If Qin Ruojing had any doubts about what her sister said earlier, when she suddenly noticed the changes in her body, she couldn't help but believe it.

Indeed, her period had come too. Not only did she and her sister look alike, but they also shared some innate characteristics. Even their menstrual cycles were the same. Sometimes, she felt like she and her sister were practically the same person; there were just too many similarities between them.

"Damn, why is it so early this time? Could it be that too much has been happening lately, and the stress has messed up my cycle?"

Qin Ruojing muttered to herself in frustration, feeling a bit of a headache as she said, "Alright, I got it. Let's talk at home. That's it."

With that, Qin Ruojing hung up the phone and turned her gaze to Chu Ge, her face filled with hesitation and indecision. Earlier, her sister had needed his help, and now it seemed she needed his help too.

"Chairman, you've heard it all, right? That's the situation. If you don't have any other plans, I'll be on my way?"

Although Chu Ge and Qin Ruoying were completely innocent, helping with something so intimate could easily spark imaginations. Being stared at by Qin Ruojing made him uncomfortable, and seeing she had nothing to say, he got up from the couch.

At the same time, Chu Ge was puzzled. Qin Ruojing was so quiet?

It seemed, according to Qin Ruojing's usual way of handling things, she would typically question him in situations like this, asking something like, "Did you see anything you shouldn't have?"

Since Qin Ruojing wasn't speaking, Chu Ge assumed she agreed with her silence and decided to walk away. But after just two steps, he heard Qin Ruojing call out behind him, "Wait a moment."

Chu Ge felt a sense of helplessness; Qin Ruojing really wasn't going to let him go easily. Was she still going to ask more questions?

With a heart full of conflict, Chu Ge stopped, turned around, and said helplessly, "What now?"

Qin Ruojing pursed her lips and stood up from the swivel chair, looking conflicted as she asked, "Could you check for me, is there anything wrong?"

Chu Ge was momentarily stunned, not understanding what Qin Ruojing meant, then saw her awkwardly turn around, back facing his gaze.

"Well? Any problems?" Qin Ruojing's voice was still pretty calm, but Chu Ge could sense a hint of nervousness beneath her calm exterior.

Qin Ruojing's legs were tightly clenched together, straight as an arrow, her slender waist above them, and a stiff back further up. What did she mean by checking for something wrong? Nothing seemed off.

Chu Ge was confused, and Qin Ruojing urged again, "Chu Ge, I'm asking you, is there anything wrong?"

Coming back to his senses, Chu Ge asked somewhat helplessly, "Chairman, you just told me to check, but with no context, I don't even know what you want me to look at."

Qin Ruojing, already frustrated, became even more agitated hearing Chu Ge's question. There was no other woman around to ask, and apart from seeking Chu Ge's help, she had no other choice.

"Nonsense, what else do you think I'd want you to check?"

Sensing the frustration in Qin Ruojing's tone, Chu Ge blinked, "Uh, yours too?"

Qin Ruojing became more frustrated, but thankfully her back was to Chu Ge, sparing them the awkwardness of eye contact, "You know, yet you still ask. Hurry and help me check, stop with the unnecessary chatter, okay?"

Chu Ge grinned and said, "Uh, one moment, I'll take a closer look."

Moving to stand behind Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge examined carefully, "For now, nothing seems wrong."

Qin Ruojing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Need me to go buy you some pads?"

Qin Ruojing's eye twitched; how could Chu Ge say something like that as naturally as talking about the weather?

"Don't need?"

Qin Ruojing didn't say a word, and Chu Ge assumed she had these things already prepared, so he was ready to leave.

However, before Chu Ge could turn around, he heard Qin Ruojing pretend to say calmly in a low voice, "I didn't say I didn't need them."

Chu Ge chuckled, "So, you do need them?"

Qin Ruojing fell silent again, and this time her silence confirmed it.

Again, Chu Ge asked, "Do you need them or not? Just say something, will you?"

Qin Ruojing felt a bit angry inside; was he doing this on purpose? But thinking about having a grown man like Chu Ge go buy such things, it must be a really awkward task for him, she suddenly felt a bit relieved, and it didn't seem so frustrating anymore.

Sighing softly, Qin Ruojing turned around, sat back in the chair, suppressed her embarrassment and awkwardness, and said with a bit of teasing, "Would you mind running this errand for me? But do you even know how to buy this stuff?"

Chu Ge laughed, "Never used them, but I haven't seen them? Do you want the mesh kind, the soft kind, or the pure cotton kind?"

