Chapter 13

Watching Wang Weixi tidying up alone, it was the first time that Chen Kexin had felt that she was so clumsy. She felt too upset to coquet.

Yi Duanfang folded his arms, staring at Wang Weixi, who was busy at the moment, with a sneer. He lamented that his best friend married such a useless woman. He didn’t like Chen Kexin that much. It was not easy for him to develop a slightly better relationship with her. He just accomplished it in the morning, but it had been ruined by Chen Kexin at this moment.

“Ding.” The doorbell rang harshly at this moment.

Chen Kexin hurried to open the door.

Yi Duanfang said, “You are so pathetic. Aren’t you an extremely rueful husband?”

Wang Weixi said without raising his head, “Stop talking nonsense.”

Yi Duanfang curled his lip without saying anything.

“Keren, you’re here.” Chen Kexin said, sort of spiritless.

On hearing the sound in the kitchen, Yi Duanfang stood there in astonishment. He turned around slowly and saw Chen Kexin and Chen Keren come in.

Looking up, Chen Keren stared at Yi Duanfang, who looked astonished. She raised her eyebrows and thought, “Why is he also here?” Yi Duanfang cleared his throat, gave her a sharp gaze and then turned around.

Chen Keren looked down and saw Wang Weixi cleaning the pieces. She looked up and saw Chen Kexin looking guilty. She then realized what had happened.

“There are bowls left in your house?” Chen Keren teased.

Wang Weixi had finished all the pieces. Raising his head, he adjusted his glasses with his hand and said with a smile, “Of course. But I actually hope to buy some plastic bowls.” He was telling the truth when saying the last sentence.

Chen Kexin regretfully gazed at Wang Weixi, who was talking. She thought, “When have I been so incapable?”

It was just that no one found that she was incapable, because of her lack of performance instead of her excellent performance in normal times.

At the moment, Chen Kexin stood there with complicated feelings. Wang Weixi mopped the floor and washed his hands. After that, he came back and saw the three still standing in the kitchen in silence. He asked confusedly, “Why are you still standing here? Go to the living room and have a seat.”

Glancing at the silent sisters, Yi Duanfang went to the living room on his own and sat on the sofa.

Chen Keren glanced at Chen Kexin, who looked a bit frustrated, without showing any sympathy. She then turned around, stepped into the living room and sat in the spot where she sat yesterday.

Wang Weixi stepped in, staring at Chen Kexin, who lowered her head and kept quiet. He raised his hand to rub her hair and said gently, “What’s the matter? Do you get upset again?”

Chen Kexin shook her head and kept quiet.

Wang Weixi raised her chin and said with a smile, “Show me your smile.”

Chen Kexin looked up, staring at Wang Weixi who looked cheerful, and her eyes turned red. She said, “I’m so incapable, right?”

Yi Duanfang was listening attentively. He couldn’t help thinking, “She finally realizes that!”

Chen Keren frowned slightly. Although she pretended to read her magazine at ease, there were only two reasons for her, who even didn’t go home, to suddenly visit her sister almost every day. One was that she wanted to seduce her brother-in-law, and the other was that she wanted to get her sister and brother-in-law split up. Certainly, there was the third improbable reason which was that her sister and brother-in-law made her feel at home. Of course, it was completely impossible that the third reason would work on Chen Kexin, and it was the same for the first reason. So the true reason was evident.

“Certainly not. Honey, it’s the first time that you’ve washed the dishes. Besides, you didn’t do that on purpose. I won’t blame you. On the contrary, I’m so moved that you try to do that for me.” Wang Weixi said gently for fear that he might say something wrong and made Chen Kexin upset again.

Chen Kexin looked down with sorrow in her eyes. She said, “I’ve tried really hard… But I always fail to do it well…” Compared with the past, she was hard-working enough indeed. However, compared with anyone else, she didn’t work hard at all.

Wang Weixi kept nodding and said, “I know. I Know. I’m sorry to make you do these. I’m to blame…” Wang Weixi guiltily pulled her into his arms. He even felt the urge to hire a housekeeper, but he was unable to afford it with his meager salary.

