"Mistress?" Upon hearing these two words, Mu Lingshan immediately cried out, and her voice was extremely loud, clearly indicating her displeasure.

Mu Lingshan has always been deeply disgusted by men who have mistresses. Although such people have never provoked her, she just feels that these men are scum. Now, hearing Chu Ge make such an arrangement, it's a wonder if her mood could be pleasant.

"Why are you so agitated? Is it really worth making a fuss about?" Chu Ge glanced at Mu Lingshan and said, somewhat speechlessly.

"Why arrange such an identity? Can't you be a wealthy businessman and I be your secretary? You... don't plan to take advantage of me, do you?" Mu Lingshan's eyes became a bit wary, and she instinctively shrank back a little.

"Come on, can't you use your brain? Did you forget about last night? You appeared in front of that Yan Jie. She just saw you yesterday, do you think she, and those girls in the room at the time, could forget your face so quickly? If I were a wealthy businessman and you were my secretary, would you still need to be out there selling?"

Mu Lingshan's face turned bright red; this was indeed a problem, but she still said defiantly, "So just being your mistress can deceive them?"

Chu Ge nodded, "Of course. After you left there, you could completely have gone to a bar to work, and then you met me, this playboy, and we hooked up. I thought you were good, so I kept you by my side. Doesn't that make sense? Is there any problem with that?"

"But... but wasn't I supposed to be... on my period yesterday?"

"Didn't you say they didn't make you undress at all? How would they know if you were or weren't?"

"Uh..."

Despite feeling ashamed and angry at Chu Ge's words, once again, Mu Lingshan was left speechless.

"Alright, alright, a mistress is a mistress, I'll accept it. But... are you sure that just the two of us can bust the gambling operation? How confident are you?"

Chu Ge let out a nasal sound, full of confidence, "Ninety percent."

Mu Lingshan's eyes widened even more, unaware that for Chu Ge, this was already a modest statement.

Seeing Mu Lingshan in a daze, Chu Ge stretched lazily, "Alright, if you have no objections, while we still have time, let's rehearse a bit."

"Rehearse? Rehearse what?"

Chu Ge looked at Mu Lingshan speechlessly, saying, "Nonsense, what do you think we should rehearse for? Since I'm a lecherous playboy and you're the kind of girl that caught my eye, we have to at least look the part together, right?"

Actually, as soon as she said it, Mu Lingshan immediately realized what Chu Ge meant, but she still found it hard to accept. She was a pure young girl, and just the thought of playing a mistress made her feel ashamed.

"Babe, come over, sit next to the lord."

At this moment, Chu Ge spoke boldly, with a wicked smile on his face, crossed his legs, and patted the place next to him on the sofa with a "pap pap," then beckoned Mu Lingshan over flirtatiously with his finger.

Mu Lingshan's expression changed several times. Could it be that this guy Chu Ge was playing his true self? How could he smile so sleazily?

Though feeling conflicted, Mu Lingshan thought about how important this was to take down that cancer, and courage welled up inside her, diluting her hesitation somewhat.

Thinking that she even pretended to be a prostitute yesterday, and having done something so speechless, this wasn't much worse. Mu Lingshan finally gritted her teeth, putting on a martyr-like expression, tightened her body, and got up from the sofa opposite Chu Ge, sitting next to him.

Mu Lingshan's reaction surprised Chu Ge a bit; he hadn't expected her to sit over so readily without any fuss.

Just a few seconds passed before Chu Ge said blandly, "Get up."

Hearing Chu Ge say those three words, Mu Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly left Chu Ge's side, and eagerly asked, "Did I pass the test?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, "Pass, my foot. With your current state, we can forget about ever sneaking into the casino in this lifetime."

"What? What did I do wrong? You asked me to sit next to you, and I did sit next to you!" Mu Lingshan said anxiously.

Chu Ge pointed to the dressing mirror in the room, "Go bring the mirror over, place it in front of us, and sit back here again; take a look yourself."

Following his instructions, Mu Lingshan did as she was told and sat next to Chu Ge again. Though still awkward, at least the mental pressure was a bit less than the first time she sat over.

"See? Your butt isn't even firmly planted. What kind of skill are you practicing here?"

"And your arms are tense, sure, but why are your hands clenched into fists? What's the deal with that?"

"Let's talk about your expression. Is this the expression a mistress should have? It's full of misery and resentment like you're a female convict about to be executed. Sigh..."

