Chapter 790: Don’t check next time
They continued to dine and Ran Jing suddenly asked Xu Cheng again for no reason, “By the way, I heard you say you have a wife? Who’s also beautiful? You said she was more beautiful than Yaoyao?”
Xu Cheng lifted his head as he looked at Ran Jing, then at Lin Chuxue, and nodded.
Shen Yao was speechless, and after elbowing her best friend Ran Jing, she asked in wonder, “What’s wrong with you today? Occupational habit again?”
“No.” Ran Jing smiled. “I need to make sure so that he won’t have any mischievous intentions towards Little Xue since she’s so beautiful.”
Xu Cheng replied quickly, “I will not! Nor will I allow anyone to hurt her!”
Ran Jing quickly asked, “Why not? Frankly speaking, Little Xue is such a beautiful woman, and any normal man would find a way to approach her. What makes you say you will not have thoughts about her? If you say you have a wife, then why are you not wearing a wedding ring? This is a cover-up, eh? Because you want to have a chance.”
Xu Cheng was speechless. He indeed had a ring and it was a matching pair with the one Lin Chuxue was wearing, but he didn’t wear it on his hand.
“During the mission, family matters can only be put aside,” Xu Cheng explained.
In fact, Ran Jing was setting Xu Cheng up. It was more of a test, because if the person in front of her was really Xu Cheng, she was curious to know why he could let Lin Chuxue live like this. Wouldn’t he be hurt seeing her like this?
Of course, so far it was all speculation, and it was also possible that this person was not Xu Cheng, so she needed to test that.
“Then show us a photo of your wife,” Ran Jing said.
Xu Cheng pondered.
Lin Chuxue: “Little Jing, are you being too sensitive?”
“Am I?” Ran Jing smiled and looked at Xu Cheng as she said, “You have to protect Little Xue in the future. We are her girlfriends, and we will feel ease if we know your background. So, please cooperate since you are also a police officer. You should know how to gain the trust of your employer first in order to make her cooperate with you.”
“Didn’t bring it with me,” Xu Cheng said.
He was wondering in his head as he could tell that Ran Jing was trying to test him for something, and he wondered if she had found out something.
Seeing Xu Cheng’s careless attitude, Ran Jing felt that the possibility of him being Xu Cheng became greater. She smiled inside as back then when they were colleagues, he was better than her in everything, but now that she could make him nervous, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
Xu Cheng felt that this was not the way to go on, and he sensed that Ran Jing’s intention was not good.
Immediately, he looked at her and said, “You don’t need to know about my background other than I have proof that I’m from the Yanjing special forces. Your current rank is not qualified to interrogate me like this.”
Ran Jing: “I’m not asking you from a work position, but as Little Xue’s best friend. Why are you so nervous?”
Xu Cheng wiped his mouth while changing the subject, “In order to better protect the target one-on-one and not associate the two of you in the event of a crime, what I mean is that in the future, Miss Lin needs to move out of the apartment to a different place.”
This was indeed a better way to protect Lin Chuxue, otherwise if they really encountered an assassination, Xu Cheng would not have the ability to take care of these two, and Ran Jing was definitely no opponent for the R rank experts sent by the Capital Society.
Ran Jing: “I oppose!”
Shen Yao: “I also oppose, Little Xue needs us to take care of her. With her being in this condition, I do not feel comfortable with her outside alone. You are a bodyguard and a stranger as well, she can’t even chat with you when she gets bored. She must live in a place where we can see her, and I think the apartment is just fine, not to mention that I have taken leave to accompany her, and I won’t feel at ease if Little Xue moved out.”
Xu Cheng: “But I have to protect Miss Lin 24/7.”
Ran Jing: “Then you can move in, I also do not feel at ease if Little Xue moved out!”
Shen Yao looked at Lin Chuxue. “Little Xue what do you say, do you want to move out?”
Lin Chuxue looked at Xu Cheng and asked Shen Yao hesitantly, “Is it convenient for him to move in?”
Ran Jing: “Of course, Yao Yao and I lived with men before.”
Shen Yao elbowed her and said with a smile, “It’s not the same, this guy is not Xu Cheng.”
Ran Jing glanced at Xu Cheng deeply and said, “I think it’s almost the same. The previous one was like wood, and this Mr. Fang only sees his protection target, Little Xue. He sees us as if we are transparent, so there’s no difference.”
These words had a deeper meaning.
That was when Lin Chuxue said, “Yao Yao, is there an extra room next door? Let’s give him a room.”
Having said that, Lin Chuxue apologized towards Xu Cheng, “Mr. Fang, sorry but I have a husband, so please understand.”
Xu Cheng froze for a moment, then nodded. “I understand.”
Ran Jing raised a glass of red wine and handed it over. “Come on, I’ll toast you for solving this big case for me.”
Xu Cheng and her clinked glasses.
Ran Jing took a sip and asked suddenly, “Who named you Fang Yucheng?”
Xu Cheng’s eyes narrowed. “How do you know my name is Fang Yucheng?”
Ran Jing was stunned for a moment. “Didn’t you tell me?”
Xu Cheng: “I never seem to have told you my full name, and you’ve been calling me by Mr. Fang. Did you look me up?”
He retaliated.
“Yes.” Ran Jing confessed. “Remember before how I always wondered how on earth you took over that case so smoothly and even my superiors can’t have a second opinion? I even asked you who the hell you were, so I couldn’t help but look you up. Is there a problem?”
Xu Cheng’s alertness eased after listening to this explanation.
“Did you find out anything?” he chewed on a slice of steak and asked casually.
“You indeed have a very high ranking, so I didn’t find anything,” Ran Jing said.
“A kind reminder, don’t check next time.” Xu Cheng raised his head to look at Ran Jing as he said indifferently, “Someone once performed a check on me, and now he’s been transferred elsewhere.”
Ran Jing poured herself another glass of wine and smiled. “You haven’t answered me yet, who named you Fang Yucheng?”
“Of course I was named by my parents.” Xu Cheng looked at her. “You think there’s a problem?”
“I just think your name is similar to a friend of mine,” Ran Jing said.
“There are many identical names in Huaxia, I am not that friend of yours,” Xu Cheng said.
Shen Yao interrupted jokingly at Ran Jing, “Wow, what’s the name of the man that made you remember? Do you have a crush on him? No wonder you’ve been single and haven’t been looking for a boyfriend, it’s because you have someone in your heart already eh.”
Ran Jing rolled her eyes at her.
“It’s not like the two of you don’t know him. Don’t you think Yucheng is an abbreviation of Xu Cheng?”
Xu Cheng’s pupils behind the mask suddenly constricted.
