He had already been able to go home as early as possible, but because of the sudden and delayed things, the time which Wang Weixi went home was already ten o’clock. It was not too late, but because of the thunder and lightning storm tonight, Wang Weixi felt guiltier.
Opening the door, there was no light in the living room, the kitchen or the bedroom at all. Although he usually came back late, he had never seen this situation.
Wang Weixi turned on the light, then carefully walked to the bedroom, opened the door, and saw Chen Kexin, who was covered with a quilt, and he felt relieved. Leaving this bedroom, he went to another room, took off his clothes which reeked of beer and went into the bathroom.
Hot water wrapped every inch of his skin, Wang Weixi stood there, and suddenly preoccupied. The scene in the car and the scene in the hotel room occurred to his mind. “If I didn’t curb myself at the time, would I make a big mistake now?” Thinking of this, Wang Weixi sighed deeply.
He took the shower in the memory of Tong Siqi and himself.
After taking a shower, Wang Weixi put the suit in the washing machine. He remembered that the light in the living room was still on, so he opened the door lightly, ready to turn off the light, and poured a glass of water by the way.
Just out of the door, a clap of thunder scared Wang Weixi. Standing at the door of the bedroom, he remembered that Chen Kexin said that she was most afraid of thunder. At that time, they had not seen each other, and he still wondered whether the girls in the world were afraid of thunder, and Chen Kexin was like Tong Siqi. Was it fate? At that time, he even thought that Chen Kexin would be Tong Siqi?
Thinking about it now. It was stupid.
Wang Weixi shook his head helplessly and lightly opened the door of the bedroom. A glimmer of light spread to the bed along the door. He clearly saw that the body of the person on the bed suddenly shrank. Despite the subtle movements, Wang Weixi realized that Chen Kexin was sobbing, but when he opened the door, she immediately stopped.
Wang Weix frowned, quickly turned the light on and stepped to the bed. He asked softly, “Dear, what happened to you?”
He went over, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Chen Kexin, but she stubbornly hid her face in the quilt.
Wang Weixi stared at her trembling body, which made him feel guilty. Look what he had done. Having dinner with other women outside, he didn’t know that Chen Kexin at home was likely to worry about him, even crying in the bed because of the fear of thunder.
But as usual, if she was afraid, she would mischievously hide herself in his arms when he came back, complaining why he came back so late. What was going on today? Why did she secretly cry? Why didn’t she say any words?
“Dear, what’s wrong with you?” Wang Weixi held Chen Kexin’s face, but she pushed him away, turning around and closing her eyes, and just pretended to fall asleep.
Wang Weixi’s heart was stinging from her movements. “Are you angry? Dear?” He laid down and embraced Chen Kexin gently from behind.
Chen Kexin did not speak. She only knew what she heard from Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang today that the so-called social intercourse was that he mostly accompanied another woman, who was the first girlfriend he had never forgotten for many years.
She did not blame Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang for concealing her, because she knew that she was so dull that they tried to make her realize, but failed, so finally they told her directly.
Chen Kexin was not a stingy woman, but when she heard these, she couldn’t laugh at all. She once dreamed that she could be more magnanimous. Even if she knew that her man once loved a woman who was memorable, she would not feel sad because it only showed that he was serious about a relationship. Moreover, he chose her, which meant she could completely replace the woman in his heart.
She used to comfort herself in this way.
But in the afternoon, she smiled for a whole afternoon and sent away Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang. Chen Kexin was sitting in the empty house and burst into tears.
Last time, just because Lan Xiao hugged her, he was furious and that was the first time he lost his temper. However, he spent all the time in eating and shopping with the woman he once cared about, and had no time to care about his wife. Every time he sent a perfunctory message to her, no matter how many words she edited and no matter how naughty she showed, he would never reply more than five words.
The more she wanted to keep calm, the more she suspected. Tonight, she thought that he would remember that she had ever told him her fear of thunder, so he would go back home early. Accordingly, Yi Duanfang called Wang Weixi’s secretary and got the information that he already left the office for the top-grade restaurant in the city to have dinner with that woman.
How ironic…
With this in mind, her tears fell down along the corners of the eyes, wetting her hair, falling on the sheets, and dripping on the quilt, which showed the inner sadness.
Wang Weixi was somewhat overwhelmed, and he felt the tremor of Chen Kexin. “She was crying again? What did she hear? Did she misunderstand? Why… Why was I feeling scared?”
Getting up, he gently combed Chen Kexin’s hair. Leaning over, he softly kissed her earlobe. Chen Kexin wanted to push him away, reaching out, but her hands were tightly grabbed by him. She was lying on her side, her breasts exposed by her nightdress.
