Qin Ruojing was pleasantly surprised, but her face showed a slightly helpless smile, "No, I know you're capable, I'm not worrying about nothing. So, are you going to take this public-funded trip opportunity or not? It's a rare chance."

Chu Ge thought for a moment and said, "Just me going?"

Qin Ruojing immediately replied, "Of course not, I'm going too."

"Just the two of us?"

Qin Ruojing couldn't tell if it was psychological, but she felt that Chu Ge's expression seemed a bit odd when he said those three words.

Feeling a bit guilty, Qin Ruojing quickly added, "I plan to have Yaqi join us as well."

In fact, attending the boss training class in the provincial city was already on Qin Ruojing's schedule. She originally planned to go alone, but because Chu Ge hit someone, she had this idea, discussed it with Tong Yaqi, who also strongly agreed.

However, according to Tong Yaqi, it would be best if only she and Chu Ge went, but if it were really just the two of them, Qin Ruojing felt a bit uneasy.

In Qin Ruojing's view, it's still better to bring Tong Yaqi along, so she could talk to her at any time.

Chu Ge pondered for a while, thinking a little trip wouldn't be bad, and smiled as he nodded, "Alright, we'll do as you say."

As soon as Chu Ge spoke, Qin Ruoying came out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly steamed buns, placing it on the dining table along with three pairs of chopsticks and three small dishes, saying to Qin Ruojing displeasedly, "Sis, you're too sneaky, simply taking advantage of your position for personal gain, unfair competition."

Chu Ge was taken aback, and Qin Ruojing blushed.

Qin Ruoying sat down on Chu Ge's left, quirking an eyebrow playfully, "Brother-in-law, you probably don't know, actually my sister..."

"Xiaoying!"

Qin Ruojing interrupted her sister.

Qin Ruoying smirked, "What? You won't even let people speak?"

Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at her sister, "I'll handle my own affairs, what are you messing around for?"

Qin Ruoying's grin widened, "Then why don't you tell brother-in-law?"

"I will tell! Chu Ge, listen up!" Qin Ruojing stood up suddenly from the table, her eyes fixed intently on Chu Ge.

Sandwiched between the sisters, Chu Ge already felt the atmosphere was quite odd, and now being stared at by Qin Ruojing, he felt a bit uneasy, managed an awkward laugh, and said weakly, "What's up?"

Qin Ruojing bit her lip, her pretty face flushed red, staring at Chu Ge for a good seven or eight seconds before finally squeezing out a sentence.

"You... should eat more buns."

"Hahaha!" Qin Ruoying burst out laughing, clutching her stomach, her hand slapping the table, laughing heartily.

Chu Ge was speechless, he thought Qin Ruojing's build-up was so intense, yet she came out with such an anticlimactic line.

Chu Ge rubbed his nose, amused and helplessly asked, "Chairman, you went through so much trouble just to tell me that?"

Qin Ruojing pursed her lips, blushed, and shook her head, "Actually, there's something else, let's eat first, I'll tell you after we're done."

Afterward, she gave her sister another glance, sat back down in her chair, secretly took a deep breath, sipped some water, and calmed her embarrassed emotions.

Normally, Qin Ruojing handled work matters with decisiveness and directness. However, in this situation, she seemed to change into a different person, becoming slow to respond and somewhat indecisive, qualities she herself disliked.

Especially when Qin Ruojing caught a glimpse of Chu Ge's bewildered face and her sister's amused laughter from the corner of her eye, she suddenly felt that her decision to come clean might have been hasty.

However, by this point, she was riding the tiger and had no way to back down. Regardless, after Chu Ge finished his meal, she absolutely couldn't shrink back!

With the odd atmosphere and recalling Qin Ruojing's strange behavior these last few days, Chu Ge already had some speculation in his mind, but he didn't say much and pretended to know nothing, picking up a bun to eat.

Qin Ruoying laughed for a moment, cast a playful glance at her sister, and then also lowered her head to start eating.

The meal didn't take long to finish, and as soon as Chu Ge set down his chopsticks, Qin Ruoying immediately said, "Brother-in-law, are you full?"

Chu Ge responded with an "Hmm," and Qin Ruoying quickly turned her gaze toward Qin Ruojing.

"Sis, didn't you have something to say to brother-in-law? Go ahead."

Qin Ruojing took a breath, hesitated for two seconds, finally gritted her teeth, and said the words she had been stewing over for a while.

"Chu Ge, after spending time together, I feel... the two of us are actually quite compatible. So, why don't we get together?"

Although Chu Ge had some suspicions about this, he was still speechless when Qin Ruojing actually said it out loud.

