Qin Ruojing didn't say anything else, she gazed at Chu Ge and smiled gently, which was the best encouragement for him.

Chu Ge also smiled and softly asked a question, "Honey, actually your sister called me today, can you guess what she said to me?"

"Hmm... what did she say?"

"She told me to be gentle."

"..."

The night, left only endless tenderness, with the two of them physically and emotionally intertwined.

The next morning, when Chu Ge woke up, Qin Ruojing was still asleep, her delicate sleeping face still flushed light pink, full of a young woman's happiness and tenderness.

After last night's soulful and bodily union, Chu Ge found Qin Ruojing even more beautiful. He just watched her quietly, a subtle smile unconsciously curling his lips, as if he could never get enough of looking at her.

Chu Ge lay in bed watching for a while, then quietly got up and went to the kitchen after washing up, humming the song "Lifetime Together" as he started to make breakfast.

"No matter how distant spring is, my heart is bright as long as I can hold your long-lost hands. I'd willingly follow for life, just to fulfill a dream. Don't say the years are long, the longer the years, the more they entwine. I'd rather give up my solitude, slowly savor happiness, true feelings melt true emotions. Life must always be well-trodden, don't lament the hardships and troubles of life..."

The same song, sung today, felt completely different from yesterday.

After preparing breakfast, Chu Ge returned to the bedroom, seated quietly on a chair watching Qin Ruojing, wanting this woman, who had given him her mind and body, to see his smile the moment she opened her eyes.

Though Chu Ge was very gentle last night, Qin Ruojing, having just experienced the pain of first intimacy, slept until past eight before waking up.

Like any newlywed couple, Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing's eyes were filled with tenderness and affection for each other. Despite Qin Ruojing insisting she was fine, Chu Ge still insisted on assisting her to the bathroom, helping her wash her face and brush her teeth just as she had tended to him before.

Then, Chu Ge reheated the breakfast he had carefully prepared and fed Qin Ruojing bite by bite, savoring this warmth that words could hardly describe.

"Originally, I really wanted to take our wedding photos today, but dear, it seems we'll have to wait another day or two."

"Annoying, it's all your fault..."

"Hahaha."

While they were chatting and laughing, in the most iconic building of Jiangyun City, in an extremely luxurious office on the top floor of the Marriott Building, there were also two people engaging in cheerful conversation.

One of them was wearing a fitted shirt and trousers, standing at a height of about 1.85 meters, with a sturdy build and handsome features, exuding a steady and capable aura. He was seated on a leather chair behind a large office desk.

This person was Chen Zhihao, the chairman of Marriott Group, a representative of the National People's Congress, and one of the province's top ten outstanding entrepreneurs.

The other person stood behind him, appearing to be around sixty years old, not very tall, dressed in a plainly styled Tang suit. His slightly hunched back made him appear even shorter, with an ordinary looking old face, deeply lined with wrinkles, and dry lips, resembling an ordinary little old man.

However, since he could appear here, in the office of the chairman of Marriott Group, even though he seemed unremarkable, his identity was definitely not simple.

If someone heard what he was saying to Chen Zhihao at this moment, they would be shocked and even unable to believe their ears.

Even though almost everyone in this building knew that his status was high, being Chen Zhihao's driver and housekeeper, from young people in their twenties to middle-aged individuals in their forties, everyone respectfully called him "Uncle Liang." But aside from a handful of people, others couldn't fathom even in their dreams that he would be that extraordinary.

"Xiao Chen, up until now, our company's performance this year is pretty good. You're really quite capable, you know?"

This tone evidently positioned him as an elder in Chen Zhihao's presence, as if this huge Marriott Group belonged to him. In his dry right hand, he was holding Marriott Group's performance report.

"Uncle Liang, you're too kind. My accomplishments are nothing much."

While Chen Zhihao modestly smiled, internally he was secretly cursing, thinking whether this old man was planning to ask for more money again.

Despite his internal grumbling, Chen Zhihao had to change the subject, "By the way, Uncle Liang, Liang Chen should be coming back soon, right? Has he contacted you yet?"

"That kid..."

Hearing Chen Zhihao mention his only grandson, Mr. Liang put the performance report he couldn't understand at all on the table, a smile creeping onto his face, "That boy has a wild heart. It's a rare chance for him to go out and play, it would be strange if he came back so soon."

"Mr. Liang, aren't you worried about Liang Chen at all? Even though he's very capable, he's still a kid. If I remember correctly, he's only sixteen this year, right?"

