"Sis?"

Thinking Qin Ruojing wouldn't come back tonight, Qin Ruoying played until this late. Now seeing her sister's unfriendly face, she suddenly felt a bit guilty and sheepishly called out.

Qin Ruojing sat on the sofa without moving, "You only remember having me as your sister now?"

"You're my real sister, how could I not remember you? Oh dear, I'm in a hurry, I need to use the bathroom first."

Qin Ruoying let out an awkward laugh. Without waiting for Qin Ruojing to say anything else, she quickly retreated to the bathroom under the pretext of needing to go, leaving Chu Ge alone in the living room, sitting across from Qin Ruojing in an awkward silence.

"Chu Ge, you can really handle things, huh? You told me this morning you had everything under control. Is this your idea of 'control'? Do you know what time it is? Do you realize how strong the smell of alcohol is that you two brought in the house?"

Qin Ruojing's expression was cold, clearly showing genuine anger, her delicate eyebrows tightly furrowed together.

Although it was because of Qin Ruoying's strong insistence that Chu Ge agreed to take her out, as an honest man, Chu Ge naturally didn't want to make any excuses about it.

Facing Qin Ruojing's frosty gaze, Chu Ge grinned and said, "Xiao Jing, there's no need to be so angry, we just went out for a drink and some singing, nothing else."

"Wasn't the whole daytime enough for you two? Did you have to stay out until the middle of the night to come back? Haven't you heard of the recent major incidents in the city? What if something happened to Xiaoying, what would I do? What would our parents do?"

Even though Chu Ge drank a bit, his mind was still clear. He could naturally understand Qin Ruojing's concern for her family. Even being questioned like this head-on, he wasn't annoyed.

Imagining himself in her shoes, if he had a younger sister who stayed out with a man until late at night, he believed he would be just as upset.

Coming over to Qin Ruojing's side, Chu Ge smiled and said, "I was wrong, I admit my mistake, don't be angry, sweetie, it's not worth it. Are you tired? Let me give you a massage?"

"Massage what? Don't touch me! Just seeing you makes me angry, can't you act more properly?"

Qin Ruojing was still angry, she slapped away Chu Ge's hand that was reaching towards her shoulder with a "smack".

Despite the crisp sound, she immediately felt her words were a bit harsh. Her raised hand hesitated slightly, but she only bit her lip, swallowed her anger, and said nothing more.

Even though her hand was slapped away, Chu Ge didn't take it to heart, laughingly he said, "Does your hand hurt? Let me rub it for you?"

"No need! If you're so kind-hearted, you..."

"Qin Ruojing, are you done yet?"

Before Qin Ruojing could finish talking, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open. Qin Ruoying, who had heard the whole conversation, frowned and stepped out, positioning herself between Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing, glaring and shouting at her sister.

Chu Ge was a bit speechless at Qin Ruoying's abrupt interjection. He thought, why is she jumping in now? She's just exacerbating the situation when her sister is already upset. Why not just let her vent out the frustration?

But amidst the exasperation, Chu Ge also felt somewhat comforted. The sister-in-law, who had just left him alone moments ago, was ultimately standing up for him.

Qin Ruojing was momentarily stunned, then became even more furious. Of course, she knew that going out was likely her younger sister's idea. She never expected Qin Ruoying to shout at her instead of the other way around first.

"What do you mean am I done yet? Do you even know what time it is? Have you thought about what would happen if something happened to you? How I would explain it to our parents?"

Facing Qin Ruojing's gaze, Qin Ruoying immediately countered, "Something happening to me? With brother-in-law by my side, what could happen? Why are you yelling at brother-in-law? Besides, going out was my idea, he came along with me, and now he's making you happy. Why do you act so high and mighty? Is brother-in-law indebted to you? Do you believe that only brother-in-law spoils you like this? Try someone else and see what happens?"

Watching Qin Ruoying's indignant look, Chu Ge felt a bit embarrassed. His relationship with Qin Ruojing was fake to begin with, and if it caused any issues between the sisters because of him, what would that be?

"Xiao Ying, say less, your sister cares for you. She's only upset because she wants the best for you."

Chu Ge turned around, gently pulling Qin Ruoying aside, trying to calm her down.

Unfortunately, Qin Ruoying was genuinely angry at this point. His words of comfort didn't help at all; she glanced at him before turning her attention back to Qin Ruojing.

"Qin Ruojing, did you hear that? Do you see now? Brother-in-law is still speaking on your behalf, and you're still yelling at him. Aren't you scared that one day he'll have enough and leave you? Do you believe that besides brother-in-law, you'll never find a better man in your life?"

