In the eyes of Qin Ruojing, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were just two fame-seeking butterflies, of course, that's putting it nicely. To be more blunt, you could call them two flies.

Of course, comparing them to flies might not reflect well on Chu Ge, who attracted them, so Qin Ruojing reluctantly compared them to butterflies and bees in her heart.

Qin Ruojing knew that Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan had met Chu Ge through He Qing's introduction. In the hearts of these two women, Chu Ge was always wearing the "cousin's high hat" from He Qing.

Obviously, this means that their efforts to curry favor with Chu Ge are not just to climb onto what they believe to be a wealthy, handsome man, using their charms to get some benefits from him, are they?

Therefore, Qin Ruojing had a strong disdain for these two women, feeling contempt for them from the bottom of her heart.

As today's gathering progressed, everyone else had gone about their business. She originally wanted to have a private chat with Tong Yaqi while waiting for Chu Ge, to tell Tong Yaqi about the ridiculous incident her sister caused on Chu Ge's birthday, and to discuss what to do if "Chu Ge wanted to do something between married couples with her."

After all, Tong Yaqi could be said to be her mentor in matters of love and had witnessed the entire emotional journey between her and Chu Ge. Therefore, Qin Ruojing had a hundred percent trust in Tong Yaqi, even if it was something awkward she couldn't discuss with anyone else, she could talk about it with Tong Yaqi.

But annoyingly, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan still refused to leave, which made Qin Ruojing quite angry.

Even though Qin Ruojing had subtly indicated that she hoped they would leave, these two women played dumb as if they couldn't hear the undertone in her words, still showing no intention of leaving.

The intention of these two women was clearly obvious, which only added to Qin Ruojing's disgust towards them, further convincing her of their ulterior motives towards Chu Ge.

Qin Ruojing intended to be more direct in asking them to leave. Just then, Chu Ge returned, so after some deliberation, she made such a gesture and said such words to observe these two women's reactions further.

The facts proved that she hadn't wronged these two women at all. With a slight test, seeing her intimacy with Chu Ge and confirming that Chu Ge was already married, these flirtatious women didn't feel good about it, right?

Without realizing it, Qin Ruojing, who was always quite composed, silently cursed in her heart, "Bitches!"

Her action and words were a formal declaration to Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan that Chu Ge was her husband, and they better not have any more funny ideas. If they wanted to latch onto a rich guy, they should find someone else to target.

While others were momentarily stunned, Qin Ruojing discreetly pinched Chu Ge. When Chu Ge's face revealed a barely perceptible wry smile, she lightly chuckled and said, "Ah, what? Did you listen to what I said?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking he hadn't understood a word she said, but he couldn't undermine Qin Ruojing in front of the other women, so he smiled cooperatively, nodded, and responded.

"By the way, Miss Chen and Miss Xu waited all this time just to have a drink with our Chu Ge, right?"

Qin Ruojing raised the corners of her mouth, turning her gaze towards Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan. Seeing them, she was slightly taken aback, her elegant brows furrowing as a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

These two women, upon hearing "our Chu Ge," showed no reaction? Instead, they returned to calm smiles? There wasn't the slightest awkwardness in their expressions?

Could it be she misunderstood them?

This thought had just crossed Qin Ruojing's mind when she amusingly dismissed it, thinking it only showed that these two women not only had pretty faces and nice figures but also had superb acting skills and could switch expressions quickly.

Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were not foolish. They had already sensed Qin Ruojing's unwelcome attitude towards them and understood her subtle words implying she wanted them to leave.

Now that Qin Ruojing spoke so bluntly, they knew she was formally giving them their marching orders.

Actually, without Qin Ruojing's words, they had planned this too. They stayed to see if Chu Ge was okay, and since he returned with his trademark smile, they were assured.

Before today's incident, they had honestly told Chu Ge that they never intended to disturb his life and wouldn't feel any grievance being his lover. As long as they had a place in Chu Ge's heart, they were content.

Thus, even though they were surprised upon learning Chu Ge had married Qin Ruojing, they could still face it calmly.

Chen Jiatong picked up her wine glass and looked at Xu Jingyuan. When Xu Jingyuan also picked up her glass, they stood up together and turned their gaze to Chu Ge.

