Qin Ruojing's push was so forceful that Chu Ge staggered and ended up sitting on the bed.

Logically speaking, with Chu Ge's capabilities, not to mention a frail woman like Qin Ruojing, even a master at Da Shan's level would find it nearly impossible to make him stumble with a push.

The reason he got pushed over was entirely because he didn't need to be on guard against Qin Ruojing at all, they were standing very close to each other, and he was preoccupied with his thoughts, giving Qin Ruojing the opportunity to do this.

In fact, even when Qin Ruojing reached out to push him, he could have easily maintained his balance, but if he had braced himself and counteracted the force, it might have been Qin Ruojing who ended up falling.

Behind him was the bed, soft and cushioned, while behind Qin Ruojing was the hard floor. If she fell, her pretty head would definitely get a nasty bump.

In such a situation, the choice was simple.

He certainly couldn't let Qin Ruojing fall. If she got hurt, it would be even more troublesome for him. He hated trouble, especially avoidable trouble.

This may sound complicated, but from the time Qin Ruojing reached out to push Chu Ge to the moment he landed on the bed, barely a second had passed.

In that brief moment, Chu Ge instinctively wanted to defend himself but changed his mind, allowing Qin Ruojing to push him over. This was not a simple matter, and if it were anyone else, they might not have been able to change their actions so quickly even if they had the same thought.

Qin Ruojing was, of course, unaware of all this; she only knew that she was very angry right now!

Chu Ge lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"Chairman, you..."

Just as Chu Ge was about to say something and get up from the bed, Qin Ruojing pressed down on his shoulder first, and the ceiling overhead transformed into Qin Ruojing's delicate face.

Except, on that delicate face now was a smile full of… ominous intent.

In this posed situation between them, if he tried to get up, there was no doubt his head would either bump into Qin Ruojing's. Chu Ge swallowed, thinking it best not to act rashly for the moment.

"Chu Ge, hmm, perhaps... I should call you Master Chu? Did you have a good time with that policewoman, spending the money you borrowed from me these past few days?"

Qin Ruojing spoke with a smile, her tone unusually gentle, but the words reached Chu Ge's ears completely bereft of warmth, causing his skin to prickle with goosebumps.

"Chairman, please don't tease me like that. I was out there on serious business, not having fun!"

Chu Ge spoke, scooting back a bit; Qin Ruojing's words, combined with their current posture, made him quite uneasy. At the least, he needed to straighten up his body, right?

"Oh... off on serious business, hmmm, taking down the cancer that was Jinkai Villa certainly counts as serious business."

Qin Ruojing's smile remained as radiant as ever, and her tone as gently inviting, yet she did not let her words impede her actions; as Chu Ge moved back a bit, she moved forward a bit.

Although Qin Ruojing smiled like a spring breeze and spoke extraordinarily softly, the pressure on Chu Ge was many times greater compared to when she wore a stern expression and acted decisively.

Of course, what made Chu Ge uncomfortable was not just Qin Ruojing's expression and tone, but more importantly, their current posture.

At this moment, Qin Ruojing was like an elegant yet playful cat, her hands and legs supporting herself on the bed and confining him to a very limited space. Although her hands and legs did not touch his body, they were only one or two centimeters away.

"Thud"

Before he knew it, Chu Ge's head bumped against the headboard, and he realized he had nowhere else to retreat.

"Chairman, can we talk properly, without the strange intonation? What exactly do you want to say to me?"

Chu Ge was getting a bit overwhelmed, exhaling as he tried to lift his upper body. He honestly didn't believe Qin Ruojing wouldn't move aside.

"Strange intonation? How dare I be strange with Master Chu?"

Yet, just as he had barely lifted his head, Qin Ruojing pushed him back down onto the bed again.

At this point, Chu Ge was truly getting a little annoyed. Today's whole incident with Mu Lingshan had already pushed him to his limits, and now Qin Ruojing wouldn't let him be either?

Chu Ge glared, speaking with clear displeasure, "Qin Ruojing, isn't this enough? It's not like I haven't returned the money I owe you, so why are you treating me like this?"

Qin Ruojing nodded, "Oh, you're right indeed; it's not like you haven't repaid me. You being Master Chu with your gallant spirit, iron will, and heroism won't do something like defaulting on a debt. So should I thank you for paying back the money on time?"

"I say, are you sick? Do you have a problem? Can you speak properly? What's the point of this whole act?"

