Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1549 - 1538: Confident Rose

"Since he's Miss Xu's employee, let him through!"Rose waved her hand dismissively, as if she were the one in charge.

The foreign bouncer lowered his hand, mocking, "Heh, go ahead. Mr. Manager."

"Your Huaxia is quite good."

"Hmph!"

The foreigner snorted coldly, looking up at the ceiling with obvious disdain.

"Fine, very good."

Ning Fan gave the black foreigner a deep look, committing his face to memory.

If the other party could speak fluent Huaxia, he was obviously familiar with Huaxia.

Yet he still behaved so arrogantly and rudely; it was not an excuse of ignorance but blatant contempt and insult.

"I hope you understand the Huaxia phrase 'neither able to live nor die.'

The icy glint in Ning Fan's eyes flickered briefly, but his face remained calm.

"President Xu, the car is ready. Shall we depart now?"

"Miss Rose, let's go."

During this, Xu Ruolan glanced at Ning Fan with a hint of apology in her eyes.

Ning Fan shook his head slightly; this was how he always addressed others.

Miss Rose did not move and spoke breathily through slightly parted cherry lips, "Miss Xu, is this the security personnel you prepared for me? Looks like..."

As she spoke, Miss Rose glanced at Ning Fan, then pretentiously shook her head to show her disdain.

Ning Fan couldn't be bothered with this arrogant foreigner, only giving Xu Ruolan a puzzled look, "What's going on? From what was said, I need to protect this foreign woman."

Xu Ruolan replied with confidence, "Though Manager Ning is young, he has considerable experience in security, enough to ensure Miss Rose's safety in Zhonghai."

"Really?"

Rose raised an eyebrow, then blandly stated, "So, this Manager Ning is quite impressive, a master then."

The silent Xu Xiaoqing suddenly snorted, "Hmph! Just average, third best in the world."

"Haha, Miss Xu, you're quite naive and charming."

Rose's laughter was graceful and captivating, but to Ning Fan, it seemed contrived and nauseating.

There are plenty of women who pretend, but this one is particularly adept at it.

Ning Fan could hardly stand it, let alone Xu Xiaoqing, who was ready to explode before being thwarted by the cold glint in Xu Ruolan's eyes.

"In that case."

Rose sneered coldly, "Mr. William, you should get acquainted with this world-rank third."

With that, a two-meter-tall giant man emerged from the group of foreigners, looking down at Ning Fan.

William flashed a set of pristine white teeth and introduced himself in fluent Huaxia, "I'm William, the leader of Miss Rose's bodyguard team. I served with the American Marine Corps and later as chief instructor at Blackwater Company..."

The message William intended to convey was simple.

"I'm badass, I've been through a lot, I kill without blinking, I'm an angel of death walking on earth.

Not only me, but even my team members are equally badass, just not as great as me."

After the impressive introduction, Ning Fan calmly replied, "I'm Ning Fan, the manager of the Xu Corporation's security department."

Before William could react, Miss Rose screeched exaggeratedly, "Miss Xu, did I hear wrong? This gentleman said he is a security guard, not a security manager!"

Finished, Rose grumbled, "Could it be Miss Xu is taking advantage of my ignorance of Huaxia customs? In your country, security guards seem to do non-skilled patrolling work."

There is a world of difference between 'security' and 'security guard,' although the words are similar.

As Rose said, the work of a security guard lacks technical content.

But security is different; it requires not only technical expertise but also physical or combat skills.

"Miss Rose, let me explain. Huaxia's security environment is world-renowned, and besides, Ning Fan..."

Xu Ruolan's words were cut off by Rose, "Miss Xu, no need to explain further. I won't entrust my safety to someone like this."

"Ma Dan, just who do you think I am? Have I eaten your rice or taken your salary? You look down on me; I don't care about you either."

Ning Fan's nose wrinkled in annoyance, clearly upset by her words.

"President Xu, I think Miss Rose is right. I might not be capable enough to take on such a burden. You should find someone else to protect this lady."

As Xu Ruolan was about to speak, Rose interjected, "Mr., by your words just now, you don't seem to recognize me?"

Ending her sentence, Rose suddenly laughed at her own foolishness,

she had encountered plenty of men pretending to be clueless.

Ning Fan honestly shook his head and asked, puzzled, "Do I need to know you?"

"Miss Xu, your company's staff is amusing. This act of playing dumb is quite impressive."

Rose covered her mouth with a light laugh, exuding charm, though her words were evidently sarcastic.

"This girl is delusional. It's as if she's convinced I must know her. Where does her confidence come from?"

If not for considering Xu Ruolan's reputation, Ning Fan would have walked away and ignored her long ago.

Ning Fan was concerned about the setting, but Xu Xiaoqing, not one to let things go, seized the opportunity to speak up.

"Haha..."

Xu Xiaoqing let out a bell-like laugh, her stomach about to cramp up,

"Oh, Miss Big Celebrity, you've really got it wrong this time. Our Manager Ning genuinely doesn't know who you are."

Upon hearing this, Rose's playful demeanor changed to one of frustration.

Rose and Xu Xiaoqing had known each other for some time, and she was very aware of the girl's straightforward, sharp-tongued nature, knowing that her words usually carried a lot of truth.

"You really don't know me. It's Elena—Rose."

"I don't know you."

"Haven't you heard my songs? I recently released a bilingual album, 'Heavenly Sound,' which sold out to iconic levels in just a day."

"Never heard of it."

"Then surely you've seen 'Godwalker,' the movie I'm starring in, which is currently showing worldwide."

"Haven't seen it."

...

Ning Fan, slightly impatient, couldn't help but interrupt, "Stop asking. I really don't know who you are."

Looking at Rose in front of him, Ning Fan silently lamented, "Looks pretty, but her brain seems a bit off, too self-satisfied."

"This man really doesn't know me!"

Rose felt a stirring in her heart, a mix of complex emotions.

Though beautiful, she wasn't a vase, possessing excellent acting skills and even being nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, though her excessive allure caused the judges to dismiss her.

Hence, whether someone is acting or pretending, Rose could easily discern, and she indeed saw no sign of Ning Fan lying.
