Chapter 420 - Kiss You and the Truth (1/2)

When Chen Rui returned, Chen Chen was watching TV with Tuan Zi on the sofa.

“How’s it going?” Chen Chen stared at him as he came in.

“Let’s have dinner first!” Jiang Rui rolled up his sleeves and entered the kitchen.

Tuan Zi looked at her mother, as if saying, “You are really happy.” “I heard on TV that you should just marry a man who cooks for you!”

“What nonsense?” Chen Chen poked her head. “Brother Xiao Rui will be angry if he hears you saying that.”

Tuan Zi called Xin Qing while Chen Chen was sleeping. She first told Xin Qing, in an exaggerated way, that Chen Chen was slapped, and was currently waiting for a ruling. In case that Bai Weirong’s baby was gone, Chen Chen had to prepare herself for a lawsuit.

Then she added, “Grandma, I think I can remind Mom that Dad likes her.”

“Wasn’t it agreed not to mention it?” Xin Qing was considering how to tell Boss Wan that his daughter was bullied, without paying attention to Tuan Zi’s meaning.

Tuan Zi answered, “But now my mother never thinks that Dad may like her. No matter what my father does, she thinks that he is taking care of her as his sister, for the sake of the relations between our two families.”

“What if she’s scared and runs away?” Xin Qing said with worry.

“So she should hear that from me. I’m just a kid!” Tuan Zi said naturally and confidently, “More or less, my words will help.”

Tuan Zi decided to reveal the truth since Chen Chen was frightened an out of sorts.

“You can see that Dad is anxious this time.” Tuan Zi looked at her seriously. “No, I should say that Dad will care about anything related to you!”

Sure enough, Chen Chen said, “Of course, for the sake of the relations between our two families!”

“Mom…” Tuan Zi lay in her arms. “You don’t feel that Dad likes you, at all?”

“Oh my God!” Chen Chen smiled while patting on the sofa. “You’re just a little kid. What do you know? Go away!”

Tuan Zi clung on to her. “Mom, I think Dad likes you.”

Seeing Chen Chen still intent on laughing, she pouted. “Think about Dad’s usual attitude towards you.” Then she rolled her eyes and decided to give away a shocking news. “One morning, I saw Dad kiss you!”

“Kiss… Kiss… Kiss who?” Chen Chen stammered.

Tuan Zi said with a smile. “Kiss you! I saw Dad kiss you while you were asleep.”

“Really?” Chen Chen asked in a daze. Seeing her daughter nod hard, she suddenly became agitated. “That’s too much! How could he kiss me while I’m asleep?”

“Do you mean that I should kiss you when you’re awake?” Someone suddenly interjected.

Chen Chen failed to realize who was talking, saying angrily, “Yeah, how could I respond to his kiss when I’m asleep?”

“I got it. Next time, I will definitely kiss you when you are awake.” The person continued with a smile, “Now, go wash your hands and have dinner!”

“Tuan Zi, is… your dad talking?” Chen Chen blushed, looking at her daughter and expecting her to say no. But Tuan Zi’s nodding deprived her of hope.

She rushed into the room, covering her face, and slammed the door shut.

“Dad, was I rushing things?” Tuan Zi was a little depressed.

Jiang Rui touched her head. “Well done! Dad must thank you. Let’s have dinner first. I’ll see her now.”

Chen Chen was hiding in the bathroom and scolding herself in the mirror.

“You are so stupid. Why are you so slow in reacting?” She looked at her lips, and thinking that Jiang Rui might have kissed her, she shouted impatiently. “You have focused on the wrong thing! It’s not whether you’re awake or asleep, but how could he kiss you casually?”

“I didn’t kiss you casually. I was very serious.” Jiang Rui pushed open the door and looked at her as he curled a corner of his mouth.

Chen Chen was frightened to hear that. “Brother… Brother Xiao Rui…”

“Just kidding!” Jiang Rui touched her head. “Don’t think about it. Come out and have dinner.”

“Haha… Haha…” Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, then smirked. “I knew it was not possible!”

Jiang Rui nodded, pulled her out, and said lightly, “Yeah, if I want to kiss you, I will definitely do it when you’re awake.”

She just felt relieved, but then she was shocked again. In a daze, Chen Chen was pulled out by the man, and what she was thinking was “kiss you”…

That incident made her forget something unpleasant that had happened before. After the dinner, she suddenly remembered that.

“Brother Xiao Rui… Xiao Rui…” She looked somewhat awkwardly at the man washing the dishes, “Her baby…”

Jiang Rui paused and said, “Go out first. I’ll tell you later.”

“Yeah.” Chen Chen left with her head down and felt sad again. It seemed that the baby was surely gone.

After a while, Jiang Rui came out with a plate of strawberries. “Eat some!”

Chen Chen glanced at him and lowered her head again.
