Just as Chu Ge finished speaking, Qin Ruojing and Tong Yaqi hadn't even had time to ask anything when there was a "thump thump" at the door.

The two women exchanged glances, their expressions filled with a hint of nervousness. Chu Ge gave them a reassuring smile and a "don't worry" look before opening the door.

Standing at the door were two large men in suits, each nearly 1.9 meters tall. Their bulging muscles stretched the fabric of their suits tight, clearly appearing as bodyguards.

Facing the gazes of the two big men, Chu Ge smiled slightly and said, "And you are?"

"We are from Young Master Chen Yujie's side. Young Master Chen wants to ask the two ladies if they're disregarding him. Why have neither of you attended the social gathering yet?"

The two big men completely ignored Chu Ge. One of them looked at Qin Ruojing and spoke with an overbearing tone.

"We..."

Qin Ruojing was just about to say she and Tong Yaqi could tidy up and go over, planning to adapt to the situation, but Chu Ge spoke first.

"Disregarding him? Haha... Since he wants to invite our chairman to the gathering, why send two dogs over? Isn't that also disregarding our chairman?"

At this moment, not to mention the two big men at the door, even Qin Ruojing and Tong Yaqi couldn't believe that Chu Ge would say something like that. Inside and outside the room, everyone was taken aback.

What an arrogant thing to say!

"Don't understand? As expected, talking to dogs is troublesome."

In the astonished eyes of the two big men, Chu Ge stood at the door, helplessly shaking his head.

The big man who had questioned first came back to his senses, his face turning extremely ugly, and he said angrily, "Kid! What did you say? Try saying that again!"

"Get lost, I don't have time to deal with jerks like you. Go back and tell him, if he wants to invite someone, he should come himself."

After saying this, Chu Ge slammed the door shut. One of the big men had intended to rush into the room but was caught off guard and slammed his entire face into the swiftly closed door. His nose almost broke, and the loud "bang" left his ears ringing as he staggered back several steps.

"Damn! You've got guts, kid!"

Since becoming part of the Chen Family, this big man had never been so humiliated. Covering his nose, he cursed angrily and wanted to smash the door.

The other big man frowned, holding him back, "Young Master Chen asked us to invite them up, not to make a scene. If that kid dares speak like that, he's either ignorant or has some backing. Let's head back and report to Young Master Chen, and let him decide."

"Damn it, I'll settle this with you later!"

The aggrieved big man's face twitched. Although unwilling, he knew his companion was right. He kicked the door violently one more time, cursed, and then reluctantly turned to leave.

Inside the room, Qin Ruojing and Tong Yaqi looked at Chu Ge in disbelief, as if they were observing a monster. When the door was kicked heavily with a "bang," both women trembled slightly, finally bringing them back to their senses.

Looking at Chu Ge, who turned around with his usual carefree smile as if nothing had happened, Qin Ruojing furiously asked, "Chu Ge, are you crazy?"

Chu Ge smirked, "I'm perfectly fine, quite normal."

Qin Ruojing fell onto the sofa, her face pale, not wanting to say a word further out of anger. Tong Yaqi bit her lip, asking tentatively, "Is this your plan?"

Chu Ge nodded matter-of-factly, "How about it, isn't it exhilarating?"

Tong Yaqi slapped her forehead exasperatedly, giving up hope on Chu Ge, she turned to Qin Ruojing urgently, "Xiaojing, while Chen Yujie hasn't come yet, let's quickly check out and leave here immediately."

A wry smile appeared on Qin Ruojing's face as she shook her head, "Leaving is easy, and then what? Just with those few words from Chu Ge, he's already thoroughly offended Chen Yujie. He was, after all, standing up for us two... Sigh!"

Although Qin Ruojing didn't articulate it clearly, the meaning was obvious, showing her concern for Chu Ge's sake. Tong Yaqi sighed, saying no more, and sat beside Qin Ruojing on the sofa.

Both Qin Ruojing and Tong Yaqi were full of worry, the atmosphere in the room becoming quite heavy. Meanwhile, Chu Ge nonchalantly sat on the computer chair, opened his computer, and started playing a single-player game.

Initially, he didn't intend to explain anything, but upon hearing Qin Ruojing's words, he was somewhat surprised, not expecting that in such a situation she wasn't blaming him for being reckless or worrying about her own concerns, but rather worrying about him.

Considering Qin Ruojing's kindness, he felt obliged to relieve her worries.

Spinning the chair around, Chu Ge turned his gaze to Qin Ruojing, grinning as he shared his thoughts.

In Chunhua Hall, Chen Yujie held a glass of red wine, surrounded by a flock of people, like stars revolving around the moon.

