"Your legs are your own; I can't control you. It's good you're here, saves you from constantly checking on us and interrupting your sister and when we're sleeping."
"Hehe, you said it yourself. Who knows? I might just co find you guys if I can't stay at ho any longer."
"Suit yourself. I won't talk to you now; your sister and I need to figure out lunch."
Since there were only Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing in the room and Chu Ge always had good hearing, the conversation between the Qin sisters was almost entirely captured by his ears.
This ti, Chu Ge was genuinely puzzled. Qin Ruoying was driven away by Qin Ruojing a few days ago, so why had Qin Ruojing's attitude completely changed in just a few days? Listening to her, it seed she was even welcoming if Qin Ruoying really wanted to co?
As Chu Ge was pondering, Qin Ruojing handed the phone back to him, "Xiao Ying wants to talk to you."
Full of confusion, Chu Ge put the phone to his ear, and after a "hello," Qin Ruoying's clear and pleasant voice imdiately ca through the receiver.
"Brother-in-law, did you miss ?"
"Well... brother-in-law missing sister-in-law doesn't seem quite right, does it?"
Hearing Chu Ge say this, although Qin Ruojing knew Chu Ge was joking, she still gave him a fierce glare, while Qin Ruoying's laughter ca tinkling through the receiver.
Sitting on Qin Ruojing's fragrant double bed, Chu Ge chatted with Qin Ruoying for quite a while before hanging up. He had to admit, chatting with Qin Ruoying was indeed very enjoyable, it effortlessly lifted his spirits.
"Chairman, from what I heard, you seem not to object to your sister coming at all? Didn't you specifically kick her out a few days ago?"
Returning the phone to Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge asked with so puzzlent.
"A few days ago was a few days ago; now is now."
"Huh? What's the difference?"
Qin Ruojing seed in a good mood, and this ti she didn't refuse to answer this question. She sat beside Chu Ge and said, "A few days ago, you must have heard about the massive kidnapping case in Lidu City, right?"
Chu Ge responded with a "hmm," as he was the one who solved the case, and in passing, he helped Mu Lingshan earn so credit. Of course, he knew about it.
"Just because of that? You're worried your sister might get kidnapped? Lidu City is so big, I'd say the probability is pretty low, right?"
Qin Ruojing shook her head, "Low probability doesn't an no probability. After all, both you and I have our own things to attend to and can't always be by Xiao Ying's side to protect her. I did it just in case because, especially since she and I look identical, the chance of her getting into trouble increases."
Chu Ge was even more puzzled, "Since you put it that way, can't you stop talking in riddles with ? Just because you two are identical twin sisters, she's more prone to getting into trouble? What kind of nonsense is that?"
Seeing Chu Ge's face, which always bore a teasing look, now displayed a rare confused expression, Qin Ruojing finally felt she had the upper hand in the conversation, further brightening her mood, a hint of smugness spreading across her face.
"So, you also have things you can't figure out?"
Chu Ge chuckled, "Nonsense, you really think I can predict five hundred years ahead and back? I'm not an Immortal. How could I know everything?"
If it were anyone else speaking to Qin Ruojing this way, she would have lost interest long ago, even if she didn't get angry. But because it was Chu Ge who said it, not only was she not annoyed, but her little smugness grew even more, looking almost like her sister Qin Ruoying, mischievous and sly.
"So, do you want to know? If you want to know, then beg for it."
Seeing Qin Ruojing's rare smug deanor, Chu Ge couldn't help but be thunderstruck. If he hadn't just spoken with Qin Ruoying on the phone, he would have thought the one talking to him was his fake sister-in-law.
Chu Ge smiled, nodded, "I want to know; please tell ."
Seeing Chu Ge agree so straightforwardly, Qin Ruojing was montarily stunned. She had thought Chu Ge would pretend to be indifferent, playing hard to get, and deliberately say he didn't want to know.
In comparison, she felt that her rare little antics were so childish, like a child showing off cleverness in front of an adult.
Facing Chu Ge's smiling eyes, Qin Ruojing, feeling a bit sulky, glared at Chu Ge and huffed, "Even if you beg, I won't tell you."
Looking at Qin Ruojing's puffed-up face, Chu Ge couldn't help but burst into laughter, genuinely finding her too amusing. Just being able to see this rare willful side of Qin Ruojing made today's visit worthwhile.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh! What's so funny?"
