《Sweetness Drowning: Callous Boss and Awkward Wife》C74. A Sudden Visit
Advertisement
Proofread by Peter Gong
After all, Tan Lin has a large powerful family supporting her.
Uncle Zhang stands in front of the door, feeling very awkward. He dares not to let Tan Lin in because Ko Chen doesn’t say anything.
Ko Chen has a mannerism. He wants to stay in his place by himself. He doesn’t like anyone else entering his place. In order to trick Yu Yu, he let her come to his bedroom a few times, which he put a lot effort to endure. Every time Yu Yu left his room, Ko Chen asked the cleaner to do a big cleanup.
It is a bit awkward when nobody talks. Tan Lin pretends not to feel the awkwardness. She goes in without awaiting somebody to invite her.
It is too late for Uncle Zhang to stop her. His hands freeze in a waving gesture in the air.
Tan Lin walks to the side of bed and sits down. She doesn’t regard herself as an outsider. She looks at Ko Chen directly with an even brighter smile.
“Chen. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Why aren’t you excited seeing me?” Tan Ling pulls one of Ko Chen’s arms and acts like a spoiled child. Ko Chen saw her information in the data. She is decisive and cruel in work place. Now she acts like a different person.
Ko Chen has no idea what’s her purpose. He raises the corners of his mouth and gives a smile. Then he covers her hand with his hand and says gently: “I was so surprised to see you. You were here before I had time to react.”
Duan Tsing Fong stands aside and looks at them with a cold look. He knows exactly Ko Chen is pretending like that. He gets goose bumps all over his body, especially when hearing Ko Chen’s tone. Standing behind Tan Ling, he shakes his body and makes a face to Ko Chen, expressing that he can’t stand it.
Ko Chen pretends not to see him. He fixes his eyes on Tan Lin. And he says to her in a charming tone: “When did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me so that I could go and pick you up.”

Tan Lin seems she doesn’t want to talk about this, so she responds perfunctorily in a few words: “I came back in a hurry. I know you were busy, so I didn’t want to bother you.”
Duan Tsing Fong knows right now he can’t do the health check for Ko Chen due to the situation. And he doesn’t want to be a third wheel. So, he just pushes his things out and closes the door for them sweetly.
Duan Tsing Fong knows just a little about Tan Lin. She is proud and arrogant since she was a child. She ignores everyone except for Ko Chen. She gives a smile to Duan Tsing Fong reluctantly only because he is Ko Chen’s friend. Otherwise she would ignore him.
Duan Tsing Fong can’t hear what they talk about now. Looking at the closed door, he gives an ambiguous look. He seems ready to watch the show and takes pleasure in Ko Chen’s misfortune. “Yu Yu is already enough for him to suffer. Now there is a Tan Lin. There will be more trouble for him.”
Tan Lin is not so easy to deal with as Yu Yu is. If she knows things about Yu Fei, she won’t let it go easy.
Duan Tsing Fong knows it, and Ko Chen also knows it clearly.
“Never mind. It’s not my business. Ko Chen will solve his own problems.” Duan Tsing Fong waves his hand nonchalantly. He gives the medical equipment to Uncle Zhang and leaves with a swagger.
In the bedroom, Tan Lin still holds Ko Chen’s arm and talks about everything. She wants to tell him anything that happened in the past years when she was abroad.
Ko Chen feels bored and tired because she keeps talking. But he pretends to be interested and gives a gentle smile. He has a good disguise. No one can tell anything from it.
In fact, Tan Lin is watching Ko Chen’s reaction when she talks. She finds out the coldness at the bottom of his eyes. She can tell that his eyes show no love to her.

She squints her eyes a little bit. She hides her cold eyes by lowering her head when Ko Chen pays no attention.
She draws the conclusion that someone has taken her place in Ko Chen’s heart when she was not around him the past few years. And that person is probably the woman she tracked down last time, Yu Fei.
“Yu Fei, it seems that I need to take some time to meet her.” Tan Lin thinks to herself.
Time passes quickly. It’s time for dinner. Ko Chen invites Tan Lin to stay and have dinner together with him. He also asks the cook to prepare a table of her favorite dishes.
As Ko Chen expects, when she sees the dishes, she is very happy. And she says: “You are the one who treats me best.”
Her tone is just like the way she spoke when she was a child. Ko Chen is lost in memories for a second. He recalls the girl who always chased behind him. She had red cheeks and her hair was braided as two pigtails. Her blinking eyes were always on him no matter when and where.
“Chen, Chen?” Tan Lin sees Ko Chen is in an absent mind, so she waves her hand in front of his eyes.
Ko Chen comes back to himself. He pretends nothing has ever happened and smiles to her: “Let’s have dinner.”
Tan Lin notices that his attitude changes. She is tactful, so she stops talking when having dinner. It becomes quiet.
Tan Lin doesn’t speak, neither does Ko Chen. He doesn’t want to start the conversation. The two remain silent, watching each other’s reactions secretly.
When they almost finish eating, Ko Chen puts down his chopsticks and looks at Tan Lin directly. He hesitates for a long while. He doesn’t speak at the end.
Tan Lin gives hints a few times that she can stay in his place. But Ko Chen pretends not to get the hints. He asks the driver to send her back.
Ko Chen stands in the window on second floor. He doesn’t stop seeing them off until they are gone.
The moonlight is bright outside the window. Ko Chen raises his head and looks at the bright moon. He can’t help but think about Yu Fei. He wants to know what she is doing right now.
According to the information provided by his bodyguards, Yu Fei is doing well these days except that Wang Feng visited her once two days ago.
As soon as Ko Chen knew Wang Feng bothered Yu Fei, he asked his people to investigate why she did so. When he found out that Wang Feng asked Yu Fei to sign the divorce agreement, he was so mad that he felt his body pained a lot.
Wang Feng and Yu Yu who live in the guest rooms are like a pair of time bombs to Ko Chen. He used to think they could be better controlled when they lived in his sight. But he never knew this would happen.
The evilness of their hearts is beyond his imagination.
Out of the frying pan into the fire. Now Wang Feng and Yu Yu look at Yu Fei fiercely as tigers do. Tan Lin also showed her purpose and thoughts when she visited him today.
He misses Yu Fei and also worries about her. The two strong feelings are mixed together tonight. Ko Chen stands in front of the window for a long time. But he still can’t figure out a good way to solve the problems.
Yu Fei doesn’t know Ko Chen’s concern about her. Right now, she is sleeping soundly with her hands over her belly. She smiles gently with the corners of her mouth pursing slightly.
