An Exclusive Love Chapter 353 - Another Chen Chen

Chen Chen suffered from insomnia.

She could have fallen asleep immediately when she laid her head on the pillow, but Jiang Rui’s words upset her.

“Since you suspect that there’s something wrong with me, why don’t you drive me away?”

“Your IQ won’t allow you to cause big trouble.”

The man said that so arrogantly, as if she were a small bug and could be killed easily.

She was both angry and panic. What would happen in the future? That old lady in the Jiang family overreacted to her appearance, and the Bai family… Chen Chen began to regret it. She was considering if she needed to sneak away with Tuan Zi, but she thought of the genius of Tuan Zi.

“Tuan Zi will receive the right guidance if she stays with me. Otherwise, no one knows what she will be like.” This was what Jiang Rui had told her. Although Chen Chen said that he was just scaring herself, she knew it’s true.

“Oh no! So annoying.” Chen Chen held the quilt in her arms and rolled around on the bed. She didn’t fall asleep until daylight. When she got up, Jiang Rui and Tuan Zi had left early, leaving her breakfast on the table. Besides, there was also a recording pen on the table.

“Mom, Dad said that you must have not slept well last night, and asked me not to wake you up. You’d better stay at home after eating breakfast and not go out, because the dark circles around your eyes will make you not as beautiful as before!”

Chen Chen threw the recording pen aside, running into the bathroom and looking at herself in the mirror. There were indeed dark circles around her eyes. She swore at Jiang Rui, had a casual breakfast and ran back to her room to continue her sleep. Later, she woke up again because of hunger.

She looked at the watch, and it was already two o’clock in the afternoon. She took a bath and sat in the living room, waiting for Tuan Zi’s returning, only to receive a call.

“Mom, Uncle Bear comes to pick me up, and we’re going to see Dad now. He said that he would take the dinner home tonight, goodbye!”

Before Chen Chen had time to say a word, Tuan Zi hung up in a hurry. Chen Chen suddenly felt that her daughter didn’t care about her any more, and that she didn’t want her mother after she had her father. Holding the sofa cus.h.i.+on and sadly falling down on the sofa, she fell asleep again…

She felt chilly, seeming to hear Tuan Zi call her, and occasional animal’s faint sounds, as well as a man’s voice. Chen Chen wanted to open her eyes, but she had no strength at all.

“Dad…” Tuan Zi clung to Jiang Rui’s clothes.

Jiang Rui picked up the thermometer and read the figure. “It’s okay, and her fever is almost gone.” He comforted Tuan Zi. “Your mom will be fine tomorrow morning.”

Tuan Zi looked at Chen Chen who was in a lethargic sleep, shaking her head and saying: “I didn’t mean that.”

“What do you mean?” Jiang Rui picked her up. “You can say whatever you want to say.”

“If there is something strange with my mom after she wakes up, please don’t drive her out. She is really my mom, but her brain is damaged by the fever. She will be normal after having a sleep!”

Jiang Rui frowned. “What will she be like?”

“She will… will…” Tuan Zi failed to express herself clearly.

“I get it.” Jiang Rui touched her head. “No matter what your mom will be like, I won’t drive her out.” He held Tuan Zi in his arms and stood up. “Let’s go, and Dad will sleep with you.”

Tuan Zi was probably worried about Chen Chen, so that she fell asleep later than usual. Jiang Rui left her room and took a shower. He had already lain down, but he still got up and walk to Chen Chen’s door. He was about to open the door and walk in when he saw Chen Chen opened the door.

“Are you okay?” She looked worse.

Chen Chen’s eyes were not as bright as before, but as black as ink. She stared at him straightly and said: “You are blocking my way.”

Jiang Rui’s eyes suddenly became sharp, and he turned himself sideways. “What do you want to do?”

“Drink water.” Chen Chen looked straight ahead and walked past him.

Jiang Rui stared at her back, and he found the air around the woman was completely changed and became gray. Jiang Rui’s sense was not as sharp as Tuan Zi. He couldn’t feel anything about the average person. Only when the air around a person was particularly strong could he feel it.

For example, the air around his soldiers was usually blazing red. Boss Wan had long dealt with underworld organizations, so the air around him was gloomy and cold. As for Ying Qingcang, the air around him was very cold and sharp.

“I’m hungry.” Chen Chen stood at the end of the corridor and looked at him without emotion.

Jiang Rui walked up to her. “You can’t eat meat now.” He knew that she would dissatisfy with a meal without meat, but it’s night and her fever was just gone.

“You promised to bring dinner to me.” Chen Chen accused, “Furthermore, I don’t eat meat.”

Staring at her for a long time, Jiang Rui went into the kitchen and cooked the noodles for her. Chen Chen sat with the chopsticks in her hand. “You’re too slow.”

“When are you going to work at school?” Jiang Rui suddenly asked.

While eating noodles, Chen Chen stretched out a finger, and glanced at Jiang Rui. She didn’t speak until she ate up the noodles and cleaned her mouth. “Don’t talk to me when I’m eating.”

“Then you’ve finished eating, so you can answer my question now.” Jiang Rui looked at her and asked again, “When will you go to work?”

“It’s Sunday today, and I will go to work next Monday.” She looked at Jiang Rui. “You have a really short memory, and your IQ must not be high. Fortunately, Tuan Zi has inherited my genes.” She ignored Jiang Rui’s cold and sharp look, and added, “But you are still useful, and your ability to perceive others’ emotions is pretty good.”

