An Exclusive love-Chapter 392 - There Is a Kind of Love
Chapter 392 There Is a Kind of LoveThe brake of his memory was taken off, and the images of getting along with Liuliu in his childhood flashed into his mind. No wonder he felt so familiar with Chen Chen; no wonder he confidently allowed her to approach himself. Thinking of the little girl who once wrapped her arms around his neck and gently called him brother when they were young, Jiang Rui felt the heartache as if his heart was being gripped by someone. She forgot him because she had lost her memory.
But how could he not recognize her?
“Do you regret it?” Ying Qingcang suddenly sat beside him.
Jiang Rui was silent.
Ying Qingcang asked another question, “Do you feel the heartache?”
“Yeah,” Jiang Rui answered honestly.
“Do you like Liuliu?” Ying Qingcang looked at him. “Not because of Tuan Zi or because she is the daughter of Boss Wan, but do you like her just because she is how she is?”
Jiang Rui’s eyes slowly became clear and bright, and he looked up. “I love her just like you love Mom.”
“Don’t compare yourself to me.” Ying Qingcang looked sideways at him. “I would never let my woman lie in the hospital, especially because of my own fault.
“Do you know where you were wrong?” Ying Qingcang asked again.
Jiang Rui nodded and said, “I do.”
He was too confident.
He was so confident to take action before making a clear investigation. In his eyes, no matter whether Hei Feng had harmed anyone or not, as long as she was needed by terrorists, she should not live in this world. His hatred of terrorists made Jiang Rui make the wrong decision.
And, most importantly…
He knew clearly that he liked Chen Chen and that Chen Chen had secrets, but he did not try to find out the truth. He communicated very little with Chen Chen, and he didn’t even know that she was Liuliu.
“It’s not all your fault.” Seeing that Jiang Rui had learned the lesson, Ying Qingcang continued, “At first, Chen Huan and your mom wanted to create opportunities for you to develop a romantic relationship, so they concealed Liuliu’s identity.”
“It’s my fault.” Jiang Rui interrupted him. “Uncle Wan can do whatever he wants to do to me, but I have to wait for Chen Chen to wake up. I have a lot to tell her.”
As Xin Qing stepped out with red eyes, Ying Qingcang frowned and held her in his arms. “Don’t cry, or it will hurt your eyes.”
“Xiao Rui, no matter what Boss Wan says, don’t answer back. If he wants to hit you, let him do it. Just let his anger wear off.” Xin Qing touched Jiang Rui’s head. “It was just an accident. When Liuliu wakes up, you have to treat her well!”
Jiang Rui nodded. “Mom, don’t worry. As long as Uncle Wan allows me to see Chen Chen, everything will be okay.”
“I’ll go to see Tuan Zi.” Xin Qing gave him a pat and left with Ying Qingcang. Jiang Rui stared at the door of the ward. Bear and Scar went in to take some food to them, and after Scar stepped out, he excitedly spoke to Jiang Rui.
“Boss, turn on your phone.”
Jiang Rui took out his phone and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I have attached a micro monitor to Mrs. Jiang’s bed!” He shook the receiver in his hand.
Bear gave him a punch. “Good job!”
Jiang Rui connected the receiver to his mobile phone, and what was going on in the ward was shown on the screen. The micro monitor could capture Chen Chen’s face exactly. She hadn’t woken up yet, lying still in bed.
“You go back now. The Bai family will definitely seize this opportunity.” Jiang Rui lowered his voice. “Try to minimize the impact.”
Bear was a little worried. “Then, how about the identity of Mrs. Jiang…”
Jiang Rui said sneeringly, “Let them investigate. In this way, it will take Uncle Wan’s anger from me.”
He would see if the Bai family had the courage to lay a finger on Chen Chen!
Sure enough, at midnight, Chen Chen developed a fever. The doctors got busy and moved in and out of the ward. Jiang Rui wanted to go in, but was kicked out by Boss Wan. He had to hide in the corner to watch the surveillance video secretly.
“Chief Jiang,” the doctor whispered, “it’s over, her fever is gone.”
Jiang Rui breathed a sigh of relief. “Is she still in danger now?”
“She should be fine.” The doctor also breathed a sigh of relief. “All she needs to do now is to recover from her wound.”
It was silent again in the corridor, and a pair of little hands held him.
“Dad!” Tuan Zi looked at him pitifully, and Jiang Rui smiled and held his daughter in his arms. “Sorry, it’s my fault.”
Tuan Zi held onto Jiang Rui’s neck to comfort him. “It’s not your fault because you didn’t know it was Mom.”
Jiang Rui believed that something should be made known to Tuan Zi. “Have you seen your grandparents?”
“Yeah, they all like Tuan Zi, including Uncle Wan!”
“Maybe Dad will not be able to stay with Mom for a while. Can you help me take care of her?”
Tuan Zi was very grieved. “Don’t you want Mom and me?”
“Of course I do!” Jiang Rui kissed his daughter’s face. “Dad made a mistake, and Grandpa will punish me. When I correct my mistakes, I will pick up your mom and you, OK?”
Tuan Zi didn’t quite understand what was happening between her elders, so she rolled her eyes and said, “Daddy, don’t worry! I’ll ask my grandfather not to be angry with you!”
Xin Qing and Chen Huan were hiding behind the door and listening to the conversation between father and daughter.
“How about having Boss Wan beat up Xiao Rui?” Xin Qing suggested. “Anyway, Chen Chen and Jiang Rui will not break up.”
With red and swollen eyes, Chen Huan said angrily, “Why will they not break up? They can try to divorce!”
