Saving Wang

Chapter 48 A Family Party Ahead of Time

After work, Wang Weixi drove to pick up his wife. When she saw him, she jumped for joy like a child.

"Honey, I've learned how to make scrambled eggs today~" Chen Kexin burrowed her head into Wang Weixi's chest the moment she walked out and said proudly.

Wang Weixi touched her hair and said gently, "Honey, you're really brilliant." In the meantime, he wondered, "Why does it take her a whole afternoon to learn how to make such a simple, easy dish?" He chose not to speak his thought as he did not want to hurt his wife's pride.

When Chen Kexin nodded smilingly at Wang Weixi, Lan Xiao stepped out. Wang Weixi did not feel hostile toward him after the meeting at noon. They greeted each other cordially, and Lan Xiao smiled even more brightly when seeing Chen Kexin in Wang Weixi's arms. "Kexin has never cooked before, so when she said that she wanted to learn pork ribs soup, I refused. I just taught her a simple dish today, hehe," Lan Xiao said gently.

Wang Weixi looked at Chen Kexin, his eyes full of love. "Um, thank you. Kexin is a little clumsy. I used to teach her how to cook, but she got burned accidentally. This accident made me feel guilty for quite a long time," said Wang Weixi.

Upon hearing that, Lan Xiao thought, "No wonder Chen Kexin came with a wounded thumb when she first met me.

"I tried my best to appear calm on the surface at that time, but I did feel somewhat upset inside. I thought that Wang Weixi had forced her to learn something that she didn't like, but now it looks like that was not the case.

"Otherwise, how can she look so happy now?"

"Honey, I'm smart and capable, aren't I?" Chen Kexin asked in a sweet voice.

"Yes, you are. Well, let's go home. I'll cook for you," Wang Weixi said smilingly.

They said goodbye to Lan Xiao, got into their car and left.

Lan Xiao stood in the place, seeing the car speed away. Somehow, he felt much calmer than before. He even thought that it was ridiculous for him to felt jealous and unhappy with Wang Weixi.

"They look happy. That's enough," thought Lan Xiao.

He turned around and saw a group of housewives walk toward him. Some of them began to gossip.

"Mr. Lan, who's that girl? Is she married? Is that man her husband? I nearly mistook her for your girlfriend," a woman came up and asked.

Lan Xiao smiled embarrassedly. The housewives gazed at him, giving him lots of pressure.

"Mr. Lan, you're still single, aren't you? If so, my sister still has a chance~"

"Mr. Lan, how come a handsome and successful man like you is still single?"

...

This was the first time that Lan Xiao had regretted having started this female-oriented business.

"Mr. Lan, I heard that you own several very famous French restaurants beside this business. Is that true?"

"Mr. Lan, my sister is pretty and she's also a very nice person."

...

Lan Xiao could only smile embarrassedly at them again and again.

Soon enough, it was evening.

The moment Wang Weixi and Chen Kexin reached their door, they got a call from Chen Derong.

After talking with Chen Derong on the phone, Wang Weixi looked grim. "Honey, what's up?" Chen Kexin asked with curiosity. "What did my dad tell you?"
