After finishing the meal, those bastards next door didn't come to bother Chu Ge again.

Although it was unclear whether they were truly submissive or something else, Chu Ge naturally wouldn't stay here forever. When Luo Suyun suggested leaving, he left the restaurant with the mother and daughter.

Ah, why are there so many scumbags these days? Luo Suyun and Shu Lulu really have it tough.

A woman's beauty is supposed to be something to be proud of, but unfortunately, this world is full of all kinds of scum, and beauty sometimes becomes a hassle.

Chu Ge let out a silent sigh.

On the way to send the mother and daughter home, Chu Ge noticed in the rearview mirror several times that Luo Suyun seemed to want to say something but held back. However, he didn't press on it, pretending everything was fine while chatting with Shu Lulu in the front passenger seat.

When they arrived under Luo Suyun's building, Chu Ge stopped the car and stretched, "Sister Luo, Lulu, I'm a bit tired, so I won't walk you upstairs."

Seeing Chu Ge about to leave, Shu Lulu immediately tried to persuade him, "Uncle, we're right downstairs, why don't you come up for a bit? You've never been to our house."

When Shu Lulu said this, Chu Ge couldn't help but sweat a little, because he certainly had been there, and...

"I better not go up, it's getting late. You should rest."

"Uncle, come on up, just come sit for a while, is a sip of water too much to ask?"

Just as Chu Ge was about to continue declining, the previously silent Luo Suyun also said, "Mr. Chu, it's not that late now, and you had quite a bit to drink earlier. Come up, have some fruit and rest for a while before you leave."

If it were just Shu Lulu asking him to stay, that would be one thing, but since Luo Suyun also asked, and clearly seemed to have something to discuss with him, Chu Ge hesitated for a moment. After all, there was nothing much waiting for him at home. Spending time with a pair of beauties, big and small, would certainly be more interesting than being alone, so he smiled and nodded.

"Then I'll be intruding."

Just as well, throughout the drive it seemed like Luo Suyun had something to say, so he might as well stick around a bit to hear what she wanted to tell him.

After going upstairs with the mother and daughter, as soon as Chu Ge entered the house, Shu Lulu brought him slippers and went to the fridge to get some fruit, humming as she went to the kitchen to wash them.

Returning to a familiar place, everything in sight was still recognizable, like the clothes of Luo Suyun and Shu Lulu hanging on the folding drying rack, or the plate of cucumbers on the dining table that might have been leftovers from their lunch.

Looking around, Chu Ge awkwardly scratched his head.

Noticing the change in expression on Chu Ge's face, Luo Suyun was even more troubled.

If her daughter found out about what happened between her and Chu Ge that night, how would she react?

Ah, this is truly absurd; how could such a coincidence occur in this world?

While troubled in her heart, Luo Suyun felt more relieved, knowing it was fortunate that they encountered Chu Ge that day; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Thinking this, Luo Suyun guided Chu Ge to the sofa and then sat beside him.

"Mr. Chu, I just wanted to treat you to a nice meal today, but I didn't expect such trouble, causing inconvenience to you. I'm really sorry. Do you think that guy Youcheng might cause you any trouble?"

Chu Ge smiled and shook his head, "Sister Luo, you're being too formal. I may not be very capable, but I don't consider that guy worthy of concern. You really don't need to worry about it too much, and please just call me by my name. It feels a bit awkward when you call me Mr. Chu."

At this moment, Shu Lulu also finished washing the fruit and came over with a smile, placing the fruit plate on the coffee table in front of the sofa, then happily sat on the other side of Chu Ge.

"Mom, you don't know how awesome uncle is, he's got such amazing muscles all over. You saw him easily pick up those two bastards with one hand, didn't you?"

Hearing Shu Lulu say this, Chu Ge was exasperated, wondering why the little girl was bringing this up for no reason.

Luo Suyun was taken aback. She had seen every part of Chu Ge, and she knew this all too well. But how did her daughter know?

Sensing her mother's gaze change, Shu Lulu also realized her words might cause misunderstanding and quickly explained, "I saw uncle cooking before. That day was really hot, and he was shirtless while cooking, so I saw it."

Luo Suyun looked at her daughter half-believingly and then changed the topic, shaking her head, "You just think things are too simple. Just because they couldn't beat Chu Ge, doesn't mean they won't use some other sneaky tricks."

Shu Lulu nonchalantly giggled and said, "Mom, don't worry. Uncle is super capable, no matter what sneaky tricks they use, they're no match for uncle. They were just drunk and acting up earlier and stopped after uncle dealt with them, didn't they? They didn't even bring anyone else over, did they?"

