Chapter 285: Deception is Deception
Ye Rou was so sleepy that she kept yawning and had no idea what was wrong with Jiang Chen.
"I'm safe here. The Qu family won't hurt me. It's time to go to bed, Jiang Chen."
The last sentence was filled with resentment.
Jiang Chen gathered her long, smooth hair that was draped behind her and put it on the other side. He buried his face in the crook of her shoulder, letting the tip of his nose smell of her delicate fragrance. He said lazily, "Go to sleep. I'll hold you."
Ye Rou was slightly stunned. Jiang Chen held her whole body in his arms, on his thighs. How could she sleep in this position?
She struggled to get down, but Jiang Chen wrapped her whole body up, making her unable to move at all.
Ye Rou grunted and struggled for a long time, like a little turtle that was trapped by its heavy shell and couldn't turn over. She was so tired that she was panting and made Jiang Chen laugh.
Hearing Jiang Chen laughing at her, Ye Rou pinched him and banged her head on his shoulder. She stopped struggling and her breathing gradually became steady.
Jiang Chen waited for a while before whispering, "Wife, if someone cheats on you, you..."
"Who lied to me?" Ye Rou suddenly became alert, straightened her shoulders, and her fox eyes widened slightly with vigilance.
She had originally felt that Jiang Chen was a little strange recently, and now after hearing him say this, the strange feeling increased dramatically.
Ye Rou's sleepiness faded away, she raised her head and pinched Jiang Chen's face.
Jiang Chen didn't have much flesh on his face, and the flesh on his cheeks was pushed towards the middle. He didn't look cute at all, but rather like a tiger taking a nap, which was dangerous.
Ye Rou asked fiercely, "What did you lie to me about?"
The little white fox came in front of the ferocious tiger. Its head was not even as big as one of the tiger's paws. It jumped up and down, which made it even more adorable.
Jiang Chen's face was pushed by Ye Rou, and his voice was a little unclear: "What kind of deception can you least accept?"
He seemed to be asking casually, but in fact his fists were clenched tightly due to nervousness.
"You're lying in the name of doing it for my own good." Ye Rou let go of him, her hand naturally resting on his shoulder.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked.
"Why?"
Ye Rou said slowly, "Some lies are well-intentioned, because the deceived person cannot bear the truth, so the deceiver chooses to lie."
Ye Rou was a doctor in her previous life and was used to seeing all kinds of life.
The degree to which family members and doctors disclose information about the condition of patients with strong tolerance and those with average tolerance is different. This is also because they are afraid that the patient's bad mentality will affect subsequent treatment.
"But deception is deception. Even if his intentions were good, I cannot accept it because he deprived me of the right to know everything and made decisions for me without informing me."
Jiang Chen's expression changed several times. After a long while, he finally said dryly, "If someone has done something wrong, what will you do to him?"
Ye Rou rolled her eyes and said directly: "Then I will never pay attention to him again."
Jiang Chen's body stiffened, and his expression immediately became bitter and subtle.
Ye Rou made a classic Conan pose, squinting at Jiang Chen, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Jiang Chen subconsciously denied it.
"No."
As a gangster who was reborn and turned evil, Jiang Chen should have been the best liar, but facing Ye Rou, all his words were stuck in his throat.
When he thought that Ye Rou would never pay attention to him again, he subconsciously chose to deny it.
Jiang Chen didn't know that the guilty look on his face had betrayed him, especially for Ye Rou, who had learned micro-expression analysis.
There were four big words clearly written on his face: I'm lying.
Ye Rou's sleepiness faded. She placed her hands on Jiang Chen's chest, pushed him away, and said sternly, "Comrade Jiang Chen, if you confess, you will be treated leniently. If you resist, you will be treated severely."
The short, thick black pointer slowly pointed to the number two. The bright moon hung in the sky, and everything was quiet and peaceful.
Jiang Chen subconsciously reached out to block Ye Rou's clear and bright eyes and said nervously, "Let's go to bed."
"I'm sleepy."
He stood up easily holding Ye Rou, tucked her into the quilt and got in himself.
Ye Rou was not sleepy now. She just wanted to know what Jiang Chen had hidden from her.
The quilt covered her head and her vision was dark. She struggled to get out of the quilt.
Jiang Chen used his long arms and legs to tightly bind Mao Mao Chong Rou, preventing her from moving. He patted the quilt with his big hands and coaxed her, "Go to sleep quickly."
“…”
It is too much to wake up someone who is sleeping soundly and let her continue sleeping.
Ye Rou muttered and cursed Jiang Chen for a long time, until her voice gradually became unclear. Sleepiness came over her again, and she fell into a deep sleep, unconscious.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes and stared at his wife in his arms.
