An Exclusive love

That night, many people were destined to be sleepless while the others would sleep sound till the morning, such as Chen Chen.

“Ah!” The woman in bed stretched herself, rolled in bed and then sat up suddenly.

What was the deal? How did she come back? Why didn’t she remember anything at all… Looking around, she found it didn’t seem like a hotel or Jiang Rui’s house. It was a new place to her.

On a chair beside the bed was lounge wear with sheep patterns. What’s funnier was that even the hood had two sheep horn ornaments on top of them. Chen Chen got dressed and went to the washroom to get cleaned. There she found that the toothbrush and towel were new and unused.

After putting everything in order, she took a deep breath and pulled the door open. Outside the door was a long corridor which was covered with expensive-looking carpet. Chen Chen walked towards the stairs and gradually heard the bark of a dog and the laughter of a kid.

She rushed downstairs quickly. When she was halfway, Tuan Zi saw her.

“Mum? You are awake?”

Hei Zi barked, “Woof!”

Chen Chen saw Xin Qing sitting on the couch and peeling an apple when Tuan Zi and Hei Zi waited to eat in the roomy living room.

“Come, get down.” Xin Qing waved at her, and Chen Chen walked to eat by her side with a blank face. Xin Qing touched the back of her head, “Does it still hurt?”

Chen Chen shook her head instinctively and then she suddenly cried out, “Hurts so much!”

“Sorry, sorry.” Xin Qing quickly took back her hand, “It seems it must take a few more days to get well. What about your head? Does it hurt inside?”

Chen Chen finally understood. She lifted her hand to the back of her head and touched gently, then she found a lump there.

“I am injured?” She gazed and spurted out, “It must be the perverted Jiang Rui who did it!”

Puff… Xin Qing almost got choked by the apple.

“If it had been me, there would not have been a bump but a hole.” Jiang Rui held a bowl and came out of nowhere.

Tuan Zi sighed, “Mum, how could you say my father is a pervert in front of my grandma? Be careful of the relationship between you and my grandma.”

Chen Chen cried inside. She was shocked by how stupid she was.

“Nothing will be wrong!” Xin Qing said smilingly, “Chen Chen, do remember, whatever happens, I’ll always be by your side. If Jiang Rui hurts you, I’ll beat him for you. If you hurt him, I’ll also beat him for you!”

A good mother-in-law of Huaxia…

Chen Chen held Xin Qing’s hand and said, “Then how did I get hurt?”

“Take the medicine first.” Jiang Rui passed her a bowl which was full of something dark.

“What is it?” Chen Chen covered her nose and got away. Xin Qing took it for her, “Come here. This is the medicine given by the military doctors. It is much more effective than those western medicines. Just take it.”

Chen Chen pinched her nose and took a dip. Then she almost vomited, “Wow, are you sure it’s a military doctor, not a vet?”

“A vet is perfect for you.” Jiang Rui looked at her and continued, “If you don’t take the medicine on time, you will get a tumor in your brain and become more stupid.”

Seeing that Chen Chen was still unwilling to take it, Tuan Zi took the box on the table, “Mum, if you drink it up, I will give you plum candies as a treat!” She showed the candies in her hand, and Hei Zi took the chance to jump up to lick it.

To set a good example for her daughter, Chen Chen drank it up in one time and it was so bitter that she almost couldn’t hold back the tears. Then she quickly took the plum candy in Tuan Zi’s hand and threw it into her own mouth.

“Chen… Chen Chen…” Xin Qing was still holding a plum candy which she didn’t have time to give to her, “That one has been licked by Hei Zi.”

Pah, pah, pah… Chen Chen started to vomit again. Jiang Rui shook his head and said, “Mum, you see, I think she might have picked up Tuan Zi outside.”

Chen Chen stared at Jiang Rui furiously. Xin Qing helped her immediately, “Bullshit, Tuan Zi looked exactly like Chen Chen. They are both so beautiful. She must be born by Chen Chen!”

Ying Cheng rubbed his eyes and walked down from upstairs, “Mum, how did you see that? Tuan Zi looked just like my brother.”

“If your mother says they look alike, they are alike. You are not qualified to say anything about it.” Ying Qingcang went in with a insulation can in his hand.

Ying Cheng quickly jumped downstairs with a few steps, “Tut! A roasted duck!”

Ying Qingcang kicked him and said, “You can go out to eat it yourself.”

Xin Qing pulled Chen Chen up and said, “Let’s go to the restaurant to eat!”

“Auntie… no, mum!” Seeing Xin Qing’s stare, Chen Chen quickly changed her tone, “Father is so nice to you. It is snowing outside but he went so far to buy roasted duck for you.”

“Hurry up, or it will get cold soon.” Xin Qing made a pack of roasted duck for her and Ying Qingcang also made one to put into Xin Qing’s mouth.

Tuan Zi was learning to roll when Jiang Rui put one into her bowl and said, “Don’t give it to Hei Zi. It’s too oily.”

Hei Zi jumped on the other side with shiny eyes. When it saw Tuan Zi put the duck into her mouth, it became unhappy and rubbed itself against Tuan Zi’s leg.

“Such a poor thing. Let’s give it a piece?” Xin Qing felt sorry for Hei Zi’s poor expression. Chen Chen nodded too, “It won’t matter if it just has one bite.”

Xin Qing picked a slice up and was about to feed Hei Zi. Hei Zi shook its tail hard and was about to open its mouth for it. However, an icy gaze landed on it.

Ying Qingcang thought if you dared to let my woman feed you, I would cut your head off.

Jiang Rui thought if you didn’t follow my instructions, I would castrate you.

