Although Chu Ge just held Qin Ruojing's hand, Qin Ruojing was startled and exclaimed, "Ah!"

Qin Ruojing's scream was loud. Since Chu Ge met her, it was the first time he heard her make such a high-decibel sound.

Qin Ruojing panicked, utterly panicked, because with the smile on Chu Ge's face, coupled with his current action, even if she thought it through with a strand of hair, she knew what he meant by the thing most important for couples to do.

Actually, it wasn't that Chu Ge was that eager; he was really pushed to his wit's end by Qin Ruojing, so he decided to use this method to forcibly end the topic.

Today had already been chaotic enough, and he was already quite annoyed. At this moment, the atmosphere between him and Qin Ruojing had just gotten a little better. He didn't want Qin Ruojing to go on and on about this, where neither of them could convince the other, leading to another argument.

Such a result was definitely not what Chu Ge wanted to happen, and it was definitely a real possibility. By using this method, he could both change the topic and relax, making it a pretty good choice.

While Chu Ge was calculating his move, Qin Ruojing had her considerations.

Upon hearing what Chu Ge said, Qin Ruojing truly became anxious. While trying to pull her hand away from Chu Ge, she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Chu Ge, let go first. I'm talking to you. Don't mess around. Let's finish talking first, hurry up, don't mess around."

"Let's talk after we've finished our proper business," Chu Ge chuckled, still holding Qin Ruojing's hand.

Qin Ruojing inwardly groaned, feeling her heart leap into her throat, with her body and nerves highly tense.

If she and Chu Ge had done anything before, she might have let him be at this point, but the key was they hadn't, and she hadn't had time to signal her savior, so she absolutely couldn't let Chu Ge succeed in his invasion.

But Qin Ruojing also knew that she and Chu Ge were already a couple, and as her man, Chu Ge's need for her was entirely normal. After all, this was a husband's right and a wife's obligation.

What's more, she not only misunderstood Chu Ge but also subtly questioned him in the presence of outsiders, which was unfair. Even if Chu Ge seemed to be smiling now, how could he not mind at all?

If she struggled too violently now, that wouldn't seem right either. It might... no, it definitely would deteriorate the atmosphere between them, adding fuel to the fire.

They had just gotten married. If they argued again, then... sigh! A headache, such a headache.

Qin Ruojing originally thought she was well-prepared, but she didn't expect that she still overlooked something. Chu Ge was already advancing to this step so quickly, and her heart was truly in turmoil.

Qin Ruojing's nervousness and anxiety made her expression a bit unnatural. Chu Ge didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a shy reaction. He quickly set aside his worries, focusing only on the woman who officially became his wife today.

Of course, Chu Ge also sensed Qin Ruojing's resistance, but he didn't think much of it, believing she was just reserved about such matters, even though they had done it once before when both were drunk and had little memory of the experience.

This time, both had just sipped lightly at the dinner table, remaining very clear-headed, so the feeling was naturally different.

Chu Ge found it both funny and perplexing. Qin Ruojing was the same age as him, and yet she was this reserved about such matters at their age.

On a small scale, while this wasn't as essential as eating and sleeping, if bottled up for too long, it wasn't good for the body, was it?

On a larger scale, this was also a grand gesture to ensure the prosperity and continuity of human society. Without this, where would the next generation come from?

Beyond wordlessness and amusement, what Chu Ge felt more was surprise and satisfaction.

To be honest, a woman like Qin Ruojing, who was married yet still shy about such matters, wasn't something you'd find at every turn; it was quite rare.

Chu Ge wasn't opposed to women who could swiftly get into the mood, but Qin Ruojing's reserve at this moment gave him a unique sense of flavor.

So, Chu Ge restrained himself, not wanting to rush things. He wanted to offer Qin Ruojing, the woman who became his wife, the utmost tenderness, giving her an unforgettable, beautiful experience in a clear state.

Thinking this, Chu Ge approached Qin Ruojing with deep affection. However, before he could get close, Qin Ruojing instinctively pushed him away with both hands, shaking her head in horror, "No... don't."

Being unexpectedly pushed aside by Qin Ruojing already surprised Chu Ge. Seeing her displaying such an expression left him stunned. He could understand Qin Ruojing's reserve but couldn't fathom her having such a strong reaction.

