Qin Ruoying's expression, asking such a question, really baffled Chu Ge. Why did she seem to have such a strong opinion against him? It made no sense at all. Did he do something wrong to Qin Ruoying?

There was nothing he could do but to ask, "Uh? What did I do?"

Qin Ruoying's face flushed slightly red, she glared at Chu Ge without a good mood and said angrily, "Brother-in-law, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Don't you know the good deed you did yourself?"

Chu Ge blinked, combined with Qin Ruoying's expression and tone, he pondered quietly, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, making him sweat for what he guessed.

However, even though he guessed what Qin Ruoying was referring to, Chu Ge didn't reveal it. He still put on a confused look and asked puzzled, "The good deed I did? I did a lot of good deeds, which one are you referring to?"

Qin Ruoying's face turned even redder, but since the conversation had reached this point, she had to continue. Besides, this matter related to the happiness of her and her sister.

"Brother-in-law, you're playing dumb, aren't you? If you talk like this, it really lacks taste. I always saw you as a model of a man, but you're actually someone who doesn't own up after taking advantage," she huffed.

Qin Ruoying's words confirmed Chu Ge's suspicion, almost making him laugh out loud. But seeing such an embarrassed expression on Qin Ruoying's face was rare, and he didn't want to end this topic so soon; it was too amusing.

Chu Ge mimicked confusion and continued, "Xiaoying, what exactly are you talking about? What kind of person am I?"

Qin Ruoying's face finally turned a bit ugly, her gaze steady, her brow furrowed, staring intently into Chu Ge's eyes, she said, "Brother-in-law, do you really have to make me spell it out?"

Chu Ge shrugged, and said confusedly, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Seeing Qin Ruoying's pretty face filled with disappointment and anger, Chu Ge found it increasingly amusing. When she didn't respond, he suddenly acted shocked and hesitated as he said, "You're… you're not talking about that, are you? You already know?"

Qin Ruoying was furious, thinking, now you realized? Do you think my mother and I are deaf? For several days, you and my sister made such a racket in the room, how could we not hear?

Qin Ruoying glared at Chu Ge again, huffing, "Of course I know, otherwise, why would I ask you when you and my sister are getting married?"

Chu Ge scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, "Actually, it's not my fault either, and besides, what does this have to do with whether I want to marry your sister?"

Qin Ruoying was suddenly taken aback, her brows furrowed even tighter, her gaze full of disbelief, she opened her mouth but said nothing.

In her impression, although Chu Ge seemed a bit unreliable, he was actually a very responsible man. What's wrong with him today? How could he say such irresponsible things? What did he take her sister for?

Pretending not to notice Qin Ruoying's anger, Chu Ge's expression showed a bit of helplessness and grievance, he touched his nose, holding back laughter, and muttered to himself.

"It was just one time I forgot to bring money to a restaurant, in the end, I had no choice but to dine and dash, sneaking out. You're not the restaurant owner, why make such a big deal, going after me like this?"

Looking at Chu Ge's helpless face, Qin Ruoying was speechless beyond words. What on earth was this, who was asking whether he had dined and dashed before?

With Chu Ge dodging the topic so much, whether he did it on purpose or really didn't get it, Qin Ruoying didn't plan to beat around the bush anymore, she stomped her foot furiously, asking straightforwardly what was on her mind.

"Brother-in-law! I'm talking about you and my sister… Ah, aren't you planning to be responsible for her?"

Chu Ge finally couldn't hold it in, and let out a chuckle.

Qin Ruoying was already quite upset, seeing Chu Ge laughing, she got really mad, glaring at him, saying: "Brother-in-law, I'm seriously asking you this question, what's so funny?"

Chu Ge stopped laughing after a while, slightly smirked and said, "So, in the end, you wanted to ask this, huh, Xiaoying? Didn't your sister tell you? Nothing happened between us, you're just overthinking it."

Qin Ruoying suddenly froze, blinked her eyes, clearly showing disbelief, shaking her head, and said: "No way, during the nights when my mom was here, you two made such a racket, how could that be fake?"

"Just because there was noise doesn't mean it's real. We had to make some sounds to get past you and your mom's scrutiny."

"Ah? I'm dizzy, no way, right? You two… went that far? My sister can even make such… such outrageous sounds?"

The anger on Qin Ruoying's face turned into astonishment, staring at Chu Ge in a daze, speechless.

