Wang Weixi’s body trembled slightly. Lan Xiao appeared shocked as well. Yet Chen Kexin’s first reaction was: “Really? That’s great!”

Chen Keren revealed a faint smile on her face.

“But who’s treating?” Chen Kexin tilted her head and questioned innocently.

…

Wang Weixi felt extremely embarrassed.

Lan Xiao smiled and just as he was about to speak, Chen Keren interrupted and said coldly, “It’s on me.”

Lan Xiao and Wang Weixi said at the same time, “No.”

Instead, Chen Kexin yawned and said mindlessly, “Okay. That’s settled. Darling, let’s get on the car.” She then opened the car door and forcefully pushed Wang Weixi into the car.

Lan Xiao looked surprisingly at Chen Kexin. The way she protected her husband could actually make her look so adorable. This made him feel a piercing sharp pain in his chest.

“Get on the car. I will send you back later,” said Chen Kexin emotionlessly as she looked at the dazed Lan Xiao.

Lan Xiao looked slightly surprised before he nodded his head and walked over to Keren.

As such, the strange group of four set off.

The lunch started and ended in silence.

Chen Kexin kept sighing on the way home. Wang Weixi asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Chen Kexin shook her head and said, “Keren is too dumb. Why can’t she be more proactive so that their relationship can progress faster?”

Wang Weixi raised his eyebrows. He smirked and asked, “How proactive do you want her to be?”

Chen Kexin raised her head. She struggled with her reply as she said, “You know… at least they should hold hands or whatsoever. Ahem…”

“Oh? I thought you would want her to be like you. Just directly pull Lan Xiao into a hotel and…ahem…make love so that they can get married as soon as possible.” Wang Weixi said without trying to hide his smirk.

Chen Kexin’s face turned red in an instance as she carelessly hit Wang Weixi’s arm with her hands and said shyly, “Naughty, how dare you tease me.”

Instead, Wang Weixi smiled and said, “What have I said? Dear, I remembered that’s what you did. Did I remember it wrong?”

Chen Kexin stared at his satisfied expression as she became increasingly embarrassed and mad. She kept hitting him and said, “Darling is so naughty! I don’t want to speak to you anymore. Annoying!”

Wang Weixi finally begged for forgiveness and said, “I’m sorry, dear. It’s my fault. It’s my fault, all right?”

Chen Kexin was satisfied with his apology and stopped hitting him. She then asked him arrogantly, “Tell me then. Was it me who initiated, or you who cheated me to bed?”

Wang Weixi thought for a moment and asked, “Do you want to hear the truth or lies?”

As she looked at him trying to appear like he was caught in a dilemma, Chen Kexin said angrily, “What do you think!”

Wang Weixi noticed the anger on her face and decided to stop teasing her. He grinned and said, “All right. It’s me who cheated you to bed. You were so innocent and naive back then. And it was me who seduced you. It was me who used dirty tricks to make you marry me. Is this acceptable?”

Chen Kexin turned her face in the other direction and said arrogantly, “That’s better.”

Wang Weixi shook his head. He was indeed helpless when he was facing his lovely wife.

And so, they laughed and chatted all the way home. As Wang Weixi still have many things to settle in the office, he had to drive off after he saw Chen Kexin entered the apartment.

It was already 1:30 p.m. Since Chen Kexin had a habit of taking an afternoon nap, Lan Xiao allowed her to attend daily classes at 9 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.

Chen Kexin had even claimed that she would boil a pot of pork ribs soup for Wang Weixi because that was his favorite. The table became awkwardly silent. At that time, Wang Weixi was filled with happiness, yet he didn’t know that Lan Xiao, who was quietly sitting opposite him, was filled with pain.

Even for a cold-hearted person like Chen Keren, upon hearing Chen Kexin’s words, she couldn’t help being shocked. It was probably because she had never thought that her sister would be so in love with Wang Weixi; however, the recent incidents made her uncertain of her thinking.

