An Exclusive love

When Chen Rui returned, Chen Chen was watching TV with Tuan Zi on the sofa.

“How’s it going?” Chen Chen stared at him as he came in.

“Let’s have dinner first!” Jiang Rui rolled up his sleeves and entered the kitchen.

Tuan Zi looked at her mother, as if saying, “You are really happy.” “I heard on TV that you should just marry a man who cooks for you!”

“What nonsense?” Chen Chen poked her head. “Brother Xiao Rui will be angry if he hears you saying that.”

Tuan Zi called Xin Qing while Chen Chen was sleeping. She first told Xin Qing, in an exaggerated way, that Chen Chen was slapped, and was currently waiting for a ruling. In case that Bai Weirong’s baby was gone, Chen Chen had to prepare herself for a lawsuit.

Then she added, “Grandma, I think I can remind Mom that Dad likes her.”

“Wasn’t it agreed not to mention it?” Xin Qing was considering how to tell Boss Wan that his daughter was bullied, without paying attention to Tuan Zi’s meaning.

Tuan Zi answered, “But now my mother never thinks that Dad may like her. No matter what my father does, she thinks that he is taking care of her as his sister, for the sake of the relations between our two families.”

“What if she’s scared and runs away?” Xin Qing said with worry.

“So she should hear that from me. I’m just a kid!” Tuan Zi said naturally and confidently, “More or less, my words will help.”

Tuan Zi decided to reveal the truth since Chen Chen was frightened an out of sorts.

“You can see that Dad is anxious this time.” Tuan Zi looked at her seriously. “No, I should say that Dad will care about anything related to you!”

Sure enough, Chen Chen said, “Of course, for the sake of the relations between our two families!”

“Mom…” Tuan Zi lay in her arms. “You don’t feel that Dad likes you, at all?”

“Oh my God!” Chen Chen smiled while patting on the sofa. “You’re just a little kid. What do you know? Go away!”

Tuan Zi clung on to her. “Mom, I think Dad likes you.”

Seeing Chen Chen still intent on laughing, she pouted. “Think about Dad’s usual attitude towards you.” Then she rolled her eyes and decided to give away a shocking news. “One morning, I saw Dad kiss you!”

“Kiss… Kiss… Kiss who?” Chen Chen stammered.

Tuan Zi said with a smile. “Kiss you! I saw Dad kiss you while you were asleep.”

“Really?” Chen Chen asked in a daze. Seeing her daughter nod hard, she suddenly became agitated. “That’s too much! How could he kiss me while I’m asleep?”

“Do you mean that I should kiss you when you’re awake?” Someone suddenly interjected.

Chen Chen failed to realize who was talking, saying angrily, “Yeah, how could I respond to his kiss when I’m asleep?”

“I got it. Next time, I will definitely kiss you when you are awake.” The person continued with a smile, “Now, go wash your hands and have dinner!”

“Tuan Zi, is… your dad talking?” Chen Chen blushed, looking at her daughter and expecting her to say no. But Tuan Zi’s nodding deprived her of hope.

She rushed into the room, covering her face, and slammed the door shut.

“Dad, was I rushing things?” Tuan Zi was a little depressed.

Jiang Rui touched her head. “Well done! Dad must thank you. Let’s have dinner first. I’ll see her now.”

Chen Chen was hiding in the bathroom and scolding herself in the mirror.

“You are so stupid. Why are you so slow in reacting?” She looked at her lips, and thinking that Jiang Rui might have kissed her, she shouted impatiently. “You have focused on the wrong thing! It’s not whether you’re awake or asleep, but how could he kiss you casually?”

“I didn’t kiss you casually. I was very serious.” Jiang Rui pushed open the door and looked at her as he curled a corner of his mouth.

Chen Chen was frightened to hear that. “Brother… Brother Xiao Rui…”

“Just kidding!” Jiang Rui touched her head. “Don’t think about it. Come out and have dinner.”

“Haha… Haha…” Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, then smirked. “I knew it was not possible!”

Jiang Rui nodded, pulled her out, and said lightly, “Yeah, if I want to kiss you, I will definitely do it when you’re awake.”

She just felt relieved, but then she was shocked again. In a daze, Chen Chen was pulled out by the man, and what she was thinking was “kiss you”…

That incident made her forget something unpleasant that had happened before. After the dinner, she suddenly remembered that.

“Brother Xiao Rui… Xiao Rui…” She looked somewhat awkwardly at the man washing the dishes, “Her baby…”

Jiang Rui paused and said, “Go out first. I’ll tell you later.”

“Yeah.” Chen Chen left with her head down and felt sad again. It seemed that the baby was surely gone.

After a while, Jiang Rui came out with a plate of strawberries. “Eat some!”

Chen Chen glanced at him and lowered her head again.

“Bai Weirong had a miscarriage.” After finishing his words, he saw Chen Chen tremble obviously. “Alas, you still don’t believe me. I said it had nothing to do with you.”

“But how could it be possible?” Chen Chen said, almost inaudibly.

Jiang Rui poked her head. “Do you remember the waiter who poured wine on you this afternoon?”

Chen Chen nodded. “Yeah.”

“Someone bought him over. He did it on purpose.”

What? Chen Chen looked up and asked, “On purpose? Why?”