The more Chu Ge laughed, the more Qin Ruojing felt inexplicably angry. She reached out and gave Chu Ge a push, and Chu Ge, instead of dodging, was pushed straight onto the bed, still laughing heartily.
At the sa ti, Chu Ge thought Qin Ruojing's deanor was just like a little wife playfully acting annoyed in front of her husband.
Qin Ruojing sat on the bed, turned her head to look at Chu Ge lying there, and couldn't help but blush with anger. But as she continued to be angry, she suddenly burst into laughter, unable to maintain her stern expression any longer.
Being around Chu Ge was like being under a magical spell, allowing her to shed all her facades and show her true self. Even with her closest family, she had never been this relaxed and at ease.
After all, her current mood was more accurately described as embarrassed rather than angry.
After Chu Ge laughed for a while, Qin Ruojing decided not to keep him in suspense any longer. She hit him with a pillow and smoothed a strand of hair from her forehead before explaining the reasons for her previous anxiety.
"Actually, this matter is quite complicated, or maybe I'm overthinking it. I'll just say it, and you just listen."
Chu Ge sat up in bed and nodded.
"Where should I start... Let's talk about the Liger Group I ntioned to you before."
"The chairman of the Liger Group, Long Tao, has always wanted to pair with his son, Long Kun, and even though I've clearly rejected him several tis, this father and son never gave up on the idea, always looking for opportunities."
"Long Kun?"
Chu Ge repeated the na, amused. He had heard about Long Kun so many tis recently; why was there always sothing about this Long Kun?
Moreover, the Long family's ambitions were really large. If Qin Ruojing truly beca the Long family's daughter-in-law, wouldn't the Tianjiao Group effectively beco their Long family's asset? It was clearly a sche to have both wealth and beauty.
"You took my sister to the Liger Group's venue, and I'm truly worried that they might mistake Ruoying for and pester her. With Ruoying's temperant, she would never speak nicely to them, and it would definitely result in a fallout. They would then realize she's not , but my twin sister."
Chu Ge nodded, absolutely sure that was inevitable.
"At that point, I fear they might beco angry and retaliate while no one is around Ruoying, using her to threaten . After all, Long Kun is a genuine gangster, so it wouldn't be surprising if he really did such a thing."
"They wouldn't dare easily do anything to , as I'm the chairman of Tianjiao Group, and any incident involving would have too great an impact. But it's different for Ruoying, which is why I rushed to get her out of this ss. Of course, these are just fears of mine, but as they say, better safe than sorry."
"But now everything is fine. Since the city had such a big case, there's bound to be a crackdown taking advantage of this major incident. During such special tis, no matter how powerful a person is, they'll surely be cautious, not daring to commit cris blatantly. Otherwise, it could be a downfall, getting completely rooted out."
At this point, Qin Ruojing smiled, "Besides, Linlin's script is about to start filming soon. Even if Ruoying doesn't co over these days, I will have her co over when the movie officially starts shooting. That way, she can travel around with the crew, and I believe she'll be very happy."
Looking at Qin Ruojing's smiling face, Chu Ge genuinely felt a sense of admiration.
Most people at the age of twenty-five are still indulging in fun and throwing tantrums with their family at tis.
However, Qin Ruojing, also twenty-five, hadn't recklessly relied on her father, who used to be a police captain, nor did she beco arrogant due to her current success.
Not only is she courteous, but she's also very ticulous. Clearly, becoming the chairman of such a huge Tianjiao Group and developing it to this scale wasn't just due to luck.
At the sa ti, Chu Ge also envied Qin Ruoying for having such a considerate sister, thinking about how lucky and happy she was.
As Chu Ge was feeling these emotions, he was unaware that Qin Ruojing was also reflecting on the coincidence of fate, which allowed her to et Chu Ge amidst the vast sea of people.
Since the mont they accidentally t, this man who suddenly walked into her life seed to have never ssed up anything, aside from being occasionally a bit cheeky and arrogant, nothing had ever deterred him.
Such a man is undoubtedly excellent, and Qin Ruojing couldn't deny that, unknowingly, she did develop so feelings for Chu Ge.
Unfortunately, those feelings were rely just affection.
In her view, Chu Ge seed to lack ambition and dreams, which was fundantally at odds with her life philosophy.
Therefore, simply maintaining their current relationship was her best choice.
Yet, in recent days, whenever the night grew quiet, Qin Ruojing felt irritable because, even if she had it clear in her mind, she still found herself involuntarily thinking of Chu Ge's signature smile several tis.
