Chapter 26

Any normal man wouldn’t allow his wife to spend time alone with another outstanding man, especially when this outstanding man was her childhood sweetheart. He knew about men. A male friend would become a lover eventually if the man intended to do that.

Therefore, on hearing Chen Kexin was going to learn from Lan Xiao, Wang Weixi who lay in bed after having a great time with Chen Kexin, looked displeased instantly.

Chen Kexin didn’t notice that and kept talking something with her head on Wang Weixi’s arm. In a word, she was going to learn from Lan Xiao, because he could teach her so many things that she wouldn’t lose her face in the party.

Turning around with furrowed brows, Wang Weixi looked at Chen Kexin with complicated feelings. He had thought she was just sluggish in action, certainly except in sex. However, now he found that his wife was really a little girl who was clueless about men.

“Honey.” Wang Weixi eventually failed to stand Chen Kexin’s ceaseless talk. He interrupted to stop her.

Chen Kexin asked with her pretty big eyes open wide, “Honey, what’s the matter?” Meanwhile, she leaned against his chest.

With his arms around her, Wang Weixi was about to speak but hesitated several times. Chen Kexin couldn’t help saying with a giggle, “Honey, what do you want to say actually?”

Wang Weixi shook his head helplessly. “If I say I don’t want her to spend time alone with other man, she may think I’m so narrow-minded. After all, she has her own friends. I used to say I will leave her some privacy. What’s more, she does that for me,” he thought and suddenly felt guilty.

Thinking of this, Wang Weixi said after a hesitation, “Honey, I know you do that for me, but I don’t want you to push yourself too hard.” Forgot it. He would rather die than say he was jealous.

Chen Kexin was moved. She said in a low voice with her arms around Wang Weixi’s waist, “It doesn’t matter. I want to do something for you.”

Touching her soft hair, Wang Weixi said gently, “Honey, maybe I can teach you.”

Chen Kexin froze for a second and then said, “But you need to go to work tomorrow. You have no time to teach me, right?”

“We can do that at night. Think about it. As your friend, Lan Xiao certainly won’t charge you, right? However, he can make money by teaching others, right?”

Chen Kexin thought with her head tilted and said, “It seems to be true…”

“So don’t you feel bad about making him earn less money?” Wang Weixi continued patiently.

Chen Kexin kept thinking and then said slowly, “But Xiaoxiao isn’t short of money. He’s from a wealthy family.”

Wang Weixi got a shock. He forgot that this guy drove a Ferrari. “He probably just opens the class for fun. How is it possible for him to teach by himself?”

Upset!

Wang Weixi was gloomy.

“Honey, why do you stop talking?” Raising her head, Chen Kexin curiously stared at Wang Weixi, who looked frustrated at the moment, and asked.

Wang Weixi said with an awkward smile, “But if he just wants to get financial support from his family, how is it possible for him to run a small little-known company?” He was so quick-witted.

However, it was a thought-provoking problem for Chen Kexin, because she had always been living off her parents. Oh… she was so upset. “Honey, you are right… I’m not going to bother him.” Well, she believed in everything he said.

Wang Weixi felt delighted secretly, but he still pretended to be calm. “I’ll teach you to cook after I returning from work. It’s easy to learn cooking ten dishes in a week. If you pay enough attention to learn, you can definitely do it, right?” Even he wasn’t confident of his own words. He was wondering whether he was consoling himself or consoling Chen Kexin.

However, Chen Kexin said with a confident face, “Yeah, of course. I’m so smart. You don’t need to worry about that.”

Wang Weixi nodded with a smile and asked, “Honey, aren’t you sleepy?” She remained so spirited after they had sex. She was full of energy!

Suddenly Chen Kexin burst into laughter. She then turned over with her boobs pressed on Wang Weixi’s chest. The fire which had died out in Wang Weixi’s heart suddenly burned vigorously in a moment. He touched her nose lightly and said, “Honey, stop horsing around.” He didn’t mind doing that again, but he would feel sorry if his delicate wife was worn out.

However, Chen Kexin just horsed around for a while, and then said coyly with her arms around Wang Weixi’s neck and incessant hot breath, “No. You are going to work tomorrow with no time to do it in the morning, so I want to do it now…” As she said that, she blushed.

Wang Weixi chuckled. His wife was such a kid. He immediately turned over to take the dominant position. Looking at Chen Kexin’s blurred eyes, Wang Weixi lowered his head, held her tightly and kissed her neck gently.

…

How could someone in love understand the bitterness of someone else who suffered from lovesickness? Carrying a torch made people sleepless as well as absent-minded.

After Lan Xiao left Heze Bay, the smile as perfect as it was engraved eventually disappeared from his face. He looked so lonely at the moment.

