Chu Ge's gaze was open and honest, filled with encouragement and care.

Under such a gaze, Lili felt much more relaxed both physically and mentally. From the bottom of her heart, she developed complete trust in Chu Ge. She pursed her lips and quickly made a decision, nodding her head.

Initially, she had already prepared for the worst. Since she encountered a benefactor now, she didn't have to sell her body. She felt she should be content. After all, isn't it just calling out a few times? Call then call.

"Brother Chu, then... then I'll give it a try."

"Okay, start with a soft voice. If something doesn't seem right, I can tell you."

Lili tried calling softly a couple of times.

Chu Ge let out a chuckle. The sound she made was exactly like a baby babbling.

Seeing Chu Ge laugh, Lili said embarrassedly, "Brother Chu, I... I'm sorry..."

Chu Ge waved his hand, "Lili, you don't need to apologize. It's normal if you can't do it right away. Let me first explain the key points to you."

Ye Li smiled apologetically, just like a student who tried hard to learn but couldn't grasp a problem, feeling very embarrassed in front of a patient teacher.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Brother Chu."

"First, take a deep breath and hold it, then imagine you're enduring great pain. Start by making a sound through your nose, then open your mouth to shout forcefully in one breath. If you can make some undulating vibratos, that's ideal, but if not, it's okay. That's roughly it. I'll demonstrate for you first."

Hearing Chu Ge's instructions, Lili promptly sat upright as if she were a student paying serious attention to a lecture. She even took a ballpoint pen and a small notebook out of her pocket to jot down what Chu Ge had just said.

Seeing Lili's serious demeanor, Chu Ge couldn't help but shake his head, amused, and thought even more that this girl shouldn't be in a place like this.

After Lili finished taking notes, Chu Ge demonstrated for her.

"So, do you understand a bit now? Want to give it another try?"

Lili nodded and started to try out the series of steps Chu Ge just taught her.

As she softly called out, Lili looked at Chu Ge with a learning gaze, as if she were conducting a scientific experiment, her seriousness was undeniable.

"Brother Chu, how does it sound this time?"

"Make your nasal tone a bit stronger, your throat sound a bit more wailing, the vibrato clearer, and the ending note longer."

Lili nodded and called out several more times. Although it was still rough, there was finally a hint of what was needed. When Chu Ge felt it was about right, she started calling out loudly.

Watching Ye Li's earnest demeanor and listening to the sounds she worked hard to produce, Chu Ge's lips involuntarily curled into a self-deprecating smile.

After calling out for more than ten minutes, Lili's throat was getting hoarse. Chu Ge had her stop, then instructed her to make some wrinkles in her clothes and skirt, and tear off two buttons from her shirt to make it look as if it had been roughly torn.

After Lili did as instructed, she instantly looked more pitiful, like a flower that had just been battered by the storm, making Chu Ge feel even more pitiful for her. Passing off as genuine shouldn't be too much of a problem now.

Following Chu Ge's guidance, Lili shouted energetically, though still a bit embarrassed inside, yet mostly filled with gratitude towards this man. She truly didn't know how to repay him.

Thinking of this, Lili suddenly realized that she knew nothing about this "Mr. Chu" until now. If they parted just like this, no matter how much she wanted to repay him, it would be hard to find him among the sea of people.

"Brother Chu, could you leave me your name and phone number?" she asked, handing the paper and pen to Chu Ge with great anticipation.

Chu Ge smiled, took the paper and pen Lili handed over, and wrote down his name and phone number.

After all, he helped this girl a lot today, and letting her know his name wasn't a problem.

Once Chu Ge's name and number were on the paper, Lili took it back with a slight hesitation, then wrote an IOU for fifty thousand yuan on another piece of paper, with her real name and phone number on it.

"Brother Chu, great kindness needs no thanks, but aside from saying thank you, I truly don't know what else to say. Rest assured, I'll definitely repay this fifty thousand yuan, it's just... I'm not sure when it will be."

After tearing out this IOU from the notebook, Lili solemnly handed it to Chu Ge, genuinely speaking.

Chu Ge smiled again, glancing at the IOU, at the delicate handwriting, the delicate name, Ye Li.

Of course, regarding this IOU, what Chu Ge felt most was amusement. Helping this girl was no trouble at all, just a small gesture. She didn't need to be so earnest, especially since the fifty thousand yuan wasn't even coming out of his own pocket.

"Forget about repaying, there's no need."