"There's nothing to worry about." Mr. Liang chuckled, pinching his chin, "I actually wish he'd suffer a bit outside, get bullied a little, and temper his temper, so he won't always be feeling as complacent as that brat at your house."

Chen Zhihao's mouth twitched slightly. If Mr. Liang called Chen Yujie a brat, wasn't he also insulting him, calling him an old rabbit?

"But you see, that kid Liang Chen probably won't get bullied. It's good enough if he's not the one bullying others." Mr. Liang didn't notice Chen Zhihao's twitching mouth at all, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

Chen Zhihao nodded in agreement, "Mr. Liang is right. My worries are indeed unnecessary. Even if that guy called Chu Ge is skilled, compared to Liang Chen, he's definitely not on the same level."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Liang shook his head this time, "I don't think so."

Chen Zhihao was taken aback, "You don't think so?"

"Yeah, didn't your brat say that this Chu Ge is not simple? Those two special soldiers around your brat were like playthings to him. He's definitely no ordinary person. If Liang Chen fights him, hehe..."

"Old fool, at least you haven't got your head in the clouds, knowing the world isn't just about your Liang family's greatness, huh?"

Chen Zhihao cursed internally again but asked with a puzzled expression, "Mr. Liang, how come you're not worried at all? What if Liang Chen loses to Chu Ge?"

"If he loses, it'll be a good chance for him to learn about the world and its challenges. If that Chu Ge does have such abilities, he should be aware of our existence, and if Liang Chen identifies himself, he wouldn't go too far. So, Liang Chen's safety shouldn't be an issue."

Mr. Liang smiled confidently, suddenly changing his tone, "However, I don't hold much hope for that Chu Ge. Winning against my grandson isn't that easy."

Chen Zhihao smiled along, yet internally cursed again, "Old fool, just earlier you were playing the wise sage, and now you're proudly puffing out your chest for your grandson. You're something else, huh? If Chu Ge beats your grandson, I'd love to see if you can still laugh!"

Cursing aside, Chen Zhihao knew these thoughts could only be vented inwardly. After all, Liang Chen had gone out for his son's sake. If Chu Ge really killed Liang Chen, the Liang family's anger would inevitably turn on him, which would be an unfavorable situation.

Besides, Liang Chen was this old fool's own grandson, pampered with all sorts of rare materials from a young age, soaked in herbal baths, with a freakish physical constitution. He started martial arts at three or four years old. Chu Ge trying to beat Liang Chen? Haha, what a joke?

Just then, the phone on Chen Zhihao's desk rang. He took the call casually, only to hear his secretary's anxious and uneasy voice.

"Chairman, a child named Liang Chen wants to see you. He... Hey, hey, wait, you can't go there!"

Amidst a flurry of noise, the door was suddenly flung open, revealing a trembling young female secretary, a sullen-faced Liang Chen, and two security guards who were trying their utmost to drag him away but couldn't budge him.

"Chairman, I'm sorry, I told this child not to disturb you, but I..."

Chen Zhihao was slightly taken aback, feeling a surge of displeasure. Even though his rise couldn't have happened without the Liang family's help, this kid Liang Chen was too out of line!

What did this kid take his place for? Barging into his office within the company like this? Wasn't this way too disrespectful?

Displeasure aside, Chen Zhihao didn't show it on his face. He immediately waved off the secretary and the security guards, "It's not your concern anymore. All of you, leave, and make sure no one else enters."

The two security guards and the secretary reluctantly left the door, and Liang Chen silently closed the door.

"Brat, who told you to barge in like this? Don't you know what it means to consider your influence?" Although Chen Zhihao wanted to say this, what greeted Liang Chen was a berating from Mr. Liang beside him.

Liang Chen remained silent, walking step by step to Mr. Liang's side.

Mr. Liang wanted to scold him a few more times but suddenly noticed his strange walking posture and the unnatural movement of his right arm, then saw that his entire right hand was swollen!

"Grandpa, I..."

Standing opposite Mr. Liang, Liang Chen's eyes gradually reddened. He barely said a few words before tears started falling, and he threw himself onto Mr. Liang, crying his heart out.

Mr. Liang was taken aback and then panicked. It was the first time he saw his grandson so aggrieved, and any anger he felt inside instantly dissipated as he gently patted Liang Chen's back.

After all, the bond between generations runs deep, and just seeing Liang Chen cry like this, Mr. Liang felt an ache in his heart.
