Chu Ge made his own plans in his heart, a broad smile appearing on his face as he nodded decisively, "Alright, you all take your time here, eat and drink well. As for me, I'll leave first."

A flash of astonishment passed through Chen Jue's eyes. You have to know, Chu Ge is someone who could make outrageous demands when a few movers acted roughly towards his woman. When did he become so agreeable?

As the saying goes, "When something unusual happens, it's a sign of something sinister," even though Chu Ge was smiling warmly now, Chen Jue instinctively felt that this matter was far from over, feeling a sense of unease.

However, since Chu Ge had said it like this, he couldn't say much more for the time being and could only suppress his doubts, smiling at Chu Ge, "Then... May I see Mr. Chu off?"

"That won't be necessary."

Chu Ge smiled, casually reinstalling the window he had removed. Although this required both skill and brute force, he finished it quietly and efficiently in just a few moves.

Chen Jue hesitated for a moment but ultimately said nothing. Chu Ge's "no need" was clearly not a polite refusal but a straightforward one.

Since Chu Ge had shown such evident concern for these two women, even if he saw Chu Ge off, he probably wouldn't get anything out of him anyway.

Glancing separately at the expressions of Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan, which were very complicated, Chu Ge gave them a soft smile, casting a "It's okay, it's all over" look, and then stepped towards the door.

The two women hurried to catch up, but they were not as composed as Chu Ge. They slightly lowered their heads, nerves taut, hearts pounding "thump thump" non-stop, keeping an eye on Chen Yujie and the others from the corners of their eyes, fearing they would suddenly renege and do something that would catch Chu Ge off guard.

It was only when Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan finally walked out of the Qiuyue Hall unharmed that they let out a long sigh of relief, not caring if they might be spotted by people in Qiushi Hall, grabbing Chu Ge's hands from either side.

Chu Ge's palms were so warm and broad, so reassuring to them.

Inside the Qiuyue Hall, Chen Jue watched as the door closed behind them, the smile on his face slowly fading, and he uncommonly furrowed his brow slightly, his expression becoming a bit more serious.

"Yujie, pack up, we're leaving."

Chen Yujie looked at Chen Jue, "Leave?"

Chen Jue nodded, "Yeah, although I can't say I know Chu Ge very well, his temper certainly isn't this good. I suspect he'll be back soon to make trouble for you again."

As he spoke, Chen Jue nudged Gao Wei, who had fainted from fright.

Hearing Chen Jue say this, Chen Yujie, who was already feeling frustrated, became even more unwilling, sneering disdainfully, "Brother, are you saying I'm afraid of him?"

Chen Jue silently cursed "idiot," cursing both Chen Yujie and himself. He had lost a bit of his usual calmness, forgetting that Chen Yujie had already been spoiled beyond recognition at home and had a similarly difficult temperament.

Thinking so, Chen Jue gave a helpless smile, "Of course not, it's just that a wise man knows not to suffer immediate losses. We're not in the provincial capital right now. If he comes again, it's bound to be troublesome. If you see him, it'll just be annoying. Why make yourself unhappy?"

Chen Yujie snorted disdainfully, "Brother, you're overthinking it. That Chu isn't stupid. He has to weigh things before acting. Letting him take those two women away was already a huge gesture to him. Why would he come looking for trouble again?"

Chen Jue just felt a headache coming on. What Chen Jiatong said earlier was not wrong at all; Chen Yujie was indeed too arrogant and self-righteous.

However, Chen Jue also knew that with Chen Yujie's family background, it was inevitable he'd develop such an overbearing personality. Even though Chen Yujie might not be completely unwilling to listen to him, having just suffered such a big loss, it's hard to swallow his pride.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Jue still didn't feel secure and smiled slightly, "Yujie, are you planning to let it go just like that, or… talk things over with Chu Ge again?"

"Let it go like that? Brother, are you joking?" Chen Yujie sneered, gulping down a beer, slamming the glass down heavily, gritting his teeth, eyes filled with venom, "Of course, I want to have a good game with that Chu, damn it, he dared to ruin my plans twice!"

"As expected." Chen Jue smiled again, "Actually, before I asked you, I already had the answer. It's just that if I can think of this, Chu Ge probably can too, so..."

"Brother, I feel like you're always boosting others' morale and undermining yourself," Chen Yujie's expression grew more impatient, casting a glance at Chen Jue, "Alright, no more talk of this."

