Of course, Qin Ruojing was not welcome, a hundred times not welcome.

If her sister was going to stay here long-term, it meant that Chu Ge would also have to stay long-term, and under her sister's watchful eyes, she and Chu Ge would not only face the risk of being exposed at any time, but they would also have to sleep in the same room at night. How could she possibly welcome that?

Unfortunately, until she figured out a way to get rid of Qin Ruoying, it didn't matter if she was welcome or not.

After quite a sumptuous dinner, Qin Ruoying patted her belly—no matter how much she ate, it would never bulge—and threw out a question that gave Qin Ruojing quite a headache.

"Sis, brother-in-law, how are we three going to sleep tonight?"

"One bedroom each, isn't that perfect?" Chu Ge said with a smile as Qin Ruojing hesitated.

"Brother-in-law, it seems like my sister's cold isn't much of a problem anymore, right? Are you sure you don't want to share a room with her? Spend the long night alone?" Qin Ruoying asked slyly.

"It's when a cold is almost recovered that it's most contagious. Now I'm fine, I can take care of your sister, but if both of us fall ill, that would be troublesome."

"Ah, having a boyfriend is really nice. When you're sick, there's someone to care for you, unlike me, all alone, having to tough it out when I'm ill." Qin Ruoying exclaimed dramatically.

"Then why don't you hurry up and find one?" Qin Ruojing said irritably.

"Ah, I'd like to, but I need to find someone decent, right? Even if I can't find someone as good as brother-in-law, at least someone close; otherwise, I'd feel so unbalanced."

Watching her sister sigh and complain, Qin Ruojing found it amusing but had to admit that Chu Ge really had many virtues. In this day and age, finding such a man wasn't easy.

Chu Ge, satisfied and in high spirits after dinner, watched the sisters banter for a while before returning to the bedroom to play games with He Junming and Chu Shiyao.

As for the pile of dishes that needed washing, they were all left to the Qin sisters. Whoever wanted to wash them could, but he wasn't going to.

Maybe it was because Qin Ruoying was worn out from traveling and had a bit too much to drink, her first night here was unexpectedly uneventful. The three of them each took a bedroom and peacefully spent the night apart.

The next day, Qin Ruoying was still asleep when Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing left the house.

However, both Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing knew that now that Qin Ruoying was here, peace would only be temporary. In the coming days, who knew what unexpected things she might do?

Today was the official opening day of the Corporate Sports Meet.

When Chu Ge arrived at Tianjiao Group and entered the office, the entire Operation Management Department had already arrived. Except for Minister Ji Songtao, who had gone ahead to the large playground at the back of Tianjiao Group, everyone else was inside the office.

Everyone looked vibrant and lively as they tidied up their things in the office. Some were snacking, some fiddling with sunglasses, some cracking jokes—a scene of laughter and lively chatter.

"Vice Minister Chu."

"Morning!"

"Bro, you're here."

As soon as Chu Ge walked in, a warm chorus of greetings welcomed him.

The only one who didn't greet him was an unfamiliar face—a man in his twenties, with long hair and a long face, sporting a thick stubble on his chin, looking rather disheveled—standing next to Feifei.

"Vice Minister Chu, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Yu Zekai. He happened to be free today, and since the Corporate Sports Meet allows family members, I brought him along for fun."

"Zekai, this is our department's vice minister, Chu Ge."

Feifei walked over to Chu Ge, wearing a suitably polite smile, unlike her usual casual demeanor, as she introduced the two.

Chu Ge smiled and extended his hand, "Hello."

Yu Zekai glanced at Chu Ge, putting on a fake smile, making no move to shake Chu Ge's hand.

"Vice Minister Chu, haha, so renowned, I've heard so much about you. Finally see you in person today."

Yu Zekai's tone was far from friendly, carrying a somewhat sour note.

Seeing this attitude, Chu Ge got a sense of it; likely, Feifei had mentioned some things about him when they were together, which led this guy to have a resentment towards him.

Without revealing any dissatisfaction at Yu Zekai's attitude, Chu Ge just smiled, said, "Feel free to sit," and returned to his own seat.

The Corporate Sports Meet was to officially start at nine, the venue right at the large playground behind Tianjiao Group. There was still time; he wasn't in a hurry to go over.

Unlike Chu Ge's calm demeanor, Feifei's face turned somewhat sour; she never thought her boyfriend would be so disrespectful to Chu Ge. Chu Ge had already extended his hand, yet he acted so high-handedly.

The bustling office quieted for a moment because of this scene, as everyone shifted their attention to Yu Zekai. Lu Gang, on the other hand, directly frowned, his eyes showing clear displeasure.

