When Yi Duanfang told Chen Keren the news of Wang Weixi's resignation, Chen Keren was silent for two seconds and then hung up the phone.
Before Yi Duanfang had the chance to tell her that he had resigned, he had been feeling lonely for the entire winter.
well... ...
Sitting in his small room, Yi Duanfang was drinking and looking through the photo album he had always carried with him. He had been looking for Wang Weixi for three days, but he disappeared without a sound. He didn't dare to call Li Chunhua, who had already returned to her hometown, because he was afraid that she would worry, but he also wondered if Wang Weixi had gone back. Yi Duanfang was so conflicted that he had no choice but to call Chen Keren to tell her the news. He originally wanted Chen Keren to help him find Wang Weixi, but Chen Keren's reaction was really... ...
I accidentally flipped through their college photos and found one of them showing Wang Weixi sleeping on a table. He still had short, neat hair, no glasses, and a slightly furrowed brow, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem in his sleep. The afternoon sun gently fell on him, making him look so peaceful.
Yi Duanfang suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes. He even doubted whether he could really let go of this man.
When he heard the news that he had resigned, he felt a blankness in his heart that he had never felt before... He was not panicked, but he didn't know how to react to all this. He just stood there stupidly.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised and he closed the photo album.
Slowly closing his eyes, his mind flashed back to Chen Keren's face without a smile, then her occasionally gentle expression, and her rare girlish and lovely smile. Deep or shallow... ... but he remembered them all clearly.
What on earth am I thinking about... Yi Duanfang smiled self-deprecatingly. Now that he has a woman he loves, how can he still be obsessed with Wang Weixi? The most important thing now is... ... well, to make Kexin and Weixi reconcile.
Thinking of this, he took another sip of wine, thinking, Lan Xiao is always courting Ke Xin, I wonder if this guy is going to take any action. Oh, what should I do, the opponent is a bit strong...
... ...
Just as Yi Duanfang thought, Lan Xiao also went to the Chen family villa today and made Chen Kexin very happy.
But after laughing, both of them felt some unspeakable emotions in their hearts, like a sense of loss spreading and growing.
"Kexin, what did the doctor say? The baby is fine, right?" Lan Xiao and Chen Kexin sat on the sofa in the hall. He looked at Chen Kexin's belly. He couldn't see anything at this moment, but it had been two months and one day. Such a little life was growing slowly in the belly of his beloved woman.
Chen Kexin smiled and said, "Yeah."
Then the two of them suddenly had nothing to say.
This terrible silence made Lan Xiao feel a little overwhelmed, because he knew that if they were lovers, they would be very happy even if they didn't say a word and just sat together doing their own things, and they wouldn't feel uneasy. However, there was always a thick film between him and Chen Kexin, and he didn't know what to do to eliminate this barrier.
Chen Kexin held the cup, sipped her tea, and looked at the scenery outside the window, seeming a little absent-minded.
"Ke Xin... I have something to give you." Lan Xiao felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he took out an exquisite little box from his pocket.
Chen Kexin stared at him with eyes wide open, chuckled and asked, "Xiao Xiao, what good things have you prepared for me again?"
But my heart suddenly started beating very fast.
At this time, Chen Keren also drove back. After getting out of the car and stepping onto the steps, she heard Lan Xiao's gentle voice. "I... ... You have always known my feelings, right?"
Chen Kexin looked at Lan Xiao in a panic. The originally calm situation was broken. She slowly put down the cup in her hand and nodded lightly. She didn't dare to look up, and even didn't dare to look at Lan Xiao.
Chen Keren stopped there quietly, carefully pricking up her ears to listen to the sounds inside.
Lan Xiao seemed a little nervous as well. He placed the jewelry box in front of Chen Kexin and slowly opened it. There was a ring inside.
Chen Kexin looked at the ring and bit her lip.
Lan Xiao took a deep breath, and then said seriously: "During this period of time, I saw that you always forced yourself, whether it was laughing or eating, no matter when, you seemed to be very happy, but... ... everyone can see that you are not happy."
Chen Kexin forced a smile and said, "No, you're overthinking it... I'm really fine. I have to think about the baby's health, so I have to be happy every day."
Lan Xiao shook his head and said, "You know, there's no way I can believe it."
Chen Kexin stopped talking.
"Before, I was worried that I couldn't give you happiness, so I chose to go out and hone myself, but now, I have enough confidence, I want to keep you by my side... ... I hope to take good care of you and the baby..."