Chen Yujie knew these people were here to curry favor with him because of his father's influence, observing his reactions, and saying things he liked to hear. He didn't find this problematic, instead quite enjoying it.

The only thing slightly marring the scene was the absence of Qin Ruojing and Tong Yaqi. These two women were the true reason for hosting the gathering today.

However, Chen Yujie wasn't in a hurry. After all, he had already sent people to "invite" them, and he presumed those two women wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, Chen Yujie found this much more interesting. If these two women had eagerly come to him, he would have found it boring instead.

"I guess those two women should be coming up soon, right? What kind of tricks should I play with them? I wonder how skilled they are, and if their screams sound good. Tsk tsk, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Just as Chen Yujie was excitedly fantasizing, he saw his two bodyguards walking in through the door, which caught his eye, but he soon realized something was off.

Why were there only the two of them, where are the girls?

He looked behind the two bodyguards, but there was no sign of them, definitely not.

Damn? How strange, could it be that these two girls really have such a strong personality and dared to refuse?

Chen Yujie frowned slightly, walked over toward the two bodyguards, and the people surrounding him wisely made way for him, not following closely, though their attention remained on him.

Reaching the two bodyguards, Chen Yujie asked, "What's going on? Where are they?"

One of the bodyguards quickly explained, "Young Master Chen, it's like this..."

After hearing this, Chen Yujie didn't get angry but instead laughed, squinting his eyes and licking his lips, "Good, very good, interesting. Then I'll go personally, I want to see what that guy has that makes him dare challenge me. You two come with me."

With that, Chen Yujie led the two bodyguards out of Chunhua Hall. As he left, the crowd watched his back, whispering among themselves.

"Those two women, they actually dared to not give Chen Yujie face? Are they crazy?"

"Which company are they from?"

"If I remember correctly, they're from Lidu City, part of Tianjiao Group. The younger one is the chairman of Tianjiao Group."

"Sigh... being a woman in business is really not easy, especially for such beautiful women, they're too easily targeted. This time, such a delicate cabbage is about to be snatched."

"Not just one, judging by Chen Yujie's attitude, he seems interested in both of them. Truly pitiful."

"What's pitiful? Maybe those two women deliberately refused to entice him, to spark Chen Yujie's interest in them."

"Exactly, I think maybe they didn't actually refuse and instead invited Young Master Chen to their room to skip straight to the last step."

For a moment, opinions in Chunhua Hall were divided. Most of the men sighed in frustration, while most of the women were envious and jealous.

As Chen Yujie headed downstairs with the two bodyguards, Chu Ge finished explaining to Qin Ruojing and Tong Yaqi. The two women exchanged glances, somewhat accepting Chu Ge's words, yet still carrying a degree of doubt and worry in their eyes.

Tong Yaqi turned her gaze to Chu Ge, hesitantly asking, "Are you sure this will work?"

Chu Ge smiled, "Don't worry, it'll be fine."

At this moment, Qin Ruojing showed her decisive side, took a deep breath, patted Tong Yaqi's hand, and resolutely nodded to Chu Ge.

"Let's do it your way! However, since this issue started because of me, I can't let you handle it alone, count me in."

Chu Ge broke out in a cold sweat, speechless, "Why are you meddling now? I can handle it myself."

Qin Ruojing suddenly smiled sweetly, walked over to Chu Ge, gave him a gentle smile, and said softly, "Of course not, since I'm your girlfriend, we're a team. How can I let you face it alone?"

Seeing Qin Ruojing display that expression again, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel a chill, preferring to face someone like Chen Yujie, an arrogant playboy, instead of Qin Ruojing like this.

Chu Ge leaned back in his computer chair, "Big sister, I beg you, can you not do this? It creeps me out."

In Chu Ge's opinion, speaking to Qin Ruojing like this would surely earn him a displeased glare from her.

Yet Qin Ruojing just chuckled, "Can't handle it?"

Chu Ge nodded, "Yeah."

Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, smiling triumphantly, "Whether you can or not, you have to deal with it. We've got a long way to go together."

Chu Ge broke out in a cold sweat internally, suddenly wishing Chen Yujie would hurry up and come over.

Tong Yaqi felt speechless but also greatly admired Qin Ruojing. In such a situation, she thought it remarkable that Qin Ruojing could adjust her mentality so quickly. She never expected Qin Ruojing to have the mind to tease Chu Ge and pretend to flirt.

Indeed, these two aren't to be viewed in the eyes of ordinary people, maybe they will actually end up together.

Just then, a series of increasingly loud and aggressive footsteps echoed through the hallway.
