Love is a very strange thing. It is never up to us to decide who we are going to fall in love with. Sometimes, a person will love someone before he or she knows it, and sometimes when a person firmly believes that he or she is in love with someone, that someone is already not important to him or her at all.
No matter those feelings are true or false, they always remain ahead of the reality.
Upon hearing Chen Keren’s question, Yi Duanfang widely opened his mouth in surprise and failed to close it until one minute later. Chen Keren found his facial expression hilarious.
When he finally recovered from the shock, she stood up, prepared to leave.
“Ah!!!” he suddenly shouted.
She turned to look at his rapidly changing facial expression.
“Chen Keren, you’re such an abnormal and evil woman. How can I like a woman like you? Me, Jealous? F*ck, I haven’t been jealous of anyone since I was born! You thought too much! That’s it. See you!” With these words, Yi Duanfang pushed Chen Keren aside, ran out of the room, and then directly rushed into Wang Weixi’s room. He took Wang Weixi by the arm and dragged him away.
“What happened to you? Are you beaten stupid by Chen Keren?” asked Wang Weixi.
“Let’s leave this place as quickly as possible. They’re such a group of idiots!” Yi Duanfang said while tightly grabbing Wang Weixi’s arm.
Chen Kexin caught up with them and grabbed the other arm of Wang Weixi, while saying sweetly, “Honey, why don’t you stay here to chat with me?”
When Wang Weixi was about to speak, Yi Duanfang pushed Chen Kexin’s hands away and said grumpily, “You guys can meet each other every day. Why do you have to make him stay here for some time? Your husband is late for work. Let him go!” With these words, he hurriedly dragged Wang Weixi toward the exit.
“Honey, I’ll come here to pick you up in the evening,” Wang Weixi said helplessly to Chen Kexin before Yi Duanfang dragged him out of the cafe.
Upon noticing that waiters and waitresses in the cafe turned their gaze toward them again, Yi Duanfang said furiously, “What are you looking at? Get back to your work.” He sounded as if he were the owner of this cafe.
In this way, he dragged Wang Weixi all the way into his car. He panted heavily and then urged Wang Weixi to speed away.
Wang Weixi finally got a chance to look at Yi Duanfang’s face, which was bright red now. He could not help but wonder what Chen Keren had done to his friend. Instead of starting his car, he asked slowly, “Duanfang, what happened to you? Why does your face become flushed?”
Yi Duanfang touched his own face and thought in surprise, “F*ck, it feels hot!” He hurriedly explained, “No, nothing. You think too much. It’s because of the weather. I just feel hot.” He fanned himself with his hands and grumbled, “It’s really hot today.”
Wang Weixi asked with curiosity, “Really? I don’t think that it’s hot today.”
Yi Duanfang gave him a long, hard stare and said sullenly, “Start your car. We’re late for work.”
Wang Weixi nodded smilingly and said, “Okay, I’ll stop teasing you.” With these words, he started his car slowly.
Chen Keren stood in front of the window of her room and watched Wang Weixi’s car speed away. Somehow, she felt pleased. She turned around, left her room and went back into the room where Chen Kexin and Lan Xiao stayed.
The moment she entered the room, she saw the angry face of Lan Xiao.
She smoothed her hair and asked casually, “Is there anything wrong?”
Lan Xiao glanced at Chen Kexin, who was busy eating her cake, and said grim-facedly to Chen Keren, “Let’s go out to have a talk.”
Chen Kexin looked up at them, smirked and asked with curiosity, “What? Why can’t you have a talk here? Do I disturb you?”
Lan Xiao shook his head and replied softly, “No, you just stay here.”
Chen Keren stood up and walked out without saying a word. She knew what Lan Xiao was going to say.
Chen Kexin smirked again and asked, “You guys just can’t wait to talk privately. Am I right?”
Lan Xiao looked at her helplessly as he wondered, “Is she always so insensitive? I’ve done so much for her, but she still believes that I love her sister. Kexin, you really hurt me…” He forced a smile and said, “Uhm.” After that, he stood up and walked out.
When Chen Kexin thought of Yi Duanfang’s face, she smiled and thought, “Did Sister Duanfang confess to Keren and get turned down? Is that why he looked so annoyed when he left? Did Xiaoxiao feel jealous because Keren and Sister Duanfang spent some time together in another room? I seem to have found explanations for everything.”
