When Jiang Rui returned home at night, he saw Chen Chen sitting on the couch and her head kept nodding which showed she almost fell asleep.
He would come back no matter how late it was. Ordinarily, the little woman would have slept in bed, but today…
“Haha!” Jiang Rui held her onto his legs. “They didn’t want to?”
Chen Chen heard the familiar voice when she was half asleep. She opened her eyes right away and stared at him. “How did you know?”
Jiang Rui’s heart became soft when he saw her sleepy and still trying to open her eyes. But his eyes turned a bit cold when he thought of the news he just got.
“What’s wrong?” Although Jiang Rui covered it well, Chen Chen still discovered it.
“Nothing!” Jiang Rui kissed her. “Tell me the whole thing.”
Chen Chen told him what Zhou Yiyun said and asked, “Should I ask Scar first?”
“Then he will definitely tell you she is not his type.” Jiang Rui held her up. “It depends on destiny. You can’t make it work by yourself. Come here, we should sleep now!”
Chen Chen who still wanted more advice from the man was soon conquered. And she heard his words when she was in a blur.
“I’ve worked so hard. Why is there still nothing in your belly…”
When Chen Chen woke up at noon, Jiang Rui had left and she was alone at home. Even Hei Zi was recruited because of the exercise. Tuan Zi went to visit on the weekend, which caused that the team which would have won lost to Bear and his fellows.
Since then, once Tuan Zi was in the troops, her treatment could be compared with Jiang Rui’s.
Having eaten the lunch Jiang Rui left for her, Chen Chen went to the hospital again. Today, she decided to start with Scar. But the minute she went in, she heard Zhou Yiyun’s voice.
“Escaped? What!”
“Who escaped?” Chen Chen asked right away.
Scar turned around and saw her. Then his eyes shivered. He realized immediately that master didn’t tell her. If he told her, it would be disaster.
Seeing his anxiety, Zhou Yiyun didn’t dare to say. Chen Chen pouted, “What are you keeping away from me? I will call Brother Xiao Rui and ask him.”
“No, Mrs. I’ll tell you. Don’t call him.” Scar looked at her helplessly. “Tang Yue escaped.”
Chen Chen was shocked. “How did she escape?”
Tang Yue was badly hurt too that day and had been locked in the hospital of the prison. Jiang Rui had interrogated her in person, but she just cried and begged him for the chance to live. Later, the doctor made sure that there was something wrong with her brain and she was taken to the psychiatric hospital.
“She escaped on the way. The cops sent her there were drugged and knew nothing.” Then Scar added, “Master didn’t tell you because he was afraid you might be worried.”
Chen Chen said seriously, “She must have been saved!”
“Yes.” Scar nodded. “Bear is investigating.”
Zhou Yiyun suddenly caught Chen Chen. “You can’t come here tomorrow.”
“Why?” Chen Chen looked at her with confusion.
Scar agreed with Zhou Yiyun. “Miss Zhou is right. Tang Yue wanted to die with you the last time. Now she is unconscious. If she finds you, it will be unpredictable.”
“But Brother Xiao Rui didn’t forbid me to come out.” Chen Chen thought Jiang Rui wouldn’t allow her to go out if there would be danger.
“Eh…” Scar stopped for a minute. “Because there is someone protecting you!”
Chen Chen stared. “Why didn’t I realize?”
“If you can find them, they have trained for nothing.” No kidding, they were absolute elites.
They had been used to protect Song Chunli but then she had a big fight with Jiang Rui. So Jiang Rui took them back. Jiang Rui was the most hated person in the terrorists’ eyes so it was agreed to use the military force to protect his families.
“If you run into something when you’re here to see me, I will hate myself!” Zhou Yiyun was scared. “Don’t come here these days.”
Chen Chen was driven back home by Scar. On the way, she was still asking.
“Scar, how do you think of Zhou Yiyun?”
“Quite beautiful.” Scar focused on driving.
Chen Chen rolled her eyes. “It is very beautiful, okay?”
“Mrs…” Scar said, disturbed, “She is not my type.”
“Affection can be cultivated.” Chen Chen patted on his shoulder. “You have to take good care of her during this period! And you will find how great she is.”
Scar nodded as a yes to stop Chen Chen continuous mumbling.
That night, Jiang Rui went back early and brought Hei Zi back.
“Woof! Woof!” Hei Zi ran to Tuan Zi and licked. Its tail was almost shaken off.
Tuan Zi touched its head. “I know! I know! I’ll get you a beef can.”
“What did it say?” Chen Chen came closer.
Tuan Zi happily ran to the kitchen and took a dog can over. “Hei Zi said the food in the troops is not good at all.”
“Yeah!” Chen Chen thought for a minute and ran into the kitchen.
When Jiang Rui finished showering, he saw the little woman leaning on the table. There was a big bowl of noodles there with a chicken leg on it.
“I made it!” Chen Chen gave him the chopsticks. “Have a try!”
Jiang Rui touched her face. “What did you eat tonight?”
These days, he told the cook to come back for Chen Chen and Tuan Zi. The cook was a fifty-year-old fat guy who was always tardy. But he had a good relationship with Chen Chen. Xiao Si heard it and sighed that they were the same kind of people.
