An Exclusive love-Chapter 421 - Back to the Wan Family
Chen Chen was terrified by the voice while Jiang Rui kept holding her hands. Noticing this, he held her in his arms and asked, “Are you afraid?”
“Not at all.”
“So what did you tremble for…” Holding back his laughter, he turned to greet the guests. “I thought you were dismissed and he took your place.”
Liu Yizhou’s face turned to one of horror. “Captain, I…”
“Shut up!” A sloppy uncle with whiskers gave him a stare. “Who let you arrest people?”
“The Lu family came to me in the morning and I deemed it emergent since it was a life-and-death matter. So I just wanted…”
Faced with Jiang Rui’s sneer by the side, Gu Haibo felt embarrassed, so he got mad. “So you wanted what? You wanted what? Do you have any idea who he is? What does the Lu family mean? Do you have brain damage?”
Being scolded by him, words escaped Liu Yizhou’s tongue. “Captain, you can’t cover for him just because of his military exploits!”
“Bullshit.” Gu Haibo pointed at him and continued, “Get lost… I don’t want to see you. I have to warn you that I have the final say as long as I’m not dead. You’d better hide your petty tricks and jealousy or you’ll have to go back to being a new recruit!”
Liu Yizhou’s face turned red and white after being rebuked by Liu Yizhou, so he sent a stare at Jiang Rui and went away.
“Haha, since you’ve come, stay and have dinner with me. Let’s go.” Gu Haibo patted Jiang Rui on the shoulder and made a face at Chen Chen. “Is this the sister? You didn’t inform me about your wedding. I’ll make up for the wedding gift later!”
Chen Chen wanted to say that they didn’t get married, but Jiang Rui stopped her. “Let’s go. We’re so weary after this morning. You must be hungry.”
During lunch, Xiao Si arrived.
“Liuliu, you can go back home first. I have something to talk about with Captain Gu.”
Seeing Chen Chen looking at him in doubt, Gu Haibo was amused. “Sister seems to hate to leave you! Don’t worry. I’ll send him back later.”
“I’ll be fine! Honey, you go back first.” Seeing her flushed, Jiang Rui’s voice became softer. “I’m a friend of Captain Gu, he won’t lock me up.”
“If you don’t return home in the evening, I’ll come for you.” Chen Chen was worried that Jiang Rui would admit to the crime for her.
Jiang Rui nodded and walk her to the car in person.
Chen Chen picked up Tuan Zi from school on the way, but Wen Zeyu was disappointed by her appearance.
“Aunt, when will Tuan Zi move into my house?”
“You can come to our home and play with Tuan Zi.” Chen Chen felt sorry because they had bothered the Wen family some time ago. However, the little boy looked at her with his twinkling eyes and asked, “Can I come today?”
Chen Chen went silent for a while, but said at once, “That’s fine, but is it okay if you don’t go home?”
The driver who would pick up Wen Zeyu said considerately, “Then thank you for the trouble, Mrs. Jiang. I’ll pick up the young master later.”
“All right!” Chen Chen felt cool about it. “Get in the car. We’ll eat something first!”
When Xiao Si heard the driver call Chen Chen “Mrs. Jiang”, he was shocked. While he was driving, his eyes kept rolling.
“I say… Sister!” he suddenly said.
Chen Chen looked at him and asked, “What did you call me?”
Xiao Si said without any worry, “Now the public knows that you and my boss are a couple, so those people don’t dare to hurt you. But all in all, you didn’t hold a wedding ceremony. So we’ll call you ‘sister’ so we don’t arouse suspicions. In this way, people will call you ‘Mrs. Jiang’.”
“This… Isn’t this bad?” Chen Chen thought it too weird.
“Mom, what’s wrong with this?” Tuan Zi backed up Xiao Si and said, “They all already know that I’m daddy’s daughter, plus we live together. People might have long been thinking that you are a couple.”
Seeing Chen Chen hadn’t made up her mind yet, she decided to scare her. “Besides, now it has been said. If you don’t admit it, my dad will be punished.”
“Punished?” Chen Chen asked in shock, “Why?”
Xiao Si gave Tuan Zi a thumbs-up and said, “Sister, a military marriage should be treated seriously. He did this to save you, or he wouldn’t have dared to take the risk.”
Chen Chen nodded since it was clear that a military marriage was serious business. Given that Jiang Rui did this regardless of the punishment, she should cooperate with him.
“Fine! I see.” She clenched her fist and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t blow it.”
Tuan Zi and Xiao Si exchanged a look to celebrate their success.
However, Wen Zeyu questioned it in his mind. “Didn’t Uncle Jiang and Aunt Chen get married long ago?”
Chen Chen took the kids for hotpot so Xiao Si left after dropping them off, saying that Jiang Rui would arrive soon.
“Shall we wait for your daddy?” Chen Chen reckoned it improper to eat and drink while Jiang Rui was taking care of her issues.
The kids agreed to it and did their homework by the side.
Jiang Rui arrived after half an hour. When he stepped into the room and saw that they hadn’t started yet, he asked with a frown, “Why didn’t you start?”
“We wanted you to join us!” Chen Chen swallowed the tofu in her mouth sneakily.
“Hah, let’s eat!” Jiang Rui pretended to not see it and asked the waiter to turn on the fire.
Chen Chen was wondering how her issue was proceeding but Jiang Rui kept picking the food for her. “Eat first, we can talk about it when we get home!”
