For Qin Ruojing, the silver lining at this unfortunate moment is that Chu Ge is still asleep. If he were to wake up now and meet her gaze, she really wouldn't know how to face him.

She stealthily withdrew her hand, moved to her usual sleeping spot, and with a heart full of annoyance, she checked her pajamas inside the blanket to make sure all the buttons were done up, then glanced at Chu Ge again. This guy seemed to be still sleeping soundly.

"This bastard, is he the reincarnation of a sleeping god? Is he really asleep or just pretending? Doesn't he usually wake up very early?"

Thinking angrily in her heart, Qin Ruojing gritted her teeth; she really had the urge to kick Chu Ge off the bed.

Clearly, the two of them are just fake lovers, so how has their act progressed to this point?

Moreover, this situation is different from the last time; there's only the two of them in the room, and if Chu Ge did something to her while she was sleeping...

Although Qin Ruojing felt that given Chu Ge's usual character, it was unlikely he would do something like that, she was still chilled by the thought, the more she thought about it, the more annoyed and angrier she became. Finally, unable to bear it, she kicked Chu Ge under the covers.

"Chu Ge, you bastard, get up."

Chu Ge rubbed his sleepy eyes, as if he indeed just got woken up by that kick, turned his head in confusion, blinked, "What's wrong with you? Did you take gunpowder this early in the morning? Why the hell are you kicking me?"

After being questioned by Chu Ge, Qin Ruojing was at a loss for words. From his reaction, he seemed completely unaware of what had happened. But since she already kicked him, she needed to give him a reason.

"Why did I kick you? Why did you come back?"

Chu Ge scratched his head and yawned, "Wow, you scared me. I wasn't planning to come back, but Yaqi said if I didn't, it might leak to your sister, so she forced me to come back. I didn't expect you to act crazy so early in the morning!"

"When did you come back?"

"A bit past one, nearly two. Do you have anything else to ask, Miss Nutcase? Go ahead and ask all at once. Tong Yaqi is so considerate of you, and I'm being so diligent. Really, do we owe you something?"

Hearing this, Qin Ruojing felt a bit embarrassed deep down. After all, she's not an unreasonable person.

"After you came back, what did you do?" By the time she asked this, her tone was less harsh.

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, "Isn't that obvious? What else could I do? Sleep, of course."

Qin Ruojing was already less angry, but hearing Chu Ge say it so matter-of-factly caused her anger to flare up again. Since it's concerning her virtue, she sternly and tentatively asked, "Didn't you do anything else?"

Seeing Qin Ruojing's reaction, Chu Ge obviously knew what she was worried about and couldn't help but shake his head, amused and a bit exasperated, "Chairwoman, the more you talk, the less I understand. Am I supposed to do something before going to sleep?"

Qin Ruojing's expression froze, and she glared at Chu Ge, "You don't understand? Do you think I can believe that? Don't play dumb with me."

Chu Ge grinned and stopped teasing her, "Chairwoman, you just want to know if I touched you, right? Rest assured, I'm not Superman; my stamina is limited. Even if I wanted to, I wasn't in any condition to do so. After I came back, I didn't even turn on the light, just found a corner of the bed, and was out as soon as my head hit the pillow."

Chu Ge was very natural, and his gaze was sincere, which made Qin Ruojing finally breathe a sigh of relief. She gave him a glance before getting out of bed to freshen up.

After washing up, Qin Ruojing still hadn't seen Chu Ge emerge. She did a few deep breaths to adjust her mood and then returned to the bedroom, where Chu Ge had no intention of getting up, lazily lying in bed in another posture.

"Still not getting up? We need to head to Lidu University later, don't you need to prepare? Have you already sorted everything out for the recruitment?" Qin Ruojing came to the bedside and gave Chu Ge a slight shove on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, the recruitment fair doesn't start until ten. Everything I need is in my head; it definitely won't delay the main event. Let me sleep for just a little longer, ten minutes, just ten minutes, then I'll get up to make breakfast."

"Everything you need is in your head, are you sure?"

"Of course, I'm sure. If you don't believe me, I'll tell you all about it."

"Then go on, I'm listening."

Despite being slightly annoyed, Chu Ge started explaining some details about the campus recruitment materials he had prepared, speaking as if recounting a treasure trove.

Listening to him explain, Qin Ruojing gradually felt more at ease and snorted, "Knowing we have something to do today, you still wore yourself out yesterday. Can't you be a bit more mindful?"

"Come on, sis, how am I not mindful? Tong Yaqi will soon be part of Tianqing Company; I have to discuss things about the company with her, don't I? You weren't happy when I was passive at work, and now you're not happy when I'm proactive? Even a taskmaster isn't as strict as you. You shouldn't be called Qin Ruojing anymore, change your name to Qin the Taskmaster."

