The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

Chu Tiancheng looked at the two women standing motionless, their auras seemingly sparking. He cleared his throat and called out to Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, she went to the hospital to see me today, so I brought her back for a meal on the way."

Aunt Wang thought to herself that Song Keke had probably pestered her to come over again. Actually, she didn't have that much hostility or opinion towards Song Keke. The main problem was that when she first came here, she knew that Song Keke was engaged to Chu Tiancheng, so she let her in a few times as if she were the mistress of the house. But every time, Chu Tiancheng would get angry and scold her. Not only that, but her monthly bonus was also deducted. That wouldn't do. She was counting on this salary to support herself in her old age.

Therefore, she started to look at Song Keke with disdain, and later, after learning that Chu Tiancheng liked Gu Qing, she disliked her even more.

However, since Chu Tiancheng spoke up today, Aunt Wang had no objections. She glanced at Song Ke and then turned to go into the kitchen.

Unlike usual, Song Ke didn't casually stroll around the house as if she were the lady of the house when she entered. She sat on the sofa, and Chu Tiancheng entered the room.

Aunt Wang brought out a few dishes, glanced in the direction of the room, walked up to Song Ke, and asked with a puzzled look, "Miss Song, what's going on between you and President Chu? Why did President Chu change his mind today and even take the initiative to bring you here for dinner?"

Song Keke thought for a moment and said, "Well, he probably couldn't get a date with Sister Gu Qing and didn't want to waste the food, so he just asked me to come over for a meal since he was passing by."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang had an "I see" look on her face, then turned around to continue serving the dishes. After Chu Tiancheng came out, she said, "Mr. Chu, please eat first, then I'll be leaving now."

In the past, Chu Tiancheng would have kept Aunt Wang here at this time; he didn't want to be with Song Ke at all. But today, he surprisingly nodded and said, "You don't need to come over to cook tonight. I have a dinner party tonight and won't be eating at home."

Aunt Wang paused for two seconds, then nodded: "Okay, okay."

The door slammed shut, leaving only the two people in the room. Chu Tiancheng frowned when he saw Song Ke still sitting on the sofa and called out, "What are you still sitting there for? Eat."

Song Ke got up and went over, waving her phone in her hand: "I just sent a message to Sister Gu Qing, ask her to have dinner with you later."

Chu Tiancheng remained expressionless and asked, "What did she say?"

Just as Song Ke was about to say that he hadn't been replied to yet, her phone rang. She opened it and looked at Chu Tiancheng, who had already started eating and wasn't waiting for her at all.

Song Ke smiled awkwardly and handed him the message Gu Qing had replied to: "See for yourself."

Chu Tiancheng looked up and saw the reply message on his phone.

Song Keke: Sister Gu Qing, Brother Chu took me home for dinner, just the two of us!

Gu Qing: I'm done here, I'll be right there.

Song Ke thought he was going to put down his chopsticks and wait, but he just said, "Eat quickly, she won't come."

Song Ke put her phone away, sat down, and raised an eyebrow. Her tone was so certain that she wouldn't have been sure if she hadn't known that Gu Qing would meet the second male lead, He Yunming, today.

She watched as Chu Tiancheng ate with relish, and she figured he'd be in for a world of trouble when Gu Qing made an excuse not to come.

"Aren't you going to wait for her?"

Chu Tiancheng seemed to have a bad expression because he kept mentioning Gu Qing to Song Ke. He stared at Song Ke for a few seconds with a scrutinizing look, and then his tone suddenly turned cold: "Song Keke, there are only the two of us here now, so what are you pretending for? You used to beg and plead to be near me, so why are you unhappy now that I'm giving you this chance?"

"Or are you planning some new trick this time?"

Chu Tiancheng's cold demeanor was quite intimidating, so Song Ke was naturally startled. She stammered, "No...no, I didn't."

Chu Tiancheng snorted and said, "It'd better not. Hurry up and eat, then go home."

Song Ke lowered her head to eat, but secretly glanced at Chu Tiancheng a couple of times. I must say, the male lead is the male lead. Even his eating posture is so handsome. No wonder Song Ke is so determined to pester Chu Tiancheng.

Just as the two were finishing their meal, the doorbell rang. Song Ke immediately stopped and sat up straight. She had forgotten that Gu Qing was coming. But shouldn't she have run into the second male lead and gone to catch up? How could she still be coming?

Thinking of this, she looked up at Chu Tiancheng, who was also looking over. Chu Tiancheng was about to get up and open the door without saying anything, but Song Ke belatedly got up and stopped him, saying, "Wait."

Chu Tiancheng frowned as he looked at her, and Song Ke smiled and suggested, "Should I hide for a bit?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Chu Tiancheng looking at her strangely. She felt that the meaning of her words was very clear. She should avoid him to prevent Chu Tiancheng from creating a rift between him and his sweetheart. However, she forgot that she hadn't taken the initiative to send the message. So what difference would it make whether she avoided him or not?

She was unusually considerate, but Chu Tiancheng rejected her. He looked at her with amusement and said, "Why are you hiding? Weren't you sending messages quite enthusiastically just now? Why are you scared now?"

As he went to open the door, he said, "Don't make it sound like we're playing some kind of adultery-catching game."

The door opened, and Gu Qing asked Chu Tiancheng with a worried look, "Tiancheng, I heard you were in a car accident. How come you were discharged from the hospital so soon? Where were you injured?"

Listen to this, no wonder Chu Tiancheng is so obsessed with the female lead and relentlessly pursues her. Her words are so considerate, who wouldn't be confused?

Song Ke found a corner sofa to sit on, trying to minimize her presence.

Chu Tiancheng stood at the door, neither moving aside nor inviting her in, but simply asked indifferently, "I heard you had a competition today, how was it?"

Hearing this, Gu Qing smiled gently: "It went quite smoothly."

"Are you really okay?"

Chu Tiancheng shook his head: "There's nothing wrong. Is there anything else?"

Gu Qing looked a little embarrassed upon hearing this. She glanced around the house and asked, "Are you home alone?"

"Song Keke just texted me, saying you're going to treat me to dinner."

After saying that, he explained, "I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to say that if you haven't eaten yet, we can go out to eat."

Song Keke frowned as she listened inside. What was going on? Had the sun risen in the west? Gu Qing had actually taken the initiative to ask Chu Tiancheng out! Oh my god, this was incredible!

It seems like she doesn't need to play matchmaker anymore.

It all happened naturally.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard the door close. Song Ke instinctively jumped up and ran out to see what was happening. She saw that only Chu Tiancheng was there, and she hurriedly asked, "Where is Sister Gu Qing?"

Chu Tiancheng glanced at her and said, "Let's go."

"Judging from your expression, you seem quite reluctant to part with her. I had no idea you and Gu Qing had become so close?"
