Returning to Chu Ge's hospital room again, Qin Ruojing had already adjusted her mindset and returned to her usual demeanor when interacting with Chu Ge. As she entered the room, she placed a few things she had brought back for Chu Ge on the caregiver's bed and gave him a fierce glare.

Despite being glared at by Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge didn't feel upset. Instead, he felt rather relaxed and chuckled, "Chairman, what did I do to provoke you again? Why are you glaring at me?"

"I've grown up this much, and this is my first time dealing with this kind of thing. Don't you think I should glare at you?"

Pointing to a plastic bag containing Chu Ge's clothes, Qin Ruojing stuffed a pillowcase onto a pillow while speaking in a bad mood.

Chu Ge laughed heartily and said heartlessly, "Well, you can't blame me for that. I didn't ask you to, did I?"

"You! Bastard!" Qin Ruojing glared again, "I've seen jerks, but never one as jerky as you. Do you believe I'll throw all your stuff out right now?"

"I don't believe it." Chu Ge shook his head with confidence. Seeing that Qin Ruojing seemed to really intend to throw the things in her hand, he slowly smiled and said, "Boss Qin is such a good person, how could you do such a thing?"

"Slick talker, why are you so annoying?" Hearing Chu Ge's words, Qin Ruojing finally put the things in her hand down but still didn't give him a good face.

After chatting idly with Qin Ruojing for a while and seeing that she really had no other unusual actions, Chu Ge finally felt at ease.

However, neither Chu Ge nor Qin Ruojing mentioned anything about Tong Yaqi, as if this matter had never happened.

To be honest, the situation made Chu Ge feel a bit strange. He felt it was fine this way, but also hoped that Qin Ruojing would at least mention having met Tong Yaqi just now, leaving him feeling very conflicted.

Chu Ge felt speechless about having such thoughts, thinking that his being conflicted was a bit absurd.

But alas, even though Chu Ge told himself this, he still couldn't change his conflicted mindset.

After making the bed, Qin Ruojing rubbed her legs with a tired expression and then stood up with two sets of toiletries in her hand.

"It's past eleven, let's wash up and sleep."

"Hmm? I say, Chairman, you're not planning to wash me, are you?"

"Nonsense, what else can I do? You are like a cripple now, can I expect you to wash your own face and brush your teeth?" Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at Chu Ge and said in a bad mood.

As soon as the words left her mouth, Qin Ruojing realized that what she said was a bit harsh. The reason Chu Ge ended up like this was to help her, after all, so her expression paused, her eyes showed a bit of apology, and she pursed her lips.

Just as Qin Ruojing was pondering whether to say something to ease the atmosphere and test if Chu Ge was angry or felt wronged, Chu Ge laughed.

"That's great! Having a beauty like you, the Chairman, serve me while I wash my face and brush my teeth is a blessing I must have cultivated in past lives."

Seeing that Chu Ge didn't mind, Qin Ruojing finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still spoke unkindly, "Alright, I've run out of luck for eight lifetimes, hurry up."

Chu Ge leisurely followed Qin Ruojing's lead and smilingly asked, "So, will you wash my feet too?"

"Get lost!"

Glancing at Chu Ge's face with his signature smile, Qin Ruojing truly felt an urge to throw the facial cleanser at him.

This jerk, how come he never has the awareness of being her subordinate? How can his skin be so thick? At critical moments he's quite reliable, but normally he's just so aggravating!

The two of them entered the bathroom. Qin Ruojing quickly washed up first, then filled Chu Ge's cup with warm water at a suitable temperature and handed it to him.

"Rinse your mouth."

Facing Qin Ruojing's stern face, Chu Ge chuckled. To avoid getting the whole cup of water poured on himself, he wisely didn't say anything more, obediently took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth, and spat it into the sink.

While Chu Ge was rinsing, Qin Ruojing had already soaked his toothbrush, applied toothpaste to it, and once he spat out the water, she held the toothbrush up to his mouth.

"Open up!"

Listening to Qin Ruojing's annoyed voice, Chu Ge almost burst out laughing. Even now, he had a hard time fully accepting the fact that Qin Ruojing was actually going to brush his teeth for him. It was just too amusing.

However, to prevent Qin Ruojing from going berserk and doing something unpredictable while brushing his teeth, he could only stifle his laughter and obediently replied, "Mm."

Chu Ge opened his mouth, displaying a neat row of white teeth, surprisingly like an obedient baby, without any unnecessary actions or sounds.

"You smoke every day, how come your teeth haven't turned yellow?"

Somewhat puzzled, Qin Ruojing commented as she inserted the toothbrush into Chu Ge's mouth and began brushing up and down, left and right.

