Chapter 366 - Another Woman Comes to the Family (1/2)
Chapter 366 Another Woman Comes to the FamilyIt was originally thought that the thing would finally end like that. However, one would have never imagined that a piece of news suddenly came several days later.
It said that a drunken boy of a rich family spilled the beans that he had tried to drug Lu Qi and forced her to have sex with him. He even took some photos to threaten her to marry him. Words ran fast in that circle, and at last, came to the Lu family. So they called the police.
Still, Jiang Rui totally took no notice of the event. The capital witnessed its first snowfall and the snowflakes floated like salt. When he was making a snowman with Tuan Zi around the neighborhood, Bear’s car was driving near from the distance.
“Boss, something happened.”
“Let’s talk upstairs.”
Bear said those boys who drugged Lu Qi were caught by the police. They were just some common hooligans. But when Lu Qi was called to identify those who bullied her, she said there was still a gang who chased her except for those people.
Thanks to the fact that two gangs had chased her, she found a chance to escape from them so that she could be saved by Jiang Rui.
“What do you mean?” Jiang Rui frowned after hearing that. “We shouldn’t meddle in this.”
Bear nodded. “As it should be. But someone had put explosives in her car this morning. If she hadn’t changed to a temporary car, she would have vanished by now.”
“The result from the laboratory department is that the type of explosives was commonly used by terrorists.”
Everyone knew that Jiang Rui hated terrorists to the bone. The common case was that his choice on whether to take a task depended on his mood. But once it involved terrorists, he would definitely go.
“We will take the case,” Jiang Rui said without hesitation. “Watch over Lu Qi. It seems she’s the target.”
Bear looked at him as if he had something else to say.
“Say it.”
“The Lu family wants us… to protect Lu Qi.”
Jiang Rui cast a glance at him and said, “I’ve said it. Watch over her.”
Bear really wanted to roll his eyes. They wanted protection, not monitoring. He must have forgotten it that for Jiang Rui, protection and monitoring were the same.
“The Lu family wants you to protect Lu Qi,” he said with caution. “The leaders have approved of this.”
Jiang Rui curled his mouth and said, “Let those who agree with it go.”
“To go where?” Chen Chen came out of the room with Tuan Zi who had been dressing.
Bear saw them as if he saw his saviors so he repeated his words. Chen Chen nodded eagerly and said to Jiang Rui, patting his shoulder, “Uncle People’s Liberation Army, it’s time to test you. Go and protect the people.”
“Mom, dad got no time to protect a woman!” Tuan Zi disagreed with them. In that respect, she was more territorial than Chen Chen.
Jiang Rui’s phone rang. As soon as he cast a glance at the number, her face got colder. Bear whispered while he saw Jiang Rui was answering the phone, “It must be the leaders calling in person.”
As expected, after hanging up the phone, Jiang Rui, whose face was still dark, kicked Bear and said, “Investigate this. If we fail to catch the man by New Year, don’t even expect any holiday.”
“Does it mean you would move into the Lu house?” Chen Chen was very happy with this and couldn’t hide the expectations showed by her face.
Jiang Rui looked at her and laughed. “No, she would move into our house.”
Until bedtime, when Jiang Rui moved his things to the master bedroom, Chen Chen was shocked to see that he wasn’t joking.
“What… What are you going to do?”
“Don’t you feel unhappy that I’m protecting another woman? Then, cooperate with me.” Jiang Rui walked into the bathroom and shut the door to take a shower. After a while, he went out only to find that Chen Chen was still absent-minded.
“The woman surnamed Lu will come over tomorrow. In order to get used to it, we should begin to sleep together today.” Jiang Rui was ready to undress.
Chen Chen jumped up suddenly as if she had received an electric shock. She asked, “What are you going to do?”
“Sleep.” Jiang Rui tucked himself in, only in his underwear.
“I don’t want to sleep with you.” Chen Chen pulled her hair. She understood Jiang Rui well, for if Lu Qi moved in, they definitely should sleep together.
Jiang Rui looked at her and said, “It’s you who allowed me to take on the duty and it’s you who agreed to the fact that she would move in. So what are you up to?”
“I… I…” Chen Chen felt too dumb to say anything. “Even so, we still cannot share the same bed. You’re a man, so you should sleep on the sofa!”
“This is my place.” Jiang Rui lifted his eyelid and added, “You have two choices. Go to bed or sleep on the sofa.”
Chen Chen gave him a rude stare and she took a quilt from the closet; at the time when she lay down on the sofa, Jiang Rui turned off the light. Suddenly, she screamed, “Keep the light on. Keep the light on!”
“Shut up!” Jiang Rui turned the bed lamp on. “Do you want to scare Tuan Zi?”
Felt wronged by him, Chen Chen said, “I always sleep with the light on.”
Jiang Rui ignored her and reached out to the lamp. Chen Chen thought he would turn it off again, but he was just about to dim it.
Both of them lay down again and the room was left with the sound of light breath. For Jiang Rui, it was wonderful. Since growing into adulthood, he had never slept with someone else. By hearing Chen Chen’s breathing, he felt nothing uncomfortable.
