Chapter 298 - 298 Little Puppy and Big Wolf
298 Little Puppy and Big Wolf
Shen Ruojing also frowned.
Actually, when Chu Cichen kept insisting that he had no mental illnesses or amnesia, she already had this conjecture in her heart.
After that, Chu Cichen’s reluctance to tell her made her even more sure of her conjecture.
It was because this was the only explanation despite it being the most improbable one.
At this moment, when Chu Cichen revealed everything, she actually felt that things became even more confusing.
She looked at Chu Cichen. “Back then, he confessed to me in the park and other than the term of address he used, the content of the confession is the exact same one.”
Chu Cichen called her 518.
The little puppy-like guy back then didn’t know she was 518, so he addressed her as Shen Ruojing.
Chu Cichen was stunned. He frowned but he suddenly seemed to have understood something. He spoke with certainty, “He was pretending to be me.”
Shen Ruojing agreed with this.
She had met Chu Cichen for the first time overseas and was attracted by his demeanor, looks, and voice.
After returning to the country, she ran into him again. He said his name was Chu Cichen, and he looked exactly the same as the Chu Cichen she had met overseas. In fact, he even revealed details of their encounter overseas…
When she was overseas executing a mission, the imposter also said that he was overseas and swindled her to a school to take a photograph together. However, the one in that photograph was the real Chu Cichen.
Hence, all of this must have been arranged carefully by the little puppy-like imposter.
The little puppy stayed in the shadows and controlled everything.
But why would he do this?
He wanted to date Shen Ruojing?
Shen Ruojing was thoroughly perplexed.
Chu Cichen also looked at her. “Jingjing, couldn’t you tell the difference? Is there something different between me and him that can allow you to differentiate us?”
Shen Ruojing. “…”
As an extremely sensitive person, in addition to her taking on missions and being bosses of various industries, it was indeed pretty much impossible that she couldn’t tell the differences between the real and the fake…
If she was honest with herself, she could still differentiate them…
When she recalled carefully, the Chu Cichen she encountered overseas clearly treated her slightly colder and was quite different from the compliant Chu Cichen she met in China. However, back then, because she was far from home and was also in charge of many missions, she didn’t really focus on dating. This was why she didn’t sense the differences then.
An ordinary couple would have different attitudes when it came to professional and personal lives.
In addition, her work often involved life and death, so when she met her boyfriend in the midst of executing a mission, how could she have the presence of mind to pay attention to her boyfriend’s attitude?
Just when Shen Ruojing wanted to say something, she lifted her head and saw Chu Cichen’s hurt expression. His gaze was as though he was looking at a sl*t who dated two guys at the same time.
Now that she thought back, she had indeed dated two guys at the same time those years ago.
One was the Chu Cichen overseas, while the other one was the little puppy imposter that masqueraded as Chu Cichen.
A sense of guilt soon flooded her heart.
Shen Ruojing coughed. “I don’t really mind it.”
Chu Cichen sensed her guilt, and the dimness in his phoenix eyes brightened a little.
During this period, he was filled with trepidation, feeling afraid the person she liked might not be him but another man instead. However, right now, he understood that the person in China was masquerading as him. This caused him to heave a sigh of relief, and he also understood how he should subdue Shen Ruojing’s heart.
He suddenly sighed and spoke humbly, “My confession was stolen, and even the majority of our dates was him masquerading as me. Thinking back, it was really fortunate that I was the one who did it with you that night. The children are mine.”
Shen Ruojing. “…”
All of a sudden, she felt even more guilty.
This man must be intentionally acting pitiful before her…Shen Ruojing thus decided to change the topic. “Back then, after the little puppy vanished…”
But before she could finish her words, Chu Cichen interrupted her. His voice was dripping with jealousy. “Little puppy? So, he is a little puppy in your heart?”
Shen Ruojing. “!!”
Why did she blurt out the thoughts in her heart carelessly!?
She made her tone heavier. “Little puppy is just an alternate title to address him!”
Chu Cichen was brimming with righteous indignation, so he spoke with great dissatisfaction, “It sounds too intimate. Jingjing, you should understand that he was masquerading as me. He was swindling you.”
“…”
Shen Ruojing stared at him for a while before suddenly laughing. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Let me summarize everything for you: Back then, I met Chu Cichen for the first time overseas and ran into him again after I returned to Sea City in China. Chu Cichen said we were fated and after that, I encountered him a few more times…”
Chu Cichen’s temples bulged the more he listened. “I think you better use the alternate title instead.”
Shen Ruojing lifted her eyelids and looked at him with a half-smile. “You are not jealous anymore?”
“I am,” Chu Cichen honestly said. “However, if you refer to both of us as ‘Chu Cichen’, I will feel very weird.”
Although he could tell who was who, he still felt very uncomfortable with it.
Shen Ruojing rolled her eyes.
Although she didn’t have much contact with Chu Cichen overseas, this man’s meticulous and clingy nature was buried deep in his bones.
She continued, “After the little puppy disappeared, I had nothing to act on because I don’t have any clues regarding him. But since he masqueraded as you, we should start our investigation with your identity and see if we can find any clues.”
Chu Cichen immediately agreed, “Hmm, I’ll do the investigation.”
If even the confession used belonged to Chu Cichen, the person masquerading as him must have been extremely familiar with him. At the very least, this indicated that there was a traitor around him.
As for why the person wanted to masquerade as him to date Shen Ruojing, they would naturally have the answer after they captured that person.
The matters between them were finally cleared up, and the mystery of why their memories didn’t match up was also solved. However, it felt as though they sank into an even deeper mystery and scheme…
It was as though everything in their lives had been pre-arranged by someone.
At this moment, the surroundings were completely quiet as the two of them had ventured into the depths of the cypress forest.
After they finished discussing the important things, Chu Cichen suddenly asked, “If he is little puppy, what am I?”
Shen Ruojing. “?”
She rolled her eyes. “Boring.”
After saying that, she turned and walked back according to the path she had taken to come here.
Chu Cichen didn’t give up and followed behind her. “So, what am I?”
(You are naturally a big wolf!)
The once little puppy had grown up and would protect her tyrannically…
Shen Ruojing hastened her steps and ignored him.
Seeing that she remained silent, Chu Cichen continued following her while speaking in an aggrieved manner, “No matter what, the him you loved back then was also me, right?”
“…”
“Actually, I still feel a little afraid. I’m afraid that he did too good of a job masquerading as me and the person you loved was him and not me…”
The man continued chattering, and Shen Ruojing abruptly halted and suddenly turned to look at him.
Under the night, the woman’s peach blossom eyes blazed with passion, causing Chu Cichen to lose his rationality for an instant. He quickly took a step forward and held her close. He then lowered his head, preparing to go in for a kiss.
But at this moment, Shen Ruojing’s mobile phone suddenly rang.
Chu Cichen’s action paused, and his eyes gleamed with hatred as he looked at her phone.
Who was the one calling, interrupting his romantic moment?!
He then saw Shen Ruojing taking her phone out. After that, she spoke with a straight face, “It is the number of that person who said he knew the truth of what happened back then.”
It was that person who spoke with an electronic voice. The person who had told them he would guide them to find the truth.
Chu Cichen’s romantic feelings were instantly gone. He took another step forward and stood beside Shen Ruojing. After he took her phone, he switched to speaker mode before accepting the call.
Chu Cichen didn’t say anything, choosing to look at Shen Ruojing.
Shen Ruojing slowly spoke, “Hello.”
As expected, the familiar electronic voice rang out. “Shen Ruojing, you guys have finished investigating based on the first clue I gave, right? Do you want to know who exactly was the person dating you in the past?”