“To make it possible for you to clash with Bai Weirong.” Jiang Rui looked at her. “Someone wanted to frame you.”

Chen Chen thought for a while, but still failed to understand. “But how could he know that I would quarrel with Bai Weirong and even push her down to the ground?”

“We have to wait for the answer for some time.” Jiang Rui handed her a strawberry. “I have asked Hua Tuo to make an investigation. He will make a phone call later.”

In order to wait for the call, Chen Chen had been absently watching TV in the living room. After Tuan Zi fell asleep, Jiang Rui sat down beside her. “You can go to sleep now, and I will tell you the result tomorrow.”

“I have slept for a long time in the afternoon, so I’m not sleepy now.” Chen Chen rubbed her eyes, asking, “He will make a phone call soon, right?”

Jiang Rui looked at his watch, and it was almost eleven. Suddenly, his phone buzzed. Chen Chen excitedly got close to the phone, but could not hear anything.

“I see.” Hanging up and looking at his lady who looked anxious, Jiang Rui said with a smile, “Even if you didn’t quarrel with Bai Weirong, she would have a miscarriage as long as you appeared there.”

Jiang Rui also wondered how the person could be sure that Bai Weirong would quarrel with Chen Chen. So he asked Hua Tuo to go to the hospital at midnight, who not only touched Bai Weirong’s wrist to feel her pulse but also drew a tube of blood for a blood test.

It was found that Bai Weirong had a lot of peach kernels in her body.

“Hua Tuo said that pregnant women must not eat peach kernels which could easily result in an abortion.” Jiang Rui said slowly, “Besides, she got agitated on seeing you, which expedited her abortion. So whether you pushed her or not, her baby would be gone.”

Chen Chen slumped onto the sofa and said, “It’s not me! It’s not me… Great!”

“It’s all right now. Go to bed.” Jiang Rui stood up, hesitating and saying, “Liuliu, there maybe someone using it as an excuse to do something these days. You have to remember not to care whatever they say or do.”

Glancing at the woman in a daze, he had the sudden urge to touch her face. Indeed, he could not help doing it, saying, “No matter what happens, I will be with you!”

Chen Chen roughly knew what Jiang Rui meant. Since there was someone trying to frame her, they would wait and see what would happen. Sure enough, two days later, when she was staying with Ah Zi in the laboratory, Xiao Si ran in while looking serious.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Chen was a little scared. “Has it started?”

Xiao Si nodded and comforted her. “Don’t be afraid. Boss will go along with you.”

“I’m not afraid. Brother Xiao Rui said that he would always be with me!” Although Chen Chen said so, her trembling hands still gave away her fear.

Ah Zi gave her a hug. “Be brave. Who are you? With the God of War, your father and your brother, what are you afraid of?”

Chen Chen gathered up the courage to leave with Xiao Si. As soon as she entered Jiang Rui’s office, she saw five or six strangers standing inside.

“Come here!” Jiang Rui beckoned her over.

A man glanced at Chen Chen and said, “Since she arrived, don’t waste time. Let’s go.”

Jiang Rui ignored him and buttoned up Chen Chen’s coat. “Why do you unbutton your coat?”

“Where are we going?” Chen Chen held Jiang Rui’s hand. “I don’t want to be separated from you.”

“You won’t!” Jiang Rui helped her wear the scarf. “Let’s go.”

The leader sneered. “Doesn’t Chief Jiang know the rule that she has to be separated from you?”

Chen Chen panicked, and Jiang Rui held her shoulder. “Don’t you believe me again?”

“Yes, I Believe!” Chen Chen put her hand in his palm. “Let’s go!”

Looking at the two people walk in front of him, Liu Yizhou was envious while gloating over their situation. That morning, they had received a report from the Lu family, who accused Jiang Rui’s wife of murdering the unborn baby of the new daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

The daughter-in-law of the Lu family was just the daughter of the Bai family, wasn’t she? Liu Yizhou went directly to arrest Chen Chen without even making a report.

Jiang Rui and he were recruited into the army at the same year. He failed to be chosen for receiving training in the United States; he always thought that it was because the Jiang family had bought over someone important. Later, he cursed Jiang Rui and wished he could die in the training. But, he did not expect Jiang Rui to return. Furthermore, he also made countless military achievements in just a few years, leaving him far behind.

“Humph, aren’t you the God of War? So what? Your wife and you will be taken away by me!” Liu Yizhou was so fearless because he believed that no matter how powerful the Jiang family was, it would not gain the upper hand when confronting the Bai family and the Lu family at the same time.

After more than an hour, Chen Chen was taken into another place similar to the army.

“Chief Jiang, you know the rules.” Liu Yizhou looked at them proudly. “Take Mrs. Jiang away!”

When Xiao Si went to Chen Chen, he told her that in order to stop her from being detained directly, they had announced to the outside world that she had married Jiang Rui. Chen Chen didn’t care about that. She promised Jiang Rui that she would listen to him.

“Try and touch her if you dare.” Jiang Rui curled the corner of his mouth, with the coldness in his gaze. “Rules are useless to me. Conceal your despicable thoughts. You are nothing to me.”

Liu Yizhou’s face clouded, and he was about to make a move when he heard a roar. “What the fuck are you doing?”
