Although feeling helpless inside, Qin Ruojing couldn't say anything at this moment. She could only hope that Chu Ge could explain it away himself.

But, that seemed a bit hard...

Just as Qin Ruojing secretly sweated, thinking that Chu Ge would definitely be at a loss for words and was about to change the subject, Chu Ge smiled slightly and nodded.

"That's right, I did say that, and I still think so even now."

Qin Ruoying was initially full of smugness, but when she heard Chu Ge say this, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, immediately asking, "Brother-in-law, then why did you still get it wrong?"

Chu Ge scratched his head and said, "Well, I'm really a bit embarrassed to say."

Qin Ruoying giggled, "Brother-in-law, are you embarrassed to say it, or do you just have no way to refute it?"

Qin Ruojing didn't speak, but in her heart, she agreed with her sister's statement, thinking that Chu Ge was just being stubborn.

"Really embarrassed to say."

"Brother-in-law, what's there to be embarrassed about? Just say it, I'd really like to know."

Chu Ge awkwardly said, "If I say it, you two sisters can't get mad."

Qin Ruoying was thoroughly intrigued and immediately nodded, "Not mad, definitely not mad, just say it, brother-in-law."

Qin Ruojing also really wanted to hear how Chu Ge would take back what he had so firmly said before, so she nodded too.

Chu Ge chuckled, "You promised not to get mad, so I'll say it."

Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, full of impatience, while Qin Ruoying waited eagerly, smiling and humming twice.

Chu Ge looked at Qin Ruoying and said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, when I first went home with your sister, even though you are my sister-in-law, we had just met, so to speak, you were a stranger."

Qin Ruoying somewhat understood but didn't spell it out, she smiled and nodded, "Hmm, so?"

"So at that time, there was certainly no aura between us, but later on, as we interacted more, I really treated you like family, so you had an aura with me. Although it's not as strong as your sister's, I came back after drinking quite a lot, so my reactions were definitely a bit slow, that's why I mistook the person earlier."

Hearing Chu Ge's explanation, Qin Ruoying didn't seem angry at all. Instead, she looked enlightened and joyful, smiling, "I see."

Qin Ruojing felt a bit speechless and amused inside, but she also admired Chu Ge. This guy really had some quick wit; Qin Ruoying had clearly cornered him, yet he could come up with such a reason.

And honestly, that reason was quite reasonable.

"Ah! I was planning to play around with this for a few days and then change my style, but since brother-in-law said that, there's no need. If someday brother-in-law mistakes someone again, haha... that means I have a stronger aura with brother-in-law, or brother-in-law is lying."

Qin Ruojing just half relaxed, when Qin Ruoying mischievously said this from the side, leaving her speechless again.

But this time she didn't blame Chu Ge, she could only say her sister was too cunning, no matter how Chu Ge explained, with Qin Ruoying's mischievous personality, she would definitely have something to say.

Chu Ge was also quite troubled, but could only take it one step at a time.

Glancing at Chu Ge, then at her sister, Qin Ruojing rubbed her forehead and said, "You mischievous girl, I really wonder, I've been with your brother-in-law for so long, why do you have to keep watching us, launching these surprise attacks, trying to prove we're not a couple?"

"I just feel you two being together is weird, besides, if I can prove you two aren't a couple, then mom and dad won't keep nagging me, and I won't need to take refuge at your place, oh, poor me."

Qin Ruojing raised her hand and poked her sister's forehead, "Stop sighing and groaning like your sister and brother-in-law have wronged you, you ungrateful thing."

One second Qin Ruoying was sighing and groaning, but now she was giggling, "No, no, sis and brother-in-law treat me the best, brother-in-law, I want to eat spicy fish, could you make that for me?"

"Sure, I'll go out and buy some fish, anything else you want to eat, I'll bring it all back."

Qin Ruoying mentioned a few more dishes, Chu Ge nodded with a smile and turned to leave the room.

Before long, Chu Ge returned to Qin Ruojing's home with things in hand. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Qin Ruojing coming over to greet him. Chu Ge couldn't help but observe carefully, yet unfortunately, he was really confused and couldn't tell if this was Qin Ruojing or Qin Ruoying.

Chu Ge was about to take a guess based on his intuition when Qin Ruojing sighed and helplessly said, "I'm Qin Ruojing. My sister is inside playing on the computer."

With that, Qin Ruojing took the fish and vegetables from Chu Ge's hand and helped carry them to the kitchen. Once they were in the kitchen, she put the things aside and quietly said, "Chu Ge, my sister is now dressed just like me. You'd better be careful not to reveal any mistakes. How about we come up with a secret code?"