Qin Ruojing's expression froze. Why didn't this guy look embarrassed at all? How come he knows so much?

"Whatever you like."

"Should I get the ultra-thin ones or the regular ones?"

"Whatever!"

"Are you sure it's pads and not tampons?"

"Hurry! Up! And go!"

Initially, Qin Ruojing wanted to tease Chu Ge with this and see him blush.

But as things went on, she was speechless to find that the reality was completely the opposite of what she expected. Chu Ge was totally unfazed and had a sly grin. How could this guy be so infuriating?

"Hey, are you sure you don't mind? You're not allergic to any types or brands?"

Seeing Qin Ruojing's breathing become a bit erratic, her delicate brows furrowed, and looking like she was about to grab something off the table to throw at him, Chu Ge laughed heartily and decided to stop while ahead, turning around to leave.

He went downstairs to a nearby supermarket. Thinking back on what just happened, Chu Ge found it quite amusing. It's one thing that the twin sisters looked exactly alike, but to have this happen simultaneously too, what an unusual coincidence.

At the supermarket, he bought a pack of pads and, grabbing a pack of liners on the way, went upstairs to give them to Qin Ruojing, then left Tianjiao Building directly.

Watching Chu Ge hand over these things to her so nonchalantly and leave so confidently, Qin Ruojing was utterly speechless. It was the first time since she grew up she ever had a man buy her something like this, and it turned out like this.

She still remembered how embarrassed she was the first time she went to buy these things herself. But this guy, he bought such feminine products as naturally as if he were buying a pack of cigarettes.

However, she had to admit that she and Chu Ge seemed to have quite the rapport. Even though she was too embarrassed to say much when it came to buying these things, somehow, what Chu Ge brought back was exactly the types and brands she usually used.

This guy... could it be he has some peculiar hobby and had secretly noted these things before?

Qin Ruojing entered the bathroom, shuddered at the thought, and goosebumps crawled over her skin.

After dealing with this sudden hassle, Qin Ruojing handled some work matters and then started to worry about the situation between her sister and Chu Ge again.

Is Qin Ruoying really not interested in pursuing Chu Ge? Why is her sister such a handful? If her sister actually got together with Chu Ge, then... just thinking about it gives her a headache!

Looking at the clock, it was almost time to get off work. After hesitating a little, she dialed Tong Yaqi's number. She didn't have many friends, and even fewer female friends with whom she could share intimate conversations. Faced with such a troublesome matter, it seemed she could only consult Tong Yaqi.

In a private room at a restaurant with an elegant atmosphere, Qin Ruojing and Tong Yaqi met.

After a while, Tong Yaqi noticed Qin Ruojing's issue. Whether talking about work or eating, Qin Ruojing was obviously a bit distracted.

Having spent time with Qin Ruojing recently, Tong Yaqi knew this chairman truly regarded her as a sister, so today she definitely had something on her mind and took the initiative to ask.

"Xiaojing, you seem preoccupied. Did something happen between you and Chu Ge again? Why not share it with your sister?"

When she first started addressing Qin Ruojing this way, Tong Yaqi felt awkward, but she had gotten used to it, thanks to Chu Ge, who subtly changed the dynamic between them.

Qin Ruojing didn't know where to begin, so with Tong Yaqi bringing it up, it saved her the trouble. She sighed slightly and said with a bitter smile, "Yaqi, my fake relationship with Chu Ge has been exposed by my sister."

Tong Yaqi was momentarily stunned, and for some reason, felt a bit happy inside, but didn't show it on her face, teasingly saying, "Is it that you can't get used to not having Chu Ge around anymore? Always thinking of his good points, feeling lonely in the quiet of the night?"

Qin Ruojing looked at Tong Yaqi speechlessly, "Yaqi, what are you saying? We were just pretending. He was helping me act, and I was paying him. Why would I miss him not being around?"

"Xiaojing, why do I feel like you're not being honest with yourself? I've never seen you like this before, with your thoughts practically written on your face."

Qin Ruojing was stunned and touched her cheek, "Really?"

Tong Yaqi nodded earnestly, "Of course. Xiaojing, just say what's on your mind. I'll be a great listener. After all, I'm a few years older and maybe I can give you some advice."

"Well... fine, I won't hide it from you. To be honest, I came to you today because I need to vent and ask for your advice. I really don't know what to do."

Tong Yaqi smiled, "Go ahead, I'm all ears."

Qin Ruojing was silent for a few seconds, then finally gave a bitter smile, "It seems my sister has taken a liking to Chu Ge. What should I do about this?"
