Chen Chen got up from her seat when Jiang Rui drove away from the kindergarten.
“I thought she was your admirer, but she turned out to be a mother!” She frowned. “Well, we cannot go on like this!”
Jiang Rui glanced at her in the rearview mirror and said, “So I decided to marry you.”
“So I decided to marry you?” His words still filled Chen Chen’s mind after they arrived home.
“Let’s sit down and talk.” Jiang Rui sat down on the sofa and saw Chen Chen stand with a dull look, sighing. “No wonder she wanted his genes. What if her child had inherited her IQ…”
Jiang Rui suddenly wondered why Chen Chen didn’t lower Tuan Zi’s IQ.
“Say… say it.” Chen Chen seemed ready to sacrifice herself.
“Tuan Zi will deal with people in my circle sooner or later. I don’t want her to feel wronged. So, we have to have a civil marriage. Of course, if you fall in love with someone in the future, we can divorce.”
Chen Chen came to have a clear mind actually. She understood what he meant, but she was still worried.
“What if you have affairs with other women outside and they come here to cause trouble?” “Who is Jiang Rui? I cannot afford to provoke any woman in his circle.”
Jiang Rui frowned. “You’re my lady and no one dares to cause trouble to you.”
Chen Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, almost misunderstanding his forceful words…
“What if you have a woman you love later?” Chen Chen muttered, “I won’t allow my daughter to recognize any other woman as her stepmother, so you must let Tuan Zi and me go if that happens.”
Jiang Rui nodded. That could not happen at all, but he couldn’t be bothered to explain to Chen Chen.
“I’m going to the army and report on my marriage. Let’s register for marriage tomorrow.” He stood up, ready to leave, and turned at the door to ask her, “Would you like to meet my family or hold a wedding?”
Chen Chen shook her head hard and said, “No, our marriage is just for the sake of Tuan Zi, and it doesn’t make any sense.”
Jiang Rui’s eyes turned dim. He opened the door and went out.
Chen Chen eavesdropped with her ear against the door for a long time, and then screamed and picked up her phone to call Ah Zi after making sure that he actually entered the elevator.
“The God of War proposed to me just now!”
Over the other side of the phone, Ah Zi seemed to tip over her glass. Chen Chen heard that Ah Zi said “Shit” and then bustled about.
“Actually… he didn’t propose but felt that it’s better for Tuan Zi to obtain a marriage certificate.”
“Damn it!” Ah Zi’s voice sounded. “You made me get the keyboard wet!”
Indifferent to Ah Zi’s words, Chen Chen chuckled, “So what? Your keyboard can resist even sulfuric acid.”
“Don’t turn to a new topic. What’s going on?”
Chen Chen repeated Jiang Rui’s words and asked Ah Zi, “Do you think that I am disadvantaged?”
With the voice full of contempt, Ah Zi said: “Wake up, and it is Jiang Rui who is disadvantaged.”
“Do you have to tell the truth?” Chen Chen complained, “Anyway, I’m a young girl, tender and beautiful. He is a few years older than me!”
“There will be a crowd of beautiful young girls willing to marry Jiang Rui as long as he wishes! How lucky you are! If I had known that he cared so much about kids, I should have also stolen his sperms together with you at that time.”
Chen Chen said, “Bah! Didn’t you say that men are not as good as computers?”
“That depends on who the man is.” Ah Zi sighed. “You’d better be careful. As he said, once you’re known to others, there will definitely be a bunch of people causing trouble to you.”
“I know.” Just like a dead mouse feeling no cold, Chen Chen seemed indifferent to that. “He had promised me anyway, and I’ll trust him for now. Besides, I’m not a very easy person to deal with. If anyone is bullying me, I’ll definitely rush to bite her to death!”
Ah Zi gave up on Chen Chen’s courage. Even sometimes, she was not as brave as Tuan Zi. So Ah Zi nagged Chen Chen to remember to call her if anything happened. In the worst case, she could go to help Chen Chen. After getting her promise, Ah Zi hung up the phone.
Probably because of mental suggestion, Chen Chen was emboldened by Jiang Rui’s decision to have a civil marriage with her. She looked around the house and saw the letter of appointment and the teaching plans on the table.
“I can’t just sit around and do nothing. Or simply, I’ll prepare for the lessons and sort out what I want to teach next week.” At noon, it was not the chef sent by Jiang Rui but Bear who arrived.
“Mrs. Jiang! Here comes the furniture.” Bear put a few boxes on the table and said, “Here’s pizza and fried chicken. Boss is busy, unable to return home. He asked me to bring you something to eat.”
Seeing Chen Chen opened the pizza box happily, he complacently squatted down before her and wanted to be praised, saying, “In fact, boss asked me to buy you the bland Huaiyang cuisine. But I thought it was for the elderly! How do you like the food? I didn’t buy the wrong food, did I?”
“From now on, you are my confidant!” Chen Chen patted Bear on the shoulder while gnawing the drumsticks. “Even if Jiang Rui wants to divorce me, we are still friends!”
Bear gave a pat on his chest. “Certainly… Wait a minute! Boss wants to divorce you? You’re not married, aren’t you?”
