Chapter 736: Fool Part Two (1/2)

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.
