Taking advantage of the time when Chu Ge went to the cabinet drawer to find poker, Qin Ruojing secretly winked at Tong Yaqi, subtly mouthing "Don't go."
Tong Yaqi was puzzled and doubtful at first, but when she saw Qin Ruojing signaling and mouthing to her, she realized that Qin Ruojing really wanted her to stay. Only then did she understand Qin Ruojing's true intentions.
It seemed her initial feeling was right; Qin Ruojing indeed had something to say to Chu Ge alone. However, Qin Ruojing quickly realized the awkwardness of the situation—if she left, and if Chu Ge had other ideas, Qin Ruojing would be at a loss.
Upon realizing this, Tong Yaqi wasn't upset. She just found it amusing and speechless. After all, given her relationship with Qin Ruojing, she was more than willing to help if she could.
