Chapter 36 White Moonlight's Substitute (36)

It was already dark when we left the police station.

Not far away, the woman holding the child kept thanking the man who saved her mother and daughter.

Everyone had almost left, and Jiang Lai hadn't waited for the passing taxi yet.

"If you don't mind, take my car and go."

The man walked over, took off his mask and smiled gently at Jiang Lai.

Seeing him for the first time, Jiang Lai's brows raised slightly inaudibly.

"Then trouble you."

"No trouble, you saved my life today, and I don't know how to repay you."

"I promise you with your body."

Jiang Lai said this out of the blue, and the man who said it froze on the spot, a look of astonishment flashed across his eyes.

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding, we can still meet fellow villagers in a foreign country, and we are quite destined."

"Yes, I don't know what Miss's last name is."

"Oh, my name is Jiang Lai, where are you?"

"My surname is Xiao, Xiao Jun."

Jiang Lai smiled.

"Sounds familiar."

Xiao Juan's face froze, before he could figure out how to deal with it, he heard Jiang Lai say something again with a smile on his face.

"My ex-boyfriend's name is also two words, no wonder it sounds familiar."

"That's because Miss Jiang's ex-boyfriend is out of luck."

Talking about this, Jiang Lai's attitude became a lot colder, and he didn't say much from the time he got in the car to the hotel.

Xiao Jun sent her off the car.

"Is Miss Jiang free tomorrow?"

"I've been fine for a few days, are you okay?"

"I would like to invite you to have a meal together."

Jiang Lai thought about it and nodded.

"Okay, I just happen to be idle when I'm alone."

"Miss Jiang is here to travel?"

"Talk about work, and have fun after it's over."

Xiao Juan nodded, watched Jiang Lai walk into the hotel, then turned back to the car.

The assistant on the side handed him a video to watch.

"This is the monitoring playback of the scene. This Miss Jiang is unusual. She has such means and speed. At that time, if there was half a second of hesitation or deviation, she might die."

Watching the video, the thin woman grabbed the gun against his chest without hesitation. Even if he just watched the replay, he could still clearly feel the tension that was close to suffocation.

He never expected that Jiang Lai would become his savior.

What's more, I didn't expect that this vanity-loving woman would have such courage and courage.

The reason why he dared to stand up to protect the mother and daughter was because he was sure that the bodyguards who had been hiding in the dark would shoot the robbers headshot at any time.

And what about her?
Why did she stand up and risk her life to protect a stranger like him?
"Boss, you encountered such a dangerous situation on this trip, do you want to cancel the next trip?"

"No, just send a few more plainclothes bodyguards to follow."

The next day, Xiao Juan made an appointment with Jiang Lai to a famous restaurant. Facing a blue lake, the breeze was blowing and the sun was just in time. Xiao Juan, who was sitting opposite, was wearing a white shirt, looking gentle and elegant, gentle and polite.

Jiang Lai, who was facing him, was different, in a red floral suspender dress, with loose thick hair curled into big and charming waves, flying randomly with the wind and waves.

This was the first time for Xiao Jun to observe Jiang Lai up close.

He found that it seemed to be different from what those people said. Although the woman in front of him was similar in appearance to Mu Chen, his personality was completely different.

Different from Mu Chen's quiet orchid, Jiang Lai is bright and charming, with red lips and white teeth and a smile like a flower, which makes the men sitting around peek at her frequently.

Xiao Juan settled down, and repeatedly emphasized his purpose of appearing here in his heart.

"I like the culture and scenery here very much. If I have the opportunity, I also want to live here forever."

Jiang Lai pursed his lips and smiled, and said something immediately.

"After what happened yesterday, you still like this place. You are quite courageous."

Xiao Juan's tone choked, and he didn't expect Jiang Lai to say such a sentence suddenly, so he quickly changed the topic.

"Do you like to see art exhibitions? I have two tickets for private painters' art exhibitions."

According to the investigation, Jiang Lai studied art in college. Xiao Juan thought that she would be interested in art exhibitions. Jiang Lai would not refuse.

Sure enough, Jiang Lai arrived in front of the art exhibition the next day as scheduled.

Inside the pure white building is a long corridor, Xiao Juan walked beside Jiang Lai and watched silently.

Because it is a private collection of paintings, there are very few visitors, and the owner of the paintings will come to introduce the origin and background of these paintings to visitors.

When he walked to Xiao Jun's side, the hostess hugged and kissed Xiao Jun familiarly, and then led the two of them to the depths of the corridor.

At a corner, Jiang Lai's gaze rested on a painting.

Seeing this, Xiao Juan stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"These paintings were bought from the painters at a high price privately, and they cannot be seen outside. If you like them, you can chat with the collectors."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jun turned around and whispered a few words to the hostess in Italian. The hostess smiled and nodded, walked to Jiang Lai and asked her enthusiastically.

"Do you like this painting?"

Jiang Lai nodded.

"I would like to ask from whom did you buy this painting of yours?"

She spoke Italian fluently, even as good as the locals. Xiao Juan, who was planning to help translate, was stunned for a second, and then took a step back in embarrassment.

The hostess heard that she could speak Italian, so she directly introduced the origin of the painting to her.

"My husband bought this from a young painter when he was traveling in China a few years ago. This painting is not expensive, but my husband and I like it very much. Many people who came to visit have mentioned I tried to buy the painting, but my husband and I turned it down."

Jiang Lai smiled slightly, turned around and continued to look at the half-figure on the wall. This is a woman hidden in the dark but still bright and dazzling, holding a handful of loess in her hand, and a small flower grows on the loess. Small wildflowers, full of vitality and strength.

Seeing her staring at the painting, Xiao Juan walked forward after some hesitation.

"You like it very much?"

"Well, I really like it."

After watching the art exhibition, the two went to the coffee shop by the river to sit together for a while, Xiao Juan suddenly said to answer the phone, and when he came back, he came to Jiang Lai with a picture frame in his hand.

That painting was astonishingly the one that Jiang Lai saw in a private art exhibition just now, she was a little surprised.

"You, how did you bring it out?"

"Don't you like it? My husband and I interceded and asked them to sell this painting to me."

Jiang Lai was stunned for a moment, but the reaction was within Xiao Juan's expectations.

He knows the best ways to create romance and surprises, and he also knows what people like Jiang Lai need most in their hearts.
