Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 913 - 912: If You Care About Your Dignity, Get Out

Chu Ge knocked for a long time, but no one inside paid him any attention. Chu Ge pressed his ear against the door to listen carefully. Although there were no sounds coming from inside, it didn't mean that nobody was there.Helplessly scratching his head, Chu Ge placed the plastic bag full of groceries by the door and waited patiently. Even if Qin Ruojing was really home and deliberately not opening the door for him, he had no complaints. She indeed had plenty of reasons to be angry.

After waiting for more than half an hour, there was still no movement from the door. Instead, Qin Ruoying returned home.

"Honey, you're already at the door. Why aren't you going inside? Why are you leaning against the wall?"

Chu Ge gave a wry smile. Before he could even speak, Qin Ruoying chuckled, "Ha! You wouldn't be waiting here especially for me, would you?"

"Uh... actually, your sister is back."

"Huh?"

Qin Ruoying was momentarily stunned, her bright smile faltering slightly. Honestly, she hadn't had enough of just the two of them together. But she quickly snapped back, with a bit of doubt appearing on her pretty face, motioning for Chu Ge to come over to talk.

"Brother-in-law, my sister is back. What does it have to do with you standing outside? You... could it be that my sister kicked you out? Huh? That doesn't add up. If she kicked you out, how could you bring the groceries with you?"

Since Qin Ruojing had returned, Qin Ruoying resumed addressing Chu Ge as brother-in-law. When Chu Ge reached her, she asked in a low voice.

"Well, your sister and I had a bit of a misunderstanding. She's quite upset now, so... she changed the locks, and I can't get into the house."

"Oh my!"

Qin Ruoying exclaimed in shock, immediately realizing her voice was too loud. She quickly covered her mouth and blinked, asking quietly, "Brother-in-law, what exactly did you do? How did you get my sister so angry? Weren't you two inseparable before she came home?"

Chu Ge smiled bitterly, "It's just a misunderstanding, really, a misunderstanding."

Regarding the matter with Chu Shiyao, Chu Ge only wanted to explain it privately to Qin Ruojing. He didn't want Qin Ruoying to know because, firstly, it would be too complicated to explain, and secondly, he was truly worried that Qin Ruoying couldn't keep quiet about it.

"What kind of misunderstanding? Just tell me so we can come up with a story. When you face my sister later, I can help you talk about it."

The more Chu Ge hesitated to talk, the more Qin Ruoying pressed for answers. And since she was genuinely trying to help, Chu Ge found himself in a really awkward position.

"Xiaoying, please don't ask for now about what happened. It's not that your brother-in-law doesn't trust you, but this matter... how do I put it, it's really inconvenient to explain."

"What's so inconvenient to tell me?" Qin Ruoying frowned, clearly a bit displeased. "Brother-in-law, are you saying you still don't consider me your closest and dearest?"

Chu Ge smiled bitterly, shaking his head quickly, "No, really, I'm not."

Qin Ruoying stood up straight, looking directly into Chu Ge's eyes, "If you really don't think that way, then tell me. Whatever difficulty you have, or whatever burden you're carrying, I'll share it with you."

Hearing Qin Ruoying say this and unconsciously raise her voice, Chu Ge felt his head spinning. It was like one door was just put out of the fire, and the back door was already smoking.

Qin Ruoying seemed a bit defiant now. Her tone clearly indicated that if Chu Ge didn't tell her, she would assume he didn't consider her one of his own, unwilling to share with her the ups and downs of life.

As Chu Ge was caught in this dilemma, the door, which had remained closed despite his long wait, suddenly clicked open. Qin Ruojing came out, her expression calm, or perhaps expressionless, focusing her gaze on Qin Ruoying, "Xiaoying, you're back?"

Qin Ruoying was momentarily caught off guard, "Ah, sis, you're back too?"

Qin Ruojing smiled faintly and nodded, "Come on, let's go inside. We're already at the door, why stand outside?"

Although her voice was gentle, Chu Ge still felt a chill. Moreover, he noticed that Qin Ruojing's gaze was solely on Qin Ruoying, as if he, a living person, didn't exist at all.

Qin Ruoying glanced at Qin Ruojing, then turned to look at Chu Ge, her expression conflicted. Finally, she secretly kicked Chu Ge, signaling him to follow her, suggesting they talk about it at home. Then she walked towards the door.

Of course, Chu Ge understood her meaning and quickly followed Qin Ruoying. However, just as Qin Ruoying entered the house and he was only a few steps from the door, Qin Ruojing, who had been ignoring him all this while, stood blocking the entrance and shifted her indifferent gaze onto his face.

"Did I ever say you could come in?"