Driving all the way north to Green Forest Mountain, he kept turning up the music and opened all the windows to expose himself to the whistling cold wind. He still looked like a prince, driving in silence and sorrow.

He would neither floor the accelerator like a gilded youth nor yell crazily to vent his emotions like Chen Keren. He was as silent as the princess mermaid in the legend, remaining noble and simple at any time. Therefore, despite of being in a bad mood, he just played the music at full volume.

The wind was piercing at midnight, especially on a mountain with few people around.

He stopped halfway up the peak quietly. Turning off the music, he sat in the car in silence, ignoring the tears in his eyes.

As he closed his eyes slowly, Wang Weixi came into his mind. He wasn’t reconciled to being defeated by such a man. The man looked so common, neither as handsome as him nor as gentle as him. He even failed to feel that the man loved Kexin more than he did. However, why his beloved woman would fall in love with such a man?

He shook his head and whispered, “It’s not fair… Kexin, why do you just get married to such a man? Why?” His tears fell from his eyes.

However, it was her choice. She wore a happy smile on her face, and he knew he couldn’t make her smile like that. Through her words, he could feel that she loved and relied on the man so much.

In this moment, his cell phone rang.

At first Lan Xiao wanted to hang up the phone, but he frowned unnaturally when seeing Chen Keren’s name suddenly. He picked up the phone after a hesitation.

In the west of A City, there was a famous scenic area named Wave-treading Bay.

At this moment, the bay had been closed. By the vast sea, there were only traces left by waves. In the light grey moonlight, the boundless beach looked more spacious and otherworldly.

On the spectating platform not far away from the shore, there sat a pretty woman.

The woman was in a black dress. Her red hair was so bright that several bodyguards in the distance didn’t dare to look at her. Her gorgeous face remained cool, lonely and as otherworldly as the moonlight.

On the silvery round table, there was a packet of cigarettes for women which was just opened as well as a full glass of champagne. The woman held half of a cigarette between her slender fingers. Turning her head slightly to the sea, she stared at the waves rising and falling with her blurred eyes. No one knew what she was thinking about.

The woman was Chen Keren who had just called Lan Xiao.

In the distance, a man in a white suit came slowly. There was a red sports car parked nearby. Any one who knew a little about cars could recognize that it was a rare Porsche 911GT2.

The man was Lan Xiao. At this moment, Lan Xiao remained as domineering as a prince, which made others not dare to look straight at him. Although he still looked calm, there were roaring waves in his heart. Over the phone, Chen Keren had told him something that made him fail to calm down.

Soon Lan Xiao came up to Chen Keren. Chen Keren pointed at the opposite seat and said coolly, “Sit.”

After sitting down, Lan Xiao stared at the unfinished cigarette in Chen Keren’s hand and said with knitted eyebrows, “Keren, why do you smoke now?”

Chen Keren looked up and stared at Lan Xiao with her eye which were charming but cold. She could be a charming woman, but she always looked apathetic, as if she was the goddess Chang’e who lived in the Moon Palace. Apathy was her inherent arrogance.

“It’s none of your business, right?” Chen Keren said in a seemingly playful tone. At this moment, she suddenly confused him.

Lan Xiao sighed helplessly and said sincerely, “Keren, I can be considered your elder brother. I don’t hope to see you become like this.”

Chen Keren smiled sarcastically without saying anything.

“I still remember the way you used to be. You were so lively, smiley and lovely. You were always with Kexin, having fun and then bursting into laughter.” Recalling the past, Lan Xiao said in a more gentle tone.

Chen Keren snuffed out her cigarette. At this moment, a waiter served a glass of champagne and left hastily after Lan Xiao nodded. Lan Xiao stared at Chen Keren, with a little pity in his eyes.

“How long ago?” Picking up the champagne, Chen Keren took a sip of it. She seemed to be talking to herself and also asking Lan Xiao.

Lan Xiao frowned slightly and thought, “How long ago?”

Gazing at Lan Xiao who looked so sad, Chen Keren suddenly said with a giggle, “You don’t need to show such a sad face. Can’t you remember? It has been nine years.”

Lan Xiao didn’t say anything.

He left nine years ago, and Ni Ya, Chen Keren’s mother, passed away in the same year.

“Something can just stay in memory. Even I’ve forgotten it. Lan Xiao, you don’t need to remember it,” Chen Keren said with a smile. Her cold tone didn’t show any sorrow.

Lan Xiao wanted to say something, but he didn’t.

Chen Keren drew out a cigarette and lighted it up. She then looked up at Lan Xiao who seemed worried and said, “Now let’s talk business.”

Lan Xiao’s heart missed a beat. He nodded after a hesitation.
