Ignoring Shu Lulu's pleas, Chu Ge ended up directing her to the living room sofa, even bringing a blanket for her.

Not that Chu Ge was worried he couldn't control himself around Shu Lulu, it's just that he couldn't guarantee that if they slept on the same bed, once he fell asleep, he wouldn't make some subconscious small moves.

He didn't want to wake up the next morning to find any unexpected situations between them.

So, it was more appropriate to let this little girl stay on the sofa by herself, even though it definitely wasn't as comfortable as a bed. But this was his home after all, and it was already nice enough for him to let Shu Lulu stay.

Nowadays, Chu Ge's heart wasn't as hard as it used to be, but he also wasn't particularly soft-hearted. With a firm heart came firm ears, so he wouldn't just agree to Shu Lulu's demands because she acted cute or pouted with a wronged expression.

Ignoring Shu Lulu's frustrated loud keyboard tapping after being sent to the living room, Chu Ge directly went to sleep. If she wanted to bang on the keyboard, so be it. If it broke, it didn't matter, because it's her keyboard. If it ended up unusable, she'd be the one who's bored.

After a good night's sleep, Chu Ge was completely refreshed and energized.

He opened the bedroom door and looked at Shu Lulu on the sofa. This girl was still not awake, and she was sleeping quite soundly.

He tucked her blanket a bit to prevent her from catching cold, made some breakfast, and left enough portions for Shu Lulu. After eating, he left the house as usual and drove to park downstairs at Qin Ruojing's building.

After waiting for the time it took to smoke a cigarette, Qin Ruojing came out and got into the car, saying, "My sister is coming today, she'll arrive at Lido after three in the afternoon. You should go pick her up by then."

Chu Ge started the car and sighed, "Got it. Sigh, my good days are over again."

Seeing Chu Ge's reluctant demeanor, Qin Ruojing got annoyed and thought to herself, I'm not even upset, so what are you sulking about?

"Alright, stop complaining. Think about if there's anything you need to prepare in advance. We have to keep up our act, can't let her see any flaws."

Chu Ge thought for a moment, "Seems like there's nothing to prepare, your place has my clothes and toiletries. It'll be the same as before. Besides, your sister hasn't contacted me for a while, she probably doesn't suspect anything about our relationship by now, right?"

Qin Ruojing shook her head, "I know my sister best, she's very clever and wouldn't believe it so easily. She hasn't bothered us recently on purpose, just to relax our vigilance and then catch us unprepared, gathering evidence anytime."

Looking at Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge rubbed his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Chairman, how long do we have to keep this up?"

Qin Ruojing also rubbed her forehead, "Who knows, sigh..."

While Qin Ruojing was feeling helpless about the situation, she heard Chu Ge's voice again.

"Chairman, I think you should tell your family that after some time together, you found out we are not compatible, and then I can dump you."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Qin Ruojing immediately glared at him. If he weren't driving, she might have kicked him.

"Why do you dump me and not the other way around?"

Facing Qin Ruojing's angry gaze, Chu Ge shrugged and laughed, "Such a simple question, please think it over yourself, will you?"

Seeing Chu Ge's righteous look, Qin Ruojing responded with a hint of exasperation, "Are you implying I'm not good enough for you?"

Chu Ge grinned and shook his head, "Of course not, I'm just a small-time employee, you're the chairman, naturally I'm not worthy of you."

"Then why do you want to say you dumped me?"

Chu Ge nodded as if it were obvious, "Of course, if I dump you, it makes it look like you were really upset, and you'd have a good reason to not start a new relationship anytime soon. Your family wouldn't suspect anything, so you can keep putting off the whole love and marriage business."

Qin Ruojing was momentarily speechless as she realized Chu Ge's intentions. But after thinking for a moment, she shook her head, "No way, you left too good an impression in front of my parents. If I really say that to them, they'd definitely be very upset. They're not young anymore; I don't want them to be sad. You still have to keep acting with me."

Chu Ge was at a loss, "Dang, with you saying that, when on earth will we finish this act?"

"Actually, your idea is not without merit, but let's wait a bit longer. Let's hold off until my sister leaves."

"Sigh, had I known it was this easy to get on this pirate ship and hard to get off, I wouldn't have taken this job. What a mess!"

