Memories are a compulsory course in one's life because no matter how ruthless and unjust some people are, they have their own memories and also recall what they have experienced. Some memories will make us happy with everything we have now. But some memories will make us feel confused about the decisions we have made.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi and Tong Siqi had dinner in a high-cla.s.s restaurant not far from the company. They sat by the window on the second floor. As Yi Duanfang had taught him a lesson before he got off work, w.a.n.g Weixi felt guilty. "Because of the busy first day, I almost forgot to tell Chen Kexin that I would not go back. The worst part is that my sister-in-law is actually at my home, which means she knows this thing..."

　　At the thought of it, w.a.n.g Weixi was depressed. "Chen Keren is so mean and she doesn't like me much. Now she will take this opportunity to charge me with a certain unforgivable crime."

　　"What's in your mind?" Tong Siqi asked curiously. In fact, she had watched w.a.n.g Weixi for a long time and noticed that he had been distracted.

　　She could not help but recall the past days. "He had never been distracted when we were together. At that time, he would be too nervous to talk with me, let alone the other things. However, now... I'm in front of him, but his mind had drifted away."

　　w.a.n.g Weixi turned his gaze back from the window and looked at Tong Siqi. Sometimes her calmness was suffocating him. This sort of calmness was different from Chen Keren's indifference, yet it radiated an air of arrogance as Chen Keren did.

　　It seemed that he had got accustomed to Chen Keren's att.i.tude, so faced with Tong Siqi, he only smiled softly and said, "Nothing, it's lively outside."

　　Tong Siqi nodded, a hint of coldness flas.h.i.+ng in her eyes. "In the past, he would not lie to me, but now, he took it for granted and he told me a lie so naturally.

　　"However, even if you lied, you gave me such a smile. It seems that you did not feel guilty about it."

　　When a person was so attached to the past, he would be caught in memories. Even though he tried to seal the past, his memories would be rekindled when he faced old friends.

　　"I thought you were recollecting something." After two dishes were served up, Tong Siqi lowered her eyes and asked with a smile.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi felt his heart skip a beat. "Recollect? Yeap, that's true. But I only recalled something about Chen Kexin. Just four months, but I feel that it is worth remembering for a lifetime."

　　He chuckled and said flatly, "Since it's a memory, then it happened in the past. Since it's about the past, it's meaningless to recall them."

　　"Oh? But you're not an indifferent, ruthless person in my eyes. At least, I remember that you were full of vitality and pa.s.sion at that time." Tong Siqi said with a faint smile, but a complicated look was revealed in her eyes.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi was stunned and stared at Tong Siqi. The latter smiled and lowered her head to eat dishes.

　　Time pa.s.sed by. w.a.n.g Weixi did not know what to say, and he did not figure out what Tong Siqi meant. "Did she want me to recall the past? But it's tantamount to rubbing her nose in it. Moreover, our relations.h.i.+p does not require any memories at all."

　　The necessary memories were enough before he saw her.

　　The breeze blew through the window in the suns.h.i.+ne, bringing a hint of coolness. The two were quietly eating, but the atmosphere was a bit suffocating.

　　Until Tong Siqi suddenly talked about the problem of their project, previous cooperation that w.a.n.g Weixi's company had done with other companies as well as companies' condition, they became talkative.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi had to admit that, they could only talk about work when they met again after those years. He couldn't help but feel a little sad and upset. If he said he did not care, he was telling the lie. Everyone would have an unforgettable memory. Even if he did not recall it, the pain still lingered there.

　　As w.a.n.g Weixi mentioned that Yi Duanfang made a proposal about the improvement of the project, Tong Siqi showed some interests.

　　"Duanfang looked a bit sissy in the past. How could he not keep a low profile, instead become more and more charming after work? I saw that he actually wore makeup. I was surprised and delighted. If you had not got married, I would have thought he was trying to seduce you." Tong Siqi teased.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi coughed and replied awkwardly, "I did not expect that you would make such a joke. Duanfang just likes to dress like this. Anyway, he might have fallen for someone. Although they haven't dated, I think it's just around the corner."

　　Tong Siqi raised her eyebrows and said with a hint of disdain, "Are you talking about your sister-in-law?"

　　w.a.n.g Weixi nodded. What happened between them last night suddenly sprang to mind. He couldn't help but gasp and said awkwardly, "Forget it, don't mention it."

　　Tong Siqi naturally knew what he meant. She only responded with a faint smile, "I am not so stingy. Your sister-in-law is younger than me, so she might be arrogant because of her age. I won't mind it."

　　w.a.n.g Weixi nodded and said, "Yeah, she was only 22. She is too young and impulsive and doesn't know how to behave properly." Although he said those words, he had another view of his sister-in-law, which was the real reason why he wanted to meet Yi Duanfang. "This b.a.s.t.a.r.d must have told Chen Keren about my affair with Tong Siqi, which made Chen Keren have some scruples. She feared that Tong Siqi would not behave herself and also wanted to give him a warning so that she treated Tong Siqi badly last night."

