Looking at Qin Ruojing's worried expression, Chu Ge internally sighed, as expected.

Tough on the outside but soft on the inside, clearly doing things for others' good, but even if misunderstood, it doesn't matter. This is the Qin Ruojing he knows.

"Even if that arcade belongs to Liger Group, my sister and I were just playing there for a bit, aren't you making a big deal out of nothing?"

Qin Ruojing showed a slight bitter smile and replied evasively, "Chu Ge, the reason I've managed to get my business to this level is by being cautious at every step, weeding out problems at the slightest hint. The waters in Lidu City run deep. Forget it, telling you this is pointless, go back to your room and rest."

Seeing that Qin Ruojing had no intention of continuing the topic, Chu Ge didn't ask further, but just as he turned around, Qin Ruojing's voice sounded from behind again.

"Keep an eye on Xiaoying, if she's really pouting and wants to leave tonight, help convince her to stay. If she wants to leave, let it be tomorrow during the day."

"Got it."

"Thanks."

With his back to Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge smiled, genuinely feeling that Qin Ruoying is lucky to have such a sister.

Chu Ge pushed open the kitchen door and immediately saw Qin Ruoying stomping out of the room, carrying a suitcase, heading towards the door determinedly.

"Xiaoying, you're not seriously thinking about leaving now, are you?"

"Someone doesn't welcome me, if I don't leave now, I might just get kicked out. I have a bit of self-awareness, you know."

Qin Ruoying's voice carried a touch of stubbornness and a hint of grievance, clearly speaking for Qin Ruojing in the kitchen to hear.

Looking at Qin Ruoying's full-on sulky manner, Chu Ge scratched his nose, "Just as well, I ate a bit too much. Let's go for a walk together."

Taking the suitcase from Qin Ruoying's hand, leaving it by the door, Chu Ge smiled at her under her stubborn gaze, "Give your brother-in-law some face?"

Half pushing and half yielding, Qin Ruoying eventually didn't go back for the suitcase, and walked out of the door with Chu Ge.

Every day in Lidu's summer is long. Although it was already past seven in the evening, the sunset still hung in the sky, showering a gentle golden light.

Walking side by side with Qin Ruoying on the clean asphalt road in the community, Chu Ge didn't say anything comforting, but instead told her a few jokes. Given Qin Ruoying's mood right now, she wouldn't listen even if he did say something.

When Qin Ruoying's face finally showed some signs of a smile, she spoke up at last.

"Brother-in-law, what do you really see in my sister? With her temper, how do you stand it?"

"Your sister is beautiful and rich. The fact that she fancies someone like me is already enough to make me feel flattered. As for her little temper, that's nothing. Who doesn't have a little temper?"

"Ugh, so what if she's rich? The money she first used to start her company was all from a lottery win, just pure luck. Besides, brother-in-law, you're so outstanding, you're more than a match for my sister. Actually, you're such a waste for her. Even if you don't want my sister, you could definitely find someone better."

Chu Ge laughed, "I didn't even know I was so outstanding until you said it. Maybe I should give it a try someday. If I really find someone better, then I won't want your sister."

Hearing that Chu Ge not only didn't defend Qin Ruojing but also agreed with her, Qin Ruoying suddenly stopped in her tracks, "Gosh! I was just saying, are you really planning on doing that?"

Chu Ge stroked his chin, "Honestly, I hadn't thought about it until now, but after hearing you, I'm starting to consider it. It might actually be a good idea."

Hearing this, Qin Ruoying immediately objected, "Brother-in-law, if you really dare to do that, I will turn hostile with you!"

Chu Ge said in surprise, "Didn't you just say my sister is too much for someone like me?"

Qin Ruoying immediately retorted, "Though my sister has a temper, she's just sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. She's actually a really good person! You're lucky she fancies you, you should be grateful!"

Chu Ge laughed again. After all, they are siblings. A few seconds ago, Qin Ruoying was criticizing Qin Ruojing, but as soon as Chu Ge agreed with her, she immediately sided with her sister.

Seeing Chu Ge's smile, Qin Ruoying realized what was going on, stomped her foot playfully, "Brother-in-law, you're too cunning, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"How am I cunning?"

"What do you think?"

Chu Ge shrugged with an innocent expression, "If I knew, I wouldn't ask, right?"

Watching him act so genuine, Qin Ruoying couldn't keep a straight face and, after a huff, started laughing again.

Seeing Qin Ruoying genuinely laugh, Chu Ge also smiled. Obviously, his strategy was very successful, as Qin Ruoying finally settled the anger in her heart towards her sister.

