After Chen Keren came back, she walked into the kitchen calmly and looked intently at the busy Yi Duanfang. Yi Duanfang asked her what happened, but she just smiled and shook her head, saying lightly: "It's only two months anyway."
Indeed, in her eyes, as long as she had someone keep a close eye on her for two months, it would be impossible for Tong Siqi to change her mind.
But she still thought it was too simple.
"Keren, Siqi asked us to go out for dinner together today. Are you off work? If so, come and pick me up." Chen Kexin said with a smile on the other end of the phone.
Chen Keren seemed to be responding nonchalantly, but she didn't know when her hand knocked over a cup of boiling hot tea. The water flowed down the table and dripped onto her legs. She gritted her teeth hard in pain, and when she looked at her legs again, her knees were already red.
The secretary quickly picked up the water glass and tidied the table.
She frowned, looking very unhappy. The secretary was trembling with fear, and finally she just said calmly: "You can go down."
In fact, Chen Keren’s unhappiness had nothing to do with the secretary, but was due to the abnormal behavior of Chen Kexin and Tong Siqi in the past few days.
Tong Siqi seemed very confident. She knew that she could not tell Chen Kexin and Wang Weixi what she said, so she became more and more unscrupulous.
In the past few days, she took advantage of her illness and first made an excuse to apologize to Chen Kexin, and then tried to show her kindness to Chen Kexin several times.
Chen Kexin was simple-minded and felt very sympathetic towards Tong Siqi, so she acted like a good person and was even willing to accompany her to the hospital, sitting on a cold bench, waiting for her quietly. The silly Chen Kexin even started to fold roses for Tong Siqi, and she folded each one very carefully.
Every time when he saw Chen Kexin like this, he couldn't help but want to hit her. However, every time she held more and more roses and smiled brightly at him, Chen Keren always couldn't bear to hurt her.
Wang Weixi's performance is even more worrying in Chen Keren's opinion.
"Director, someone is looking for you." Just as I was thinking about something, Secretary Xiao Wang knocked on the door and said.
Chen Keren frowned. Ever since the incident with Zheng Ban, she changed her original idea. She no longer worked with the team, but set up a separate director's office.
"Who?" she asked with a frown, looking rather tired, and at the same time feeling upset by the considerable commotion outside.
Before Xiao Wang could say anything, a handsome face appeared before him.
The one who came was Yi Duanfang.
Yi Duanfang walked in with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. The secretary then quietly left the room.
"Why are you here? Are you off work?" Chen Keren didn't notice Yi Duanfang's actions, but asked curiously.
Yi Duanfang stuck out his tongue and said, "I miss you, so I come naturally~"
Chen Keren said sternly: "Not striving for progress."
Yi Duanfang walked up to her, took out a bouquet of roses from behind, and presented them with both hands, saying, "Yes, my dear wife, I am right, but to me, what else is more important than yours
, I'll give you flowers."
Chen Keren looked at the roses in front of her in astonishment. Although she had received enough roses to fill up the entire office, this was the first bouquet of roses Yi Duanfang had given her. The delicate and beautiful roses were fragrant. She smiled, took the flowers and said, "Why are you so pretentious today? And, are you really here to give me flowers?"
Yi Duanfang gently pinched her nose and said, "Not really."
"Oh? What's that for?" Chen Keren's expression changed subtly at that moment. She turned around, put the flowers she had just been holding on the desk casually, then lowered her head to review the documents and asked casually.
Yi Duanfang shook his head helplessly and said, "Are you angry?"
Chen Keren shook her head. She certainly didn't come to her because Yi Duanfang had something else to ask her, but because she had roughly guessed why Yi Duanfang came.
"Don't you want to hear why I came to you?" Yi Duanfang asked relentlessly, and put his hands on Chen Keren's shoulders.
Chen Keren replied without even raising her head: "If it's related to Tong Siqi, don't talk about it."
Yi Duanfang chuckled and said nothing.
Chen Keren thought he had tacitly agreed to what she said, and immediately became even more unhappy. She said in a very cold tone: "I have already made the biggest concession by agreeing to have dinner with her. Don't expect me to smile at her again. I'm not that kind."
