Chapter 94 - Chen Keren, I'm Sorry

“Well, I’ll wait for you.” Stepping out of the cafe, Tong Siqi was obviously in a good mood as she looked at Yi Duanfang, who was left standing there.

Piercing lightning tore through the clouds in the dark sky, lighting up Tong Siqi’s face in three points.

Yi Duanfang nodded. Although he hated the Tong Siqi in front of him very much, he could no longer help himself.

This feeling of being in someone’s grasp turned out to be so uncomfortable. There was a feeling of fear of having nowhere to run.

Tong Siqi turned around, opened a black umbrella and walked to her car.

Yi Duanfang mindlessly watched the downpour falling from heaven onto earth, and his heart felt disappointed. “I’m sorry, Kexin, it seems that Sister Duanfang will really hurt you.

“Sorry, everyone is selfish.”

He lowered his head in frustration and water droplets splashed on his canvas shoes. “This pair of canvas shoes seems to have been bought last time when I went shopping with Chen Kexin and Chen Keren. I remember when Chen Kexin said with a smile that I looked very good in these shoes, while Chen Keren…” In his mind, Chen Keren’s appearance, her aloof and proud self, was more delicate and gentle than anyone else’s. What had she said at that time?

“It’s childish. How old are you to wear canvas shoes?” Her words reverberated in his ear, and Yi Duanfang’s mouth suddenly pulled up into a beautiful smile, which surprised Tong Siqi when she turned around.

Tong Siqi suddenly felt a bit sorry. Actually, Yi Duanfang had not done anything wrong. He had even explained for Wang Weixi and begged her to return to Wang Weixi’s side. It was her… It was she who made him angry beyond control that he finally blurted out those words.

Yi Duanfang had no less love for Wang Weixi than she did, and it was even more affectionate and simpler than she had for him. But now, she wanted to threaten him with his simple love…

Tong Siqi suddenly felt very sad. Had she become so dirty? She smiled helplessly.

Raising her head and seeing Yi Duanfang’s expression of hatred, Tong Siqi couldn’t help shivering—this former friend now treated her as an enemy. “Why… why doesn’t he understand me? Why are he and Chen Kexin so close? Why? Chen Kexin not only took away my beloved but also took away my friend. I must make her pay the price!”

At the thought of this, her mouth smiled coquettishly. “You know, you can also refuse my request? Just tell Weixi your feelings for him.”

Yi Duanfang looked at her furiously and wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only breathe heavily.

Seeing the flustered Yi Duanfang, Tong Siqi turned around with a light smile and finally got in the car and then disappeared without a trace on this rainy day.

Yi Duanfang’s clenched fist finally fell limply and the freezingly cold rain hit his face.

“What are you doing here?” Suddenly, Chen Keren’s voice sounded in his ear.

Yi Duanfang looked up in consternation and saw Chen Keren with a small pink umbrella. She closed the door and walked slowly to Yi Duanfang’s side with a splash. The umbrella stayed over her head.

Yi Duanfang recovered from his shock and asked curiously, “Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be working at this time?” At the same time, he was glad that Chen Keren had probably not seen him with Tong Siqi.

Chen Keren smiled proudly and said, “After working overtime, I took a week off to accompany my sister. What? Haven’t you taken some time off too? Or is it because your boss fired you for always skipping work?”

Yi Duanfang gave her a white look and said, “You’re the one who just got fired! I’m just bored. I’m just out for a walk.”

Chen Keren looked at him suspiciously and asked, “You came out for a walk? You didn’t bring an umbrella to walk around on such a day?”

Yi Duanfang looked at Chen Keren guiltily, touched his nose and said, “Do you have any control over my habits?”

Chen Keren said with a sneer, “Don’t lie to me. Do you think I didn’t see it?”

When he heard this, Yi Duanfang stood there blankly. It turned out that Chen Keren had just seen them. Did she hear them… Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Keren in front of him with fear, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to say it.

He thought, “Chen Keren must be very angry. She must think that Tong Siqi and I are colluding. She is too smart…” Think of this, Yi Duanfang took a step backward. With Chen Keren so close, his heart was filled with fear. In his heart, the feeling of being guessed was spreading. He never knew that he was this scared of Chen Keren.

However, he and Tong Siqi were together from today onwards. Even if it was against his will, he had to do something that would hurt Chen Kexin…

“Hey, what is that look on your face?” Chen Keren asked with a frown.

Yi Duanfang did not speak. He dodged Chen Keren’s probing gaze and did not know what to do.

