Seeing Mu Lingshan's reluctant face, Chu Ge thought to himself, "You don't need to pout now. The real pouting is yet to come. This is just the beginning!"

Nobody's blind; trying to hide flaws and work in perfect harmony isn't that easy, is it?

Regardless, since Mu Lingshan considered this a job, even though she still had some resentment, she started to try as per Chu Ge's instructions.

The effect was pretty obvious. When she sat on Chu Ge again and practiced for a while, she gradually brought her emotions into that mysterious expert's being. Her actions and expressions started to have a bit of that flavor.

After over an hour, Chu Ge felt it was time and proposed the second stage.

"Just now, you were doing a solo performance. Now, I will join in."

Upon hearing this, the small sense of pride Mu Lingshan felt from making progress was immediately replaced by tension, and her previously relaxed body tensed up again.

"What do you intend to do?"

"Of course, we're going to have some interactive engagement. What else could it be?" Chu Ge rolled his eyes and reached out his hand towards Mu Lingshan's hand.

Before Chu Ge's hand could reach, Mu Lingshan, like a startled rabbit, quickly leaped forward a few steps, putting some distance between her and Chu Ge.

"There's no need for that, right?"

Chu Ge shrugged indifferently. "Whatever you think... If you don't want to do it, that's fine. Just don't blame me if your performance slips and we're discovered in the casino because of it. I warned you."

Mu Lingshan hesitated for a moment, and replied defiantly, "Why are you just assuming it's my performance that will slip? Are you so confident you won't mess it up?"

Chu Ge grinned and said, "You've never even dated a boyfriend, and even doing some intimate gestures is tough for you. But I haven't been a virgin since I was fourteen, and I've been with women in the three figures. Do you think I'll have a problem pretending to be a lascivious playboy?"

Seeing Chu Ge's face full of self-assuredness and hearing the confidence in his words, Mu Lingshan felt a strong sense of shame and anger welling up, and her eye twitched immediately.

She's seen shameless people, but never someone this shameless.

According to Chu Ge, her keeping herself pure and not even having a boyfriend was a mistake, while his countless flings were something to be proud of?

However, since things had progressed to this point, Mu Lingshan didn't want to give up halfway. So, she gritted her teeth hard, took a breath, and finally, while meeting Chu Ge's gaze, said solemnly, "Fine, I'll cooperate. But... don't go too far!"

Chu Ge curled his lips, "You make it sound like I'm getting some great advantage. With your figure, no chest, no butt, if it weren't to help you out, I wouldn't even be interested in wasting time here with you."

Mu Lingshan's face turned even redder with anger.

Her figure might not be as voluptuous as those of Western women, but among Hua Country women, it was definitely impressive. How did it become so insignificant in Chu Ge's eyes?

"Huh! Wasting time? You think you can just not waste it if you don't want to!"

Flushed with anger, Mu Lingshan stomped back to Chu Ge, gave him a fierce glare, grabbed his hand, and said viciously, "Open your eyes wide and take a good look. Is my figure really that bad?"

Seeing the embarrassed, red-faced Mu Lingshan, Chu Ge was quite amused. For a straightforward and impulsive girl like her, provoking her was incredibly effective.

Of course, Chu Ge completely understood her feelings at this moment. After all, she was still an innocent young woman, and encountering something like this would naturally unsettle her. So even though her words were a bit harsh, he wouldn't hold it against her. After all, this was all preparation for what lay ahead.

Yes, understanding is key. It's all for the smooth development of preparations.

As they say, starting is the hardest part. Now that such a fiery and "positive" start had been made, things would become much easier.

Initially, Mu Lingshan was both ashamed and angry, but she quickly realized that Chu Ge's gaze was calm and devoid of any wickedness, only showing helplessness and frustration. Gradually, she let go and, under Chu Ge's guidance, she continually corrected her deficiencies, and increasingly got into the right frame of mind.

The two of them kept at it from a little after six till late at night. Chu Ge enjoyed himself thoroughly, manipulating Mu Lingshan, the police flower, however he liked, without any psychological burden. Regarding his expressions, trying to appear serious was not difficult at all.

In the past, Mu Lingshan always had a problem with him, but as they say, the tables have turned. Now she needed him, and hmm hmm... It was time for a little payback.

Mu Lingshan was utterly exhausted, with her practice of charming smiles leading her face to cramp up. For her, just trying to show a natural charming smile wasn't an easy task, and the interaction they required was even more exhausting than running a marathon.

