Saving Wang

Chapter 24 Lan Xiao

In an atmospheric cafe lit up by warm yellow light, three people were sitting by a wooden table.

　　With beautiful music in the air, Chen Kexin was eating a plate of pasta with contentment written all over her face.

　　While the elegant Chen Keren was drinking coffee and looking at Chen Kexin, she was wearing a mixture of feelings on her face.

　　Sitting across from them was a equally elegant man with dark hair and a perfectly scuptured face, exuberating an air of a sedate man. As he sat looking out of the window, his gentle eyes coupled with a faint smile on his face accentuated his charm.

　　"How have you been these years, Kexin?" he said. Compared with Wang Weixi, his voice sounded gentler and warmer.

　　Chen Kexin nodded and smiled faintly. "It has been great, how about you Xiaoxiao?"

　　The man frowned lightly as he thought in his heart, "How could I be well without you?" In an attempt to cover up the melancholy feeling in him, he replied, "I had been well."

　　Chen Kexin nodded as she continued eating the pasta. Chen Keren, however, tightened her grip around the cup in her hand. She was trying to hold back the urge to vent her anger on Chen Kexin.

　　"Why did you come back so abruptly?" Chen Keren asked, putting down her coffee cup.

　　Lan Xiao continued to smile warmly and gently, looking extremely attractive with those dimples on his face. He averted his gaze to rest on Chen Kexin, who was concentrating on her food and said with a melancholic tone, "Abruptly? I thought I came back a bit too late."

　　Chen Keren turned to look at Chen Kexin and with a hint of a smirk on her face, she said, "Indeed. You can't turn back certain things once you missed it."

　　Lan Xiao nodded and held his peace.

　　Supporting her chin with her palm, Chen Keren fixed her gaze on Chen Kexin. The only sound audible in the room came from Chen Kexin eating.

　　"Xiaoxiao, how did you become such a great chef? This is amazing..." Finally, Chen Kexin finished eating the entire plate of pasta and looked at Lan Xiao contentedly and admiringly.

　　Lan Xiao chuckled and cast a loving look at Chen Kexin, saying, "That's because I love to watch the look of contentment on the face of someone I like when she enjoys my cooking." "It is because then, you said you are looking for a man who could whip up various delicacies."

　　As Chen Kexin took a sip of her coffee, an admiring look appeared on her face and she asked, "Someone you like? Who's that?"

　　Lan Xiao revealed an embarrassing smile while Chen Kexin continued, "What a lucky girl she will be."

　　Lan Xiao looked at Chen Kexin with pensive sadness. Indeed she was a blessed girl, but her blessings did not come from him.

　　Chen Keren set this date up for Lan Xiao and her sister, but she did not come here to hear their meaningless conversation, so she cut in before Lan Xiao could finish his sentence. "I heard you opened a company, Lan Xiao?"

　　Lan Xiao was taken aback as he stared at Chen Keren. He found it strange to have received Chen Keren's invitation since there were not many who knew about his return. How was she so clear about his whereabouts?

　　As their eyes met, Chen Keren felt uneasy and quickly looked down. Her red hair, which stood out under the lights, made her look stunning.

　　Lan Xiao chortled. "It's not a big deal. I have no desire to take over my parents' company. I have merely set up a small company for myself."
