Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 900 - 899: She Is Herself, You Are You

Qin Ruoying obviously didn't expect Chu Ge to suddenly burst into laughter. Facing Chu Ge's signature smile, she asked with some confusion, "Hubby, what are you laughing at?"After waiting for two seconds without a response, Qin Ruoying pouted, "Why are you staring at me like that? What exactly are you laughing about?"

Chu Ge laughed even more brightly, deliberately teasing Qin Ruoying's curiosity. After about ten seconds, he confidently said, "Because what you said was funny, so I laughed."

"What's so funny? Am I wrong?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, "What's right about it? You and your sister already look exactly alike, why be upset about your differences in personality? Even though you're twins, she's her and you're you. You're not each other's shadows. If you were exactly alike even in personality, don't you think that would be really weird?"

"It does seem quite strange, but..."

"There's no 'but' about it. Stop mulling over these unnecessary things. Everyone in this world is unique. If you keep trying to become someone else, wouldn't you gradually feel like a stranger to yourself?"

Qin Ruoying blinked, "Then... don't you think my sister has a better personality? Considering you were initially hired by her to pretend as her boyfriend, but you ended up being together? I know you have many women around you, yet you chose to marry my sister."

Seeing Qin Ruoying's convincing expression, Chu Ge found it even more amusing. He helplessly raised his hand to rub his forehead.

"Are you really going to be stubborn about this? What is good, what is not? It's all just opinions from others. A hundred people might have a hundred different views. No one can please everyone. While you envy your sister, thinking she's better, do you know your sister often envies how carefree you live?"

"Huh? Really? My sister actually envies me sometimes? That can't be true, can it? She always likes to lecture me. I always feel like she sees me in a negative light, like I can't do anything right."

Chu Ge nodded without hesitation, "Of course, it's true. I think as long as you're not hurting others or being hurt, the more free-spirited you live, the better. So, stop overthinking. There's no standard answer to this kind of thing. The more you think about it, the more troublesome it becomes. Why waste your brain cells on it?"

Qin Ruoying thought for a moment, and her face returned to her usual genuine smile, "Makes sense, guess I was being silly. But, hubby, tell me honestly, do you like my sister more or me?"

Under Qin Ruoying's expectant gaze, Chu Ge responded with a question, "Do you like braised pork ribs more, or sweet and sour pork ribs?"

Qin Ruoying was stunned, a bit conflicted, "Seems... hard to choose."

Chu Ge shrugged, "There you go. I find it hard to choose too, so don't make it difficult for me. It's late, let's sleep."

After saying this, Chu Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief because, deep down, he actually had a clear answer about who he liked more.

Watching Chu Ge's retreating figure, Qin Ruoying smiled and caught up, holding his hand as they walked together into her bedroom.

That night, Chu Ge still didn't cross the final line. It wasn't that he couldn't, he just didn't want to.

After all, saving the best moment for the right time makes it even more exquisite.

Besides, they were going to have their wedding soon, so postponing such things until after the wedding was Chu Ge's way of respecting Qin Ruoying.

The next morning, Chu Ge gave Qin Ruojing a call to check in. Qin Ruojing had to stay in Kyoto for a few more days and would call Chu Ge when she knew the date of her return.

After finishing the call with Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge got up to make breakfast. Qin Ruoying lazed around, not wanting to move, so Chu Ge set up a small folding table on the bed and brought the prepared meal into the bedroom.

Seeing Chu Ge being so considerate, Qin Ruoying was delighted, her face blooming with a smile, and they fed each other breakfast.

Although Chu Ge wasn't used to eating in the bedroom, especially feeding each other like this, he spent little time with Qin Ruoying usually. Since they had this rare moment alone together, he didn't want to go against her wishes. He was willing to do whatever made her happy.

Plus, seeing Qin Ruoying happy made him genuinely happy too.

It took more than twenty minutes to finish a simple breakfast. Just as Chu Ge was about to clean up, Qin Ruoying happily tugged on his hand, "Hubby, let me do it."

Chu Ge smiled, "Do you feel like moving? If not, just rest."

Qin Ruoying smiled even more blissfully, "Honestly, I don't feel like it, but you've been busy all morning. I can't not do anything, right?"

"Wow, there are times when you're so thoughtful. I'm impressed!"

Chu Ge teased, and Qin Ruoying giggled, giving him a playful eye-roll. She hummed a children's song she taught at kindergarten and took the small table off the bed.

