I don't know if Qin Ruoying genuinely wants to help, or if she's just not over the novelty of pretending to be Qin Ruojing to confuse Chu Ge; from the moment Chu Ge started cooking until the three of them finished eating, she never left Chu Ge's side.

The saying goes, "the road rises a foot, the devil rises ten," so how could Chu Ge not be aware of the little schemes in Qin Ruoying's heart? His eyes unobtrusively marked the two women, constantly ensuring he knew exactly who was who, to make sure he wouldn't make another mistake.

Of course, Chu Ge's attention wasn't focused for nothing; with his carefulness, they managed to finish dinner with no surprises, without showing any flaws.

That evening, Chu Ge used the excuse of being tired from social gatherings over the past few days, took a shower, and returned early to Qin Ruojing's bedroom, lying down on the soft bed, enjoying a moment's peace, thinking how busy these days have been...

Thinking back to when Qin Ruoying wasn't around, he was so relaxed, living a comfortable life; but as soon as Qin Ruoying arrived, he was back to shouldering this task, constantly scheming with her.

But honestly, all this back and forth is quite amusing and somewhat fulfilling.

"Crack."

Qin Ruojing finished washing the dishes and returned to the bedroom, casually closing the door behind her.

Even though there's a ninety percent chance that it's Qin Ruojing who came in, Chu Ge really wants to discuss strategies with her, but he doesn't let his guard down, pretending to sleep without making a sound.

"This guy can get tired? Who knew marriage would wear him out like this? Wanted to talk to him about He Qing's company's matters, guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Qin Ruojing stood in the room for a while, looked at Chu Ge's steady breathing, and thought he was really asleep. She muttered to herself softly, her gaze showing a bit of softness, a bit of concern; Qin Ruoying wasn't there, so these feelings were evidently genuine.

Listening to her words, Chu Ge was certain it was indeed Qin Ruojing, as Qin Ruoying had no idea he was a company president yet.

"I'm not made of iron; why wouldn't I get tired? No need to wait until tomorrow to talk about the company; right now..."

Having confirmed it was Qin Ruojing who entered, Chu Ge chuckled, opened his eyes, and sat up from the bed. But just as he started talking, his words got stuck in his throat as he looked at what was happening.

Qin Ruojing was actually unbuttoning her pajamas!

Thinking Chu Ge was already asleep, she suddenly heard his voice and was taken aback, shivering involuntarily, clearly scared out of her wits.

However, before Chu Ge could say anything more, Qin Ruojing suddenly reacted, her eyes widened, her mouth opened instinctively, clearly about to let out a scream in the next second.

Seeing this, Chu Ge didn't have time to worry about any awkwardness. He jumped off the bed in less than a second, covering Qin Ruojing's half-uttered "ah" with his left hand, while making a hush gesture with his right.

With her mouth muffled, being the woman she was, Qin Ruojing instinctively bit down without thinking, even though she realized while biting that Chu Ge wasn't going to do anything to her, just preventing her shout from reaching Qin Ruoying.

"Tss..."

Qin Ruojing's bite was quite fierce, causing Chu Ge to inhale sharply in pain, his brows knitting together instantly.

Once Qin Ruojing let go, Chu Ge couldn't help but rub the two rows of teeth marks left on his left hand as he grumbled quietly, "Big sis, are you a dog or something?"

Despite the awkwardness, while looking at the bite marks, which even made her feel pain, Qin Ruojing retorted with frustration, "Who told you to scare me suddenly?"

Chu Ge shook his head speechlessly, thinking to himself how unlucky he was, "I didn't know what you were going to do."

Upon hearing Chu Ge's words, although Qin Ruojing knew he was telling the truth, she was still very annoyed, "You... you still talk! Hurry and turn around?"

Chu Ge said no more, turning around as instructed.

"So you weren't asleep just now?"

After fastening her buttons, Qin Ruojing finally sat down on the bed next to Chu Ge, asking indignantly.

Chu Ge flicked his sore, burning left hand, replying with much exasperation, "It's because your sister frightened me, so I pretended to sleep, trying to see the situation first. I didn't expect that as soon as I confirmed it was you, you'd start undressing right under my nose."

Qin Ruojing felt even more frustrated. Although this was indeed what happened, hearing it from Chu Ge felt so awkward. She didn't do it on purpose. After all, this was just an accident, wasn't it?