When Chu Ge finally spoke, saying, "Let's call it a day," Mu Lingshan truly felt as if she had seen the light at the end of the tunnel, as if winter had passed and spring had come again.

A little after midnight, after agreeing to keep in touch by phone, Mu Lingshan stepped out into the night and left Chu Ge's place.

Dragging her weary body back to her own place, just when she wanted to collapse onto the bed and sleep, she was surprised to find that she wasn't sleepy at all, her mind replaying the practice she had with Chu Ge.

Mu Lingshan couldn't help but raise her hand to rub her temples and furrow her brows tightly. What was happening to her?

The next morning, Chu Ge woke up and called Qin Ruojing. Since Mu Lingshan's behavior had already met his expectations, he should head to Jinkai Villa to have some fun.

The phone rang seven or eight times before Qin Ruojing's voice came through the receiver.

"Chairman, are you at home or at the office?"

"At the office, why?"

"There's something I need to discuss with you, I'll come over right now."

After hanging up, Chu Ge ate a little bread and milk at home and then went to Tianjiao Building.

Ever since Qin's mother left Lidu, this was the first time they had contacted each other again. Qin Ruojing was really bothered by what happened those nights. She didn't blame Chu Ge too much, but just thinking about it made her feel particularly awkward.

So, without needing Chu Ge to avoid her, she started avoiding Chu Ge first. Plus, these days her sister Qin Ruoying seemed not to have any new actions. She was mysteriously busy outside every day, making Qin Ruojing wonder whether she should completely cut off this absurd affair with Chu Ge.

However, after thinking it over, Qin Ruojing decided to wait a bit more. What if her sister took advantage of a relaxed moment to make a sudden move?

Besides, not seeing Chu Ge these days, she honestly found herself missing him a bit, especially... every night, during the time when her mom was eavesdropping outside and Chu Ge was giving her a hand.

Qin Ruojing was quite conflicted. Even after a few days, her mood hadn't fully calmed down. She had just been thinking about Chu Ge when unexpectedly, Chu Ge called her to say he wanted to meet.

"This guy looking for me... what on earth does he want to do?"

As Qin Ruojing was pondering, Chu Ge pushed the door open and came in.

"You're here?" Qin Ruojing smiled somewhat unnaturally and greeted Chu Ge.

"Chairman, I need to borrow some money." Seeing Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge, thinking about those nights, felt a bit uneasy, so he simply went straight to the point and stated his purpose upon entering the room.

"Borrow money?" Qin Ruojing's expression turned strange. She had thought of numerous reasons why Chu Ge might be looking for her, but borrowing money was not one of them.

Logically, this guy's salary wasn't low, so how could he be short on money? Could it be that he had been out there partying and wasting money these days?

Thinking of this, Qin Ruojing suddenly felt a rise of baseless anger and got a bit irritated.

However, Qin Ruojing didn't show it on her face. After a slight pause and realizing that Chu Ge just said "Hmm" without intending to explain further, she adjusted her mood and said calmly, "How much do you need?"

"One hundred... um, two million, if quick, I'll return it in two or three days; if slow, probably within ten days."

Qin Ruojing was stunned again. It was surprising enough that Chu Ge was borrowing money from her, and even more so that he was asking for such a large amount. Her elegant eyebrows couldn't help but knit together.

"Two million? Did you owe someone gambling debts?"

Chu Ge grinned, "Of course not, it's just something urgent."

Qin Ruojing looked at Chu Ge for a few more seconds. Seeing that he had no intention of explaining, she nodded, pulled out a bank card from her bag, placed it on the table, and transferred two million into it via her phone.

"If I remember correctly, there was about a million in this card before, and I just transferred another two million; take it. The password is the same as before, but... are you sure three million is enough?"

This time, it was Chu Ge's turn to be dumbfounded.

Although he thought Qin Ruojing would probably lend him money, he didn't expect her to do it so readily. Except for asking if he owed gambling debts, she handed over the money without a second thought, even lending him an extra million?

Looking at the bank card on the table, Chu Ge scratched his head, "Chairman, do you trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I'll run off with your money?"

Qin Ruojing smiled faintly, "Would you?"

Chu Ge immediately felt somewhat bored; of course, he wouldn't. Simultaneously, because of Qin Ruojing's trust in him, he felt quite warm inside.

Feeling warmed, yet teasing Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge said again, "Who knows, three million, what a huge amount of money. I don't even trust myself, but you're so generous. By the way, aren't you curious why I need the money?"

Qin Ruojing smiled faintly, "Is there even a need to ask?"
