Chaoge didn't mention when they would return, and Yaochen didn't either; three or four days passed like this. On a weekend morning, Chaoge went out for breakfast and, remembering Qin Muge who had left that day, suddenly asked:
"Is she living a life of luxury now, eating gourmet meals every day and sleeping in five-star hotels every night?"
It didn't specifically refer to anyone, but Yaochen just knew.
After hesitating for a moment, it replied, "If you need, I can enable location search. But even if you don't look, I can remind you of something: Chaoge, Min Kaiyang didn't come with us. She doesn't have an ID card or money here, so the kind of life you're talking about is probably a bit difficult for her."
Unless she wants to make a living off her looks, once she becomes a public figure, she can't just leave whenever she wants; she will inevitably attract the attention of a large segment of society.
Therefore, it is conceivable that Qin Muge, a great general of the empire, could very well starve to death here.
Chaoge said "Oh" and then fell silent. On her way to buy breakfast, she seemed lost in thought, but no one knew what she was thinking.
This matter lingered until that afternoon. Since there was basically no homework during the summer vacation at university, Chaoge was reluctant to use her brother's PSP, and was a little worried that she might accidentally open some game and cause some unpredictable event, although the probability of that was quite low.
In short, Chaoge is very idle.
She was so bored that she went through her relationship with Qin Muge from the time they met until now ten times in her mind before five minutes had passed.
And there's no way to ask Yaochen.
Because when it comes to matters of the heart, although those involved are often blinded by their own emotions, firstly, Yao Chen had no experience with this kind of thing, and it wasn't a real dating strategy system; secondly, Yao Chen didn't want to offer any opinions to Qin Muge, after all, this person held a huge handle on him, and if Chaoge really ended up with her in the future, she would have plenty of time to take revenge on him.
Therefore, Yaochen's silence caused Chaoge to lose its only consultant.
"Why don't you check what she's doing?" After lying in bed for another half hour, Chaoge thought that she just wanted to find out if that guy had done anything harmful to society. She had absolutely no intention of meeting her and absolutely did not care whether he lived or died.
A more complicated method would be to investigate the area through surveillance and satellites, but since Qin Muge also has an intelligent system, Yao Chen only needs to search for similar systems to find her.
"Huh?" Yao Chen was somewhat surprised by Qin Muge's current location, and even showed an incredulous expression, thinking that it was impossible.
"What?" Looking at his expression, Chaoge felt even more certain that her premonition was about to come true.
She's in the hospital.
Upon hearing this answer, Yan Chaoge's expression became extremely complicated. Could it be that the woman really hadn't eaten or drunk anything for three or four days, then collapsed on the roadside and had to be taken to the hospital by kind-hearted bystanders?
This is really not Qin Muge's style.

Despite saying she wouldn't go looking for Qin Muge's people, she still happily went to the hospital. However, Chaoge resolutely refused to take the blame, attributing her departure to Qin Muge's tendency to cause trouble, claiming it was for the sake of Earth's peace.
"Excuse me for being blunt, but your reasoning is a bit childish," Yao Chen couldn't help but retort after hearing her thoughts.
Chaoge gave a blank "Oh," rolled her eyes, and was quite rude to the guy who had embarrassed her: "No one would know you're not human if you didn't say anything."
Yao Chen pursed his lips, too lazy to respond to her angry outburst.
As soon as Chaoge stepped into the gate of the Municipal People's Hospital, she wrinkled her nose. The smell of disinfectant was so strong that it masked all other odors.
【Yaochen, location.】Without any intention of opening her mouth to quickly inhale the disinfectant, Chaoge stood near the registration desk, communicating with Yaochen in her mind. Holding the hand of a handsome boy, the girl, who looked rather young, seemed perfectly fine, which caused the long line of people next to her to keep casting glances at her, seemingly worried that she would cut in line.
With one hand behind his back, Yao Chen touched the wireless network transmitter next to the hospital's registration desk, directly intruding into all the hospital's cameras to check Qin Muge's location.
She replied with a hint of disbelief, "The third floor, the obstetrics and gynecology department?"
