If you want to kiss, then kiss; if you want to eat fruit, then eat fruit. Why do you have to be so lewd, doing both at the same time?
"So sweet~" That thought that had been in her mind just now came out of another mouth.
"Nonsense, I've already tried it." Chaoge rolled her eyes at her.
Just as she was about to explode, a certain general, who had already mastered her temper perfectly, swiftly peeled a second one and brought it to her lips—
Then we saw Chaoge covering her mouth with one hand, quickly moving her cheeks to bite and swallow the fruit.
Qin Muge watched all this and found it incredibly cute.
"Don't come any closer, I'm not eating anymore!" After discovering for the first time that eating fruit was also a high-risk activity, Chaoge reached out to stop someone from feeding her.
Qin Muge changed the direction of the hand that was being held in mid-air, ate the freshly peeled fruit in his hand, and then took a tissue to wipe his hands.
"Perfect, I'm too lazy to peel them anyway."
Just as Chaoge breathed a sigh of relief, the person who had wiped her hands clean reached out and pulled her into his arms.
The man, still dazzlingly handsome even in his white military uniform, looked down at her with his eyes lowered. The two were very close, their breaths mingling, creating an ambiguous atmosphere that silently permeated the surrounding air, enveloping the two people in the middle.
With a chuckle, Qin Muge's slightly hoarse voice, lowered because of his husky tone, rang out in front of her:
"Then instead of fruit, how about eating me?"

Chapter 101: The Second Form of Daily Dog Torture
The answer is, of course, not very good.
Chaoge was already immune to her level of flirting. He glanced at her sideways, suddenly smiled, and beckoned her closer.
Qin Muge raised an eyebrow, instantly seeing through Chaoge's complete lack of intention to cooperate. By remaining completely still, she was clearly conveying the childish message, "If you won't cooperate with me, then I won't either."
Ying had complained about Chaoge and Yaochen's lack of chemistry, saying that they could not only look at each other but also communicate with expressions... But if she knew the truth, she would know that Chaoge and Qin Muge were the ones who could truly communicate with just their eyes.
After thinking for a moment, Chaoge moved over first, turning her body so that she was no longer leaning against the sofa but resting her head on her lap. From beginning to end, Qin Muge didn't move much, letting her entertain herself.
He reached out and gently smoothed her long hair. Looking down at the person who rarely took the initiative to approach him, Qin Muge chuckled and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
When she tries to escape from him, Qin Muge only wants to use every means to keep her by his side.
But when Chaoge takes the initiative to show weakness, just like when they first met, her heart melts instantly, all her unease and repression are soothed in an instant, and she just wants this peaceful moment to last a little longer.
"Let me ask you a question." Chaoge wasn't the type to stubbornly try to solve things she couldn't handle. Besides, even after meeting so many people and experiencing so many things, she still felt a chill run down her spine after hearing more of this person's story.
"If there is such a person who betrays her own love, betrays her country, and is even willing to use herself and her child as bargaining chips to exchange with others, what is she ultimately after?" To become a king or a tyrant?
Thinking of that last possibility, Chaoge carefully examined Qin Muge's face again, pondered the man's methods, and felt that the man didn't seem to pose any threat to the guy in front of her.
That makes it even more puzzling. What is she after?
"Just wanting to take revenge on society, right?" Qin Muge answered without hesitation.
Chaoge was taken aback, and for a moment felt that the general's assessment made a lot of sense, leaving him speechless.
Seeing the bewildered look on her face as her train of thought was interrupted, Qin Muge felt quite pleased. He changed the object of his hand that was stroking her hair and poked her cheek, smiling as he reminded her, "Baby, if you want to deal with an enemy, her story is just to help you judge whether she has any bottom line. You don't need to understand her thoughts."
"Anyway, I don't understand it now, so I'll listen to you." Chaoge lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on the armrest of the sofa, her long, straight eyelashes obscuring the complex emotions in her eyes.
Qin Muge nodded in satisfaction, "You're so stupid, you should listen to me."
Chaoge's thoughts were instantly pulled back by her words. She stared at her in astonishment, even though her red eyes were now filled with laughter, suggesting that the other person's words were mostly a joke. She still asked her incredulously:
"You dare to so openly criticize me now that we've just started dating?"
Qin Muge pretended to ponder for a moment, then tentatively changed his approach: "How about I be more tactful?"
Chaoge said coldly, "...Get out of here, this relationship can't continue." Director, I request a different partner!
She pushed her away expressionlessly, then sat up and tried to walk towards the room. However, she was pulled back into someone's arms as soon as she stood up, and sat directly on her lap—
His arms tightened around her waist, holding her tightly, and he whispered the same tender words into her ear:
"Just kidding, my darling. I love you so much, how could I possibly dislike you?"
Sweet words always come so unexpectedly.
Chaoge's ears turned red, and she turned her head away, refusing to look at her. When Qin Muge saw her like this, she leaned over and kissed her cheek.
Chaoge felt the air was getting warmer. At this rate, she hadn't even finished half of her business, and they were already talking about going to bed.
He raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder to maintain the distance between them. Chaoge tried to bring the topic back on track: "Please allow me to make an abrupt turn. I haven't finished consulting about my psychological issues yet, so let's turn off your flirting mode first."
The general felt very wronged, the kind of wrongedness that couldn't be soothed by kisses and hugs.
Chaoge quickly seized the opportunity and interjected, "Something might be about to happen to the Ling family. Don't you have anything to say about Ling Tianji's actions?"
Qin Muge sighed and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Baby, I don't like talking about business with you, and I don't like bringing it up at this time, because you don't understand my decision, understand?"
So if you're going to do anything, don't tell me.
"I've only just realized how incredibly honest you are with me." Chaoge turned to look at her, touched her chin, and felt she should re-evaluate Qin Muge to correct any wrong impressions she might have of her.
Qin Muge nuzzled her shoulder with his chin, his eyes curving into crescent moons as he smiled.
"I will certainly continue to maintain the few good qualities you possess."
Chaoge said that the target was very cooperative and could be given a passing grade for now. He told the director that the lead role could be changed later.
The following day.
The Yan family of Zecheng welcomed their most distinguished guest in history.
Chaoge remained standing half a foot behind Qin Muge. Her grandmother had good eyesight and saw her from afar. Her face was full of smiles, and Chaoge felt relieved. She slowly shook her head at her grandmother.
The old woman was a little puzzled, but seeing her husband standing straight, and knowing that today's scene was an extremely serious one, she decided to do as her granddaughter told her not to rush to greet them.
Anyway, she was already very satisfied to see Chaoge standing safely in front of her.
Not only Qin Muge's arrival, but also the news that Yan Chen would be coming from Yuandu today, but the old master Yan had heard early on that Yan Chen would also be coming from Yuandu today, but he did not say what it was for.
The old man interpreted it as something related to official business.
Only Qin Muge was exchanging pleasantries with Old Master Yan, learning about the situation in Zecheng, and also taking the time to communicate with Chaoge through the AI's domain:
Are you going to confront Yan Chen?
Chaoge knew that her movements could not be kept from her. After agreeing, she seized an opportunity, left the hall, and walked along the path outside in a certain direction.
【Yaochen, where are you now?】Chaoge thought he would follow her after he came out today, but when she turned around in the hall just now, she found that the guy was gone.
Yao Chen tilted his head slightly, looking at the man in military uniform in front of him. He narrowed his eyes, observed his expression, and then replied to Chao Ge: "[He's right in front of me. I'll tell you the meeting place later.]"
He suddenly remembered Chaoge's evaluation of the three major families a long time ago: "□□, your circle is really messy."
After uncovering those events and the truth, he suddenly realized that many times, things weren't actually that complicated. The reason some people were later discovered to be so unfathomable was simply because those around them were unwilling to expose them.
There were even some seemingly intelligent individuals who turned a blind eye to what those people were doing.
He thought that Chaoge might really be disappointed this time.
But what does it matter? After all, this isn't the first time.
An hour and a half later.
Guided by the Yan family's AI, Qin Muge walked to the door of a guest room. The indicator light on the door was green, indicating that he could enter.
After swiping my ID to verify my identity, I went inside and saw the person on the bed wrapped up in a cocoon shape, motionless. I couldn't tell if they were asleep or just staring blankly under the covers.
I walked to the bedside, bent down, and lifted the blanket to let her get some fresh air, but the moment I made that move, I woke up the person who had just fallen asleep.
She vaguely saw the familiar gold cufflinks on the white cuff and knew who it was.
Qin Muge really didn't expect her to be sleeping this time. Seeing that she looked like she hadn't woken up yet was still fully conscious, he whispered, "Go to sleep."
I thought she was going to go through the same unbearable things as before, and be disappointed or angry. I was just about to comfort her when she slowly recovered on her own.
It's as if they don't care at all.
How could I not care?
Her father made her feel disappointed.
Hearing her words, Chaoge reached out from under the covers to grab her hand. Her hand, which should have been warm and cozy under the covers, was not as warm as Qin Muge's.
She frowned slightly. "Why are your hands so cold?"
Chaoge originally thought it was indeed unbelievable, just as Qin Muge had imagined. She had imagined Yan Chen's various reactions after learning the truth, such as disappointment in Zhou Jue, anger, or surprise at her.
But there was nothing there. After the initial shock of seeing the information, the man returned to calm.
He even looked at her calmly and said:
"Yan Xi has no chance anymore. It seems like I've never given you what you want, but this time I can."
It was as if she told him those things only to get an equal price in return.
She was truly disappointed in Chaoge, but what Yaochen said later made a lot of sense. After all, this wasn't the first time Yan Chen had been so bad, and she no longer had to rely on the Yan family's name to survive.
So, thinking about the future, I fell asleep.
"Hmm, stay with me and sleep for a while." Chaoge's voice was slightly hoarse, half-awake, as if she were a kitten pleading for sleep.
