Saving Wang

Chapter 60 To Make Ourselves Feel Better Ⅱ

Chen Kexin always looked like a child who had not grown up, yet she was only hiding her real feelings. No matter how sad she felt, she would wipe her eyes and respond to them with an innocent smile as long as those people who cared about her hoped to see her smiling face.

　　Chen Kexin also concealed her feelings today. She did not like pretending to be happy, but her past was burdened with too many unbearable griefs, so she had to get used to wearing a mask. Wang Weixi had not learned about what his wife had gone through and hoped that she could smile like that forever. Hence, Chen Kexin did as he expected. Giving a carefree smile was better than putting on a sorrowful look.

　　Wang Weixi had no idea of Chen Kexin's innocent disguise. Even Chen Kexin herself did not realize that she would be able to recollect the hidden self only when she felt sad. Just like this noon, she actually wanted to growl at Wang Weixi, yet she only vented all the grievances by crying and questioning her husband with a few words. She knew that she could have said something awful to provoke Wang Weixi to slap her, but she still could not bear it and did not want to make Wang Weixi sad. Even though she knew what she said had already broken her husband's heart, she had no choice but to do that because she would have been on the brink of collapse and definitely hurt his feelings even more if she had not aired some of her grievances. Hence, she gave herself an outlet for bad feelings, not allowing herself to lose her mind.

　　However, Yi Duanfang and Chen Keren were unaware of it. They simply thought that Chen Kexin was sad about being misunderstood, so they only needed to make her happy. Chen Kexin went to wash her face. When she reappeared in front of them, she looked brilliant, which overwhelmed the duo. "I am done. Let's go," Chen Kexin said with a sweet smile. Although her red, swollen eyes had recovered a bit, tear marks were still faintly visible, which was nothing when compared to the charming smile on her face.

　　Yi Duanfang nodded and responded. "Well, let's go." Chen Keren stared at her sister in puzzlement. Chen Kexin stuck out her tongue as she said, "I must dress up for hanging out with you guys." Then she walked to hook her arm through her sister's. The latter nodded and hesitated for a while before she replied, "Lan Xiao just said that he wants to come over and see you. Do you want to meet him?"

　　Chen Kexin froze. Before she gave her answer, Yi Duanfang interrupted unceremoniously, "What's the point of meeting him? If he had not embraced Kexin, this issue would have not happened at all. He seems excellent, but except for the family background, Weixi is not inferior to him in any other aspects. Humph, I don't know why you're always on his side." Finishing those words, Yi Duanfang felt awkward because he sensed a sort of unspeakable arrogance and jealousy in his words. Chen Keren glared at him and said, "Lan Xiao is much better than you guys. Don't compare him to someone who is not at his level."

　　When he heard the ice queen Chen Keren unexpectedly arguing for other men, Yi Duanfang flew into a rage. Seeing a fresh quarrel would break out between the duo, Chen Kexin immediately said, "I won't meet him until Weixi cools down..."

　　Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang looked at each other and fell silent. The trio went out while harboring different feelings. Yi Duanfang always thought that Chen Kexin was a pitiful girl from a wealthy family for she had not been to the supermarket until she got married. Little did he expected that she had never visited any shopping malls or other brand stores, either.

　　In the car, Yi Duanfang eventually couldn't help but hold his forehead and ask, "Kexin, I want to ask you a question." Chen Kexin was waiting for his question with an expectant look as Yi Duanfang raised his head and looked at her, saying seriously, "How did you grow up?"

　　Chen Kexin was stunned. She thoughtfully stroke her head while Yi Duanfang was looking forward to her reply because it was rare to see a total good-for-nothing like Chen Kexin. Seeing Chen Kexin's tangled expression through the rearview mirror, Chen Keren, who was driving, could not help but lift up the corners of her mouth. Now Yi Duanfang seemed impatient and knitted his eyebrows.
