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.

A Fool's Journey, or the Vagrancies of a Man in Exotic Lands
What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world? Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, work, play some videogames or read something, work, maybe sleep?, work... Pretty much the usual, rinse and repeat. It was far from perfect, but life was nicely boring and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to bring an end to everything. As far as he could tell, though, the former was about as likely as the latter; not very. And perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it. Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans? Sure, he's yet to find out exactly what those plans might be, but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon. Needless to say, the job doesn't come with dental care, and death seems more likely than retirement... Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension. Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind. Whatever. One thing’s patently clear, though, he’s certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned hero, nor the Savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving... Just what kind of fool does the System take him for? Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning. Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats. Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.
