Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 914 - 913: No Longer Needed for Now

Although He Qing had left Lido a long time ago, her voice and smile never faded from Qin Ruojing's heart. It might sound a bit strange, but that's how things are.After all, He Qing shone with the aura of "the most beautiful woman in China."

Of course, more importantly, every time Qin Ruojing thought of the scenes involving this woman in Lido, she found it more and more suspicious, increasingly feeling that He Qing was really here for Chu Ge.

In the past, Qin Ruojing never thought certain things were possible, but with the passage of time, she gradually discovered that things she deemed impossible became reality. It seemed that with Chu Ge, the word "impossible" always appeared to be weak.

As Chu Ge's wife, Qin Ruojing certainly had enough reasons to give her headaches.

The women around Chu Ge that she knew of included her and her sister, Tong Yaqi, Mu Lingshan, hmm... Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were also unclear in their relationship with him. The female staff who used to work with him in the Tianjiao Film and Television Administration Department seemed very close to him too. Luo Suyun, the financial director at Tianqing Company, looked at him in a rather strange way...

These were already so many that Qin Ruojing had noticed, so what about those she didn't know? It would be strange if she wasn't worried!

Initially, Qin Ruojing intentionally tried not to dwell on these things, but some thoughts can't just disappear by choosing to ignore them.

That feeling was like planting a seed in her heart; even if she didn't take care of it, it would silently take root, sprout, and grow on its own. One day, when a particular event acted as a catalyst, this seed would suddenly accelerate its growth, and might even bloom and bear fruit in an instant.

What taste would the fruit have in the end? That's hard to say, or even whether the fruit might be a bomb is unpredictable.

Qin Ruojing was in such a state today. When she saw the intimate scene between Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao at the airport, the Pandora's box deep in her heart began to riot, collapse, and shatter. Soon after, a rush of negative emotions burst forth.

Qin Ruojing found out that she wasn't as strong or confident as she had imagined. In fact, even in that situation, she still wanted to trust Chu Ge. Unfortunately, she couldn't stop overthinking.

She even pondered what reaction He Qing, Tong Yaqi, Qin Ruoying, or Mu Lingshan would have if they were in her place?

Upon returning home, Qin Ruojing asked someone to change the locks. She didn't go anywhere that day, just locked herself up at home, thinking repeatedly, until she vaguely heard her sister's voice. Only then did she open the door with the new lock, and upon seeing Chu Ge, her already complicated emotions became even more chaotic beyond measure.

"Later on, I indeed found a listening device on her clothes. To prevent Chu Chengrui from suspecting, I didn't separate from her immediately and stayed outside until evening."

In Qin Ruojing's silence, Chu Ge recounted everything between him and Chu Shiyao, thoroughly and completely.

Qin Ruojing listened to every word Chu Ge said clearly, but she remained silent. It wasn't that she didn't trust him, nor that she had nothing to say, but rather that her mind was in such disarray, making it hard to process things for the moment.

He Qing alone was already weighing heavily on Qin Ruojing, and now the granddaughter of the Supreme Emperor of the Tiancheng Pharmaceutical empire had popped up? Would the day come when a superwoman appeared at Chu Ge's side?

Ha... Even if such a thing really happened, it might not be strange at all, right?

Compared to women like those, Qin Ruojing felt exceedingly insignificant, so insignificant that she seemed negligible.

Qin Ruojing pinched her brow, lying on the bed with her back to Chu Ge, letting out a long sigh.

Chu Ge stood by the bedside for nearly a minute. Seeing Qin Ruojing always turning her back to him and not saying anything, he hesitated slightly in his heart before getting on the bed, placing a jewelry box containing a platinum bracelet he bought beside her, then whispered in her ear and left the room.

"Wife, you rest for a while. I'll go make something delicious for you, and will call you when it's ready. This incident might involve Chu Shiyao's safety. If possible, I hope you can help us keep it a secret."

When he opened the bedroom door, Qin Ruoying was standing outside. Helplessly, Chu Ge flicked her forehead and shook his head without saying anything, then went straight to the kitchen carrying the food.

Chu Ge had long expected Qin Ruoying to eavesdrop. When he talked to Qin Ruojing earlier, he controlled his voice, so she couldn't hear anything clearly.

Qin Ruoying looked at Chu Ge, then at Qin Ruojing in the bedroom with her back to the door. After hesitating for a moment, she entered her sister's bedroom and closed the door.

Hearing the door close, Chu Ge glanced back. He hoped that Qin Ruojing would keep the secret for him, but if she told Qin Ruoying the truth, there was nothing he could do about it.

Chu Ge spent nearly two hours making a sumptuous meal, occasionally checking Qin Ruojing's bedroom, which remained very quiet, and he had no idea what the sisters were discussing.

