Chapter 1683: Chapter 1669
Chu Ge had a faint smile on his lips, "I understand what you mean, no need to say more."
Long Ang looked into Chu Ge’s eyes, which were clear and bright, and knew that Chu Ge truly understood his meaning.
He didn’t say anything more, just pointed to the innermost room, "Ming Chong is inside, you guys can go in."
Unfortunately, when Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu entered, Ming Chong was sprawled on the bed asleep.
Ming Chong never used to sleep on a bed, always felt it wasn’t comfortable and preferred to sleep on the carpet. It was Chu Ge who had forcibly changed her habit.
Watching Ming Chong sleep sweetly, hugging a stuffed toy, Chu Ge quietly retreated, lightly tapping Jian Chunqiu to signal him to step out.
Once outside, Chu Ge said, "Seems like our timing isn’t right."
Jian Chunqiu nodded, "Yes, since she’s fine, we should all go about our own business."
Ye Chen, originally bored, turned his head to ask Lin Dong, "How’s business at the Gambling Stone Field now?"
On this note, Lin Dong’s eyes gleamed with pride, "Haha, go see for yourself."
He wouldn’t boast otherwise, but he was confident about managing the Gambling Stone Field well.
Seeing Lin Dong’s smug expression, Ye Chen figured it couldn’t be bad. He wrapped an arm around Lin Dong’s shoulder, saying, "Let’s go check it out, maybe play a few rounds for fun."
The two headed to the Gambling Stone Field, leaving Jian Chunqiu and Chu Ge standing there. Jian Chunqiu planned to investigate Nangong Yun Xi, he turned to Chu Ge, about to speak, but Chu Ge quickly said, "It’s okay, Elder Jian, go ahead if you’re busy."
Jian Chunqiu acknowledged, "Then you should also attend to your matters."
With that, he also left.
After they left, Chu Ge didn’t immediately depart, but rather went to the front desk and casually picked a spot to sit.
Long Ang, noticing him, wondered aloud, "Why did you come out?"
Chu Ge replied after sitting down, "Ming Chong fell asleep, so we stepped out."
Long Ang chuckled affectionately, "That Ming Chong, usually so well-behaved, always sleeps after eating, without a care in the world."
Chu Ge chuckled along, "Indeed, if one could live like that, they wouldn’t have so many troubles."
"Yes, we often get caught up in things that bind us, and it’s easy to lose oneself gradually."
The bar being quiet and not busy, Long Ang sat down facing Chu Ge, also poured himself a low-alcohol cocktail.
"Want to drink something?" Long Ang asked, "All the drinks here were personally selected by Mr. Chu. After he’s gone, we’ve kept his selection and haven’t added new ones."
Though the variety is limited, the taste is indeed good.
Long Ang recommended one to Chu Ge, indicating he should try it. Chu Ge smiled, "No worries, just give me anything."
Seeing Chu Ge was not particular, Long Ang poured him the same cocktail, "The alcohol content is low, but the taste is nice, you should try."
Chu Ge thanked him, then curiously asked, "I heard you used to be at odds with them?"
Long Ang, slightly surprised, nodded, "Yes, I was with the Dragon Group, then due to some events, I followed Mr. Chu."
Chu Ge had gathered some information about Mr. Chu, and based on this, Mr. Chu seemed almost god-like, giving him a surreal impression.
He sipped the drink lightly, curious, "Is there any difference between your Mr. Chu and me?"
He was asking about appearance or character, but Long Ang misunderstood, laughing, "Chu Ge, interesting question. You two are entirely different, Mr. Chu is highly skilled in martial arts, not someone easily defeated, while you have great business acumen. Both have their strengths."
Chu Ge, with a smile, subtly shook his head, "You’ve misunderstood my question, I meant about our personalities and appearances, do we really look alike?"
Long Ang nodded, "Yes, if I hadn’t seen you come from another dimension myself, I wouldn’t believe there are two identical people in this world."
His words carried curiosity, "Sometimes I wonder if there’s another person identical to me in another dimension."
Chu Ge wasn’t well-versed in the concept of parallel dimensions or cultivation; he hadn’t heard of them before, and if he had, he would’ve considered them fictional from dramas or novels.
"This experience, hard to say if it’s good or bad."
With a bitter smile, Chu Ge pondered, having been in this dimension for almost three months without knowing about his original world, his company, and Mu Bingtong...
Thinking of Mu Bingtong, his eyes dimmed. In this dimension, there’s also a Mu Bingtong, coincidentally, she was Mr. Chu’s partner. Though he knew she wasn’t the one he knew, every time Mu Bingtong messaged, it pained his heart.
This was why he changed his phone; he didn’t want to be too sad or intrusive in others’ lives.
"Chu Ge, tell me about your dimension?"
Feeling idle, Long Ang curiously asked.
Chu Ge had things he wanted to share with Long Ang, but mainly business-related topics.
The two chatted away about business for most of the day...
Meanwhile, in a private villa, independently purchased by Nangong Yun Xi, known only to Xia Xuan.
The place was brightly lit, the living room filled with the scent of tea.
Nangong Yun Xi, seated on the sofa, prepared tea for the Old Palace Master, handed it over, "Master, is your return for Mystic Sky Tower?"
The Old Palace Master nodded, "Yes, having heard about many strange occurrences near Mystic Sky Tower, which could appear anytime."
Nangong Yun Xi, hands on knees, gaze on the coffee table, meditated that if so, his plans would have to change.