Leaning against Wang Weixi’s chest, Chen Kexin felt so warm. Although she had gotten used to the warmth, she was still attached to it. “Honey, I will work harder from now on, okay?” Chen Kexin said seriously.

Wang Weixi nodded and said, “Hmm, thank you for everything you do for me.”

They had an affectionate conversation in the kitchen without noticing that the two in the living room were totally disgusted by their conversation.

Chen Kexin and Wang Weixi who had been “reconciled” came to the living room hand in hand. Yi Duanfang, who had thought there would be a serious argument, suddenly lost interest in staying. He got up and said listlessly, “I got to go.”

Wang Weixi said with some surprise, “You don’t want to stay longer?” He subconsciously glanced at Chen Keren, who sat there reading a magazine. “If Yi Duanfang was not so sissy, he might deserve such a cool beauty. What a pity…” Wang Weixi sighed, “I don’t know when my best friend can find his ‘beloved’.”

Yi Duanfang waved his hands and left with vigorous strides.

Chen Keren frowned slightly and seemingly thought of something. After Yi Duanfang closed the door, she also got up and said coolly, “I’m leaving, too.”

“Keren, you just arrived. Don’t you stay longer?” Chen Kexin said in surprise. During these days, she had seen Chen Keren more often than she did during the first half of the year.

Chen Keren looked up and glanced at Wang Weixi. She then stroked her hair and said, “I don’t want to bother you, and I came here just because I had nothing else to do. What’s more, seeing my incapable sister and weak brother-in-law, I’m in no mood to stay longer.”

Wang Weixi’s face darkened gradually. He thought, “My sister-in-law usually doesn’t talk much. However, once she begins to talk, she would definitely say something astounding. Apparently, it is an affectionate scene, but she considers that it shows her sister’s incapability and my weakness. Or I should beat her sister, and then she would probably clap and praise me with her thumb up, ‘You are a true man.’?”

Thinking of this, Wang Weixi shook his head and thought, “It’s impossible. She may knock me down if I do that.”

After thinking for a while with her head aslant, Chen Kexin said, “Fine… Go now.” It seemed that she didn’t want to argue with her sister at all.

Wang Weixi was upset. A few days earlier, he heard his wife criticize his sister-in-law. However, now his wife even didn’t want to argue.

Chen Keren nodded and left. Her figure was always so lonely but showed a sort of unspeakable arrogance.

After leaving the house, Chen Keren walked faster. She got out of the elevator and swiftly walked to the street instead of going to the underground parking garage. Looking around, she saw Yi Duanfang in the nearby crowd.

After thinking for a while, Chen Keren extracted his name from her memory. She then shouted reluctantly, “Mr. Yi Duanfang!”

At the moment, Yi Duanfang was feeling depressed because what he saw in Wang Weixi’s house. Suddenly he heard himself called. He turned around and saw Chen Keren walking towards him.

“It’s she?” Yi Duanfang thought. He looked around to make sure she was walking towards him and then turned around hastily. Having been beaten by her last time, he would rather die than talk with this vexatious woman.

As he took the first step, he heard a command, “Stop!”

“Why should I listen to you?” Yi Duanfang thought scornfully. However, his feet just stopped there.

“Mr. Yi Duanfang, why did you hide from me?” Chen Keren went before him. Staring at him who looked bewildered, she said with a smile.

Yi Duanfang glared at Chen Keren in front of him, and said in a stubborn tone, “I didn’t hide from you! There are plenty of roads around the world. You walk on your road, and I walk on mine. It makes no sense that I should hide from you! It’s your narcissistic thought! Bye!” Finishing his words, he passed by Chen Keren, about to leave.

Unexpectedly Chen Keren just grabbed his clothes from behind casually. He then couldn’t move anymore.

As Chen Keren loosened her hand, Yi Duanfang lost his balance and almost fell to the ground. Chen Keren turned around to stare at Yi Duanfang, who was in embarrassment. She said coldly, “I don’t want to be violent. Let’s have a talk.”

