Chapter 165: Holy c.r.a.p Bro (Part one)
At night, Xu Cheng, Lin Lei, Shen Yao, and Ran Jing were drinking together at the riverside bar.
Ran Jing and Shen Yao were both not in the mood, and they were both just looking at Xu Cheng. Shen Yao had her hands supporting her cheeks, looking at Xu Cheng like she was about to interrogate him for a serious crime.
Xu Cheng was chewing on some barbecue skewers, and upon seeing that, he asked curiously, “You alright?”
“You were doing so well, why quit your job?” Ran Jing asked first.
“Yeah, don’t you know how many people wanted to accomplish something in a city like Shangcheng where even the bird p.o.o.p is sweet? You went through a lot of hard work to get to where you are at now with all that fame and power, why choose to quit now? You are still young!” Shen Yao also felt that Xu Cheng’s decision was too impulsive.
It was actually Lin Lei that smiled and said as he poured himself a gla.s.s of alcohol, “You guys don’t understand my Brother-in… don’t understand Brother Chen. He doesn’t care about those things.”
Shen Yao and Ran Jing looked at Xu Cheng and said, “What is it that you want then?”
Xu Cheng poured a gla.s.s of alcohol, then he looked at them and said, “In fact, it was the fact that Uncle Shen doesn’t think I’m good enough for you, because no matter how good I do, I won’t be able to get into the cla.s.s with true power. So, I might as well go venture into another path. Oh, but don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to pursue you.”
Shen Yao glared at him, gritted her teeth, and said, “Even if I let you, do you have the b.a.l.l.s to?”
Lin Lei looked towards Xu Cheng, very much wanting to know how he would respond.
Xu Cheng didn’t expect Shen Yao would say something like this. If it was any other men that were provoked by a woman like this, especially a perfect woman with a rich background, they would definitely man up and accept the challenge.
But, Xu Cheng just smiled and continued to take bites off of his skewer, not following this topic.
Shen Yao was quite disappointed. Immediately, she awkwardly reached out to pour herself a gla.s.s full of beer and drank. Ran Jing watched on the side, and she also subtly felt something. She didn’t know why, but she was very scared of hearing Xu Cheng not being able to resist Shen Yao’s provocations and really pursue her. But now, seeing that even Shen Yao acting this way wasn’t enough for Xu Cheng to change his mind, she also felt a bit bitter for her.
It wasn’t that Ran Jing or Shen Yao weren’t pretty enough, but rather that Lin Chuxue was still occupying the first place in Xu Cheng’s heart. It might be because she was the first one Xu Cheng ever liked. Ever since they were small, if he were to name someone that left him the only beautiful memory in his childhood, it would be Lin Chuxue.
Some feelings, especially first love, wasn’t something that could be forgotten by the pa.s.sage of time. Xu Cheng wasn’t the type to flirt with other girls, and since he was already married, he obviously knew not to provoke other women. Even though he didn’t know whether he could spend the rest of his life with Lin Chuxue, he knew that he should respect marriage as long as Lin Chuxue didn’t divorce him.
Shen Yao filled herself with 5 to 6 cups of alcohol in a row, and she became more and more p.i.s.sed the more and more she thought about it. Is it because I wasn’t being obvious enough? she thought. However, she had been surrounded by suitors ever since she was young, since when did she need to take the initiative to court someone? Even an idiot could tell that the signals she was giving off meant she was into Xu Cheng, yet this guy didn’t even show any reaction, nor acceptance or rejection.
Feeling bitter, Shen Yao took another drink, and then she finally slammed the gla.s.s onto the table and said, “Xu Cheng, are you a man or not?”
When Lin Lei heard that, he knew a good show was about to start and he turned to look at Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng just sat there, not saying a word. He lit a cigarette for himself. He knew what Shen Yao wanted to say, and after taking a sip of smoke, Xu Cheng sighed and said, “Shen Yao, I’m actually married already.”
