Feeling the gentleness from Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying towards him, Chu Ge found it difficult to express his emotions in words. A mix of feelings surged within him, making him sigh with sentiment.

Suddenly, Chu Ge felt his hand empty, and immediately came to his senses, instinctively turning his head to look to the left. He saw Qin Ruojing not only withdrawing her hand but also standing up from the edge of the bed.

"Now that we've talked about the things that let you take advantage, let's discuss something that might not make you very happy. You're celebrating too early."

Qin Ruojing gave Chu Ge a playful smile and said lightly, leaving him with a view of her back as she walked over to the swivel chair by the computer desk.

When Qin Ruojing gracefully sat down and turned around to face Chu Ge again, she had regained her usual serious demeanor, resembling the demeanor of a chairperson she maintained at the company.

"Chu Ge, Xiaoying, regarding the three of us being together, I feel it's necessary to remind you both to be mindful of your words and actions in the presence of others, especially family. You absolutely can't act too intimately, otherwise, it will be a huge problem."

Under Qin Ruojing's solemn gaze, Chu Ge and Qin Ruoying nodded seriously, even though they were well aware of this. They understood the immense importance of this matter.

"Next, I want to say that if Xiaoying finds someone else she loves, I hope you, Chu Ge, will not interfere. After all, she has the right to pursue happiness. There isn't only one man in the world, and although this may sound harsh, that's the truth."

As soon as Qin Ruojing finished speaking, Qin Ruoying became anxious, "Sis! I..."

Qin Ruojing ignored her sister's voice, fixing her gaze on Chu Ge. Chu Ge smiled, gently squeezed Qin Ruoying's hand to signal her to stay quiet, and solemnly nodded to Qin Ruojing.

"You can rest assured. If one day Xiaoying finds someone else she fancies, I know what to do. I won't make things difficult for you."

Qin Ruojing smiled a somewhat helpless smile, understanding that no one can predict the future, which is why she had to speak frankly now.

"And also..."

Qin Ruojing's face flushed slightly red, finding the topic hard to speak about. After pausing and taking a breath, she continued, "When things... happen between you two, make sure to take safety measures. No matter how heated it gets, it must be restrained if there's no protection. Most importantly, Xiaoying must not be affected."

"Sis... what are you saying?" Hearing her sister bring up this topic, Qin Ruoying was extremely embarrassed, biting her lip.

Chu Ge felt awkward as well, scratching his head and giving a sheepish "Mm."

Qin Ruojing didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer but felt obligated to remind her sister and Chu Ge. Seeing Chu Ge agree, she quickly moved on to the next topic.

"Alright, as long as you understand. Now, I hope you'll agree to control your temper in the future. Try not to get into conflicts with others when it's avoidable. It's not a big deal to suffer a little setback; just bear it, okay?"

Having been with Chu Ge for so long, Qin Ruojing knew him well. Despite his harmless appearance, when provoked, his response could be fierce and unyielding. No wife wants her husband in danger, and Qin Ruojing was no exception.

Before Chu Ge could respond, Qin Ruoying was already displeased, frowning and mumbling.

"Sis, you're being unreasonable. Since childhood, mom always told us to be tactful, and I'm tired of hearing it. How can you say the same thing? If someone bullies brother-in-law, why should he endure it?"

"I said to try your best; I didn't tell him to endure everything. Your brother-in-law hasn't even said anything yet, and you're all worked up. I worry about the future, thinking you two might team up against me every day."

Qin Ruojing gave her sister a helpless glance before turning her gaze back to Chu Ge.

Under Qin Ruojing's expectant eyes and negotiating tone, Chu Ge couldn't bring himself to refuse, nodding with a sheepish smile.

"Yeah, I understand. You know me — as long as no one provokes me, I have a pretty good temper. When have you ever seen me go looking for trouble? It's just occasionally when some people are truly unbearable that I feel compelled to retaliate, right?"

Qin Ruojing smiled wryly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but she felt it was better than nothing to hear him say that.

"One more thing, I hope you'll take work matters a bit more seriously in the future. Though it's not critical — it's good if you do, but it's okay if you don't."

For Qin Ruojing, despite not lacking money, as the man of the household, if Chu Ge always treated work casually, even if she didn't care, it wouldn't reflect well to others.

She cared about Chu Ge, and naturally, she also cared about how others perceived him.

