What's wrong with me? What does Chu Ge and Tong Yaqi's situation have to do with me?

Why am I so worked up over this matter? Clearly, I shouldn't be bothered at all, right? Chu Ge and I are just a pseudo-couple, whatever he wants to do is entirely his own business.

Instead of obsessing over this, shouldn't I be more concerned about getting Tianqing Company up and running, and when He Qing asks about it, give her a proper explanation?

Oh right, I must be worried about putting the two of them together and how it might affect Tong Yaqi's work. Yeah, that must be it, definitely, for sure!

Thinking of this, Qin Ruojing felt somewhat relieved. She intended to discuss some company matters with Chu Ge, but a faint snoring sound reached her ears. Turning to look, she found Chu Ge had fallen soundly asleep.

How is this guy so relaxed? After staring at me for so long, how could he just conk out like that?

She gave Chu Ge's back a glaring look and then closed her eyes. Her mind was a mess, and she was unsure how much time passed before she drifted off to sleep.

Chu Ge indeed was tired; it was, after all, the middle of the night. He'd also made a trip to "Lido II" earlier to bring Qin Ruoying home, so it's no wonder he was exhausted.

The next morning, just as Chu Ge was sleeping deeply, he felt someone patting his shoulder. Opening his eyes, he saw Qin Ruojing, fully dressed, standing by the bed.

"Morning." Chu Ge yawned, grinned, and greeted Qin Ruojing.

"It's not early, it's after seven. Get up and come to the company with me."

"Huh? I don't have to keep your sister company today?"

"No need. How long are you going to entertain her, anyway? And that brat annoyed me to death yesterday, so she's staying home alone today to think things over."

Since Qin Ruojing put it that way, Chu Ge scratched his head and got out of bed. As the blanket slid off, it exposed a bite mark on his shoulder, which caught Qin Ruojing by surprise.

"Someone bit you?"

Chu Ge just responded with a "hmm" without further explanation, then walked out of the bedroom in just his boxers, heading to the bathroom.

Although Qin Ruoying was home, she had drunk so much the night before and slept late, so there was no chance she'd wake up at this hour.

As he walked out with his back to Qin Ruojing, her eyes fell again on the bite mark on Chu Ge's shoulder.

The more she looked at that bite mark, the more puzzled Qin Ruojing became, standing still for several seconds. When Chu Ge finished washing up and returned to the bedroom to get dressed, she couldn't help but speak up.

"Chu Ge, you... you didn't do something illegal or break any rules these past two days, did you?"

Chu Ge had just pulled up his pants when he heard Qin Ruojing's question and chuckled as he turned back, "What nonsense are you talking about this early in the morning? I'm as law-abiding as they come, what unlawful acts could I commit?"

"I'm serious! If you didn't mess with any woman, who would randomly bite you? Did you force some woman to…"

At this thought, Qin Ruojing startled herself, no wonder Chu Ge could fall asleep so fast yesterday, and even someone who usually wakes up early was unexpectedly lingering in bed today.

Unconsciously, Qin Ruojing stepped back a couple of paces, her gaze filled with an inexplicable caution and anxiety.

Noticing the change in her expression, Chu Ge found it amusing. It was impressive how vivid Qin Ruojing's imagination was, but where did that idea even come from? It was utterly puzzling.

He initially intended to clarify everything, but as the words reached his lips, he changed his mind. Perhaps teasing Qin Ruojing about this could be entertaining.

With a wicked curve on his lips, Chu Ge, bare-chested, turned towards Qin Ruojing, and smirked, "Force what?"

Chu Ge deliberately paced himself with a sardonic tone in his voice.

Being watched by Chu Ge like that, Qin Ruojing began to feel uneasy, instinctively retreating further. Unfortunately, the bedroom was only so big; she backed up just a few steps before her back touched the wall.

With each step Qin Ruojing took back, Chu Ge advanced until he stood directly in front of her.

As Qin Ruojing was about to sidestep, having nowhere left to retreat, Chu Ge suddenly placed both hands against the wall beside her, leaned slightly, and directly met her eyes with a signature smile.

"Chairwoman, why did you stop talking?"

Qin Ruojing was already flustered, and facing Chu Ge in such a dominating position, that signature smile looked downright mischievous, making her heart race even faster.

Nevertheless, being the daughter of a veteran police officer and the chairwoman of a corporation, Qin Ruojing, though slightly startled, maintained a composed facade, narrowed her brows slightly, and said pointedly, "You don't know what I want to say?"

