Chapter 736: Fool (Part Two)
After Xu Cheng sat down, Shen Yao stared at him with a deadly stare .
“Why do you wear a mask?” Shen Yao asked .
“My face is disfigured, and it’s not convenient to show, so I can only wear a mask . ” Xu Cheng answered . “The main worry is that I’ll scare the crowd . ”
He said as he shook his horrifying pale hands in the air .
Shen Yao stopped teasing as her feelings turned into sympathy . “Sorry, so you and Jing Jing are…?”
“Colleagues . ” Xu Cheng said, “I was transferred from Yanjing to assist her with the case . Today’s my first day of work and she invited me to dinner . Since I can’t go outside, I followed her here . ”
Shen Yao nodded, and she suddenly realized as she muttered, “I thought you were her boyfriend, which would mean the sunrise must have come from the west side today . ”
Ran Jing was afraid that her nosiness would scare Xu Cheng away, so she peeked out to stop her and said, “Come in and help me wash some veggies . ”
Shen Yao nodded as she got up and went to the kitchen .
After Xu Cheng stood up, he looked around at the place that he hadn’t seen for a long time, and nothing seemed to have changed .
People, things, and the interior all seemed to be the same; the only thing that changed was his appearance, and no one could recognize him anymore .
Xu Cheng came to the balcony alone to feel the night breeze and look at the night scene .
That was when he heard the sound of the two ladies’ discussion from the kitchen .
Shen Yao: “Jing, who’s this guy? He even managed to get you to invite him to the house for dinner? Didn’t you always say women are not any less than men? And that a man who can make you cook for him has not been born yet? I think he appeared today, eh? But you’ve got a heavy taste . ”
Ran Jing rolled her eyes . “He came from Yanjing, and he’s technically my boss . I owe it to him today, or the case would’ve been put on hold and I’d be on vacation . So, although I hate that he parachuted in and seized power, I still have to thank him, right? In addition to that, it’s also a little benefit fee for advice . ”
“Rare . ” Shen Yao snickered, “It’s rare that a man could impress you . Have you seen what he looks like?”
Shen Yao was silent for a moment, then abruptly continued . “Just now when you brought him in, I don’t know why but I subconsciously thought he was Xu Cheng . His figure looked like him . ”
“Wow . ” Ran Jing teased: “It seems that there’s also a man who Miss Shen could never forget, eh? But he is not Xu Cheng, he removed the mask before and I advise you not to ask him to remove his mask so that he feels respected . It is because I have seen his face that I brought him here for dinner . I can tell that he doesn’t seem to have friends and is very socially withdrawn . This meal has no other meaning in it . ”
Shen Yao then remembered something, so she said quickly, “By the way, I saw Chuxue here a few days ago, and she asked me if I had seen Xu Cheng . She didn’t look so well, and I don’t know what happened . ” Shen Yao said that with a frown while washing the vegetables .
Ran Jing’s knife stalled in the air for two seconds before she continued to cut vegetables, and she asked, “Then shouldn’t you look for her . “
“Her phone has been off, and I’m just worried if something happened . I’ve never seen that panicked look on her face . She always seemed quiet and didn’t seem to care even if it was the end of the world . But that day, she scared me . When I chased out after her, I didn’t see her anymore . Ran Jing, can you help me find her later?”
Xu Cheng’s pupils contracted for a moment as he looked at a distance in silence, feeling hurt on the inside .
Ran Jing nodded and started frying as she glared at Shen Yao, looked dissatisfied, “Then why did you tell me about this today?”
Shen Yao: “You’re working overtime every day on the case, how could I tell you? I should give her another call to see it goes through . ”
Ran Jing asked abruptly behind her, “Are you concerned about Chuxue or Xu Cheng?”
Shen Yao’s body paused for a moment before she said, “They are both my friends, of course I care about both of them . ”
Ran Jing looked at her back as she left and laughed lightly, “Only a fool would buy this building!”
