Chapter 131 - Pretended Peace

Chapter 131 Pretended Peace

After Chen Keren came back, she quietly walked into the kitchen and looked intently at the Yi Duanfang, who was busy cooking. Yi Duanfang asked her what had happened. She just smiled and shook her head and said faintly, “Anyway, there are only two months left.”

In her opinion, as long as she kept an eye on Tong Siqi in these two months, Tong Siqi could not make any trouble for them.

But she thought it too easy.

“Keren, Siqi asked us to have dinner together today. Have you finished work yet? Come and pick me up when you get off work.” on the other side of the cell phone, Chen Kexin said with a smile.

Chen Keren seemed to respond to her carelessly, but she knocked down a cup of hot tea. The water flowed down the table and dripped onto her leg. She gnawed her teeth and looked at her leg. Her knees already turned red.

The secretary hurriedly picked up the water cup and tidied up the table.

Chen Keren frowned and looked unhappy. The secretary trembled with fear, but at last, Chen Keren just said, “Go back to your work.”

As a matter of fact, Chen Keren was unhappy recently, which had nothing to do with her secretary. She was worried about the abnormal behavior of Chen Kexin and Tong Siqi these days.

Tong Siqi seemed to be very confident, knowing that it was impossible for Chen Keren to tell Chen Kexin and Wang Weixi what she said. So she became more and more unscrupulous.

These days, she took her illness as an excuse to apologize to Chen Kexin and showed her kindness to Chen Kexin many times.

Chen Kexin had a simple mind, and she felt very sympathetic to Tong Siqi’s situation now. So she posed as a nice guy and was even willing to accompany her to the hospital and waited for her on the bench alone and quietly. She was so silly and even began to make paper roses for Tong Siqi seriously.

Every time when Chen Keren saw Chen Kexin doing that, she could not help but want to blow her. But every time when Chen Kexin gave her a bright smile with more and more roses in her hands, Chen Keren always did not have the heart to hurt her.

In Chen Keren’s view, Wang Weixi’s performance was even more worrying.

“Boss, someone wants to see you.” when she was thinking of something, Secretary Wang had knocked at the door and said.

Chen Keren frowned because she had changed her mind after the event related to Zheng Ban. Instead of working with the group, she set up a separate Director’s Office.

“Who?” She frowned, asked wearily, and was upset by the restlessness outside.

A handsome face had appeared in front of her before Secretary Wang spoke.

It was Yi Duanfang who came here.

Yi Duanfang walked in with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. The secretary quietly withdrew from the room.

“Why are you here? Are you off duty?” Chen Keren did not notice Yi Duanfang’s action but asked him curiously.

Yi Duanfang stuck out his tongue and said, “I missed you, so I came.”

Chen Keren solemnly said, “It seems that you don’t want to make any progress.”

Yi Duanfang came up to her, then took out a bunch of roses from his back, and offered them to Chen Keren with both hands. “Yes, my wife taught me a lesson. But what could be more important to me than you? Here you are, flowers.”

Chen Keren looked at the roses in amazement. Although the roses she had received could fill the whole office, it was the first bouquet of roses that Yi Duanfang had given her. She smiled, took the flower and said, “Why are you suddenly so sweet today? Are you really here to send me flowers?”

Yi Duanfang gently pinched her nose and said, “Not really.”

“Oh? What do you want?” Chen Keren’s expression changed subtly at that moment. She turned around, put the flowers she had just loved on her desk. She bowed her head to review the documents, asking carelessly.

Yi Duanfang had no choice but shook his head and said, “Are you angry?”

Chen Keren shook her head. She was unhappy not because Yi Duanfang had other things to find her but she had probably guessed what Yi Duanfang came for.

“Don’t you want to hear why I came to find you?” Yi Duanfang still asked, by the way, put his hands on the shoulders of Chen Keren.

Chen Keren did not raise her head and replied. “If it is something related to Tong Siqi, keep your mouth shut.”

Yi Duanfang smiled and said nothing.

Chen Keren thought he had acquiesced to what she had said, and suddenly became even more unhappy. “It was the biggest concession that I could promise to have dinner with Tong Siqi,” she said in an extremely cold tone. “Don’t expect me to smile at her again. I’m not so kind.”