"Alright, besides, you were looking for a job at that time, weren't you? Where else could you find such a well-paying job so quickly? Stop complaining. Just take it one step at a time, and while my sister is here, keep some distance from Director Tong. We can discuss you and his matter after she leaves."

After discussing the matter for a while, Chu Ge drove to Tianjiao Building and went to the chairman's office with Qin Ruojing to kill some time online.

A little after two in the afternoon, Qin Ruojing checked the time and thought it was about right, so she lifted her head from behind her desk and turned her gaze to Chu Ge.

"Let's go to the airport. After picking up my sister, you don't need to return to the office. Let her go home and rest, and buy some booze and snacks along the way. That little foodie has been craving your cooking for a long time. I'll take a cab home tonight."

Qin Ruojing used Qin Ruoying as an excuse, but in reality, she's the one who's been craving Chu Ge's cooking for a long time. She just wouldn't admit to saying it aloud.

Chu Ge answered with an "mm" and went downstairs. Soon, he drove to the airport, still over half an hour before Qin Ruoying's flight arrived in Lidu.

He didn't enter the airport. After parking at the entrance, he sat in the car, rolled down the window, and took out the iPhone 5S Liu Weijiang gave him, playing a little game while waiting.

A few minutes later, people started trickling out of the airport, but Chu Ge didn't pay attention, as this flight wasn't the one Qin Ruoying was on. He continued to focus on his phone screen, completely unaware that a woman he never wanted to see was walking towards him.

The woman had long hair dyed rose-red and wore a form-fitting light coffee-colored suit dress. Such a suit would seem a bit outdated on most women, but on her, it merely gave an impression of comfort, as if it was tailored specifically for her.

Her features were extremely delicate. From her exquisite oval face, it was hard to determine her age.

She wore a pair of seven-centimeter-high heels, emitting a crisp knocking sound with each step.

If Chu Ge wasn't playing on his phone and looking outside, he would have rolled up the window at first sight of her to avoid meeting her here.

Because this woman was Shu Lulu's mother, Luo Suyun.

Luo Suyun felt a bit depressed. Her so-called training trip, which was essentially a vacation, was supposed to last a week, but she had to return early due to a last-minute issue at work.

For her, the only silver lining to coming back early was seeing her daughter's benefactor "uncle" sooner.

She wondered if anything happened between Lulu and that uncle over the past few days at his home. In any case, she hoped not...

Thinking about her daughter and that uncle, Luo Suyun walked out of the airport. Her gaze accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar-faced man sitting in an Audi A8, fiddling with his phone, showing a very masculine profile.

Huh? This person looks familiar?

Staring at the profile, Luo Suyun took a few steps closer and suddenly realized it was the young handsome guy who had saved her from trouble and listened to her vent quite a bit.

Huh? This young guy, despite his age, already drives an Audi A8? She hadn't noticed he was wealthy the last time they met.

After taking a closer look to confirm she wasn't mistaken, Luo Suyun's pretty eyes flashed with surprise and her mouth turned up, quickening her steps.

"Hey there, young man, waiting for someone? Mind giving me a lift?"

Reaching the Audi A8, Luo Suyun smiled gently, slightly leaning forward.

Hearing the familiar voice, Chu Ge was slightly startled. Why did this voice sound so familiar?

He moved his eyes from the phone screen and turned his head, causing his eyelids to twitch a few times. The phone in his hand almost flew out, as his heart started pounding rapidly, truly giving him a big scare.

"Whoa, young man, what's that reaction? Seeing me is like seeing a ghost. Am I really that scary? I'm heartbroken!"

Seeing Chu Ge's intense reaction, Luo Suyun couldn't help rolling her eyes, rubbed her forehead, and said with amused resignation.

"Not scary. You're so beautiful, of course not scary. I just got really focused earlier."

Chu Ge wiped the sweat that suddenly formed on his forehead and said with a wry smile, regretting internally for not glancing into the airport hall a few more times.

In fact, Chu Ge couldn't really be blamed. Who would have expected such an unexpected encounter? It was almost ridiculously coincidental.

If someone hostile to Chu Ge or a skilled expert had appeared nearby, Chu Ge would have immediately noticed. Unfortunately, Luo Suyun was just an ordinary person.

"Young man, are you... waiting for your girlfriend?"

With Chu Ge staring speechlessly, Luo Suyun cheerfully asked again.