"I'm telling you, don't think just because you're a chairman, you're so great. He Qing is so rich and influential, but in front of my brother-in-law, isn't she as obedient as a kitten? You're so ungrateful. A man as outstanding as my brother-in-law could have as many women as he wants who want to be with him!"

At this moment, Qin Ruojing was truly infuriated. Her lips quivered a bit, and her eyes slightly reddened. Although it wasn't the first time she had argued with her sister, Qin Ruoying's reaction this time was indeed a bit too intense.

Chu Ge glanced at Qin Ruojing, then at Qin Ruoying, resignedly pulling Qin Ruoying back, "Xiaoying, stop it, go back to your room and sleep."

"No, brother-in-law, don't bother. Today, I just have to say a few things to her."

Qin Ruoying angrily shook off Chu Ge's hand and continued to look at Qin Ruojing.

"Qin Ruojing, honestly, the reason I still don't believe in the relationship between you and my brother-in-law is not because I think he isn't good enough for you; it's because I don't think you're good enough for him. I really don't understand how a woman like you, with no sense of life, could possibly attract a man as excellent as my brother-in-law?"

With a swipe of her hand, Qin Ruoying placed it over her heart, "Qin Ruojing, ask yourself, have you fulfilled the responsibilities of being his girlfriend? Have you ever cooked for him, watched a movie with him, done his laundry, or slept with him? If not, how can you demand this and that from him?"

Being repeatedly berated by her sister, Qin Ruojing finally couldn't bear it any longer and stood up abruptly, "Qin Ruoying! Are you done yet?"

"What? Guilty conscience? Out of words? Flustered and exasperated? Besides that statement, you can't say anything else? I'm telling you, I'm not done yet!"

Meeting Qin Ruojing's eyes, Qin Ruoying stepped forward two more steps, confronting her without backing down.

Seeing the two sisters, both upset and quarreling fiercely for his sake, Chu Ge genuinely felt a headache coming on. He furrowed his brows and said, "I mean, it's not that big of a deal, why don't you just let it go?"

"It's none of your business!"

At this point, Qin Ruojing was truly enraged and turned to shout at Chu Ge before resuming her stare-off with her sister.

Seeing Qin Ruoying's mouth open, seemingly ready to defend herself, Chu Ge felt even more of a headache. At this rate, if this sisterly fight continued, it might never end, and he feared the neighbors would soon come knocking.

Sighing internally, Chu Ge didn't say anything further but reached out his large hand and pulled Qin Ruojing aside.

At this moment, actions proved more effective than words.

Neither Qin Ruojing nor Qin Ruoying expected Chu Ge to suddenly make such a move. Both sisters were stunned, and by the time they recovered, Chu Ge had already pulled Qin Ruojing into the bedroom and shut the door with a "bang" using his foot.

Originally filled with anger, Qin Ruojing was suddenly surprised when Chu Ge pulled her in, her rage turning into shock, and she instinctively wanted to question him.

However, she had just gotten out the word "you" when Chu Ge leaned down and whispered softly, "I'm telling you, Chairman, enough is enough. If you keep this up, don't you think there's a risk of being exposed?"

Qin Ruojing was momentarily dumbfounded, then quickly sobered up. She had to admit, Chu Ge was right. With her fiery emotions earlier, she might have accidentally let something slip.

"I mean, as a big sister, can you at least act like one? Can't you let your sister have her way a bit? Sure, we came back a bit late, but wasn't I by her side? What's there to worry about? I didn't want to say it in front of Xiaoying, but can't you get a clue?"

As Qin Ruojing furrowed her brows, still feeling anxious, Chu Ge's "indignant" voice suddenly rang in her ears.

Seeing her dazed expression, Chu Ge chuckled and shook his head, winked at her, and leaned in to whisper, "Your sister is definitely listening at the door right now. Let's playact a bit, exchange a few fake arguments. If we suddenly quiet down, wouldn't that be too suspicious? Just keep the volume low enough for her to hear."

Looking at Chu Ge's exaggerated expressions, all of Qin Ruojing's anger dissipated completely, and instead of being upset, she burst into laughter.

"You rascal, how do you come up with these tricks? I really wonder if your brain structure is different from normal people!"

Qin Ruojing whispered, then "retorted," "How can I not worry? You're not Superman! She's my sister! My flesh and blood sister!"

Chu Ge grinned, giving Qin Ruojing a satisfied look, then "rebuked," "Oh? Feeling bold today, huh? You dare talk back? I'll tell you what, it's just the two of us here now, let's see how I handle you!"

At this moment, just as Chu Ge predicted, Qin Ruoying had her ear pressed against Qin Ruojing's bedroom door, and hearing these sounds, she was utterly astonished.

Oh my! So... my brother-in-law is actually this domineering?