Chu Ge grumbled discontentedly, refusing to get out of bed.

"Yeah, right, you think I'll buy that?"

Seeing Chu Ge lingering in bed, Qin Ruojing grumbled a bit. Although it was her idea to send Chu Ge to Tong Yaqi's place yesterday, her embarrassment and anger hadn't completely faded away. She got up, not wanting Chu Ge to continue sleeping.

Initially, Qin Ruojing thought about pulling the blanket off, but after some thought, she decided against it.

The reason she did so was that she suddenly realized Chu Ge rarely ever stayed in bed. It was rare for him to want to linger today, and he was still thinking about making breakfast for her. Her heart felt warmly touched.

"Alright, you sleep. You don't need to worry about breakfast. I'll call you later."

Chu Ge had already planned to get out of bed, but he was stunned for a moment when Qin Ruojing said that.

"Thanks?"

Chu Ge, a bit puzzled, said, and Qin Ruojing had already turned and left.

Scratching his head, Chu Ge, though still perplexed, didn't think much more and continued to sleep soundly.

Qin Ruojing couldn't remember how long it had been since she last went out to buy breakfast. Usually, she'd either skip it, have Chu Ge make it, or just buy some bread and milk from a supermarket near the company.

Qin Ruojing bought some breakfast from the nearby morning market, divided it into three portions, placed it on the table, and called Chu Ge and Qin Ruoying to get up.

Called up by Qin Ruojing, Qin Ruoying groggily walked out of her bedroom, saw the steaming breakfast on the table, yawned, and muttered to herself, "Hmm, I must still be dreaming. I dreamed my elder sister bought breakfast, that's too unrealistic, what a nightmare!"

With that, Qin Ruoying leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes again.

Seeing Qin Ruoying make such a comment and start dozing off at the table, Qin Ruojing was fuming. What did she mean by saying dreaming about her buying breakfast was a nightmare? Wasn't that a bit too much? Is it such a terrifying concept?

Chu Ge had gotten dressed and walked out of the bedroom to witness this scene, which made him chuckle instantly.

Hearing Chu Ge's laughter, Qin Ruojing bit her lip in frustration, glaring at Chu Ge as if to say, "What's so funny?"

Then, she raised her hand and flicked Qin Ruoying's forehead, "Wake up, you brat."

Being flicked by Qin Ruojing, Qin Ruoying immediately opened her eyes, rubbed her forehead, looked at Qin Ruojing, then at the breakfast on the table, blinked in confusion, and then turned her head incredulously, looking at Qin Ruojing as if examining a monster.

"Sis? Huh? I'm not dreaming? Did you really buy breakfast?"

Qin Ruojing snorted, "What's so strange about that?"

Qin Ruoying exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Not strange? My goodness, what could be stranger than this?"

Then, she hurriedly ran into the room, yanked open the curtains, "But the sun hasn't risen from the west, has it?"

Muttering to herself, Qin Ruoying shook her head, stared at Qin Ruojing, and then walked out with a puzzled face.

Qin Ruojing was speechless, annoyed, and said, "What are you looking at? Are you going to eat or not?"

"Eat, eat, eat, but... sis, what exactly do you need me and brother-in-law to do for you? Is it climbing a mountain of swords or crossing a sea of flames? Just say it, otherwise, I really feel uneasy."

Qin Ruojing's eyelids twitched, utterly at a loss for words because of her sister. Could it be that her rare occasion of buying breakfast warranted such a fuss from her sister?

However, thinking from another perspective, Qin Ruojing felt particularly resigned.

Apparently, her buying breakfast would lead her sister to such thoughts. Even though a lot of it was just playful teasing, Qin Ruoying was genuinely surprised. Clearly, in her sister's mind, she was regarded as an out-and-out workaholic, seemingly detached from the realm of normal people.

"Brother-in-law, last night, exactly what happened to my sister? Is she really my sister?"

Hearing her sister say this, Qin Ruojing turned to look at Chu Ge, only to see him stroking his chin with a thoughtful look, as if seriously pondering the question, which left her even more speechless.

Nevertheless, Qin Ruojing forced a smile, glanced at Qin Ruoying, "You two, stop fooling around and sit down for breakfast. It's always your brother-in-law cooking, so me buying it once in a while is very normal, right? After all, I'm also a family member."

Chu Ge didn't tease Qin Ruojing any further. With a chuckle, he sat down at the dining table, gave her an encouraging look, and said, "Yes, well done, worth praising. Keep it up."

While Chu Ge said this, he observed Qin Ruoying with the corner of his eyes, still unsure of what exactly Qin Ruoying's gesture from last night meant.