“We had Fish Filets.” Chen Chen pushed the bowl to him.
Jiang Rui quickly finished the noodles and the chicken leg. Chen Chen asked him smilingly, “Is it tasty?”
“Of course. Liuliu cooks better and better.” Jiang Rui kissed her as a prize.
Tuan Zi added, “The sauce was prepared by the cook. The chicken leg was bought outside. What mum did was just to wait for the water to boil and then throw the noodles in.”
Chen Chen pushed Tuan Zi onto the couch. “You’re so not obedient to me!”
“Dad, you see, mum is annoyed!” Tuan Zi was not afraid of her and smiled.
Jiang Rui pulled Tuan Zi out under Chen Chen’s body and hit on her forehead. “I’ve told you not to be mean to your mother!”
“Wuwu…” Chen Chen got into Jiang Rui’s arms. “Let’s have a docile child.”
Tuan Zi narrowed her eyes at Jiang Rui which meant I had helped you.
Jiang Rui smiled and touched her head. Then he held Chen Chen back to the room.
When Chen Chen felt her waist was gonna break and wanted to push the man away, Jiang Rui held her tightly.
“Baby, you said you wanted a docile child! Let’s continue…”
In the morning, when Chen Chen woke up, she found herself still in the man’s arms. She bit him at first and then went to take a shower. When she was showering, Jiang Rui ran in and ma.s.saged for her for quite a while. At last, she was not angry.
“Why don’t you go to the troops today?” Chen Chen took the clothes he gave to her and asked, “Are we going to go out?”
Jiang Rui said when he was shaving his beard. “Today is the weekend. We can go out to eat.”
“Hahaha!” Chen Chen held him from his back shamelessly. “Brother Xiao Rui, you look so s.e.xy when you’re shaving your beard!”
“Then, do you want to eat it up?” Jiang Rui tidied his face and held her up.
Chen Chen jumped down from his body right away. “I’m so hungry! So hungry!”
Seeing the little woman run even faster than a rabbit, there was a gentle smile in Jiang Rui’s eyes. Ah! How could she be so cute… Thinking about how ironic his daughter was, he felt unsatisfied. Although Tuan Zi looked like him, her characters and tone were like his brother-in-law.
“Brother Xiao Rui! Brother Xiao Rui!” Chen Chen ran in hurriedly.
Jiang Rui held her. “Why do you run so fast? What if you fall?”
“Tuan Zi… Tuan Zi is missing.” Chen Chen ran to ask Tuan Zi to go out but only to find no one in her daughter’s room. Even Hei Zi was gone.
Jiang Rui held her. “In the early morning, Wen Zeyu took her out.”
“Where did they go?”
“To swim in the Children’s Palace.”
Chen Chen suddenly caught him. “I didn’t have time to ask you yesterday. I know Tang Yue escaped. Will she hurt Tuan Zi?”
If she wanted to hurt Wan Qingsi, Tuan Zi and her were both the weakness of the Wan family.
“She wouldn’t have that chance.” Scar had told him about it through the phone. He thought the little woman forgot it after a night’s sleep.
Seeing Chen Chen still worrying, Jiang Rui put on the shoes for her. “The bodyguards of Wen family in our country can’t be easily defeated. They’ll protect Wen Zeyu and Tuan Zi the whole way. Don’t worry.”
In fact, Jiang Rui was pretty disdainful to the bodyguards in the Wen family, but he believed in Tuan Zi. Tuan Zi would know how to react when danger came near. Then he felt unsatisfied with the Wen family. When Wen Zeyu was with Tuan Zi, he would benefit from this relationship.
After the weekend, Jiang Rui became busy again. The exercise was in the final stage. It was June, and Chen Chen’s pain recovered. So she happily went to the hospital.
“Congratulations!” She gave the flowers to Zhou Yiyun.
Zhou Yiyun took it over smilingly. “Thank you!”
Her right arm was still wrapped in bandage but the bone had already recovered. But it would take at least three months for her to move. As it was meant to be like that, she was not worried. She just treated it as a vacation.
“Have you all packed up?” Scar walked in. “I’ve finished all the formalities. We can leave once you get all packed.”
Chen Chen saw Scar held Zhou Yiyun naturally. She blinked and threw an ambiguous eye to Zhou Yiyun.
Zhou Yiyun lowered her head smilingly.
For the whole month, Scar was extremely caring for her. They were both bored in the room, so the topic of their chat changed from some irrelevant things to their personal experience.
One day, she subconsciously mentioned the black sesame paste which her mother used to cook for her when she was still alive. She said it was the best food she had ever had. As a result, the next day she woke up, the table was filled with dozens of bowls of sesame paste.
“Have a try and see which one is most likely to those your mother made.”
These sesame pastes were from different restaurants and dessert shops and she knew the labels on them. Some were in the South City while the others were in the North City. It must have taken him more than two hours on the way.
“Are, are those delivered?”
Scar pa.s.sed her the spoon. “I bought them. Have a try.”
That day, the sesame paste she had was even more delicious than those her mother made…
But Zhou Yiyun knew she didn’t deserve Scar.