Shen Yao returned him a look of resentment. She didn’t expect Xu Cheng to use this kind of excuse to reject her! It wasn’t like she hadn’t checked Xu Cheng’s profile with the government, he wasn’t married at all!
She looked at Xu Cheng with disappointment and said, “You can offend West Gate, charging into the casino and saving a person just to help a little girl; you are willing to take on all four Gates and take down North Gate and arrest the big shots behind West Gate, basically stirring up a storm in all of Shangcheng. You are a true man with iron blood, and now, even a word from you could shake up the underground world of Shangcheng, but why can’t you just answer me seriously? You are not afraid of anything, yet are you afraid of me liking you? So scared that you can’t think of a better excuse than you are married? So scared that you used an excuse that wouldn’t even fool a three-year-old? Xu Cheng, what do you take me as? Am I a supermarket on-sale level girl that you can grab a handful of each time? Why is it so hard for you to take a good look at me?”
When Shen Yao got spicy, it would be hard to find a match.
Seeing how Lin Lei was trying so hard to force in his smile as he looked at Xu Cheng gloatingly, Xu Cheng elbowed him, knowing that the kid was purposely here to watch the show.
Seeing how Xu Cheng was still not being serious with Lin Lei, Shen Yao got angry. Her cheeks puffed as she stood up and forcefully turned Xu Cheng’s head towards her, face to face, as she said, “Don’t look elsewhere, answer me.”
Xu Cheng didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. “Come on, how do you want me to reply? We are not suitable for each other.”
Shen Yao glared at him. “How are we not suitable?”
Xu Cheng bitterly laughed. “Even your dad thinks that we are not compatible though…”
Shen Yao: “Which father wouldn’t be wary of their daughter being deceived by other men? It’s normal for him to say that to you because he doesn’t know you. You even dare to screw the four kings of West Gate over, and you even screwed the Wei Nation’s amba.s.sador over. Why can’t you just man up and screw over my dad by kidnapping his daughter?”
When those words came out, even Lin Lei had to give his brother-in-law a big thumbs up.
Holy c.r.a.p, to be able to make a beautiful and rich heiress unconditionally fall in love with you, how come I’m not lucky to encounter this kind of blessing?
Xu Cheng really didn’t know how to respond… After awhile, he coughed and replied, “I’m a police officer, I don’t do things that are illegal.”
Shen Yao was a bit drunk at this point, and plus her spoiled temper, she was basically not going to give up unless she got an answer. “What do you mean illegal? I’m willing to be kidnapped by you, that’s illegal too?”
“Sister Yao, look at me, I’m more handsome than Brother Cheng,” Lin Lei interrupted at this time.
“Brat, go away, what use is being handsome? Do you think I still lack handsome suitors? I’m not lacking any that would spoil me and dote on me, I just want this man in front of me that has a problem with his brain and likes to ignore me!”
Lin Lei wanted cry but had no tears: it was the first time he heard a woman think that his handsome face was worthless…
Seeing how this woman was taking this opportunity of being drunk and going all out, Xu Cheng immediately went to Lin Lei for help. “Didn’t I tell you I’m married already? Everyone likes beautiful women, just ask Lei, does he like beautiful women? But really, he knows too, I’m already married, and I really love my wife.”
Then, he said seriously with a bitter laugh, “I don’t even think I’m loving my wife enough, how can I spare more energy to love someone else?”
Shen Yao: “Who’s your wife? Go and get her to come out! Xu Cheng, I’m telling you, don’t use this kind of c.r.a.ppy excuse to reject me! You, Xu Cheng, don’t have the b.a.l.l.s, but I do!”
Then, after hitting a loud and long burp, Shen Yao stood up a bit dizzy and asked Ran Jing, “Ran Jing, tell me, is it illegal for woman to rape men? I have to tell him what is means to have b.a.l.l.s.”
Ran Jing: “…”
Xu Cheng: “…”
Lin Lei looked at Xu Cheng. “Holy c.r.a.p Bro!”
