Although it was the first time for Ye Li and Chen Jiatong, Xu Jingyuan to meet, Chu Ge did not introduce them to each other.

Firstly, there was an outsider present in the room, and he really didn't know how to explain the relationship between Ye Li and himself.

Secondly, bringing Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan home was just a temporary measure, and his immediate task was to find a safe place for these two women.

Even without introductions, Chu Ge believed that with Ye Li's gentle nature, combined with the eloquence of Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan, the three would not feel too awkward together, especially since he intended to return shortly.

As for what the wallpaper workers might think, that was none of his business. They could think whatever they liked.

In fact, when Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan stepped into the bedroom, the wallpaper workers were completely dumbfounded.

Even though the two women were wearing sunglasses that covered most of their faces, just from their curvaceous figures and the parts of their faces not hidden, the workers had no doubt that these two women were undoubtedly top-notch beauties.

If that were all, it wouldn't have been much, but the critical thing was that clearly, Ye Li didn't know these two beauties, yet Ye Li's husband hadn't even introduced them but just left the three different beauties there and walked away?

This… What's going on here? Isn't that a bit too strange?

What made them even more puzzled was that the legitimate wife was surprisingly friendly to these two seemingly suspicious women, offering them water and helping them find a place to sit, without a hint of doubt.

And these newly arrived women were also responding graciously, completely without any guilty conscience, and within a few words, these three women were getting along very well?

Oh my gosh!

The renovation workers were completely baffled. That guy who came and went so quickly wasn't particularly handsome or extraordinarily wealthy, so how did he manage such a miraculous thing?

Chu Ge went downstairs, withdrew some money from a nearby ATM, and then wandered over to the community bulletin board, glancing through the rental listings.

Before long, Chu Ge found a place that could not have been more suitable, and it was in the building right across from his, so if anything really happened, he could get there immediately.

Having found the right place, Chu Ge immediately dialed the owner's number. Fortunately, the owner had nothing going on and readily agreed to Chu Ge's request to view the apartment.

The owner was a kindly old lady, and after they walked around the apartment and asked each other some questions, they both formed a good impression. Chu Ge straightforwardly decided, showing the fake ID he carried, and paid the deposit and a quarter's rent, renting the place swiftly.

Although Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were unlikely to stay there for so long, the minimum rental period was a quarter, and there was nothing else to be done about it.

Taking the key from the old lady, Chu Ge surveyed the surroundings once more. To be extra cautious, he took a taxi to a shop selling cameras, purchased some cameras, and installed them himself in the room, hallway, and even outside the walls, ignoring the shop's installation service.

Connecting the surveillance footage to his phone, Chu Ge inspected his handiwork and felt it was finally satisfactory. Along the way, he also bought some snacks and drinks before returning to his own apartment, though the closer he got to his front door, the slower his steps became.

Chu Ge's desire to see Ye Li wasn't purely a spur-of-the-moment decision the night before; he had this urge for a long time.

The main reason he hadn't come was that he didn't quite know how to face this girl.

However, after the surge of thoughts last night, this urge became stronger, and he increasingly felt the need to meet her and tell her that there was no need for her to waste her mind on him.

Yet, seeing Ye Li today made him find it difficult to say the things he had prepared; even without any outsiders, he found it hard to express those words.

Chu Ge could completely imagine how disappointed Ye Li would be once she learned he was married; he didn't want to hurt her but seemed to have no choice but to do so. That feeling was truly indescribable in its complexity.

Even though Chu Ge walked slowly, there was only so much distance, and the stairs were only so long; eventually, he reached the floor where his apartment was.

He didn't know what Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan had been talking about with Ye Li, or if they had revealed anything about the situation.

Watching his apartment door ajar, Chu Ge pinched his brows, sighed, and was about to enter the room when he suddenly heard the sound of people leaving. He saw the wallpaper workers coming out towards him.

"Hey? Back already, buddy?" The thin, dark-skinned man was surprised to see Chu Ge but immediately greeted him.

Chu Ge nodded, "Heading out, sir?"

"Hmm, it's done. Let's go." The skinny and dark man smiled, his gaze at Chu Ge full of admiration and envy.

