Qin Ruojing actually appeared in Chu Ge's line of sight!
Judging from Qin Ruojing's current expression, even if she didn't witness Chu Shiyao coming to his side through the entire process, she at least had seen their actions just now very clearly and their conversation very clearly.
The torrential rain kept falling, hitting Qin Ruojing's head, face, and clothes, leaving mottled water stains in an instant, yet she seed oblivious to it, just standing there, locking eyes with Chu Ge.
There's no denying that this felt awful, as much for Chu Ge as for Qin Ruojing.
Sighing softly, Chu Ge widened his eyes with as much awkwardness as he could muster, saying a few words, "Xiao, Xiao Jing, you're on this flight too?"
It was undoubtedly a pointless statent, yet Chu Ge couldn't think of anything else to say at the mont.
Even if he had a thick skin, even if Chu Shiyao and he were just acting, he not only confessed those acting lines in public but also in front of his own wife, how could he not feel embarrassed?
Qin Ruojing's body trembled slightly, looking at Chu Ge with indifference, "Sir, I think you've mistaken for soone else."
After speaking, Qin Ruojing bent down to pick up the umbrella on the ground, gave Chu Ge a faint smile, and brushed past him, leaving without a trace, completely clean and swift.
At the instant they brushed past each other, Chu Ge really had the urge to grab Qin Ruojing's wrist and explain things properly.
But just as he was about to turn around, he looked at the distressed Chu Shiyao who had just sent him a signal for help, and felt the gaze from Chu Chengrui and those two bodyguards, eventually sighing quietly and suppressing the strong impulse.
Chu Shiyao might be in danger at the mont; he could clearly sense her fear and tension. Wasn't he the one who just assured her not to worry?
Moreover, if he were to chase after Qin Ruojing now, he wouldn't be able to clarify things in just a sentence or two, and it might even cause an unforeseen incident that he would never want to happen.
So, regardless of the perspective, for now, he should just assu he had mistaken soone for Qin Ruojing, let her leave, and find a suitable opportunity to explain things to her later, which seed to be the best choice.
Even though this choice was really damn hard!
Sighing quietly with frustration, Chu Ge watched Qin Ruojing's retreating figure in the rain out of the corner of his eye, smiled at Chu Shiyao, and then looked at Chu Chengrui, "Alright, we've got Yaoyao. Where are we heading now?"
Of course, Chu Ge wanted to be alone with Chu Shiyao to ask her what's really going on, but under the current circumstance, he obviously couldn't treat Chu Chengrui as if he wasn't there.
Chu Chengrui looked lovingly at Chu Shiyao, cautiously asking, "Yaoyao, I've bought a villa for you here; you must be tired from the flight, right? Why don't we go and have a look at your new house and have a good rest?"
Chu Shiyao responded with a cold sneer, "Ha… built a cage for in Beijing, set up one in Lido too? Can I say I don't want to go?"
"Yaoyao, what do I have to do to eliminate your prejudice against ? Did I even make a mistake buying a house for you?"
"I, don't, care." Chu Shiyao replied word by word, her face showing an even deeper sneer, "Besides, why don't you touch your conscience and think carefully if what I have towards you is prejudice? Now you want to treat well, where were you for the past twenty-so years? If you hadn't driven my parents away, they wouldn't have left so early…"
"Yaoyao, I…"
"Forget it, I'm not in the mood to argue with you. Let just ask, can I not go to the place you've arranged for ? I just want to be with Chu Ge, wherever he goes, I go. Is it okay, or not okay?"
Chu Chengrui sighed, "Alright, alright, I don't expect you to forgive imdiately, I just hope you can be happy. Whatever you want to do, do it. I have no objections."
"Ha! Then I really should thank you!" Chu Shiyao let out a sarcastic laugh and grabbed Chu Ge's hand, walking away.
Chu Ge gave Chu Chengrui a helpless smile but said nothing more, and walked towards his Maserati with Chu Shiyao.
Besides the two of them, the bodyguard who had co on the plane with Chu Shiyao also followed. Seeing this, Chu Shiyao stopped, looking coldly at the bodyguard, "Could you stop following ?"
The bodyguard shook his head calmly, "Miss, sorry, my duty is to ensure your safety, so please don't make it difficult for ."
Chu Shiyao turned her head towards Chu Chengrui, who had caught up with them, narrowing her eyes slightly, "I'm really bewildered by his actions. He's hired by you, so of course, my words won't work on him, but what's your intention?"
"Yaoyao, I understand how you feel, but I hope you can also consider my position a little, I'm also concerned about your safety."