Under the bright moonlight, her face looked even more beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes were soft, and her thick eyelashes covered her eyes, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
In the quiet and spacious bedroom, a long sigh was heard from a man after a while.
——
Ye Rou sat in the passenger seat, squinting at a man next to her who insisted on following her.
Jiang Chen drove the car with his shoulders and back stiff.
Liu Yutang sat in the back seat, his eyes moving between the two people.
Suspiciously, he asked, "Did you two have a fight?"
Jiang Chen immediately denied it: "No."
Ye Rouze said: "Just because there is none now doesn't mean there won't be any in the future."
She stopped looking at Jiang Chen and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window.
The big hands holding the steering wheel were tense, veins bulging.
Seeing that his young disciple was angry, Liu Yutang was afraid that innocent people would be implicated, so he shut up and stopped asking curious questions.
This little girl usually looks good-tempered and gentle, but when she is really angry, no one can comfort her.
Jiang Chen's mood became even more complicated.
If you stick your head out, you will get a knife; if you keep your head down, you will get a knife as well. It is really like riding a tiger and being caught in a dilemma.
In this strange atmosphere, the jeep with three people stopped at the door of the guesthouse.
"302." Liu Yutang informed the room number and the three of them went upstairs.
The door was half-open. Liu Yutang knocked on it and immediately heard a voice from inside saying, "Come in."
"Senior Brother!" Liu Yutang pushed open the door and greeted with a smile.
Ye Rou followed him in and felt a little sad when she saw her uncle.
Liu Chuntang was older than his two fellow apprentices, and his health was getting worse day by day. He took a three-day train ride to Beijing, and his bones were all broken from the exhaustion. He had lost a lot of weight and looked very weak.
"Master." Ye Rou greeted.
Liu Chuntang smiled and nodded, praising Ye Rou: "Xiao Rou is here. Your senior brother told me about it. It's all thanks to you this time."
If Ye Rou had not accidentally cured the old leader and exposed Liu Jintang's true face, this villain's good days would not have ended so soon.
Ye Rou blushed at the praise from her uncle-master. When she heard him mention Senior Brother Liu, she asked, "Is Senior Brother Liu not here?"
Liu Chuntang: "He went to see his classmates."
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Liu Hua was not there.
He moved a chair for Old Liu and Ye Rou to sit down.
After Liu Yutang sat down, he asked curiously, "Xiaohua is almost 24, why hasn't he married yet?"
People get married early at that time, and it is indeed late if you are not married at the age of 24.
"He gets angry when this is mentioned." Liu Chuntang said unhappily, "He's so obsessed with finding true love. I've introduced him to so many good girls, but he doesn't like any of them and won't settle."
Liu Yutang comforted his brother, "Children nowadays are like this. This time is different from our past. It's peaceful now, and children have more opportunities to choose. Take your time and don't rush them."
Liu Chuntang sighed, "Liu Jintang got the punishment he deserved, I have no regrets. Xiaohua started a family and had a child, and I can be at ease when I leave."
Seeing his senior brother's dejection, Liu Yutang quickly joked, "I see you're not anxious for Xiaohua to get married and start a family, you just want to have a great-grandson."
Liu Chuntang said with a smile: "It would be best if it's a girl, like Ye Yatou."
"You wish." Liu Yutang laughed at him.
Liu Chuntang stroked his white beard and his eyes fell on Jiang Chen and Ye Rou. The two children standing together were really a perfect match, and their future children would definitely be even more handsome.
"You two are planning to..."
He was halfway through his words when he met Jiang Chen's dark eyes. He suddenly remembered that this kid had sealed his meridians and he would never be able to have children in this life.
He paused, stiffly changed the subject and asked, "Xiao Rou, school is about to start, right?"
The change of topic was too abrupt, and Ye Rou became suspicious.
She didn't answer, but looked between the three of them and asked, "Uncle Master, do you know Jiang Chen?"
Liu Yutang's heart skipped a beat and he winked at his senior brother frantically.
Jiang Chen stood behind Ye Rou, so nervous that he held his breath slightly.
Liu Chuntang said dryly, "I met him once in town. Your master told me about him."
He is almost eighty years old, and his white beard is sticking up in anxiety because of trying to cover up the lie for the younger generation.
Ye Rou didn't know whether there was a letter or not, so she squinted her eyes and said "oh".
Liu Chuntang was not in good spirits and showed signs of fatigue after just a short chat.
The three people didn't want to disturb his rest, so they stood up and said goodbye.
Jiang Chen felt that he had passed this level and just breathed a sigh of relief when he went out and ran into Liu Hua who was returning.