Listening to Chu Ge's merciless criticism, although Mu Lingshan felt wronged and frustrated in her heart, with a bit of annoyance, she knew that Chu Ge was not wrong.

This was the second time she sat next to Chu Ge, both times appearing so terrible, which naturally indicated how bad the first time must have been.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Lingshan adjusted her mood, tried to relax her body as much as possible, and sat down again on the sofa beside Chu Ge, clasping her fingers on her lap, with a smile on her face that could barely be called a smile.

Chu Ge slapped his forehead with a "snap," rubbed his temple with his thumb, still showing an expression full of helplessness, but in his heart, he felt not the least bit impatient, instead finding it quite entertaining.

After all, the opportunity to teach a female officer like this was indeed rare. The reason he deliberately acted this way was to provoke Mu Lingshan's stubbornness, so she could quickly get into the role.

For someone like her, earnest teaching was far less effective than a disdainful glance; this could be considered teaching according to one's aptitude.

This time, sure enough, without Chu Ge needing to say anything, Mu Lingshan looked at the mirror and began to self-inspect earnestly.

She didn't want to be looked down upon by Chu Ge. She felt already embarrassed enough, so she might as well open up a bit more to quickly gain Chu Ge's approval.

Mu Lingshan readjusted her emotions and movements, then seriously asked, "This time, is it okay?"

Chu Ge observed for a moment and said, "It's somewhat interesting now."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Mu Lingshan's eyes brightened, but she soon heard Chu Ge continue, "However, even if your movements are barely passable, your expression is far too unnatural. What we need is allure, something very enchanting, that kind capable of captivating people."

Mu Lingshan tried a few more times, making Chu Ge shake his head repeatedly.

"I say, lady, if you can't learn to be alluring right away, haven't you at least acted cute with a boyfriend? Can you show that kind of cute expression? I really admire you."

"I've never even had a boyfriend, who do I act cute for?" Being denied time and again by Chu Ge, Mu Lingshan finally couldn't help but retort angrily.

This made Chu Ge slightly stunned, "You mean you've never done similar intimate acts with another man?"

Mu Lingshan bit her lip and rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, "Isn't that obvious?"

"I see, no wonder you're this awkward, sigh..."

Chu Ge sighed verbally, but inside he was quite pleased. All this fuss, and he turned out to be the first man Mu Lingshan did such intimate acts with, which was an unexpected reward.

Unconsciously, Chu Ge's attitude became gentler, "Alright, you can get up first."

But Mu Lingshan got stubborn and said with a hint of defiance, "I won't get up, I don't believe it, I can't even learn this!"

Looking at Mu Lingshan's determined expression, Chu Ge said with a mix of laughter and exasperation, "Alright, alright, then you sit there, but listen to me explain first, then we continue, right?"

"Alright, please... help me out."

Mu Lingshan had just spoken fiercely to Chu Ge, but he responded calmly, not holding a grudge at all. She was both surprised and a bit embarrassed, her tone softening unconsciously.

"Since you've never been in love, learning to act seductive right away is quite challenging. Let's start with ordinary couples first, once you get the hang of being cute and acting cute, we'll move to the next step, which will naturally be easier then."

Mu Lingshan nodded sincerely.

"Even though you've never been in a relationship, I remember you have a man you like, right? The mysterious expert who saved your life twice?"

Mu Lingshan's face instantly turned red, showing a few traces of shyness. Her hands subconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes, and after hesitating several times, she finally made a mosquito-like "um" sound.

Chu Ge laughed secretly in his heart and encouraged her, "Wow, not bad, that feeling just now was spot on. How about you imagine me as that mysterious expert and try to get a bit intimate with me to see the effect?"

Mu Lingshan glanced at Chu Ge, her mouth twitching, and snorted disdainfully, "You? Stop joking. Comparing you to him is like comparing heaven and earth. I can't do it, imagining you as him is simply insulting him!"

Chu Ge really didn't expect Mu Lingshan to say this, and his forehead broke out in black lines. He and "he" are clearly the same person, yet the disparity in treatment here is way too drastic?

Being speechless is one thing, but all Chu Ge could do was roll his eyes and say, "Even if you can't, you have to try, or when will we ever develop the rapport needed for our act? Once we get this step right, we can move to the next one. Do you still want to go to that manor with me?"

"Uh... yes, alright, I'll... give it a try."

Mu Lingshan replied reluctantly, feeling somewhat guilty to the mysterious expert she admired.
