Even though Ye Li knew she wasn't Chu Ge's girlfriend, whoever he wanted to be with was completely his freedom, and she had no right or position to interfere.

Even though Ye Li also knew that this wasn't the first time Shu Lulu stayed over, the thought of Shu Lulu sleeping in the bed she slept in last night, while she had to sleep on the sofa, still made her feel quite uncomfortable inside.

The three of them, with different thoughts, were holding playing cards at the table.

As time went by, to Ye Li's surprise, even though her card skills weren't great, she ended up winning more than losing. Among the three of them, the one who lost the most was, surprisingly, Shu Lulu, who originally suggested playing cards.

As it neared ten o'clock, the situation at the card table was that Chu Ge was winning big, while Shu Lulu was losing terribly. Even if Shu Lulu drew four twos and two kings in every hand from now on, it wouldn't change her fate.

Involuntarily, Ye Li breathed a long sigh of relief; tonight, she could sleep with Chu Ge once again.

However, after feeling relieved, Ye Li felt a bit guilty.

After all, Shu Lulu also liked Chu Ge so much, and she had been flicked on the forehead so many times just now. If this young girl had to sleep on the sofa, she would surely feel very sad, and her already bruised head would surely hurt a lot.

At 9:55, Shu Lulu pouted her lips, which could hang a soy sauce bottle, seemingly praying for a miracle, and nervously opened her playing cards bit by bit.

Her cards were unconnected, missing a seven from a sequence, and the highest she had was a single king. Even if she won the bid to be the landlord, having two kings and one two wouldn't ensure a win.

"I quit, I quit. What is this even!"

Frustrated, she tossed her bad hand onto the table and unwillingly revealed the bottom cards, a pair of sixes and an eight, which were of no help to her.

Chu Ge laughed heartily, "I told you your last name isn't suited for playing cards, but you wouldn't believe me. Got nothing to say now, huh?"

With that, he threw his two kings, four queens, and a sequence onto the table one by one.

Seeing Chu Ge's powerful hand, Shu Lulu felt even more frustrated and vented with a huff, "Uncle, you must be cheating, otherwise, how could you always draw such amazing cards?"

Chu Ge smirked, "It's all about good luck. What, lost and now trying to back out?"

"Who said I'm not owning up! It's just the sofa, what's the big deal?"

Shu Lulu got up from the table and lay directly on the sofa, forgetting even the pain in her forehead. But as soon as her head touched the soft sofa, the pain made her nearly jump up, letting out an "Ouch."

Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh louder.

Seeing Chu Ge not comforting her but laughing out loud instead, Shu Lulu felt more wronged, rubbing her head and turning her back on Chu Ge to sulk alone.

"Brother Chu, Lulu she…"

Ye Li stood up from the card table, looked at Shu Lulu, and spoke up with a heavy heart.

However, Ye Li was interrupted by Chu Ge halfway through, "Don't worry about her, let's quickly wash up and go to bed. Ah, the bed is always more comfortable!"

Looking at Shu Lulu silently sulking on the sofa, Chu Ge deliberately teased loudly and led Ye Li to the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

"Brother Chu, are you really going to let Lulu sleep on the sofa?" Ye Li, squeezing toothpaste onto a toothbrush for Chu Ge, asked with concern.

"What else can I do? There's only one bedroom in my house. Or do you not want to sleep on the bed with me?" Chu Ge didn't answer but asked with a smile instead.

Ye Li hesitated, conflicted and troubled, moving her lips a couple of times but not saying anything in the end.

Seeing Ye Li like this, Chu Ge suddenly felt he was perhaps going too far with the joke, so he decided not to tease her anymore, "Actually, I never intended to let Lulu sleep on the sofa from the beginning."

Ye Li was about to brush her teeth, but hearing this, she paused, bit her lip, and nodded with a forlorn expression, "Then... then I'll let her have the room later."

"Let her have the room?"

Chu Ge repeated back, immediately realizing that Ye Li must have misunderstood again, thinking he wanted to sleep with Shu Lulu, which made him amused and helpless.

"What are you thinking? I meant I'll sleep on the sofa, and you and Lulu sleep in the bed."

Chu Ge shook his head with a chuckle, explaining more clearly.

"But... how can that be? Brother Chu, this is your home after all. If you always sleep on the sofa, how would that look?"

Chu Ge shrugged, mumbling while brushing his teeth, "Then what should we do?"

Ye Li hesitated slightly and said, "How about you and Lulu sleep in the bed, and I'll sleep on the sofa. Otherwise, I really can't feel right about it."

Though she made the same suggestion to sleep on the sofa, her feelings were completely different. Before, she was filled with bitterness, but now she was more than willing.

