Chapter 346 - We were Just Friends (1/2)

As for Ah Zi’s suggestion, Chen Chen didn’t dare to even think about it.

From Bear’s indirect description, she could tell that Jiang Rui either hated women or had apathy toward sex. She had never seen a rumor about him, either. So… Chen Chen decisively strangled the idea to death in its bud.

As for college, she was satisfied at last. It’s because after searching online, she found that the place offered nice conditions, especially the food!

“Look!” She presented Jiang Rui with the printed invitation.

Jiang Rui took it over to see and there was astonishment in his eyes, “You have a Ph.D. in chemistry?”

“Yes!” Chen Chen proudly nodded. She had wanted to say she also had a Ph.D. in biology. But she held her words back because she thought it would be dangerous.

“I have underestimated you.” He eyed at her, “Did you buy it?”

Chen Chen widened her eyes, “You think this academy can’t tell whether the certificate is real or fake?”

“Hope you can hold on for a month.” Jiang Rui handed the invitation back to her. Chen Chen ignored him, “I can absolutely stay there for a year.”

“You may be fine, but I’m afraid the university is not.” He lifted his eyebrows, “They may want to expel you.”

Chen Chen turned back to her room and cursed Jiang Rui along the way that such an evil-minded and evil-mouthed man deserved no affection from women.

However, not long after that, Chen Chen knew that more than one woman liked him…

The next day when Tuan Zi was sent to kindergarten, Chen Chen decided not to go.

“Why?” Tuan Zi asked her.

Chen Chen said, “You can only choose one of us, me or him.”

Jiang Rui closed his mouth and wanted to say that he wasn’t going. But Tuan Zi got into his arms and said, “I want my dad to take me there!”

“Then you can leave right now.” Chen Chen gritted her teeth and said. Then she rushed into the washroom. She closed the door with so much effort that it made a loud noise.

On the way, Jiang Rui asked Tuan Zi why she didn’t let her mother take her.

Tuan Zi explained like this.

“Mum looks stupid. If the other kids know I have such a foolish mum, they will think I’m too. And then I’ll be bullied.” She happily looked at Jiang Rui, “But dad is different. Dad wears a military uniform with many stars on it. Everyone can tell you’re very powerful!”

Jiang Rui was satisfied. He noticed that whenever Tuan Zi judged a thing, she would always think about the advantages for herself although it might make her have fewer friends currently, which might leave her childhood a little boring.

But Tuan Zi was not a normal kid and wouldn’t take on a normal path. Instead, Jiang Rui didn’t want her to have friends too young, which would save her a lot of trouble. By the time she had a mature view of the world, she could choose friends, which would benefit her life in the future.

Jiang Rui chose the kindergarten in person. It wasn’t the most expensive one in the capital or full of children of generals and leaders. Instead, it was only a private kindergarten. The headmaster of the kindergarten was Situ Ren, who was a top-ranking master in calligraphy in the country. He had a personal friendship with Jiang Rui.

“I had thought you wouldn’t get married forever. But now you have a daughter!” Situ Ren looked at the little girl in Jiang Rui’s arms, “She looks just like you!”

Jiang Rui put Tuan Zi down, “Tuan Zi, this is the headmaster of the kindergarten. He is in charge here.”

“Uncle Headmaster!” Tuan Zi made a judgment instantly and gave Situ Ren the sweetest smile.

Situ Ren touched her little head and sighed, “It’s lucky that she doesn’t have your temperament.”

“I will leave the kid to you. I’ll pick her up tonight.” Today was the first day, so Jiang Rui decided to pick her up by himself in case she couldn’t get used to it.

Tuan Zi held Jiang Rui and kissed him, “Don’t worry, dad. I’m the daughter of a soldier. I’m not afraid!” Then she patted on her heart with her fist, which was taught by Bear. Every time they had a mission, he would say goodbye to his comrades like this.

“Tuan Zi is a good soldier!” Jiang Rui kissed her too and then waved goodbye.

Situ Ren looked at Tuan Zi with appreciation and led her into the classroom. Jiang Rui didn’t leave until they went out of sight. He drove all the way back home. When he passed the gate of the complex he lived, he saw Chen Chen in a suit and staggering in a pair of high heels.

Ignoring her terrible gestures, the suit fitted her and she did have a great physique. Although she was small in size, she had those beautiful legs, which were long and thin. She always wore leisurely clothes in the past, so her physique was not such significant. Now she looked extremely attractive when dressed like this.

“Ah!” Chen Chen had sprained her feet again. She kneaded her ankle which was almost broken and thought maybe she should just give up. A person suddenly appeared behind her and Chen Chen instinctively tried to run away. Therefore, she forgot that she was on high heels and directly fell toward the ground.

“This is bad!” When she was thinking like that, an arm showed up on her waist. She had already lain in a chest by the time she realized it.

“Thank…” She lifted her head and stopped her thanks, “Why are you here?”

There was a faint fragrance surrounding Jiang Rui’s nose. He felt that it was quite familiar but when he thought about it, he couldn’t recall. He frowned and thought it was impossible. Once he had met the person, heard the sound, smelt the scent, he would never forget…

Chen Chen saw him frowning and thought he was angry. So she hurriedly got out of Jiang Rui’s arms. Then the fragrance was gone and Jiang Rui came back to himself.

“Thank you. I’m all right. You can go now.” Chen Chen stepped backwards to keep a safe distance from him.

Jiang Rui took a look at her red ankle, “Dressed up like this, your leg will break before you get there.”

“… Can you say sprain?” Chen Chen pouted and thought of a horror movie when thinking of the word “break”.

“Let’s go.” Jiang Rui said.

Chen Chen was a little happy, “You’ll take me there?”

“No, I mean I’ll take you back home to get your shoes changed.”

“There are no other shoes!” Chen Chen said angrily, “I only bought this pair of high heels. Other shoes can’t be matched with the skirt.”