“We will tomorrow.” Chen Chen was a little simple-minded, actively and completely explaining to him.
Bear stood up abruptly and began to murmur, “No wonder, no wonder boss asked Xiao Si to give a report to the higher authorities. Damn it! If I had known it was a marriage report, I should have taken a peek at it!”
“Mrs. Jiang! You’ll be really Mrs. Jiang.” Bear seemed to be touched and said, still remembering to turn around to remind the workers who were moving the furniture to be careful.
It’s Chen Chen’s turn to say complacently: “Keep a low profile! Keep a low profile!”
“No!” Bear gave a pat on his thigh. “Such an important thing must be celebrated. What about wedding or banquets?”
“No.” Chen Chen ate up the second slice of pizza. “Wedding? Do you want me to be killed?”
Bear nodded and sat down beside Chen Chen seriously. “You are right. The marriage unknown to others will be better. Anyway, we have known it. Otherwise, if the Bai family…” He suddenly stopped, covering his mouth.
“Talk about it!” Chen Chen handed him a chicken wing. “I often hear you mention the Bai family, and what’s going on?”
Bear thought for a second.
“You are Mrs. Jiang now, and you should know that.” He said with the disgust in his eyes, “In fact, there’s nothing remarkable. Boss once met Bai Weirong of the Bai family during a mission. It was in a banquet.”
At that time, Jiang Rui was performing a mission abroad, his opponent searched for him at a banquet. It was a piece of cake for Jiang Rui. But when he was about to escape, Bai Weirong rushed to him out of nowhere, holding him tightly and calling him husband.
At that time, Jiang Rui instinctively pushed her away, only to arouse the opponent’s suspicion. His opponent held a gun and planned to search him.
At this point, Bear put up a ferocious countenance, and Chen Chen felt that he really wanted to kill Bai Weirong.
“Do you know what the stupid woman did?”
Bai Weirong stood before Jiang Rui and shouted at the men holding the gun, “You must not hurt him. He’s not the person you are looking for!”
“Puff…” Chen Chen believed that even with her IQ, she could not do that. No one mentioned looking for Jiang Rui, but this woman’s words directly gave away Jiang Rui.
Then, Jiang Rui killed his opponent. However in the process, Miss Bai arbitrarily made a few attempts to rush to take a bullet for him, and finally caught a bullet in her shoulder. After returning to Huaxia, she considered herself as Jiang Rui’s confidant.
“Your boss actually saves her face, just allowing her to say that?”
Bear snorted, saying: “Actually, boss was going to stop her at the beginning. But he found that with Bai Weirong, other women dared not chase after him. Bai Weirong said that she had an unusual relationship with boss everywhere. Furthermore, the Bai family is also one of the four major families, and others dare not offend her.”
Chen Chen understood and said, “Your boss found a really good shield.” Suddenly she realized something bad. “Since… since I’ll be married to Jiang Rui, what will Bai Weirong do if she knows?”
“I guess… she will kill you.” Bear said seriously.
Chen Chen suddenly felt that the pizza in her mouth was tasteless. “I knew it! It’s definitely not easy to be the wife of God of War. What upsets me more is I’m not his real wife at all.”
Bear saw her look and hurried to comfort her. “Mrs. Jiang, what are you afraid of? Even if the stupid woman wants to cause trouble to you, boss will protect you. You can rest assured that he will not allow any harm to you.”
Jiang Rui had promised indeed, but could he follow her 24 hours a day? Chen Chen regretted it and felt that it was so dangerous to obtain a marriage certificate.
“Well, Bai Weirong didn’t dare do that!” Bear saw that there was something wrong with her expressions, and then said, “No one dares to offend boss. Since he wants to disclose who you are, he will certainly protect you, so you must trust him.”
Chen Chen snorted. “It seems that everyone will fear your boss.”
“It’s true!” Bear stood up, sent the workers delivering the furniture away, closed the door and sat back. “I’ll tell you how frightening boss is!”
“Yeah!” Chen Chen recovered her appetite, holding a slice of pizza and listening to the story.
Bear thought for a while and clap his hands. “Eight years ago, a silly guy dared to kidnap boss’s younger sister and threatened him with a lifesaving prescription. Then, boss threw him into a cave where there were mice everywhere.”
“Then he sealed the cave, leaving a small hole. As soon as any mouse was going to come out, he would burn it with fire. The mice failed to escape, but had to run around in the cave. Later, the mice became hungry, and started to eat that person.”
Chen Chen shivered and asked: “He was bitten to death?”
“How was it possible?” Bear said with admiration in his eyes.” Boss had wrapped his neck, arteries and other vital parts with steel sheets. The guy could even not die as he wished, just watching himself being eaten up gradually.”
“It’s horrible!” Chen Chen threw the pizza away. “What happened then?”
“That guy was a coward. One day later, he failed to put up with the biting and gave up what boss wanted.”
“That’s okay. He could die easily.” Chen Chen was relieved, and she found her body numb.
Bear laughed and said, “He was too naive. Boss lied to him, and he was finally killed by the mice.”
“I… I won’t register for the marriage with him…” Chen Chen stood up, shivering. “I’m going to leave here.”
