Chapter 56
Chapter 56 A Joyful Party
Big Sister Jiang lived in a medium house by the river of A City. Her husband was the chairman of a company which offered him a good annual salary and more opportunities to receive gifts from his clients and subordinates. Hence, Big Sister Jiang could have led a carefree life like a graceful lady, looking after her children or sometimes playing cards with her friends. However, she desired to strive for her own career and chose to work for the other company.
Her husband Tao Ming respected and understood her, so he had not objected to her decision. Hearing that a bunch of women would come to his house, Tao Ming had invited his friends to go fishing in advance. Therefore, there were only the woman, who drank together last time, and Yi Duanfang, who came to enjoy the show.
Yi Duanfang drank a lot last night after he reached home. He cursed Chen Keren, who had molested him while drinking. Although he screamed a torrent of abuse, he was not mad at her inwardly.
Yi Duanfang threw himself into the bed and fell asleep. It seemed the God went against him. Little did he expect that he dreamed that he went for a drive with Chen Keren, who looked gorgeous and fascinating. The nightmare woke him up at midnight. It looked like that he could not stand Chen Keren’s gentleness even if in his dream.
Now Yi Duanfang sat among a bunch of women, eating melon seeds and listlessly watching TV. A familiar engine sound came from outside.
Big Sister Jiang and the other women spoke in a thrilling voice. “Here Weixi comes.”
Some of them went downstairs to greet the guests. Yi Duanfang glanced at them with disdain before he fixed his eyes on TV.
Chen Kexin stood there while hooking her arms through Wang Weixi’s.
Big Sister Jiang and her friends walked out and clustered around the couple.
“Weixi, she is your wife. Wow, how pretty she is. No wonder you had been missing her while drinking outside.” Big Sister Jiang was blunt and straightforward, so she could not hold back her acclaims toward Chen Kexin.
Wang Weixi responded awkwardly, “Big Sister Jiang, Sister Li, Sister Wang, Sister Liu, stop making fun of me. Or my wife will laugh at me.”
Faced with the four women’s warm welcome, Chen Kexin looked a bit bashful and greeted in a sweet voice, “Sisters, nice meeting you!”
Big Sister Li immediately said, “You have a nice voice. You’re so sweet.” Big Sister Li’s husband was the partner of Big Sister Jiang’s husband. Hence, the two families lived together and Big Sister Li shared the same character with Big Sister Jiang, blunt and straightforward.
“Come on, let’s go inside. Don’t let the little couple keep standing outside.” Big Sister Li, who stood on the left side of Chen Kexin, suggested.
Soon they pushed or pulled the couple into the house.
If they were not his friends, Wang Weixi would have a feeling of being kidnapped. The women’s passion could burn someone to death. Wang Weixi peeped at his smiling wife and felt relieved.
Surrounded by his warm friends, Chen Kexin would not feel nervous or embarrassed at least.
Yi Duanfang raised his hands and drowsily greeted the couple, “Hello.”
Wang Weixi asked inquisitively, “Duanfang, why are you here?”
Yi Duanfang rolled his eyes and replied, “You can come here. Why can’t I be here?” He seemed to forget that he had said that it was a “women’s party”. Wang Weixi was allowed to accompany his wife to this party for they’re the newlyweds.
At sight of Yi Duanfang, Chen Kexin displayed a radiant smile. She immediately ran toward him and said joyfully, “Sister Duanfang, you’re here. That’s awesome. I have something to ask you.”
Yi Duanfang shot her a sharp glance and ignored the four elder sisters who were stupefied by the two words—”Sister Duanfang”, before he asked languidly, “What’s wrong?” Seeing Chen Kexin’s smile, he knew that it was not a good thing.
Wang Weixi came over to his wife and said curiously, “Dear, what do you need to ask Duanfang?”
Chen Kexin stuck out his tongue and asked in a witty and cunning tone, “Sister Duanfang, did you tell Keren that you love her?”
Yi Duanfang spurted out the water which had just filled his mouth.
As he did this, the others all chorused, “What? Love her!”
Wang Weixi half narrowed his eyes and said with a meaningful smile, “Duanfang, I haven’t noticed that you’re so open-minded. I thought you would be insensitive to such a kind of thing.” Little did he expect that Yi Duanfang, who had not reacted to his reasonable suggestions, had actually professed his love to his sister-in-law!”