Wang Weixi whispered softly in her ear, “Dear, can you tell me what happened?”
There was a clap of thunder in the sky, and Chen Keren in his arms couldn’t help but shrink. She slowly opened her eyes, looked at Wang Weixi, who was distressed in his face, and bitter flowed out from the bottom of her heart. She shook her head, said stubbornly, “Nothing, I am going to sleep, you still go back to that room.” Then she turned and closed her eyes.
Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Weixi patiently asked, “Dear, don’t lie to me. Look at your pouting mouth. Does it make you uncomfortable that I don’t accompany you during the period of time? Sorry, I am the general manager and the leader of this case. It’s reasonable that I am busy. Hey, I will be with you after this case finished and I will take time to invite Duanfang and my sister-in-law to have dinner at our home, which is like the gift for their taking care of you, okay?”
Chen Kexin gave a wry smile, “It was not good, not good… Why did you have time to accompany that woman? Why had you never told me that she was the first love you never forget? Why were you staying with her alone, whether it was lunch or dinner, day or night?”
She shook her head and her tears fell, and the rain seemed heavier outside. Raindrops slammed on the window, and the ticking was quite harsh.
Wang Weixi smiled softly, holding her waist in one hand and touching along her shoulders with the other hand. He kissed her earlobe, because he knew that earlobe was one of Chen Kexin’s sensitive points. He was gently licking and biting, and Chen Kexin couldn’t help but tremble. He reached his hand into the quilt, opening the quilt, and easily touched her body from the nightdress. They two became exciting.
Chen Kexin opened her eyes with some anger. She just wanted to say something, but Wang Weixi kissed her small mouth. Wang Weixi put Chen Kexin under his body, and his hand with her waist lightly slipped onto her shoulder, gently touching her face, and kissed her again.
After a while, the nightdress had already been taken off by him as well as his pyjamas. The two naked bodies entwined until they were sweating.
…
It rained all the time, but the thunder was not louder any more. Wang Weixi put his head in Chen Kexin’s neck, and gasped for breath. Chen Kexin under his body had already been out of breath, but the tears were still falling along the corner of her eyes.
Wang Weixi regained some strength and looked at Chen Kexin who was crying, asked with some distress, “I hurt you?”
Chen Kexin shook her head. Wang Weixi was gentle, especially when they had sex. She even thought that only in this spacious bed, when their bodies were entwined, he was the most earnest to her.
“Dear, don’t be silent? Your expression made me feel bad.” Wang Weixi gently kissed her lips and frowned.
Chen Kexin wept once more and she shook her head. “I don’t want to say.”
Turning over, Wang Weixi laid next Chen Kexin, then embraced her tiny body, leaning his chin on her shoulder, and gently asked, “Why don’t you want to say? What is it about? If it is not because of my work, what is it?” Till this, his heart suddenly twitched, because the face of Tong Siqi suddenly occurred in his mind.
“Did Duanfang and sister-in-law say something to Kexin?” Thinking about this, Wang Weixi felt ridiculous, and he did not do anything. Although Tong Siqi was crazy tonight, he still controlled himself.
Chen Kexin turned around. Her eyes were red and swollen at the moment. Looking at the gentle Wang Weixi, she bit her lip and asked, “That Tong Siqi… is your first girlfriend?”
Wang Weix smiled, nodded, and said, “Yes.”
Chen Kexin suddenly hated his gentle smile. “What is your expression? Why do you laugh like this? Why don’t you care?” Chen Kexin angrily shouted, and sat up from the bed.
Wang Weixi was stunned for a while and immediately said, “Dear, I don’t mean that. I think Tong Siqi and I are just a cooperative relationship. There is no relationship between us. Please do not think more, okay?”
Chen Kexin shook her head and said, “I think more? You didn’t even call me twice. If I missed your call, you would not call twice. The message I sent, you are unwilling to reply. Or just send me one or two words. If you can’t think of it, just put it there. You don’t even know how lonely I am at home. Every time I wait for your text message, I am sitting there. How about you? You don’t go back to our bedroom, but go to the other room. You covered me with the quilt before, but now? You just glanced at me in the door…” Speaking this, she felt more aggrieved and cried.
Wang Weixi quickly embraced her from behind, and comforted. “Dear, you think more, I just because the work is busy. I came back too late that I was afraid of bothering you, so I went to that room. I was afraid that the sound I walked would wake you up, so I just had a glimpse. As for text messages, sometimes I was in a meeting, so I replied to your messages late. Isn’t my message always short? That because I have never been a man of many words, and I am not good at expressing…”
Chen Kexin shook her head. “I don’t want to listen… you have dinner and watch a film with that woman. I know it all…”
Wang Weixi chuckled. “Dear, in your eyes, I am the kind of person who is changeable?”