Chaoge, without hesitation, pulled him away from that place and headed towards the stairs. Yaochen, being dragged along by her, still looked like his worldview had been shattered, his mind replaying countless melodramatic urban tragic love stories.
"Wake up, don't forget who she is." Chaoge couldn't stand her AI's stupidity, so she lifted it up at the corner of the stairs.
Yao Chen thought to himself, "Of course I know who she is." But Chao Ge seemed to have forgotten the saying, "A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs."
As Chaoge stepped onto the third floor from the stairwell, she momentarily thought she had entered a battlefield medical camp. The corridor was not as clean and tidy as she had imagined. Instead, various family members were sitting or lying down, carrying patients' change of clothes. Several hospital beds were placed in the already narrow passageway. Some people were sleeping soundly in broad daylight, while others, patients from who-knows-where, were sitting there receiving intravenous drips.
Several other hospital beds were hastily covered with curtains, and intermittent sounds of banging could be heard coming from somewhere.
But a familiar figure made her hesitate to look down and ask Yao Chen if she had gone to the wrong place.
Perhaps because Chaoge was too familiar with her, he didn't feel that she had any intimidating aura at the moment. But she still exuded an aura that was out of place in this place.
Even though she wasn't wearing that spotless white military uniform with gold buttons, her figure was still as upright as a poplar tree.
Not only Chaoge, but even the people passing by in a hurry felt that this exceptionally beautiful woman was out of place in this place. Her noble air made them feel as if she would pollute the air in the corridor.
Perhaps because she was preoccupied with something else at that moment, she didn't notice Chaoge's arrival immediately. Instead, she glanced at her watch, deciding not to add to the already crowded corridor, and strode towards the elevator in the distance.
Her long black hair was securely tied back with a white ribbon, and she wore a beautiful white cheongsam that perfectly accentuated her figure. Even just looking at her back, Chaoge could imagine the allure she must possess.
She is alluring and beyond compare.
Chaoge turned around and pulled Yaochen back to the stairwell, asking casually, "Let's see which floor she's going to."
Yao Chen didn't understand why she didn't go directly there, but he quickly gave her the answer: "Sixth floor, there's an operating room."
As Chaoge walked towards the sixth floor, she pondered Qin Muge's connections in this world. Since she was in this world at this point in time, all connections were related to her.
Qin Muge shouldn't have run into any acquaintances, right?
Realizing that this wasn't the world that person was familiar with, Chaoge's steps suddenly stopped. Then, without saying a word, she lowered her eyes and looked down at the ascending stairs, burying her head in her work and no longer speaking.
Yao Chen didn't ask her what she was thinking about. Anyway, she was the kind of person who couldn't keep things to herself, and even if he didn't ask, she would tell him on her own.
I thought the sixth floor would be much better than the third floor, but I don't know if it was because there were a lot of people giving birth today or what, but I was startled by a little sound coming from the delivery room almost as soon as I got to the door of the operating room.
But as soon as she stopped, she felt an arm reach out from the side. A woman with red eyes, with a half-smile, placed her hand on the stairwell door, blocking her back to the stairs.
Chaoge was so startled that she took a step back, clearly not expecting her to be waiting for her there.
A fleeting look of joy crossed Qin Muge's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it, asking with a rare hint of doubt, "What are you doing here? Is someone in your family sick?"
It was as if even if one ruled out all of Chaoge's answers, one would not have imagined that she had come to find her.
Chaoge's answer was instantly cut off. She thought for a moment and then asked, "And what are you doing here?"
Qin Muge had just managed a smile and was about to reply when he noticed Chaoge's expression and composed himself. He calmly recounted the events: "A customer came into the shop where I work today, and his wife followed him in. She almost got into a fight with the staff, and she went into labor and was due to have miscarriage. The shop was too chaotic, and I had some free time, so I took her to the hospital."
Oh, this sounds really simple, doesn't it? Seeing injustice, someone stepped in to help; kindly, they took a pregnant woman to the hospital. On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
So here's the question—
What kind of workplace would a customer's wife have to work in for her to come after him? And then, after discovering the truth, would it cause a miscarriage?
Chaoge took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger rising in her heart, but she didn't know who she was venting that anger on.
The next second, a smiling face appeared in front of me. "Are you angry?"