She chuckled and exclaimed in her heart, “Wow, Keren is indeed popular~”
Outside the room, there was a lot of tension between Chen Keren and Lan Xiao. They remained silent in the beginning and both of them looked somber.
“What did you say to Wang Weixi?” Lan Xiao had no choice but to speak first as Chen Keren did not take the initiative to talk.
“I told him that you’re my fiance,” Chen Keren replied without hesitation:
Lan Xiao was rendered speechless, anger unusually evident on his face.
Chen Keren was not scared at all. She even asked confidently, “What? Did you get upset for this? I did this for you.”
Lan Xiao bleakly forced a bitter smile and said, “I know you said this to make Wang Weixi agree to let Kexin learn cooking from me. But how can you tell such a lie? You really don’t care about your reputation at all.”
Chen Keren asked with a look of disapproval, “Are you worried about me?”
Upon seeing her cold face, Lan Xiao felt somewhat sad and sighed secretly, “Chen Keren is not the cute naughty little girl I knew before.” He sighed and said softly, “Keren, stop it. I know you just want to take care of your sister, but she’s happy now. Isn’t this enough?”
Chen Keren was rendered speechless. She did not know what to say, as she knew clearly how much Wang Weixi loved his sister.
Lan Xiao continued, “I treat both of you as my sisters and never want to hurt you. I know that your mother’s death caused you tremendous pain, but I hope that you can forget about the pain and live a happy life. Only in this way, your mother’s soul can rest in peace forever.”
Chen Keren looked deeply at Lan Xiao, but Lan Xian failed to detect any emotion in her eyes.
He knew that she would not change her mind easily.
Right at this moment, Chen Kexin sneaked to the door behind them and put her ear against it. She ignored everyone nearby and made up her mind to eavesdrop their conversation.
“Keren, I know that you just want to create chances for Kexin and me by sending her to learn cooking from me. But you should know that she loves only Wang Weixi. You can’t force her to love me. Stop playing this matchmaker between Kexin and me,” Lan Xiao said solemnly.
Upon hearing that, Chen Kexin covered her mouth with her hand to suppress her surprise. “What? I was wrong about everything. Lan Xiao… Lan Xiao loves me, and Keren wants me to love Lan Xiao…”
She was totally confused and wondered, “Why does Keren want to do this to me? Why does she want me to marry another man? Is it just because she doesn’t like Weixi?” She felt hurt.
Chen Keren seems to have expected this to happen. She snorted coldly and asked, “You knew it from the very beginning, didn’t you? You knew that I wanted my sister to marry you. You knew that I lied to her and her husband. But why did you still let her come to your place and learn cooking from you? Why do you still treat her so tenderly when you know everything.”
Lan Xiao was rendered speechless.
“You said that you didn’t want to become a third person, but can you betray your own heart? Don’t you think that as an ‘ordinary’ friend, you care too much about my sister? Lan Xiao, don’t be so confident. There are many things in this world that you can not easily give up. Your actions have already betrayed yourself,” said Chen Keren.
Lan Xiao looked at her silently and then sighed helplessly. He had to admit that she had a point. He could hardly give up Chen Kexin. He had loved her for years.
He did not want to give up this pretty girl, who smiled so warmly and could make him forget about all his pains.
“But… I really don’t want to spoil everything she has now,” Lan Xiao said helplessly after quite a long time.
Chen Keren smiled with satisfaction and said, “I just want you to spend more time together. I never said that I wanted to force her to marry you.”
Lan Xiao looked at Chen Keren, confusedly.
“You’re right. My sister is very happy now. I’m not that scheming. I won’t interfere in your relationship or force you guys to get together. I hope you can control yourself, Lan Xiao,” said Chen Keren.
Lan Xiao remained silent.
Chen Kexin hurriedly left the place, as she was worried that they would discover her at any minute.
She went back into the private room, feeling lost. Chen Keren and Lan Xiao’s conversation kept reverberating in her head, which made her lose her appetite.
She sighed helplessly and looked out the window. The golden sun shone upon the ground, and everything looked lively outside. Nevertheless, she felt sad as if she were trapped in a somber winter. She was restless and lost in thought.
“How come… Lan Xiao loves me?”