Blinking, Chu Ge smiled, "What's wrong, my love?"

Even though Chu Ge wore a gentle smile, he was already a bit angry inside.

No kidding, who wouldn't be angry? What kind of chaotic mess is this today? First, he didn't want to attend this celebration banquet, but Qin Ruojing insisted on bringing him over.

Fine, whatever, since he's here, but what happened after he arrived? He thought it would just be a lively meal, but the things that happened were downright unpleasant.

Especially the incident with Chen Yujie, undoubtedly a nuisance, a hidden threat, and now the grudge between them has just deepened!

Chu Ge is actually someone who really hates trouble, but some things just can't be avoided. What else can he do, just watch Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan get bullied and do nothing?

Just like before, although Chu Ge doesn't claim to be a good person, he's at least not bad, and Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were definitely sincere to him. Given their insistence at the time, how could he ignore it?

Fine, he intervened, and then what?

Then Qin Ruojing kept needling him verbally. He's Qin Ruojing's husband, her legitimate husband, recognized by the law, and he has the marriage certificate to prove it!

At that time, Qin Ruojing really put him in an awkward position, but Chu Ge could still endure it because he knew well that Qin Ruojing's reaction was out of concern for him.

But... what's with Qin Ruojing's reaction now? Are they still a couple? Is this how it should be?

Chu Ge has never been a good-tempered person, but he still managed to endure, even put on a smile, and he's impressed with himself!

At the core of it, everything stems from the feelings between Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing. From the moment they met until now, their journey, while not earth-shattering or intense, has at least been a worthwhile experience, even each argument is memorable.

Reflecting deeply, Chu Ge feels his feelings for Qin Ruojing are sincere enough, and he wants a good life with her. If they weren't married now, he might have reacted very differently.

"I..." Qin Ruojing avoided Chu Ge's eyes, not daring to make direct eye contact, "I haven't finished what I was saying earlier, you... you can't evade the issue."

Hearing Qin Ruojing bring it up again was incredibly vexing for Chu Ge. Just now, they were all lovey-dovey, and to be abruptly stopped at such a crucial moment felt like a cold bucket of water over his head—just as disappointing and frustrating. His anger boiled up again.

Glaring at Qin Ruojing's eyes, which were full of panic but feigning calm, Chu Ge was silent for a few seconds, striving to suppress the rising anger. Suddenly, he smiled faintly, got out of bed, took out a cigarette from his bag, lit it with a click, and sitting on the sofa, he nodded at Qin Ruojing.

"Alright, I'm not avoiding it. Say what you want, I'm listening."

Qin Ruojing could certainly sense Chu Ge's disappointment. Putting herself in his place, she believed that if she were a man, she also wouldn't be without resentment. It was commendable enough that Chu Ge didn't lose his temper with her right now. She, of course, didn't want things to be like this either, but she indeed had a hard truth to face.

Qin Ruojing was once again tangled up inside, unsure whether she should tell Chu Ge the truth.

To tell... or not to tell...

The two voices in her mind constantly argued, each with compelling reasons, enough to convince her. Qin Ruojing really didn't know what to do; this inner conflict felt like deep torment.

With a silent sigh, Qin Ruojing pursed her lips, nervously asking, "Are you... angry?"

Chu Ge thought to himself, aren't you stating the obvious? You're almost driving me crazy! Who in this situation wouldn't be upset? If you were a man, you'd get it, or rather, if you just put yourself in my shoes, you'd understand how I feel by now!

But anger aside, he really didn't want to make this night even worse, smiling naturally, "No, just felt like having a smoke. If it bothers you, I'll put it out?"

Qin Ruojing quickly shook her head, thinking her question was pointless. On the bed, she wouldn't let Chu Ge touch her, and if she didn't let him smoke off the bed, it would be crossing the line.

Qin Ruojing sighed quietly, made a firm decision that after figuring out how to handle this issue, she must make it up to Chu Ge.

When it comes to matters between a man and woman, as his wife, she'll cooperate with whatever he wants. But as for the timing of those things, that will have to wait.

As for today... she just hoped when she asked Tong Yaqi to come over, Tong Yaqi could use her gentleness to soothe the resentment in Chu Ge's heart.
