Chapter 34

Chen Keren always claimed herself to be honest and straightforward. She had never expected that one day she would have made up such a ridiculous story to deceive his brother-in-law, who seemed to be a very loyal and honest person.

“Are you sure that you can do that?” Chen Keren suddenly chuckled and asked.

Wang Weixi smiled slightly and did not get irritated because of being despised. “Of course,” he said smilingly.

“If so, why did you force my sister to join that gathering and make her feel anxious as she knew nothing about those things?” Chen Keren asked with a skeptical expression.

Wang Weixi remained clam after hearing this question, but Yi Duanfang, who had been sitting silently aside all this while, could not help but spout out his tea.

Chen Keren and Wang Weix simultaneously turned their faces to look at Yi Duanfang with contempt.

Yi Duanfang pulled out a tissue to wipe his face and sneered. “Anxious? Come on, Chen Keren. Are you serious? Have you ever seen an anxious person sleep until noon and surf the Internet for fun? Does your stupid sister know what anxiety is? Does she? You ask her to show me.”

Chen Keren raised her eyebrows but surprisingly, she did not flare up. She glanced at Wang Weixi, whose face became livid now, and said smilingly, “Hum, didn’t you say that my sister is your woman and you won’t let anyone hurt her, not even verbally abuse her?”

Faced with this aggressive woman, Wang Weixi touched his forehead and secretly vowed that he really wanted to chop Yi Duanfang into pieces and then fed them to dogs.

“So, your friends can verbally abuse my sister as much as they want?” Chen Keren asked coldly and her face was much glummer.

Yi Duanfang looked at her coldly, and his eyes looked even colder than snow. Thinking about what she had just done to him, he felt a chill up his spine. This is awful. I offended her for the second time today. Is she going to rape and kill me? Is she going to rape me again after that?

With this in mind, he could not help but hold his chest with both hands, the “stay-away-from-me” look was evident in his lovely big eyes.

Upon seeing his ridiculous reaction, Chen Keren’e eyes were filled with a raging anger, and Wang Weixi kept his head down while sighing secretly, Brother Duanfang, what’re you doing at this crucial moment? I could’ve taken this chance to make my sister-in-law admit that I do love Kexin very much.

Chen Keren tightly knitted her eyebrows, and looked back at Yi Duanfang with contempt and a “I-am-not-interested-in-you” look on her pretty face.

Wang Weixi tried his best to hold back his laughter and coughed a few times before saying, “Keren, you know Duanfang well. He’s somewhat effeminate. I believe that he was just joking. Don’t take it seriously.” Wang Weixi tried to reduce the tension among them, as he thought, To solve this problem, I’d better not always keep a straight face in front of Chen Keren. After all, my small eyes behind this pair of glasses can never defeat those big, cold and beautiful eyes of Chen Keren when we’re staring at each other.

And, look at Yi Duanfang. Every time he talks with Chen Keren, he can’t succeed in persuading her or something but she always lets him off, except for that throw. However, I’m her brother-in-law. She probably won’t dare to beat me. Wang Weixi could not help but smile and then continued to think, It seems that Yi Duanfang’s way works when dealing with this cold girl. Given this, why should I awalys keep a straight face when faced with her?

Chen Keren’s face became glummer again. A moment ago, she had believed that she had seized on a flaw in Wang Weixi’s statement, but now she felt very disappointed upon noticing the change in Wang Weixi’s attitude. She hated to talk with frivolous people. She put on a straight face and remained silent. Yi Duanfang gnashed his teeth and talked to Wang Weixi with lots of exaggerated facial expressions and hand gestures until Chen Keren knocked him down beside the table. Since then, he had remained still and silent. After beating Yi Duanfang, Chen Keren somehow felt much better.

“So, are you saying that because of your jealousy, you’re willing to let my sister be despised by your friends and those mean relatives of our family?” Chen Keren asked plainly. She sounded formal instead of aggressive, which made Wang Weixi feel uneasy.

Wang Weixi gnashed his teeth, while thinking, Of course, it’s because of my jealousy, but I never mean to let Kexin be despised. Wang Weixi smiled gently and replied, “I admit that I’m jealous, but I’m not that selfish. Please rest assured, Keren. I’ll teach Kexin how to cook, and it’ll be alright if she can’t master it. My friends don’t care much about this…” At this moment, he did not sound so sure.

Chen Keren asked after a moment of silence, “Your friends don’t care, but what about our aunts? Have you ever asked her?”

Wang Weixi was stunned and rendered speechless. He looked at the cold expression on Chen Keren’s face and wondered, Aunts? I’ve never heard Kexin mention any aunt. I’ve never…never thought about this.

Upon noticing the hesitant expression on Wang Weixi’s face, Chen Keren was pleased and thought, It seems that he finally realizes what he has done wrong. Stupid man, look, you don’t know anything about love. You don’t know anything about Chen Kexin. How can you say that you love her?

Yi Duanfang crossed his legs and asked with interest, “Aunts? Are you saying that your aunts are terrible? Are they just like you? Are they stupid shrews?” With these words, he put both feet back on the ground and supported his face with a hand, looking at Chen Keren with great interest.

Chen Keren raised her eyebrows and then her hand. “Bang” She smashed Yi Duan’s head on the table.

