An Exclusive love

Chen Chen wanted to run away from home but at that time, Ah Zi probably was still sleeping and Chen Chen couldn’t get in touch with her.

“He will crush me between his fingers.” She hid in her room and walked around. “But it was him who behaved like a hooligan.” She paid the price as well. Chen Chen grinned while she touched her swollen red lips.

Then there came a knock on the door. “Mom, the meal is ready!”

“I’m not hungry. You can eat first.” Chen Chen dared not to go out.

Two minutes later, Tuan Zi knocked again. “Mom, dad said if you don’t come, he will have a friendly talk with you!”

Chen Chen opened the door abruptly, seeing a girl and a dog both looking at her.

“Mom, why are your lips bleeding?”

“Bowwow!”

Chen Chen cast a glance at Hei Zi and said, “What makes you bark? It’s like that you can understand everything.”

“Ooh ooh…” Hei Zi wagged its tail.

Jiang Rui’s voice came from the dining room. “The soup is getting cold.”

Chen Chen bit the bullet and walked out, and sat down, without looking sideways.

“Tuan Zi, go and turn on the TV.” Jiang Rui sat down and gave Chen Chen a glance. “You don’t have to put an air as if you will die a martyr’s death. I won’t crush you.”

On hearing the man’s words, Chen Chen raised the chopsticks shakily, nearly to pick a piece of ginger.

“Mom, dad has kissed you and you will be a close couple!” Tuan Zi sat on the chair looking at Jiang Rui happily and then Chen Chen. “So nice!”

“What are you talking about?” Chen Chen tried to cover Tuan Zi’s mouth in panic.

But Tuan Zi pushed her away and said, “Of course, I know. Your lips were bitten by dad! Am I right?”

“Yeah, right.”

Chen Chen wide opened her eyes which were fixing on Jiang Rui. She did not expect that the man was so shameless that he admitted it.

“Okay, hurry, it’s really getting cold.” Jiang Rui pushed the bowl of soup to Tuan Zi and filled another bowl for Chen Chen.

Taking over the bowl, an idea suddenly hit Chen Chen. “He decided to be nice to me just because he kissed me? So if next time the kiss lasts longer, would he be even nicer to me?”

But the idea was suppressed by her as soon as it first came to her mind. Bah, bah, bah! Impossible…

“Eh, is that man the uncle who had visited us before?” Tuan Zi pointed at the TV screen on which the news was playing. Lu Tao, with a bandage on his head, was interviewed by journalists in a wheelchair.

Chen Chen heard one journalist ask him, “Mr. Lu, what’s your opinion on this accident? Do you suspect that it was a conspiracy against someone?”

“I don’t know. But my car had been checked and fixed the other day so the brake failure was indeed strange.” Lu Tao said with a painful look, “anyway, I hope my father will be out of danger soon…”

Seeing that Jiang Rui was still slowly picking food to eat, Chen Chen could not help but remark, “The Lu family has a car accident.”

“I’ve heard it.”

“Will they blame it on you?” Chen Chen made a gesture to pull the brake.

Jiang Rui darted a glance at her and said, “Probably.”

“How shameless!” Chen Chen pounded the table and said, “though you can’t be counted as a faithful and upright man, you are at least a soldier of the people. How can they frame you up?”

“Mom.” Tuan Zi blinked and added, “you dare to diss dad!”

Chen Chen made a gesture, poised to beat her. “Don’t disclose my little scheme.”

Jiang Rui curled his lips and soon his face turned cold. “It’s might be my deed!”

“Impossible.” Chen Chen shook her head and said, “you don’t bother to use such troublesome means. You would rather shoot him immediately.”

Jiang Rui pulled his lip corners and admitted her opinion was right.

“By the way, I have something else to tell you.” Because Jiang Rui did not kill her for that slap, Chen Chen decided to confess to him about Ah Zi.

Jiang Rui leaned forward and said, “Say it.”

“My best friend is coming to the capital and she will visit us. Meet her. She worships you so much!” Chen Chen wanted to add some nice words for Ah Zi but when she was going to describe their deep friendship in a dramatic manner, the man said, “Fine!”

…

“Ah?”

“Why?” Jiang Rui asked in wonder. “She can come as she likes and we can take her out for dinner.”

Chen Chen swallowed a mouthful of soup. “No, nothing! Can Bear pick her up tomorrow?”

“I’ll call him after a while.”

Tuan Zi interrupted by the side, “Aunt Ah Zi is coming?”

“Yeah!” Chen Chen pinched her face. “Are you happy?”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah.” Tuan Zi grinned and introduced to Jiang Rui, “she was the only friend of mom.”

Jiang Rui nodded his head. “Well, it’s rare that someone wants to make friends with her.”

Chen Chen was speechless.

The second day, Bear was sent to pick up Ah Zi who had decided to pull herself together.

“Jiang Rui, don’t be rude to me!” Chen Chen said. “Don’t make Ah Zi believe that you are bad to me or she will persuade me to run away from home.”

Hearing this when he was sitting on the sofa and watching TV, he raised his head and asked, “don’t I treat you nice?”

“When did you treat me nice?” But Chen Chen dared not to speak it out but had to nod. “Then treat me nicer!”

“I got it.”

Chen Chen never expected the man was so gentle to hear her finish her words and was about to be bitchy to asked him whether he had a bad sleep. Luckily, she was prevented by Tuan Zi in time.

Hearing a knock on the door, Chen Chen opened the door. A man and a woman showed before her, which was out of tune in her eyes.

