Chapter 99 - Nobody's Home

Chen Keren immediately understood something. She turned her head, looked at Yi Duanfang with angry and questioning eyes, and shouted in a low voice. “Do you like protecting that woman so much?”

She didn’t know that the incident had nothing to do with Yi Duanfang, but she had never forgotten the previous incident, and the current situation was that Duanfang hadn’t told them. It was simply not telling, but because of the last incident, Chen Keren naturally believed that Yi Duanfang had to be helping the woman in this matter.

At this time, she only felt a fire raging in her chest. She clenched her fist and tried not to lose her cool. Originally, the only person in the world who could influence her emotions was Chen Kexin. But now, she was very much aware that the reason for this anger was not only because he had hurt Chen Kexin, but also because of her disappointment.

If a woman gets disappointed by the person she likes, her liking will turn into a terrible fury. At this time, Chen Keren was experiencing this. She looked at him ruthlessly, leaving Yi Duanfang nowhere to run.

He suddenly felt that there was no need to explain. Because that even if he said anything, she would not believe him. Even if he said anything, whether he did anything wrong or not, he was the root of all this. Weixi must have promised Tong Siqi something so he did this…

Chen Kexin picked up her cell phone and said tearfully, “He still wants to lie to me.” “When you like me, you are so gentle to me. When you hate me, you deceive me? Gently deceiving, gently confessing, no matter what you do, Wang Weixi, how can you be so calm? Is your gentleness your mask? Your mask of hypocrisy…”

Her beautiful eyes became clouded. Chen Kexin felt tired. She hadn’t thought she was so tired. She didn’t know that she was so weak. She felt depressed, like the whole world was falling down on her.

“Let’s go…” Chen Kexin suddenly put away her sad appearance and spoke lightly to the two people in front of her.

Yi Duanfang looked at Chen Kexin and felt very remorseful in his heart. He feebly said, “I’m sorry… I’m sorry.”

Chen Keren snorted coldly, “You’re sorry? Now that you’ve done it, why did you come here? To shove it on our face? Yi Duanfang, are you such a dirty person?!”

Yi Duanfang stood there stupefied, thinking, “Dirty? No, I am dirtier than you think… Everything I do is for my own sake. I am so selfish that I feel sick.

But do you know… the feeling of loneliness and despair.

A lot of things, even if they are wrong, have already happened. At least you guys still have people to talk to about them, while I can only bear them alone.”

Perhaps, the more free and easy people are on the surface, the more vulnerable and lonely their hearts are. Just like Li Bai, the elegant poet, but was a drunkard who drank to relieve his sorrow.

Chen Kexin looked at Yi Duanfang and softly asked, “Sister Duanfang, is this what you have been hesitating about?”

Yi Duanfang nodded, then shook his head.

Chen Kexin smiled softly and said, “I don’t blame you.”

I don’t blame you…

Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang looked at Chen Kexin in surprise.

Chen Kexin said flatly, “I said, I believe you. Even if you had no choice but to come today, I know you are really worried about me. What right do I have to blame you?”

“Elder sister…”

“Keren, please don’t say any more. Sister Duanfang looks very sad already. I don’t want you two to have a deeper misunderstanding.” She stuck out her tongue as she said this, and then continued. “Weixi has his own reasons for this. Maybe he has already realized which woman he wants most. They were right that day. I wanted to get married. If I didn’t mention it, we might have just been a one-night stand… I caused this mistake…” Having said that, she lowered her lonely eyes.

If it hadn’t started, this wouldn’t have happened.

But if there really was no beginning, wouldn’t you feel regret…

The first time they met, she had already decided to stay with him for the rest of her life and would not leave. She thought she knew him well enough, so she thought he must have thought so too, but she didn’t know how willful and selfish she had been.

“That’s not true…” When he heard Chen Kexin say this, seeing that she was already speculating in her heart, Yi Duanfang hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

Chen Keren looked at him coldly as if she was looking at a stranger.

Chen Kexin smiled with her eyes and one could not tell just how sad she was. At this time, she didn’t want to hear another explanation, so she lightly said, “Let’s go to dinner. The medicine in this hospital is killing me. And the hospital food is really harsh. I have to make up for it as soon as possible.” With that, she grabbed Yi Duanfang’s arm and dragged Chen Keren, who was standing there blankly, forward.

Chen Keren’s heart had a kind of unspeakable sadness and heartache. Her memory of Chen Keren was always like this. Just one second ago, a breath of sadness was revealed. The next moment, she had collected herself, revealing an innocent look. Chen Keren wanted to shout at her, scold her, but she was always loving and tolerant of her.

