Though Luo Suyun was indeed beautiful, Chu Ge felt nothing but extre awkwardness at this mont, completely uninterested in appreciating her looks, just wanting to part ways with her as soon as possible.
After all, the number of people who knew Qin Ruojing in Lidu City wasn't small. If soone saw this scene, it could get passed around and end up reaching Qin Ruoying's ears, who was about to arrive in Lidu. If she discovered anything, then all the acting between him and Qin Ruojing would be for nothing.
He originally intended to nod and say he was picking up his girlfriend, but perhaps because he had a nice chat with Luo Suyun the last ti, he was sowhat looking forward to sothing happening with her again. As the words reached his mouth, a sudden impulse turned them into "I'm picking up a leader; she's arriving a little after three."
Luo Suyun smiled gently and nodded, "A little after three? Then I'm in no hurry to leave. Won't you invite into the car to sit for a while?"
After saying that, without waiting for Chu Ge to respond, Luo Suyun opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
Chu Ge broke into a sweat and imdiately felt a bit of regret. It would've been better to go along with what Luo Suyun was saying. Why did he have to ntion picking up a leader? But... but you can't really bla him for this, can you?
Under normal circumstances, if soone heard he was picking up a leader, they would instantly leave accommodatingly. He really didn't expect Luo Suyun to just get in the car so casually!
When Luo Suyun got into the car, Chu Ge thought to himself in speechless exasperation, "This lady really doesn't follow the usual path!" Quickly, he closed the car window.
Seeing Chu Ge closing the window, Luo Suyun smiled, tapped him lightly on the forehead, and said with a smile, "Why are you closing the window? The weather is so hot; it's great to get so cross-ventilation. I was actually going to ask you to open the window on my side too."
"No, Luo Jie, I thought you looked pretty hot, so I wanted to let you enjoy the air conditioning and cool down a bit."
Chu Ge quickly explained, and Luo Suyun chuckled, "Well, I really have to thank you. This weather is indeed hot, and air conditioning is definitely more comfortable than a cross breeze. I misjudged you; you're really considerate."
Chu Ge felt a wave of frustration in his heart, thinking, sister, please just leave quickly.
After getting so air from the car's air conditioning, Luo Suyun felt a little cooler and turned her head to Chu Ge with a smile.
"I say, handso guy, last ti you just ran off. Now shouldn't you explain what was so urgent? Hmm... Also, shouldn't you give your phone number?"
Chu Ge felt a headache, thinking, sister, please stop ssing around, besides... actually, my phone number is already with your daughter, do I really need to give it to you?
If you just ask your daughter, she knows everything. I'm actually way more familiar with your daughter than with you. I'm the "uncle" she often talks about, the one you're always gnashing your teeth over!
Of course, regarding the phone number, Chu Ge hoped that Luo Suyun would never have his phone number, and they would best not be in contact in the future, just pretend that they've never t.
Just as he was about to find an excuse to pass off the situation, his phone suddenly rang.
He initially thought it was a call to help him out, but when he saw the number, he felt even more overwheld. The call was actually from Shu Lulu, wasn't this just adding fuel to the fire?
Fortunately, Luo Suyun did not see his phone screen, otherwise, he would be even more speechless.
He directly hung up the call, took a breath, and said, "Luo Jie, well, last ti I suddenly had sothing co up, I..."
Before he could finish a sentence, Chu Ge's phone rang again. A glance showed that it was still Shu Lulu calling, so he had to hang up again.
Seeing that Chu Ge had hung up the phone twice in a row, Luo Suyun assud it was because she was there that Chu Ge found it inconvenient to answer. She knew that he was there to pick soone up, and with ti so pressing, even if she wanted to do sothing with Chu Ge, it was obviously too late. Then she took out a pen and a note from her bag, wrote down a phone number, and stuffed it into Chu Ge's hand.
anwhile, Chu Ge's phone rang again relentlessly, and Chu Ge was practically sweating bullets. What on earth was Shu Lulu trying to do?
"Handso guy, I won't delay you from picking up people. Call when you have ti, okay?"
As another call ca in, Luo Suyun chuckled, tapped Chu Ge on the forehead again, then pushed open the car door and left.
Watching Luo Suyun's back, Chu Ge finally let out a long breath and finally answered Shu Lulu's call.
"Uncle, my mom's back. Do you have ti tonight?"
On the other end of the line, Shu Lulu's voice sounded indescribably depressed. She thought her mom would be gone for a long ti, but she didn't expect her mom to co back so soon, and nothing had happened between her and Chu Ge yet.
"No, I'm busy tonight and won't be ho. Since your mom's back, it's just right for you to stay at your own place. Give the keys to He Qing or Chu Shiyao, either is fine. I have things to do, so I won't talk to you now. Hanging up."
Chu Ge, conflicted, hung up the call, imdiately picked up any hairs from the passenger seat where Luo Suyun had been sitting, and opened the window. He didn't want Qin Ruoying to sll anything that didn't belong to her sister.
