He had thought that it would be over. Unexpectedly, a piece of news broke out a few days later.
A rich man was drunk and accidentally told others that he tried to drug Lu Qi and rape her. Then he took photos and threatened Lu Qi to marry him. Gossip spread fast in this circle. The Lu family reported it directly after knowing it.
Jiang Rui didn't care about it at all. It was the first snow in the capital and the snowflakes were like salt. He was making a snowman with Tuan Zi in the community and saw Bear's car coming in from a distance.
"Boss, something happened."
"Let's go upstairs first."
Bear said that the police had caught those guys who had drugged Lu Qi. They were just ordinary punks. But when Lu Qi came to identify them, she said that there was another group of people who chased after her.
Because there were also two groups of people who wanted to catch her, she had the chance to run away and was saved by Jiang Rui.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Rui frowned after hearing it. "It's none of our business."
Bear nodded. "It was supposed to be. But Lu Qi's car was bombed this morning. If she hadn't changed her car because of the snow, there would be nothing left of it now."
"The result from the inspection department is that the bomb is the usual model used by terrorists."
Everyone knew that Jiang Rui hated terrorists to the core. Usually, it depended on his mood to send him out for a task. But if it was related to terrorists, he would do it himself.
"We'll take it." Jiang Rui didn't hesitate. "Keep an eye on Lu Qi. It seems that she is the target."
Big Bear looked at him hesitantly.
"Just say it."
"The Lu family means … that they want us to protect Lu Qi."
Jiang Rui glanced at him. "I asked you to keep an eye on her."
Bear wanted to roll his eyes. He asked them to protect her, not keep an eye on her! He forgot that in Jiang Rui's eyes, keeping an eye on her was probably the same as protecting her.
"The Lu family means that they want you to protect Lu Qi." He said carefully, "The management also agrees."
Jiang Rui twitched his mouth. "Whoever agrees can do it."
"Where are we going?" Chen Chen took Tuan Zi who had changed her clothes out of the room.
Bear hurriedly repeated what he had just said as if he had seen his savior. Chen Chen nodded hard and patted Jiang Rui's shoulder, saying, "Uncle of the People's Liberation Army, it's time to test you. Hurry up and protect the people!"
"Mom, Dad doesn't have time to protect a woman!" Tuan Zi was unwilling. In this respect, she was more territorial than Chen Chen.
Jiang Rui's phone rang. He looked at the number and his face became colder. Seeing him go aside to answer the phone, Bear whispered, "It must be a call from the top."
Sure enough, after hanging up the phone, Jiang Rui kicked Bear with a sullen face. "Hurry up and check it out. If we can't catch him during the Spring Festival, we won't have a holiday."
"Are you going to move to the Lu family?" Chen Chen asked expectantly. She was overjoyed.
Jiang Rui looked at her and suddenly smiled. "No, she moved here."
Chen Chen didn't realize that he wasn't joking until Jiang Rui moved his things to the master bedroom at night.
"You … What are you doing?"
"Aren't you happy that I'm protecting others? Then cooperate with me. "Jiang Rui walked into the bathroom and put the toiletries away. Then he closed the door and took a shower. When he came out, Chen Chen was still sitting on the sofa in a daze.
"That woman surnamed Lu will come tomorrow. In order to get used to it, we have to sleep together today." Jiang Rui began to take off his clothes.
Chen Chen jumped up as if she had touched an electric switch. "What are you going to do?"
"Sleep." Jiang Rui only wore shorts and lay in the quilt.
"I don't want to sleep with you." Chen Chen pulled her hair. She understood what Jiang Rui meant. If Lu Qi came to live in their house, they definitely couldn't sleep in separate rooms.
Jiang Rui glanced at her. "It was you who asked me to take this task and you agreed to let her come. What do you mean now?"
"I … I …" Chen Chen was speechless. "But we can't sleep in the same bed." You are a man. You can sleep on the sofa! "
"This is my home." Jiang Rui raised his eyelids. "You have two choices. One is to sleep on the bed, and the other is to sleep on the sofa."
Chen Chen stared at him fiercely, took out the quilt from the cabinet and lay on the sofa. As soon as she lay down, Jiang Rui turned off the light. She screamed, "Don't turn off the light! Don't turn off the light!"
"Shut up!" Jiang Rui turned on the bedside lamp. "Do you want to scare Tuan Zi?"
Chen Chen said sadly, "I don't turn off the light when I sleep."
Jiang Rui ignored her and reached out to touch the light. Chen Chen thought he was going to turn it off again, but he just dimmed the light.
The two of them lay down again. Only the sound of shallow breathing could be heard in the quiet room. For Jiang Rui, it was a very wonderful feeling. After he grew up, he had never slept with anyone else. But now, when he heard Chen Chen's breathing, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Chen Chen was too nervous to fall asleep at first. She thought that she would have insomnia until dawn, but she fell asleep soon.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Rui suddenly heard a sound. He suddenly opened his eyes and became sober. Then he relaxed and turned to look at the sofa.
