Seeing Qin Ruoying's exuberant expression, Chu Ge couldn't help but find it amusing.
Logically, with just the two of them left at ho tonight, even if he had no such thoughts about his sister-in-law, shouldn't the man be the one who's happy? What was Qin Ruoying so excited about?
Amused in his heart, Chu Ge wore a perplexed expression and asked, "Why be happy if your sister isn't coming back? What's there to be so excited about?"
"Of course there's sothing to be happy about! Aren't you happy, brother-in-law? Tonight, it's just the two of us at ho. Don't you find it inconvenient to do anything when she's around?"
Qin Ruoying tossed a broad bean into the air, caught it in her mouth, and then flashed Chu Ge a mischievous smile, as if she wanted to do sothing that could only be done without her sister around.
However, Chu Ge wasn't thinking inappropriately. After all, their relationship was that of brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and the sisters had such a good bond. Qin Ruoying was just speaking without much thought, as she always did.
Chu Ge replied, "Not at all. With your sister not at ho, I'll be all alone in the long night, keeping an empty room. As long as I don't suffer insomnia without her beside , I'd consider it lucky. Why should I be happy?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ruoying giggled and said in surprise, "Oh my, brother-in-law, you can say such cheesy things? You never miss a chance to show your affection for my sister in front of , do you?"
Chu Ge thought to himself, of course, why else would I stay here?
But he couldn't show it on his face. He took a sip of water and placed the cup on the dining table, then sat down beside Qin Ruoying, saying with amusent, "If you think explanations are just camouflage, think whatever you like. Are you going out today?"
"Yes, of course! I'll get ready, and we'll take the Ferrari out, okay?"
Thanks to Chu Ge's earlier words, Qin Ruoying thought it through. Since she already accepted the Ferrari, leaving it in the parking lot would be a waste of such a fine thing. It's better to take it out and have so fun.
Hearing his sister-in-law say "Yes," Chu Ge couldn't help but let his imagination run wild for a mont, then shook his head with a smile and said, "That car doesn't even have plates yet, not even temporary ones. If sothing happens, it'll be too troubleso; it's better not to drive it."
"It's fine, isn't it? It's a five-million-yuan car. Even if the traffic cops see it, they usually wouldn't bother. Besides, what's the likelihood of sothing happening?"
"No way, don't even think about it."
Seeing Qin Ruoying pouting and looking so regretful, Chu Ge understood the irresistible allure she felt. So he offered a compromise, "How about this, if you behave well today, I might consider letting you drive that car once the traffic cops are off duty tonight."
When she heard this, Qin Ruoying's face imdiately transford from disappointnt to an eager excitent. She blinked her eyes and grabbed Chu Ge's hand, "Brother-in-law, really? You'll let drive that car tonight?"
Chu Ge chuckled and said, "Uh-huh, depending on your performance during the day."
After Qin Ruoying quickly tidied herself up, Chu Ge took her around the city, all the while pondering about He Qing asking him to take the role of president at Tianqing Company.
Throughout the whole day, Qin Ruoying stayed by Chu Ge's side. While they had fun and she looked forward to driving the Ferrari later that night, there was still a slight sense of missed opportunity.
Compared to just having fun, she was hoping to encounter another oblivious guy like Liu Dawang, soone who would draw trouble so that she could see Chu Ge in action again and admire his cool deanor.
Unfortunately, until sunset, no one ca to pick a fight. The only thing that made Qin Ruoying happy was that after dinner, Chu Ge took her to the parking lot of the Huafu Garden District and let her sit in the driver's seat of the Ferrari 458.
Sitting inside the flashy sports car, Qin Ruoying touched everything around, her excitent unmistakable.
Seeing her so happy put Chu Ge in high spirits too. But after waiting for a while and seeing that she hadn't started the car, he couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoying, haven't you wanted to drive this car all along? You're sitting in it now, why haven't you started it?"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Qin Ruoying looked at Chu Ge, "Brother-in-law, why don't you drive? Honestly, my driving skills are pretty bad. I even think it's a miracle I got my license. The last ti I drove this car, I was really nervous. It was only because I didn't want He Qing to look down on that I forced myself to do it."
Hearing her say this, Chu Ge burst out laughing. This girl was really considering He Qing as her sister's rival; wasn't that just putting up a brave front? Luckily, nothing went wrong the last ti she drove the car.
After swapping seats with Qin Ruoying, Chu Ge sat in the driver's seat, smiling, "Alright, let the brother-in-law drive, get your seatbelt on, and tell where you want to go for a ride?"
For the evening she had been anticipating all day, Qin Ruoying had it all planned out. As she put on her seatbelt, she said, "Hmm, bar, dance club, arcade, karaoke, let's just go to the lively places. Today, since my sister isn't ho, let's party all night!"