From this incident with Luo Suyun alone, it seed that Qin Ruoying's arrival was quite tily, as it helped him resolve a headache-inducing problem.
After checking repeatedly several tis, Chu Ge confird that there wasn't a single strand of Luo Suyun's hair left in the car. Only then did he lean back in the seat, light up a cigarette, letting the smoke cover up Luo Suyun's scent in the air. He pinched his brow, feeling utterly bemused.
Once he finished the cigarette, Chu Ge waited for a little while longer. Soon, a figure almost identical to Qin Ruojing appeared in his view. He got out of the car and walked toward Qin Ruoying.
Qin Ruoying was dressed in a very cool casual outfit: a white T-shirt, jeans, and a backpack. Her smile was brighter than the sunlight, and her steps were light and quick, looking just like a college girl on a trip.
"Brother-in-law!"
Upon seeing Chu Ge, Qin Ruoying waved at him with a smile, drawing envious glances from the n who were on the sa flight as her.
The relationship between a brother-in-law and his sister-in-law always stirs the imagination.
Standing beside Qin Ruoying, Chu Ge took her backpack off her shoulder, and said with a helpless smile, "Oh, it's rare for your sister and I to enjoy a few days of just the two of us, we haven't had enough of it yet, and here you co to stir things up."
Seeing Chu Ge's helpless expression, Qin Ruoying pouted and gave him a playful punch, "Brother-in-law, how can you be so heartless? I've co all this way, and you're not even welcoming ? I miss you so much, if I knew you'd be like this, I wouldn't have co all the way here."
Chu Ge grinned, "It's not too late to regret it now, how about I help you book a ticket back to Kyoto?"
Qin Ruoying felt even more speechless, usually, under such circumstances, a person should coax and say a few nice words, right? But Chu Ge, he genuinely didn't care at all.
Fuming, Qin Ruoying huffed, "Brother-in-law, you're so bad, just wait and see how I'm going to ss with you tonight."
Chu Ge paused in his tracks, sweating a bit. The people nearby who heard Qin Ruoying's words were also taken aback, then looked at Chu Ge with more envious and ambiguous eyes.
Placing Qin Ruoying's bag on the back seat, Chu Ge started the car and asked with a resigned laugh, "Xiaoying, how do you plan on ssing with tonight?"
"Of course, I'll make you cook a big table of dishes to satisfy my cravings. I've been craving your cooking like crazy, what else did you think?"
Qin Ruoying replied as if it were only natural, with a sly, mischievous grin on her face, clearly having deliberately embarrassed Chu Ge, making others misunderstand.
Chu Ge shook his head speechlessly. His sister-in-law really was a quirky and clever woman.
After leaving the airport, Chu Ge drove the car straight back to the Huafu Garden District, and together with Qin Ruoying, they carried a bunch of fresh groceries bought along the way upstairs.
After putting down all the stuff, Qin Ruoying washed her hands and went into the bedroom. anwhile, Chu Ge called Qin Ruojing to inform her that Qin Ruoying had been picked up. The call had barely ended when Qin Ruojing called him back.
"Chu Ge, make a few more dishes tonight, pick your best ones. I want to invite He Qing over for dinner. I just called her, and she agreed."
Hearing Qin Ruojing say this, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel a bit speechless. He had co to Qin Ruojing's ho, and still, He Qing managed to find a way to enjoy his cooking.
Despite feeling speechless, Chu Ge didn't say much and agreed right away.
He initially planned to give Qin Ruoying a good welco feast and wanted to eat well himself, adding He Qing would just an one more pair of chopsticks.
Besides, cooking is a hobby for him anyway, no matter how many plates and bowls there are, he doesn't have to wash them.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Ge drank so water on the sofa, lit another cigarette, and while smoking, took the ingredients he was preparing to cook that night into the kitchen.
After finishing his cigarette, Qin Ruoying changed into a loose, light pink loungewear outfit, with a bag of potato chips in her hand, erging from the bedroom.
"Brother-in-law, was it my sister calling again?" She pulled a chair over, sat not far behind Chu Ge, crossed her legs, her little feet dangling off her slippers, eating potato chips while asking.
"Yeah."
"What for? To remind you not to slip up in front of ? To pretend to be a loving couple?"
Chu Ge turned back to look at Qin Ruoying with a laugh, "I was wondering why you ca over again. We are genuinely loving and harmonious; there's really no need to pretend, okay? Your sister called to say there's a guest coming over for dinner and to make the dishes more sumptuous."
Qin Ruoying put on an unbelieving face, pouted, and said, "Yeah right, I'll eventually expose you two just so my parents can hassle my sister again. I've been nearly tornted crazy by mom at ho these days."
Feeling frustrated, Qin Ruoying rubbed her forehead, got off the chair, fed Chu Ge a chip, and asked, "Sigh! Let's not talk about that. So, you said there's a guest coming? Who is it?"
Chu Ge opened his mouth to accept the chip Qin Ruoying offered, crunching it in his mouth, and mumbled, "The most beautiful woman in China."