Chu Ge looked at Qin Ruojing for a few seconds and suddenly flicked her forehead, saying helplessly yet playfully, "Xiaoying, are you playing tricks on me again?"

Rubbing her forehead, Qin Ruojing glared at Chu Ge and said, "What are you doing! Do you usually get this hands-on with my sister?"

Looking at Qin Ruojing's familiar stern face, Chu Ge was a bit bewildered again, unable to determine clearly who it was. He just assumed it was Qin Ruoying still trying to trick him and said, "Alright, enough already. If you keep this up, your brother-in-law won't make boiled fish for you."

By this point, Qin Ruojing was amused too and leaned close to Chu Ge, whispering, "Chu Ge, take a good look. I'm Qin Ruojing, not Qin Ruoying!"

Chu Ge plainly didn't believe it, "Xiaoying, if you keep messing around, it won't be fun anymore. Do you think your little tricks can fool me? I've been with your sister for so long, you know."

Qin Ruojing was at her wits' end, raising her hand to tap her forehead and angrily muttered, "That rascal Xiaoying, she's driving me nuts! Why does she have to look so much like me?"

Unfazed, Chu Ge watched her talk to herself, then picked up a kitchen knife and, demonstrating the talent that had once amazed the three women of the Qin family, expertly handled the lively fish.

Just as Chu Ge finished dealing with the fish, Qin Ruojing suddenly had a bright idea and said, "Hey... right, last time you recognized me because you secretly saw my sprained foot. Now you believe I'm Qin Ruojing, right?"

As she spoke, an astonishingly sharp memory surfaced in her mind. Even though she had seen it before, she was still in awe and paused for a moment before continuing.

Chu Ge blinked, truly at a loss for words this time. Since the woman across from him could mention this, she must be Qin Ruojing. After all, in this matter, Qin Ruojing would never have told her sister.

"You... you really are Qin Ruojing, huh? This... shouldn't be, right?"

Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at Chu Ge and sarcastically whispered, "What shouldn't be? Why shouldn't it be? You've been with me for so long, and it's like you've been wasting your time."

Facing Qin Ruojing's eye-roll, Chu Ge awkwardly chuckled and said, "In the past when there were things to do at home, whether it was buying stuff or handling small tasks, you never lent a hand, right? Today, the sun didn't rise in the west, so what made you come over to help me with the things? How could I not be suspicious?"

"So, according to you, if I help you, it's the wrong thing to do? Fine, I won't bother anymore in the future."

Hearing Chu Ge's explanation, Qin Ruojing felt a mix of helplessness and exasperation. But truth be told, even she hadn't noticed this subtlety until Chu Ge pointed it out.

In fact, this change happened subconsciously after a series of events: she quarreled with her sister, Chu Ge saved her life afterward, and she made up her mind to leave Chu Ge. The transformation in her behavior occurred quietly thereafter.

Though she didn't think much herself, subconsciously, she felt a desire to do something for Chu Ge, whether to thank him for saving her life or for some other indescribable reason. This change occurred silently within her.

"I say, Chairman, stop fretting over this petty matter. Think of a plan with me quickly! Your sister's move is too sneaky. If this keeps up, the secret will be out in just a few days!"

After looking at the peeved Qin Ruojing for a moment, Chu Ge still thought she resembled Qin Ruoying somehow. But resemblance aside, he knew for sure this was Qin Ruojing, and couldn't help but ask with a bitter smile.

"Indeed, it's sneaky. Just now at home, she wasn't dressed like this. I only stepped out for a bit, and she pulled this off. We really need to come up with a strategy. Let me think."

By now, Qin Ruojing was too preoccupied to stay mad at Chu Ge and began to think hard with a frown.

"Sis! Is brother-in-law back?"

But just as Qin Ruojing spoke, before she could come up with an idea, Qin Ruoying's voice came from one of the bedrooms, identical to hers.

Then came the sound of footsteps from outside, and Qin Ruoying pushed open the kitchen door with a smile.

"Sis, brother-in-law, why are you two closing the kitchen door just to cook? Are you planning something bad behind my back?"

Qin Ruojing's face turned stern, and she snorted, "You silly girl, we're making boiled fish for you here. Instead of being grateful, do you have to think like a normal person?"

Looking from Qin Ruojing to Qin Ruoying, Chu Ge couldn't help another weary smile. Not only had Qin Ruoying styled her hair like her sister's, but she'd also changed into an identical outfit.

Now, it was becoming increasingly difficult to tell them apart.
