Chu Ge pondered the voice of the woman next door for a few seconds and suddenly froze, then immediately realized.

That's right, he had indeed just heard this voice, right on his way to the bathroom, it was the woman who was flirting with him!

Doesn't that mean Mu Lingshan was having dinner with this woman earlier?

Which also seems to imply that the so-called "acting superior" woman the man mentioned earlier was referring to Mu Lingshan?

Bastard, what a jerk!

Thinking of this, Chu Ge's face suddenly darkened, and he cursed inwardly with dissatisfaction. No wonder he felt displeased with that guy at first glance; it turned out he was actually interested in Mu Lingshan.

If it were some genuinely talented and outstanding young man, although Chu Ge might feel a bit uncomfortable, he wouldn't have any ill feelings. After all, Mu Lingshan is in her prime, and she's bound to find a man to marry, right? He can't go be her husband.

But the problem is, judging from what that guy just said, he doesn't seem to be a decent person at all. His intentions toward Mu Lingshan probably treat her like something to boast about, so how could Chu Ge possibly feel good at this moment?

Taking a silent breath, Chu Ge quietly straightened his body, and as long as he stood up straight plus the height of the water tank, he could see the situation in the partition next to him.

Of course, Chu Ge wasn't interested in peeping; he just felt it was necessary to confirm if this woman was the one he had just met.

"Shanshan, sorry? Actually, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. These things are just like eating and drinking, completely normal physiological needs. When you have a boyfriend, you'll gradually know everything."

Chu Ge took a closer look and turned out he had guessed right. The woman next door was indeed that one from before, and his dislike for her increased even more.

"You black fungus, shut up immediately. Didn't you notice our Tiger Girl doesn't want to talk about this topic? Even if this needs teaching, it shouldn't be your place to do it. What exactly do you think you are doing?"

Chu Ge inwardly criticized, just about to retract his body, but unexpectedly Mu Lingshan suddenly shot up, going from squatting to standing up extremely quickly, like there were springs under her feet, compressed and suddenly bouncing up.

Suddenly, too suddenly, Chu Ge was completely caught off guard, only feeling a burning pain in his leg, his mouth twitching twice, and his body instantly losing balance, swaying before falling off the water tank.

Seeing Chu Ge about to fall to the ground, Mu Lingshan panicked, as she had suddenly remembered something, and standing up was a completely instinctive reaction. Watching Chu Ge about to hit the ground, her mind went "buzz."

This was going to be bad; if Chu Ge made a sound, Huang Yourong would immediately know there was another man inside her partition!

And if Huang Yourong found out about this, it would be absolutely disastrous for her. If Huang Yourong were careless and spread the word, it would undoubtedly have a terrible impact on her reputation.

Even though... her relationship with Chu Ge had indeed gone beyond friendship, when it comes down to it, it was just between her and Chu Ge.

Even not considering her personal angle, from Chu Ge's angle, this would be a problem as well. It must be known that Chu Ge is already a married man, and there's no way she would want this to be found out by Chu Ge's wife.

If Chu Ge's wife, Qin Ruojing, found out about these things and some irreconcilable conflict erupted between them, then Mu Lingshan would be thoroughly deemed as a sinner.

Seeing Chu Ge almost about to hit the ground, Mu Lingshan's heart shot straight to her throat.

"Bang!"

The anticipated noise indeed came out, but... Chu Ge did not hit the ground. Just as he was about to land, his feet suddenly kicked outwards, his arms braced outwards, sticking his hands and feet to the panels of the partition walls, his whole body forming into a "T" shape, suspended in the air.

Mu Lingshan had turned around by now, first looking at the panel touched by Chu Ge's feet, then stared blankly at Chu Ge, eyes wide, mouth agape, full of incredulity, as if she'd been petrified.

Is this guy a gecko? How could he not let his body slide down such a smooth board?

What stunned her even more was... what kind of control over power is this?

She knew Chu Ge was strong, but she'd never imagined he could be this strong!

Mu Lingshan remembered clearly the first time she met Chu Ge, this guy had kicked open the door of the Third High School's disciplinary office!

But now, even this thin bathroom partition just made a muffled sound, not showing the slightest crack, not even a dent?

Meeting Mu Lingshan's astonished gaze, Chu Ge felt both leg pain and a headache. You see, there was a hairpin in Mu Lingshan's hair, one with sharp edges, and it had just scraped his leg. Although it didn't bleed, taking such a sudden hit was undoubtedly unpleasant.

