Diverting from the phone topic, the three chatted about other things, and Shu Lulu quickly got restless, her eyes darting around, and soon she suggested playing poker.

Anyway, having nothing to do, playing poker to pass the time seemed nice. Seeing that Ye Li had no objections, Chu Ge nodded in agreement.

Honestly, Chu Ge really liked playing poker, he even thought that poker was a form of knowledge, requiring memory, analytical ability, and it was also a psychological battle.

However, Chu Ge didn't actually have any poker cards at home, so the task of buying them was handed to Shu Lulu. This girl was unusually obedient, not a word of bargaining, she took the fifty yuan Chu Ge gave her and went downstairs humming a tune.

Without Shu Lulu's chatter, the room with only Chu Ge and Ye Li became quiet again.

Sending Shu Lulu to buy poker cards, Chu Ge just wanted to send her away temporarily to have a chat with Ye Li, and soon broke the silence.

"Ye Li, I really didn't expect this girl to be so clingy, I really couldn't handle her just now. As you saw, I just can't deal with her, I flicked her forehead so many times but she is still so persistent. I can't really hit her, sigh!"

Ye Li smiled gently, lightly shook her head, "Brother Chu, you don't need to apologize to me, I understand, being able to help you makes me happy, why would I blame you,"

Though smiling, there was clearly a hint of bitterness in her smile, making Chu Ge feel a pang of heartache, but he had no choice, after all, he couldn't make any promises to Ye Li right now, some things are better said clearly.

Feeling the softness in Chu Ge's gaze, Ye Li bit her lips, hesitated, and asked, "Brother Chu, how did you and Lulu... meet, why does she say she's your mistress?"

Chu Ge was feeling a bit awkward, but Ye Li's question relieved some of that.

"Her, I just accidentally met this little girl, the first time I met her was on a bus, at that time..."

Listening to Chu Ge talk about Shu Lulu, Ye Li couldn't help but feel a bit of empathy for this little girl.

It turns out that this seemingly bright and cheery girl had such experiences, if it weren't for both Shu Lulu and her meeting Chu Ge, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Thinking that both she and Shu Lulu were women rejected by Chu Ge, Ye Li no longer held any grudge against Shu Lulu.

At the same time, Ye Li's feelings for Chu Ge deepened, although Chu Ge spoke lightly, she could fully imagine when Shu Lulu nearly got harmed by that Director Qi, Chu Ge kicking open the door must have been an incredibly stunning scene.

"Uncle, I'm back, I didn't realize how much my head hurts until I went downstairs."

Just as Chu Ge finished talking about his situation with Shu Lulu, she conveniently pushed open the door, rubbing her head with one hand while walking in, holding a bag in the other with a deck of poker and various snacks inside.

"Uncle, Senior, let's play Landlord? I'll show you what a teenage gambling god really means."

Instead of sitting back on the sofa, Shu Lulu went straight to the table, opened the deck, and began shuffling with a mischievous smile.

Chu Ge got up and approached the table, watching Shu Lulu act all serious, he laughed and said, "Alright, let's see then."

When Ye Li also sat down, Shu Lulu had shuffled the cards several times, her eyes shifting, she suggested, "Uncle, Senior, shouldn't we bet on something? Otherwise, it's not much fun, is it?"

"What? You really want to gamble a bit? Your pockets are cleaner than your face, should I lend you money to play? Plus, if it's real money, with your surname, it doesn't seem that lucky?"

Shu Lulu was taken aback, quickly realized, and said speechlessly, "Tsk, my surname is Shu as in comfortable, not Shu as in losing, you don't have to tease me like that."

Ye Li couldn't help but chuckle, agreeing, "Yes, Brother Chu, by your reasoning, was Emperor Ying Zheng also a gambling god?"

Upon hearing Ye Li's words, Shu Lulu paused slightly, turned to look at Ye Li, blinking her eyes, she used to think Ye Li didn't really like her, but unexpectedly, in the time it took to buy poker cards, Ye Li started speaking up for her.

Seeing the two girls coordinating so seamlessly, Chu Ge shook his head helplessly yet amusedly, looking at Shu Lulu, "Sigh, I realized keeping you here is a terrible mistake. Our Ye Li is such a good girl, and just after contacting you for a while, she's been led astray by you."

Shu Lulu giggled, "Oh no way, Senior Ye Li is the best, being your first wife, allowing me, the mistress, to stay here, what generosity is that? Uncle, you should be secretly happy, if it were another, you'd have been kicked out long ago and they'd be tugging your ear asking all sorts of questions."

