Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 917 - 916: Go with Him

Chu Shiyao looked at Chu Ge pleadingly, "Elder Brother Chu, please don't comfort me anymore. I know this is all my fault. Just let me call sister-in-law, okay?"Chu Ge shook his head. "There's really no need. Let's talk about your situation instead."

"But..."

Before Chu Shiyao could finish, Chu Ge interrupted her, "Alright, fasten your seatbelt. We've stayed here too long. If we don't leave now, that tag-along of yours will come to bother us again. Let's talk on the way."

After a few more pleas, Chu Ge remained firm about not allowing her to make the call. She sighed and had to give up.

Chu Ge had his own considerations for not needing Chu Shiyao to help explain.

First, he was worried Chu Shiyao might make things worse, and second, even if they used his phone to call, Qin Ruojing probably wouldn't answer. He also couldn't guarantee that Chu Shiyao's phone wouldn't have issues. It's better to be cautious about everything.

Diverting from this topic, Chu Ge inquired about Chu Chengrui, but unfortunately, Chu Shiyao didn't have any new information. If you had to say what Chu Chengrui expected from her, it was simply that she be happy.

Chu Ge drove while he and Chu Shiyao exchanged opinions on the matter, both puzzled without a clue.

If one were to say Chu Chengrui had ulterior motives with Chu Shiyao, well, he was her biological grandfather, and he cared for her greatly and cherished her.

If one were to say that Chu Chengrui just purely wanted to be good to her, then his so-called ensuring her safety, monitoring her every move, was undeniably quite over the top.

Thinking over many possibilities, Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao still couldn't make any sense of it. For the time being, they could only continue navigating the clouds and fog as they took it one step at a time.

Although there wasn't much progress, the two spent the whole day together, one not wanting to return under Chu Chengrui's watchful eye, and the other in an extremely low mood. In a sense, they were companions, comforting each other.

They had lunch together and then spent the afternoon drinking at the "Lido 2" bar.

Worried that Chu Shiyao might get talkative if she drank too much, Chu Ge only let her have some juice, while he drank to his heart's content.

He didn't know exactly how much he drank. He just kept drinking bottle after bottle, as time passed, the table was littered with empty bottles, and he was now somewhat drunk.

Drinking wouldn't change anything; Chu Ge knew that, but he wasn't someone who lived purely by reason. He was really troubled now. Whether self-deception or occasional indulgence, he just wanted to temporarily forget those things that gave him a headache.

Even so, he still maintained a degree of control and didn't drink himself into a complete stupor.

While drinking, anyone would have thought he didn't seem like someone drinking alone in depression. He kept talking and laughing with Chu Shiyao, unusually exuberant, as if he was very happy.

However, seeing Chu Ge's smile, it made Chu Shiyao feel a kind of heartache she couldn't explain. Even without thinking too hard, she knew that Chu Ge couldn't possibly be truly happy right now.

Though usually carefree, Chu Shiyao at this moment could clearly feel the frustration hidden in Chu Ge's slightly raised lips, the desolation in his hearty laughter. Even in venting, he was strong like that. Why go through this? Why bother? Sigh...

As the sun set, Chu Shiyao settled the bill and supported the slightly unsteady Chu Ge out of the bar.

Chu Ge actually wanted to walk on his own. He had only drunk a little, and it wasn't like he couldn't walk, so why let a woman support him?

Yet Chu Shiyao held his hand all along, more persistent than his will.

Oh well... if she wanted to support him, she could. Chu Ge tilted his head back and exhaled the smell of alcohol, looking at the blood-red setting sun while rubbing his forehead. He was indeed a bit tired. Having someone to support him and be with him was actually quite nice.

After taking just a few steps with Chu Ge in tow, Wu Qing, who had long since grown impatient, caught up with them, "Miss, we should be going back."

Chu Shiyao glanced coldly at Wu Qing, "Go back? I'm currently with my husband. It's not your place to meddle, is it?"

"Miss, Mr. Chu has had too much to drink. I doubt he can guarantee your safety, let alone drive, don't you think?"

Chu Shiyao frowned, about to retort, when Chu Ge straightened up, pushing away the hand she had entwined around his arm. He let out a chuckle through his nose.

This faint sound startled Wu Qing, who instinctively took a step back, full of caution in his expression.

"Yaoyao, he's right. I can't do anything right now. You should go with him."

Chu Ge pinched the bridge of his nose, smiled wryly, and waved goodbye to Chu Shiyao.

He still couldn't understand why Qin Ruojing suddenly said those words, or what kind of game Chu Chengrui was playing. He really felt like a failure, an unprecedented failure.

