Chapter 58

On their way home, Wang Weixi just kept driving with a grim face and completely ignored Chen Kexin.

Chen Kexin wanted to explain to him, but every time she saw the anger within his eyes, she was stuck for words.

She felt helpless and sent a text message to Chen Keren.

When they reached home, Wang Weixi entered their apartment first and slammed the door in Chen Kexin’s face. Chen Kexin stood there alone for a while, tears coursing down her cheeks unchecked.

She opened the door with trembling hands, entered the living room and then just stood there uneasily while watching Wang Weixi smoke heavily.

Wang Weixi looked down to avoid eye contact with her, while repeatedly thinking about what he had seen back in the kitchen.

He had clearly seen Chen Kexin smile sweetly at Lan Xiao.

He had clearly felt that there was a thing between them.

He had vaguely smelled the aroma of a delicious dish and heard Chen Kexin talking to Lan Xiao before he went upstairs.

“Did they behave even more intimately before I entered the kitchen?

“If I hadn’t disturbed them, would they have done something more than a hug?”

The more he wondered, the more he felt suffocated.

He suddenly got choked and started coughing fiercely.

Chen Kexin swiftly approached him and asked worriedly, “Honey, are you alright?” She reached out her hand, planning to help him by slapping his back, but Wang Weixi refused it by beating her hand off.

Chen Kexin was stunned, her eyes welled with tears again.

Wang Weixi looked up at the crying Chen Kexin and pitied her sincerely. Nevertheless, when he thought that she had just been embraced tightly by another man, he felt hurt and clenched his fist, his body trembling with anger.

“Are you girls in the city just casual about this kind of staff? Do you think that it’s nothing to cuddle and embrace some random guy?” Wang Weixi tried his best to suppress his anger and asked nonchalantly.

Chen Kexin looked at him, bit her lip and said, “That’s not what I meant…” She felt hurt as she had never expected that Wang Weixi would have considered her to be “casual”.

“Then why did you say that? And why did you do that?!” Wang Weixi looked at Chen Kexin and angrily shouted to her.

Chen Kexin sadly looked back at him. She opened her mouth and then quickly shut it, unspeaking. At this moment, she was too sad to say anything.

Her silence somehow irritated Wang Weixi even more. He threw his cigarette butt away and shouted furiously, “Speak! Why do you keep silent? You dare not to tell me the truth? Or you just can’t find a reasonable explanation, not even an excuse?”

Chen Kexin looked at his angry face and finally flared up. “Xiaoxiao and I have been good friends since childhood. I hugged him. What’s wrong about it? He’s a gentleman and always nice to me. We hugged. I don’t think I’ve done something terrible to you.”

This was the first time that Chen Kexin had yelled at him. Wang Weixi was surprised and dejected.

“Yeah, I should’ve known it a long time ago. Lan Xiao is such a gentleman and he’s much better than me. If he had returned earlier, you would’ve never laid your eyes on me. Am I right?”

Chen Kexin was choked with sobs and could not speak. She covered her mouth with a hand, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Wang Weixi still felt angry.

He did not want to look up at Chen Kexin anymore, as it would make him feel sad to watch her crying. However, he just could not hold his temper in check and stop himself from saying those words to hurt her.

“Are you saying that whenever you meet a good man, you can directly go to cuddle him and flirt with him?!”

Chen Kexin looked at Wang Weixi incredulously. She found it hard to believe that he had said something like that to her. She shook her head and wanted to explain, but in the end, she just sobbed and said, “Am I… such a slutty woman in your eyes?”

She really wanted to hear him say no, but Wang Weixi just remained silent.

She nodded and tried her best to suppress her sad feeling. She sneered and said, “Good, it’s good, Wang Weixi. I did hug Xiaoxiao and I thought it was natural for you to get angry when you saw that. However, I never expected you to think me to be slutty.”

Wang Weixi remained quiet but his hand shook slightly. He had never seen Chen Kexin flare up before. He thought that he probably had crossed the line and hurt her self-esteem. However, he refused to back down or apologize to her just to protect his ridiculous self-pride.