Qin Ruojing brushed meticulously, more carefully than when she brushed her own teeth. Once she finished with the outside, she instructed, "Open wide, the outside is about done, now for the inside."

At this point, Chu Ge couldn't help but want to laugh again. Though his eyes were twitching with restrained amusement, he could only hold back fully and opened his mouth, parting his foam-filled white teeth.

This was the first time Qin Ruojing had ever brushed someone's teeth, and after several attempts, she still couldn't find a comfortable angle, prompting her to say with a stern face, "Open wider, I can't get in!"

This time, Chu Ge couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Qin Ruojing asked in confusion.

"Nothing much, just thinking how lucky I am to have a beautiful board chairwoman like you brushing my teeth. It's a bit embarrassing too."

Qin Ruojing was quite satisfied with Chu Ge's answer. She nodded and said, "At least you have some conscience. Stop laughing, open your mouth wider, a bit wider, yes, that's it, I can get in now."

"Tilt your head back!"

"Lower your head!"

"I can't get in again, I'm stuck!"

"A little to the left, stop, now a little to the right. Are you doing this on purpose?"

With Qin Ruojing constantly giving instructions, Chu Ge kept cooperating. Watching Qin Ruojing issuing commands, Chu Ge sincerely thought she had quite a queenly air, and it was indeed kind of amusing.

It took Qin Ruojing less than three minutes to brush her teeth and wash her face, yet brushing Chu Ge's teeth took a full five minutes before it was nearing completion.

When Chu Ge finished rinsing his mouth, Qin Ruojing inspected him like she was reviewing a task, frowned slightly, and said, "Don't move, the tongue needs brushing as well."

"Uh... maybe we can skip that? What if I throw up on you, that would be really embarrassing."

"Brushing your tongue regularly is beneficial, don't move."

Without giving him a chance to refuse, Qin Ruojing put the toothbrush back in Chu Ge's mouth and started brushing carefully, stroke by stroke.

Watching Qin Ruojing work seriously, Chu Ge was left speechless. Was she really treating brushing his teeth as a task to complete?

At the same time, aside from being speechless, he also felt quite touched. No matter how you looked at it, he was a smoker, so there must be some smoke smell in his mouth. However, Qin Ruojing, being the chairwoman, not only helped him brush his teeth but also didn't skip brushing his tongue.

Feeling Qin Ruojing's seriousness, Chu Ge was actually quite amused now. He figured if he laughed out loud now, Qin Ruojing would definitely go ballistic.

And at that time... would the toothbrush become a weapon?

Hmm... even if the toothbrush didn't become a weapon, if Qin Ruojing got angry and shoved it into his mouth, he would suffer. Especially since his mouth was still full of toothpaste foam.

So, even though Chu Ge wanted to laugh, he held it in. If he didn't behave now, it would be his own fault, and he couldn't let Qin Ruojing's kindness go unappreciated.

After all, she was a dignified chairwoman, and he was merely a subordinate, plus an occasional actor. If he ended up without any compensation, that would be terrible.

After over a minute of additional brushing, Qin Ruojing finally nodded in satisfaction, asked Chu Ge to rinse his mouth again, then carefully cleaned his toothbrush, before placing it back in the cup.

"Time to wash your face."

Sighing quietly in relief, Chu Ge responded, while shuffling and bending slightly, pointing his face toward the sink.

Seeing Chu Ge was ready, Qin Ruojing turned on the faucet, tested the water temperature with her hand, and finding it okay, used the towel she brought to wipe Chu Ge's face.

"Wait, wait."

Qin Ruojing had just wiped his face twice when Chu Ge lifted his head, smiling bitterly and spoke up.

"What's wrong now?"

"Can we switch to cold water? According to Chinese medicine, cold for the face, warm for the teeth, hot for the feet, that's the scientific way."

"You've got a lot of demands, do you really think you're some young master? So hard to please. Okay, I got it."

With a bit of amused grumbling, Qin Ruojing adjusted the faucet to cold water, tested it and decided it was fine, then flicked some water at Chu Ge's forehead with her fingers.

"How's this now?"

"Pretty good, if it were a bit colder, it would be perfect."

"Alright, lower your head."

This time, Chu Ge closed his eyes. The real reason he insisted on washing his face with cold water was that he was feeling a bit warm, and cold water was more comfortable.

After wiping Chu Ge's face with a towel, Qin Ruojing, under Chu Ge's puzzled gaze, picked up the showerhead hanging on the wall.

"Chairwoman, what are you doing?"

Giving Chu Ge a sharp look, Qin Ruojing irritably said, "Weren't you just clamoring to wash your feet?"

This time, Chu Ge was genuinely startled.

"Chairwoman, you're... really going to wash them for me?"
