Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Song Yu Han felt a jolt inside his heart. He had to gently push her away from his arm so he could look at her. He wanted to know if she was messing around with him.

Song Yu Han knew that Ran Xueyi wouldn't just make a joke like this, of course. However, he wanted her to repeat it while facing him and staring into his eyes.

"Say that again," Song Yu Han almost breathlessly said to her.

Ran Xueyi gazed deeply into his eyes and nodded, "I'm pregnant."

Suddenly, she was pulled back into his tight embrace. Song Yu Han had hugged earlier, but not this tight and there was another type of emotion attached to his embrace. Extreme happiness and sadness.

But why?

Ran Xueyi, for a second there, didn't understand why he had two conflicting emotions. Then, she remembered that Song Yu Han must have remembered his mother. Song Yu Han's life wasn't any better and though he told her little about his life when he was younger, she could tell that he didn't live a happy life.

Then, Ran Xueyi felt anxious and nervous in the next second. Now that she had told him about her being pregnant, he would naturally know that she hid the truth from him and he was smart enough to guess that she must be planning to hide it from him if he hadn't come home and asked her face to face.

Ran Xueyi had the habit of biting her lower lips whenever she felt extreme nervousness. And she was still doing it right now as the faint lines of tears that were shed from earlier were slowly drying up on her cheeks.

As she waited for him to speak and ask her why she kept the fact that she was pregnant from him, Ran Xueyi felt him kiss the top of her head again.

Ran Xueyi pulled away from him and asked quietly, "Aren't you angry at me? I hid the truth of my pregnancy from you."

Song Yu Han lifted his brow and Ran Xueyi continued timidly, "I... I hid the truth not because I don't want you to know... I planned to tell you, but not until I can secure my own safety. I was wrong to do that, I know..."

A finger tapped gently on her lips to prevent Ran Xueyi from continuing.

Song Yu Han gave her a breathtaking smile. The anger and disappointment she expected to see on his face wasn't there. Not even a shadow of it could be seen. That overly gorgeous smile made her lose her control over her mind and fell into a daze. Ran Xueyi felt slightly ashamed.

Damn him for smiling at the wrong moment.

"I am angry." His tone was slightly deeper and darker as he gazed deeply into her. With the lights from the moon in the sky softly spilling into the living room from the window behind her back, Ran Xueyi could now clearly see his face. "You kept such wonderful news from me. But that anger cannot overwhelm just how happy and blessed I am."

His hand traveled across the space to grab her own before pulling it towards his chest. The soft and firm beating of his heart could be felt from the layer of fabric that separated her hand from his skin. However, at this moment, Ran Xueyi believed that even with several layers of fabric between them, she could still feel the warmth of his body and the beating of his heart.

Song Yu Han hadn't been around her during this past month. He was several countries away from her and he didn't fault her for hesitating and hiding the truth from him. What he was angry about was that during this happy moment, someone had tried to harm Ran Xueyi.

The purpose of his slight delay in his return was not only due to the ambush that happened on the first week he arrived in Davios, a country from the West. He reluctantly had to keep distance from Ran Xueyi to erase the sinister ideas of his enemies and for them to focus on him instead of her. He knew how vicious these people are and knew what they could do to her.

And so, he initially intended to stay in Davios for a bit longer. He probably needs two months to finish his matters there and completely take off the attention of his enemies around Ran Xueyi. But who could have thought that his plans only made him miss such an important thing.

Ran Xueyi found out that she was pregnant. But he wasn't beside her. Song Yu Han was angry at himself the most. How could he leave her and make her go through all of this alone?

And hearing her being involved in an accident earlier this morning made him more remorseful. Just thinking of the worst that could happen to Ran Xueyi, Song Yu Han, himself, didn't know what he would do.

Feeling safe and very comfortable in his arms, Ran Xueyi eventually fell asleep. These past few weeks, she hadn't had a good sleep without feeling anxious and stressed out. Add to that that she had to experience hellish bouts of morning sickness daily which made her feel even more horrible.

The next thing she knew, she was dumped into water. Ran Xueyi washed as her vision was swallowed with darkness. No sound, light, or anything could be sensed by her. Then, as if that total isolation of her senses were just an illusion; a replay of the accident happened before her eyes.

However, this replay did not have the same result as what happened this morning. Ran Xueyi watched on as the black car sped up and followed her. Then, it crashed into her car and didn't stop until the white car was almost unrecognizable.

Ran Xueyi floated around a little bit as she watched her car being pushed against the wall on the other side of the road. Tire tracks made a mess of the asphalt ground, the screams that accompanied the sudden collision of two metallic bodies of the car, screeching sound of tires, and the glass shattering as if an explosion had happened.

Everything happened in slow motion.

Ran Xueyi gasped loudly and her body shook as she continued watching. She wanted to move, rush to the white car, but as if there was something chaining her to that spot, she couldn't even lift a finger.

"Ha...ha..." Ran Xueyi stared widely as she struggled to breath and calm down.

No, this is a dream... This is a dream. She continued to chant inside her mind.

Then, the next scene was soon changed.

It was a closeup of the white car that was crumpled into a helpless and sorry sight of a metal. And inside the car was her bleeding self. Those glassy, dull eyes were wide and staring into the distance. The terror and unwillingness to die filled her eyes.

And if you look closely, the 'Ran Xueyi' inside the dream was clutching something in her stomach. Ran Xueyi hesitated and slowly lowered her eyes.

Ran Xueyi finally understood the reason behind 'Ran Xueyi' in the dream's terror and unwillingness. A big glass fragment had found itself embedded in her stomach as blood flowed downwards.

Ran Xueyi felt the chill in her fingertip slowly climbing up to her heart. The horrible sight of what could have happened to her if she hadn't survived that accident was shown to her as if telling her that she couldn't do anything to protect herself and her child. Anyone and anything could take her life and her child's life away from her. Anytime they wanted.

"No!"

...

"No!!"

"Xueyi, wake up!"

Ran Xueyi abruptly opened her eyes. She woke up, screaming with tears streaming down her face.

A pair of hands held her cheeks and the thumbs wiped her tears. Soon, Ran Xueyi's clouded eyes cleared up and saw Song Yu Han's face in front of her.

His eyes were wide in concern. "It's okay... you're here... you're safe."

He reassuringly told her repeatedly until her unstable breathing slowly calmed down. Song Yu Han didn't know what she dreamt of but he knew it wasn't anything good because she screamed and cried while tossing around. Besides, the fear and shaking of her body was still there.

Song Yu Han wanted to grab her a cup of water so she could calm down, but she didn't let him go. And so, he could only carry her downstairs to the kitchen.

He stood in the kitchen with her arms locked around his neck and legs clasped around his waist. At this moment, it looked like a koala had found a reliable tree to hug.

Since she didn't want to let him go even for a second, Song Yu Han sat on the counter and helped her drink the water.

Probably because she was still feeling unstable after what she saw in her dreams, the water kept on spilling from her lips to her chin before dropping downwards, soaking her shirt.

Suddenly, Song Yu Han moved the cup of water away from her lips and replaced it with his own lips.

He pried open her lips, deepening the kiss. His hot tongue moved forward to entangle itself around hers. Ran Xueyi wanted to pull away, but a hand was put on the back of her head and blocked her escape. The hand kept her in place and the pair of lips continued on its onslaught as if intending to swallow her fears.

Ran Xueyi stared in shock at him. His kisses were needy, forceful, and demanding.

Minutes passed but Song Yu Han did not stop. He held her in his arms and continued kissing her until she completely forgot what her dream was all about and was lost in a daze because of his burning kisses.
