Why could he be so relaxed while she couldn't?

She also stretched out her legs, placing her smooth, white feet on Chen Che's chest.

This time, Chen Che slowly opened his eyes, looked at the smooth, white feet on his chest, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Not bad, they're quite pleasant to look at once they're clean and don't smell."

Qin Qingyan was furious and opened her mouth to retort, but suddenly thought of something and seeing Chen Che's half-smiling expression, she held back the words that were about to escape her lips.

She was about to close her eyes and ignore him.

But then she saw Chen Che yawning tiredly, as he turned around in the bathtub with his back to her, "A bit tired, help me massage."

Qin Qingyan hesitated for a moment, moved closer to Chen Che in the bathtub, and put her hand on his back, not even knowing why she had gone this far.

Seeing Chen Che yawning incessantly and looking very fatigued, Qin Qingyan, without knowing why, asked in a tone reminiscent of friendly concern, "You seem tired? Have you been busy these past three days?"

As soon as Qin Qingyan spoke these words, she regretted it, wishing she could give herself a hard slap.

Why did she have to ask such silly questions?

As expected, as soon as she asked, she heard Chen Che burst into a light laugh and say, "Are you questioning why I haven't come to accompany you these past three days?"

"No way, no way, Dr. Qin, you're not already hooked after just once, are you?"

Slap!

Qin Qingyan slapped Chen Che hard on the back and kicked him in the butt underwater.

It didn't have much effect.

For Chen Che, a person in the first stage of the Flesh and Blood Calamity, it was like tickling, quite comfortable in fact.

Qin Qingyan curled up her lips for a moment, then silently leaned forward again to massage his shoulders.

A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Che's mouth, indeed with a woman like Qin Qingyan, once you leave an imprint on her heart, you can completely open her up.

This is just the beginning of a gradual submission.

Chen Che twisted his neck. Indeed, he had been very busy these past three days.

Handling various affairs.

The most significant thing was... Nana pestering him every day to tell her the story of Journey to the West.

Completely engrossed in it.

Chen Che didn't plan to give Xia Na the text of Journey to the West, intending to use this as a "leverage" against Nana.

However, it backfired and he ended up being pestered until late into the night every day.

Eventually, he had to use points to exchange for the complete version of Journey to the West and handed it over to Xia Na, who then happily hugged it tightly and went off to the side to read.

Chen Che yawned, suddenly feeling Qin Qingyan climb onto him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Qin Qingyan didn't speak, just held him like that.

Chen Che and she remained in a stalemate for a while, before he suddenly stood up, lifted her by the waist, and strode out of the bathroom.

The corner of Qin Qingyan's mouth turned up slightly.

This time, she had won.

...

A month flew by in the blink of an eye.

During this month, both Chen Che and An Nishang were so busy they couldn't catch a break.

An Nishang was busy restructuring the entire Judicial Bureau, firmly taking control of it.

The entire security team resigned.

And new recruits were hired.

The position of the head of the security team fell into Angduo's hands.

Li Jifu assumed the position of the head of the Special Operations Department.

Chief Investigator Lei Bao was immensely grateful, feeling fortunate for having allied with the right side early on and increasingly grateful for his initial decision!

Meanwhile, Chen Che completely opened up Lower City District, establishing smuggling routes between the Upper City District and Lower City District.

One can eat a lot of things, but the premise is eating them one bite at a time, slowly; eating a whole large package at once will stretch one's mouth too much.

That was exactly Chen Che's situation at the moment.

He took over all the underground businesses in the Upper City District, which were incredibly complicated, and only now, a month later, were all the businesses finally set up.

Everything was finally getting on track.

But only Chen Che knew that everything seemed to be on track.

But in reality.

The myriad issues just made one feel incredibly mentally exhausted.

But there weren't any particularly good solutions at the moment.

After all, taking over all of Upper City District's businesses had already broken certain rules and disrupted some orders, making any radical reforms would only worsen the chaos.

The entire council, maybe even the entire Upper City District, would see him as an enemy.

At that point, things couldn't end well.

A month's time.

And the bet with Qin Qingyan had also come to an end.

On the morning of the last day, Qin Qingyan woke up in his embrace, and he prepared the necessary things for her before saying: "You've completed our bet, you can leave here anytime if you want, but if you don't want to leave, I won't force you either."

"Who would want to stay here with you?"

Even so, Qin Qingyan did not leave immediately, giving Chen Che the excuse that she hadn't arranged her next place yet.

But Chen Che knew the deeper reason, he merely smiled.

However, on the fifth day after the bet was completed, Qin Qingyan still left the villa.

As for why, Chen Che didn't know.

But Chen Che didn't think much of it.

In this month-long cooperation.

He could already sense the changes in Qin Qingyan's mindset.

Put simply.

He successfully tasted conquest.

But he didn't believe that this would make Qin Qingyan devotedly stay by his side as a mistress.