“What I’m going to say is not for Xiao Rui’s sake. If Liuliu likes him, she would be sad if you asked her to separate from him.”
“Anyway, he can’t be allowed to see Liuliu.” Chen Huan began to cry again. “My poor daughter, when she’s fine, I’ll take her home.”
Xin Qing dared not persuade her; after all, it was Jiang Rui that had injured Liuliu. And she was also worried that if Liuliu didn’t forgive Xiao Rui, their relationship would never stand a chance.
The next morning, Jiang Min and Jiang Qianren arrived. It was the first time that Jiang Qianren dared not argue with Boss Wan and stood behind Jiang Min in dejection.
“It’s totally Xiao Rui’s fault this time.” Jiang Min looked at Boss Wan. “I didn’t expect us to be in-laws.”
Boss Wan said coldly, “Whether or not we are in-laws remains unclear. Senior General, you are so polite.”
Jiang Min sighed. “I quite like Chen Chen. When she wakes up, you can beat Xiao Rui up, or you can ask him to kneel down to apologize. I will have no objection. Just don’t make them break up, and you should also take Tuan Zi into account!”
“Uncle Jiang, it’s all right. Don’t worry!” Xin Qing invited Jiang Min out. Jiang Rui was still sitting in the corridor; he had not shaved throughout the night, looking slovenly. Jiang Qianren glared at him and said, “Don’t sit still; do you think you are a robot?”
Jiang Rui stood up. “Grandpa, Uncle, I am sorry for all the trouble.”
“You can rest assured about the troops.” Jiang Min looked at him. “No one can lay a finger on your soldiers.”
“Okay.” Jiang Rui nodded. “I’ll return to get right on it when Chen Chen wakes up.”
Jiang Qianren waved his hands indifferently. “I have sent the armed forces out to perform a military maneuver, and they have no time to pay attention to you for the time being. According to what we have said before, the news that Chen Chen is exactly Hei Feng has been blocked.” He got close to Jiang Rui and whispered, “If there is really someone who is bold enough to investigate into Chen Chen, the Wan family naturally will fix it.”
He patted Jiang Rui on the shoulder. “When Chen Chen wakes up, no matter how they punish you, don’t say no. Do you understand?” He deliberately said it so loud so that everyone in the ward could hear it.
“I will.” Jiang Rui saw them off and returned to the door of the ward. Xin Qing pulled him into the ward next door, saying, “Go clean yourself up and take a nap. I will call you when Liuliu wakes up.”
Jiang Rui never said no to Xin Qing, and he obediently washed and shaved his face. Watching him fall asleep, Xin Qing left. As soon as she closed the door, the man lying on the bed opened his eyes. Jiang Rui took out his phone and looked at the surveillance video.
On the screen, Boss Wan was persuading Chen Huan to take a rest, and later Ying Qingcang drove both of them out of the ward. When Ying Qingcang stayed in the ward alone, he suddenly glanced at the camera.
Jiang Rui jumped up and rushed into the ward next door.
“10 minutes for you. It will be Xunxun’s turn soon.” Ying Qingcang walked past him.
Jiang Rui suddenly turned around and said, “Dad! Thank you.”
“You are my son. Don’t mention it.” Ying Qingcang closed the door.
It was the first time in his life that Jiang Rui had called him dad. He had thought that Ying Qingcang acknowledged him only for the sake of Xin Qing. But today, he learned that the man had always regarded himself as his son.
Someone gave all his love to only one person, while poorly expressing his feelings to others. But it didn’t mean that he did not consider them as his family. On the contrary, he also cared about him.
Jiang Rui smiled and sat down next to Chen Chen.
“I’m sorry!” Holding Chen Chen’s hand in his palm, Jiang Rui slowly said, “I didn’t recognize you as Liuliu.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been so conceited to think that I like you just a little bit.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been so selfish to sacrifice others for my own desires.”
Jiang Rui’s eyes gradually welled up with tears, and he rubbed Chen Chen’s cheek. “Could you please forgive me? I won’t say that you’re stupid anymore. You’re not stupid at all! I’m the stupid person.”
He carefully outlined Chen Chen’s face with his hands, trying to remember her appearance in his mind. In the quiet ward, one strong breathing sound and one weak breathing sound converged into the same frequency gradually, creating a beautiful and quiet atmosphere.
Until there was a knock on the door.
“Time’s up.” Ying Qingcang reminded him.
Jiang Rui stood up and kissed Chen Chen’s lips. “Wake up quickly, I have a lot to say to you!” Then he turned around and strode away because he was afraid that if he hesitated, he wouldn’t be able to keep himself from staying.
Xin Qing was also at the door, who showed a helpless smile upon seeing him. “Can you go take a rest now?”
“I’ll go right away.” Jiang Rui walked into the ward next door, lying down and then putting his phone on the pillow. On the screen, Chen Chen was still unconscious, and he touched the screen and closed his eyes.
Jiang Rui failed to have a sound sleep. He suddenly woke up, looking at his watch and finding that it was just two hours later. The first thing he did was look at his cell phone to find that Wan Qingsi was sitting by the bed. Then he saw Bear stealthily open the door and poke his head into the ward.
“Come in.” Jiang Rui got up and went into the bathroom to wash his face.
Bear said with hesitation, “Boss, Ah Zi clamored to see you.”
“Bring her in.” Jiang Rui put on his coat and sat on the sofa. Then he saw the bruises on Bear’s face. “Did she hit you?”
With a bang, the door was opened, and Ah Zi was carrying a chair and rushed in, throwing it hard onto Jiang Rui’s head.