Chu Ge turned his head to look at Qin Ruoying, shook his head, and said, "All night? Aren't you afraid your sister will check in on us? If she finds out, won't she give us a hard ti? You used to check on us all the ti, and your sister doesn't trust you to begin with, so she's sure to do the sa."
Qin Ruoying casually replied, "Brother-in-law, you don't have to be so straightforward, right? Don't worry, don't worry, anyway, there's no landline at ho. If she calls before nine or ten o'clock, we'll just say we're out for dinner. At ten, we'll turn off our phones, and if she asks about it later, we can just say we went to sleep."
Chu Ge chuckled, "You sly girl, you planned all this out, didn't you? But do you think I'll agree?"
Qin Ruoying giggled, winked at Chu Ge, and played cute, "When I was back ho in Kyoto, my parents watched over . Now that I'm here, my sister watches over too. It's rare that I have my freedom today, so can you let have so fun? You're the best, brother-in-law, you wouldn't have the heart to refuse , right?"
Although Qin Ruoying was pretty good at acting cute, Chu Ge had seen He Qing make this expression many tis, so he was naturally immune to it and wasn't easily swayed.
"Sorry, I actually can bear to refuse you. It's fine to hang out, but staying out all night is out of the question. Staying up late is the greatest enemy of a girl's skin, so we'll head out and must be ho before midnight."
Actually, Qin Ruoying didn't really expect Chu Ge to agree to stay out all night. She was ready to keep pleading until he gave in. Hearing him say "midnight" was already quite satisfying, so she imdiately smiled and nodded, "Okay, brother-in-law, let's go. How about we take a leisurely drive, then have so drinks and sing a bit?"
"It's decided then."
Chu Ge agreed with a nod and started the car. In the night, the Ferrari 458 looked like a leaping fla, drawing the attention of passersby, all filled with admiration and longing.
With no particular destination in mind, Chu Ge drove for over twenty minutes when suddenly Qin Ruoying's excited voice broke the silence.
"Brother-in-law, look, that bar seems interesting. There are so many nice cars parked outside. Let's go in and have a look?"
Following Qin Ruoying's pointing finger, Chu Ge glanced toward the street. A newly opened bar with a bit of a Western cowboy vibe caught his eye. The door was a wooden swing door, surrounded by a deliberately created sandy area. Parked in front were all high-end cars like rcedes, BMW, and Land Rover.
Originally, Chu Ge planned to let Qin Ruoying try so cocktails anyway, so since they happened upon a bar she was interested in, he had no objections.
As they got closer to the bar, Qin Ruoying saw the bar's sign clearly and burst into laughter.
"Brother-in-law, look at the na of this bar. It's actually called 'Lidu Second.' The owner must be a joker. What were they thinking?"
Chu Ge laughed too and casually remarked, "Maybe the owner thought claiming to be first was too high-profile and figured being second is just fine?"
Qin Ruoying nodded in agreent, "Guess that must be it. I rember there was a movie called 'The Second Best.'" I didn't really like the movie, but I did quite enjoy its the song. Let think, how does it go?"
After a few seconds of thought, Qin Ruoying started to hum.
"With a curved saber in hand, shouting a loud motto, who are you ahead, report your na, if you dare, don't run away. My saber waves in the wind, having seen heroes in the sunset with graceful waists, how high can you fly over rooftops, I practice drifting on water by boat..."
Listening to Qin Ruoying hum that song, Chu Ge took another look at the prominent 'Lidu Second' sign and then parked the Ferrari in a spot.
Even though there were many nice cars around, once this Ferrari parked there, its flashiness instantly outshone the rest.
Pushing open the bar's little wooden door, the two of them walked into the whimsically nad 'Lidu Second' bar side by side.
Inside, the bar's décor was predominantly wooden. It appeared randomly simple yet ingeniously designed, giving off a rugged feel.
On one side of the bar, there were entertainnt facilities like pool tables and dartboards. On the intentionally vintage wooden tables, mostly beer mugs were placed, and the lighting wasn't as dim as in most bars. Amid the perating blues music, there was a robust cowboy atmosphere.
After glancing around, Chu Ge also felt that the bar had a nice vibe. It really had character, and he figured the owner must have spent so ti in Arica and had put quite a bit of thought into this bar's style.
What's more amazing was that in this bar focused on the Arican Western cowboy the, all the servers were pretty girls around twenty years old, all wearing tight white tank tops and ripped jeans.
When Chu Ge and Qin Ruoying found a place to sit, and Chu Ge turned his attention to the drinks nu, it made him chuckle again.