As the two were about to pass by each other, the skinny man paused, glanced back, and gave Chu Ge a thumbs up.

"Bro, you're really lucky. I've never seen a woman as good as your wife. Let me just say this—take care of her and cherish her."

It was unclear if he admired Chu Ge for finding such a good wife, or if he marveled at the harmony among those three women, or perhaps he sincerely praised Ye Li, or possibly all of these reasons combined.

"Thank you, brother. I know."

Chu Ge smiled with a complex emotion, watching the wallpaper workers leave with their machines and tools, his mood becoming even more complicated.

Regardless, since he was already back, he couldn't just stand there foolishly at the door. He adjusted his emotions, then carried the food and drinks into the house.

In the bedroom, which had just been wallpapered with a simple khaki pattern, the three women were tidying up. Ye Li's face had a serene smile with a blush of happiness, and Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan seemed much more composed.

"I'm back." Entering the room, Chu Ge raised the plastic bag in his hand, "Take a break from your work, wash your hands, and have something to drink and eat."

The three women responded, putting down what they were holding and went to the bathroom to wash their hands before gathering around Chu Ge.

After chatting with them for a while, Chu Ge felt both disappointed and somewhat relieved. Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan evidently had not told Ye Li about his marriage.

Hesitant for a moment, Chu Ge ultimately refrained from mentioning his situation with Qin Ruojing, but intentionally or unintentionally, he left his left hand exposed, repeatedly letting the ring on his ring finger appear in Ye Li's sight.

Whether Ye Li truly didn't notice or pretended not to see, she constantly smiled tranquilly, showing no intention of asking about the ring.

Without realizing it, it was already evening. After seeing Ye Li off, Chu Ge took Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan back to the place he rented with a fake ID.

"I'm sorry for bringing you both here. I suppose you have some understanding of the situation now. Since Chen Yujie wants to continue with this, for your safety, I have to put you through this temporarily. I'm truly sorry."

Once the door was closed, leaving only Chu Ge and the two women inside, there was nothing left unsaid.

Meeting Chu Ge's apologetic gaze, Chen Jiatong shook her head, "Young Master Chu, you really don't need to apologize. It's us who should be saying sorry. If not for you, we would have lost our dignity once again."

Xu Jingyuan gave a wry smile, "Besides, since we are unsafe, you must be in even greater danger. We implicated you."

"Alright, there's no point saying that to me now. I'll try to resolve this matter more thoroughly in the coming days."

Chu Ge raised his hand to gently stroke Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan's hair, sighing softly.

"Before that, don't go to work, and try not to leave the house. Don't go home yet either. Turn off all location services on your phones. Call me anytime if you need anything, using that old phone number. If you must go out, make sure to change your appearance and be aware of your surroundings."

The two women nodded obediently, seeing the guilt still lingering in Chu Ge's expression and gaze. Chen Jiatong smiled, grabbing one of Chu Ge's hands.

"Young Master Chu, there's really no need to feel guilty. This place is quite nice. We often have to be in the public eye, so taking a few days to stay indoors is a great relaxation for us."

Xu Jingyuan grabbed Chu Ge's other hand, giggling, "Yes, Young Master Chu, not only can we relax and rest, but we also get your care. When do we ever get such an opportunity? We're too happy to care about anything else right now."

Watching Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan's playful and charming demeanor, Chu Ge found himself admiring them more and more. Any average woman would probably be nervous and scared to the point of tears by now, yet they could still comfort him with reassuring words. It was truly admirable.

"You two... your mouths can really talk." Chu Ge gently caressed the women's fingers, a hint of helplessness in his smile, "It's just a pity you're not very discreet. Why did you have to tell my wife about what happened yesterday? Now she's all on edge."

Chen Jiatong chuckled awkwardly, apologizing, "Well, we didn't want the chairman to misunderstand you because of us, affecting your relationship. But anyway, we're sorry."

"Young Master Chu, if you're angry at us, then punish us. This time, we'll be very discreet. No matter how you punish us, we won't let the chairman know."

Xu Jingyuan let out a playful laugh, her gaze drifting towards the direction of the bedroom.