“Hey, you terrible woman!” Yi Duanfang screamed angrily. Chen Keren smiled slightly and looked somewhat relieved. “Now, you look like a man,” said she.

“Puff..” Wang Weixi could not help but burst into laughter.

Yi Duanfang clenched his fists in anger and thought, What! Someone insults me again? I can’t let anyone do this to me in the future. I have to be worthy of my title. I’m the No.1 sissy in this country!

Wang Weixi laughed since he found it quite funny when Yi Duanfang got angry after being insulted by Chen Keren, but when he noticed the increasingly glummer face of Chen Keren, he stopped laughing and asked, “If so, Keren, can you tell me what happened to you in the past? And tell me something about your mother… and your aunts…”

Chen Kexin had never mentioned these things in front of him. All she had said about her mother was that she passed away due to illness. Apart from that, she had never talked about her family. Wang Weixi could guess what kind of people they were based on the expression on her face, but every time he asked about them, she just smiled without saying a word.

He did not like to see that kind of smile on her face. Althought it was lovely, it also looked somewhat sad. She’s not as happy as I’ve imagined before, Wang Weixi thought and sighed.

Chen Keren said in an unexpectedly calm voice, “You don’t need to know this.” She thought, What can he do when he knows this? If he does love my sister, he doesn’t need to ask me about her past. Besides, she’ll marry someone else in the future, so I don’t need to tell him anything.

Wang Weixi was annoyed upon hearing this. He could not understand why his sister-in-law despised him so much that she even refused to tell him anything about the past of his wife.

Nevertheless, on second thought, he felt somewhat guilty. He always emphasized that Kexin was his wife but never cared much about her painful past. He just married her and lived with her without knowing much about her.

Wang Weixi suddenly became silent and lost in thought, which made Chen Keren knit her eyebrows even more tightly.

Maybe I overdid this. Did I push him too hard? Chen Keren wondered.

“Let her go to learn cooking from Lan Xiao,” she said plainly with an expressionless face.

Wang Weixi and Yi Duanfang simultaneously lifted up their heads. Wang Weixi looked surprised, and Yi Duanfang looked derisively at Chen Keren.

Chen Keren knew that she sounded too aggressive right now, but she did not care much about this, as she was always aggressive.

Wang Weixi asked confusedly, “Why must she go there? Even if this will make you think that I’m jealous and petty, I still have to say that I don’t like this idea and I don’t trust her to stay alone with a man like that.”

Which man will let his own wife stay alone with another man all day long? Especially when that man is much more handsome and wealthy than himself?

With this in mind, Wang Weixi refused to admit in his heart that he had done anything wrong. He even did not care about how narrow-minded he would appear to be in front of Chen Keren. I just want to keep my pretty wife, because I love her and because she’s pure and simple and that man looked at her with eyes of admiration. I won’t promise you anything, Chen Keren, and you can’t find a reason to make me promise you, Wang Weixi thought and looked more serious now.

Chen Keren was on the verge of flaring up. She had talked with an air of authority and even tried to move Wang Weixi with her words, but in the end, she still failed to make him promise her anything. Nevertheless, she knew that at this moment, she had to suppress her anger. Although she never really loved anyone or understood such a kind of persistent love, she still knew something about love.

“If you’re worried about being outshone by Lan Xiao, stop worrying about it,” Chen Keren decided to be blunt, although what she was going to say was not ture.

Wang Weixi suppressed his anger, tried his best to keep a straight face and asked, “Keren, what do you mean?” Wang Weixi was not stupid. Considering Chen Keren’s contempt for him, he was pretty sure what she was going to say.

To his surprise, Chen Keren just said flatly, “The reason is simple. Lan Xiao is my fiance.”

What? ! Wang Weixi and Yi Duanfang simultaneously turned to look at Chen Kexin with their mouths agape.

“Are you serious? You have a fiance?! Who dares to marry you?!” Yi Duanfang could not help but shrill.

Chen Keren’s face became livid, which made Yi Duanfang feel threatened. He swallowed hard and stood up, preparing to escape. Chen Keren grabbed his arm and threw him back into the sofa.

“You… You calm down!” Yi Duanfang screamed scaredly.

Wang Weixi touched his forehead and sighed secretly, This brat… oh no, this sissy… is really effeminate.

What Wang Weixi and Yi Duanfang did not know was that although Chen Keren was cold and arrogant, she had never beat anyone in the public before, and that Yi Duanfang had already subtly “changed” her.

“I don’t want to repeat my words. He’s your brother-in-law, so feel free to send my sister to learn cooking from him.” With these words, Chen Keren got up and ignored the panic-stricken Yi Duanfang.

Wang Weixi nodded. He was very surprised, but he could not say anything after Chen Keren said that Lan Xiao was her fiance. If Lan Xiao was really her fiance, he did not need to worry about anything.

“Oh, please don’t tell this to my sister,” Chen Keren suddenly said in a deep voice.

Wang Weixi looked at her confusedly while wondering, Is she just being shy? She has a boyfriend now.

When Wang Weixi was lost in thought, Chen Keren stared at him and said, “Not a word.” After that, she turned around and left.

Lan Xiao is my… brother-in-law? Wang Weixi thought embarrassedly, No wonder Chen Keren despised me so much.