Just then, a sudden scream of "ah" came from the partition next door, finally pulling Mu Lingshan's consciousness back to reality.

Huang Yourong suddenly heard that "bang," and the panel beside her shuddered violently, how could she not tremble?

"Shan... Shanshan, are you, are you okay?"

"Ah, ah? I..."

Although Mu Lingshan had snapped back to reality, her mind was clearly still somewhat blank. Several seconds passed without her being able to utter a complete sentence.

Seeing Mu Lingshan like this, Chu Ge, who was already speechless, became even more speechless. He took a hurried breath, removed his left hand from the door, pointed at the wastebasket, and gestured at the door with his elbow.

This time, Mu Lingshan's reaction was far slower than before. Even though Chu Ge gestured once, she still looked bewildered. Chu Ge had to silently mouth words while quickly gesturing again. Only then did Mu Lingshan understand his meaning. She quickly calmed her startled emotions and responded to Sister Huang next door.

"Ah, Sister Huang, I'm fine. It's just that my arm accidentally hit the door and startled you. I'm sorry."

"Whew... so that's it. You really gave me a fright just now. I almost peed on my feet. Well, I'm done too. Shall we go back together?"

Hearing Huang Yourong say this, Mu Lingshan was dumbfounded again. In just this short moment, her mood had been more thrilling than a roller coaster, all ups and downs, highs and lows!

Pausing briefly, Mu Lingshan pressed her lips tightly together and instinctively turned her gaze to the utterly helpless Chu Ge, her anxious expression seemingly saying, "Look at the lousy idea you came up with. Now what do I do?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, rubbed his stomach with his left hand, furrowed his brows, clenched his fist, and made a strained expression.

Mu Lingshan had been extremely nervous, but upon seeing Chu Ge's actions and expression, she relaxed a lot. This guy, he always seems to have endless tricks up his sleeve, never panicking no matter what the situation.

Ah! Such a difference!

Mu Lingshan sighed inwardly, and said perfunctorily, "Sister Huang, my stomach suddenly feels a bit uncomfortable again. You go ahead. I might need a few more minutes."

"Oh, that's fine. I'll head back first, so Director Chang doesn't get bored being alone. But hurry up, okay?"

"Mm, okay."

Mu Lingshan agreed, and soon the sound of the door next door followed, along with gradually fading footsteps.

When those footsteps vanished completely, Mu Lingshan went limp and started panting heavily.

Chu Ge stood back on his feet, his lips twitching. To be honest, the situation was incredibly funny, but to spare Mu Lingshan's feelings, he could only suppress his laughter and not burst out.

Chu Ge looked down, trying to hold back his laughter, and whispered, "Uh, it's really not a big deal. Look how anxious it's made you..."

"Get lost!" Mu Lingshan was frustrated, glaring daggers at Chu Ge, and muttered angrily.

Chu Ge grinned and directly handed over the nearly empty pack of "Heart to Heart" tissues to Mu Lingshan, pinching his nose dramatically like fanning away a bad smell.

"Lucky it wasn't a number two, otherwise... well, even if it was just a number one, staying this long was already enough for me."

"Get lost..."

Mu Lingshan was even more frustrated, snatching the pack of "Heart to Heart" tissues. If looks could kill, Chu Ge would have been tortured to death by her stare countless times by now.

Actually, Chu Ge was just joking earlier. The cleanliness of the restaurant's restroom was quite good, with air fresheners in every stall, so the smell wasn't bad at all.

And honestly, since it was Mu Lingshan here, never mind that the smell wasn't offensive, even if she really had been doing a number two, Chu Ge might have been a bit speechless, but he wouldn't have felt disgusted or repulsed.

Everyone's got crap in their guts, just like everyone's got darkness in their hearts. Those who appear noble might actually have more muck inside them.

"Alright, I'm off then."

Having caused such a big scene, Chu Ge didn't have the heart to keep teasing Mu Lingshan. Besides, they were in a restroom, and anyone could walk in anytime. He smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and was ready to slip out now that no one was outside.

However, just as Chu Ge turned around, Mu Lingshan grabbed his wrist. Chu Ge blinked, looked back at her, "What? You're holding onto me. How am I supposed to leave?"

Mu Lingshan gave Chu Ge a sidelong glance, weakly shook her head, and said, "Forget it, you better not go."

Chu Ge blinked a couple of times, "Uh... uh?"