"Manager Chu, let's toast to you. This drink is to thank you for taking care of us all this time."

"Ha, you two are the ambassadors of Tianqing Company. Isn't it natural for colleagues to support each other? Besides, I'm a fan of both of you. Talking like this makes it seem like we're outsiders."

Feeling the sincere looks from Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan, Chu Ge smiled casually, stood up, raised his glass and clinked with them. The three glasses clinked together, and the three of them drank it all in one go.

Qin Ruojing glanced at Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan, thinking to herself, the drink is finished, so shouldn't you two be getting on with whatever you need to do?

Yet, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan neither sat down nor mentioned saying goodbye.

Chen Jiatong picked up the beer, first filled Chu Ge's empty glass, then filled her own. She looked at Xu Jingyuan and they raised their glasses together, not only looking at Chu Ge but also at Qin Ruojing nearby.

"Manager Chu, Chairman, this glass is for Jingyuan and me hoping you two remain united forever, hand in hand for a century, your affection stronger than gold, happiness together."

Looking at Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan, Qin Ruojing sneered internally, nice words they say? Inside, they're probably wishing we hurry up and split so they can take advantage of it, right?

Of course, what she thought was not shown on Qin Ruojing's face. She smiled elegantly, said "Thank you," gave Chu Ge a gentle look, and then raised her glass with Chu Ge, drinking that glass with Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan.

Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were not oblivious people. After putting down their glasses, they smiled at the others present, preparing to say goodbye.

However, at that moment, Qin Ruojing suddenly remembered something that had made her quite suspicious earlier. She quickly contemplated for a moment and smiled at Chu Ge before Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan could speak.

"Oh, you mentioned meeting some friends outside, right? Which private room are they in? How about I join you to toast them?"

Hearing Qin Ruojing say this, Chu Ge immediately felt a headache. He thought the topic had already been bypassed and didn't expect Qin Ruojing to bring it back up. Isn't this exactly the pot you shouldn't lift?

Compared to Chu Ge, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan had a much bigger reaction. The smiles on their faces instantly froze and their pupils contracted suddenly, even forgetting the words they were about to say.

Their hearts were tightly twisted, rising directly to their throats, especially Xu Jingyuan, whose right hand holding the glass shook subconsciously. The glass fell to the ground with a piercing sound and shattered into pieces.

If Qin Ruojing really went to Chen Yujie's private room, who knows what the situation would be, but one thing is certain, it would definitely be a very terrible thing!

Once again noticing the change in expression on Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan's faces, Qin Ruojing thoroughly confirmed her suspicion. These two women were indeed with Chu Ge earlier, otherwise, why would they panic?

Involuntarily, Qin Ruojing's dislike for these two women grew more. Chu Ge merely went out to change clothes, and they took the opportunity to cling to him. As women, how could they be so shameless?

"I think there's no need for that. Those guys don't hold back with their words. Even when they're sober, they say anything without restraint. Now that they've drunk quite a bit, they're even more out of line, and you surely can't stand their kind of jokes."

Chu Ge hesitated slightly and came up with this excuse. He knew Qin Ruojing detested vulgar people, so saying this was targeted correctly.

"No worries, don't you also say a bunch of nonsense? I'm used to it. Besides, I'm just going to accompany you for a toast and then leave, they won't eat me alive, right?"

Qin Ruojing's words were watertight, clear and gentle, with a smile so gentle and warm. Yet Chu Ge clearly felt a hidden sharpness, an aggressive undertone, and he couldn't help feeling a bit irritated.

Qin Ruojing's words had hit the nail on the head. Wasn't Chen Yujie exactly trying to "eat" her? Last time they went to the provincial capital for a study trip, if it wasn't for the fact that he happened to be there, Qin Ruojing and Tong Yaqi would have been in danger, most likely having been "eaten" by Chen Yujie back then.

Seeing Chu Ge remain silent, Qin Ruojing chuckled lightly, "Could it be... you think I'm not presentable as your wife, afraid of losing face in front of your friends?"

At this moment, not only was Chu Ge troubled, but Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were also on edge, looking at each other, not knowing whether to leave or stay, what to say or not to say, feeling conflicted more than ever.

Involuntarily, after exchanging a glance, the two women cast an inquiring look at Chu Ge. Why not tell Qin Ruojing about such a courageous act?
