An Exclusive love

When Jiang Rui received Xin Qing’s call, he was overjoyed.

“It’s earlier than I expected. Great!” He had originally thought that he needed to first ask for her after returning at the end of the summer vacation, but did not expect…

Xin Qing warned him. “Before you get too excited about that, you should know that she’s still afraid of you. The fact that you love her doesn’t mean that she can therefore get over her fear. She rejects you, instinctively and unconsciously. So you must make more effort.”

“Okay, as long as she can stay with me, sooner or later I will make her fall in love with me again.” Jiang Rui never worried that Chen Chen would not love him. The drugs could control her memory, but could not remove him from her mind. Subconsciously, that girl surely did not want to forget him!

Jiang Rui asked for Xin Qing’s help. “Mom, sorry to trouble you. If possible, I want to go see her on the weekend.”

“Okay, just come here. I won’t ask for Liuliu’s opinion, or she’ll be nervous and afraid again.”

Before departure, Jiang Rui deliberately went to take a look at the store. Almost 60 percent of the decoration was fulfilled, and it would be able to open before National Day.

Early in the morning, Chen Chen thought that everyone was acting strange, especially Tuan Zi.

“Why are you so happy?”

“Because I’m in a good mood!” Tuan Zi squinted with laughter. Chen Chen looked at her with distrust, and then saw a person standing at the door.

She was stunned, pointing her finger at the person. Words failed her, and she could only scream. “Oh my God! You… You…”

“Dad!” Tuan Zi rushed over. “Woo-woo… I missed you so much.”

Jiang Rui picked up the little girl. “Good girl, Dad is here to take you home.”

“Where do you want to take Tuan Zi?” Chen Chen was eager but afraid to go over to him. Picking up a banana from the table and pointing it at him, Chen Chen said, “Freeze, or I’ll call my brother.”

“Liuliu!” Jiang Rui lowered his voice and tried to be as gentle as possible. “Don’t be nervous. I will not hurt you.”

Chen Chen looked at him. “Will you separate Tuan Zi from me?”

“No!”

“Will you arrest me?”

“No!”

“I’m Hei Feng…”

“I know!”

Chen Chen was silent.

Jiang Rui saw that she was not as agitated as before, so he slowly approached her. “Liuliu, I won’t hurt you. Try to believe me, OK?”

“I…”

“Xiao Rui!” Xin Qing’s voice came from the door. Chen Chen was startled, turning and running away.

Jiang Rui looked at her back and shook his head. Tuan Zi pulled his sleeve and said, “Dad, Mom will remember you!”

“Tuan Zi, don’t mention that in the future.” Jiang Rui touched her head. “Let’s start over, OK?”

“I understand!” Tuan Zi nodded. “Will you take us home this time?”

Jiang Rui thought about it and replied, “I’ll try. But if I cannot, Tuan Zi must stay with Mom. I promise you that I will take you home next month at the latest.”

“I made plans with Wen Zeyu to attend elementary school together.” Tuan Zi looked at him. “I can’t break my word.”

“You can rest assured that Dad will not let you be a liar.”

At lunch, Chen Chen refused to go out anyway, and finally, Ah Zi accompanied her to eat in her room. Jiang Rui was interrogated by the men from the Wan family.

“How are you dealing with the aftermath of the accident?” Wan Qingsi asked first, “How about the people who Liuliu has met before?”

Jiang Rui looked at him. “Now everyone in the capital knows that my wife was accidentally injured by a terrorist and was shot in the head. It’s uncertain when she will recover.”

“You can make decisions by yourself. But don’t let anyone who shouldn’t survive show up again, for fear that Liuliu will have doubts.” Wan Qingsi glanced at him and continued, “Also, don’t allow the women in your circle contact Liuliu. She can’t deal with them.”

Jiang Rui said seriously, “Basically, only one person is troublesome.”

“Song Chunli?” Xin Qing interjected. “The older your grandma gets, the more unreasonable she becomes.”

“She now blames my father’s death on me, and also I’m unwilling to marry the daughter of the Bai family according to her instructions. Therefore, she has been making trouble.” Jiang Rui paused, and said, “But now that she knows Liuliu’s identity, she should not dare to cause any trouble.”

Ying Qingcang snorted and said, “I’m afraid that she’ll feel more distressed. She always thinks that there is no difference between the Wan family and terrorists. Now that she knows that Liuliu comes from the Wan family, she must hate her even more.”

“If she does any harm to Liuliu, I won’t spare her life for your sake.” Boss Wan said coldly, “I’m warning you, don’t come on to Liuliu without my permission. If I find out that you’ve slept with her, I will bombard your troops.”

Jiang Rui frowned and asked, “What if Liuliu says yes?”

“No way!” Boss Wan’s face clouded over. “You must not cajole her into doing that.”

“OK, OK!” Tuan Zi raised her hand. “Grandpa, I will keep an eye on Dad. Don’t worry!” Then she winked at Jiang Rui when Boss Wan was not paying attention.

Hearing his warning, Chen Huan shook her head helplessly. “Sooner or later, Jiang Rui will have Liuliu as his woman, so what you care about is meaningless…”

It was not until after dinner that Jiang Rui told Tuan Zi to ask Chen Chen if she would like to talk to him.

Chen Chen was unable to refuse her daughter, so she reluctantly went to him and chose to have a talk in the living room, so that anyone passing by could see them.

“What do you want to say?” She sat on the sofa farthest from him.

