Chapter 145 - If It Is Him

Yi Duanfang lay on the table depressedly, thinking about Chen Keren hanging his phone just now.

“Does that mean I was being annoying?”

Yi Duanfang was still down. He didn’t even realize that it had been the time to get off work.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a mess outside. Yi Duanfang frowned and checked the time. “Isn’t there another minute before you’re off your work? The employees in the company are more and more unruly.” He thought.

When he was buried in his thoughts, the secretary rushed in hastily and even forgot to close the door. Yi Duanfang frowned again and said, miffing, “What’s up?”

The secretary immediately apologized and said, “I am sorry, Director. I am so sorry…But I am flurried. Outside, outside there…”

Yi Duanfang threw the files away and asked angrily, “What’s wrong with the outside?”

“Yi Duanfang, you are still alive? I guess you were already dead!” Chen Keren’s words flowed in timely and carelessly.

Yi Duanfang was frozen stiff there.

And then Chen Keren’s cold and proud face appeared in front of Yi Duanfang.

Yi Duanfang looked at her stupidly, flushing and not knowing what to say.

Chen Keren stroked her forehead and said reluctantly, “Yi Duanfang, I allow you to be fully prepared in one minute. I’ll wait for you outside.” After finishing her words, she didn’t wait for him to reply but turned around and walked away.

There were some inexplicable emotions in the air. Everyone stared at Chen Keren surprisedly. When Yi Duanfang came to himself, he got packed hurriedly and hastily, dashing out of the company. The employees were all curious about the amusing situation and there was few who left early.

When Yi Duanfang got out, he caught sight of the car of Chen Keren. He went directly towards it and got into the car immediately.

“Keren, you…you… How come you’re here?” Yi Duanfang admitted that he was still a little nervous.

Chen Keren rolled her eyes and said, “You mean that I should be still at cold war with you?”

Yi Duanfang pulled his tie unnaturally, coughing a little, and said, “Na…Nope. I didn’t mean that.”

“Hey, are you a pig?”

“What?”

……

“I didn’t call you. But why didn’t you phone me?”

……

“That is because…”

“Don’t tell me you’re busy at work.”

“It is indeed the reason…”

“Huh?!”

Yi Duanfang wore a bitter face and pulled Chen Keren’s arm and said with broken words ,”I am just…I am just afraid that you’re still angry.”

Chen Keren shook her head speechlessly, “Forget it…I assume that you are that kind of person. But it turned out that you’re this kind of person.”

……

Yi Duanfang looked at her confusedly and said, “What is… ‘that kind of person’? What is… ‘this kind of person’?”

Chen Keren clenched her fist, thinking, “I really want to hit you hard.”

“Never mind. Nothing else. My sister said that she missed you so she wanted you to visit her.”

Yi Duanfang asked quickly, “Kexin? How’s she? And the child? Is it alright?”

Chen Keren frowned and said calmly, “Except her bad mood, everything is fine.”

Yi Duanfang said disappointedly, “Yeah. It is true. But won’t the bad mood affect her fetus…isn’t there something can make her happy?”

“Except Wang Weixi, who else can make her happy?” Chen Keren suddenly asked back.

Yi Duanfang went silent. “Looking back to these days, Wang Weixi might never have had a good time. He tried to smile. Even though he was demoted, he was still hard working without complaints. But the rumors have gone around and everyone in the company knows, laughing at him and cursing him behind him. This kind of feeling seems to be the same with the one when he’s a child, doesn’t it?”

“Isn’t there a way to solve it?” Yi Duanfang asked quietly.

Chen Keren shook her head and said, “Well. Apart from reconciling them, there’s no way to go.”

……

Yi Duanfang drooped his head and said, “Yes, except reconciling…Excuse me?!” He shouted out in amazement instantaneously.

Chen Keren punched him without hesitation, making Yi Duanfang’s head slammed onto the glass window.

“Yi Duanfang, can you calm down?” Chen Keren stared at Yi Duanfang with disappointment.

Yi Duanfang said delightfully, “But I am so happy you say so…”

Chen Keren gave him a sneering look and said, “What I do is all for my sister. You know that if she is always gloomy, it will affect her fetus a lot. Moreover…I can tell that she is always wanting to hit the brother-in-law. Ah…Anyway, you are right that, sometimes, when one’s mind is bound, crazy things will be done.”

Yi Duanfang nodded. He knew that what Chen Keren referred was Wang Weixi’s stuff about the disappearance of Chen Kexin.

“Ask for a leave this afternoon and go with me to visit my sister. Tomorrow we’ll come to my brother-in-law.” Chen Keren said as she started the car.

Yi Duanfang asked immediately, “Why don’t we ask him to go now?”