With the dishes served, Chu Ge called out, and the Qin sisters emerged from the bedroom.

The lavish dinner that took Chu Ge nearly two hours to prepare ended in less than ten minutes.

The dining table atmosphere was eerily quiet. Not to mention Qin Ruojing, even Qin Ruoying, who was usually mischievous and found it hard to stay silent for three minutes, remained quiet throughout, just keeping her head down to eat, and after finishing, silently left the table and returned to her bedroom.

Amid this quietness, Chu Ge looked at the table full of scarcely touched food and could only respond with a helpless, bitter smile in his heart.

There was certainly some disappointment, but Chu Ge's mood was far from being downcast. Since the misunderstanding had been cleared up, he believed that Qin Ruojing could trust him and understand him as she always did; after all, they've always managed to get through the hard times together, haven't they?

With this in mind, Chu Ge turned his gaze towards Qin Ruojing who was still at the table, noticing that she too had her eyes on him.

Their gazes met above the slightly cold dishes. Chu Ge wore his signature smile, but after two seconds of eye contact, Qin Ruojing looked away, stood up from the table, and returned to her room.

Qin Ruojing appeared calm, but in reality, she wasn't entirely unruffled. Just this was enough to make Chu Ge breathe a little easier. As long as there was some emotion in those eyes and not a lifeless pool, anything could be discussed.

After tidying up the table and washing the dishes, Chu Ge returned to the bedroom to find Qin Ruojing already snug under the covers. He didn't say much, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then lay down beside her.

"Honey, are you still mad?" Chu Ge gently tapped Qin Ruojing's hand.

Qin Ruojing said nothing.

"How was it this time visiting home? Are Mom and Dad doing well? Did they nag you again about having kids?"

Qin Ruojing still didn't respond.

Chu Ge chuckled again, "Oh, have you decided where we're going for our honeymoon? Domestic or abroad?"

At this moment, Qin Ruojing finally responded, "I'm tired, I don't want to talk, let's sleep."

"Okay, whatever you want. We can figure it out tomorrow," Chu Ge agreed, turned over, switched off the light, and went to sleep.

No matter how heavy the rain, there comes a time when it stops. He believed that this minor turbulence between him and Qin Ruojing would soon pass. Isn't there a saying that couples fight at the head of the bed and make up at the end? Maybe by tomorrow morning, everything will be fine.

In the early morning, Chu Ge got up as usual to make breakfast. He and the Qin sisters sat at the dining table as usual. Everything seemed no different from any other day until Qin Ruoying left for kindergarten, and Qin Ruojing got ready to go out.

As he watched Qin Ruojing walk towards the door, Chu Ge cheerfully called out, "Honey, shouldn't you give me a copy of the new house key?"

Qin Ruojing paused slightly, without answering or turning around.

"Oh, by the way, have you tried on the bracelet I bought you yesterday? Does it fit? Show it to me?"

Since Qin Ruojing did not come over, Chu Ge smiled and walked towards her.

"The key... I think you won't need it for the time being, and as for the bracelet... I think I won't need it either."

Chu Ge paused, slightly doubting his ears.

"Chu Ge, let's take some time apart, for both of us to think carefully about whether we're really suitable for each other."

Qin Ruojing slowly turned around. Despite wanting to appear calm, as she spoke these words, she instinctively bit her lip.

Chu Ge was stunned, questioning his ears more. Hadn't he explained everything clearly yesterday? Could it be that Qin Ruojing couldn't trust him or understand him anymore?

"Honey, what are you talking about? We're already married; the big red marriage certificate is right in the drawer."

Chu Ge paused, suddenly grinning, and pointed at Qin Ruojing.

"Oh~ I get it, you're playing along with me now, huh? Hey! You're quite convincing. Alright, you've successfully fooled me. Come on, dear, won't you give me a smile?"

"I'm not joking. Just because we're married doesn't mean we can't separate."

Qin Ruojing bit her lip harder, and when she opened her mouth, there were noticeable teeth marks left on her lip.

"Ha ha..." Chu Ge laughed heartily, "Oh stop pretending. Your acting skills are really getting stronger, aren't they? Alright, go ahead and laugh if you want to."

Qin Ruojing stared into Chu Ge's eyes for a long moment before finally managing to force a smile, albeit a fleeting one, and without saying another word, she put on her shoes and walked out the door.

"Click"

The sound of the door closing reached Chu Ge's ears, along with a barely audible sigh.

The smile on Chu Ge's face gradually faded. He stared blankly at the tightly shut door, as if hoping it would suddenly open and Qin Ruojing would come in, brightly smiling and telling him it was indeed a joke.

A minute passed... ten minutes passed, and the door remained motionless, the room eerily silent.
