Gu Deyuan deliberately made a very regretful expression, but her eyes revealed unabashed pride.

Faced with such an obvious provocation from Gu Deyuan, Qin Ruojing's suppressed anger suddenly surged, but before she could say anything, Chu Ge had already pushed open the fitting room door and walked out under the gaze of Gu Deyuan and Sui Liang.

"I think, maybe their hearts are blinded by lard?"

Chu Ge walked out of the fitting room, glancing at the somewhat stunned Gu Deyuan and Sui Liang, and joked, then sniffed his nose, showing a strange expression.

"Hey? Where's that pig stench coming from? Oh dear, why is it so smelly?"

Gu Deyuan and Sui Liang snapped back to reality, looking at Chu Ge with gritted teeth, especially when Gu Deyuan heard this sentence, her already unpleasant face turned even uglier.

The undertone of Chu Ge's words clearly said she was the pig!

Raising her short, chubby finger with a swipe, Gu Deyuan shrieked angrily, "So it's you! You, you actually dare to call me a pig?"

Chu Ge laughed, "I've heard of finding money, finding objects, but it's really new today, meeting someone who's looking to be insulted. Did I say you're the one? With your looks, do you really think you're as cute as a pig?"

Hearing Chu Ge's words, Gu Deyuan couldn't help but choke on her anger, with a face full of shame and rage, yet she really didn't know how to refute it. To say Chu Ge insulted her would be to admit she was the pig, but to say he didn't, she couldn't swallow the insult.

"You... you..."

Raising her hand, pointing at Chu Ge twice, Gu Deyuan angrily looked towards Qin Ruojing, "Chairman Qin, I'm kindly reminding you, this guy is not a good person. Just yesterday, I saw him flirting with Tong Yaqi, you..."

Being pestered by Gu Deyuan repeatedly, Qin Ruojing really lost her patience, and without waiting for Gu Deyuan to finish, she calmly interrupted, "President Gu, he's my guy, I haven't said anything, are you minding too much?"

Gu Deyuan's eye corners twitched, considering Qin Ruojing's status, she didn't tear up completely, dragging Sui Liang, she turned angrily and left.

In Gu Deyuan's mind, Qin Ruojing can flaunt now, but by the time the cocktail party comes in the evening, there will be times when Qin Ruojing feels aggrieved! At that time, she will thoroughly enjoy watching Qin Ruojing's embarrassment.

As Gu Deyuan and Sui Liang's backs disappeared from the doorway, Qin Ruojing slightly frowned and asked, "Chu Ge, have you met Gu Deyuan before?"

Chu Ge grunted in response, briefly explaining what happened at the restaurant last night.

Qin Ruojing rubbed her forehead, "You, you... alright, the past is the past, let's continue picking out clothes."

Although the episode with Gu Deyuan left Qin Ruojing feeling quite unhappy, it did not affect her patience in selecting clothes for Chu Ge. She spent nearly two hours to outfit Chu Ge in a very upscale ensemble.

After all, the evening cocktail party was extremely important, it was simply the perfect opportunity for Tianjiao Film and Television to overcome its current predicament.

Although Qin Ruojing didn't feel confident at all, she had to do her utmost, and taking Chu Ge along would undoubtedly reduce a lot of her troubles.

Once Chu Ge was completely styled by Qin Ruojing, with everything changed from head to toe except his underwear, Qin Ruojing finally felt relieved, showing a satisfied expression.

Not only did Qin Ruojing feel relieved, Chu Ge also finally breathed a sigh of relief, having been quite exhausted over nearly two hours, with all the changing in and out, he'd definitely worked up a sweat.

After settling the clothes, Qin Ruojing took Chu Ge to a very famous hair studio in the city, finding the best stylist there to do their hair.

After finishing with the hairstyles, Qin Ruojing immediately took Chu Ge back home, swiftly opened the wardrobe, and contemplated what she should wear that evening.

Sitting in Qin Ruojing's living room, Chu Ge took a sip of water, touched his grumbling stomach, and opened the fridge, just ready to figure out lunch when he heard Qin Ruojing's call.

"Chu Ge, come here, help me figure out, see which outfit of mine is the most suitable."

Entering Qin Ruojing's bedroom, Chu Ge leaned on the door frame, "Chairman, shouldn't we solve the lunch issue first before worrying about what you wear?"

Qin Ruojing was taken aback, "Lunch? It's already noon? How did time pass so fast?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, "What did you think? Should I go cook now?"

