Chen Chen was pulling her hair again.
She woke up in the morning and found herself naked again on the bed. Fortunately, Jiang Rui was not beside her that time.
She fell asleep while being massaged the night before, without knowing why she was lying on the bed at the moment. At the thought that Jiang Rui saw her almost in the nude, Chen Chen would…
“No!” She screamed.
Jiang Rui was shocked while he was making breakfast. “Are you awake?” The man leaned against one side of the doorway.
Chen Chen tightly wrapped herself in the sheet. “Well, Brother Xiao Rui, I fell asleep yesterday. Right?”
“Good.” Jiang Rui raised the corner of his mouth. “It proves that I am quite skilled in doing massage. Get up. Breakfast is ready.”
He would never tell that while Chen Chen was asleep, he kissed all over her body again.
Chen Chen wrapped herself in the sheet, running into the bathroom and changing clothes. When putting on her trousers, she found a few red bruise-like marks on her inner thighs, seemingly terrible. She touched the marks in a daze, and having seen some pornographic videos from an island country with Ah Zi before, she knew clearly what they were.
But… But why did such marks appear on her inner thighs? Chen Chen never dared to think that they were hickeys made by Jiang Rui. She trembled with fear and dressed herself. When she came into the dining room, she saw the fried ham and eggs as well as a glass of milk on the table.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Rui found that there was something wrong with her look, and reached out to touch her forehead.
However, Chen Chen jumped up and avoided his hand. “I’m okay! I’m okay!”
Jiang Rui frowned and sat her down. “Let’s eat.”
“Brother Xiao Rui…” Poking the eggs, Chen Chen blinked and stared at him.
“Just say what you want to say.” Jiang Rui peeled an orange and handed it to her. “Otherwise, refraining from speaking those words will make you sick.”
Chen Chen looked down at the orange and whispered, “I have a few reddish bruises on my body…”
Jiang Rui paused picking up food with the fork, saying to himself, “Oh no. I could not restrain myself at all yesterday, failing to control the strength. But the marks should be left on…” He asked Chen Chen demurely, “Red bruises? Where?”
“On… On…” Chen Chen couldn’t tell him frankly.
Jiang Rui got it, coughing and saying, “It’s my first time to give a massage, so I failed to control my strength. I will be careful next time.”
“What?” Chen Chen was shocked, staring at him for a moment. “It was because of the massage?”
“What else?” Jiang Rui raised his eyebrow. “Do you think that it was because of me pinching?”
Chen Chen quickly showed a flattering smile. “No, no, no! Absolutely not! Let’s stop talking about this. Come on. Let’s eat!” She bowed her head and ate sausage, failing to notice Jiang Rui’s meaningful smile.
No wonder that girl was deceived so easily. She never imagined that Jiang Rui was a person who would tell such a lie to her. Chen Chen didn’t know that every man would be indecent in the face of the woman they loved.
“Where do you want to hang out today?” Jiang Rui changed the topic.
Chen Chen thought for a while and said, “Skydiving?”
“Aren’t you afraid?” Jiang Rui smiled. “Alright, I’ll be with you anyway.”
They got themselves ready and set off. When passing by the dock, Chen Chen heard someone calling her.
“Brother Xiao Rui, I may be hallucinating.” She tilted her head. “I heard someone call me.”
With his eyes were fixed somewhere, Jiang Rui became gloomy and said, “Yes, it’s true.”
“Chen Chen!”
She could hear it clearly just then.
“Ah Zi?” Turning around, Chen Chen saw Ah Zi running towards her in a vest and shorts. Behind her, Bear, Scar and Xiao Si were grinning.
Jiang Rui was about to pull Chen Chen away, when Ah Zi held her at once. “Well, it’s New Year’s Eve today. We don’t want you two to be alone on the island, so we came here to accompany you! Are you happy? Are you moved?”
“Boss, it has nothing to do with me. It was Bear who forced me here.” Xiao Si ran over and revealed the person who should be blamed, while Scar immediately added, “He dared not refuse Ah Zi. Nor did he have the courage to come with Ah Zi alone, so he forced us to get on the plane at gunpoint.”
Chen Chen and Ah Zi were hugging each other while laughing.
“Great! With you, I will have a better time today. There will be fireworks tonight!” Chen Chen happily held Ah Zi and looked quite excited.
Ah Zi stared at her for a long time. “Chen Chen, I think you look prettier than before.”
“Really?” Chen Chen touched her own face, and said proudly, “I’m going to be physically mature!”
Immediately, Bear said flatteringly, “Wearing lovers’ clothes, Mrs. Jiang looks more beautiful. Boss has a really good taste!”
Jiang Rui glanced at them. “Go make arrangements for your lodging. I’m going to take Liuliu to go skydiving. Let’s eat together at noon.”
“I’m going too!” Ah Zi became excited upon hearing that they were going skydiving. Bear longingly glared at Chen Chen. And then Chen Chen longingly glared at Jiang Rui, only to find that Jiang Rui’s face suddenly clouded over. “Did you bring her here?”
He looked over Scar’s shoulder. After Chen Chen turned her head, she opened her eyes widely.
Han Xueying? Why… Why was she here?
“Boss.” Scar said meaningfully, “We met her at the airport.”
Han Xueying hid behind Scar restlessly. She was robbed at the airport, and it was Scar that helped her catch the thief and get her things back. She noticed that there was something in Scar’s eyes when he looked her way. Obviously, the man was fascinated by her.
