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.

This was such a casual and natural question, so why hadn't she thought to ask it? She hadn't even considered helping Chu Ge at all.

Perhaps her feelings for Chu Ge were of unconditional trust and dependence, whereas her sister Qin Ruojing's feelings for him were more like mutual support and deep companionship?

Indeed, this… that is what being a true couple is all about!

Amid Qin Ruoying's contemplation, Chu Ge smiled and shook his head, "Oh, no need, you two can just sit in the car. I wouldn't let you lift a finger for such a small thing."

As Chu Ge finished speaking, he hesitated slightly, "Or perhaps... you two could take a stroll around the supermarket, see if there's anything missing at home, and just buy something back."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Qin Ruoying froze again, blinked, and thought to herself: "Brother-in-law is indeed someone considerate about daily life matters. Just by parking the car in front of a supermarket, he's already thinking about whether anything is needed at home. Why don't I have such awareness? The toilet paper at home is almost out, yet I wouldn't have thought of it if he hadn't mentioned it."

Thinking of this, Qin Ruoying felt a bit unsettled, but outwardly she chuckled, "Alright, then we'll go for a walk. By the way, we are running low on some condiments at home."

Saying this, Qin Ruoying pulled her sister out of the car, cheerfully heading like a little bird towards the supermarket. Watching Qin Ruoying's back, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel a bit speechless. Why was she so excited about going to the supermarket?

Isn't she tired anymore? Aren't her feet hurting?

In reality, Qin Ruoying wasn't happy at all; she was frustrated with her perceived character flaws.

Once the sisters entered the supermarket, Chu Ge got out of the car, squatted down by the car, and examined the tires one by one, seemingly finding nothing wrong.

To be cautious, Chu Ge went back into the car, moved it forward slightly to change the wheels' position a bit, and then checked the tires again.

This time, soon his brows furrowed tightly, and his narrowed eyes showed intense coldness.

His suspicion was correct! Someone had tampered with the left rear tire!

In the tire's gaps, there was a piece of scrap metal hidden. Though it seemed inconspicuous, it could cause the Ferrari to suddenly blow out due to tire pressure changes while driving!

Staring at the piece of scrap metal, Chu Ge felt anger, fear, relief, and caution.

Anger, due to the malicious intent; fear, because a blowout while driving could jeopardize the safety of Qin Family sisters and himself, no matter his skill.

If lucky, it might just be a scratch, if not, it could evolve into a severe accident where the three of them in the car might not survive to see the next day's sun.

He was relieved that such a tragedy hadn't occurred.

The caution came from the fact that he drove for several minutes before realizing something was amiss with the car, even though he might have been a bit absent-minded. His response was indeed slower compared to the past.

Staring at that piece of scrap metal, Chu Ge's gaze grew colder and colder. Who on earth did this?

Upon careful thought, several suspects came to mind, such as Li Zheming, those Koreans, Liu Dong of Tianjiao Group, Liu Dong's nephew Li Youcheng, Zhang Jinghui and his son Zhang Youze...

Even Stone Boss from the wedding photography place was suspicious. After all, it wasn't widely known that these days he and the Qin sisters were going to take wedding photos — only a few were aware of it.

Suddenly, Chu Ge remembered being tailed when they left the photo studio yesterday and what he overheard earlier about some people fighting here.

Could the fight have been to create chaos, to divert attention, allowing someone to 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.