Chen Keren said with a cold voice, “The one who made mistakes wants to be relieved quickly? No way. Making the disgusting Wang Weixi feel bad for a minute can make me feel good for a minute.”

Yi Duanfang was in a cold sweat. “…She is really a devil.” He thought.

When their car had been driven away, Wang Weixi walked out of the company slowly. The sunshine was dazzling. Wang Weixi frowned, wearing a disappointed face.

“Hey. Is that person came in just now the most powerful woman of A City in legends, Chen Keren?”

“Yeah. I heard before that she has a close relationship with Director Yi, and it turned out to be true! Haha…But it is reasonable. Director Yi is a friend of Wang Weixi’s. At that time, the one who’s always around the two…”

“Hey, what’re you talking about? Wang Weixi is not in the same world with them now.”

“Well, I agree. He should dare to be unfaithful to such a good wife! Huh. If I were his wife, I would have taken back my house.”

“I can’t agree more.”

“The house and car were both given by his wife. Now he wants to get a divorce but he hasn’t given her back the property. How shameless.”

“……”

Wang Weixi heard these ironic words uttered by these people brazenly and felt his heart aching.

“Everyone in the world is blaming me. Everyone. Mom is angry with me, Duanfang can’t forgive me, Keren hates my guts as her brother-in-law, and Kexin avoids me.” He felt helpless and lost, but…What could he do? How could he help with it?

Wang Weixi cracked a wry smile with the thought of it and eventually left all the words behind him and then left.

……

Getting back to home, Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang were both surprised to catch the sight of Chen Kexin and the familiar person— Lan Xiao.

Lan Xiao and Chen Kexin were wandering together and there was even a rare smile on Chen Kexin’s face.

“Why is he here?” Yi Duanfang said a little uncomfortably.

Chen Keren frowned and said nothing. It had been a long time since she ever saw the warm and beaming smile of Chen Kexin.

Chen Kexin and Lan Xiao both perceived their sight and looked back to them. Chen Kexin happily waved to them as she found Yi Duanfang here, saying, “Duanfang, Keren, finally, you’re back. Haha.”

Chen Keren walked over and asked Lan Xiao with a smile, “How come you’re here?”

Lan Xiao still looked refined and elegant. His eyes fell on Chen Kexin gently as he said softly, “I heard that Kexin is not very well recently so I came here to visit her. As for you, finally determined?” As his words came out, he looked at Yi Duanfang smilingly.

Yi Duanfang glared at him for a while and said, “I remember that you will be engaged? Where is your little fiancee?” Yi Duanfang got upset at the thought of the fiancee of Lan Xiao. Last time when he met her on the street, what she did to him… That was come-hither! It was beyond him why a person like Lan Xiao would choose to take up with that woman— even though it was out of the aim to forget Kexin…Thinking about it, Yi Duanfang couldn’t help feeling his heart melting.

Lan Xiao frowned but recovered his smile immediately and said with an air of apathy and calmness, “We decided not to get engaged. She also has the one she loves.”

Yi Duanfang looked at Lan Xiao dauntedly.

Chen Keren hummed coldly and said, “She doesn’t deserve you. I said nothing because once you two were together. Now she has done such shameful things and was nearly rooted out of the family. You don’t need to speak kindly of her.”

Chen Kexin said instantaneously, “Keren, couldn’t you be nicer in words?”

Chen Keren coughed a little and Lan Xiao said with a smile, “The world is like that. Humans do err. If you don’t forgive yourself, it will be you who’s always in pain. Be generous about everything.”

They all went silent after hearing Lan Xiao’s words.

Yi Duanfang looked at Lan Xiao surprisedly. He, of course, knew that what he suggested to comfort Chen Kexin. He would like to like Chen Kexin and Weixi reconcile like before? Yi Duangfang couldn’t help guessing that Lan Xiao didn’t know what kind of mistakes Weixi had done. “But he didn’t have an idea of it, fortunately.” Yi Duangfang thought. He hated the perfect male supporting roles with holy words in the romantic affairs.

“But I am relieved to find you still get along well with each other. I was worried that you would get into a fight because of me.” Chen Kexin said to Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang, smiling. Although she was quite influenced by the words just now, she concealed it through.

Yi Duanfang stroked his nose embarrassedly and said, “Nah. Keren did let me feel alienated from her, haha… You know, your sister has never offered me a bit of right, haha…”

Chen Keren glanced at him and kicked him with her foot swiftly. Yi Duanfang fell down helplessly and— with great pain.

“Yi Duanfang, mind your words.”

“Yes, ma’am…”

Chen Kexin and Lan Xiao looked at each other, smiling.

Chen Keren stared at them at this moment. She suddenly felt that the two matched well with each other. “If it is him…he will be good for my sister…”
