Chapter 787 - 786: Steel on the Tire
Chu Ge felt that he couldn't stay there any longer. The phone book incident from yesterday was still hanging over him, and he didn't know what Qin Ruojing thought. He definitely didn't want Qin Ruojing to know about him getting into a fight outside. That would really affect her mood, wouldn't it?Just then, an autumn breeze blew by, and a dark cloud drifted over from the distant horizon.
Chu Ge stretched lazily and stood up from the bench, "Hmm? Looks like it's going to rain, huh? Honey, let's head back before it starts pouring?"
"Brother-in-law, my foot still hurts, you know. Besides, it might not rain for a while. Can we sit a bit longer?"
Qin Ruoying pouted, looking pitifully up at Chu Ge, but her gaze darted towards the chatting girls across from them, clearly still focused on the conversation over there.
Chu Ge wiped a bead of sweat off his forehead; it was obvious that Qin Ruoying's sore foot was just an excuse. She really just wanted to hear more of those girls' conversation. She probably didn't catch everything earlier; otherwise, she'd likely be asking him about it by now.
Qin Ruojing also stood up and patted her sister on the shoulder, "Xiaoying, listen to your brother-in-law. Let's go home. It really looks like it's going to rain."
Qin Ruoying's face twisted into a pout, "Sis~~ We've got a car, so if it starts drizzling, we can leave just in time, right?"
Qin Ruojing was unmoved, "Your brother-in-law has been shooting photos for two days straight; he's pretty tired. Driving now would be risky, and if it rains, his vision might be impaired. You better not act all cute with me; it doesn't work on me."
"Tch, you two just bully me." Qin Ruoying pouted again, trying to appeal to emotion, "Sis, you used to dote on me so much. How come you forget your sister now that you have a husband? I'm so pitiful..."
Qin Ruojing chuckled, looking at Qin Ruoying with a teasing and sly expression, "I think it's more like you forgot your sister after getting a brother-in-law, didn't you? Last night..."
"Let's go, let's go, leaving right now."
Before Qin Ruojing could finish, Qin Ruoying was already in a dilemma, interrupting her sister, she suddenly stood up and strode towards the parking lot.
Qin Ruojing chuckled, giving Chu Ge a meaningful glance before elegantly following her steps.
After Qin Ruojing's glance, Chu Ge felt a bit more apprehensive. That look of hers was quite suspicious!
Qin Ruoying was the first to arrive beside the Ferrari, looking less conflicted. Her gaze again shifted towards the chatting girls, and her pretty face showed some reluctance.
When Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing approached, Qin Ruoying muttered again, "Sis, it seemed like those girls were saying something about 'Chu Master' just now, did you hear it?"
"You must have misheard. They were clearly saying 'Master Zhu'."
Qin Ruojing shook her head calmly, casting a subtle glance at Chu Ge, then opened the car door and got in.
"Master Zhu? Geez, and what about Junior Brother Sha? I clearly heard Chu Master!"
Qin Ruoying muttered as she got into the car, leaving Chu Ge standing by the car with a head full of frustration. If these two kept talking, he might just turn into Junior Brother Sha.
Recollecting Qin Ruojing's subtle glances, Chu Ge couldn't shake the feeling that she seemed to understand everything but simply chose not to speak.
As for why Qin Ruojing didn't say anything, Chu Ge couldn't quite figure it out, he just knew he seemed to be more and more firmly wrapped around Qin Ruojing's finger.
If he had to describe his current feelings towards Qin Ruojing in a few words, it'd most fittingly be... "A queen among women!"
Chu Ge himself didn't know why he thought this way, but he had this strong feeling.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Chu Ge started the car, reversed, turned, and got onto the road back home.
Halfway there, Chu Ge intentionally changed the topic, telling the two sisters a joke about a couple.
The joke went like this: the husband wanted to go out and play mahjong. He grabbed some money and headed out. His wife didn't really want him to go, as he'd been on a losing streak lately, always losing when he gambled and had been losing continuously for days.
The husband had already reached the door when the wife said from behind him, "Look, your luck's been really bad lately. Maybe you shouldn't go. Wouldn't it be better to spend the money on food and drinks? Losing money to others—what's the point when they don't appreciate your generosity?"
The husband heard his wife's words and asked, "What?"
The wife said, "I said, don't go play mahjong."
The husband asked again, "What did you say?"
The wife replied, "I said, don't go."
The husband asked once more, "What did you say, speak up I can't hear."
The wife got a bit angry, grumbled, "Are you pretending not to know? I said, don't! Go!"
The husband still asked, "Honey, I really didn't hear, what did you say?"
The wife finally lost it, "I'm saying, get lost!"
The husband nodded, "Oh, then I'll be off."
After Chu Ge finished his little story, both Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying laughed. Chu Ge couldn't tell whether Qin Ruoying had genuinely forgotten about what she'd overheard earlier or was just pretending, but in any case, she didn't ask about it again.
A few minutes after the car started moving, Chu Ge suddenly frowned, held his breath, and carefully observed the car's condition. He immediately tapped the brake and parked the Ferrari in front of a supermarket by the roadside.
"Huh? Brother-in-law, why did you stop the car?"
Qin Ruoying was puzzled and asked, glancing outside and noticing it was a supermarket, assuming Chu Ge wanted to buy something.
While Qin Ruoying was pondering, Chu Ge parked the car, turned around, and gave a slight smile to the two sisters in the back seat, "The car seems to have a minor issue. I'll get out to check it."
Qin Ruojing chuckled and nodded, "Hmm, do you need any help from us?"
Hearing Qin Ruojing say this, Qin Ruoying couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.
Although it was a trivial matter, it stirred something significant in her heart at this moment.o tamper with his car amidst the confusion?
Thinking of these matters, Chu Ge felt very agitated. He couldn't even ascertain whether the target of all of this was him, Qin Ruojing, or Qin Ruoying.
In any case, no matter what the opponent's intention, since it already severely threatened the life and safety of him and those around him, he definitely wouldn't let it slide!
With a sigh, while the Qin sisters were still inside, Chu Ge pulled out his key pouch, used a small nail file to pry out the scrap metal, then clamped the edge of it with tweezers, placed it in a small bag he couldn't remember when he bought, and finally tucked it into the inner tier of his hand bag.
