Bai Weirong remembered clearly that she had had sex with Lu Tao and she was the one who took the first step.
“Weirong, are you all right?” Lu Tao held her with his eyes filled with worries and regret. “Sorry, I should have sent you to the hospital.”
Last night, Lu Tao firstly thought she would be okay after a cold shower, but it didn’t help her because the drug was too strong. Later, Bai Weirong voluntarily begged him to have sex with her. Lu Tao knew she had been under the control of the drug. So now he was worried about her feelings.
“Are you regretful about that?” Seeing him hesitating, Bai Weirong asked sullenly.
“I regret that I have hurt you…” Lu Tao massaged on her waist with his hands, “Last night was your first time. But I had you for too long. I’m afraid it may be too much for your body.”
Bai Weirong’s eyes became red, “I know it was not your fault. It’s me…” She leaned over to shed her tears.
In fact, she was not a virgin a long time ago. When she came back to the homeland, she recovered her hymen because she wanted to marry Jiang Rui.
Lu Tao hugged her from behind, “Weirong, I will take the responsibility. If you agree, we can claim our proposal to the outside right away now that both of our families are preparing for our marriage and waiting for us to agree to that.”
But until then, Bai Weirong was still hesitating. She shook her head, “Please give me some more time to think about it.”
Behind her, the man’s eyes showed a sign of ferocity but he still said gently, “Okay, I’ll take a shower then.”
However, from outside the door came a bang and then a group of people rushed in. The one who stood on the front was a fat woman and a lot of journalists followed her in.
“Where is the mistress? Damn, I will teach you the consequence of cheating!” The fat woman ran to the bedside to uncover the quilt but she stopped when she saw Lu Tao’s face. “Who are you?”
Bai Weirong had screamed and hid herself in the quilt. Lu Tao covered his body with a bath towel and jumped out of bed. He pushed the journalists before he had time to deal with the woman. “No photos.”
“Mr. Lu?” Someone recognized him.
The fat woman’s expression changed. “Ah, we’re mistaken? This isn’t 803?”
Then another woman ran in shouting to her, “Sis, you went wrong. This is 805!”
“I’m sorry! Sorry!” The fat woman left with shame. But the journalists didn’t leave. Instead, they were still shooting photos of the bed with much interest.
Lu Tao calmed down now. He took out a few banknotes and handed to them, “Everyone, please. This is my fiancee and what you did will embarrass her.”
Hearing those words, though the reporters still wanted to photograph them, they didn’t dare to mess with the Lu family. So they just took the money and left. After they were all gone, Bai Weirong sat up from the bed angrily, “Where is that fat bitch from? I’ll ask someone to teach her a lesson!”
“All right, all right. You should take a shower first and then we can leave as fast as we can.”
When they left the hotel, Bai Weirong insisted on leaving from the back door.
“What if the journalists are still blocking the gate?”
Lu Tao thought for a minute and said, “Then they must be at the back door and it’s safer for us to go through the front door.”
Bai Weirong didn’t agree. “They must be at the front door. We should leave from the back door.”
“Okay.” Lu Tao saw her so insistent so he stopped his words. Then when they walked out from the back door, they were surrounded by journalists and Bai Weirong’s face was photographed clearly.
That night, all the newspapers and websites covered reports about the marriage between the Lu family and the Bai family. The journalists even reported warmly that the emotions between Lu Tao and Bai Weirong rapidly arose to a new level and they even went to a hotel and shared one room. Below, photos were attached to the reports.
Bai Kai was so angry that he brought Bai Weirong home and let her claim her innocence to Old Master Bai herself.
“Well, they are going to get married, anyway. Though it may not be nice being reported like that, you can completely cut off your affections for Jiang Rui.” Bai Qi looked at her. “Since then, you should behave yourself and you’ll be engaged next week.”
Bai Weirong tearfully went back to her room and called Lu Tao instantly.
“Lu Tao, my grandpa said that we shall get engaged next week.”
“I know, my mother told me.” Lu Tao sounded difficult, “Weirong, now we have no other choice but get engaged.”
Bai Weirong didn’t agree, “You will compromise to that? Let me tell you. I like Jiang Rui so I won’t marry you.”
“Weirong.” Lu Tao was annoyed too. “You should be clear that I am forced, too. So if you can persuade them to cancel the marriage, I’ll be glad too.”
“You…”
Hearing Bai Weirong crying so sadly, Lu Tao sighed, “Weirong, it’s just an engagement. Besides, if we really get married, I’ll never treat you badly. I’ll take good care of you.”
“I shall stop here. You can think about it yourself.” Then he hung up.
Bai Weirong sat still alone and didn’t move for quite a while…
Two days later, Chen Chen learned about the engagement between the Lu family and the Bai family when she was watching the news.
“She doesn’t like you anymore!”
Jiang Rui frowned. “You feel pitiful about that?”
“I think you two will be a great match!” Chen Chen took a bite on a chicken paw and continued, “Brother Xiao Rui, don’t you have someone that you like? Bai Weirong is quite pretty. Um, but she seems to be stupid and she has scolded Tuan Zi and me.”
“You remember that well…” Jiang Rui said angrily, “Who let you eat that oily stuff in the morning?”