Blame Chu Ge? It really wasn't his fault. Chu Ge didn't do anything wrong. If there's anyone to blame, it can only be her sister.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, "Weren't you taking off your clothes just now? Or were you putting them on?"

"What do you mean 'or'? I was putting my clothes on! It was an accident. I just..."

Qin Ruojing stopped halfway through her sentence, unable to continue. This topic was just too embarrassing for her.

Moreover, what made Qin Ruojing even more frustrated was that while she was talking, she suddenly remembered the time she bought crabs for Chu Ge. It was only a few days ago, and now such an awkward incident had happened again.

Chu Ge suddenly realized and couldn't help but feel a bit speechless. He touched his nose and awkwardly laughed, diverting the topic, "By the way, didn't you say you had something to ask me? What is it?"

Talking about business finally alleviated some of Qin Ruojing's embarrassment. She rolled her eyes at Chu Ge and said, "He Qing handed that company over to you. Aren't you, this big CEO, being a bit too irresponsible?"

Chu Ge innocently shrugged his shoulders, "Huh? How am I irresponsible?"

Qin Ruojing shook her head, half angry, half amused, "You still have the nerve to ask? If I didn't bring it up, were you not planning to tell me anything about that company? It's supposedly affiliated with the Tianjiao Group, even if only in name, but I, as the chairperson, don't even know where the company is. Isn't that a bit ridiculous?"

Chu Ge scratched his head, "The company is on Tianqing Street, Xingping Road. I genuinely forgot the door number, but if you follow the road, it's easy to find. Last time I went, the building had just started its renovation. I guess it's probably not finished yet."

Qin Ruojing was left speechless. This was the first time she had met a CEO who couldn't even remember his company's door number. How could someone be so careless?

"Now that He Qing is gone, who is watching the renovation progress of that building? As a CEO, are you really going to ignore it completely?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "Who knows? Maybe the Urban Construction Bureau? Or some deputy mayor? Besides, even when He Qing was here, do you think she would personally oversee such a trivial matter? What's more, that company was for her brother. If he hasn't hurried to find me, and the company hasn't officially started operations, I'm certainly not in a rush."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Qin Ruojing rubbed her eyebrows, feeling more speechless.

The Urban Construction Bureau? Or a deputy mayor? Supervising a building project? How absurd does that sound?

However, while such a thing would be outrageously exaggerated for an average person, since it's related to He Qing, it's really not impossible. People of this level indeed can't be understood with common sense.

No matter how speechless, Qin Ruojing's sense of responsibility was always strong. She definitely couldn't be as careless as Chu Ge. With a slight sigh in her heart, she put on a serious face and spoke up.

"How you and He Qing's brother want to handle it is your business, but since He Qing entrusted this matter to me as well, I cannot betray her trust in me."

Qin Ruojing paused, thought for a moment, and then continued, "How about this, you take me to check it out tomorrow. If her brother is available, let me meet him as well. He Qing has been away for several days, and it's time to put this matter on the agenda. If she asks about it over the phone, at least I'll have something to report to her."

Chu Ge didn't mind about this matter and nodded, "That shouldn't be a problem. What about your sister? Won't I need to accompany her?"

"She's currently masquerading as me. If she stays with us, the possibility of being exposed is too high. I intend to send her away for a few days. Coincidentally, the Tianjiao Film and Television crew is heading to another city for filming tomorrow. They're expected to leave Lidu for three to five days. If she goes with the crew, it temporarily solves the trouble between us. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Chu Ge's eyes lit up, "That's indeed a good idea. But no matter how well we plan, if she doesn't agree, it's all for nothing. Do you think she'd want to go? And she looks exactly like you. Aren't you worried that people might mistake her for you and cause some trouble?"

Qin Ruojing shook her head, "You can rest assured. I'll notify Tianjiao Film and Television. Even if she loves to mess around, she wouldn't cause a problem with something like this. My sister does understand the concept of priorities. The only issue now is whether she's willing to leave."

"I hope so. If she really leaves for a few days, I can finally relax for once. This is such a headache every day."

Seeing Chu Ge's hopeful look, Qin Ruojing felt another surge of annoyance. Even though it wasn't the first time Chu Ge showed that expression, indicating his frustration at pretending to be a couple with her, she found that no matter how many times she saw it, she'd feel her teeth clench.

It was as if being with her and her sister was such a massive bother for him. If it was someone else, they'd probably laugh themselves awake dreaming about a situation like this.

But then again, she wouldn't give such an opportunity to anyone else.