Before Chaoge could turn her head away in anger, she added, "I was just kidding."
Yan Chaoge: ...She felt like smoke was rising from her head, and she was about to explode on the spot.
Chaoge's sarcastic remarks always came faster than his brain could process: "I wonder who was saying they hadn't lied to me before?"
Qin Muge chuckled, a smile playing on her lips, making her already handsome face even more radiant: "I never lied to you before, but now you don't want me anymore, do you? Chaoge, the only person I won't lie to is my darling."
"Oh," Yan Chaoge replied indifferently, realizing that their conversation was a bit childish and avoiding the trap she had set.
The operating room door opened slightly, and a nurse came out and asked the family members. Qin Muge stopped teasing Chaoge and turned to walk over there.
Chaoge watched her retreating figure, tilted her head, and suddenly asked Yaochen beside her, "If..." She stopped mid-sentence, then realized it was pointless and gave up the idea of continuing.
Because even I find it unbearable.
What would happen if Qin Muge really stayed here for decades?
As Chaoge thought of this hypothesis, she saw the back of the woman standing there. Even if that person had many ways to return to this life, she was ultimately not a person from here, and this place was not even her former world.
A general who has come down from the battlefield.
She was facing a world that didn't belong to her.
The king, having left his homeland, was lonely and desolate.
What will happen to her people who have lost her? The hundreds of billions of people on Tianzixing almost all have her as their guiding principle.
Without Qin Muge, they lost their invincible faith.
For a moment, Chaoge felt that he was unforgivable.
Lost in his own thoughts, he didn't notice the person had walked back to him, their cool fingers touching his brow: "What are you thinking about that's causing you so much distress?"
Chaoge turned her head away from her, avoiding her hand in the process.
Qin Muge withdrew her hand, her gaze casually sweeping over Yao Chen beside her. Yao Chen looked completely bewildered: [Why are you looking at me? How am I supposed to know what she's thinking?]
Many times I've wondered why Chaoge would keep such a useless thing like you around. Qin Muge always mocked Yaochen's dignity as an AI in places where Chaoge couldn't see.
"Mind your own business!" Yao Chen's eyes, now black, glared at Qin Muge, radiating a chilling light as if he wanted to pounce on her and bite her.
"Of course I'll take care of my people." She raised an eyebrow slightly, not at all worried about angering Yao Chen.
"You should go back." Chao Ge interjected this while Qin Muge and Yao Chen were 'interacting'.
One sentence immediately drew her attention back.
After just a moment's thought, combined with her ambiguous gaze just now, Qin Muge felt as if he had grasped Chaoge's train of thought.
"I'm a little hungry, Chaoge, treat me to dinner." Qin Muge put his arm around her and they walked down the stairs. He didn't intend to chat with her here.
"If anyone calls, handle it." After casually tossing the matter to Yao Chen, Qin Muge led Chao Ge towards the shopping center far from the hospital.
Yao Chen really wanted to urge Chao Ge to kick the person away, but how come it was so easy for her to give the order? Having a weakness in this woman's hands could drive the AI crazy.
I'm so annoyed! I don't want to smile!
Chaoge silently followed her. It was still about a twenty-minute walk from the hospital to the shopping center in the distance. Even on such a hot day, people were still working hard under the scorching sun; this city never lacks people who strive.
It's rare to see girls on the street without umbrellas to shield themselves from the sun, but one of them is particularly striking in appearance, so it's no wonder that passersby are staring at her.
Qin Muge didn't care about that and asked Chaoge with her head down, "What were you thinking about just now? Did you feel guilty that I didn't go back?"
"No!" Chaoge denied her question.
Qin Muge smiled knowingly at her words: "That's right. Chaoge, you are responsible for the people of Yin Yang Group. The fate of the empire is decided by me, it doesn't belong to you, nor should it be your burden. Even if the empire perishes, it has nothing to do with you, understand?"
As arrogant and conceited as ever.
But for some reason, Chaoge felt comforted.
Even though he himself was not living a glamorous life as he appeared, he wasn't angry when she kicked him out, and he even comforted her.
Yan Chaoge didn't want to admit that she was being a little soft-hearted.
