"You rascal."

Although Qin Ruojing had transformed from a girl into a woman, she was still quite thin-skinned on such topics. She pushed against Chu Ge's forehead with her hand and gave him a playful side-eye.

"Alright, stop fooling around, it's still broad daylight."

Even though Chu Ge didn't have any intention at that moment, seeing Qin Ruojing's expression, he couldn't help but want to tease her a little.

Chu Ge held the delicate hand that Qin Ruojing used to push him away and said confidently, "Ha, we're a couple, what's there to be afraid of in broad daylight? Besides, we're at home, not out on the street."

After Chu Ge finished speaking, Qin Ruojing's expression became even more speechless, and Chu Ge laughed even more heartily.

As Chu Ge laughed, he suddenly pretended to pinch his chin as if he just realized something and said, "Hey? Wait a minute, even if we were on the street, there's nothing wrong with me giving you a sip of water, right? Could it be... you were thinking of something else?"

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Qin Ruojing felt both embarrassed and angry, becoming more guilty as she rolled her eyes at Chu Ge again with a stern yet tender gaze, "I wasn't, I was just talking about drinking water. Should I be thinking about something else?"

"No way, you definitely thought of something else, otherwise why would you explain so much, and why does your face look strange?"

"What? How did I explain so much? Can't I just say something casually? What's so strange about my expression? It's perfectly fine, you're the crazy one!"

"Nope, definitely not right, what's going on?"

Chu Ge looked at Qin Ruojing "puzzled," asking with a straight face, then suddenly grinned with an enlightened expression, lifting a finger to wave in front of Qin Ruojing, chuckling mischievously, "Oh... I know what you were thinking..."

He dragged the "oh" very long, and his expression was as cheeky as it could be.

Before Chu Ge could finish, Qin Ruojing hurriedly interrupted, "Don't talk nonsense, I wasn't thinking about that kind of thing!"

"That kind of thing?" Chu Ge feigned surprise, blinking, "What kind of thing?"

Qin Ruojing was exasperated. Even if Chu Ge acted well, she knew he was doing it on purpose, so she turned her face away and simply ignored him.

But even so, Qin Ruojing was even more speechless in her heart. This guy, seemingly carefree, always had some way to tug at her heartstrings. With just a casual word, he could make her tangled up. It had to be said, this was indeed a skill, one that only Chu Ge had for her.

"Wifey, I didn't even say what kind of thing it was, how do you know what kind of thing it was? The kind of thing you mentioned, which thing is it really?"

The more conflicted Qin Ruojing looked, the prouder Chu Ge felt, teasing her like this was just too much fun. He couldn't help but squeeze her little hand with a laugh, pestering her by her ear.

Qin Ruojing originally wanted to keep a straight face and ignore Chu Ge, but hearing his tongue-twister-like words, she couldn't help but giggle, turning to glance at him and said with playful annoyance, "You're just pretending, as if you don't know."

Chu Ge also wanted to laugh at this moment but barely held it in, blinking innocently, "What? I really don't know, okay?"

Chu Ge's cheeky expression suddenly sparked a bit of mischief in Qin Ruojing. After being passively cornered for so long, she decided it was time to take the initiative to retaliate.

Unconsciously, Qin Ruojing gave a coquettish smile, looking into Chu Ge's eyes and arching her slender eyebrows, "You really don't know?"

Chu Ge nodded earnestly, "Mm, I really don't know, if I knew, I wouldn't need to ask you, would I?"

"Oh, I see."

With a knowing smile, Qin Ruojing suddenly leaned close to Chu Ge's ear, "I can give you a chance to be honest. Are you sure you don't want to say what you're thinking? If we happen to be thinking about the same thing, maybe I'll agree to it."

Seeing Qin Ruojing's charming smile, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel speechless. Hey? He was the one teasing her, so how did it turn around? No way, he had to regain the upper hand, so he decided to continue playing dumb.

If he admitted to it now, wouldn't he be conceding defeat on this topic?

He couldn't help but chuckle, "I asked first, alright? You tell me first what you were thinking and I'll tell you what I was thinking."

Qin Ruojing knew Chu Ge would say that; she was waiting for this line. Seemingly speechless but secretly pleased, she laughed lightly and shook her head slightly, "Oh, that's really too bad."

Chu Ge was really a bit baffled by Qin Ruojing this time, "Too bad? What's too bad?"

Qin Ruojing shrugged, "I thought you were talking about doing some things between a husband and wife. I was actually going to agree, but it looks like I was overthinking it, so let's forget about it."

After finishing, Qin Ruojing sneaked a glance at Chu Ge, then suppressed her laughter and got out of bed, leaving him facing her back as she walked out of the bedroom.

