell me what I did wrong,"
"I am fine, lets get going,"
"When a woman says she is fine, she always means the opposite,"
She too is getting frustrated with the malice so she turned to him.
"Why didn't you anything about my dress, you could have at least said 'You look beautiful or praise the dress' but you just kept your back turned at me," she rapped her thoughts out immediately, fuming.
He stared at her for a while before he burst into laughter, he couldn't believe that was the reason for her anger.
He suddenly kissed her forehead then smiled.
"I did that because you were so beautiful compared to how I imagined you in a wedding dress and I was even moved to tears by your ethereal beauty,"
"Liar-"
He kissed her lips.
She doesn't know what he plans to achieve by doing that but if melting her was what he wanted then he has succeeded.
Her cheeks became flushed quickly so she looked out the window and giggled while he started the car again, she started talking about how she wants the wedding to go on the way and he agreed with everything she said.
Both him and Ji Chen were against them wearing the wedding dress but they even forced the two to wear the same tuxedo, he really can't understand what is going through their mind.
Then it struck his mind, what if she refuses to have a baby until Jia Yu decided to have one?
He definitely wouldn't let that happen so he had better speak to that cousin of his quickly, he thought to himself.
They soon got to her apartment in no time, she just opened the door when she noticed big boxes in the living room, she entered carefully in case they have been burgled.
"Did you order something?" she asked as she examined the boxes then turned to him, the expression on his face assured her that the boxes belong to him. He sat her down then opened the boxes using his key.
She was surprised to see what is inside the box.
"Why did you bring these, is someone having a baby?"
Inside the box are baby clothing, crib, toys and many other necessities.
"These are for our future baby," he answered with sheer excitement on his face but he noticed she didn't seem pleased, he wondered if he has done something he shouldn't have done again.
Looking at him now, she realised she shouldn't have used kids to motivate him into marriage, not that she doesn't want to have kids but she wants to become stable first so she can have time to spend with her child when she has one but he current condition won't allow her that as she can only take some time off for her wedding and honeymoon, even if she gets maternity leave it won't be enough for her.
He sat beside her and held her hand.
"What is it?"
She sighed and turned to him.
"Do you really want to have a baby as soon as we get married, why don't we shift a year back not two or three?" she seemed really worried.
He didn't know she wasn't ready yet but since she was the one who brought it up first, he thought that is what she wanted so he took it upon himself to be prepared beforehand.
He still wasn't saying anything.
"It's not that I don't want a baby after marriage but I am not sure I will be a good mom if I don't have enough time to spend with my child because of my job," she explained.

Displaced
Sucked into the void without warning, a handful of people from around the globe suddenly find themselves in the foreign world of Scyria, a place filled with people who can jump three times their height, conjure fire from thin air, and perform any number of other inhuman feats. Scattered across the realm and armed with newfound powers far greater than those of the native Scyrians, they each struggle to find their path in this unfamiliar reality. Their unforeseen arrival sends tremors throughout the world, toppling a centuries-long age of relative peace, prosperity, and progress as they each leave their mark on the world in their own ways. But Scyria has its own share of intrigue, even without these unwelcome guests. A major metropolis is wiped from existence out of nowhere, triggering a manhunt across the continent for those deemed responsible. Two feuding nations decide to bring their hostilities to a new level. Blades clash, nations fall, and plots years in the making begin to reveal themselves. This is the story of some unwilling trespassers, taken from their lives against their will and thrown into situations they barely understand. This is the story of some unfortunate Scyrians, their lives blown apart by the newcomers’ sudden and destabilizing existence. This is the story of Scyria, a world with a lost past buried beneath millenia. But as both the Earthlings and Scyrians are about to find out, sometimes the past doesn’t stay buried forever... I marked the story as having Gore, Sexual Content, and Traumatising content because it does contain a bit of all three, though not what I believe is a significant amount. Just wanted to be safe. It does contain a whole lot of profanity, though. That one is very much deserved. I post one chapter ahead on Patreon here, you can get it for a dollar: https://www.patreon.com/IrateRapScallion My Discord server for discussing the story and whatever else: https://discord.gg/uycZBbv Please vote for my story on Top Web Fiction by clicking here: http://topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=displaced Thanks!