Of course, he didn't believe for a second that Qin Ruojing was genuinely interested in him. Putting everything else aside, just looking at her face, clearly saying something she didn't mean, it was obvious she was just acting.

As for why Qin Ruojing was acting, it was definitely because Qin Ruoying had previously said she wanted to pursue him, and to deter her sister's idea, she decided to do something so ridiculous.

Chu Ge stood up, gave a helpless smile, and said, "Chairman, this joke is not funny at all. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Compared to Chu Ge, Qin Ruojing found this even more speechless. It took her a lot of effort to say this, and yet his reaction was like this?

Despite the speechlessness, seeing Chu Ge about to leave, Qin Ruojing hurriedly stood up too and urgently said, "I'm not joking with you. I'm serious."

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, noncommittal.

Qin Ruoying, on the other hand, giggled on the side, wearing a face full of "I knew it would be like this."

"Sis, you really should look in the mirror. You would know how fake your expression is right now. Even I can see through it at a glance. Are you underestimating brother-in-law?"

"I... I really am serious. Why don't you believe me?" Qin Ruojing ignored her sister's teasing and immediately said again.

Chu Ge scratched his head, looking more and more helpless, while Qin Ruoying laughed even more heartily.

Looking at Chu Ge's helpless face and listening to her sister's laughter, Qin Ruojing felt a strong sense of defeat.

She really couldn't understand. Given her qualities, she had said so much, and if it were another man, he would probably be overjoyed by now. How could Chu Ge remain so indifferent?

"Brother-in-law, you see, right? My sister just doesn't want to give me a chance to pursue you, so she came up with this idea. She's probably wondering why you're reacting like this."

Qin Ruoying giggled, grabbed one of Chu Ge's arms, and said to Qin Ruojing, "Sis, give it up. I'm not so easily fooled. I will definitely be with brother-in-law."

Sensing the determined attitude of Qin Ruoying, Chu Ge's mouth twitched. Why did he feel that Qin Ruoying was serious about being with him?

The same words heard in Qin Ruojing's ears immediately brought her back from her disappointment. She quickly grabbed Chu Ge's other arm from the right, countering, "The one who should give up is you. Chu Ge is mine. Don't even think about him!"

"Tch! Brother-in-law is not an object. You say he's yours just because you say so? It's not like you're genuinely in love with him. Even if you mean it, who he's actually with depends on who he likes."

Qin Ruoying retorted defiantly, pulling Chu Ge's arm toward her.

"How am I not serious? I am serious. I want to be with him, and he will definitely be with me."

Qin Ruojing also tugged at Chu Ge's arm, glaring at Qin Ruoying angrily.

Stuck between this pair of sisters and yanked back and forth like a tug of war, Chu Ge was at the end of his wits. It seemed if he didn't say something, this sisterly argument would never end.

"I say... could you two let go first? Listen to me for a bit? If you keep pulling like this, my arms won't be able to stand it."

Upon hearing Chu Ge say this, Qin Ruojing became very embarrassed, her cheeks heating up, finally realizing how absurd her actions were, and quickly let go.

Qin Ruoying was much more straightforward than Qin Ruojing. She smiled smugly after her sister let go, then released Chu Ge's arm, "Brother-in-law, go ahead."

Chu Ge looked at Qin Ruojing and then at Qin Ruoying, and suddenly said, "Um, I've got something to do, so I'll head out first."

With that, before the sisters could react, he quickly dashed to the door, not even properly putting on his shoes, and pushed the door open and left.

It wasn't until he closed the door that the sisters' voices rang out inside the room.

"Chu Ge, come back!"

"Brother-in-law, come back!"

Chu Ge, of course, wasn't coming back, pretending he didn't hear them, and bolted out of there faster than a rabbit. Staying in that situation would only mean trouble for himself, right?

Inside, Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying both chased to the door, each reaching out a hand to push it open, but unfortunately, there was no sign of Chu Ge in sight.

Qin Ruojing stomped her foot in anger, while Qin Ruoying lightly chuckled, shook her head, turned around, and leisurely returned to the couch, relaxing as she sat down.

"Sis, did you see? The moment brother-in-law heard you wanted to be with him, he was scared away. You should finally know what kind of impression you leave in brother-in-law's mind, right?"

"Why don't you say you scared him off?" Qin Ruojing turned to glare at her sister, speaking in annoyance.

Qin Ruoying chuckled, "You know full well who scared brother-in-law away, and I won't argue with you on this. But I must say, fighting me over brother-in-law, you definitely won't win. Do you want to know why?"

Qin Ruojing furrowed her delicate brows, defiantly responding, "Why?"