Chen Kexin had never felt so disappointed before.

“Yeah, a woman who has slept with a man in a hotel on their first date must be a slut,” Chen Kexin said affirmatively, letting tears roll down her cheeks.

Upon hearing that, Wang Weixi abruptly lifted up his head and looked at her in disbelief. Her eyes turned unprecedentedly cold.

Upon noticing that Wang Weixi seemed to have begun to realize how ridiculous he had been, Chen Kexin continued, “Yes, girls in the cities are slutty, especially me. I’m casual about sex! I’m a slut! Wang Weixi, you must have been blind to marry such a slut like me!”

Wang Weixi stood up and was somewhat scared by Chen Kexin now. He reached out his hands, trying to hug her, but Chen Kexin took a few steps backward to avoid his hands.

“What? Why do you want to hug such a slut like me? Don’t you hate me? Don’t you believe that I’m a disgusting slut? You get out of here… I don’t want to see you anymore…” With these words, she turned around, ran into her bedroom and quickly locked the door.

Wang Weixi stood there agape for a moment and then he rushed to the door of the bedroom. He tried to open it but failed.

He finally came to realize that he had really broken Chen Kexin’s heart.

“Kexin, open the door. Kexin…” Wang Weixi knocked on the door worriedly.

Meanwhile, Chen Kexin was crying heavily while sitting on the cold floor of the bedroom. Every time she thought of Wang Weixi’s words, she felt her pain increased.

She had believed that Wang Weixi would have trusted her no matter what and never expected that he would have accused her of cheating on him before giving her a chance to explain.

“Wang Weixi, I hate you… … I hate you!” Chen Kexin said while sobbing.

Wang Weixi knocked on the door more rapidly and said, “I’m sorry, Kexin. I shouldn’t have snapped at you like that. I’m really sorry…”

He felt ashamed to ask her to forgive him.

Chen Kexin smirked helplessly while thinking, “It seems that you just think that you have an attitude problem. Have you ever realized how much I was hurt by your words?

“Wang Weixi, you’re such a jerk…”

Wang Weixi stood at the door for a while. When he realized that Chen Kexin would not open the door for him, he turned around dejectedly and slumped on the sofa. He thought back on all the things that had happened and began to feel regret.

He sat on the sofa until 13:00 pm. Chen Kexin was still sobbing, which made him feel even guiltier.

He had finished smoking a pack of cigarettes before he noticed that.

He stood up, came to the door of the bedroom again and said softly, “Honey, I have to go to work. Can we have a talk when I come back this evening?”

Chen Kexin squatted on the floor and continued sobbing without saying a word.

Wang Weixi could only turn around and leave the apartment helplessly.

Right after his departure, when Chen Kexin slowly stood up and opened the door, she felt choked by the sharp smell of cigarettes. She walked out of the bedroom with her eyebrows knitted and then found out that the ashtray on the tea table was filled with cigarette butts.

“This dumb*ss… How can he hurt his own body like this?” Chen Kexin thought and went to sit on the sofa, which was still warm.

She looked at the cigarette butts, tears rolling down her cheeks again.

She had not yet told anyone that she had discovered Lan Xiao’s love for her. She thought, “I was just so excited today that those words slipped out of my mouth. They deeply moved Lan Xiao, who loved me for years. That’s why he hugged me all of a sudden.

“He’s secretly in love with me for years and always treats me tenderly, but he has never given me any pressure. He just sincerely hopes that I can be happy. We’re just friends.

“But Wang Weixi, how can you question our relationship like that? Even if that’s because you care very much about me, you don’t have to snap at me like that. What kind of person am I in your eyes?

“How can you call me a slut…

“You really hurt me, Wang Weixi…”

At this moment, Wang Weixi was sitting in his car blankly with his hands on the steering wheel. He felt too feeble to drive his car now. After thinking for a long time, he decided to give Yi Duanfang a call. He knew that his impetuous action had hurt Kexin and believed that Yi Duanfang knew how to make her happy again.