Scanning through the full wardrobe of clothes, Qin Ruojing said without turning her head, "Cook what? The cocktail party starts at five thirty, no time to waste on eating!"

Chu Ge was even more speechless, "Are you kidding me? No matter how important the party is, you can't skip meals! What if you faint from hunger, or go weak-kneed and fall, wouldn't that be more embarrassing?"

Qin Ruojing was startled again, nodding in agreement, "Hmm, you're right, I think there are a couple of bread rolls on the table, let's each have one."

Chu Ge rubbed his forehead, wondering if Qin Ruojing might be getting a bit obsessed?

Finding two pieces of bread on the dining table in the living room, Chu Ge returned to Qin Ruojing's bedroom and asked curiously, "Chairman, I was too busy changing clothes and fixing my hair earlier and didn't have time to ask you—what kind of party is it that you're taking so seriously?"

"A big shot has come to our Lidu City. This party is being held for her, and everyone from the mayor to the party secretary will attend. If I can gain her favor tonight, Tianjiao Film and Television's problems will be instantly solved. Do you think it's worth the attention?"

Chu Ge took a bite of the bread and walked to Qin Ruojing's side, handing over the other piece of bread. "Wow, that's a lot of face. Who is it?"

Turning her head to glance at Chu Ge, Qin Ruojing took out two evening gowns from the wardrobe and said with amusement, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't know her. Feed me the bread, will you? I don't want to use my hands; I have to choose my outfit."

Qin Ruojing didn't mean to look down on Chu Ge; she simply thought this person was a super big shot even she had to look up to—extremely low-key, with few people knowing her name. So, she figured Chu Ge wouldn't know even if she told him.

Since Qin Ruojing didn't say, Chu Ge didn't ask further. He shrugged indifferently and brought the bread to Qin Ruojing's mouth, feeding her a bite.

Comparing a deep red evening gown to herself, Qin Ruojing asked, "What do you think of this one? Is it too flashy, making me look frivolous?"

Chu Ge glanced twice. "Since it's for that big shot, maybe they'll like that style?"

Qin Ruojing ate another bite of the bread Chu Ge fed her and said with a laugh, "Why does that sound so wicked from you? She's a woman; beauty tricks won't work on her."

"What if she likes that vibe? There are plenty of lesbians around these days."

"Oh, stop talking nonsense with me. Take a look at this blue one—what do you think?"

Chu Ge shook his head speechlessly. "Can't tell just by looking; you'd have to try it on."

"I'll change now. You go out first. I'll call you when I'm ready."

"Can't you wait a moment? Finish your bread first."

"Alright, then hurry up and feed me."

Seeing Qin Ruojing so anxious, Chu Ge felt quite helpless and sympathetic. What does it mean to worry about work? Apparently, this is it.

While eating his bread and feeding Qin Ruojing with another, he couldn't help but find it amusing to see her cheeks bulging. It's just a party, just some person—does it really warrant such seriousness? Besides, this big shot is a woman, so what effect does a pretty dress have?

Chu Ge mused alone, wondering what kind of person the big shot was, and got slightly distracted. As he fed, he accidentally switched hands, bringing his bread to Qin Ruojing's mouth and took a bite of her bread himself.

"Uh..."

When Chu Ge realized this and was about to speak, Qin Ruojing had already taken a bite, so he swallowed the rest of his words.

"What? You were going to say something?"

Qin Ruojing was entirely focused on the evening party and hadn't noticed whose bread Chu Ge was holding. Hearing his voice, she curiously looked at him.

"Nothing, just a burp."

Since Qin Ruojing already took a bite of his bread, it was too late to tell her, so Chu Ge just smiled and shook his head.

"Burp? Why do you seem so weird?"

"Really, just a burp."

Slightly nervous, Chu Ge continued eating, though now every bite felt a bit strange, as if it was... indirectly kissing Qin Ruojing.

After finishing feeding Qin Ruojing the bread, Chu Ge left the bedroom while Qin Ruojing started changing clothes inside. The door wasn't locked, merely closed. If Chu Ge wanted, he could simply push it open and enter.

Listening to the rustling sounds of clothing inside, and thinking again about that indirect kiss earlier, Chu Ge's feelings grew complicated. He hadn't expected Qin Ruojing to trust him this much, leaving the door unlocked.

After waiting for a few minutes in the living room without being called, Chu Ge began to wonder if changing clothes really took that long.

Waiting a few more minutes without hearing Qin Ruojing's voice, Chu Ge grew even more puzzled.

"Chairman? Are you okay?"