Chen Kexin kept silent. “Was it or not? Nobody knew before the truth appeared.”
“I am really just the partner with her. At most, we were classmates, and the company’s superiors know that we knew each other before, so I have to entertain her. I have to accept her invitation because many people supervise me and I have a lot of responsibility.”
Chen Kexin did not speak, turning her face to Wang Weixi after a while, and she hesitatingly said, “Really… really only the working relationship?”
Wang Weixi nodded and said, “I promise.”
Chen Kexin nodded and said, “I believe you for the time being…”
Wang Weixi finally felt relieved and quickly hugged her to lie down and said, “It is too late, hurry to sleep.”
Chen Kexin nodded.
Wang Weixi got off the bed and turned off the light, while a flash of lightning lit up the bedroom. Chen Kexin screamed out in fear, therefore Wang Weixi rushed to the bed and took Chen Kexin into his arms, gently patted her back and said, “Dear, don’t be afraid, I am here.”
Chen Kexin nodded, keeping her arms around Wang Weixi’s waist, and closed her eyes at ease.
Wang Weixi’s heart could not be calm for a long time. He really hoped that this cooperation would be settled quickly, and then Tong Siqi could leave early. After tonight, he really didn’t know how to face Tong Siqi.
“Darling.”
“What?”
“I am sorry.”
“Why did you suddenly say ‘I’m sorry’?”
“Because I just suspected you, please don’t be angry, I just care too much about you… As soon as I thought you and another woman were together for a long time, I felt jealousy,” Chen Kexin said and leaned her head on Wang Weixi’s arms.
Wang Weixi smiled softly and gently kissed her hair. “No, I am not angry at all. Instead, I am very happy, because my wife cares about me too much.”
“How many time have I been deeply moved by the one in my arms?”
Wang Weixi asked himself, but he could not get an accurate answer. Hence, he just more gently embraced her. His everything, such as family, dignity, or happiness, all of these were given by Chen Kexin.
On the day they met, Wang Weixi realized that the best gift was pure Chen Kexin. She did not ask for anything, as long as his complete heart was loyal to her, how couldn’t he fulfill this simple wish?
Chen Kexin in his arms couldn’t help crying. “Am I too childish?” she asked with some remorse.
Wang Weixi shook his head and said, “No, I like you like this.”
“Really?” Chen Kexin giggled.
Wang Weixi’s heart was warming that she was very simple to coax by a few sweet words. She belonged to him completely.
Wang Weixi nodded and said, “Yes, it cannot be more real.”
Chen Kexin said happily, “So do I, I like you and everything about you.”
“Dear, how lucky I am…” Wang Weixi’s eyes were moist.”How lucky I was? I had this girl? How lucky I was? You loved me so much?”
Chen Kexin shook her head and said, “Don’t say that. In my views, you are the best in the world, unique and irreplaceable forever. Dear, sorry, I violated the principles we set. Sorry, I am always capricious.”
“It doesn’t matter, you can be more capricious. It was my fault, my fault for not considering you, my fault…” Coming back in late night, he thought that Chen Kexin had already slept, but he did not know that she was waiting for him all night, waiting for his hug, and waiting for his gentle behavior of covering her with a quilt.
“It turned out that she was just afraid of my blame, and pretended to be asleep. It turned out that when I was drunk outside, she was just waiting quietly to relieve her loneliness.”
Thinking of these, guilt and remorse swept him like a storm.
He imagined that in those dark nights, she sat alone in the hall, or sat in the bedroom, looking at the clock and waiting for him. She was always worried that he would think she was mischievous and blame her for staying up, so she deliberately covered the quilt and pretended to fall asleep. Sometimes she would really fall asleep? However, she was awakened from the dream when she heard the opening of the door, and she desired to get out of bed and rushed into his arms, but she was afraid that she would scare him, so she listened carefully his footsteps. She wanted to give him a hug when he laid down the bed and told him her feelings.
Wang Weixi did not think that such a mischievous Chen Kexin was so annoying. He liked her mischief and liked her occasional little temper. He did not express this kind of feeling early, which kept her always in fear and suspense. She even heard his things from other people’s mouth, how couldn’t he feel guilty?
“Sorry, my dear, I am sorry.”
Chen Kexin smiled. She used her hair to rub Wang Weixi’s chin and said, “Darling, it doesn’t matter, don’t both of us say sorry, okay?”
“Okay…”
…