Looking at Chu Ge like this, Chu Shiyao felt a wave of heartache, she could certainly understand the underlying meaning of Chu Ge's words, and she felt even more apologetic for her rash behavior at the airport.

"My dear, don't say that, no matter when, you are the most outstanding man in the world."

Chu Ge was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter, "Since when has our Yaoyao become so good at flattering people? You're praising me so much it's going to my head. Alright, let's go, let's go, you don't need to bother about me."

"I'm not leaving, and I'm not flattering you, you are the most outstanding man in the world! The most trustworthy man!"

Chu Shiyao's eyes were filled with stubbornness, and Chu Ge touched his nose and laughed heartily, "Alright Yaoyao, enough with the fuss, go with Wu Qing."

The more Chu Ge smiled, the more Chu Shiyao felt troubled inside, she tightly grabbed Chu Ge's hand again, "In any case, I'm not leaving, wherever you go, I'll go."

"Miss, since Mr. Chu has already said so, you should..."

"Stay out of it, don't bother me here, don't say he wasn't really drunk, even if he were, he's a million times better than you, with him around, you don't need to worry about my safety!"

Being snubbed like that by Chu Shiyao, Wu Qing's eye twitched, "Miss, although I understand your sentiment, I'm sorry, I do not agree with you, I'm still saying, I really don't think Mr. Chu, in his current state, could protect you."

"You don't think so? Who are you to say? You think he's not capable just because you say so? Have you forgotten about being beaten up by him yesterday? Do you even realize why you're wearing the mask on your face?"

Recalling the incident mentioned by Chu Shiyao, Wu Qing's face turned uglier, even through the mask, the twitching of his facial muscles was evident.

He gritted his teeth hard, and suddenly a thought popped into his mind, a brilliant idea that would let him regain his pride, and he couldn't help but secretly sneer.

"Miss, I admit Mr. Chu, when sober, possesses a bit more strength than me, but do you think he can still manage such feats now?"

Wu Qing's repeated and uncompromising stance completely angered Chu Shiyao. Her eyes widened, and she sneered, "Of course! I have no doubt! Our Chu Ge can take you down with just one hand!"

Upon hearing Chu Shiyao's words, a gleam flashed in Wu Qing's eyes, this was the exact sentence he was waiting for from Chu Shiyao!

Noticing the change in Wu Qing's expression, Chu Shiyao suddenly realized she might have been set up, and her heart was filled with regret.

Chu Ge was swaying even while standing, how could he possibly be Wu Qing's match? She had really let her emotions make her speak recklessly, what nonsense had she uttered?

"Well then! Mr. Chu, since our miss said so, how about we have a spar again?"

As Chu Shiyao felt a huge wave of self-blame and regret, Wu Qing turned to look at Chu Ge with a predatory look, full of malice and smugness.

With Wu Qing's aggressive questioning, Chu Ge scratched his head, his smile growing even more brilliant, he was about to readily agree when suddenly he felt somewhat disinterested.

Is there any point in arguing with someone like this? Could it bring Qin Ruojing back to him? Forget it, this thing not only lacks meaning but is also senseless.

Meeting Wu Qing's satisfied gaze, Chu Ge sighed softly, shook his head, and said, "There's no need for that, you should take Yaoyao away."

"Heh... Mr. Chu, I just wanted to seek some more guidance from you, there's no need to be so unsympathetic, right? I know what our Miss just said was just in anger, of course, I won't take it seriously, you can use both hands, how about it?"

Seeing Chu Ge refuse, Wu Qing grew even more smug. Clearly this guy was scared! If he didn't take this chance to taunt Chu Ge a couple of times, it would just be a waste of this opportunity!

"Wu Qing, isn't that enough for you? Our Chu Ge doesn't want to bother with you, can't you stop being so boring?"

Wu Qing smiled faintly, "Miss, it's not that I'm being tedious, at the end of the day, it's about proving whether Mr. Chu can still protect you, right? If Mr. Chu can defeat me now, I absolutely wouldn't trouble you again, please try to understand."

"You..."

Chu Ge was starting to get annoyed. Initially, he didn't want to interact with Wu Qing, but now that Wu Qing was pushing his buttons, he changed his mind, yawned, and then showed a helpless smile.

"Alright, Yaoyao, since Wu Qing is so responsible for you, I'll spar with him again."

Wu Qing was overjoyed, inwardly cursing "fool," already envisioning the pleasurable scene of justifiably beating Chu Ge fiercely.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu, for understanding, then should we pick a suitable place?"

Chu Ge hiccupped, shaking his head with bleary eyes, "No need for all that trouble, we can just do it here, as you said, with only one hand. You may start."