Bear who was up to 1.9 meters and Ah Zi who was only higher than 1.5 meters.

“Wow, the Beauty and the Beast!” Tuan Zi said what she thought exactly.

Ah Zi rushed to Tuan Zi and hugged her, “Xiao Chen Zi, your face looks rosy and you are more delicate than a flower. Indeed, a woman nourished by love!”

“Eh-hem…” Chen Chen covered her mouth awkwardly. “What are you talking about!”

Ah Zi rushed to Tuan Zi and said, “Little sweetheart, do you miss me?”

“Yes, I do!” Tuan Zi embraced her and gave her a kiss. She then lifted Hei Zi and said, “This is Hei Zi. A police dog my dad had pick for me. It’s awesome!”

Bear by the side made a face and pointed at himself, so Tuan Zi immediately corrected herself, “Oh, it’s uncle Bear who pick Hei Zi for me.”

“Really!” Ah Zi poked Hei Zi’s head and remarked, “no wonder they take after each other. A bear-like look.”

Bear thought: “I was more handsome, OK?”

Hei Zi barked, “Bowwow!”

No one took notice of them.

Ah Zi looked into the living room with excitement. Then Jiang Rui came over slowly and put his hands around Chen Chen’s waist though he could sense her body stiffened. He smiled with pleasure and said, “Hello, welcome to the capital!”

“The War God!” Ah Zi’s eyes were lit up. “You look more handsome than your pictures!”

“Pictures?” Jiang Rui raised his eyebrows and asked on purpose, “my pictures are confidential. You can’t have seen it outside so where did you see it?”

Ah Zi fell in confusion for she could not admit that she had hacked in the national security department through her computer…

“Ah hah, I have shown your photos to Ah Zi!” Chen Chen tried to smooth it over.

“Yeah, yeah!” Ah Zi nodded and brought up something else. “Haaaiiiiiya, show me around!”

The two women walked away with each other’s arm on the shoulders. Tuan Zi pulled Jiang Rui’s sleeves and said, “dad, aunt Ah Zi is a nice person.”

Jiang Rui patted her head and said, “I know it. What do you want to eat?”

Ah Zi measured Chen Chen up and down for a while in the room. “Well, the War God must be really good to you.”

“You don’t get deceived by his look.” Chen Chen twitched her mouth and told her about how he had kissed her by force. “He’s a hooligan to the bones!”

Ah Zi looked at her with contempt. “Stop complaining you are unhappy since you already live with happiness. You can ask anyone on the street whether they will believe you have been kissed by the War God.”

“You mean it was I who kissed him by force, and people will believe that?” Chen Chen said with, unwilling to accept Ah Zi’s opinion.

“Of course!” Ah Zi poked her forehead. “Why don’t you have any crisis awareness?” She continued with a weird look, “haven’t you slept with him yet?”

Chen Chen covered her mouth and said, “Be quiet, I have nothing to do with him!”

Ah Zi shook her head. “You silly woman. Since you have moved in together, you should seize the chance. If another girl takes advantage of the chance, you will shed regretful tears!”

“No, I won’t,” Chen Chen said casually. “He doesn’t like other women.”

Ah Zi asked her closely, “How do you know? Did the War God confess his feelings to you? Ah! By the way,” Ah Zi clenched her fist and said, “he was trying to hold you in her arms. You are so amazing that he’s attracted by you!”

“Enough, enough!” Chen Chen interrupted her speech, “tell me something about you. Where do you live and how long do you plan to stay with me?”

“I won’t leave for a while.” Ah Zi held her arms and rubbed her. “I will ride on your coattails and you must take care of me!”

Chen Chen pushed her away and said, “I asked you where you live now.”

“An apartment in the same residential area as you, and the surroundings are good.”

“The man who saved you arranged it for you?” Chen Chen felt it unbelievable and asked, “Aren’t you afraid of him having some purpose?”

Ah Zi rolled her eyes and said, “Do you think I’m like you? I have talked with him on the phone. He said his surname was Wen and he knew the War God.”

“Wen? Wen Pintang?” Chen Chen thought it more complicated.

“Yes, the Wen family of the capital city won’t take any interest in such a nobody like me. Saving my life was a mere accident.” Ah Zi looked at her. “Mr. Wen had told the War God about me. Don’t you know it?”

Chen Chen gritted her teeth and said, “I… don’t… really… know…”

Jiang Rui was such a bastard. He was so pretentious since he knew beforehand that Ah Zi would come. Chen Chen punched the pillow which she took for Jiang Rui.

In order to welcome Ah Zi, Jiang Rui took them to a very high-class place to eat the meal where the chair was antique. It would be unavoidable to meet many people who they did not want to meet at all.

“Jiang Rui, Xuewei is still in the hospital, waiting for your apology. How can you eat a meal with women?” Bai Kai stared at those people indignantly.

Bear laughed and said, “Your daughter has only a few ribs broken. And now you plan to take her as a vegetable who can only spend her days on the patient bed?”

“Shut up,” Bai Kai said ferociously. “Don’t be so unscrupulous just because you got military men. The Lu family issue hasn’t been settled yet. You wait to be dismissed.” He paused so as to low down his voice as much as possible. “Jiang Rui, the Bai family could back you up as long as you go to the hospital to say sorry to Xuewei and divorce this woman.”

He did not notice the sarcastic look and went on, “as to your daughter, you don’t have to worry. The Bai family will take her as the granddaughter of mine and won’t mistreat her.”