Chen Keren pulled him under the umbrella and said slowly, “All right, what’s the matter? Am I going to eat you? ”

Yi Duanfang didn’t speak. Chen Keren’s actions this time were really strange. “Shouldn’t she be furious? Why is there no reaction? Why does she still look happy? Did yesterday’s incident make her reject Weixi? Does she think it is better for Weixi to be separated from Kexin now?”

Chen Keren had no idea what Yi Duanfang was thinking. Finally, she just sighed slightly and said, “You are so strange today.”

Yi Duanfang smiled awkwardly. He thought, “In my eyes, you are stranger.”

“However, I didn’t expect you to meet this woman you have always hated for your sister’s sake. I am very grateful for this, and my sister will certainly be moved,” Chen Keren suddenly said.

Yi Duanfang just stood there.

The corners of Chen Keren’s mouth slightly lifted up. It was not like her usual arrogant expression but instead was a bit child-like.

Yi Duanfang’s heart seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. Did she think that he came to see Tong Siqi only because Kexin was aggrieved? But…

He felt as if there were thousands of worm ants drilling his heart; it was in crazy pain. Like being torn and pulled, making him feel suffocated.

But seeing Chen Keren like this, he found that he did not even have the courage to tell the truth. He was afraid—afraid that if Chen Keren found out, what would her smile at this moment turn into? He did not dare to imagine. He was not afraid to face an angry Chen Keren, but he was afraid to see her disappointed.

Yi Duanfang suddenly found himself fearing Chen Keren—something he had never felt toward anyone except for Wang Weixi. He stared at Chen Keren stupidly, looking at her wide smile and blurred eyes.

“Let’s go to your company,” she said with a slight smile. Chen Keren hadn’t seemed to notice the change in Yi Duanfang.

Her attitude was the kind of gentleness that he had never been seen before. She was so gentle that it made Yi Duanfang feel afraid一afraid of losing it all of a sudden.

When did he start to feel this kind of inexplicable emotion towards her? When did he begin to expect her to keep such a smile all the time? Clearly… clearly he had merely seen her smile, but he was already so worried, so scared, but he felt too late to cherish it.

Chen Keren saw that Yi Duanfang had not budged. She looked up curiously and found that Yi Duanfang was staring at her. Their eyes met, and Chen Keren’s face turned red. Yi Duanfang nodded and said, “Well, then why are you going to our company?”

Chen Keren looked away and said calmly, “What else could it be? I was afraid brother-in-law would be in a bad mood and can’t eat rice, so I bought breakfast and came over. Who knew I’d meet you on the way?”

Yi Duanfang kept standing there blankly. On this rainy day, Chen Keren’s warm smile melted his heart. At this moment, he suddenly had an impulse to hold her tight.

“Why didn’t I find out earlier? Chen Keren, it turns out that you are not only kind to Chen Kexin, but as long as you approve of someone, you will treat them carefully. However, seeing you like this, it feels as miserable as being pricked with needles at the moment. What should I do? Have I done something that no one will be able to forgive?

“God, why are you playing jokes with me? Why must I… meet you?”

“Don’t worry, how could I let Weixi go hungry? I bought breakfast early in the morning and ate with him.” Yi Duanfang tried his best to restrain his panic and spoke with his usual arrogant smile.

Chen Keren smiled and said, “Well, then you are quite careful.”

“What about Kexin? Did she have a good meal? Yesterday’s incident… Is she very sad? Is she angry? Does she never want to see me again?” At the thought of Chen Kexin’s expression at that time, Yi Duanfang felt extreme remorse, but he felt that he would not be forgiven by Chen Kexin in this lifetime. “And then I have to let her down even more.”

Chen Keren mockingly patted him on the arm and said, “Are you nervous about my sister? Ha ha, don’t worry, she knows that you were acting on impulse, and it was also because my brother-in-law was scolded by Chen Derong that the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry.”

“You just jumped over the wall like a dog!” Yi Duanfang said grumpily.

Chen Keren waved her hand and said, “In short, she doesn’t blame you. So, don’t worry, and get in the car. I already bought this breakfast, but since brother-in-law has already eaten, you can eat it instead. Even if you’ve finished eating, you have to eat again!” Chen Keren said toughly.

Yi Duanfang’s mouth twitched, but he did not refuse.

The two got in the car.

“Did Kexin say anything… about Weixi?” Yi Duanfang asked a bit nervously.

Chen Keren’s smiling face froze and then revealed a bit of worry as she said, “My sister looks like she doesn’t care about anything most of the time, but she is really stubborn to the bone. So, I also don’t know what to say. The two of them will probably have to clear up their misunderstandings and settle their hearts by themselves.”

…

Yi Duanfang leaned helplessly. “Chen Keren, I’m sorry…”
