After speaking, Qin Ruojing walked toward the door of the private room.
Watching Qin Ruojing's back, Chu Ge felt a headache coming on. They say having a guilty conscience makes you nervous, but he hadn't done anything wrong, had he? If Qin Ruojing got mad at him, wouldn't that be too unjust?
Despite the headache, Qin Ruojing had already left, and his pants were soaked. He couldn't just stay here pretending nothing had happened, could he?
With a silent sigh, Chu Ge had no choice but to endure the stares from everyone in the private room and reluctantly follow Qin Ruojing.
Chu Ge exited the private room and closed the door, watching as Qin Ruojing stopped a few ters away. Unfortunately, not even his eyes could detect what she was thinking from her profile. He couldn't help but wonder what she would say to him.
Even when he stood in front of Qin Ruojing, she didn't speak right away. Instead, she took an Audi A8 car key from her bag and handed it to him.
Chu Ge was a bit confused and didn't take the key. He really didn't understand what Qin Ruojing ant. Was she leaving all those people behind and heading ho?
"Go change your clothes; there are clothes for you in the trunk." Just as Chu Ge was thinking this, Qin Ruojing finally spoke, saying sothing that completely caught him off guard.
Chu Ge blinked blankly, saying nothing and not taking the car key from Qin Ruojing, utterly baffled.
Qin Ruojing gave a helpless smile and grabbed Chu Ge's right hand, placing the car key into it. "Are you planning to continue attending the victory party like this? Your legs are all wet; aren't you uncomfortable?"
"Huh?" Chu Ge tilted his head, gazing at Qin Ruojing, who seed amused and showed no intention of questioning him. His expression grew even more peculiar.
"Huh, what? Go already!" Qin Ruojing closed the fingers of Chu Ge's right hand around the key and turned back toward the private room.
Chu Ge scratched his head, watching Qin Ruojing return to the private room. He looked at the car key in his hand, his feelings hard to describe.
"A woman's heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea" is indeed a truth. What on earth could she be thinking?
Shaking his head helplessly, Chu Ge, filled with questions, finally walked out of the leisure club and headed to the parking lot beside Qin Ruojing's Audi A8.
Opening the trunk, he indeed found a set of his clothes: a shirt, a suit, a belt, and shoes, even socks.
Looking at this outfit, Chu Ge felt a warmth in his heart. It was surprising enough that Qin Ruojing had prepared clothes for him in the trunk. He never dread she would go to such lengths to ensure everything was complete.
The only thing missing was underwear. After all, he wore two layers: both the outer and inner pants. Since the outer ones were wet, of course, the inner ones weren't spared.
Taking the clothes into the car, Chu Ge stripped down to his underwear. Since he was changing, he might as well switch everything.
While waiting for his underwear to dry, Chu Ge pondered over Qin Ruojing's earlier reaction. However, even after they were almost dry, he couldn't figure it out.
Dressed in the clothes Qin Ruojing had prepared, Chu Ge got out of the car, but he didn't imdiately return to the victory party. Instead, he leaned against the car and lit a cigarette, taking in the tranquil scenery without the city's clamor, calming himself amidst the slightly complicated feelings of seeing these won simultaneously.
This place seed not too far from Chen Jue's fish pond?
Out of nowhere, this thought popped into Chu Ge's mind. He had been considering Chen Jue as a backup plan for the board's reshuffle, but thinking about Qin Ruojing's reaction to Long Kun's appearance, Chu Ge decided to let it go.
Everyone has their way of dealing with things. Even if he and Qin Ruojing often struggled to agree on certain matters, he didn't believe it was necessarily about right or wrong.
Now that he and Qin Ruojing were a couple, he wanted to try to understand and respect Qin Ruojing's views. Even if he still felt his way of solving problems was more direct and effective.
But thinking it over, Chu Ge relaxed. Ordinary people should have ordinary, or perhaps relatively softer, principles for dealing with affairs.
In truth, even in the past, he couldn't guarantee that everything he did would be without consequences or seamless.
The future is ant to be full of uncertainty, isn't it?
Chu Ge curved his lips into a relaxed smile, took a drag of his cigarette before tossing it to the ground, and crushed it with his foot.
He had intended to return directly to Qiushi Hall, but after so thought, Chu Ge felt it might be wiser to first see what the atmosphere inside was like. He wondered if the earlier little incident had left the celebration at a standstill.
Probably... not, right? Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan are still there, and they are both experts at keeping the atmosphere lively.