Yi Duanfang chuckled. Chen Keren turned around, looked at him gloomily, and asked angrily: "What are you laughing at? Am I that funny?"
Yi Duanfang shook his head and said, "Of course not, you are just wrong. I will not come to you for that woman's matter."
Chen Keren raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Yi Duanfang patted his chest and guaranteed.
Chen Keren frowned and asked curiously, "Then what do you want to see me for?"
Yi Duanfang looked at her with amusement and said, "If it wasn't because of her, you wouldn't be unhappy too?"
Chen Keren glanced at him coldly and whispered, "Anyway, you didn't come here just to give me flowers."
After hearing this, Yi Duanfang chuckled and said hurriedly and attentively: "Okay, okay, my dear wife, can't I tell you?"
Chen Keren snorted coldly and said nothing.
Yi Duanfang didn't care, he just smiled and said: "I heard from Wei Xi that we were going to have lunch with Tong Siqi at noon, and you were going too, so I was worried that you were in a bad mood, so I came here."
Chen Keren's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Was it because she was worried that I was in a bad mood
There was a deep sweet feeling in her heart. The corners of her mouth rose proudly, but she was afraid of being seen by Yi Duanfang, so she just coughed twice and said indifferently: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
Yi Duanfang leaned down, combed her hair, and said gently, "Is this true?"
Chen Keren snorted coldly, revealing a proud attitude and said, "How could I, Chen Keren, let that kind of woman affect my mood?"
Yi Duanfang looked unconvinced.
Chen Keren
After glaring at him fiercely, Yi Duanfang spread his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I believe you, is that not enough?"
"You talk as if I were lying." Chen Keren said dissatisfiedly.
Yi Duanfang covered his mouth and laughed, thinking, you were lying anyway, okay
"Aren't you tired of standing? I'm about to get off work and have almost finished my work. Go sit over there and I'll make you a cup of tea." Chen Keren asked with rare considerateness.
Yi Duanfang shook his head and said, "I just want to hold you like this and talk to you." Then he gently put his arms around Chen Keren from behind.
Chen Keren smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about me."
Yi Duanfang nodded and said, "Well, you don't have to worry. Tong Siqi will leave in two days. I heard that she will be hospitalized after she returns. She seems to be getting weaker and weaker. It is impossible for her to do anything to hurt Kexin and Weixi."
Chen Keren nodded, and then said calmly: "Am I very cold-blooded? Obviously that woman has been like that, but I am still so hard-hearted?"
Yi Duanfang shook his head and said gently: "Of course not, it's just that we rarely easily forgive those who hurt our relatives and friends. If it were me, I would probably curse her to die early every day."
Chen Keren shook her head and said helplessly: "If she really gave up like that, I wouldn't be like this, but..."
"But what?" Yi Duanfang frowned and asked curiously.
Chen Keren looked a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a long time, she said worriedly, "Do you know what Tong Siqi said to me in the hospital that day?"
Yi Duanfang shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that day that it only proved that she was really sick?"
Chen Keren shook her head: "I lied to you because I think that as a person who can still live in this world for two months, Tong Siqi is really terrible. She actually said that she would not let anyone around her brother-in-law go until the end."
Yi Duanfang looked at her in astonishment, as if he was listening to a fairy tale.
Because in recent days, Tong Siqi has been acting very kind, smiling at everyone. Except for going to the hospital once a day, she spends all her time in the company. At one point, Wang Weixi and Yi Duanfang even had the illusion that she had returned to the past.
But after hearing what Chen Keren said, he realized how stupid he was. In fact, he just understood Chen Keren's approach, but sometimes he couldn't accept it in his heart. Now he completely understood it.
"I know that you all think I'm too cold. She is so attentive to me in front of you, like the morning sun, gentle and generous, while I am like an unreasonable and complaining woman. But you don't know how worried I have been these days... I feel anxious just thinking about this woman's madness. Although I have made full preparations, but... there are always things I can't take care of..." Chen Keren muttered to herself with helplessness on her face.
Yi Duanfang patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm here."
Chen Keren smiled bitterly, hoping, hoping that it was just her imagination.
