"You little brat, how much did you drink? Talking crazy! If you dare spout nonsense again, do you believe I won't send you right back home? We'll see if Mom's nagging can drive you nuts. And forget about coming back here to bother me! When I say it, I mean it!"

Always being overshadowed by her sister, Qin Ruojing was both embarrassed and furious. After a few sentences, she finally used the ultimate weapon, huffing and puffing as she spoke.

"Don't be like that, sis, I'm here to admit my mistake to you. Good sister, don't be mad, I promise there won't be a next time, alright? Look how well-behaved I am. You've known me since we were little; you know I'm the best, right?"

Hearing her sister say this, Qin Ruoying immediately stopped smiling, pulled a sad face, moved closer, and clung to Qin Ruojing's arm, shaking it while pleading as if she was pitifully acting spoiled.

Qin Ruojing's temper flared the moment her arm was grabbed and shaken. Her sister always pulled this trick, and she was always left grinding her teeth in anger but had no solution.

"You little brat, let go. I don't want to talk to a drunk like you. You go sleep, and I'll deal with you tomorrow!"

Although Qin Ruojing had a lot she wanted to teach her sister, Chu Ge was right there. If she continued, not only would Chu Ge's eyes keep lingering on her, but she was also afraid she might let something slip in her anger.

"So I'll take that as you're not angry anymore?" Qin Ruoying blinked, cautiously asking again.

"Disappear immediately!" Sensing Chu Ge's amused gaze from the side, Qin Ruojing squinted her eyes, on the verge of blowing up.

"Alright, alright! I'll disappear. Good night, sis, good night, brother-in-law."

Qin Ruoying grinned, released Qin Ruojing's arm, and while off guard, reached out and grabbed her again.

"Hehe, sis, you've got even better since we were little!"

"Qin! Ruo! Ying!"

Being groped by her sister in front of Chu Ge nearly made Qin Ruojing explode in anger. She raised her hand to swat at Qin Ruoying's backside, but Qin Ruoying had anticipated it and, after grabbing her, swiftly got off the bed, making Qin Ruojing's swipe miss entirely.

"Wahaha, I'm going to sleep now!" Qin Ruoying made a face at Qin Ruojing and ran out.

As her sister left the room, Qin Ruojing immediately turned her cold gaze towards Chu Ge. She'd deal with her sister tomorrow; now it's time to settle the score with Chu Ge. How dare this jerk still be laughing, showing off those white teeth?

However, before Qin Ruojing could even speak, Qin Ruoying poked her head back in, smiling, "Sis, don't be mad, alright? Sweet dreams?"

"Whizz"

A pillow flew past, but unfortunately, Qin Ruojing was a step too late. Qin Ruoying had shut the door right after speaking, leaving the pillow of infinite shame and resentment to hit the door and then slide to the floor.

"Pff"

Chu Ge had managed not to laugh out loud until now, but this time, he just couldn't hold it in.

"You jerk, what's so funny? Haven't you had enough? Turn around!"

Qin Ruojing, already quite annoyed, saw Chu Ge's reaction and directly tossed another pillow at him.

With a casual stretch, Chu Ge caught the pillow steadily, scratching his head with the other hand and muttering amusingly, "Well, I've been watching for quite a while anyway..."

Halfway through his muttering, he suddenly saw Qin Ruojing grab the laptop from the bedside table. Chu Ge quickly made a surrender gesture and turned around immediately.

Not that the laptop posed any threat to him, but in case Qin Ruojing threw it wrong and broke it, any important stuff inside would be lost too, and that would be troublesome.

A few minutes passed, and Qin Ruojing changed into her pajamas, fetched a blanket from the wardrobe, and, still fuming, crawled into bed with her back to Chu Ge.

Although Chu Ge hadn't turned around, he could tell what Qin Ruojing was doing from the sounds. When the room fell silent, he amusingly asked, "So, Chairperson, how long do you plan for me to face the wall?"

"Keep facing it! Don't talk to me!"

Even with Qin Ruojing's words, Chu Ge was, of course, not foolish enough to keep facing the wall indefinitely. He humorously turned around, looking at Qin Ruojing tucked in the bed, and added, "Come on, it was just an accident, alright? Why are you taking it out on me?"

"Accident? You jerk, I think you did it on purpose. Couldn't you have called me beforehand?" Qin Ruojing turned around abruptly, glaring at Chu Ge with frustration.

Chu Ge shrugged helplessly, "I did call, but your phone was off, nothing I could do."

Qin Ruojing furrowed her brows. Under normal circumstances, her phone was practically never turned off, but with Chu Ge saying this, it was clearly not baseless. Reaching for the phone on the bedside table, she found it, unexpectedly out of battery.