Was it wrong for her to separate both of them?

Lan Xiao knew the reason for Chen Keren to initiate this lunch gathering, but he chose not to say a word. Regardless of how pain his heart was, he could not bear to break up the two of them when he noticed how happy Chen Kexin and Wang Weixi were when they were together.

Lan Xiao knew he had lost his opportunity. His love life had ended before it could begin.

—————–Dividing Line———————–

Wang Weixi returned to the office and started to busily work on the files. As it was a rare chance for him to work with Jinxiu, he used two weeks to collate everything that was required as well as preparing the necessary proposal and filings.

Wang Weixi couldn’t help but sigh at the thought of his first girlfriend. He heard that she’d yet to get married. He had also heard that she was the lover of the chairman of Jinxiu. He shook his head. It was really tough for him to like this woman.

As he recalled their past memories together, his heart ached. Even though Yi Duanfang was right to say that it had been a long time and there was no need for him to be calculative about the past, one must know that this woman had destroyed his innocent love and admiration toward her then.

When they met again, she knew that he was already married to another woman who was way better than her. Would she think that she herself was a joke then? Would she regret her past decision then?

As he sat on his office chair and his mind began to wander, he did not notice that it was time for work.

When Lan Ling came into the office, she noticed the dazed expression on Wang Weixi’s face and was slightly taken aback.

As she walked closer to him, she realized that Wang Weixi had yet to notice her presence. She smiled wryly and looked into the cup in front of Wang Weixi. Indeed, the cup was empty. Didn’t he notice it at all? Was he thinking about his wife? What kind of girl she was that make him so in love with her?

If she knew that Wang Weixi’s brain was filled with Tong Siqi now, would she be disappointed?

She sighed softly. Lan Ling took the cup and poured water into it before placing it back to the original position. Looking at Wang Weixi’s dazed expression, she could only shake her head and left the office helplessly.

Today, Lan Ling had neither put on yesterday’s thick makeup nor worn revealing clothes. She wore a white linen dress that was neither long nor short to cover her skin, making her look extraordinary attractive. Moreover, she’d stopped applying the strong perfume. After hearing Yi Duanfang’s words yesterday, she began to feel angry. After which, she thought over them and felt embarrassed. Finally, she thought that she had to reflect on her own behaviors.

The words that Yi Duanfang told her that day was obviously trying to court her. Despite she did not understand why Yi Duanfang wanted her to “destroy” the relationship between Wang Weixi and his wife, she knew that Yi Duanfang was reminding her on how she could make Wang Weixi fall for her. It seemed like the rich girl that everyone was talking about wasn’t liked by Yi Duanfang. Well, that was fine as well. With Yi Duanfang assisting her, she believed that she would be able to “take over the throne”.

Lan Ling felt more relieved with such thoughts. Even though Wang Weixi didn’t have her in his mind now, she believed that she still had time. One day, her senior would finally realize that she was more suitable for him.

“Babe, what are you thinking? You are pouting your lips.” Lan Ling did not know when Yi Duanfang had stood in front of her and watched her attentively. This alarmed Lan Ling as she felt that her secret was revealed to others. She greeted nervously, “Afternoon, Director.”

Yi Duanfang waved his hand. He actually disliked people calling him director. He wasn’t someone who loved to show off and felt uneasy when people called him that.

“That heartless Wang Weixi is here?” Yi Duanfang became pissed at the mention of Wang Weixi’s name. He could vividly remember what happened yesterday.

Lan Ling stared at him shockingly, then she suddenly remembered herself hearing the rumor that Yi Duanfang was abandoned by Wang Weixi. Now that Yi Duanfang had described him as “heartless”, did that mean that the rumor was true? Why did she suddenly felt uneasy within?

She suddenly remembered why Yi Duanfang wanted her to assist him. He was trying to make use of her to seek his revenge! Gosh, this was indeed confusing!