Chu Shiyao snorted impatiently, "I don't want to argue with you about this. You know why you're doing this, and besides, with Chu Ge by my side, my safety is assured. Before you even found , he had already protected more than once."
Chu Chengrui hesitated for a mont, shaking his head, "Yaoyao, I've learned a bit about Chu Ge, and I also believe that he can ensure your safety, but don't forget that he has his own matters to attend to as well, he can't stay by your side all the ti."
"According to what you're saying, does that an whenever Chu Ge and I have deep conversations, he also needs to watch from the side? Let tell you, this is simply absurd."
Upon hearing Chu Shiyao say this, a few bystanders nearby couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Chu Ge's forehead imdiately lined with black, thinking this was indeed the Chu Shiyao he knew. When she exploded, her words were seriously sharp, completely disregarding the surrounding environnt.
Chu Chengrui's eye twitched twice, "Yaoyao, how can you... Oh! How about this, let's each take a step back, you must ensure that one of them is always by your side, that's my bottom line."
"Deal."
Chu Shiyao readily agreed without saying anything else, striding toward Chu Ge's Maserati.
"Little Chu, I'll be counting on you to look after our Yaoyao for now."
As they reached the car, Chu Chengrui reminded Chu Ge again, who smiled and nodded, and then drove away from the airport with Chu Shiyao in the rain. No sooner than they left, a black rcedes followed from behind.
Looking through the rearview mirror, Chu Shiyao watched the rcedes at a moderate distance, crossing her arms, stomping angrily, "Damn it, this cursed sticky rice cake is really driving crazy!"
Chu Ge chuckled, "Yaoyao, do you have so misunderstanding with your grandpa? Although I haven't interacted with him much, I feel he's really quite nice and genuinely cares about you."
Chu Shiyao huffed irritably, turned her head intending to say sothing, only to see Chu Ge subtly wave his hand at her, causing her to pause slightly.
"Chu Ge, seriously? What kind of tricks does he have up his sleeve for you to speak on his behalf like this?"
Chu Ge rolled his eyes, thinking, big sister, are you genuinely not understanding or pretending not to understand my gesture? Heaven knows you currently don't have any listening devices; it's probably inconvenient for us to chat freely, isn't it?
"Tricks or no tricks, why does everything sound so unpleasant when out of your mouth?"
Chu Ge winked at Chu Shiyao and slightly motioned toward the rearview mirror where the rcedes was clearly visible.
"I've heard so of your matters from him; I think while there might've been so mistakes made in the past, he's still your biological grandfather. You really shouldn't treat him like that."
Chu Shiyao huffed, winking back at Chu Ge, "Fine, I really don't want to talk about this, we've finally t again, can we change the subject?"
Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief; luckily, Chu Shiyao's natural shyness didn't co into play at this mont, or it would've been troubleso.
"Alright, alright, if you say don't ntion it, we won't. So, is there anywhere you want to go?"
"I just said earlier, wherever you go, I'll go too; your call."
Chu Ge pondered a little, thinking of a very suitable yet quite awkward place for a conversation.
But he couldn't focus on too much given the "SOS" signal Chu Shiyao conveyed to him; despite the place's awkwardness, at least it offers a chance to understand more about Chu Shiyao's situation, which is way better than wandering in confusion now.
"I know a good bathhouse, I've heard the private rooms there have great ambiance. I've never been there myself, so now that you've just landed, how about I take you there for a genuine welco and let you relax, sound good?"
Chu Ge's voice was sowhat sneaky, yet his facial expression was awkward, winking again at Chu Shiyao.
Chu Shiyao was initially startled, seemingly not catching Chu Ge's aning imdiately, but a good two or three seconds later, she realized what Chu Ge ant, her expression showing unspeakable dilemma.
Noticing Chu Shiyao's predicant, Chu Ge realized that this suggestion was indeed excessive for a girl; he raised his hand to scratch his head, saying, "If you're not in the mood, then we can…"
"Nonsense, who said I wasn't in the mood? You know how much I love being clean, I was actually planning to shower right after landing anyway, your suggestion is actually a surprise for ; Let's follow your plan and relax nicely."
Before Chu Ge could finish, Chu Shiyao interrupted him, her tone shy but her face showed a mix of embarrassnt and resolute decisiveness.
Chu Ge turned to look at Chu Shiyao, seeing her firmly nod, he chose not to say more, giving her an apologetic yet helpless smile.
After locking eyes with Chu Ge for a second, Chu Shiyao took a deep breath and rested back in the seat, "Darling, I'll nap for a while, flying was a bit tiring, call when we arrive?"
"Alright."