Chen Kexin remained silent.
Lan Xiao looked at her anxiously. Because he had no experience in love, he didn't know how to say sweet words, but his sincerity was there, not a bit less.
"I'm sorry... I can't accept it..." Chen Kexin turned her face away and said softly.
Lan Xiao was silent, looking at Chen Kexin at this moment. In fact, he had expected this answer, because he knew that Chen Kexin's heart was not something she could give to anyone. Once she fell in love with someone, she would be willing to spend her whole life with him.
However, when I heard her refuse in person, the sadness did not diminish in the slightest.
Seeing Lan Xiao didn't say anything, Chen Kexin looked up at him and said uneasily: "I'm sorry, I know it's useless to say sorry, but in my eyes, Xiao Xiao needs a unique good woman in the world to be worthy of her. And I..." At this point, she lowered her eyes and forced a smile: "I'm just a fallen woman. A woman who can't even control her own man..."
Lan Xiao shook his head, closed the jewelry box, stood up, gently touched her hair and said, "Don't say that about yourself."
Chen Kexin raised her eyes and just smiled without saying anything.
"I know you're just too stubborn. I also know you'll reject me, but I can't help but feel a little regretful since I've never really confessed to you. I'm leaving now, and I don't want to have any regrets in my heart, so I want to convey this friendship to you."
Chen Kexin looked at Lan Xiao unexpectedly and said, "You want to leave?"
Lan Xiao sat there, smiled faintly and said, "Yeah."
"Why...you didn't tell me..." The voice became smaller and smaller.
Lan Xiao just lowered his head and said nothing.
Chen Kexin bit her lip and said, "It's me... Is it my fault?"
Lan Xiao shook his head and said, "Of course not, it's just that I seem to have gone a little too far. There was some trouble in the company in France, and I have to go and solve it myself."
Chen Kexin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then you will be back soon, right?"
Lan Xiao still smiled softly, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Chen Kexin looked at him like this and asked anxiously, "Don't tell me... you don't plan to come back again?"
Lan Xiao nodded.
Chen Kexin bit her lip again and whispered, "But... But... Won't you feel lonely being alone in a foreign country?"
"Haha... Silly girl, what are you talking about? I have always lived abroad. I have always been... In China, I feel a little uncomfortable, haha... Besides, several of my head offices are actually abroad. It's time to settle down."
Chen Kexin didn't say anything, tears seeping from the corners of her eyes.
"You can keep the ring. I hope that even if you don't accept me, you can at least accept this gift." Lan Xiao said dejectedly.
Chen Kexin hung her head like a child who had made a mistake, and nodded after a long while, but tears still fell.
My heart suddenly felt lonely again.
Another person is about to leave me.
... ...
"When are you leaving?" At this time, Chen Keren walked in and asked lightly.
Chen Kexin and Lan Xiao both looked at her in surprise. Chen Keren walked over, sat next to Chen Kexin, looked at Lan Xiao, and motioned him to answer.
Lan Xiao smiled helplessly and said, "You, even eavesdropping is so natural?"
Chen Keren rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do I need to apply for a permit?"
Lan Xiao smiled without saying anything. She was the only one who could remain so calm regarding Chen Keren's personality.
Chen Kexin said angrily, "Stinky girl, when did you come back?"
"Does it matter when I come back? I'm just continuing the conversation you're on. Hey, Lan Xiao, when are you leaving?" Chen Keren said nonchalantly.
"What a cold-hearted girl." Lan Xiao couldn't help but complain helplessly, then put away his smile and said, "Two hours later."
... ...
Both Chen Kexin and Chen Keren were a little surprised.
Lan Xiao looked at the expressions of the two people, smiled gently and said: "Okay, it's time for me to catch my plane. Take good care of yourself." After Lan Xiao finished speaking, he got up and left.
Chen Kexin and Chen Keren had no time to react until they heard the engine sound of Lan Xiao's car.
... ...
Chen Kexin stood up and was about to go out, but the housekeeper rushed in and said breathlessly: "Miss, Miss, it's bad! The master... the master was beaten!"
Chen Kexin and Chen Keren showed disbelief and said in unison: "What?"
"Really? There's still gauze wrapped around his head!"
... ...
"Who hit you?" Chen Kexin asked hurriedly.
The butler suddenly stopped talking, with an extremely strange and awkward expression.