"What do I mean?" Qin Ruojing smoothed her hair, "Guess what I mean?"

Chu Ge felt more and more awkward, even his breathing felt awkward.

However, before he could lose his temper, Qin Ruojing frowned first, glaring at him coldly, "Chu Ge, are you kidding? Are you a cop, or Superman? What's that villa got to do with you? Do you have to get involved in this mess?"

Qin Ruojing's face fell, but Chu Ge couldn't get angry. He could clearly see the worry in Qin Ruojing's eyes, his heart strangely warmed, and all his anger dissolved with this warmth. He awkwardly looked at Qin Ruojing, having no choice but to mumble, "Aren't I just doing my duty to protect people?"

Qin Ruojing looked at Chu Ge coldly, gritting her teeth, pointing at his nose, "Just doing your duty? Okay, okay, okay, you're great, you're capable, but are these things your responsibility? Do you think you're a savior? There's so much evil in the world, can you handle it? What if something happens to you? What then? What then!?"

With a series of "What then?" Qin Ruojing shouted out, each word louder than the last, clearly filled with anger!

The colder Qin Ruojing's tone, the warmer Chu Ge felt inside. He had known Qin Ruojing for so long, and it was really the first time he saw her so furious, and this anger clearly stemmed from her concern for him.

Unconsciously, Chu Ge showed his signature smile, casually scratching his nose, "Alright, it's just a small casino, there's no tough guys inside, how could some small fries harm me? Besides, didn't I come back safe and sound?"

Qin Ruojing snorted, moving Chu Ge's hand aside with a swift motion, glaring fiercely at him, "You came back, but who knows if you came back all fine? Take off your clothes, let me see."

Chu Ge sweated a little, "There's no need for that, right? I'm really fine, besides..."

Qin Ruojing raised an eyebrow, squinting her eyes, "Besides what?"

"Besides, you're not my wife, there's no need to react so strongly, is there?" Though the words were a bit off-putting, Chu Ge felt it was better to say it, counting it as a reminder to Qin Ruojing about their relationship.

Qin Ruojing paused, pursing her lips, the atmosphere between them sinking into a somewhat oppressive silence.

After a few seconds, just as Chu Ge was pondering whether what he said was too much, Qin Ruojing suddenly gave him an annoyed glance, pinching his arm teasingly and slightly resentfully.

"Not now, who says it won't be in the future?"

Chu Ge's mouth twitched, gasping slightly, both from the pain and surprise, Qin Ruojing's words hinted at a determination that suggested she wouldn't marry anyone else.

"No, Chairwoman, you..."

"Alright, stop your nonsense. Who knows if you're just showing off? I told you to take it off, so take it off, and I'll be relieved. Why all the chatter?"

At this point, Chu Ge also put on a serious face, "It's not me talking too much, it's you that really has no need to worry about me, okay?"

Seeing Chu Ge speaking so resolutely, Qin Ruojing suddenly felt a little upset. She just wanted to care for Chu Ge, what's wrong with that? Where did she go wrong?

"Do you think I want to care about you?"

"Then don't care."

Qin Ruojing punched Chu Ge, "How can you be so ungrateful, you're simply a jerk!"

"I am a jerk, whether I am or not has nothing to do with you."

With that, Chu Ge didn't look at Qin Ruojing again, getting up to leave the bed. Qin Ruojing initially wanted to ignore Chu Ge out of spite, but ultimately glanced over.

At that glance, Qin Ruojing was first stunned, then couldn't help but feel a bit lucky, good thing she looked over just in time, otherwise, she really would have fallen for Chu Ge's trick!

That jerk had a somewhat teasing look on his face at that moment, and suddenly Qin Ruojing felt like she had been played. How could she feel so bad just a moment ago? Turns out this guy did it on purpose, huh?

Qin Ruojing was about to put on a stern face, but upon thinking about it, hadn't she already decided to be with Chu Ge?

Since she had already decided, she should stick to her own plan, and even if there are some bumps along the way, she was determined to persevere.

By the time they get married, everything of hers would belong to Chu Ge, even if Chu Ge purposely played tricks now, it wasn't that big of a deal, after all, wasn't he saying those things to avoid worrying her?

Thinking of this, although Qin Ruojing still felt a bit uncomfortable, it was much better than before. As Chu Ge was about to walk out, she grabbed his hand.

"What now?" Chu Ge asked coldly, still wearing a serious face.
