"When handling a case, the police need to rely on evidence, right? If I had said it earlier, wouldn't you have been more cautious? It's really not easy that I managed to catch you off guard today."

Chu Ge gave Qin Ruoying a thumbs up, "Impressive, you truly live up to being the daughter of a seasoned detective. You even fooled me. Well, since my task is complete, I'll be leaving now. Goodnight."

As he spoke, Chu Ge picked up the clothes on the floor. However, before he could put them on, Qin Ruoying got out of bed and held his hand.

"Brother-in-law, it's so late and dark already, you shouldn't bother going out."

Chu Ge thought about it and agreed with Qin Ruoying. After staying for such a long time, another night wouldn't hurt, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go tidy up the empty bedroom and sleep there for the night."

"Oh come on, brother-in-law, don't waste your effort. That room has been unused for ages, it's basically my sister's storage room. Why would you go there?"

"Then I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room."

Qin Ruoying pulled Chu Ge back, "Why sleep on the sofa? Wouldn't that be us sisters bullying you?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "Then where should I sleep? With your sister or here with you?"

Since Qin Ruoying had already seen through him, Chu Ge felt no need to hold back, and he jokingly teased Qin Ruoying.

"Just sleep here with me. You've lived with my sister for more than a day or two, and nothing's happened. What is there for me to worry about? Are you going to push me down or something?"

Chu Ge shook his head, laughing, "That certainly won't happen."

"See? Now come to bed already. Oh, by the way, brother-in-law..."

Before Qin Ruoying could finish, Chu Ge interrupted her, "You're still calling me brother-in-law?"

Qin Ruoying giggled, stuck out her tongue, and pulled Chu Ge to sit together on the edge of the bed.

"I've called you that for so long; it's hard to change it all of a sudden. You're not losing anything anyway, so let me keep calling you that. Brother-in-law, to be honest, I've been really conflicted for a long time about whether to expose this thing between you and my sister."

Chu Ge turned to look at Qin Ruoying, "Hmm? What do you mean by that? I remember from the first moment you met me, you've been trying hard to expose me and your sister."

Qin Ruoying looked at Chu Ge and said, "It's just that having a brother-in-law like you is something really fun. I've gotten used to having you as my brother-in-law. If my sister gets me a new brother-in-law, I'm afraid I might not like him."

Chu Ge chuckled, "As long as your sister likes him, it's fine. You don't have to live with your future brother-in-law, right?"

"That's true, but the key is I'm worried a new brother-in-law wouldn't get along with me like you do."

Seeing Qin Ruoying's distressed face, Chu Ge smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Just because I won't be your brother-in-law doesn't mean we can't still be friends. It's rare for us to get along so well. If you ever feel bored, just hit me up anytime, it's not a problem."

"Really? That would be great! It's settled then!"

Qin Ruoying perked up, raised her hand, and gave Chu Ge a high five, her face beaming with a bright smile.

"By the way, brother-in-law, to be honest, all this time, being next to my sister, such a beautiful woman, sharing the same bed, you... you must have had those kinds of thoughts, right?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "Honestly, yes, I have."

Qin Ruoying blinked and curiously asked, "So you've just held back all this time? Isn't that hard for you?"

Chu Ge shrugged, "Even if it's hard, I have to hold it in. What else can I do? Should I really make a move on your sister? She'd definitely fight with me."

"The way you say it, it's like if my sister fought you, you wouldn't have any solution. Even ten of her couldn't take you down, right?"

Hearing Qin Ruoying say this so seriously, Chu Ge was at a loss, his face full of disbelief, "Little Ying, this... isn't about who's stronger or weaker, is it?"

Qin Ruoying giggled and said, "Oh, look at you getting all tense. Of course I know that won't work. I was just saying it casually. But actually, I do kind of hope something would happen between you two. With my sister's conservative nature, if you really pushed her and cooked the rice, maybe she'd accept it. You might really become my brother-in-law."

Qin Ruoying's words were a bit too bold, leaving Chu Ge speechless.

Qin Ruoying wasn't sure what she was thinking, and after a few seconds, she chuckled and said, "Uh, brother-in-law, let's not talk about that. Seriously, you've been pretending to be a couple with my sister for so long. Haven't you ever considered turning the act into something real, genuinely being with her?"

Chu Ge shook his head decisively without even thinking.