Wang Weixi tingled with excitement while Yi Duanfang was depressed.
Chen Kexin blinked her innocent big eyes and said with a warm smile, “Yo, don’t be shy. Keren likes a straightforward person.” At this point, she completely put aside the thing that Lan Xiao was fond of her for she thought it was worthy of congratulation that her good friend loved her sister.
Then the four elder sisters came over and fell into a hot discussion. They all looked excited and delighted as if they would marry off their daughter, which drove Yi Duanfang crazy.
“Come on! Shut up!” Yi Duanfang got furious. He shouted to stop the noisy chatter with his orchid fingers and sissy posture.
Seeing the others shut their mouth, Yi Duanfang rose and roared at Chen Kexin impolitely, “Chen Kexin, don’t start a rumor. When did I tell your sister I love her? I don’t want a mad woman. Humph!”
“Are you shy?” Chen Kexin elbowed Yi Duanfang slightly, who remained upset.
Yi Duanfang gritted his teeth. Seeing the others’ expression, he realized that it seemed impossible for him to clarify the matter. Thinking of this, he glared at Chen Kexin. “The girl looks innocent, so people believe what she said. If I had not reacted quickly enough and had learned about her nature, I would have doubted whether I have told Chen Keren that I loved her.”
Wang Weixi considered Yi Duanfang with interest as he thought, “Looks like he did not do that. Kexin misunderstood him, but seeing Yi Duanfang freaking out is really enjoyable.” Therefore, the bad guy Wang Weixi decided to add fuel to the fire.
Big Sister Jiang asked impetuously, “Kexin, you have a younger sister? How does she look? What does she do?
Chen Kexin responded in a sweet voice, “My sister is pretty and has a good figure. She is the creative director of a creative company.”
The four elder sisters’ mouths were shaped in “O”. It seemed that they all showed great interest in Chen Kexin’s sister. After all, no one would not be interested in an extremely pretty girl that a special newhalf was stuck on.
Yi Duanfang explained helplessly, “Her character is really bad. She has never treated others nicely and never conceded in a quarrel. She is violent and probably beats you up when she’s in a bad mood, so how is it possible that I fell for such a person?”
“Doesn’t she look more attractive?” Big Sister Li immediately said.
Wang Weixi adjusted his spectacles and added calmly, “Right, when Duanfang got out of the room, his face turned as red as an apple. He dragged me out without saying anything and even did not dare to look at Keren. Duanfang, did you rush out after the profession?”
Hearing this, everyone became more interested in his affair.
Yi Duanfang was boiling with rage as if he was going to spat out black blood. “Wang Weixi… Good, you’re really good!”
…
The uproar lasted for a good while before they finally let off Yi Duanfang, who could not argue anymore.
Wang Weixi and Chen Kexin were busy cooking in the kitchen.
Although she only could make six dishes, Chen Kexin did it well. All the dishes looked and smelled good. As for the cold dish Wang Weixi mentioned, Wang Weixi cooked it on his own while his wife only stood there and watch it.
Seeing Chen Kexin’s clumsy action in front of the gas cooker, Wang Weixi felt warm.
“Dear, thank you.” Wang Weixi wrapped his arms around her waist and said gently.
Chen Kexin responded with a chuckle, “Thank me for what? Hey hey, I’m not clever and could only do those things. Dear, it’s good that you don’t think I’m silly.”
“Nah, you’ve learned how to cook for me. I’m satisfied,” Wang Weixi said softly. In fact, he muttered to himself inwardly, “Of course, it would be better if you can cut up meat or vegetables.”
Even Yi Duanfang was astonished at Chen Kexin cooking skills and finally paid her some compliments which made Chen Kexin happy.
The couple thought that Big Sister Jiang and the other three sisters would say something, but they all praised that Wang Weixi had good luck and married a girl from the rich family who was good at cooking. Staring at his wife, Wang Weixi felt he was one of the happiest men in this world.
The party that Wang Weixi and Chen Kexin had been worried about ended with joy.
Wang Weixi could not wait to bring Chen Kexin home and reward her for her excellent performance.
Yi Duanfang definitely was the unhappiest person in this party because the topic would always be returned to his profession of love to Kenren. No matter how he explained, the others had believed it was true.
