Chapter 146 Divergence

Sometimes, something did not need to be clearly explained. The expression in one’s eyes could tell a lot. Just like now, Chen Keren’s eyes towards Lan Xiao were speaking out aloud all what she was thinking. Yi Duanfang looked at Chen Keren uneasily. Although she said she would help Wang Weixi on their way home, now she seemed…

If Lan Xiao’s appearance changed everything, he could do nothing to help it.

“What are you thinking about just now?” Yi Duanfang asked in a low voice.

Chen Keren looked at him, smiling calmly, and said, “Why are you so nervous now?”

Yi Duanfang was not in a mood to joke. He said uncomfortably, “I’m worried.”

“Don’t worry. I am just postponed doing what you wanted.” Chen Keren said as she walked into the hall. Not far away, there were Chen Kexin and Lan Xiao wandering together, talking with and smiling to each other. Sunshine sprinkled on them and it was so harmonious. Looking at the view of their backs, even Yi Duanfang thought the two made a perfect pair.

Indeed, in terms of their financial situations, Lan Xiao was ten times and a hundred times better than Lan Xiao; in terms of talent, Lan Xiao’s further education experience in the foreign land proved himself to be more excellent than Wang Weixi and, moreover, he was the CEO of several big companies; in terms of looking, Wang Weixi looked refined and elegant, but the appearance and temperament of Lan Xiao were perfect like bestowed upon by gods; in terms of disposition, they were both good-tempered, but Lan Xiao looked more gentle. Apart from all these, he had always been in love with Chen Kexin for so many years. While Lan Xiao’s love and passion were beyond doubt, Wang Weixi was even outrun in his love for Chen Kexin— At least it was so in the affairs with Tong Siqi.

Yi Duanfang was quite worried. He even wanted to tear Lan Xiao up. But his reason told him if he did so, Chen Keren would lock him in a dog’s crate.

Ugh…

“Why are you still standing motionlessly?” Chen Keren turned around and asked curiously.

Yi Duanfang looked at her helplessly and said, “Nothing else. I am just feeling uncomfortable. Lan Xiao is excellent, but Weixi…” But he stopped and couldn’t finish his words. Forget it. In this society, if a woman grieved herself for a man merely because she was pregnant with his child, it would be quite silly of the woman to do so. Compromises would simply sharpen the pain.

Chen Keren sighed and said, “Come on. I won’t sentence Wang Weixi to death so quickly. However, if it is Lan Xiao who can make my sister smile always like this, I would like to help him to win her heart. It doesn’t matter for me who is with my sister, but whether she can be happy or not matters.”

“But you say that no one can make her really happy except Weixi.” Yi Duanfang was a bit anxious and said at once.

Chen Keren smiled and said, “But you’ve seen it yourself. Actually, there might be someone else. Moreover, the wound in one’s heart can be healed by time.” She finished her words and turned around, walking forward.

Yi Duanfang stood there sillily. “Is that true…Time?”

“Time is indeed good medicine.” Yi Duanfang thought and gritted his teeth hard and fiercely. “Which saint ass said this f*rt!”

Yi Duanfang followed Chen Keren to get into the hall. At that time, the dishes had all been prepared. Chen Kexin and Lan Xiao had seated themselves at the table. Lan Xiao seemed to try to make Chen Kexin happy so he was making many sick jokes— Such a handsome man had this kind of habit surprisingly. But Chen Kexin was always giggling at his jokes, which made the group of servants daunted.

“Keren, where is Duanfang?” Chen Kexin saw Chen Keren walking in alone, asking curiously.

Chen Keren looked back and said impatiently, “Yi Duanfang, where are you?”

Yi Duanfang walked over slowly and said calmly, “Couldn’t I admire the flowers for a while?”

Chen Keren knew that he was in a bad mood now. She thought that they had just get back in touch now so she didn’t want to bother about it, merely asking him to walk faster.

Finally, the four all got seated.

“Are you occupied these days? You even didn’t visit me.” Chen Kexin mumbled.

Yi Duanfang said embarrassedly, “Well…It is true that I am busy these days.” He grew angry at the thought of it. “The executives of our company do suck! They not only removed Weixi’s from the position of general manager but also left the position vacant. What’s more, they gave me all kind of stuffs to cope with. I even don’t want to do this job! What a horrible life of director!”

The air was oppressed by silence.

Yi Duanfang didn’t notice it. When he finally realized it, Chen Kexin’s smile had been frozen on her face and Chen Keren glared at him a little angrily and there was no expression on Lan Xiao’s face. His composure really made Yi Duanfang want to punch him in his face.

“Ah…Huh…I am always complaining. Eh…Please don’t mind. Ugh…I’m hungry. Could we begin our dinner?” Yi Duanfang asked uneasily with a smile, rubbing his hands together.

Chen Kexin nodded and smiled slightly, saying, “Then let’s begin.”

So everyone ate silently.

The atmosphere is abnormally depressing.