Chu Ge grinned, "Chairwoman, that question of yours is hilarious. If I knew, why would I ask you?"

"Did you really force yourself on some woman?"

Although Qin Ruojing was ninety-nine percent certain that Chu Ge wouldn't do such a thing, his expression at that moment, along with the bite mark on his shoulder, made her unable to help but think in that direction. She couldn't resist saying it with a frown.

As she said those words, Qin Ruojing's heart rose to her throat.

Chu Ge laughed heartily, raised a hand to scratch his head, and said with a speechless expression, "Chairman, you, ah, you, how could you even think of that? Do I really look like someone who would do such things in your eyes?"

From Chu Ge's perspective, teasing Qin Ruojing this much was enough. If he continued to tease her, it would be a bit too much.

As Chu Ge took his hand off the wall and asked such a question, Qin Ruojing felt the pressure suddenly diminish, and her breathing became much smoother.

However, thinking of the marks on Chu Ge's shoulder, Qin Ruojing's gaze still filled with suspicion. She stared at Chu Ge for a few seconds before speaking again.

"Honestly, I don't think you're that kind of person, but the bite mark on your shoulder really forces me to think in that direction. Can you tell me the truth about what really happened?"

Since he decided not to tease Qin Ruojing any further, Chu Ge turned around and continued to dress. Once finished, he turned back with a grin.

"Yesterday, I did push down a woman, and she did bite me on the shoulder, but we were both willing. You're overthinking it."

Chu Ge spoke his lie with wide-open eyes, seriously and earnestly, despite having the opportunity yesterday, he actually did nothing.

The reason he said this was purely because Qin Ruojing was asking such questions, and he found it incredibly amusing. He couldn't miss the chance to tease her on her initiative.

Though Qin Ruojing felt that Chu Ge didn't look like he was lying, she couldn't help but ask, "Both willing? Then why would she bite and scratch you?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "This... you'll find out later."

Seeing Chu Ge's smug expression made Qin Ruojing suddenly feel infuriated. She truly didn't understand these matters, and Chu Ge had given her an inexplicable, inadequate answer.

Unwittingly, Qin Ruojing found herself feeling scared yet curious about this kind of thing, akin to the curiosity one feels when trying to solve a math problem.

As she pondered, Qin Ruojing was completely bewildered, feeling quite lost but intensely curious. She resisted for a while but eventually looked back at Chu Ge with a composed demeanor.

After all, she and Chu Ge had lived together for quite some time, and awkward situations had happened more than once or twice. Asking these questions was no big deal anymore.

"You rascal, what kind of answer is this? Could you be serious and tell me what's really going on?"

Seeing Qin Ruojing seriously ask the question as if she was researching a scientific topic made Chu Ge find it increasingly amusing. He hadn't intended to tease her further, but since she wanted to continue the topic, he couldn't be blamed.

Chu Ge touched his nose and chuckled smugly, "The secrets of heaven cannot be divulged."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Qin Ruojing became even more frustrated. She had barely mustered the courage to ask, only to be given such an answer?

"But..."

Just as Qin Ruojing was about to storm off, Chu Ge's mischievous voice suddenly came through.

Qin Ruojing paused her steps and instinctively asked, "But what?"

As soon as she asked, Qin Ruojing noticed Chu Ge's expression becoming even more teasing, realizing that her reaction had been overly eager.

Unable to help herself, Qin Ruojing glared at Chu Ge and said snappily, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep us in suspense like people are dying to hear."

Chu Ge laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, my dear Chairman, I'll tell you, won't I?"

Under Qin Ruojing's glare, Chu Ge smiled calmly and began to explain.

"Generally, only at the very moment a girl truly becomes a woman does it truly hurt. After doing enough preparation work beforehand, when doing the deed, most women will actually feel very happy, very wonderful, and won't have any discomfort."

Listening to Chu Ge talk about such a topic, Qin Ruojing seemed outwardly calm, but internally, she felt embarrassed, albeit mostly curious. After all, these things are fundamental to ensuring humanity's continued existence.

It was noteworthy that Chu Ge, at that moment, had a very natural demeanor without any hint of mischievousness. Had Chu Ge shown even a tiny trace of cheekiness, Qin Ruojing wouldn't have been able to continue listening.

As for any other man, discussing such things with Qin Ruojing was simply out of the question.

Unfortunately, even with Chu Ge's explanation, Qin Ruojing found herself somewhat confused, only feeling more curious.