Seeing her daughter so carefree, Luo Suyun said with mild exasperation, "Just because they didn't retaliate just now, doesn't mean they won't in the future. What if they come knocking on our door causing trouble later?"

After speaking, Luo Suyun felt a bit regretful. Although she didn't mean anything else, her words might have sounded like she was blaming Chu Ge?

Unexpectedly, Luo Suyun didn't know how to explain it properly. It seemed like the more she said, the more complicated it would become, and her expression became rather awkward.

Shu Lulu was taken aback, her little face showing a trace of panic. She blinked and said instinctively, "Huh? Yeah... So what should we do?"

Mumbling to herself, Shu Lulu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she held onto Chu Ge's hand, shaking it.

"Uncle, how about... you don't leave tonight, and stay here to protect us? As long as you're here, we won't be afraid of anything."

Hearing Shu Lulu say this, Chu Ge broke into a sweat. This girl Lulu was really bold, saying whatever came to her mind.

However, Chu Ge didn't take it seriously. He thought that even just considering it with his toes, it was simply unrealistic. Not to mention, Luo Suyun would never agree.

Just as he was about to refuse, Shu Lulu looked over at Luo Suyun, "Mom, what do you think? Isn't this a good idea?"

The refusal was caught in his throat. Even though he knew it was impossible, Chu Ge really wanted to hear what Luo Suyun would say.

"Lulu, don't mess around. Chu Ge has his own things to do. Do you think he can just do nothing and stay with us all the time?"

As expected, Luo Suyun straightforwardly rejected Shu Lulu's suggestion.

"Sister Luo, Lulu, how about this? If anything happens, just call me anytime. I'll be heading back now."

As he spoke, Chu Ge smiled at Luo Suyun and stood up from the sofa.

However, before he could fully stand up, Luo Suyun grabbed his hand, seeming a bit hesitant, and said, "Chu Ge, stay a little longer."

Chu Ge was puzzled, not knowing what Luo Suyun meant.

Logically speaking, he didn't seem to have a reason to stay here any longer, right?

Yet, Luo Suyun's words didn't sound like mere courtesy, and when he stood up, her reaching out seemed like an instinctive reaction.

Full of confusion, Chu Ge tentatively asked, "Sister Luo, it's getting late. Should I not disturb you any longer?"

Noticing her daughter looking at the hand she had on Chu Ge, Luo Suyun panicked internally but casually let go, speaking with an embarrassed smile.

"Chu Ge, honestly, I've thought about it carefully, and there's some truth in what Lulu says. Actually, I'm a bit scared too. Let's see if this works: you can just stay here tonight. We have a spare bedroom, and everything is clean and ready. Would it be too much trouble for you to stay here overnight?"

Seeing the rare conflicted expression on this seemingly carefree woman's face and hearing her actually suggesting him to stay, Chu Ge was a bit surprised. He thought to himself that she did have a point and nearly agreed on the spot.

However, after a brief consideration, he felt it really wasn't appropriate.

If he actually stayed here, there wouldn't be much impact on him as a man, but for Luo Suyun and Shu Lulu, if others found out, the implications could be very negative. Yet, he felt a bit guilty completely refusing outright.

"This... might not be quite appropriate?" Chu Ge hesitated.

Finally given some hope, Shu Lulu hurriedly pleaded, "Uncle, there's nothing inappropriate about it. Just stay for one night. You heard how vicious Boss Zhou and Boss Li were with their words. Can't you just boost our courage a little? I'm begging you."

"Chu Ge, I know you're worried people will gossip about us, but compared to that, as a mother, I'm more concerned about my daughter's safety. How about..."

Luo Suyun didn't continue, but like her daughter, her eyes were full of pleading.

With the two of them looking at him like that, Chu Ge felt like refusing would make him seem like a truly heinous person. He sighed momentarily before hesitantly nodding.

"Well... okay then, I'll stay tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Uncle, you're the best!"

Seeing Chu Ge finally agree, Shu Lulu's face lit up with a joyful smile, while Luo Suyun looked visibly relieved and, in a formal tone, said "Thank you."

"Uncle, let me make your bed for you!"

Immediately, as if afraid Chu Ge might suddenly change his mind, Shu Lulu giggled and dashed into the bedroom. Hugging a pillow and a quilt, she went into another bedroom and busied herself on the bed she used to sleep on.

Watching her daughter go into the bedroom, making the bed and placing the pillow for Chu Ge, Luo Suyun turned to look at him with a gentle smile, asking, "Do you want to take a shower first?"