Feeling her colleagues' gazes, Feifei felt even more uneasy. She walked over to Chu Ge with a few quick steps and gave an apologetic smile, "Vice Minister Chu, my boyfriend is like this with everyone, don't take it to heart."

Chu Ge waved his hand, "It's fine. By the way, what events did you all sign me up for?"

"Except for a basketball team event we put you as an alternate, the rest is just a two-person three-legged fun event. Vice Minister Chu, how's your health now? Can you participate?"

Chu Ge smiled, "No problem. Who is my partner?"

Seeing that Chu Ge didn't seem unhappy at all, Feifei also breathed a sigh of relief, touched her nose, and smiled, "Guess?"

"It couldn't be you, right?"

While Chu Ge and Feifei were talking, Lu Gang also came over, glanced at Yu Zekai with a displeased face, and smiled at Chu Ge, "Bro, you guessed it right, it's Feifei."

Feeling Lu Gang's provocative gaze, Yu Zekai frowned even more, and his already unhappy mood turned even worse.

However, he didn't expect that this was just the beginning of things that'd make him unhappy.

"Bro, you don't know. To participate in the two-person three-legged event with you, several girls in our office racked their brains. If it weren't for Feifei's suggestion to draw lots, who knows what they would have done to get you as a partner, right, girls?"

Leaning on Chu Ge's large desk, Lu Gang made a flamboyant gesture, glanced at Yu Zekai from the corner of his eye, and said with a slight lisp.

Since becoming sincerely impressed with Chu Ge, Lu Gang had been subconsciously mimicking Chu Ge's masculine charm. At this moment, the reason he made a flamboyant gesture and spoke with such a tone was that he found Yu Zekai's appearance annoying and intended to disgust him.

"Exactly, and the paper strips for drawing lots were made by Feifei."

"Yeah, and somehow, out of the six of us, Feifei drew you."

"Some people even suspect that Feifei cheated. You should have seen how happy she was; she blurted out, 'Chu Ge is mine!'"

"Feifei, just confess. What expert trick did you use back then?"

Other than Feifei herself and Mo Xiaoran, the other four girls chimed in after Lu Gang, each saying a sentence.

They weren't deliberately trying to make things difficult for Feifei, but as colleagues in the office, they had heard Feifei mention some unscrupulous things Yu Zekai had done.

Originally, they didn't have a good impression of Yu Zekai and thought it was a shame Feifei was with such a man, advising her to break it off.

At this moment, seeing Yu Zekai being so disrespectful to Chu Ge, they didn't hold back.

As the girls predicted, upon hearing their words, Yu Zekai's face turned increasingly grim, his whole demeanor akin to marinating in jealousy for years. His gaze altered, and even a sour air seemed to radiate from him head to toe.

Watching the girls help him with such veiled sarcasm, Chu Ge felt a bit dumbfounded, thinking they were making a big deal out of nothing.

Coughing twice, Chu Ge glanced at the time, and under Yu Zekai's eyes full of disgruntlement, changed the topic.

"The business sports meeting starts at nine, it's about time, let's head downstairs. The last one out, remember to lock up."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, everyone could see he obviously didn't want to argue with Yu Zekai. They chuckled, glanced at Yu Zekai, and then gathered their things to leave the office.

Feeling the contempt in those gazes, Yu Zekai grew more and more uneasy. When the office was left with only him and the visibly awkward Feifei, his face darkened completely.

"Zekai, what's wrong with you? I asked you here to join in the fun and relax a bit, so why are you picking a fight with our Vice Minister Chu? Do you still want me to do well here?"

Just as Yu Zekai was about to speak, Feifei started scolding with a resentful face.

Already in a bad mood, hearing Feifei's words made his anger flare up.

"What's wrong with me? Xia Feifei, I want to ask you, what's going on between you and that Vice Minister Chu? Tell me, what day recently have you not mentioned Chu Ge to me?"

Feifei frowned tightly, "Our Vice Minister Chu is just nice to us. What's wrong with me mentioning him to you? If you have the capability, make people say good things about you behind your back too!"

Yu Zekai's lip twitched and he let out a heavy snort through his nose.

"Am I your boyfriend or is he your boyfriend? Just now your colleagues ganged up and ridiculed me, and you didn't say a word in my defense. What do you mean by that? Is this how you handle things?"

Hearing the sharp voice beside her ear, Feifei chuckled irritably.

"Yu Zekai, this is how I handle things. Do whatever you want about it!"

Pushing and pulling Yu Zekai out of the office, Feifei locked the door with a stern face and strode away without looking back.