. Yi Duanfang giggled, and Chen Keren turned around, looked at him gloomily, and asked angrily, “Why are you laughing at? What’s so funny?”

Yi Duanfang shook his head and said, “Of course not, it’s just that you thought wrong. I won’t come to find you because of that woman.”

Chen Keren picked her eyebrows and asked suspiciously, “Really?”

“Why am I lying to you?” Yi Duanfang patted his chest and promised.

Chen Keren frowned and asked strangely, “Then what do you want?”

Yi Duanfang looked at her funnily and said, “If it’s not because of her, you will not be happy either?”

Chen Keren looked at him indifferently and said in a low voice, “Anyway, it’s not just to send me flowers.”

When Yi Duanfang heard this, he giggled and said gallantly, “All right, dear wife, can I tell you now?”

Chen Keren sneered and gave no response.

Yi Duanfang did not care, but smiled and said, “I heard Weixi say that we were going to have lunch with Tong Siqi at noon. I am afraid that you may be in a bad mood, so I came over.”

Chen Keren’s heart suddenly missed a beat. “Because you’re worried I’m in a bad mood?”

Her heart was full of sweet feeling. The corners of her mouth rose triumphantly, but she was afraid that it would be seen by Yi Duanfang. So she coughed and said peacefully, “Thank you for caring, and I am feeling good.”

Yi Duanfang bent down, bowed his head, touched her hair and said gently, “Really?”

Chen Keren hummed coldly, showed a haughty attitude toward him and said, “How could I be affected by that woman?”

Yi Duanfang’s face showed he didn’t believe it.

Chen Keren glared at him, and Yi Duanfang said shrugging, “Well, I believe you. Is that all right?”

“It sounds like I’m lying,” Chen Keren said with dissatisfaction.

Yi Duanfang sneered, covering his mouth, and thought, “You are lying indeed.”

“Aren’t you tired of standing?” “I’m getting off work. Things have been almost done. You can sit over there and I’ll make you a cup of tea,” said Chen Keren with rare thoughtfulness.

Yi Duanfang shook his head and said, “I just want to hold you and talk to you.” As he spoke, he gently encircled Chen Keren from behind.

Chen Keren smiled slightly and said, “Don’t worry about me.”

Yi Duanfang nodded and said, “Well, you don’t have to worry so much. Tong Siqi will leave in two days. She will go to hospital to get treatment. She seems to be getting weaker and weaker, and it is impossible for her to do anything to hurt Kexin and Weixi.”

Chen Keren nodded, and then said lightly, “Am I very cold-blooded? Tong Siqi is so poor, but I am still so hard-hearted.”

Yi Duanfang shook his head and said gently, “Of course not. It’s just that we rarely forgive people who hurt our beloved ones and friends. If it were me, I might hope that she would die quickly.”

Chen Keren shook her head and said helplessly, “If she really gave up, I wouldn’t do that, but…”

“But what?” Yi Duanfang frowned and asked strangely.

Chen Keren looked a little embarrassed, and she hesitated for a long time before saying anxiously, “Do you know what Tong Siqi said to me that day in the hospital?”

Yi Duanfang shook his head and said, “You just said that you had proved that she was really sick that day.”

Chen Keren shook her head. “I lied to you. As a person who can only live in this world for two months, Tong Siqi is really terrible. She said that she would not let anyone around Wang Weixi go in the end.”

Yi Duanfang looked at her in amazement, as if listening to the absurd story.

Because in recent days, Tong Siqi had been very kind and smiled at everyone. Except for going to the hospital once a day, she stayed in the company all the time. Wang Weixi and Yi Duanfang even had the illusion that she had become the girl she used to be.

But when he heard Chen Keren say so, he realized how stupid he was. In fact, he only understood what Chen Keren did, but sometimes he still couldn’t accept it, but now he totally understood her.

“I know you all think I’m too cold-hearted. She is so attentive to me in front of you, as gentle and magnanimous as the morning sun, but I am like a crazy woman. You don’t know how worried I am these days. I was anxious when I thought of the madness of this woman. Although I am fully prepared, there’s always something out of my reach…” Chen Keren murmured to herself with a helpless expression.

Yi Duanfang gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’m here with you.”

Chen Keren smiled bitterly.”I hope that I just thought too much.”