Chu Ge grinned, "Isn't this our home? If I don't come in, where would I go?"

Qin Ruojing sneered, "This is my home."

Without waiting for her words to finish, she slammed the door shut.

Unfortunately, even though Qin Ruojing moved quickly, she still wasn't as fast as Chu Ge. Just before the door closed, he dashed over, caught the door with his left hand, and scooped up that plastic bag full of groceries with his right hand.

"Are you crazy! What if you get your hand caught!"

Qin Ruojing was obviously startled. She had used all her strength to close the door, and her pupils contracted sharply as she blurted out instinctively.

Being snapped at by Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge felt a warmth in his heart. What is a wife? This is a wife! No matter how angry, she still cares about him from the bottom of her heart. That feeling... it's wonderful.

Chu Ge had a momentary lapse of judgement and smirked arrogantly, "Hehe, you know what kind of skills your husband has..."

Qin Ruojing's gaze turned cold, and Chu Ge immediately changed his tone, "Ahem, what I mean is, as long as it makes you happy, I don't mind if this hand gets crippled."

"If you have any shame, get out right now. I don't want to see you."

Qin Ruojing coldly threw out those words, turned around, and went inside. Chu Ge quickly followed, knowing that once inside, everything would be easier to talk about.

To think about saving face at this moment? What a joke! Does he look like the kind of cool, dominant CEO from a youth romance drama who acts tough but is actually fragile inside?

For the woman in front of him, Chu Ge could even risk his life. Besides, because of that misunderstanding, she must be feeling wronged and sad. In this situation, what's the use of saving face? To hell with it!

Swinging the door shut, Chu Ge placed the bag of groceries on the floor, took a few steps to catch up with Qin Ruojing, and grabbed her hand.

This sudden grab caught Qin Ruojing off guard, and she instinctively let out a scream, followed by an angry struggle.

"What are you doing! Let go!"

Having caught Qin Ruojing's hand, would Chu Ge let her go so easily?

Of course not!

Ignoring Qin Ruojing's struggles, he strode into their bedroom under Qin Ruoying's astonished gaze, using his heel to shut the door, and finally let go of Qin Ruojing's hand, scratching his head with a grin as he faced her furious look.

"Honey, I know you're really pissed right now. Honestly, seeing you this mad even makes me a bit happy..."

At this point, a pillow came flying over. Chu Ge instinctively wanted to catch it, but lowered his hand. Qin Ruojing needed to vent, so if she wanted to throw something, so be it. As long as it cooled her anger a little.

The pillow hit Chu Ge squarely in the face, and he stood his ground. As the pillow fell to the floor, his face remained fixed with that annoying yet signature grin.

He bent down to pick up the pillow, patted it twice, tossed it back on the bed, and continued to explain.

"Honey, even death row inmates are allowed to defend themselves. At least hear me out about Chu Shiyao, that girl. I promise to tell you everything, no holding back. We're really just good friends."

A pillow swooshed over again, landing once more on Chu Ge's face.

"Friends? Friends who sweetly hold hands in public? Who act so intimately with you? Who say such cheesy things that give people goosebumps?"

Chu Ge picked up the pillow again, maintaining his smile while Qin Ruojing's cold voice continued.

"Chu Ge, do you really think I'm that easy to fool? Do you think no one wants me, and that I won't be able to get married without you?"

"Kidding! With my wife's character, looks, and figure, she could drive any man crazy."

Chu Ge scratched his head and then shifted the focus, "But let's get back to the airport incident. It was just a misunderstanding. With Chu Shiyao, it was all just an act. I didn't expect it to go that far. Besides, you saw it too. I didn't let her touch me, I blocked with my hand, remember?"

Qin Ruojing snorted, pursed her lips tightly, and shifted her gaze away from Chu Ge, clearly signaling disbelief as if saying, "Go on, keep making up stories."

Seeing her expression made Chu Ge secretly happy. Qin Ruojing was quiet now, which clearly meant she was giving him the time and chance to speak.

If a man believes whatever a woman says, it's hard for him to escape singlehood. Chu Ge wasn't about to join that group. He wasn't so naive.

In a way, it's similar to when women say no but mean yes; it's uncanny. Of course, this wasn't the time to relax yet. The explanation was crucial, a single wrong sentence could lead to Qin Ruojing blowing up completely.

"Honey, back when I lived at Yipin Spring City, Chu Shiyao was my neighbor. We met when she moved in and got along well ever since. He Qing and I even helped her deal with some issues later..."

Qin Ruojing felt a headache coming. The issue with Chu Shiyao wasn't done yet, so why did He Qing suddenly get involved?