Saying this, Shu Lulu grabbed Ye Li's hand affectionately, saying, "Senior, rest assured, we are good sisters from now on, stay by Uncle's side, and whenever Uncle needs anything, we'll join forces to help him."

Chu Ge broke out in a sweat again, but having known Shu Lulu for so long, he had somewhat gotten an immunity to her shocking actions, and today she had surprised him multiple times, so he didn't say too much more.

This little girl is just like that, all day her mouth lacks a gatekeeper, she acts impulsively, but fundamentally she's just a little kid who loves to smile and play around.

Ye Li felt a pang of conflict in her heart. She wasn't like Chu Ge, not used to Shu Lulu's words at all, and said coyly, "Lulu, what are you talking about?"

Shu Lulu giggled, "Senior, I'm genuinely thinking about your well-being, you should thank me, don't be shy."

This time, Ye Li didn't even respond to Shu Lulu, and instead looked down at the cards on the table.

Although Ye Li was indeed quite conflicted, she felt that Shu Lulu was just saying it for fun. Since this little girl was still pure, how could she possibly do something so outrageous?

Moreover, whether it was her or Shu Lulu, both had stayed with Chu Ge alone before. Given such a good opportunity, Chu Ge hadn't done anything, so she believed tonight wouldn't be any different.

"Are we playing cards or not? If not, I'll head back to my room."

Even though Chu Ge found Shu Lulu's words amusing, seeing Ye Li's awkwardness, he had to clear his throat and change the subject, helping Ye Li out of her predicament.

Shu Lulu immediately chimed in, "Of course, we're playing, but we haven't decided on the stakes yet."

"What do you want to win?" Chu Ge smirked; he was genuinely curious about what bizarre suggestion Shu Lulu might come up with.

Shu Lulu was waiting for this question, giggling she said, "How about playing with sketches and graffiti? The rules are like online poker, lose ten points, and you draw a line?"

Chu Ge glared at Shu Lulu and said, "Can you be serious? Who taught you this stuff?"

Seeing Chu Ge's stare, Shu Lulu said a bit defiantly, "Just kidding, Senior Ye Li hasn't complained, why are you reacting so strongly, old man?"

Then, she mumbled softly, "Besides, if we really play this, you aren't at any loss. Don't you want to see the two of us doodling in front of you?"

Chu Ge was even more speechless. This Shu Lulu, when will she stop?

If it was just the two of them, it wouldn't have been a big deal. After all, knowing Shu Lulu well, he understood that this girl only talked big but had no real courage. No matter how boastful her words were, she would chicken out when it came to the real thing. The incident when Shu Lulu took a bath at his place was the best example.

Moreover, even if Shu Lulu dared today, Ye Li definitely wouldn't agree.

A girl like Ye Li, with such thin skin, had already been pushed to her limits by cooperating with him on those matters and saying those words today, let alone playing this poker-and-doodles game.

So, Chu Ge could only frown and say, "Enough is enough; if you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I'll really kick you out?"

Shu Lulu quickly made a gesture of surrender, "Alright, alright, let's not play this. How about this? Let's play until ten o'clock, whoever loses the most sleeps on the sofa, and the other two get the bed, how about it?"

Hearing this, Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh, nodding crisply, "This isn't too far-fetched," and turned his gaze to Ye Li, "What do you think?"

"Huh? What?"

Ye Li seemed startled, her face was crimson, and she looked over in a daze.

Chu Ge glared at Shu Lulu again, "Look at how you made her embarrassed," Shu Lulu stuck out her tongue and giggled, promptly repeating her second proposal to Ye Li.

After Shu Lulu finished speaking, Ye Li sneaked a glance at Chu Ge, blushing as she nodded, "If Brother Chu has no objections, then I'm okay with anything."

Realizing Ye Li's gaze, Chu Ge felt his heart flutter. Listening to Ye Li's words, it seemed she might even have agreed to the first idea?

However, he definitely wouldn't ask such a question. It just crossed his mind, and seeing that Ye Li didn't object, he nodded, "Then it's settled, let's start."

Shu Lulu giggled, dealing Chu Ge's cards, "Uncle, go ahead, your little wife dealt you the cards, they're sure to be a good hand."

Chu Ge didn't stand on ceremony, reaching out to take his cards.

As Chu Ge took his cards, Ye Li also picked up hers, but she was feeling quite nervous inside. Her card skills were pretty bad, and she feared she might end up losing the most.

If it were just sleeping on the sofa, Ye Li didn't really mind, but… wouldn't that mean Chu Ge and Shu Lulu would end up sharing the bed?
