Adjusting her position, Shu Lulu began to massage Chu Ge, her small hands first kneading his shoulders and then tapping his back. Although the pressure was a bit light for Chu Ge, it was still quite comfortable.

In this comfortable enjoyment, Chu Ge, who was already very drowsy, unknowingly fell asleep while lying down.

"Uncle? Uncle?"

Shu Lulu wanted to ask how the pressure was and was waiting for Chu Ge to praise her, but suddenly she heard a soft snore and was a bit frustrated. How did he fall asleep so quickly?

She called out twice, and seeing how soundly Chu Ge was sleeping, Shu Lulu couldn't bear to wake him up, so she reluctantly left his body, gently muted the computer, and lay down beside Chu Ge.

During the two nights Chu Ge was away, she hadn't slept well. Now that he was back, she felt at ease and soon fell asleep with him.

This nap, Chu Ge slept very deeply for several hours, only waking up when a knock at the door sounded.

Opening his eyes, Chu Ge discovered that Shu Lulu was lying beside him, sleeping soundly with a happy expression, like a little cat curled up blissfully beside its owner.

Hmm... it's just that this little cat is a bit clingy.

Seeing the sweet smile appearing unconsciously on Shu Lulu's sleeping face, Chu Ge also smiled, carefully climbing out of bed.

After clearing his head a bit, Chu Ge glanced at the clock. It was already past six in the evening. If nothing unexpected happened, the one knocking was either He Qing or Chu Shiyao, probably here to freeload a meal again.

Opening the door, sure enough, there were no surprises. It was indeed He Qing at the door, smiling warmly.

Even though they'd only not seen each other for two days, at the first sight of He Qing, Chu Ge had a feeling that this woman seemed even more beautiful. Whether it was her gently smiling eyes or the slight lift of her lips, there was an indescribable charm. Just seeing her completely woke Chu Ge up, giving him a visual treat.

"Miss He, here to solve the dinner issue again? If you keep freeloading meals, I'll have to charge you a meal fee."

If it were any other man, being able to cook for He Qing would be an overwhelming honor, but Chu Ge had no such thoughts.

Even though He Qing knew Chu Ge was joking, she still found it quite amusing.

As soon as Chu Ge finished speaking, He Qing laughed and said, "No problem, can I get a discount for a monthly pass? Being able to eat Chef Chu's dishes is definitely something worth any amount of money."

"There you go flattering me, come on in and have a seat." Chu Ge said, stepping aside.

"Sister He Qing! You're here!"

Just as Chu Ge finished speaking, Shu Lulu's voice came from the bedroom. The girl, rubbing her eyes, came over excitedly.

Hearing the term "Sister He Qing," Chu Ge felt both surprised and speechless.

Surprised because, in just two short days, Shu Lulu seemed to have gotten along quite well with He Qing. He honestly couldn't imagine how someone like He Qing could have anything in common with a little wild girl like Shu Lulu.

Speechless because he had clearly told Shu Lulu to call He Qing "Auntie," yet while he was out for a bit, that title had reverted back to "Sister."

Chu Ge turned around and gave Shu Lulu a glare, threateningly saying, "Didn't I tell you to call her Auntie?"

Shu Lulu scratched her head, smiled, and said, "Uncle, Sister He Qing is so young and beautiful, simply the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I really can't bring myself to call her Auntie. How about we let each person stick to their own thing, okay?"

Seeing Chu Ge's rather helpless expression, He Qing laughed again, "Alright, Chu Ge, don't sweat the small stuff with little Lulu, okay?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes; reasoning with women is truly a difficult task.

"Whatever, come on in, I'm actually hungry myself. I'll go make dinner."

He Qing shook her head and said, "Not today, I won't freeload your meal. You've just come back and must be quite tired. How about I take you and Lulu out to eat?"

"Go out to eat?"

"To my uncle's house. My brother is also living there. After he was discharged from the hospital, he was confined at home by my uncle, and even had his cellphone taken away. He's been terribly bored these past few days. If you go see him, he'll definitely be very happy."

Hearing He Qing say that, Chu Ge couldn't help but realize why He Junming's phone was always off when he called; so that was the reason.

He hadn't seen He Junming for a while and did miss the kid a bit, but he didn't agree immediately. After a slight hesitation, he said, "Taking Lulu with me to your uncle's house might not be very convenient, right?"

He Qing smiled, "It's no inconvenience at all. This uncle of mine isn't particularly close to our family, and he usually eats dinner outside and comes back quite late. I suppose by the time we finish dinner, he might not even be home yet."

