Thinking of this, Chen Jiatong couldn't help but feel a bit bitter, and suddenly realized a problem.

What is Chu Ge's status?

He's He Qing's cousin, a big figure whom even the bigwigs in this city treat with respect!

And what is her status?

She's just a minor actress, an insignificant figure in the entertainment industry.

A world of difference!

Even if Chu Ge insisted on doing this, it wouldn't be surprising. After all, in Chu Ge's eyes, she's just a slightly attractive, not annoying woman, an insignificant nobody. What right does she have to question Chu Ge's decision?

She and Xu Jingyuan have always wanted to win Chu Ge's favor, hoping that he would give them a helping hand, allowing them to hold their heads a little higher ever since.

When the slipper on her foot was removed by Chu Ge, Chen Jiatong sighed silently but forced a smile on her face, coyly saying to Chu Ge, "Young Master Chu, according to the game rules, are you going to tear off my clothes now?"

Chu Ge looked at Chen Jiatong with amusement, "Jiatong, how dedicated are you? Your foot's sprained, and you're still thinking about the game? Lie down properly, I'll help you handle this."

Chen Jiatong was stunned for a moment, while Chu Ge turned his head to look at Xu Jingyuan, "Help me hold her down, don't let her foot move around."

Xu Jingyuan was also a bit puzzled, "Young Master Chu, are you going to..."

Seeing the strange expressions on both women's faces, Chu Ge helplessly explained, "What else can I do? Of course, I'm going to help Jiatong with her sprain."

Xu Jingyuan came to her senses, hurriedly agreed, and placed her hands on Chen Jiatong's leg.

Chen Jiatong blushed, her heart warmed, realizing she'd been overthinking all along, misunderstanding Chu Ge's good intentions.

"Young Master Chu, you... you can do this?"

Chu Ge smiled, "I learned a bit before; you lie down, let me take a look at your foot first."

Chu Ge examined the twisted spot on Chen Jiatong's foot for a few seconds, then reached out his hand.

"Does it hurt here?"

"No, it doesn't."

"What about here?"

"Hiss... it hurts."

Having found the spot, Chu Ge looked up and said, "Jiatong, it might hurt a bit the first time, but bear with it and it'll be fine. Shall I start now?"

After saying this, Chu Ge suddenly froze; this situation, this conversation, felt so familiar.

With a slight recollection, Chu Ge immediately remembered where he'd seen such a scene before.

It was his first meeting with Qin Ruojing, when Qin Ruojing sprained her ankle while chasing a thug who stole her bag, and he was the one who helped set her ankle right. The conversation they had back then was almost identical to this one.

Unconsciously, he and Qin Ruojing had known each other for such a long time now.

Thinking of this, Chu Ge felt a slight melancholy, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards.

Chen Jiatong saw Chu Ge seemed a bit lost in thought and assumed he found her feet beautiful. Though that was the case, and she was quite pleased with her foot shape, she couldn't help but blush, taking note of it in her heart, considering it vital information for her.

"Young Master Chu, I'm ready, please proceed, sorry for the trouble."

Chu Ge returned to his senses, nodded, and observed Chen Jiatong's foot again. Subconsciously comparing it to Qin Ruojing's, he quickly concluded that Qin Ruojing's feet were prettier.

At the same time, as Chu Ge placed his large hand on Chen Jiatong's ankle and was about to apply force, Chen Jiatong's body suddenly trembled slightly.

"Chu... Young Master Chu, be gentle, I'm a bit scared."

The corners of Chu Ge's mouth lifted higher; he remembered back then Qin Ruojing was pretty tough. The same women, both with sprained ankles, yet Chen Jiatong and Qin Ruojing's reactions were completely different.

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle."

"Mm... Ah!"

Just as Chu Ge finished speaking, Chen Jiatong, not fully mentally prepared, heard a "pop" in the air, and immediately let out a soft cry, drawing in a sharp breath, her eyes instantly turning red, with a tear soon streaming down.

This scene caught Chu Ge's eye, prompting him to do another subconscious comparison between Chen Jiatong and Qin Ruojing. Back then, Qin Ruojing had just let out a muffled groan, but here Chen Jiatong ended up in tears from the pain.

Qin Ruojing is really strong.

Chu Ge thought to himself, and a slight smile unknowingly crept onto his lips. Ever since he met Qin Ruojing, he had admired her. For a woman in her twenties to build her career to this level was truly no easy feat.