　　However, in Tong Siqi's eyes, Chen Keren was really young and arrogant, but she was extremely competent. She was actually the second director of Jinxiu. Tong Siqi hated her when thinking of it. Therefore, she could only blame it on her age. Seeing w.a.n.g Weixi agree with her point, she finally found some balance in her heart.

　　"Your sister-in-law is brilliant indeed. I heard that she didn't rely on her family for a penny. She must have suffered a lot, and she must be dominant, so I'm really worried that she isn't fit for Duanfang. You know, isn't Duanfang too weak?"

　　w.a.n.g Weixi shook his head and said, "Duanfang? He is not weak. He only hadn't found a person who could make him tough, and Keren is dominant outside but gentle inside. Although she looked aloof and arrogant, she lost her temper like a child in front of him. In that case, they're a perfect match." (He really had a unique view!)

　　Tong Siqi chuckled and did not deny it.

　　When they almost finished their dinner, the sisters were still talking about Yi Duanfang's anecdote. Yi Duanfang should thank G.o.d. Fortunately, w.a.n.g Weixi had not come home. Otherwise, Yi Duanfang would have spat out three litres of blood and died of rage.

　　"Right, I saw your wife last night, and she's really different from what I imagined." Finally, Tong Siqi lost the patience of a cat chasing a mouse and suddenly turned the topic to Chen Kexin.

　　Chen Kexin felt her nose itch and made a loud sneeze.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi's chopsticks stopped in the mid-air for a few seconds before he continued to pick up the food as if nothing had happened. He said with a smile, "What's the difference? Is she very cute?"

　　Tong Siqi felt her heart tingle, but she still said with a calm look, "Yeah, she is lovely and cute, so I was surprised. I always thought you liked gentle and graceful girls. I didn't expect you would marry such a cute girl. Anyway, she was gorgeous. She wore a cla.s.sic cheongsam and a dignified makeup, but she looked pretty, fresh and vital."

　　Even she was a bit surprised that she would pay his wife a compliment like this. She knew that she had a grudge against him and wanted to take revenge on the happy w.a.n.g Weixi, so she had to remove the obstacle—Chen Kexin. However, at the thought of her, Tong Siqi could not control herself and compliments popped into her mind. It was also inconceivable for w.a.n.g Weixi to hear her praise because w.a.n.g Weixi knew that she must not like Kexin. "That's blamed on Kexin who stood up for Keren. But it seems impossible for her to stand by." With this in mind, he could not help but sigh the sisters' affections.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi nodded and said, "Yes, but she is very gentle and nice. In this society, if one wants to find a gentle, well-behaved, and lovely girl, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention... You might also hear that she is from a wealthy family, but she is not arrogant or wilful at all. I appreciate it." The moment w.a.n.g Weixi talked about Chen Kexin, an air of sweetness and gentleness were naturally revealled on his face, which tingled Tong Siqi's eyes.

　　Tong Siqi nodded and barely forced a smile. "Really? That's your fortune."

　　w.a.n.g Weixi also nodded and his eyes were full of infinite tenderness. "Yeah, she is the greatest gift in this world." He said in a extremely sincere, gentle tone so that Tong Siqi did not know how to react.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi looked up. Seeing Tong Siqi being stunned there, he suddenly felt a bit sorry. Although she had dumped him, thee previous things were still vivid in his mind. He even doubted whether she had some secret sorrows and he might forgive her if he learnt about it. However, he was clear that he was married. There was need to think about the past. The only change was his mentality. He had put down the hatred of Tong Siqi.

　　Tong Siqi lowered her head and felt tears well up in her eyes, but w.a.n.g Weixi did not notice it and only hear her clam voice. "In this case, you should cherish her."

　　w.a.n.g Weixi felt as if his heart was knocked out by someone. He was silent for a few seconds and said solemnly, "Of course."

　　Now they did not have anything to say.

　　They decided to leave. w.a.n.g Weixi would take Tong Siqi to visit several construction sites of his company in the afternoon, so he suggested that Tong Siqi take a good rest.

　　Just when they was about to leave, a little girl came from nowhere with a basket of roses in her hand. She wobbled and came to w.a.n.g Weixi, saying coyly, "Uncle, buy a rose. I know you're playboy when I saw you."

　　w.a.n.g Weixi helplessly stared at this little girl who seemed to be only five or six years old. "How did I look like a playboy? This little girl is so navie, how could she know those things?"

　　Tong Siqi glanced at the roses which were bright red, blooming in the suns.h.i.+ne, like the most splendid midsummer in her life.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi half-squatted down and pinched the little girl's face, saying amusingly, "Kid, how do you know I'm a playboy?" As a 27-year-old man, he did not mind being called Uncle.

　　The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked like a naughty Chen Kexin.

　　The little girl obviously did not expect that w.a.n.g Weixi would raise such a question. She was a child, so she had no idea what it meant. Just her parent taught her such a sentence in order to highlight her cuteness. She turned to look at Tong Siqi, who kept silent with an indifferent look, and she stuttered, "Big sister is so beautiful."

