Qin Ruojing's gaze, surprisingly, wasn't on him, but fell on Tong Yaqi?

Falling on Tong Yaqi, Chu Ge actually could understand, but the key point is... in Qin Ruojing's expression, there wasn't any trace of jealousy, anger, or any negative emotions, rather it was like a humble student attentively listening in class?

Are you kidding me, what kind of joke is this? This reaction is just too strange, right?

Chu Ge secretly frowned, but even though he was puzzled, he still didn't say much, as if Qin Ruojing didn't exist.

Of course, the so-called notion of acting as if Qin Ruojing didn't exist was only on the surface, Chu Ge couldn't really ignore Qin Ruojing, his attention never left her.

After some hesitation, Chu Ge took a deep breath, then stood up and said to Tong Yaqi, "Yaqi, come on, let's go to your room."

Having said that, Chu Ge started walking, Tong Yaqi glanced at Qin Ruojing, seeing her nod, she followed Chu Ge out.

A half-hour passed, and Chu Ge returned to his room with Tong Yaqi, and Qin Ruojing was still there.

Back in the room, Chu Ge observed Qin Ruojing's expression and saw that, on her smiling face, was hidden a sense of... relief?

Even more baffling to Chu Ge, even quite amusingly inappropriate, was that when Qin Ruojing met his eyes, after a slight hesitation, she actually asked him a question, "Are you... tired? Shall I get you a bottle of water?"

Chu Ge, with mixed feelings, gave a faint smile and nodded, "Would you mind?"

"We are a couple, and Sister Yaqi and I are good friends, why say such things?" Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, went to the table, grabbed two bottles of mineral water, and handed them to Chu Ge and Tong Yaqi, "Besides, Sister Yaqi helped me with such a big favor today, I haven't even had the chance to thank her."

Qin Ruojing hadn't been asked anything by Chu Ge, even though it was a difficult topic to bring up, she felt she had to turn the conversation in this direction.

What Qin Ruojing was saying was indeed sincere, not only did she have no trace of displeasure at this moment, but she also felt a slight sense of gratitude, because she could sense that in Chu Ge's expression, there was clearly some sulkiness.

This also indicated that Chu Ge cared deeply for her, and if she showed any displeasure, he might not have any dealings with Tong Yaqi today or even in the future.

But Qin Ruojing had an agreement with Tong Yaqi in advance, and today she sincerely asked for her help, and they were friends as close as sisters; unless Tong Yaqi herself didn't want to have any dealings with Chu Ge, she didn't want to deprive Tong Yaqi of this happiness.

Perhaps it was hard for people to understand Qin Ruojing's thoughts at the moment, but it was her truest feeling.

Hearing Qin Ruojing's words, Tong Yaqi's expression tightened, Chu Ge's brow furrowed, Qin Ruojing's words were simply too bizarre, asking another woman to do these things with her husband and still needing to thank this woman for the help?

Are you kidding? What kind of logic is this?

Chu Ge hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't say much, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water, and seeing that Tong Yaqi still hadn't opened her bottle cap, he helped her open the cap of the mineral water, then handed that bottle over.

Tong Yaqi took a sip of water, pondered for a moment, and felt that the current atmosphere wasn't quite right for her to stay, Qin Ruojing and Chu Ge clearly had things to say to each other, so she used the excuse of taking a shower to go to the bathroom.

When Tong Yaqi closed the bathroom door, Chu Ge looked at Qin Ruojing, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking?"

Finally, waiting for Chu Ge to ask this question on his own, Qin Ruojing smiled softly, but didn't answer immediately. Instead, she bent down, picked up Chu Ge's bag, and pulled out his cigarettes and lighter, handing them over to Chu Ge.

Chu Ge was taken aback and didn't reach out to take them.

"Sister Yaqi mentioned that you always have the habit of smoking one at times like this." Qin Ruojing explained, pulling out a cigarette from the pack and placing it in Chu Ge's mouth, lighting it with a click.

"You two really have a close relationship, able to talk about anything." Chu Ge took a puff, exhaled a long breath with a complex feeling, "But shouldn't you answer my question first?"

"Alright." Qin Ruojing nodded, gave it another thought, and feeling her explanation was flawless, she smiled, "But you have to promise me, you won't laugh at me when I tell you."

"Okay." Chu Ge's expression showed a hint of impatience.

"Actually, I'm really not confident about this kind of thing. Today is our wedding night after all, I'm afraid I can't satisfy you, making my husband feel disappointed at a time like this."

Chu Ge blinked, looking at Qin Ruojing with a strange expression, "Just because of this? So you didn't let me touch you and called Tong Yaqi over?"

"Yes, I don't know anything, I have to learn well somehow, right?"