"Geez, brother-in-law, there's no need to shake your head that quickly. Think about it. Don't you think my sister's actually not bad? She's pretty, makes money, and also..."

Qin Ruoying paused, ruffled her hair, thought for a moment, then blinked, "Uh, what other qualities does my sister have?"

Chu Ge burst out laughing and said, "Of course she has. Your sister is particularly ambitious, calm when facing issues, stubborn on the outside but soft-hearted, caring but only shows it through her actions. She's also down-to-earth and approachable, even smiling and greeting the cleaning staff in the company. Aren't these all your sister's good qualities?"

"Huh? Brother-in-law, turns out my sister has so many good qualities! Since you think she's good in this way and that, why have you never thought about being with her?"

"Our personalities are too different. I'm too laid-back, and she's too driven. We're not on the same path at all."

Qin Ruoying dismissed it, saying, "Isn't that the beauty of it? Opposites attract, brother-in-law. By the way, do you have a girlfriend?"

Chu Ge shook his head, "No, and I don't feel like looking for one right now. Youth is short-lived; I don't want to consider these things so early. There's time in a few years. Besides, I have nothing right now; I can't have a woman endure hardships with me."

"Come on, brother-in-law. You're the president of such a big company. If that's having nothing, what about someone like me? I might as well find a tofu block and smash my head on it!"

Chu Ge chuckled and was about to speak when Qin Ruoying interrupted him.

"Brother-in-law, I know you want to say that the title of president is just for show and that you're really just my sister's driver. But you can't fool me. Ever since we met and seeing the things you've done, I knew you must be someone with a story and skills."

"If you wanted to make money, let's not even mention it. Just based on your bartending skills, you could be making tons of money every day. As for why you're working as a small employee under my sister, if you don't want to say, I won't ask. Anyway, I know you must have your reasons."

Looking at Qin Ruoying, Chu Ge genuinely felt she was a girl whose intelligence was hardly less than her sister's. However, Qin Ruojing put her heart into her career, while Qin Ruoying applied herself to other aspects of life.

"You sly fox, I bet if you start a company, you might do even better than your sister."

Qin Ruoying smiled proudly, touched her nose, and puffed out her chest, "Of course, who do you think I am?"

But after laughing, Qin Ruoying immediately sighed and said helplessly, "Unfortunately, you're the only one who can recognize a hero, brother-in-law. My dad, my mom, and my sister all think I'm aimless. They wish I'd find a man who can control me and marry me off right away."

"Since I have a sister above me, my parents were targeting her. I could more or less get by. But after she brought you home once, my parents praised you endlessly, and then I was out of luck. Their focus shifted entirely to me. You have no idea how much my mom nags; it's driving me crazy."

Seeing Qin Ruoying's frustrated look, Chu Ge smiled. Even though he was an orphan, he had at least heard the nagging of the three leaders at the orphanage, so he could somewhat empathize with Qin Ruoying's frustration.

Qin Ruoying shot a resentful look at Chu Ge and said, "Brother-in-law, you're laughing. Don't you have any sympathy? Isn't this gloating?"

Saying that, Qin Ruoying punched Chu Ge in frustration, "Brother-in-law, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, would I have run all the way from Kyoto to Lidu and stayed here alone like a bird trapped in a cage every day?"

Chu Ge spread his hands innocently and chuckled wryly, "Well... I really have no intention to gloat. But in this matter, I'm really helpless."

Qin Ruoying pouted angrily and huffed, "I don't care. Anyway, this whole thing is your fault, so you have to take responsibility for it."

Chu Ge broke out in a cold sweat. He could understand what Qin Ruoying was saying, but it felt so awkward to hear, especially when it even involved the words "take responsibility."

"Huh? Brother-in-law, I've got it!"

While Chu Ge was feeling speechless, Qin Ruoying's eyes suddenly lit up. She grabbed Chu Ge's arm and shook it, blurting out something that left him even more speechless.

"Since I've already exposed your relationship with my sister, why don't you come home with me and pretend to be my boyfriend? That time when I was at a gathering with my friends, you did a great job guest-starring. With your super acting skills, it'll be a piece of cake."

Chu Ge was drenched in sweat, as if looking at an alien, he suddenly laughed and flicked her forehead, "Xiaoying, you're really not easy to compliment. I just praised you for being clever, and you came up with this? Please, think it over. Do you think this is possible?"