　　Tong Siqi still had an expressionless look on her face. She only stared at w.a.n.g Weixi and wanted to know what he would do next, but no matter how he reacted, he would not buy her flowers.

　　In fact, she never knew what was in w.a.n.g Weixi's mind. When she firmly believed her speculation, w.a.n.g Weixi had taken out the money and bought a basket of roses.

　　"Little girl, you're really a sweet talker. Haven't you had lunch yet? Hmm, take the money and go back to find your parents. Say an uncle bought this basket of roses." he said softly, as if he was talking to his own child.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi liked children. He had been expecting Chen Kexin to give birth to a child, so they did not use the condom given by Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang.

　　The little girl was stunned. Then she took the money happily, handed the roses to w.a.n.g Weixi, and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you, uncle." Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a kiss on his face.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi froze. A gentle smile spread through his face. He stroked the little girl's hair and said, "Go ahead. Don't let your parents wait."

　　The little girl then left delightedly. He stood by the window and looked downstairs. After a good while, he saw a young woman leading the little girl away.

　　Until then, he lowered his head and saw the basket of roses. Unexpectedly, the number of roses happened to be 11, which represented "I love you".

　　He awkwardly smiled at Tong Siqi and said, "Little kids always arouse our love for them."

　　Tong Siqi nodded and was perturbed for she did not know whether w.a.n.g Weixi would give the bunch of flowers to her or bring it back to Chen Kexin.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi adjusted his gla.s.ses on the nose. Silent for a while, he handed the flowers to Tong Siqi and said, "I'm a man and can't have these flowers. If you don't mind, just keep it."

　　The short silence added an air of weirdness.

　　However, Tong Siqi hesitated. When w.a.n.g Weixi was ready to take the flowers back, she smiled and said, "Okay."

　　After she received the flowers, no joy was revealed on her face for she knew that w.a.n.g Weixi did not want to give her flowers.

　　"Then let's go back."

　　"OK."

　　As they went downstairs, Tong Siqi seemed to think of something again and suddenly asked, "Do you like children very much?"

　　w.a.n.g Weixi nodded and said, "Of course. They are very cute and bright."

　　"Then is your wife a child in your eyes?"

　　w.a.n.g Weixi was stunned and said with a smile, "Yes, she is like a child, mischievous and cute. Sometimes it gives me a headache, but now it is an indispensable part of my life."

　　Tong Siqi bit her lip. "A child? w.a.n.g Weixi, it's impossible for you to love a lively girl, isn't it? You're lying to me... I believe that you married her not because you love her. You're only raising a child..."

　　Thinking of this, Tong Siqi suddenly had a sense of self-confidence and satisfaction. "Right, w.a.n.g Weixi has never wanted such a woman to be his wife. w.a.n.g Weixi, I know better than you. You could only be mine..."

　　Hatred rose as well as love at this moment. Tong Siqi knew that she had to change her revenge plan: she would not only destroy his happy life, but also let him have a happier life with her. It was a sort of revenge and conquest.

　　In the suns.h.i.+ne, Tong Siqi got into the car with a stony face. A flicker of indescribable coldness was revealed in her eyes.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi drove her to the Jiulong Hotel. As he was about to drive back, his mobile phone rang.

　　He picked up his phone. It turned out to be a MMS with a photo of sweet and sour spare ribs and stir-fried tomato and scrambled eggs... There was a line of words: Chen Kexin prepared love lunch for his husband, but his husband did not cherish it, so Chen Keren and I had to take it~"

　　w.a.n.g Weixi was upset. He suddenly recalled what Yi Duanfang said in the morning. "'You will regret it...' Oh, I'm really regretful."

　　He looked out of the window with infinite resentment. "I actually missed love lunch my wife made..."

　　When he was in a sombre mood, another message from Yi Duanfang came. He opened it and it was a warm and sweet photo of Chen Kexin and Chen Keren eating together with Yi Duanfang grimacing behind them. w.a.n.g Weixi felt pent-up.

　　"Yi Duanfang, this guy, why didn't you say it early?

　　He decided to drive home for he thought it was better to eat their left-over than nothing.

　　However, the tragic thing was that the plates had been washed clean when w.a.n.g Weixi returned. Chen Kexin was preparing to go out for tea with her sister. Seeing Chen Keren's cold stare, w.a.n.g Weixi knew that she must be mad at him because he had not called Chen Kexin. As this point, Yi Duanfang was flipping through the magazine that Chen Keren had read while talking with Chen Keren from time to time.

　　Obviously, w.a.n.g Weixi was given the cold shoulder in this house.

　　"Dear, why do you come back?" Chen Kexin fixed her face and walked out. Seeing w.a.n.g Weixi standing in a daze, she could not help but ask curiously.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi gave an awkward smile and said, "Nothing, I was back to take some doc.u.ments. I'm leaving now."

　　"Oh."