As Chu Ge spoke, he was about to tear up the IOU when Ye Li quickly grabbed his hand, "No, I must repay it."

"Then let's talk about it whenever we have the chance. You don't have to worry too much, I don't urgently need the money for anything. Wait for me here, I'll go see what they're up to."

Chu Ge said as he left the sofa, opened the door, and walked out.

Watching Chu Ge's back, Ye Li felt increasingly warm inside. She really hadn't expected Chu Ge to take such good care of her, even paying attention to details like sparing her from seeing anything embarrassing.

"Mr. Chu, how's that girl? Is she to your taste?"

Seeing Chu Ge come out, Liu Weijiang, half-lying on the sofa, immediately put down his wine glass, showing a flattering smile.

Chu Ge laughed, "Quite good. Just for this girl, it was worth coming here today."

"Haha, that's great, that's great..."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Liu Weijiang was overjoyed. He felt that getting beaten up in Long Kun's room earlier was worth it.

After giving an order and seeing that everything outside seemed fine, Chu Ge returned to the suite.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you to get the money, then see you off from a place you never should have belonged to."

Ye Li nodded and stood up from the sofa, but after taking just a couple of steps, Chu Ge shook his head with a smile.

"Lili, if you just walk out like this, the play we just put on would be all for nothing."

Even though he knew her real name, Chu Ge was used to calling her Lili, so he continued with it.

Ye Li was stunned, "Huh?"

"According to the story, you were just devastated by me. So, you should walk slowly, with a bit of discomfort, pretending to still be in pain."

Ye Li nodded, sighed softly "Hmm," and, as Chu Ge instructed, walked with her head down to his side and took his hand.

In a place Ye Li never wanted to return to, staying by Chu Ge's side was the only way she could find a sense of security.

Leading Ye Li out of the suite, Chu Ge first chatted with Liu Weijiang for a bit, then sat on the sofa to call He Junming, casually mentioning that he was with Liu Weijiang and having a good time.

Hearing Chu Ge mention this, Liu Weijiang felt indescribably delighted. He had been thinking about bringing this up with Chu Ge, but he didn't expect Chu Ge to do it without being asked.

When Chu Ge handed the phone to Liu Weijiang, telling him that He Junming wanted to talk, Liu Weijiang's hand trembled with excitement, and when he heard He Junming say, "Come to me if you need anything," he almost fainted with joy.

Even after the beeping sound in the receiver, the silly grin on Liu Weijiang's face didn't fade. He was so excited that he wanted to shout.

After waiting so long, he finally made a connection with "Crown Prince" He Junming. How could he not be overjoyed?

Of course, he was well aware that the reason He Junming was willing to acknowledge him was entirely because he had placed his bet on Chu Ge. Without Chu Ge, he might never have had such an opportunity in this lifetime.

"It's getting late, shall we head back?"

Chu Ge's voice brought Liu Weijiang back to reality.

Filled with excitement, Liu Weijiang wanted to invite Chu Ge out for more fun, but seeing Chu Ge holding Ye Li's hand, apparently ready to leave with her, he just smiled awkwardly, nodded, and moved to the door like a doorman, helping open the golden door for Chu Ge.

When Chu Ge led Ye Li and Liu Weijiang out of the room, Shen Houfu, who had been anxiously pacing in another room, hurried out to greet them.

"Mr. Chu, Mr. Jiang, you two are..."

Chu Ge smiled, "Tired, heading back to rest. Boss Shen, this girl is great; she served me well. I want to take her with me. Is there any issue with that?"

Shen Houfu quickly replied, "It's this girl's good fortune to be appreciated by Mr. Chu; of course, there's no issue."

As he spoke, Shen Houfu took out five wads of fresh cash from his bag and handed them to Ye Li. After all, he had promised this in front of Chu Ge, and he dared not be vague about it.

As Ye Li accepted the fifty thousand yuan, her nose tingled again, and Chu Ge's large hand on hers seemed even warmer.

"Boss Shen, I think you might have misunderstood. What I mean is, I want to take this girl with me, not just tonight, but from now on, she won't be part of your Roman Holiday anymore. Do you have any objections?"

Though Chu Ge's request was unconventional, in Shen Houfu's eyes, Chu Ge was like a deity. He didn't dare to object and quickly shook his head, "No objections, of course not."

Chu Ge smiled again, "Good, I hope Boss Shen is a man of his word."

After speaking with Shen Houfu, Chu Ge gently said to Ye Li, "Go on, change your clothes, pack up your things, and come with me. From now on, you are my woman."