"See, you can't blame me for this, can you?"

Qin Ruojing bit her lip and huffed. Although Chu Ge was indeed not at fault here, and everything was just a coincidence, how could she not be frustrated?

"Alright, don't be upset. I'll go get the pillows."

Even though Qin Ruojing looked quite stern, Chu Ge completely understood her mood at the moment. He smiled, retrieved the two pillows she had thrown out earlier, patted them, returned to the bed, placed one pillow where he sleeps, and handed the other to Qin Ruojing.

"Should I turn off the light and get into bed?"

Qin Ruojing remained silent.

Chu Ge, not standing on ceremony, simply turned off the light and got into bed.

"Chairwoman, don't you feel that Xiaoying is acting a bit strange this time she's back?"

Qin Ruojing still didn't speak, gritting her teeth, suppressing the urge to kick Chu Ge off the bed.

Knowing that Qin Ruojing was in a foul mood, Chu Ge didn't mind her ignoring him and continued to speak to himself, "Logically, she's always suspicious of our relationship. This time she left the crew early and came back secretly alone. Isn't this a great chance for a surprise attack? Tell me, why didn't she just come straight home to catch us not living together?"

Hearing Chu Ge's words, Qin Ruojing furrowed her brows, coming to her senses a bit, and had to admit that Chu Ge indeed made some sense.

Though she still felt very uncomfortable, Qin Ruojing finally opened her mouth, turning her back to Chu Ge and asking, "So what do you mean?"

"I can't figure it out either, that's why I'm asking you."

Qin Ruojing pondered for a moment, then unknowingly turned around and proposed several hypotheses. After a bit of analysis, they quickly found those hypotheses didn't hold much ground.

Thinking it over and over, they couldn't come up with a completely plausible explanation, so Qin Ruojing simply changed the subject.

"Forget it, that little brat often acts in unpredictable ways. Maybe she just decided on a whim, and it's not as complicated as we thought. Let's not dwell on her, tell me about the recruitment on your side."

"Things are going okay here, everything is going according to plan. I contacted Lidu University yesterday and will be there the day after tomorrow for a campus recruitment fair. If all goes well, we should be able to recruit some people. After that, there's the big recruitment fair at the job market on the 18th, which surely won't be a wasted trip. But regarding the company's management level, shouldn't you also think of some solutions?"

Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at Chu Ge and said irritably, "Nonsense, do you think I'm idle? If I weren't so busy with these matters that I ended up sleeping at midnight, how could I not hear you entering the room and let you, that bastard, take advantage of me so much? Do you know how much I want to kick you off right now?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "Chairwoman is mighty, more capable people take on more work. Who made you so capable? Otherwise, He Qing wouldn't trust you so much, right?"

"Stop being a smooth talker, using He Qing to press me. By the way, what do you think of Tong Yaqi's work ability?"

Chu Ge was taken aback, "Why did you suddenly bring her up? What's this about?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Just tell me your opinion of her."

"There's no doubt about her work ability. She's very meticulous, very serious, and very decisive. Otherwise, so many people at Tianjiao Film and Television wouldn't be so convinced by her."

At this point, seeing Qin Ruojing's thoughtful expression, Chu Ge suddenly realized something, touched his nose, and uncertainly asked, "Chairwoman, you're not planning to transfer Tong Yaqi to Tianqing, are you?"

Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at Chu Ge again, "Why, are you planning something bad again?"

Chu Ge broke into a sweat, he just asked normally, okay? Why did Qin Ruojing's words sound so off?

"Oh, what bad plan could I have? I just think that if she can be transferred to Tianqing, it would definitely be beneficial for the company's development. If you talk like that, it's just too boring."

"Come on, it might be believable if someone else said this, but coming from you, I don't believe a single punctuation mark. I think you're just hoping she goes over there, convenient for you to do something bad, eh?"

Seeing Qin Ruojing's face full of disdain, Chu Ge felt both helpless and amused. Qin Ruojing had long labeled him as 'unreliable.' If he explained, she would just see it as an excuse, only digging deeper.

"Whatever you think, I'm tired, going to sleep."

Saying that, Chu Ge closed his eyes, turned over, and assumed a back-facing Qin Ruojing position.

Looking at Chu Ge's back, Qin Ruojing felt a sudden twinge of anger for no reason. This guy, does he not even want to justify himself? Or is he outright admitting it, with nothing left to say?

Just as she was about to taunt Chu Ge a few more times, Qin Ruojing suddenly realized something and paused. What she was about to say ultimately remained unsaid.