"Alright, stop arguing with me. It's settled then."

Chu Ge finished washing up, smiled at Ye Li, and then left the bathroom, coming over to the sofa.

"Hey little girl, is the sofa comfy?"

Shu Lulu said nothing.

Chu Ge flicked Shu Lulu's forehead again, but this time in a spot he hadn't flicked before. "Hey? You're ignoring me in my own house? Aren't you afraid I'll kick you out in the middle of the night?"

"Comfy, very comfy! You should hurry back to bed and cuddle with your lovely wife!"

Shu Lulu didn't turn around, but replied with a huff.

Chu Ge chuckled and shook his head, "Alright, get up. This comfy spot, I can't bear to let you sleep here."

Shu Lulu was stunned for a moment, wondering if she heard it wrong. She immediately flipped over, sitting up on the sofa.

Even though her forehead bumped against the sofa and hurt a bit, Shu Lulu didn't care. She looked at Chu Ge in surprise and asked, "Uncle, what did you say? You're going to sleep on the sofa?"

Chu Ge nodded, "Yes, you heard right. Now get up, go wash your face and brush your teeth, then sleep well in bed with your aunt."

Shu Lulu, who was just feeling wronged, suddenly felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.

"Uncle, I... I feel so awkward about this."

Chu Ge laughed, shaking his head speechlessly, "If you're so embarrassed, then just stick to the sofa. I'll go to bed."

"No, no, no, I'll go."

Seeing Chu Ge really turn to leave, Shu Lulu quickly grabbed his arm, standing up from the sofa.

"Why? Weren't you feeling embarrassed?"

Shu Lulu rarely blushed, but then her eyes suddenly twinkled, and she put on a serious face.

"I'm embarrassed to let you sleep on the sofa. But as your little wife, it's rare to have a chance to be with your lovely wife. I must cherish this opportunity well, maybe even learn a thing or two about how to make you happy."

Chu Ge rubbed Shu Lulu's little head, shaking his head in amused disbelief, "You really have a way with words."

Shu Lulu giggled, "Uncle, I'll go then."

With that, she playfully smacked Chu Ge on the butt, made a funny face, and then dashed to the bathroom.

Chu Ge watched Shu Lulu's cheeky antics with amusement, lying back down on the sofa. He found the situation truly speechless, as Ye Li said, this was the apartment he rented, yet he couldn't even sleep in his own bed and had to settle on the sofa.

Thinking back to everything that had happened since he returned to Lidu city, Chu Ge really felt at a loss. He was practically becoming a sofa specialist.

Just as Chu Ge was musing about it, he saw Ye Li come out of the bathroom, carrying a basin for washing feet, her face flushed as she approached the sofa. Shu Lulu, meanwhile, with a toothbrush in her mouth, watched in curiosity.

While Shu Lulu was puzzled, Chu Ge knew well what Ye Li intended to do. He hurriedly sat up from the sofa and said, "Ye Li, thanks, just leave the basin and towel here, go back to bed."

However, Ye Li shook her head, her face red, "Brother Chu, let me do it. You always said I wash comfortably, I just want to do something for you."

As she spoke, Ye Li squatted down beside Chu Ge, placing the towel and soap aside, then put Chu Ge's feet in the basin, her small hands starting to scrub them.

"Clatter"

Seeing this scene, Shu Lulu finally understood why Ye Li brought the basin and was stunned, wide-eyed and dumbfounded, not even noticing when her toothbrush fell to the floor.

"Uncle, you... you actually have Sister Ye Li wash your feet? That's so unfair!"

Shu Lulu quickly rinsed the foam from her mouth with a mouthful of water from the cup, shouting incredulously.

"Lulu, no, Brother Chu never asked me to. I wanted to do it myself."

Before Chu Ge could speak, Ye Li, her face flushed, turned around and quickly defended Chu Ge.

Shu Lulu froze again, blinked hard, and exaggeratedly said, "Oh my! Sister, you are so amazing! No wonder Uncle seems to like you, the lovely wife, more. If I were a man, having a woman willingly wash my feet would make me happy to death!"

Ye Li pursed her lips, her face showing a mix of shyness and happiness. She didn't say anything more to Shu Lulu, focusing again on Chu Ge's feet, diligently continuing her task.

Seeing the genuine happiness and sweetness on Ye Li's face, Shu Lulu was truly shaken, her expression turning peculiar as she walked out of the bathroom, stopping beside Ye Li.

"Sister, I finally know why I'm not as good as you. Losing to you, I really don't feel wronged at all."

Shu Lulu sighed, and shoulder to shoulder with Ye Li, she too squatted down beside the basin.