Chu Ge removed his large hand from Chen Jiatong's ankle. Chen Jiatong wiped away her tears, and said pitifully, "Chu, that really hurt. I wasn't even ready yet; why did you suddenly do it?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "If I waited for you to be ready, it probably would never happen. Come on, try to move gently and see if there's still any pain."

Chen Jiatong was taken aback. She really couldn't believe that Chu Ge's casual touch could fix her foot.

"Chu, are you saying I can move this foot now?"

"Why don't you try and see?"

Chu Ge nodded, flashing a carefree smile.

With some doubt, Chen Jiatong cautiously moved her ankle. Although there was still some pain, it was entirely different from the pain before. She then sat up from the bed, gently tapping the floor with her right toes, her expression turning bizarre.

This...is incredible, isn't it?

Could it really be fine now?

Not only was Chen Jiatong in disbelief, but Xu Jingyuan also looked at Chu Ge like he was a marvel after noticing Chen Jiatong's expression change.

"Alright, don't engage in any vigorous activities in the next few days, and you'll be fine. You both rest now, I'm leaving."

Under the astonished gazes of the two women, Chu Ge smiled slightly and made his farewell.

"Chu, you're... leaving already?"

Surprised by Chu Ge's words, Chen Jiatong asked with a strange look.

Chu Ge grinned, "Don't worry, my technique is definitely spot-on."

Chen Jiatong quickly shook her head, "No, Chu, that's not what I meant."

Chu Ge teased with a knowing smile, "Then what do you mean?"

"Chu... you came all this way, and we're both here. Don't you want to do something?"

Chu Ge chuckled, nodding, "Yes, I did, from the moment I got your call, and even more so when I saw you two running around earlier."

Chen Jiatong's gaze toward Chu Ge grew even more peculiar, and Xu Jingyuan hesitated and asked, "Then why did you say you want to leave?"

Helplessly scratching his head, Chu Ge said, "Jiatong's foot is injured. I can't just think about having fun without considering her pain, can I? What if she gets hurt again and it leaves a lasting injury?"

Upon hearing Chu Ge's words, Chen Jiatong's eyes reddened more, and another tear fell, but this time it wasn't from pain; it was genuine emotion.

Xu Jingyuan, on the other hand, pursed her lips, looking at Chu Ge with genuine admiration and tenderness.

In their previous interactions with Chu Ge, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan had always flattered and pleased him. Although they genuinely saw the good in Chu Ge, there was a bit of pretense involved.

But at this moment, Chu Ge's simple and sincere words truly moved them, with no trace of falsehood or pretense.

There's an old saying in the Hua Country, describing how eating and sex are innate human desires. So to Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan, a man's attraction is only natural and nothing to be ashamed of.

However, among the men they had encountered, many were either hypocrites who spoke of virtue but acted disgracefully, or bullies who took women for granted.

Yet Chu Ge's obvious attraction was open and honest, and despite his desires, he still considered others. It was rare and touching, and how could they not be moved?

Especially for Chen Jiatong. If she thought Chu Ge wanted to sleep with her out of obligation, her heart would feel some bitterness. But now, she was willing to give herself freely, not caring about the benefits she'd hoped to gain from him.

Before Chu Ge said those words, she valued the hidden power behind him. But after hearing him, what she valued became simply Chu Ge himself.

"Chu, my foot is fine now. Why not have Tongtong tend to you? She sincerely feels it would be her honor to be your woman."

Chen Jiatong stepped off the bed, enduring the slight pain still coming from her ankle, her gaze full of warmth as she approached Chu Ge and gently held one of his hands.

Xu Jingyuan went to Chu Ge's other side, grasping his other hand, and softly said, "Chu, speaking from the heart, I hope you won't be offended. Only today did I truly believe you are different from other men. Meeting a man like you is a great fortune for me, Chu, please don't go, alright?"

Hearing these words from the two women, Chu Ge felt at a loss, but alongside that was a little bit of emotion and a small sense of pride.

The frustration was because since he met them, he'd consistently and gently advised them not to waste their efforts on him. If they wanted to succeed, earn respect, and elevate themselves, their best bet was to rely on their efforts. What they achieved on their own would be the most real and fulfilling.

The emotion came from their expressions, which seemed to show genuine admiration for him.