The sound of dishes being washed came from the kitchen at the same time Chu Ge's phone rang again, displaying an unfamiliar number.

Looking at the number, the smile on Chu Ge's face faded as he slightly furrowed his eyebrows.

"Hello?"

"Is this Xiao Chu? Haha, I'm not disturbing you, am I?"

As expected, the voice of the old Mr. Chu came through the receiver. Chu Ge felt even more solemn in his heart. As for this unfamiliar elder who had suddenly appeared in his life, he dared not be careless and wasn't sure if this Mr. Chu was a friend or a foe.

"No, thank you for yesterday, Mr. Chu. It's just... to get straight to the point, we are only passing acquaintances, and I don't really think you have a reason to trouble Director Yu to personally go to the detention center to help me."

"Haha... what if I say that from the last time you took a customer for a medical check-up at the hospital, I found you quite admirable and felt that you, young man, are very responsible? Do you think that counts as a reason?"

"Perhaps it does." Chu Ge paused, "But the premise is that, for you, getting a city police chief to run errands for you is nothing more than lifting a finger."

"Haha... talking with you is really interesting, Xiao Chu. Do you have time this afternoon? Let's sit down together for some tea and have a good chat?"

"I'm free anytime."

"Haha, unfortunately, I have a little something to do this morning. How about this, once I've finished what I'm doing, I'll call you in the afternoon."

"Alright."

Chu Ge agreed immediately, and the old Mr. Chu chuckled again before hanging up the phone.

The morning passed quickly. After Qin Ruoying washed the dishes and spent a little time with Chu Ge in the house, she tidied herself up and left for work at the kindergarten.

After seeing Qin Ruoying off, Chu Ge thought for a moment and made a call to Su Wei at the detention center.

Confirming that Su Wei was available, Chu Ge arranged to meet him shortly and then went downstairs.

Driving his Maserati, Chu Ge stopped by Da Runfa to buy shopping cards worth five thousand yuan, along with ten packs of Hongtashan cigarettes, and headed straight to the detention center where he met Su Wei in his office.

With no outsiders in the room, Su Wei warmly greeted Chu Ge upon seeing him, poured him a cup of tea, and then tentatively asked about what happened after Director Yu took him away yesterday.

Unfortunately, it wasn't that Chu Ge didn't want to tell him; it was just that Chu Ge himself knew very little about the ins and outs of the situation and had little to say.

However, when Chu Ge mentioned the few words exchanged between him and Yu Chuan, Su Wei was glad that Chu Ge spoke well of his detention center, significantly easing the slight disappointment he held.

After some small talk, as Chu Ge picked up the teacup while sitting on the sofa, he casually brought up one of his purposes for coming here today.

"By the way, Director Su, do you have a guard named Guo Qiang here? Do you know him?"

"We do have such a person here. Does Brother Chu know him?"

Chu Ge slightly raised the corners of his mouth, blew on the steaming tea, took a small sip, and placed the teacup on the coffee table with a soft "thunk."

"Haha, I'm not very familiar with him. It's just that when I came over yesterday, I had a brief encounter and bought a pack of cigarettes from him."

Hearing this, Su Wei immediately understood, secretly thinking Guo Qiang was indeed unfortunate. Chu Ge only stayed in the cell for such a short period yesterday, and Guo Qiang happened to sell cigarettes to him?

Actually, guards selling things to prisoners is not a fresh occurrence, or you could say it's an open secret, something everyone is aware of. Generally, guards don't undermine each other, and Su Wei turns a blind eye to it.

Feeling a bit sorry for Guo Qiang, on the surface, Su Wei adopted a stern expression, indignantly commenting, "What? There's actually such a thing? This is outrageous! Simply lawless! I will certainly handle this seriously!"

Chu Ge chuckled and waved his hand, "Director Su, calm down. Honestly, I can understand this matter."

Chu Ge observed Su Wei's expression, wanting to determine how close his relationship with this Guo Qiang was. If they were close, considering Su Wei's help yesterday, letting this matter go wouldn't be a big deal. But if the relationship wasn't close, he wouldn't be so lenient.

Su Wei was also gauging Chu Ge's thoughts, quickly making a judgment.

In Su Wei's view, Chu Ge wouldn't simply want to let the matter rest; otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it up voluntarily. Chu Ge was definitely trying to see his attitude by saying this.

On one hand, Su Wei wanted to befriend Chu Ge; on the other hand, no matter what, Guo Qiang was still one of his subordinates, which made things a bit difficult for him...