With this thought in mind, Chu Ge still followed the naturally styled mottled stone path, along the outer edge of the leisure club, hugging the wall, and walked towards the window of Qiushi Hall.
As he passed by a private room, Chu Ge noticed the curtain there was drawn; from the outside, it seed like this was the only room on the floor with the curtains closed.
However, Chu Ge only instinctively glanced at the window of this private room and didn't pay much attention, continuing to move forward a few more windows until he reached the window of Qiushi Hall.
Looking inside, the atmosphere seed good enough; everyone was eating, drinking, chatting, and laughing, all very lively.
However, everyone's gaze would occasionally, covertly sweep over the three won, Qin Ruojing, Luo Suyun, and Mo Xiaoran, with an unexpressed suspicion hidden deep in their eyes.
Chu Ge smiled wryly; it seed that when he returned, he would also have to bask in this kind of attention, but he couldn't just stop interacting with these people. If he didn't go back, it would make him seem even guiltier.
After watching outside for a while, Chu Ge gradually realized a problem: Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were no longer in the room?
At first, when he noticed this, Chu Ge thought they might have gone to the restroom, but he had been watching for a long ti now, and they hadn't appeared; this seed a bit odd.
Did they leave first? That couldn't be, right? They didn't drive here, and this place is so far from the city center, it's not convenient to catch a taxi, right?
According to Tong Yaqi's arrangents, everyone would stay here tonight as the next day was also a holiday, giving everyone a chance to enjoy themselves fully.
"Perhaps... the incident earlier affected their mood, and they left while I was airing my underwear and not paying attention? If that unexpected incident hadn't happened, they might have found a chance to offer a toast?"
Chu Ge guessed with so helplessness and walked along the sa path back toward the entrance of the leisure club, but when he reached the window with the drawn curtain, he suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice.
Although the sound was almost inaudible due to the barrier of the window, Chu Ge suspected he might have misheard, but he still frowned slightly, stopped, and concentrated his attention.
anwhile, inside the Qiuyue Hall of the leisure club.
Inside the room, there were five n and three won. Besides two burly n standing, the other six people sat around a round table, the n dressed ticulously and the won fashionably.
Of the three n, one was Chen Jue, another Chen Yujie, and the third was a man around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, with a slightly handso face, shrewd and smooth in appearance, with a 3-7 parted hairstyle.
Among the three won, one sat beside the parted-hair man, while the other two sat opposite Chen Jue and Chen Yujie.
These two won were the ones who should have been inside the Qiushi Hall participating in the celebration banquet, naly Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan.
In fact, Chen Jiatong received a call from Chen Jue at noon today, inviting her and Xu Jingyuan to dinner here tonight; their presence here was not a coincidence.
If Tong Yaqi hadn't arranged the celebration party at this location, Chen Jiatong might have politely declined.
But since it coincidentally matched the ti and place of Chen Jue's invitation, Chen Jiatong didn't refuse outright, saying she would see how things went at the ti.
After all, when Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were still doing online hosting and had so fa in Lidu, they had already interacted with Chen Jue, helping him entertain so business friends and host so events.
Of course, they were sowhat aware of Chen Jue's power, understanding that they were insignificant in his eyes, and if Chen Jue wanted to do sothing to them, they couldn't resist at all.
However, they were fortunate that during their few interactions with Chen Jue, he had treated them courteously and hadn't made any inappropriate moves toward them. Instead, he behaved like a gentleman, being quite generous with rewards.
Even so, they were still very afraid of Chen Jue, perhaps due to a woman's natural intuition; beneath his seemingly gentle and warm smile, they sensed sothing that made their hearts race, sothing very dangerous.
Therefore, after receiving Chen Jue's call and giving a vague response, Chen Jiatong imdiately discussed it with Xu Jingyuan, and they both agreed to see how things went at the ti.
Even when they followed the group from Tianqing Company to this Green Garden Ecological Resort, knowing that Chen Jue would also be coming later, they were still very hesitant in their hearts.
However, when they witnessed firsthand at the celebration party how popular Chu Ge was with won, especially when Hao Jun accidentally spilled drinks on Chu Ge's pants, and unexpectedly Qin Ruojing, Luo Suyun, and Mo Xiaoran all went to help him clean up, they felt increasingly uncomfortable staying in Qiushi Hall.
Checking the ti and knowing Chen Jue should almost be there, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan discussed it for a mont and eventually decided to co over, thinking that since Chen Jue hadn't done anything to them before, this ti shouldn't be an exception either.
