Listening to Xu Jingyuan's words and looking at their current stance, it seemed like they were about to do something sneaky, didn't it?

However, the moment he entered the room, he knew what was going on.

After all the fuss, it turned out that Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan hadn't finished changing clothes, so of course, they couldn't just open the door.

On the large round table, there were two sets of hosting dresses, one red and one blue, obviously fresh off their bodies.

Walking in on two women changing clothes should have been a very awkward situation, but since Xu Jingyuan opened the door under such circumstances, Chu Ge knew they did it on purpose. He couldn't help but feel amused. These two women really had a lot of tricks to get closer to him, didn't they?

Amused as he was, Chu Ge pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I didn't expect you to be changing clothes. How about I step outside for a moment?"

"Eldest Young Master Chu, better not. If you open the door now, others might see what we look like, and wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

On the sofa, Chen Jiatong turned her head to Chu Ge and smiled, her expression perfectly poised and graceful.

Chu Ge chuckled, "But isn't it just as bad if I see you?"

Xu Jingyuan beamed, "Eldest Young Master Chu, you're not just anybody, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, we've almost finished changing, haven't we?"

Wearing her dress, Xu Jingyuan adjusted her collar and looked back with a playful smile, "By the way, is what brings Eldest Young Master Chu here to watch us change clothes?"

Chu Ge stood there without moving, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth, "I came to ask on behalf of the groom about your appearance fees. This can only be considered an unexpected bonus. They're waiting to give you a thank-you fee."

Xu Jingyuan, having put on her top, flicked her beautiful hair and gracefully walked over to Chu Ge, saying, "Eldest Young Master Chu, if you say that, it really hurts. What's the point of charging when helping Eldest Young Master Chu?"

Chen Jiatong also said with great grievance, "Yeah, Eldest Young Master Chu, asking like this clearly means you're looking down on us, treating us like outsiders."

Chu Ge touched his nose and smiled, "So, that means I misunderstood the intentions of you two beauties?"

Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan nodded in perfect agreement, "Yeah, that's it."

Under the slightly accusing gazes of the two women, Chu Ge smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll thank you on behalf of the groom, and I'll remember this favor."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan couldn't help but be overjoyed. In their eyes, this statement from Eldest Young Master Chu was worth much more than tens of thousands of dollars.

If they ever encounter problems they cannot solve in the future, having this favor from Eldest Young Master Chu would make it easier to ask for his help.

"Well then, I'll go tell the groom, so he doesn't worry. By the way, you weren't invited by me, but by Qin Ruojing. Whoever asks, just say so."

As Chu Ge was about to turn and leave, Chen Jiatong suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Chu Ge frowned slightly, and Chen Jiatong quickly released her hand, feeling even more unsettled inside, extremely anxious about it.

Next to her, Xu Jingyuan saw this scene and was also nervous, subconsciously pressing her lips tightly together.

Why did they come here today? Wasn't it to make Eldest Young Master Chu happy? The wedding hosting was going well, and if something went wrong now, all their efforts would have been wasted.

Sensing the two women's fear and anxiety, the atmosphere in the room halted abruptly. Chu Ge felt a little guilty because, after all, they came to help. He should thank them instead of making the atmosphere worse.

"Miss Chen, anything else?"

Before the expressions on Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan's faces became even more awkward, Chu Ge relaxed his eyebrows and gave them a polite, gentle smile.

"No... nothing."

"Oh, then I'm off."

After Chen Jiatong said that, she felt some regret. However, just as she and Xu Jingyuan exchanged a glance, wanting to say something more, Chu Ge left with a smile, leaving behind just a few words before walking out of the room.

Once the door was closed again by Chu Ge, the two women couldn't help but exchange glances, filled with deep surprise in their eyes.

They had expected that in front of them, Chu Ge would either make a move on them or look around slyly, but he did neither. His expression was so natural, he exchanged a few words, and then walked out.

Little did he know, from Chu Ge's perspective, if he were to actually do anything with them, it would truly be unnecessary and purely asking for trouble.

After leaving the two women, Chu Ge did not return to the group from their orphanage, but instead searched the hall for Shi Tong's figure.

Although he and Shi Tong had not contacted each other for years, after this meeting, their lives would probably have no connection, but after all, they had grown up together, and Chu Ge did not regret doing Shi Tong this favor.

At that moment, Shi Tong was feeling anxious, constantly keeping an eye on the direction of the hall entrance. When he saw Chu Ge returning, he hurriedly toasted with a glass of what was actually water at a table before rushing towards Chu Ge.