Jiang Rui was helpless, but he didn’t dare to force her. “Liuliu, Tuan Zi will attend elementary school in September, so she has to take the entrance examination next month. Shall we go back to live in the capital?”

“Don’t you want to open a store?! I’ve gotten you a suitable store. You can go back earlier to see if you are satisfied with the decoration.” Jiang Rui blocked Chen Chen’s only way of staying. She didn’t expect that this man had finished with the matter so fast…

Chen Chen lowered her head while playing with her fingers. “You really don’t mind if I am Hei Feng?”

“You are just Liuliu in my heart!” Jiang Rui stood up and sat down beside her. “Liuliu, Auntie Chen has told you what happened in our childhood, right? Tuan Zi is our daughter; it’s you that decided to give birth to her, so you should be responsible for her, right?”

Jiang Rui’s persuasion did work. Chen Chen began to feel guilty. She had indeed taken his sperm without permission, so she could not deprive Jiang Rui of his right to be a father.

“Let… let me think about it.”

“How long?” Jiang Rui found that Chen Chen’s temperament didn’t change; she was always inclined to bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as she was not forced too hard, saying frightening words purposely would usually work.

Chen Chen rolled her eyes. “Three days?”

“OK!”

Chen Huan had begun to prepare for their departure. She packed various kinds of sophisticated small arms and taught Tuan Zi how to use them.

“I give you the best arms, and you must take them with you in the future. If someone bullies you, don’t hesitate to use them. People from the Wan family can only bully others, but can never be bullied!”

Ah Sha added, “If you can’t conquer them, find your father; if your father can’t either, call your Uncle Wan!”

Chen Chen sat in the corner and grumbled. “I haven’t decided whether or not to go back with him yet. What are you doing?”

“Didn’t you already make a decision?” Chen Huan poked her head. “It’s Okay. With us, Xiao Rui dares not do any harm to you!”

Tuan Zi looked at her and said, “Mom, I have already packed up.”

“Why do you pack up so soon?” Chen Chen pinched her face. “The exam will be taken next month, won’t it?”

“But Dad can’t stay here and wait for us all the time!” Tuan Zi’s expressions showed that she found her mom unreasonable. “Dad is a general. He is very busy!”

Chen Chen felt hurt, and she waved her hand and stood up. “I have to go back to my room.”

“Grandma, is Mom okay?” Tuan Zi asked worriedly, “Will she not go back with Dad?”

“Don’t worry!” Chen Huan said affirmatively, “Tomorrow I will pack up her belongings and take them directly onto the helicopter.”

After lunch the next day, Chen Chen was driven into the hall with her luggage.

“Go back early, or it will be midnight when you arrive.” Chen Huan took her hand. “Liuliu, listen to me. Xiao Rui will not bully you. Instead, he will protect you. Of course, if you are wronged, just call me and Mom will ask your brother to pick you up.”

Ah Sha waved goodbye with a smile. “Come back to see the baby on National Day!”

“I don’t want to leave.” Chen Chen clung to the sofa leg. “Dad, don’t let Brother Xiao Rui take me away!”

Boss Wan immediately stood in front of her. “Okay, I won’t.”

“Come here!” Chen Huan shouted. “Are you as unreasonable as her?”

Xin Qing pulled Boss Wan aside, and Ying Qingcang went out while twisting his arms.

After taking their luggage onto the helicopter, Jiang Rui returned to pick them up.

“Liuliu, let’s go home!”

When Chen Chen looked at the man who was smiling at her, and also the daughter staring at her with expectation, a thousand thoughts flashed through her mind. She clenched her teeth, seeming to be ready to risk her life. “Let’s go!”

The helicopter landed in the barracks by nightfall, and they saw two people waving at them from below in the distance.

“Ah Zi!” Bear opened the helicopter door.

“Get out!” Ah Zi gave him a kick.

Jiang Rui cast a glance at him and said, “Let’s eat dinner first.”

Obviously, Chen Chen was woken up from her sleep, squinting in a daze.

“Tuan Zi!” Xiao Si waved her hand happily. “Tomorrow, I will take you to see Hei Zi. It misses you so much!”

“Yeah, yeah!” Tuan Zi was held by Xiao Si in his arms. “I miss it too, and I also miss Uncle Xiao Si!”

The car was moving quickly. Jiang Rui saw that Chen Chen had finally stopped being absent-minded, and asked her, “What do you want to eat?”

“What?” Chen Chen was suddenly shocked. “It’s… it’s up to you.”

Bear and Xiao Si looked at each other, sighing simultaneously and silently.

“How about eating at the night market near the moat?!” Bear suggested. “Besides, it’s cool at night.”

Jiang Rui looked at Chen Chen and waited for her decision.

“OK!” Ah Zi glared at her, and Chen Chen quickly nodded. “OK.”

Looking away, Jiang Rui curled the corner of his mouth. He used to think that this girl was cute enough, but now she looked even cuter. Did her medicine have the function of making her adorkable?

At the night market, they found a barbecue stall. Bear and Xiao Si went and took a look at what dishes they had, while Ah Zi asked Chen Chen to sit down together. “Don’t be so nervous, OK? Jiang Rui will not kill you.”

“I’m not used to it!” Chen Chen pouted. “Give me some time.”

“You can think in this way—he is your Prince Charming, and you can finally be with him now. In this way, you won’t be nervous.”

Chen Chen glanced at her. “I’ll be more nervous if I think like that. Besides, when is he Prince Charming?”

“Mr. Chen?”

A voice came sideways.