Chu Ge chuckled, "You're wronging me there. When am I not serious? Even when I step out, I'm thinking about how to make money for the family."

Qin Ruojing was about to end the conversation but stopped in surprise at Chu Ge's words, looking at him as if he were a monster, "You? Thinking about making money for the family?"

Chu Ge smugly wiped his nose with his thumb, "Of course, guess how much money your husband has made in the past few days?"

Qin Ruojing clearly didn't buy it and asked suspiciously, "Really?"

"Of course, it's true." Chu Ge rolled his eyes and turned to look at the amused Qin Ruoying, "Xiaoying, do you believe your brother-in-law?"

"I believe! I believe everything my brother-in-law says! He's the best!"

Although today's events had drastically changed the relationship between Qin Ruoying and Chu Ge, she was used to calling him brother-in-law, so she continued doing so.

After speaking, she swayed Chu Ge's hand twice, only realizing she might have been too carried away and sheepishly stuck her tongue out at Qin Ruojing.

Qin Ruojing didn't mind much about this; after all, both sisters belonged to Chu Ge now, so it was no big deal. She looked at Chu Ge for a few seconds, but couldn't resist asking again.

"Really true?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes even more dramatically and said emphatically, "Really true!"

Seeing Chu Ge's serious demeanor, Qin Ruojing became genuinely curious, pinching her chin and pondering, "Tell me first, what did you do to make money? Since you want me to guess, at least give me some basis, right?"

Chu Ge chuckled and shook his head, "It's fun to guess when you know nothing. Just guess casually and let me see how much you think your husband can earn in three days."

Qin Ruojing hesitated for a moment and tentatively said, "Uh... ten thousand?"

Chu Ge's mouth twitched slightly, "Wrong."

"Sis, you underestimate your brother-in-law!" Qin Ruoying quickly joined the fun, pouting and looking at her sister with disapproval, grabbing Chu Ge's arm and eagerly saying, "I guess... twenty thousand?"

Chu Ge felt amused yet helpless inside. Qin Ruoying criticized her sister for guessing too low, yet her own guess was not much either?

Despite feeling speechless, Chu Ge didn't show his true feelings, crossing his legs and grinning, putting on a mysteriously knowing look, pinching his chin and saying, "Wrong, guess again."

Looking at Chu Ge's incredibly smug demeanor, Qin Ruojing found it both annoying and amusing. This guy really shines when given a little light; just now he was teary-eyed, yet here he goes acting up again.

But that's also what Qin Ruojing liked most about Chu Ge. He always lived so genuinely, in this day and age, having genuine emotions where you cry when you want to cry and laugh when you want to laugh had in fact become a luxury.

"You just keep asking us to guess, but are we guessing too much or too little? Without telling us what you've done, at least give us some hints on this?"

Being asked another question by Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge laughed even more smugly, but he didn't dare to overdo it, as it wouldn't be fun if Qin Ruojing stopped guessing.

However, just as he was about to speak, Qin Ruoying raised her hand to stop his mouth, "Brother-in-law, don't say, it's more fun to guess without knowing anything, like playing a game without looking at a guide and slowly exploring to clear it brings more satisfaction."

Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at her sister, "Taking the hard way when there's a shortcut—who does that? No matter what you do, you should at least have a basis, right?"

Qin Ruoying immediately retorted, "Hmph, no wonder I say you lack romance. Ah... we really have a generation gap, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going back to guessing."

The sisters exchanged a few banter words and shifted their focus back to guessing how much money Chu Ge had made, enthusiastically guessing away.

Chu Ge patiently shook his head again and again, and when the sisters guessed up to a hundred thousand, they finally gave up.

Although in the eyes of these sisters, Chu Ge was surely capable of turning decay into magic, still they thought, no matter how impressive Chu Ge was, how much could he possibly make in three days?

Even with the figure of a hundred thousand that Qin Ruoying just mentioned, it was said on a whim, as she herself didn't believe that Chu Ge could earn such a big sum in just three days.

Maybe thirty or fifty thousand might barely make some sense, but a hundred thousand? Isn't that a joke?

Chu Ge looked at Qin Ruojing, then at Qin Ruoying, and grinned, "Not guessing anymore?"

Qin Ruoying nodded, "Mm, not guessing anymore, just tell us the answer, brother-in-law."