So she took the opportunity to talk about her experience. Then, Scar invited her to join them, but Han Xueying did not expect them to be Jiang Rui’s men. At the moment she was in a panic, being afraid that Jiang Rui might unmask her.
“Do you know her?” Ah Zi noticed that there was something wrong with Chen Chen’s looks. She curled her lips and said, “Scar said that she was poor and that he had to bring her here.”
What a sight! It was clear that he took a fancy to the woman!
Ah Zi looked at Scar with obvious contempt, and the latter smiled bitterly. “Go ahead! We’ll make arrangements for our stay first.” After finishing those words, he took a look at Han Xueying. She lowered her head and scurried away to follow him.
“Boss…” Xiao Si still wanted to say something.
Bear interrupted him. “We’ll talk about it later. Let’s go!” After that, he winked at Xiao Si, and Xiao Si nodded and left.
“Why did you bring that woman here?” Chen Chen said indignantly, “It was awful that she framed us!”
Then Chen Chen talked about what Han Xueying had done. Ah Zi gave Bear a punch and said, “Did you hear Chen Chen? What did I say? I knew the woman was bad at first sight. But you can’t even walk when you see a beautiful woman. By the way, what a bad taste Scar has!”
“Ah Zi,” Bear held her and asked, “Don’t you think that woman looks familiar?”
“No!” Ah zi swore. “Don’t tell me she’s the first girl you loved years ago.”
Bear could neither laugh nor cry. “You’re really the first girl I’ve ever loved!” After finishing that, he kissed Ah Zi. Ah Zi refrained from smiling, saying shamelessly, “I’ll sit on you tonight.”
“Okay!” Bear was visibly pleased. After all, any sex position would please him.
Chen Chen looked at them with much surprise. “You… You…”
“We’re married!” Ah Zi took out her cell phone. “Look, marriage certificates!”
Bear found that Jiang Rui’s face clouded over, quickly stopping Ah Zi from flaunting their marriage. Chen Chen didn’t know Bear’s thought, still saying, “You’re too much. Why didn’t you inform me of that before? What about the wedding?”
Ah Zi and Bear took a look at each other. “Before Jiang Rui gets you, we are afraid to have a wedding…”
“What the hell is wrong with that woman?” Jiang Rui glanced coldly at Bear, feeling so jealous that he had not had sex with Chen Chen for so long, whereas Bear was discussing positions with Ah Zi.
A man would know another man. Bear knew what Jiang Rui was thinking, and was instantly trying to shift his focus. “Don’t you think that she looks a bit like Long Zhen’ao?”
Jiang Rui looked at Chen Chen. He didn’t even notice what that guy looked like. Chen Chen shook her head blankly. “I can’t see it!”
“Well… she actually looked a bit like Long.” Ah Zi thought for a moment and said, “Especially in terms of her eyes and brows. After thinking it over, I feel that she really resembles Long.”
“She has some sort of relation with Long Zhen’ao?” Jiang Rui frowned. “Nothing, except for the greed and vanity, is around that woman.”
Bear nodded. “When Xiao Si made an investigation before, he noticed that Long’s mother gave birth to twins, but the baby girl died at birth.” He paused and said, “Scar said that Long’s younger sister may not have died. Maybe she was lost or had an accident.”
“Long Zhen’ao and Han Xueying should not be aware of each other.” Bear added, “Scar suspected that she was Long’s sister on seeing her at first sight, so we brought her here.”
Chen Chen and Ah Zi quieted down.
“Take her away. Don’t let her interfere with my vacation.” Jiang Rui became gloomier after listening to Bear’s words.
He could rarely take a vacation. He didn’t want to pay attention to those problems at all. He had planned to have sex with Chen Chen there…
“So, do we need to be friendlier to her?” Chen Chen felt that they were cajoling the enemy that way.
Bear shook his head. “Just as usual. It would be enough to sacrifice Scar alone. She thinks that Scar took a fancy to her.”
Seeing Jiang Rui still looking gloomy, Bear winked at Chen Chen.
“Brother Xiao Rui!” Chen Chen understood him, holding Jiang Rui’s arm immediately. “If we kick her away now, it will be difficult to find her later. Besides, what if Long Zhen’ao is aware of her? And what if this is his another trick? As you said, placing our enemy under our nose is the best way to keep us safe, right?”
Jiang Rui glanced at her, and seeing her bright eyes, he felt much more comfortable. “Let’s go skydiving!”
When all four people returned at noon, Scar and Xiao Si were already waiting in a western restaurant with live music by the sea. Han Xueying was seated and stood up nervously when she saw Jiang Rui coming in.
“I… I have something to say,” said Han Xueying, after everyone sat down. It seemed that she was quite determined.
Jiang Rui did not speak. Scar coughed and said, “Go ahead!”
“I was sold and sent to the United States by human traffickers when I was very young. Later, I immigrated to England with a restaurant owner. Five years ago, I met my current boss, who took me away from the restaurant and taught me a lot of things. Then, he arranged for me to encounter his younger brother.”
Han Xueying glanced at everyone, and got somewhat disappointed when she saw no reaction from them. Even Chen Chen and Ah Zi looked at her without compassion in their eyes. She clenched her fist and added, “My task was to kill his younger brother. After that, I would be free.”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to frame you.” Han Xueying started to cry. “My boss said that I couldn’t afford to offend you, so I had to leave. I didn’t expect to encounter Scar. I… I’m really not a bad woman. My life made me what I am.”