Yi Duanfang stood firm and turned around to stare at Chen Keren who remained arrogant in the moment. He cursed her ten thousand times, but could just say obediently, “Okay, what do you want to talk about? Go ahead.”

“Wait here. I’ll get my car.” Chen Keren didn’t answer directly. Watching her leaving, Yi Duanfang felt frustrated. Suddenly he was entangled. Should he wait for her or just leave?

Nevertheless, besides his fear for Chen Keren’s violence, he was rather curious about what this woman was going to talk with him. After all, except for the trivial scores, there seemed to be nothing worth talking about between them.

“Is she going to send me to the police office?” Suddenly such an idea came into Yi Duanfang’s mind. “After all, rich people are very ruthless. Chen Keren hates me so much. Perhaps she can send me to the prison by putting the blame upon me for losing Chinese people’s face or something like that.” Thinking of this, his back was wet with cold sweat.

“I’ve never done anything illegal! Except for dressing, talking and behaving like a sissy, I’ve never done anything terrible!” Yi Duanfang suddenly fell into a panic.

At this moment, Chen Keren had driven over beside him. Staring at Yi Duanfang, who looked in panic, Chen Keren asked confusedly, “What’s the matter?”

Yi Duanfang slowly recovered from his imagination. Gazing at Chen Keren, he asked in a puzzle, “Where… are you taking me to?”

Chen Keren always disliked being asked for details by others. They should do what she commanded them without demur. However, this guy Yi Duanfang took against her every time, which made him severely distasteful. “Go where I want to go. Just get into my car.”

Yi Duanfang frowned slightly and thought, “She refused to say anything even when I asked her. She must intend to hurt me. What should I do?”

Watching him keep standing there, Chen Keren finally got a bit impatient and said, “Are you going to get into my car or not?!”

Yi Duanfang shook his head and said with his face full of fear, “No!”

Chen Keren frowned slightly and said, “Get into the car!”

“No. What do you want to talk about with me? We can just talk here!” Yi Duanfang directly hung on there and refused to move.

With more and more gazes fixed on them, Chen Keren found it sort of hilarious. She stared at Yi Duanfang and suddenly asked curiously, “You are being scared?” Yeah, his face made Chen Keren believe that he was being scared.

Yi Duanfang, who was touched on the raw, said with depression on his face, “Of… Of course not! Why should I be scared of you?! So funny, humph! “I won’t get into your car. What can you do about it?”

Chen Keren nodded and teased, “Are you sure?”

Watching Chen Keren’s charming face, Yi Duanfang swallowed a mouthful of saliva. They said something terrible was about to happen when you saw a beauty smile. Yi Duanfang knew that if he didn’t get into the car, he would just be pushed into the car by Chen Keren violently with everybody watching.

Now that he couldn’t change the result anyway, he might as well do it himself. Thus, Yi Duanfang finally compromised.

After getting into the car, he even didn’t dare to look at Chen Keren for fear that she would kill him instantly.

If a woman didn’t mean to kill a man, he could remain superior with his head raised. If a woman meant to kill a man, she could kill him with a bag of rat poison, no matter how cocky he was. Moreover, Chen Keren wasn’t a general woman. She could make a man lose everything he owned as easy as blowing off dust. Meanwhile, Yi Duanfang wasn’t a general man. Except for twittering and screaming like a woman, he didn’t behave like a man at all.

“You don’t need to be scared. I just want to talk about my sister and your friend with you,” Chen Keren said. She didn’t like talking nonsense with others, either beating around the bush.

Yi Duanfang turned around in astonishment, gazing at Chen Keren who looked rather serious. He said with knitted brows, “What?” “My sister and your friend? Sounds like they don’t have anything in common and they are not a couple.” Yi Duanfang was a little confused. “She didn’t approve of their marriage like me?”

Chen Keren glared at him. She didn’t like repeating the same sentence.

So Yi Duanfang didn’t say anything further. At least, he wouldn’t be sent to the prison.