Everyone merely ate a little superficially, which made the Uncle Chef standing outside quite worried. Recently, Uncle Chef had racked his brains to make meals cater to Chen Kexin’s taste and physical health. But every time she only ate a little. As for today, she basically ate nothing.

“Kexin, why do you eat so little?” Lan Xiao couldn’t help feeling a little worried. He used his chopsticks to give a chunk of chicken in Chen Kexin’s bowl and said, “If you don’t eat well, the baby will be lack of nutrition.”

Chen Kexin smiled and said, “How could it be so? You all lie to me, huh-huh. The baby will take in the nutrition of my body. It seems not a big deal if I don’t eat much.”

Lan Xiao frowned and said, “If you don’t eat, how can your body have nutrition stored? Do eat more.”

Chen Kexin nodded reluctantly and said, “Alright…”

Chen Keren also picked up a bit of a dish with her chopsticks for Kexin, “Before your pregnancy reaction comes, eat more and store some nutrition.”

Yi Duanfang asked curiously, “Yep. It seemed that you haven’t vomit once…” There was an air of pity in his words.

“Probably, it’s not the time yet. Anyway… the baby is younger than two months…”

……

They chatted for a while. With the close attention of the three, Chen Kexin finally ate a lot.

Yi Duanfang looked at Lan Xiao, who was caring for everything of Chen Kexin. He looked increasingly unhappy.

“Lan Xiao, thank you so much for coming here. Otherwise, my sister eats little. If you are available afterward, do visit us.” Chen Keren said, smiling.

Lan Xiao smiled softly and said, “It is quite honored to be favored by Keren. Sure thing. I will drop by frequently for Kexin and her little baby.”

Yi Duanfang raised his eyebrows and looked even more unhappy.

Chen Kexin shook her head and said, “You don’t need to bother. I am not a kid and I’ve talked a lot with Xiaoxiao today. Never mind. I am getting over it and I will treat my baby well. Haha. So you don’t need to worry about me. Moreover, Xiaoxiao is quite busy at work. Xiaoxiao, you don’t need to visit me on purpose. If you have time, just come here and enjoy yourself.”

Chen Keren and the others said nothing.

Yi Duanfang touched his nose and said, “Yeah. You are quite busy. You cannot be available to come here every day.”

Chen Keren gave him a severe and fierce look.

Lan Xiao was still good-tempered. He said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. For me, the most important is Kexin’s health.”

……

Such kind of stagy words sounded quite warm instead of cloying and overly sweet when they came out of the mouth of Lan Xiao.

Yi Duanfang put down his chopsticks depressedly and said, “I want to go out for a walk.”

Chen Keren said, frowning, “You come not for a walk.”

Yi Duanfang suddenly beamed and said, “Alright. Then I go back to work. It doesn’t matter if I leave.”

The words sounded jealous. Who knew how blue Yi Duanfang was at the moment?

Chen Keren said angrily, “Yi Duanfang, what’re you talking about?!”

But Chen Kexin stood up and said with a smile, “I also want to go out for a walk. Duanfang, let’s come together.”

Yi Duanfang stunned and felt terribly bad at the sight of Chen Kexin’s smile. He nodded and said, “Sure. Let’s go.”

When Chen Keren wanted to say something, Lan Xiao said timely to Chen Kexin, “Keren, I also want to have a word with you.”

Yi Duanfang pricked up his ears and asked alertly, “What do you want to tell Keren?” He looked as if he was afraid that Lan Xiao would rob Chen Keren away from him.

Chen Keren rolled her eyes and said, “None of your business. Don’t you need to accompany my sister for a walk?”

Yi Duanfang looked at Chen Keren pathetically and turned away reluctantly.

Lan Xiao looked at Yi Duanfang amusedly and said calmly, “Don’t worry. I just have something concerning work to discuss with Keren.”

Yi Duanfang curled his mouth and replied in a bad mood, “What’s the f*rt to do with me?”

Chen Keren’s sharp look shot Yi Duanfang’s back immediately. Yi Duanfang couldn’t help trembling a little and looked back embarrassedly to Chen Keren. Chen Keren hummed coldly and Yi Duanfang instantaneously walked away, escaping from the hall haunted by weirdness.

Outside the hall, Chen Kexin said wittily with a smile, “Duanfang, you are not married yet but has been a hen-pecked husband?”

Yi Duanfang said sadly, “I don’t want to be! But you know how horrible Keren is.” Yi Duanfang recalled Chen Keren’s stormy attack…”Ah, woe is me.” He thought.

Chen Kexin said with a smile, “Yeah. But I think the more frank you are, the better, right? At least, there won’t be some misunderstanding…” As she said this, she couldn’t help lowering her voice.

Yi Duanfang looked at the disappointed look of Chen Kexin and said helplessly, “You… You want to ask me something, right? So you ask me to go out.”

Chen Kexin raised her eyes, which were beaming with smiles.