Chu Ge glanced again at Shu Lulu, "Little girl, do you want to go out?"

Shu Lulu nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes."

For Shu Lulu, it didn't really matter where they went, as long as she could be with Chu Ge. She felt a little bored these past two days without Chu Ge around and was just looking for an opportunity to go out and take a walk.

"Alright, then come in and sit for a while. I'll tidy up with this little girl."

Seeing Shu Lulu nodding, Chu Ge was indeed feeling a bit lazy to cook, so he agreed.

After a simple tidying up, the three of them, Chu Ge, He Qing, and Shu Lulu, went downstairs, got into Qin Ruojing's Audi A8, and drove towards He Qing's uncle's house.

Before long, the Audi A8 arrived at a relatively low-key neighborhood. However, at the entrance of the neighborhood, there were armed guards equipped with guns standing at their posts. It was only after seeing He Qing in the car that they were allowed to pass.

Seeing this, Chu Ge wasn't surprised. Even if this uncle of He Qing wasn't particularly close to the He Family, his status in Lidu City wouldn't be low. Shu Lulu, on the other hand, was a bit startled, feeling both excited and nervous at the same time.

Turning to look at the armed guard standing straight, Shu Lulu curiously asked, "Sister He Qing, is this neighborhood some government compound?"

He Qing nodded, "Yes, it's the family housing for the Lidu City State Security Bureau."

"Wow! State Security Bureau? That sounds impressive. Is your uncle also working at the State Security Bureau?"

He Qing smiled and answered "Yes," "He's the director of the city's State Security Bureau."

Shu Lulu blinked her eyes, feeling even more excited.

In her mind, the State Security Bureau was an extremely mysterious place. She never imagined she would have the opportunity to visit the home of such an important figure. She even started daydreaming about the house of this State Security Bureau director, wondering if there might be strange and powerful gadgets like those in spy movies.

Chu Ge, however, was still not surprised. To an ordinary person, the director of the city's State Security Bureau might be a significant figure, but for the He Family, to which He Qing belonged, it wasn't much.

After parking the car, the group entered a rather ordinary-looking building, went up to the sixth floor, and He Qing knocked on the door of a household. Shortly after, a woman who looked like a nanny opened the door and respectfully called out, "Miss He."

"Sis, you're here?"

Hearing the nanny's greeting, He Junming came out of a bedroom yawning, with a face full of boredom and helplessness.

However, when he saw Chu Ge appearing at the door with He Qing, he couldn't help but be stunned, then blinked, "Bro? No way! Am I seeing things?"

Chu Ge smiled and, since there was a nanny present, didn't speak as casually as usual. He nodded, "It's me, how have you been recovering?"

The same word "bro," when it entered the nanny's ears, startled her. Just being able to appear with He Qing was already noteworthy. Upon hearing how He Junming referred to this person, she couldn't help but look Chu Ge over carefully, trying not to let it show.

"I'm fine now, it's just that being cooped up here every day is driving me nuts. It's so good to see you, come in, come in."

Although He Junming had a lot he wanted to say to Chu Ge, he couldn't say much with the nanny around.

Once Chu Ge, He Qing, and Shu Lulu entered the bedroom, and the nanny brought in drinks and fruit, he closed the door and, after being introduced to Shu Lulu by Chu Ge, started talking.

When He Junming learned that He Qing and Chu Ge had become neighbors, his eyes lit up with excitement. He kept blaming He Qing and Chu Ge for not telling him about this.

After complaining a bit about this, He Junming then started grumbling about his game account.

"Darn it, my account was mysteriously banned. Being stuck at home recovering and having to read company management books every day was boring enough, and now I can't even play games. It's driving me crazy!"

Seeing He Junming's frustrated face, Shu Lulu was startled and realized that the account worth at least a hundred thousand belonged to him. Chu Ge grinned, "Your account got banned? I didn't know. Why don't you try logging in again?"

He Junming shook his head in frustration, "It really was banned. I can't ask anyone else for help with this kind of thing. If my family finds out, they'll just nag me about neglecting my duties, so I guess I'll just have to deal with it."

"Give it a try; maybe it's working now," Chu Ge teased, and Shu Lulu chuckled softly on the side.

He Junming was puzzled by what Chu Ge and Shu Lulu were laughing about, but since Chu Ge seemed so confident, he suspiciously approached the computer and logged into his game account.