"Chu Ge, what… what did they say?"

Shi Tong was feeling quite conflicted at this moment. On one hand, he felt it was worth spending whatever it cost; on the other hand, the thought of having to borrow money everywhere later gave him a headache. The feeling was indescribably complicated, and away from everyone's sight, the difficulty appeared on his face again.

Sigh, who could he blame for his lack of capability? If he had a lot of money... hey? Something seemed off. Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were not people who could be hired just with money.

Initially, Chu Ge was quite inclined to tease Shi Tong, but seeing him so tense, he just smiled and shook his head, "They want no money; you don't have to worry."

"Wha... what?"

Hearing what Chu Ge said, Shi Tong was stunned, staring blankly at Chu Ge, almost unable to believe his ears.

Seeing that Chu Ge did not seem to be joking, he finally used a very uncertain tone to ask, "Chu Ge, you said they want no money? How... how could that be possible?"

Chu Ge smiled and explained, "The situation was a bit rushed just now, and some things weren't clarified. Actually, the two of them didn't come for me, but for the face of our chairman. Not charging any money means our chairman owes them a favor, which is naturally more important than money. Besides, the two of them are actually part of the Tianjiao Group now."

With Chu Ge's explanation, all of Shi Tong's worries and anxiety turned into full-on surprise, and the more he thought about how Chu Ge actually went to ask his chairman for a favor for him, the more his heart filled with indescribable gratitude.

Little did he know, those two women weren't doing it for Qin Ruojing's face at all, but entirely for Chu Ge's sake. In their eyes, Chu Ge mattered much more than Qin Ruojing.

"Chu Ge, you... how... how can I ever thank you properly!"

Seeing the complex expression on Shi Tong's face, Chu Ge smiled gently, punched the utterly overwhelmed Shi Tong on the shoulder, "We've been brothers since we were kids, isn't this sort of talk unnecessary? Your happy marriage will be the best thanks."

Shi Tong bit his lip hard, unable to speak, and his eyes began to redden.

Originally, he had no expectation that Chu Ge would come, kind of treating Chu Ge as a transparent person, if he came, he came, if not, it didn't matter.

However, the two big problems during his wedding were solved by Chu Ge, and the weight of this friendship was immense.

"Alright, you as the groom should go about your business, I'll go back to eat with Da Xu and the others, let's have a drink together some other time."

With a smile, Chu Ge patted Shi Tong's shoulder, then left him with his back and walked toward the table where their group was seated.

Just after he returned to the table and sat down, Lin Fang, with excitement still on her face, asked enthusiastically, "Chu Ge, you just went to see Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan, didn't you? Have they left?"

Chu Ge took a sip of beer to moisten his slightly dry throat, "Just now, no, but by now they should have left, right?"

"Well... why don't you give them a call to make sure? If they haven't left, see if you can invite them over to have a meal with us?"

As a fan of Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan, Lin Fang was quite reluctant, feeling that if she could have a meal with them, today would be even more worthwhile.

Chu Ge had just taken a bite of food and couldn't respond immediately. The girl who had gone with Lin Fang to pick up Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan interjected, "That might not be possible, right? They came for the sake of Chu Ge's chairman, and having hosted the wedding, they've already done more than enough. Fang Jie, don't make things difficult for Chu Ge."

Zhu Youcai had been quiet for a moment, but seeing Chu Ge return and become the center of attention again, couldn't help but chime in, ostensibly considering Chu Ge's situation.

"Lin Fang, don't think about it. Do you really think Chu Ge has such a huge influence? If you ask Chu Ge to call them now, they'll definitely refuse and probably even curse Chu Ge for being crazy. For people like them, a line must form of people wanting to invite them for meals. How could they ever come and sit at our table?"

This time, Zhu Youcai's tone wasn't as sarcastic as usual, and what he said was reasonable. Although Lin Fang felt quite regretful inside, she didn't say anything more.

Everyone shared Zhu Youcai's opinion, even Cao Xu, who normally looked down on Zhu Youcai, didn't mock him.

However, just as everyone was about to change the subject and move on, Zhu Youcai glanced around casually and suddenly froze. Then his eyes started to widen bit by bit.

In his line of sight, there were clearly two graceful figures walking towards them, and a rib he had just brought to his mouth fell onto his lap, leaving a large grease stain, yet he was completely unaware.