Seeing Qin Ruojing speak about such matters so seriously, yet so naturally, Chu Ge suddenly felt lines of stress appear on his forehead, filled with an indescribable mixture of sighs and suspicion in his heart. Could Qin Ruojing really go to such lengths just for his enjoyment?

"Lea... learn?" Chu Ge's tone was filled with disbelief as he pinched the bridge of his nose, paused for a moment, and continued, "Isn't it supposed to be me teaching you about things like this?"

Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, speechless, "You're not a woman, how could you teach me from a woman's perspective?"

Chu Ge was even more speechless, "If you learn from her and I go with her to her room, wouldn't that mean you learned nothing? If we were to do something right here, wouldn't you feel weird and uncomfortable in your heart?"

Qin Ruojing shook her head as if it were completely natural, "Actually, even if you went to her room, I could still see you because our phones are connected by video. If you really did something, why would I feel uncomfortable? Besides, weren't you both just staring blankly and did nothing?"

Chu Ge's mouth twitched, utterly defeated by this question, leaving him uncharacteristically speechless in front of Qin Ruojing. After taking several deep puffs of a cigarette, he finally said, "Why feel uncomfortable? It's obviously because you're my wife, and she isn't."

"She indeed isn't your wife, but before we got together, you two already had that kind of relationship, isn't that right?"

"But..."

Qin Ruojing smiled, "Don't say 'but' first, just answer my question with a nod or a shake of your head."

Chu Ge nodded; what Qin Ruojing said was indeed correct.

"So, if because of me, you break off that relationship, it would mean I took away Yaqi's happiness. Even if she doesn't say anything, she would definitely feel upset in her heart. You probably don't even know how important you are to her. How could I be so selfish?"

Chu Ge widened his eyes, looking at Qin Ruojing as if he didn't recognize her, inspecting her from top to bottom. Isn't love inherently selfish?

Qin Ruojing, just an ordinary family's child, could she really have such magnanimity and grace? Could she really be so generous?

Looking into those sincere eyes, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel ashamed. He originally thought Qin Ruojing didn't care about him as much as he had imagined, but now it seems he was completely wrong about Qin Ruojing, and terribly so!

This wasn't about not caring; it was about caring too much!

"Wife... you... you're so good to me."

Chu Ge stared dumbfounded at Qin Ruojing, and after a long while, he reached up to hold her hand. He said something that was incredibly corny but utterly sincere.

"Look at you, such a dummy." Qin Ruojing laughed, "Don't move, the ash is about to fall. I'll get you an ashtray."

With that said, Qin Ruojing went to get an ashtray, taking the cigarette from Chu Ge's mouth, gently tapped off the ash, and then placed the cigarette back in his mouth.

However, in Qin Ruojing's heart, she felt quite guilty. Before turning away, she let out a soft sigh. She really wanted to tell Chu Ge the truth, but she couldn't muster the courage. Rather than fearing Chu Ge's anger, she was worried about losing him because of it.

Watching Qin Ruojing, who clearly disliked the smell of smoke yet helped him light his cigarette and tapped off the ash, Chu Ge couldn't continue smoking this cigarette.

He firmly stubbed out the cigarette, tossing the ashtray to the side. As it landed on the table with a "thud," Chu Ge gently held Qin Ruojing's hand, not sure exactly what he was feeling, but he couldn't help letting out a silly laugh.

"Wife, why... why are you so good to me? How did I get so lucky to marry such a wonderful wife like you?"

Though Qin Ruojing trembled a little when Chu Ge first held her hand, feeling quite unaccustomed, seeing his silly expression and hearing his heartfelt sentiments, the slight panic in her heart was soon replaced by a deep softness.

She sighed softly, lowering her head to look at their intertwined fingers, speaking gently, "Because you're also good to me. Now that you've become my husband, who else would I be good to?"

"What do you mean I'm good to you?" Chu Ge awkwardly touched his nose, letting out an embarrassed laugh. He wasn't pretending; he genuinely believed that.

"When we were previously together, I was either angering you or teasing you. You have no idea how happy I was every time I saw you fuming. The angrier and more exasperated you were, the happier I got."

"It's not like I just met you yesterday. Don't think I'm unaware of your mischievous tendencies. I'm used to it now. Even though you often seem unreliable, you've never let me down at crucial moments. You've saved Tianjiao Film and Television, and you've saved my life too. Have you forgotten?"

"Haha, if you didn't mention it, I wouldn't even know I'm so dependable in your eyes." Chu Ge's silly smile grew wider, "You're not saying you fell for me and decided to marry me just out of gratitude, are you?"

Though Chu Ge was smiling, he felt somewhat helpless inside. He really hoped that wasn't the real reason.