Chen Chen stared at him for a while and then her eyes shone, “You actually like that Bai Weirong! You’re angry that she got engaged!”
Jiang Rui suppressed the urge to strangle her. Then he stood up to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.
“Let me do it.” Chen Chen pressed on his hands, “You’ve been dumped today. I will do it.”
Jiang Rui put the bowls down heavily, “Chen Chen, I shall tell you again that I don’t like that kind of stupid girl.”
Chen Chen looked at him. “Really?”
“Yes.”
“Then who do you like?”
“I…” Jiang Rui closed his eyes and made a decision. “I like you!”
Chen Chen stopped for three seconds and then laughed out loud. “Haha, Brother Xiao Rui, don’t be kidding. How is that possible?”
Jiang Rui looked at her and clenched his fists. At last, he just pinched her nose, “Yeah, I was kidding. I really don’t have a loved one. Besides, think about it, what will you and Tuan Zi do if I have a beloved girl?”
“Tuan Zi…” Chen Chen thought of her daughter.
“Don’t worry. You, Tuan Zi, and I should be together and we’ll never leave each other, okay?” Seeing Chen Chen still in confusion, Jiang Rui said, “You want me to take Tuan Zi to live with another woman?”
Chen Chen shook her head, “No, Tuan Zi can only live with me!”
“Yes. I’m Tuan Zi’s father, so she has to live with me too. Therefore, you should keep it in mind that the three of us should be together from now on and stop thinking ridiculously, okay?”
Chen Chen was confused by his words and promised that the three of them should be together forever.
Bai Ziqi and Scar went back.
“Master, Scar’s was shot in the left shoulder.” When he arrived in the troops, Bear was holding Scar out.
Scar laughed to him, “I have just finished my report and I want a vacation!”
Jiang Rui revealed a rare smile. “Leave as fast as you can!”
As he expected, Bai Ziqi was transferred to another position because he captured the head of a group of terrorists when they destroyed a base. But Scar was shot when covering him up.
“Officer Jiang!” After the meeting, Bai Ziqi went up to him. “Thank you.”
Jiang Rui looked at him, “There is no reason for you to thank me. I’m not the one who covered you up.”
“I know that you sent Scar to protect me. But for him, the bullet would have penetrated my heart.” Bai Ziqi stepped backward and bowed to him, “I used to be stupid. So please forgive me if I have offended you.”
“It’s no big deal.” Jiang Rui turned around and just left one sentence behind. “Hope your teammate will not have to ward off bullets for you in the future.”
Bai Ziqi saw him leave and opened his mouth after a while. “I promise!”
Before the National Day, Jiang Rui received the invitation card from the Bai family and the Lu family.
“They are really efficient. They make the preparation for the engagement as soon as Bai Ziqi went back.” Bear threw the invitation into the dustbin.
Scar was doing pushups to exercise his shoulders which hadn’t moved in a month, “If they were not waiting for Bai Ziqi, it may be earlier. Master, should we go?”
“Why not?” Jiang Rui looked at him. “How do you think of Bai Ziqi?”
Scar thought for a second and said, “He was arrogant at first, but then he made a few mistakes and caused a buddy to get hurt. Then he became much better. When he was working, he was very tough and didn’t care about his life.”
“It seems that it’s effective to lock him up for a month.” Bear frowned. “Damn, I thought he was useless. But now he seems to be a kind of talent. It’s a pity that he is not one of us.”
Jiang Rui leaned against the chair, “It doesn’t matter. What matters is what he wants. He won’t do anything at present and the Bai family won’t let him move too fast. Anyway, it’s not like every time he is in danger, there will be someone to take the bullet for him.”
“So we can just forget about him?” Bear was relieved, “Master, please ask sister for me who the net pal that Ah Zi is going to meet at the National Day is. I feel very anxious!”
When Chen Chen knew Ah Zi was to meet a net friend, she was worried too. She wanted to go with Ah Zi.
“You can’t go.” Ah Zi refused her.
“Why?” Chen Chen stared. “If that is a bad person, you’ll be in danger.”
It would be dangerous if I brought you along… If Jiang Rui knew she took Chen Chen to meet a strange net pal, he would strangle her to death.
“Don’t worry. I told him to meet at the Xinghai Plaza.” Ah Zi guaranteed. “If there is anything wrong, I’ll call for help.”
On the day, Ah Zi arrived at the plaza on time but she just saw Bear smiling to her foolishly by the fountain.
“Ah Zi, it’s such a coincidence. You are here to have fun too?”
“Hehehe…” Ah Zi looked at him with a cold smile. “Stop pretending. Just tell me, why are you here?”
Bear answered seriously, “I’m here to jog.”
“You jog at noon?” Ah Zi kicked him. “You’re following me! Go to hell!”
“I’m not. I’m just worried you may be fooled!”
“You’re the biggest liar!” Ah Zi kicked him again. “Damn it! What are you doing here?”
Bear was about to confess his love when they got interrupted.
“Excuse me… are you Purple Lolita?”
Ah Zi and Bear turned around at the same time and saw a young man standing there and smiling to them with his head tilted.
Fuck! Ah Zi was shocked inside. It was a cute guy!
