An Exclusive love-Chapter 384 - I Like You, So What?
Soon, the media reported about Chen Chen’s injury and Bai Weirong naturally became the criminal. That kind of news was not shown in the newspaper in the past, but it was different at the moment. The victim was the wife of an officer. Even if the Bai family wanted to cover the news, it would be decided by the press.
Only after a night Jiang Rui became the winner. The army sent for someone to write the sequel. It said that Officer Jiang was devoted to his wife and couldn’t have had any relations with Lu Qi, all of which implied that Jiang Rui was not related to Lu Qi’s death.
“Dad, what should we do?” Bai Kai made a strong effort to comfort Bai Weirong and quickly went back home to ask for the next instructions.
Bai Li was writing with a brush on the xuan paper and gradually calmed down. “Tell Weirong to get out of the hospital. Tell her that we’ll send her abroad if she doesn’t behave herself. She has many other choices aside from Jiang Rui.”
Bai Kai said helplessly, “Dad, you also know Weirong…”
“Nobody in the Bai family lives only for themselves. Through these years, she has been freer than others and now she should stick to her obligations.” Bai Li put down the brush and said, “I will arrange a proper marriage for her.”
“What about Jiang Rui?” Bai Kai asked, “It became so serious only because of a bump. It’s obviously an underhanded move against us.”
Bai Li took up the xuan paper with only one character on it, which was Ren.
“So what? The one who fails has to suffer.”
Jiang Rui’s trick was not a very skilled one, but it was seen by so many doctors and nurses, so it had become a big deal. That time it was an injury. If Jiang Rui was fiercer and killed Chen Chen, blaming Bai Weirong for it, the Bai family would be unable to get out of the accusation.
“How is Ziqi now?” Bai Li felt a headache when he thought of that grandson. Just like the Jiang family, the Bai family had only one grandson. But Jiang Rui and Bai Ziqi were so different. Every time Jiang Min showed off about his grandson, Bai Li wanted to cover his mouth with socks.
Bai Kai said angrily, “I’ve met with them. So although he can’t get out, he won’t be tortured.”
“It may be good for him to see things inside.” Bai Li rubbed the spot between his eyebrows and said, “A soldier trained by Jiang Rui can be compared to three of others. If Ziqi had been more hard-working, I would have sent him to the army a long time ago.” Bai Li suddenly stopped. “You should think of a way to get a chance for him to be Jiang Rui’s new soldier next year.”
Bai Kai was shocked, “Dad, what do you mean? You want to let Ziqi follow Jiang Rui’s lead?”
“Why are you so nervous?” Bai Li pulled up his sleeves. “Jiang Rui’s soldiers are selected by himself every year and it won’t be easy for him to take Ziqi.”
“Dad!” Bai Kai was worried. “You really want to send Ziqi there. Can… can he stay alive there?”
Bai Li stared at him. “Do you think Jiang Rui will frame his own soldiers? Although he is kind of bad, he is a tough guy indeed. Do you think I’m willing to beg Jiang Min for this? You can’t teach your son well, so I have to find someone else to teach him.”
Bai Kai wanted to say something else when old master Bai said, “If Ziqi continues to act like this, the Bai family will be over…”
“I got it.”
The things in the Bai family were solved and Lu Qi’s case was investigated again. But Jiang Rui was not in a good mood.
Chen Chen got out of the hospital that day and she had stayed in the hospital for two days without exchanging a sentence with Jiang Rui.
That day, when Jiang Rui finished speaking, Chen Chen covered her face and hid herself in the bathroom. When she came out, her eyes were red, which was a clear sign that she had cried. Jiang Rui was very annoyed by that. He didn’t mean to make her cry; he just wanted to bother her.
“Dad, mum is really angry.” Tuan Zi pointed at the fish in her bowl. “She acts like this when she is really angry. She just doesn’t see you and ignores you.”
Jiang Rui set down the chopsticks. “You should eat fast. I’ll go and check on her.”
Chen Chen was eating lunch in the bedroom and turned her hip to him when he saw Jiang Rui walk in.
“When do you plan to talk to me?” Jiang Rui walked closer and sat next to her. “I didn’t make it up. I was just telling the truth. Besides, I didn’t mean to blame you.”
Chen Chen looked at him. “Haha, then I have to thank you for it. I secretly watched you bathing and you generously forgave me.”
Having heard her strange and unkind words, Jiang Rui said, “You didn’t do it on purpose. You weren’t conscious.”
“Have you finished?” Chen Chen asked.
Jiang Rui nodded.
Chen Chen pointed at the door and said, “Then you can go out. I have to eat now.”
“What on earth do you want?” Jiang Rui held her hand and was about to let out his anger when he saw the tears in her eyes. The tears rolled down her cheeks after her body was shook by him.
Chen Chen jumped up and got on him, “What do I want? What do I want? You humiliated me in front of so many people and you ask me what I want.” She rode on Jiang Rui’s waist and hit him hard.
Jiang Rui stopped for a second and came to himself when the soft feeling got into his arms. He wanted to catch Chen Chen’s arms and was afraid it might hurt her. So he just blocked his face with his arms with a little effort. He was afraid that she might hurt herself.