His mouth twitched when he saw it.
Chen Chen was lying on the ground. She probably felt cold and was touching the quilt everywhere.
Jiang Rui sat up and walked over to cover her with the quilt. Then he turned back to the bed. Seeing Chen Chen frowning and not sleeping well, he closed his eyes and stood up to carry her to the sofa.
Then when he just lay down, he heard another sound. He turned around and saw Chen Chen lying on the ground again.
What a stupid woman …
Jiang Rui touched his forehead and carried Chen Chen up again. When he was about to put her on the sofa, he thought for a while and put her on the bed. Then he got into another quilt and turned off the light.
Chen Chen felt very uncomfortable in the first half of the night. The bed was hard and cold. In the second half of the night, she suddenly felt comfortable. The bed became soft and warm, as if there was a stove next to her. Then she tried to squeeze in that direction!
When she opened her eyes in the morning, she found that she was sleeping on the bed and holding a pillow. She sat up quickly and her first reaction was to check her pajamas. She was relieved when she found that there was no sign of her pajamas being taken off.
"It's strange … How did I get on the bed?" She changed her clothes and went to the living room after washing up. Only Jiang Rui was sitting there eating breakfast alone. She glanced around and didn't see Hei Zi. Then she knew that Ying Cheng and Tuan Zi went out for a walk.
Sitting at the table, Chen Chen took a steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth. Seeing Jiang Rui shaking his arm from time to time, she remembered that she woke up on the bed this morning. So she plucked up her courage and asked him, "Well … I found myself on the bed this morning …"
"You don't know that you have sleepwalking?" Jiang Rui asked.
Chen Chen was confused, "Sleepwalking?"
"You sleepwalked to the bed by yourself."
Chen Chen was scared. She really didn't know that she had sleepwalking. She didn't mention it when she lived with Ah Zi!
"You liar!" Chen Chen stared at him, "I don't sleepwalk. People who sleepwalk are tired in the morning. I slept very well!"
Of course, you pressed my arm for the whole night. How could you not feel comfortable … Jiang Rui looked at her and forced a smile, "Do you think I will carry you to the bed?"
"No, you won't." Chen Chen said without thinking. She thought that even if she fell under the sofa, the man wouldn't care about her.
"Then don't." Jiang Rui moved his arm again, "Tie yourself to the sofa with a rope tonight."
Chen Chen curled her lips but didn't dare to refute. Then she heard the man say something.
"Anyway, as long as that woman stays here for a day, we have to sleep in the same room." After that, Jiang Rui shook his arm and went to the kitchen, leaving Chen Chen alone thinking.
She couldn't let Lu Qi stay here. She had to find a way to drive her away. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to sleep in the future …
At the Lu family.
Lu Tao was still persuading Lu Qi, "I really don't know why you thought of it. He is already married."
"So what?" Lu Qi muttered, "I'm not going to ruin it. I just want to see what kind of woman can marry him."
Zhou He agreed, "Yes, it's not a big deal. If they don't have a good relationship, even Qiqi doesn't mind him remarrying. Why would he be unwilling? "
"Mom!" Lu Qi lowered her head shyly and smiled sweetly.
Lu Tao sighed. He didn't take it seriously when he knew that his sister fell in love with Jiang Rui at first sight. He knew that Jiang Rui didn't care about the Lu family at all. He didn't even care about the Bai family, not to mention the Lu family, which had been out of the political circle.
But his mother and sister didn't understand it. He didn't know who they used to make Jiang Rui agree. Not only did he agree, but he also allowed Lu Qi to live in his house. It was incredible. Lu Tao always felt that something bad would happen.
On the contrary, Lu Qi was very happy. She had thought that Jiang Rui could come to the Lu family every day. As long as he saw her, he would naturally find her good. But now she could live in his house and get along with him day and night!
Lu Qi even thought that Jiang Rui might be interested in her. Then she had to seize the opportunity!
"Let's go. I'll drive you there." Lu Tao didn't agree, but he had no other choice now. He had to greet Jiang Rui shamelessly. If his sister did something wrong, he hoped that he could be merciful.
Lu Tao parked the car downstairs of Jiang Rui's house. Lu Qi was still complaining why Jiang Rui didn't live in a villa. But a puppy suddenly ran out of nowhere and barked, which scared Lu Qi.
"It's a puppy!" She squatted down and wanted to touch it. But the puppy didn't care about her and bit her.
"Qiqi!" Lu Tao hurried to check her hand, "Is it broken?"
"No." Lu Qi's eyes were red. She shook her hand, "It hurts!"
Tuan Zi ran over breathlessly, "Auntie, are you okay?"
Lu Qi saw that it was a little girl. When she was about to scold her, she was surprised to find that the little girl looked like Jiang Rui.
"Little girl, is your father Jiang Rui?" Lu Tao also found it.
Tuan Zi nodded and blinked, "Are you the auntie who insisted on living in my house?"