Listening to the "glug glug" sound from the water dispenser in the living room, Chu Ge felt both frustrated and speechless. He originally wanted to use this topic to tease Qin Ruojing properly, but unexpectedly, he got played by her. What is this?

Sigh... she was so embarrassed just now, yet suddenly she turned defense into offense, even setting a trap for him.

Women are truly such strange and complex creatures!

Chu Ge was sulking, and Qin Ruojing had already returned from the living room, her face full of bright laughter. She waved the cup in her hand at Chu Ge, saying, "Honey, are you thirsty?"

Chu Ge secretly rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that he had said so much, talking like a tongue twister, of course, he was already parched. Wasn't that a redundant question?

This was what he thought in his heart, but Chu Ge didn't admit defeat at all. He shook his head, "Not thirsty, not thirsty at all."

"Oh? Really not thirsty at all?" Seeing Chu Ge's words completely contradicting his feelings, the corners of Qin Ruojing's mouth rose even higher, and after asking, she raised the cup in her hand and slowly brought it to her lips.

In Chu Ge's view, Qin Ruojing elegantly sipped on the rim. Watching her drink water all by herself, he murmured pitifully to himself.

Alas... Who said I'm not thirsty? My dear wife, could you stop teasing me like this?

The more he watched Qin Ruojing drink water, the more depressed Chu Ge became. He simply turned his head to the side and sat on the edge of the bed, rolling his eyes in exasperation.

Tap, tap, tap...

Qin Ruojing's footsteps gradually approached. Chu Ge didn't turn his head. In any case, if their eyes met, he certainly wouldn't escape from Qin Ruojing's teasing. Isn't that bringing trouble upon himself?

Chu Ge regretted it so much in his heart. He might as well have stopped while things were good and been a bit more honest. Although he might still be teased by Qin Ruojing, don't couples tease each other to have fun?

Well... maybe... just shamelessly negotiate with her again?

As a husband, occasionally bowing to your wife isn't a shameful thing, right?

Besides... the day after tomorrow, we're going to see Liang Chen. No one can say what the situation will be like then, what if...

Sigh, isn't it time to stop caring about face?

My wife, I'm really thirsty, really, particularly thirsty.

Uh... Uh?

Chu Ge was pondering, and by then, Qin Ruojing had already walked up to him and gently took hold of Chu Ge's hand.

Led by that gentle grip, Chu Ge instinctively turned his head to meet Qin Ruojing's gaze and saw her holding a cup of water, bringing it up to his lips.

Chu Ge was slightly taken aback, then opened his mouth. Instantly, a cool, sweet taste spread through his lips and tongue. The water his wife brought was truly sweet.

Hehe, my wife still spoils me. Drinking the water, Chu Ge felt an overwhelming sense of happiness well up inside him, and his eyes were filled with a strangely bright light. He immediately drank mouthful after mouthful, finding it sweet not just on the tongue but also in the heart.

Qin Ruojing was looking into Chu Ge's eyes at this moment, her pretty face full of tenderness. She meant to give Chu Ge a glare, but seeing his surprise, a smile crept onto her exquisite face despite herself.

After feeding Chu Ge the whole cup, Qin Ruojing looked at his blissful expression and couldn't help but smile too.

"Was it good?"

Chu Ge nodded vigorously. "Very good!"

"It's just giving you a drink of water. Do you have to be so dramatic?" Qin Ruojing placed the cup to the side. Despite her immense happiness, she intentionally put on an amused expression.

"Dramatic?" Chu Ge scratched his head. "It's not dramatic at all, okay? Since we've known each other, isn't this the first time you've fed me water? Water that my wife brings must taste good, just like you'd find the food I cook for you especially delicious."

"How can that be the same? Your food is delicious by itself, no matter if you're my husband or not, your cooking is exceptional. What kind of logic is that?"

Chu Ge chuckled, finding Qin Ruojing's seriousness rather amusing. But looking at her, she probably did it intentionally to tease him, right?

Seeing Chu Ge laughing, Qin Ruojing deliberately put on a questioning face, "What are you laughing about? Are you up to something naughty again?"

Chu Ge didn't answer, but simply sat beside Qin Ruojing and started tickling her, "Hehe, take a guess?"

Laughing and talking, the two soon playfully tussled around.

"Wife, you're really beautiful." As they played, Chu Ge gazed into Qin Ruojing's eyes and sincerely praised her.

Just as Chu Ge said this, there was suddenly a noise at the door.

Qin Ruojing was startled, and Chu Ge's brows knitted tightly together.