“Sure enough, hasn’t she been deceived by Wang Weixi?” Chen Keren thought.

Yi Duanfang looked at Chen Kexin and became even more flustered. He tried several times to explain, but he was always interrupted by Chen Kexin. Finally, Chen Keren expressionlessly said in his ear, “Don’t say anything, it’s useless.”

With that simple sentence, Yi Duanfang fell into the bottomless pit again.

People blame themselves in different ways and disguise their sadness with different expressions. This was true for Chen Keren’s indifference, Yi Duanfang’s guilt, and Chen Kexin’s innocence.

Three distinct forms of expression all hid the same sadness and the same remorse.

If one wants to incriminate oneself, why are there no words? We blame others and ourselves.

They had dinner at a Japanese restaurant. Chen Kexin’s abdominal surgery was just a short while ago, so she could not eat much. Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang had been worried that she would eat a lot because she was in a bad mood, but she was acting abnormally today. She just ordered some light dishes and did not eat much. She just looked at most of it.

During the meal, the three had little to talk about. The atmosphere seemed normal, but it felt strange all around.

Chen Kexin’s cell phone rang three times in the middle of dinner. Yi Duanfang’s cell phone rang twice, Chen Keren’s cell phone rang twice, and all were calls from Wang Weixi. The three people had a tacit understanding, and none of them answered. Whenever the cell phone rang, they all kept eating their own food as if they hadn’t heard it.

Chen Kexin could pretend as if nothing had happened in front of Yi Duanfang and Chen Keren, but she could not pretend that nothing had happened in front of Wang Weixi.

That night, the moon was full of stars and the night was windy. When Chen Kexin walked out of the restaurant, it was already 9 o’clock in the evening.

The cold wind made people shiver. The three of them stood at the door of the restaurant. After eating, there was no longer a reason for silence.

However, Chen Kexin did not speak. Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang did not know how to break the silence.

Chen Kexin rubbed her hands together and turned to Chen Keren, saying, “Keren, shall I go to your place tonight? You have asked for leave for more than a week to accompany me. Hehe, let me accompany you for one night.” She ingratiatingly tugged at Chen Keren’s arm and looked at her with a smile.

Chen Keren naturally knew that Chen Kexin didn’t want to go home, and she didn’t want Chen Kexin to go back, so she said, “Well, alright.”

Yi Duanfang stood there, trying to say something, but finally, he could only hang his head feebly. By now, he knew that he had lost the so-called right to “preach.”

Chen Kexin jumped up happily and said, “Great, I haven’t slept with Keren for a long time.”

Chen Keren said with a look of disgust, “When did I say I want you to hold me to sleep? There are plenty of guest rooms in my house. Mimi will prepare one for you later.”

When Chen Kexin heard this, her mouth was drawn into a line and she pitifully said, “Uuu… I don’t want to. I just want to sleep with you, Keren… Keren…” Chen Kexin tearfully badgered her.

Coquetry is a woman’s best weapon, as long as the other party cherishes her, they will definitely be won over.

Chen Keren felt her scalp tingle, and she finally helplessly said, “Alright, stop shaking me. I can’t stand it. Okay, I’ll sleep with you tonight, okay?”

Chen Kexin smiled brilliantly. See, Chen Kexin still couldn’t help herself.

Yi Duanfang stood aside and looked at Chen Kexin’s happy smile. He only felt that the wind seemed colder tonight. A woman’s heart was like a needle under the sea. How many people could understand their sadness?

“Weixi, you really shouldn’t hurt Kexin for a man like me.”

…

Wang Weixi accompanied Tong Siqi to dinner, but in the end, he did not ask the most important thing. He felt that he was going to be driven mad by this woman. In desperation, he had to go home lonely. As he walked on the road, he bought fruit that Chen Kexin liked to eat, but when he arrived home, it was dark.

When he opened the bedroom door, the bed was empty.

The fruit fell to the ground from his hand. If it had been in the past, Wang Weixi would have thought that Chen Kexin was just staying out late again with the other two. Tonight, however, he smelled danger.

So he picked up his cell phone and called Chen Kexin. Until the ringtone faded, she didn’t answer the phone…

Sitting in the empty room, Wang Weixi hands clasped his head. “Does she know? She must be very sad…”

He wanted to explain, so he picked up the phone to send a text message but his hands were shaking.

What was the use of explaining? Would she believe him?

Wang Weixi looked at the screen of the mobile phone with glassy eyes. In the end, when he raised his hand, the mobile phone was smashed to the ground and broke into pieces.

In the empty room, Wang Weixi lay on the bed, his mind a mess.