Though Chen Yujie spoke tough, he somewhat agreed with Chen Jue in his heart, feeling quite torn about whether to leave.

Standing in the corridor, Chu Ge looked towards Qiushi Hall, then at the two women beside him, feeling a bit more helpless. If Qin Ruojing happened to come out and saw this scene, things would get even livelier today.

Even if it wasn't Qin Ruojing who saw it, if someone else had seen it, wouldn't it still be awkward?

However, feeling the two women still trembling uncontrollably, Chu Ge couldn't bear to ask them to remove their hands immediately. What just happened was surely a nightmare for them; they were truly terrified.

Just as the two women stopped trembling so violently and their bodies relaxed a bit, Chu Ge was about to say something when the door of Qiushi Hall in the corridor suddenly opened.

Xia Feifei stepped out of the Qiushi Hall, casually glanced to the right, and immediately saw Chu Ge and the two women holding his hands.

Not only did Xia Feifei see Chu Ge, but Chu Ge also saw Xia Feifei. Instantly, black lines appeared on his forehead. It seemed his fears were coming true; how could Xia Feifei come out at such a perfect time? If she had come out just a few seconds later, nothing would have happened!

In Chu Ge's helpless gaze, Xia Feifei first froze suddenly. She had been stretching lazily, but stopped halfway, with her arms half-raised, as if she was about to surrender.

Then, Xia Feifei looked at Chu Ge with a quirky expression, a sly smile quickly appeared on her face, she covered her eyes with her hands and made a gesture of zipping her lips, then turned back to Qiushi Hall, closing the door behind her.

Actually, Xia Feifei merely wanted to come out to buy some yogurt but unexpectedly got an unexpected surprise once again.

Back in Qiushi Hall, Xia Feifei couldn't help but think, hmm, she must find an opportunity to "extort" Chu Ge well, as for the hush money, hehe, what should she ask for?

Thinking about it, Xia Feifei unknowingly became distracted.

Until she suddenly felt someone kick her foot under the table, startling her back to focus. She looked at Luo Suyun with a guilty conscience, her expression somewhat bewildered, unsure why Luo Suyun kicked her.

As Luo Suyun signaled Xia Feifei with a glance, she finally heard someone call out.

"Manager Xia?"

"Chairman, you called me?"

"I called you several times, what were you thinking about, so absorbed?"

Qin Ruojing smiled slightly, not displeased because Xia Feifei was distracted when she called her. In private interactions with employees, she generally didn't put on airs, especially in such celebratory occasions.

"Nothing." Xia Feifei scratched her head. She certainly couldn't tell the truth, not to others, and even less to Qin Ruojing.

"By the way, did you see Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan when you went out just now? They've been out for quite a while."

Qin Ruojing actually wanted to ask if Xia Feifei had seen Chu Ge. She was a bit puzzled about why Chu Ge was taking so long to change. He should almost be back even if he went shopping for clothes.

But in front of so many people, she felt it wasn't appropriate to ask directly, just hoping Xia Feifei was clever enough to catch her hint.

If it were the former Xia Feifei who worked in the Tianjiao Film and Television Administration Department, she might not have understood Qin Ruojing's hidden meaning. But ever since Xia Feifei became a department manager at Tianqing Company, interacting with different people, she had gradually improved in reading between the lines.

Hearing Qin Ruojing's question and noticing the subtle difference in her eyes, Xia Feifei had a lightbulb moment, realizing the chairman wanted to ask if she had seen Chu Ge.

Although this was indeed an opportunity to impress the chairman, to not complicate things for Chu Ge, coupled with a little personal agenda, Xia Feifei could only play dumb even understanding.

"Yes, they really have been out for quite a while." Xia Feifei apologized with a smile and shook her head, "But I didn't see them either."

Xia Feifei improved not only in reading people but also in her actions and speech. Even if the chairman seemed approachable, she was still the chairman. If Xia Feifei were to bluntly respond to Qin Ruojing with "I don't know, didn't see," it wouldn't feel right, she had to add some embellishment even in idle words.

Qin Ruojing smiled at Xia Feifei and didn't say much more, yet she felt a bit disappointed in her heart. She wasn't sure whether Xia Feifei didn't catch her hint or indeed hadn't seen Chu Ge; either way, she didn't get the answer she wanted.

After sitting for a while, Qin Ruojing gradually became restless. Where on earth had Chu Ge gone?

Coincidentally, after Chu Ge left, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan also went out. Could it be that all three of them are together right now?
