Chapter 54 You still dare to like him
When Cole came down from the shower, he saw Ning Yan and Yu Chengbai sitting face to face.
The only servant in the house was wiping Ning Yan's hair. He was playing with a glass cup in his hand. He looked so natural and casual as if he was back in his own home, without any sense of being a guest.
Seeing Cole coming down, Ning Yan continued his debt collection: "Pay back the money."
Cole walked past him, pretending not to hear, and went over to replace the tea for Yu Chengbai sitting opposite him.
Ning Yan held his chin with one hand and looked at him with a playful look. As he was looking at him, he accidentally flipped the glass cup that he was playing with with his fingertips and it fell out of his hand.
It hit the corner of the table exactly and broke into several pieces.
Corey took a look and said calmly, "There's another box upstairs. If you want it, I'll go up and get it for you now. You can have a good fall."
Hearing that it was worthless, Ning Yan suddenly felt bored and decided not to smash it.
The servant squatted down to pick up the scraps on the carpet.
Corey poured himself a cup of coffee, then sat down next to him and explained, "After you disappeared, all your money was taken by Moros."
"But I heard that Moros is dead." Ning Yan interrupted him.
"He died. Not long after you disappeared, he made a mistake during a mission and died unexpectedly."
"What about my money?"
"..." Corey looked at him as if he were a cold-blooded animal. Even though he had worked with this man for so many years, he still couldn't believe it. He frowned and said, "He's dead, and the first thing you think about is your money?"
"How about I ask him how he died? Then you tell me he was killed by a sniper. Then we can cry together and remember him, and reflect deeply on why his death was so pathetic. Was it because the 735's training wasn't intense enough?"
Corey didn't say anything. He closed his eyes. He hadn't been so speechless for a long time.
Ning Yan seemed not to sense his emotions. He crossed his legs, spread his hands, and continued, "Do you really think that I have been dead for a while and I can't hear any news from the outside world? I probably knew about Moros's death even earlier than you did. I came to you because I must want to know something that can't be found out from the outside world."
"For example?" Corey still had some hope for him, hoping that he still had a conscience.
“Like where my money went.”
“…”
If you talk about conscience with this guy, he will only ask you how you sell it.
I never noticed him being so obsessed with money before. When he just came back from Beijing, he didn’t even know that his boss had shortchanged him for a few months. What happened now?
Cole suddenly asked, "Are you in love?"
Ning Yan was stunned. His first reaction was not to refute, but to look at Yu Chengbai who was drinking tea quietly across from him, almost making him invisible.
Yu Chengbai seemed to sense his gaze and turned to look back. Before their eyes met, Ning Yan had already turned to Cole: "What the hell are you talking about?"
Corey was so used to his vulgarity that he even blocked it out automatically. He said as a matter of course, "I thought you wanted money to get married."
Ning Yan was stunned again. He didn't expect this to be the reason.
Corey continued, "During the time you disappeared, the organization had been searching for you. When they couldn't find you, they declared you dead. I could tell you didn't want to stay at 735. You could have just died, but you suddenly came back for money. I bet you're in need of money lately."
Ning Yan didn't say anything and wanted to go see Yu Chengbai again.
"Besides getting married and buying a house, I really can't understand what you need the money for. After all, you jumped into the sea to escape from Continent M without taking a penny with you."
“…”
It made sense, but that wasn't what he really meant.
Ning Yan said: "I just want to go gamble."
Corey was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed, whether it is for men or women, marriage is a gamble."
Ning Yan was completely silent.
He felt that if he told Corey now that he was planning to use his savings to gamble in the casino, he would probably think he was crazy, or think that he was making an excuse not to expose his partner and not to put his partner in danger.
After all, I don't have a bad habit like gambling.
"Marriage?" Yu Chengbai, who hadn't participated in their conversation from beginning to end, was slightly stunned. He was always polite and had a sense of boundaries, but at this moment, he couldn't help but pry into Ning Yan's private affairs and asked him, "Are you with Cheng Zhengze?"
“…”
“…”
After saying this, Yu Chengbai seemed to suddenly realize something and immediately said, "I guess, maybe you want to tell Ke..."
Cole suddenly turned his head, revealing an expression even more shocked than when he was naked in the bathroom with Ning Yan holding a gun to his head. He was in disbelief and felt very disappointed: "You are still in contact with him?"
Ning Yan really wanted to dig into Yu Chengbai's brain to see what he was thinking about every day!
When he was Yiwei, he suspected that he and Cheng Zhengze had an affair, which he understood. But why did he still feel that he and Cheng Zhengze were unclear after he turned back into Ning Yan?
Does he have a grudge against Cheng Zhengze?
Because Cheng Zhengze kidnapped him?
He's not the kind of person who holds grudges!
Yu Chengbai seemed to understand Ning Yan's silent but powerful look. After a brief thought, he felt that he should be able to say it, so he said, "It's like this, Ah Yan, Cheng Zhengze said his wife was Ning Yan. You said it was a code name and that many people had used it. But I looked through the information on 735 and it's the name you've always used."
"And about ten years ago, you did lurk around him for a while in order to complete a mission. The wife he mentioned must be you, right?"
Ning Yan didn't say anything, but frowned slightly, looking unhappy, but he was actually distracted.
He didn't hear a word, but heard the words "Ayan".
"Are you really still in contact with him?" Corey gritted his teeth.
Yu Chengbai's gaze fell on Cole again. His gentle, quiet eyes, which were always full of tolerance and compassion, showed a clear hesitation to speak.
Ning Yan's brain stopped working when he called him "Ah Yan", otherwise he would have been able to see that Yu Chengbai's expression now meant that he wanted to persuade Cole to let go and not to break up the couple.
"Ning Yan? Are you really still in contact with him? Do you really still like him?"
Ning Yan couldn't hear what Cole was saying. His mind was full of questions: Why did Yu Chengbai call him Ah Yan?
Why are you suddenly calling me so intimately?
What did you discover?
Are you testing yourself in this way?
Seeing that he had remained silent, Corey assumed he had acquiesced, so he stood up and shouted, "Have you forgotten how he shot you? You still dare to like him! Didn't you say you'd change and only like women from now on?"
Ning Yan finally came back to his senses after being yelled at by him, and frowned: "Who do I like?"
"Cheng Zhengze!" Corey wanted to rush forward and shake him awake. "You gave him a gun for self-defense, but he used it to attack you. Have you forgotten all this?"