Even though he came out intending to speak on Qin Ruojing's behalf, given Qin Ruoying's initial mood, it wouldn't have mattered how well he praised her sister; she would have had plenty of rebuttals ready for him.

However, guiding Qin Ruoying to speak well of her sister on her own made all the difference.

"Brother-in-law, you're so bad!"

Realizing she fell into Chu Ge's trap, Qin Ruoying said dejectedly, and then raised her fist to give Chu Ge a punch.

Feigning a pained expression, Chu Ge rubbed his chest where Qin Ruoying had just hit him and exaggeratedly said, "Xiaoying, what martial art did you practice? Could this punch be the legendary Beidou Divine Fist? It gave me internal injuries directly. I didn't realize you're actually a master!"

Chu Ge's acting skills have always been top-notch. Just looking at his current expression, anyone would think he truly suffered some serious internal injury.

However, Qin Ruoying knew how much strength she had used, and she couldn't help but find it even more amusing.

"Hmph hmph hmph, didn't you see? I'll let you deceive my feelings again! Take another Mountain-Overturning Sea-Overturning!"

While speaking, Qin Ruoying made an exaggerated move, twirling her hands like a windmill, and then slapped towards Chu Ge's chest.

"Ah!"

Chu Ge "screamed" miserably, staggered back a few steps, and then fell to the ground in an extremely "weakened" state. He raised his right hand towards Qin Ruoying, his fingers trembling a few times before dropping down, and his eyes gradually closed.

With a bit of ketchup at the corner of his mouth, he'd definitely be like the defeated character in a martial arts drama duel, the one who doesn't even get a dying line.

Seeing Chu Ge fall to the ground just to make her happy, Qin Ruoying suddenly felt a bit guilty.

"Brother-in-law, get up quickly, the ground is dirty."

Patted the dust off his pants, Chu Ge stood up with a cheerful smile, "Not mad at your sister anymore? Shall we go home?"

Qin Ruoying pouted, "Brother-in-law, talking about that is boring, I don't want to go back now, it makes me seem like I gave in so easily. Let her reflect at home for a while by herself."

"Shall we continue strolling around the neighborhood then?"

"Just strolling is boring, since we're already out and not being watched by her, wouldn't it be a waste not to do something fun?"

Chu Ge sweat-dropped, Qin Ruoying's words were so amusing, it was as if he, the brother-in-law, was planning to lead her, the sister-in-law, into some mischief.

"So where do you want to go? Tell me, I'll consider it."

"How about a bar for drinks?"

"Don't mess around, do you believe I'll give you a Sunflower Acupoint Hand and carry you back home?"

"Brother-in-law, you know this term?"

"Saw it on TV the other day, that drama also had your Mountain-Overturning Sea-Overturning move just now. To be honest, the palm you slapped had that vibe. Alright, stop talking, hurry and think where you want to go play so we can go and return early."

"Then... find a karaoke to sing? Forget it, just the two of us isn't interesting. How about a cinema to watch a movie?"

Chu Ge pondered for a moment, watching a movie seemed reasonable, just a light-on, light-off affair, and not too long, so he nodded.

Seeing Chu Ge agree, Qin Ruoying's face immediately lit up with joy, and they left immediately, hailing a taxi to the nearest cinema.

At the cinema, after much picking, Qin Ruoying finally chose a supposedly very scary horror film, with the soonest show at 8 PM.

For Qin Ruoying's choice of a horror film, Chu Ge was genuinely speechless.

Usually, when a man and woman go to watch a movie, it's more common for the man to choose a horror film, so that when the girl gets scared, he has the chance to be close.

But now, for Qin Ruoying, despite having comedy or romance films available, she actively chose a horror film. Could it be she's the one planning to take advantage?

"I say, Xiaoying, are you sure you want to watch this? Aren't you scared?"

"Well, honestly, I'm a bit scared. Before I came to Lidu, I heard about this film. A few friends I know said they didn't dare to go to the bathroom alone at night after watching it."

Chu Ge was even more speechless, "If you're scared, let's choose another one. We're here to relax, not to pay for fear."

Qin Ruoying chuckled, "It's okay, let's watch this one. Isn't that why you're here? Brother-in-law, surely you're not scared too, right?"

Chu Ge amusingly shook his head, "Not scared, but I'm not interested in this kind of film either."

"As long as you're not scared, then let's go with this."

Seeing Qin Ruoying insist, although Chu Ge was speechless, he didn't say anything more and went to buy two movie tickets.

While waiting for the movie to start, Chu Ge sent Qin Ruojing a text message, bought two boxes of popcorn and two large cups of cola, and it didn't take long before it was showtime.