She looked at the man opposite her, “I wonder when I can study you. Well… forget it. You are Tuan Zi’s father and my current husband. If you die during the dissection, it will be very troublesome.”

“I’m full and I’m going to sleep.” Chen Chen stood up, walked to the door of her room and turned around to say: “By the way, you’d better go to cooking cla.s.ses, because the noodles you cooked are really awful.”

After he heard her slam the door, it took Jiang Rui a long time to realize what happened. For so many years… there had been no one daring to talk to him like this.

“That is something strange? She seems to become someone else who remembers everything.” It occurred to him that Chen Chen looked very similar to a person he had known.

Chen Chen got up very early the next morning. When she ran out of her room, Tuan Zi had not yet wakened up. Jiang Rui alone was cooking the porridge in the kitchen.

“I had a fever last night.” She said carefully, and then observed Jiang Rui’s expression.

“This is the first time that I have seen a person who has a fever in sleep.” Jiang Rui added an egg into the pot. “Is there no quilt at home?”

Chen Chen said in embarra.s.sment: “I didn’t know I would fall asleep!” She saw that Jiang Rui was about to serve the dishes, getting close to him and saying, “Let me do it! Let me do it!”

She served the breakfast to the dining room, breathing a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Rui go to wake Tuan Zi up. She should have not woken up last night and slept through the night.

“Mom!” Tuan Zi ran out. “Are you okay?”

Chen Chen lifted her up onto the child seat. “I’m okay. It’s Sunday and what do you want to do today?” Just finis.h.i.+ng her words, she found there was a black thing at her daughter’s feet.

“Dog?” Chen Chen was surprised. She picked up the puppy off the ground. “It’s so small, and Bear gave it to you?”

Tuan Zi held the puppy into her arms happily. “Uncle Bear said that it was a shepherd dog and also the best police dog.”

When Jiang Rui came over, both of them were kissing the dog.

“Didn’t you say that a well-trained dog would be given to Tuan Zi?” Chen Chen touched the dog’s little paws which felt soft and were so lovely!

Jiang Rui frowned and saw them put the puppy on the table. He had planned to ask them not to place the dog on the table, but finally said: “It’s just two months old, just grasping some simple life skills. It’s the best time to cultivate its feelings for Tuan Zi during this period. When it’s half a year old, I’ll send it back for training.”

“I named it Hei Zi!” Tuan Zi lifted the puppy up, “It’s the younger brother of Tuan Zi.”

Chen Chen poked the wet nose of Hei Zi, and then the dog sneezed. Tuan Zi said anxiously, “Mom, you must have not recovered, and don’t infect Hei Zi!”

“You are so ungrateful.” Chen Chen took a big bite of the steamed stuffed bun and said, “I will not take you out today.”

Tuan Zi placed Hei Zi on her lap, and drank the porridge while saying: “Dad is going to take me to have a test today.”

“What kind of test?” Chen Chen asked Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui lifted Hei Zi up off Tuan Zi’s arms and placed it in the doghouse. “IQ test.”

Chen Chen quickly said: “Oh, I will go, too!”

“You go there, too?” Jiang Rui gave a half-smile and looked at her. “Are you sure?”

“You can despise me now as much as you can. But when the test is over, you will cry.” Chen Chen got serious suddenly. “Let’s make a bet.”

Jiang Rui raised his eyebrows. “Continue.”

“You must have a test, too. If I have a higher IQ than you, you must come to pick me up for lunch in the army every noon.” Chen Chen said with a smile, “Of course, if I lose, I will cook breakfast in the future.”

“You? Cook breakfast? Are you going to cook noodles every day?” Jiang Rui satirized, and then added, “The noodles you cook is very awful, too.”

Chen Chen didn’t pay attention to what he implied. She patted herself in the chest and promised: “Just breakfast. I will learn to cook if I lose, so you can rest a.s.sured!”

Finally, the bet was made in this way, and Tuan Zi was the observer.

After having breakfast, the family of three set out, and they just drove the car out of the underground garage when they saw Chengcheng jump out of a car.

“Brother, sister-in-law, and Tuan Zi!” He ran up to them. “Will you play outside? I’m in.”

Bear shouted in the car over there: “I’ll go with you!” He left the car aside immediately and went into Jiang Rui’s car.

On the way, Tuan Zi told them that they would have the IQ test, and informed them of the bet between Jiang Rui and Chen Chen.

“Sister-in-law…” Chengcheng looked at Chen Chen in sorrow. “I will live with you next week.”

Hearing his baffling words, Chen Chen looked at him and said: “Go ahead. I’ll go to work, so you can take care of Hei Zi at home.”

“But I don’t want to eat breakfast you cook. Tuan Zi said that you could only cook instant noodles.”

“Don’t worry, you will not have a chance to eat.” Chen Chen said immodestly, “I won’t lose.”

Bear shook his head. “Mrs. Jiang, why are you so confident? Or your IQ makes you unable to realize that?”

“I’ll ignore you!”

Jiang Rui took Tuan Zi to do the IQ test in a very professional military research inst.i.tute. Of course, he could not choose someone randomly to do the test, because he didn’t want Tuan Zi to attract the attention of the higher-ups. He once saved a doctor during a mission, and today he made an appointment with him.

In order to prove her IQ, Chen Chen asked to be the first one to have the test. After the result came out, everyone was shocked. Even, Jiang Rui suspected that there was something wrong with the test process.

“Hahahaha!” Chen Chen waved the result report at them. “I told you!”