“Well!” Chen Chen curled her lips and said, “I want some meat.”
“OK!”
Watching Jiang Rui attending to Chen Chen, he looked at Tuan Zi, who buried herself eating the meat, and whispered to her, “I’m still too young to reach the pot. When I grow older, I’ll take care of you!”
“What if I grow taller than you?” Tuan Zi didn’t even raise her head.
She knew that Wen Zeyu liked her and the Wen family had taken her as the future daughter-in-law, which was said by Ying Qingcang on the phone.
“Tuan Zi, Grandpa had the confidence that you will handle the boy of the Wen family and you must marry him!”
If Tuan Zi married Wen Zeyu, Wen Pintang would be in a younger generation than Ying Qingcang. At the thought of Wen Pintang having to call Xin Qing “aunt”, Ying Qingcang was so excited.
Tuan Zi could fully comprehend all this, but she was cool with it. But if Wen Zeyu grew uglier, it would be disappointing.
“I’m telling you, if you grow up to be shorter than me, or you look less handsome than Uncle Wen, I won’t play with you.”
Hearing this, Wen Zeyu was terrified and turned pale.
After the meal, Wen Zeyu went back and found the family photo album, just to check out if there was somebody ugly in his family. Luckily, everyone was handsome, especially his dad. His mom was beautiful as well.
The little boy thought that he would not get uglier. As for his height… he would join the basketball team the next day.
He was not picky about food for a long while, which made his mother believe that he had become sensible. When she heard the whole thing from Tuan Zi accidentally, she then knew it and buried it in her heart with laughter, for she decided to make fun of him when he got older.
In Jiang Rui’s home, Chen Chen planned to talk with Jiang Rui after Tuan Zi fell asleep. However, she fell asleep with her daughter.
At the sight of the mother and child sleeping side by side, Jiang Rui felt contented and happy from the bottom of his heart. He even began to understand the reason why Xin Qing and Ying Qingcang stayed so close and didn’t divorce each under such tough conditions.
Some people would feel a sense of accomplishment when they possessed something. Now, he was among them, with a woman who could make him happy or sad and make up the emptiness inside his heart.
If someone dared to destroy his possessions or rob all this from him, he would definitely turn into a wild wolf and tear them to pieces.
“Good night!” He lowered his head and kissed Tuan Zi’s face and then sucked on Chen Chen’s lips for a few seconds. Then he left the room with a sweet smile.
When Chen Chen woke up in the morning, she found herself sleeping in Tuan Zi’s room, so she got up to wash her face with great regret. Since Jiang Rui had gone to the army, she wouldn’t learn the result of her business until dark.
But surprisingly, she found Jiang Rui reading the newspaper in the living room while Tuan Zi was playing with Hei Zi.
“You…”
“Why did they not go to work and school?”
“Mom, tomorrow will be New Year’s Day, so we got some days off.”
Chen Chen uttered an “ah”. “So soon?”
She originally planned to go back home, but now they encountered such problems, which made her forget the time.
“Hurry up and have your breakfast. The plane is already waiting for us.” Jiang Rui stood up and walked into the kitchen.
As darkness fell, the plane landed on the island of the Wan family.
Chen Chen saw her mother running over with a little dwarf from afar.
“Liuliu! Liuliu!”
“Aunt! Aunt!” The little boy ran even faster and rushed to hold Chen Chen’s leg. “I missed you so much. Did you miss me?”
Tuan Zi drew him away and said, “We don’t know you.”
Chen Huan lifted the child and introduce him to them. “This is the son of Aunt Ah Sha, named Wan Junhao.”
“Sister, Sister!” The little boy was not shy in front of strangers and he even went to hug Tuan Zi.
Hearing Chen Huan’s words, Tuan Zi reached out to him. Tuan Zi was only two years older than him. They hugged each other while shaking.
“Does Junjun remember me?” Chen Chen held him up in her arms. “Aunt had only seen you in your photo!”
The little child kissed her on the cheek and saw the dark-faced Jiang Rui behind her.
Jiang Rui saw the complacency in his eyes and now grinned at him.
“He saw you in the photos and knew that he has an aunt. Now that he heard you would come, he specially came here from S City to see you.” Chen Huan knew that the little boy began to coax Chen Chen.
“Put him down. He’s too heavy.” Jiang Rui glanced at Junjun and said, “Who gave his name? It’s terrible.”
Junjun opened his eyes wide and curled his lips, almost ready to cry. Jiang Rui lifted the corner of his lip and said, “Sissy.”
“Brother Xiao Rui!” Chen Chen looked at him discontentedly. “You’ll make him cry!”
Chen Huan bit her lips and said, “Give him to me.”
“I’ll take him!” Tuan Zi reached out to him. “Junjun!”
The little boy gave her a glance and held out his hand to walk ahead with her.
“Don’t make my dad angry or he’ll teach you a lesson,” Tuan Zi said suddenly while Junjun didn’t take in her words with wide-open eyes.
Tuan Zi laughed and said, “Stop being so pretentious. You must have failed to win Aunt Ah Sha’s favor against my uncle so you went to annoy my dad.” She pinched his little cheek. “Should I call you silly? My dad’s the most powerful one in my family. I don’t imagine you’re smart, for I can see through you in a second!”
Now, the child stopped pretending and squinted his eyes. “I heard your IQ is up to 210?”
“I don’t even need to use my IQ to beat you.” Tuan Zi gave him a disdainful glance.