"Oh come on, I'm telling the truth. Your sister will probably be back soon, if you don't believe me, ask her."

After teasing Qin Ruoying for a while, Chu Ge felt it was enough, nodded, said something amusing, and went back to chopping vegetables.

Qin Ruoying was stunned for quite a while before finally digesting this information that shook her to the core, but her feelings at this moment were just unbelievably complicated.

She was a bit helpless and depressed, yet simultaneously relieved, then somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and it seemed... there was even a little bit of secret joy.

"So that's how it is, does that mean I still have a chance?"

Qin Ruoying's expression changed several times before finally settling into a beaming smile. She put down the cucumber she was about to mix into the salad, walked over behind Chu Ge, and grabbed one of his hands as she spoke.

Just at that moment, the sound of keys unlocking the door came from the entrance, and without thinking it was obvious that Qin Ruojing was back.

"Xiaoying, let go quickly, your sister is back."

Even though the feeling of being held by Qin Ruoying wasn't unpleasant, if Qin Ruojing were to see this scene, it would probably cause some trouble. Chu Ge looked back at Qin Ruoying helplessly and said in a low voice.

"Brother-in-law, anyway we're both single, me holding your hand, what's the problem? You don't need to feel embarrassed."

Qin Ruoying's voice wasn't exactly loud, but it wasn't as quiet as Chu Ge's. It was just a normal speaking tone, quite bold and confident.

The door creaked open, Qin Ruojing walked in, hearing every word her sister said clearly.

Originally, when Qin Ruojing had just returned, her face had a faint hint of a smile, but as she heard these words, something went clunk in her heart, and the faint smile vanished from her lips.

And when she walked into the kitchen and saw this scene, her brows, just as pretty as her sister's, immediately furrowed slightly, and her eyes narrowed a little.

In her sight, Chu Ge looked helpless, standing very straight, Qin Ruoying holding Chu Ge's hand, gazing warmly, her profile facing the kitchen door, and even when their eyes met, there wasn't a hint of panic or shame. They still had a blissful, sweet expression.

"Qin Ruoying, what are you up to again?"

"Nothing much. Brother-in-law is working so hard to prepare dinner for us. I can't cook, just keeping him company and chatting."

"Keeping your brother-in-law company? Like this?" Qin Ruojing's tone carried more coldness and interrogation.

Facing her sister's gaze, Qin Ruoying showed no sign of guilt, lips curled up as if finding the question amusing and not worth answering.

In this strange atmosphere, Chu Ge wisely remained silent. In this situation, it seemed anything he said wouldn't be appropriate. Rather than letting Qin Ruojing shift her focus onto him, it was better to just stay still and see what the sisters would say, just taking it as a bit of entertainment.

Qin Ruojing's sister's provocative smile made her even more displeased. As for this growing displeasure, whether it was because it was evident that her sister still had feelings for Chu Ge, or because her sister was holding onto Chu Ge, she couldn't afford the time to consider.

On the surface, these two issues might not seem different, but in reality, the underlying feelings were indeed not the same.

"Qin Ruoying, Chu Ge is your brother-in-law. Holding his hand like this right under my nose, do you think that's appropriate?"

Qin Ruojing exhaled, her tone calm as she asked. When she mentioned "brother-in-law," she emphasized those words slightly.

As Qin Ruojing's words fell, Qin Ruoying finally let go of Chu Ge's hand, looking unapologetic. On the contrary, she quite confidently sat down on a stool in the kitchen.

Qin Ruoying crossed her right leg over her left, her size thirty-seven foot hanging in a slipper, and looked at her sister without avoiding her gaze, a more and more mischievous curl on her lips.

"Sister, I call him brother-in-law purely out of habit. You two aren't even a couple. Chu Ge isn't really my brother-in-law, so don't say I'm just holding his hand. No matter what I do with him, there's nothing inappropriate, right?"

Qin Ruojing snorted, glared at her sister, and said, "Who says we're not a couple? If we weren't a couple, could we do those things? When Mom was here those few days, didn't you hear the sounds from our room?"

Had it not been for her sister pushing her, Qin Ruojing would never have said such things. After speaking, she felt conflicted, recalling those few nights when Chu Ge helped her by giving her foot acupoint massages.

However, to Qin Ruojing's surprise, when Qin Ruoying heard this, she immediately giggled, as if she had heard something extremely funny, laughing heartily.