“Boohoo…” Hei Zi rolled on the ground and ran away.

Having eaten up the duck, Xin Qing started the decoration of the room with Chen Chen and Tuan Zi. Ying Qingcang was right there by Xin Qing’s side. When she needed a paper-cut, he would pass one for her. When she wanted the character of Fu, he would pick a good-looking one for her.

And Jiang Rui had to go back to his own house. Bear and the other fellows were waiting for him.

“Master, have you read the newspaper?”

Jiang Rui took it over and glimpsed at it, “How did the Lu family react?”

“Lu Qi was back and Zhou He has also been picked up by Lu Youwei.” Bear revealed a mysterious smile, “But, Lu Tao has been seeing a woman in the hotel.” He rubbed his hands, “Guess who?”

“Lu Youwei’s mistress.” Jiang Rui threw away the newspaper, “He’s enough of ferocity but lacks intelligence.”

Bear laughed out, “I wonder if Lu Youwei will be pissed off when he knows.”

“Keep an eye on his son outside. He will be Lu Tao’s next goal.” Jiang Rui tapped on the table, “As for Lu Qi, if the Ministry of Security can act faster, they can still reap something.”

Suddenly, Xiao Si rushed in, “Master, Lu Qi is missing.”

Jiang Rui lifted his lips, “Find out if there has been a private jet entry.” After he finished his words, his mobile phone rang. He picked it up and said, “Wen Pintang, you are one step faster than me again.”

Something was said on the other side of the phone. Jiang Rui faintly replied with “Got it.” and hung up.

“All right, you don’t have to investigate any more.” He wrote an address, “Go and watch there.”

Xiao Si took it over to look. When he was about to leave, Jiang Rui added, “Don’t take any action. If you get caught… run.”

“Master?” Xiao Si opened his mouth in shock. Jiang Rui waved his hand before he could ask, “Just go. This is an order.”

Having got everything ready, Jiang Rui was about to go back to the Ying family’s place when he got a call from Jiang Qianren.

“What are you doing?” Jiang Qianren shouted at him, “You should see what is on the newspaper.”

Jiang Rui took the phone a bit further, “Do you believe it?”

“It doesn’t matter whether I believe it or not. The old bastard in the Lu family called your grandpa this morning. You’re supposed to go back and explain.”

“I’ll go back on the first day of the New Year.”

Jiang Qianren asked right away, “Aren’t you going to take Tuan Zi back tomorrow?”

“No, I’ll be with my mother.” Jiang Rui tipped his lips. Another shout came from the other side of the phone, “Damn it, Jiang Rui! You haven’t told me that Xin Qing is here?”

Jiang Rui laughed, “You didn’t care about it. Wen Pintang knew it the day she was here.”

“Fuck!” Jiang Qianren hung up the phone.

As expected, when Jiang Rui returned to the Ying family, Jiang Qianren was already there.

Ying Qingcang coldly looked at him, “You told him?”

“Hey!” Jiang Qianren was annoyed, “Tell me what happened? Ah Qing has the right to make friends. You will make her run away from home if you keep controlling her like that.”

Xin Qing dragged Jiang Rui to sit down, “Forget about your dad. Have you put an end to all things?”

“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.” Jiang Rui patted her hand.

“You think I’m blind!” Xin Qing stared at him, “It is in the newspaper that you are seeing a miss in the Lu family secretly in the hotel.”

Jiang Rui smiled and didn’t explain. He glanced at Chen Chen who was pretending to be invisible in the corner and smiled even brighter, “Are you dumb?”

Chen Chen took a look at him and then at Tuan Zi. Tuan Zi gave the latter an encouraging look.

“Sorry…” She was depressed, “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been confused and followed her, you wouldn’t have been tricked.” Ying Cheng had already told her about what happened yesterday. And she knew the whole thing after she read the newspaper.

What was more troublesome was that if Jiang Rui would actually marry Lu Qi, then where should Tuan Zi go…

“It’s not your fault! You don’t have to apologize!” Xin Qing felt so sorry for her that she cuddled her and patted on her shoulder. Then she stared at Jiang Rui and quietly moved his lips, “Give her some sweet talk.”

Jiang Rui leaned against the sofa and asked her, “Then how do you plan to amend my loss in reputation?”

“I…” Chen Chen hurriedly looked at Tuan Zi and made her decision, “I can’t leave Tuan Zi. So if you want to marry Lu Qi, I can sign for the divorce and leave with Tuan Zi.”

Jiang Rui’s face turned dark all of a sudden. Even Xin Qing stared at Chen Chen speechlessly.

“I’ve told you that Tuan Zi is my daughter and can only live with me.” The sentence was like a death penalty to Chen Chen. Even Jiang Qianren couldn’t stand the situation and shouted, “Why did you scare Chen Chen? Are you a man or not?”

He said to Chen Chen, “Don’t worry. Lu Qi has disappeared and may not come back again.”

Disappeared? Chen Chen felt happy inside and then she erased that feeling and tried to pretend that she was not that happy. However, her expression got much more crooked.

“If you want to laugh, you can.” Jiang Rui lifted his lips, “You are just like that.”

Chen Chen glared at him angrily and then her eyes shone. Maybe it’s because Jiang Rui didn’t want to take responsibility and kidnapped her.

“Don’t fill your stupid brain with stupid ideas.” Jiang Rui looked at her expression and knew she was scolding him inside, “Even you can’t do such a stupid thing.”

As a result, a few hours later, there was news on the TV which said the disappearance of the miss in the Lu family was related to Jiang Rui. He secretly abducted Lu Qi because he didn’t want to take responsibility. Lu Qi might be fraught with grim possibilities.