“You just know how to bully me. You not only say I’m stupid, but insult me and humiliate me in front of others.” Chen Chen continued to be out of control. Jiang Rui frowned. “I didn’t insult you.”
Chen Chen punched him on the chest with her fist, “You did!”
The little girl in his arms had a flushed face with tears. Her eyes were wide open and shining brightly as she glared at him.
She was beautiful enough to feast the eyes. Those words appeared in Jiang Rui’s brain. Then he covered Chen Chen with his body as Chen Chen’s screamed.
“Sorry.”
Chen Chen who was about to continue scolding was left in a blank. “You… what did you say?”
“I said I was sorry.” Jiang Rui saw her stupid face with her mouth open and couldn’t control himself anymore. He lowered his head and kissed her.
Chen Chen just allowed the man get her mouth open and her tongue was tangled. She blinked her eyes.
Jiang Rui sucked her lips and said in a raucous tone, “Close your eyes, please!”
Chen Chen was poisoned by those gentle eyes and slowly closed hers.
Her tongue felt pain and was gradually numbed, then her breath became ragged. She felt little stars filling her brain and her hands were somehow on the man’s neck.
“Huh…” On hearing a gasp, Jiang Rui suddenly left her lips and tightly held the woman in his arms.
Chen Chen felt something pointing against her and she twisted her body instinctively.
“Don’t move.” Jiang Rui pressed on her hip, “Unless you want to be eaten by me right now.”
He lowered his head and met Chen Chen’s eyes. Her ashamed, shy and guilty eyes pleased him.
Yes, there was no regret nor detest.
Jiang Rui kissed her lips again with satisfaction and said, “I like you.”
The woman in his arms froze. Jiang Rui continued, “So you have to like me too.”
“Hey, did you ask me here to look at how you stare blankly?” Ah Zi felt bored and rolled on the sofa. She continued, “I read on the newspaper that your brain was hurt by your rival in love. Is it true?”
Chen Chen held the pillow and crouched on an end of the couch with her mind filled with the sentence Jiang Rui said, which was ‘I like you’…
“Hey, tell me now. Or I’ll go out to play with Tuan Zi!” Ah Zi kicked and suddenly got close to her. “You didn’t get eaten, did you?” She made a move which was like taking her clothes off.
Then she saw Chen Chen’s red face.
“Wow, were you really eaten up?” Ah Zi jumped up excitedly, “Who made the first move? It had to be you!”
Chen Chen caught her, “What are you screaming? It’s nothing like that.” She hesitated and opened her mouth, “He said he likes me.”
“What?” Ah Zi calmed down, “The God of War expressed his love to you?”
“He said he likes me and that I had to like him too.”
Ah Zi clapped her hands, “He is the God of War without a doubt. He is so mighty even when expressing love!”
“Wait a minute. He said like, not love?”
Chen Chen nodded blankly. “Yes.”
“It is so easy to fool you.” Ah Zi despised her. “Haven’t you watched the TV? Those saying love can change at any moment.”
“Re… really?” Chen Chen’s emotional construction which had taken her quite a while was completely destroyed. “You mean he is not serious?”
Ah Zi seemed to have a lot of experience and taught her. “It will be sure until he says he’s in love with you.” She brought her hands to her chest and said, “The God of War must be one of those who will stick to his love till his death once he says it aloud. And when they die, the couple’s ashes will end up in the same box.”
“You mean along with an enemy’s…” Chen Chen trembled.
“Haha, you seem to be really happy!” Ah Zi pushed her. “I told you that you liked him, but you didn’t admit it.”
Chen Chen didn’t deny it. She had just thought it through. No woman could refuse a man like Jiang Rui when he was being gentle to her. If she didn’t like him, she wouldn’t let him kiss her and she wouldn’t naturally sleep in the same room with him.
As for the sleepwalk, Chen Chen secretly laughed about it. She definitely didn’t sleepwalk. The God of War couldn’t fool her about her waking up in bed every morning!
“So you have to work hard now.” Ah Zi continued to teach her, “And have him say that he loves you with a ring and propose to you.”
Chen Chen reminded her, “We’re already married.”
“That doesn’t count.” Ah Zi waved her hand and said, “Don’t you want to be in love? Normal girls want to be in a relationship.”
Being in love… Chen Chen never thought about it. If she hadn’t come across Jiang Rui by accident, she might still be outside with Tuan Zi! Besides, she felt that they had known each other for a long time, maybe for Tuan Zi’s sake.
A long-run married couple? Chen Chen covered her face.
“Wow, did you think of the God of War’s nude body? Just see how slutty you are!” Ah Zi patted her head, “Get your man done, bitch!”
At midnight, a helicopter slowly landed in the suburbs of the capital, then a foreign man with big dark glasses jumped in.
“You didn’t find it?” The man who was flying the aircraft had red hair, and he said happily, “I thought you would find something up there!”
The man with dark glasses was anxious. “There was a new kind of virus in that woman’s body, but it was very little and it couldn’t be detected. I dissected her whole body but it was in vain.”
“You should think about how to report this when we get back.”
The man with dark glasses suddenly smiled, “But at least, it can prove that the virus is a failure and will cause allergy. So it has to be stopped.”
“Yes, I wonder how long it will take to study it again…”
