Qin Ruoying softly recounted the changes in her feelings toward Chu Ge, completely lost in her memories, her gaze misty yet gentle.

Qin Ruojing and Chu Ge did not interrupt her and listened quietly, each filled with mixed emotions.

Who would have thought that beneath Qin Ruoying's seemingly carefree and rough exterior lay such a delicate journey of the heart.

"In the end, I realized that I truly fell in love with you, hopelessly and irrevocably in love. So... even though I know there can be no result between us, even though I know I shouldn't stay by your side, I just can't make up my mind to leave here."

At this point, Qin Ruoying smiled again, but the smile was indescribably bitter. She hesitated for a few seconds and sighed softly.

"The reason I drank so much today is that I miss you so much. The reason I came here is not because I entered the wrong room, but because I wanted to feel your presence here. I knew the bed had your scent, but I really didn't expect you to come back suddenly, let alone..."

When Qin Ruoying finished speaking, the room fell into silence, only the sigh, filled with so much meaning, lingered for a long time until Qin Ruojing turned her gaze to Chu Ge.

"Chu Ge, after hearing my sister say so much, don't you have something to say?"

"I..." Chu Ge looked at Qin Ruoying, and after a pause, he said five words, "I'm sorry, thank you."

"You... where did your usual eloquence go? Forget it, since you won't speak, I'll speak." Qin Ruojing pinched the bridge of her nose, glancing at Chu Ge with mock annoyance, "As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, so I, an elder sister, am like a mother. Today, I'll make a decision for Ruoying."

Chu Ge's nerves tensed, and all his attention focused on Qin Ruojing, while Qin Ruoying lowered her head again.

"Tomorrow's wedding photos will be taken by the three of us together, and next month's wedding will be held by the three of us, just as I said earlier. From today, you will not only be my husband, Qin Ruojing's, but also Qin Ruoying's husband."

Even though Chu Ge was mentally prepared, when he heard Qin Ruojing say this, he was still taken aback, and his brow instinctively furrowed, "This... Ruojing, the three of us, how..."

Qin Ruojing glared at Chu Ge, "Let me finish."

Chu Ge immediately fell silent, but he still couldn't figure out how a man and two women could take wedding photos and hold a wedding ceremony.

Even if he was willing, and the Qin family sisters were willing, would the Qin family elders agree? How could they face the disgrace? Wouldn't they be enraged? Given Qin Yan's temper, wouldn't he shoot him in anger?

Even in the best-case scenario, if the elders agreed, the law in Hua Country wouldn't allow it, nor would societal norms accept such a thing.

Qin Ruojing didn't keep Chu Ge waiting long and quickly offered an explanation.

"What I mean is that although the three of us will take wedding photos, each time you take a photo, you'll have only one person by your side. For example, I'll wear the first wedding dress and take a photo with you, then Ruoying will wear another outfit and take the second set of wedding photos with you."

"As for the wedding ceremony, it will be the same. During each segment, there will only be one of us sisters by your side. Now, do you understand?"

Chu Ge understood but remained dumbfounded looking at Qin Ruojing. This idea... was simply too crazy.

After a moment, Chu Ge finally said in astonishment, "You're saying... to keep it a secret during the wedding photos and ceremony, to deceive everyone?"

Qin Ruojing nodded, "Exactly. I want my parents to live a few more years. If this were exposed, I truly fear they'd die from rage."

Although he understood Qin Ruojing's intention, Chu Ge still felt uneasy, hesitance written across his face, "But this... will this work?"

Qin Ruojing gave Chu Ge a sideways glance and snorted, "What if it doesn't work? Do you have a better idea?"

Hearing Qin Ruojing say this, Chu Ge stopped speaking again, awkwardly rubbed his nose, and turned to look at Qin Ruoying, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

He and Qin Ruojing were legally married, but Qin Ruoying would have no title or status. Should Qin Ruoying's prime youth be wasted on him like this?

For Qin Ruoying, no, for the sisters and the Qin family, this was truly unfair.

Moreover, once this matter is exposed, it will undoubtedly be a blow that the Qin Family cannot bear.

Thinking of this, Chu Ge tightly furrowed his brows, and suddenly stood up from the edge of the bed, stating decisively, "No, I don't agree!"

Chu Ge suddenly stood up, startling Qin Ruoying. Her body trembled slightly, and she immediately turned her gaze to Chu Ge, biting her lip tightly, with her eyes slightly red.

Qin Ruojing smiled faintly, sitting steadily on the swivel chair, her gaze calm as she looked at Chu Ge, "What's your reason? What's your reason for disagreeing?"

"It's unfair to both you and Ruoying."

Qin Ruojing nodded, lightly said "oh", then gracefully stood up from the swivel chair, and walked step by step to Chu Ge's side, the two of them meeting each other's eyes.

Qin Ruojing didn't speak for a long time, just stared at Chu Ge with a calm expression. Chu Ge could initially meet her gaze, but after a few seconds, his gaze began to waver, and the intense emotion on his face gradually faded.

"I believe in the sincerity in your heart when you said 'unfair'. I'm also gratified by your sense of responsibility and even thankful that you didn't gloat but focused on us sisters first. But... please think carefully, what you did in the past and now, is it fair to us?"

"I..." Although Qin Ruojing's expression and tone were calm, each word was like a knife, and Chu Ge couldn't help but look away from Qin Ruojing, not knowing how to answer the question she posed.

"I remember you once told me something — there might be 100% justice in this world, but there's definitely not 100% fairness. Have you already forgotten what you yourself said?"

"Moreover, do you think acting this way is good for me or my sister? Don't you feel that rejecting my proposal would hurt her even more? Do you know what your current actions are called?"

Qin Ruojing paused, suddenly and without warning pushed Chu Ge onto the bed, "It's called gaining an advantage and pretending to be virtuous."

When it comes to feelings, Chu Ge has always been indecisive. Today, he finally made a firm and resolute decision, only to be rendered speechless by Qin Ruojing's words.

He always thought he wasn't the kind of person who would make arbitrary decisions for someone under the pretext of "it's for your own good." However, faced with today's situation, he lost his composure and did just that.

After calming down a bit, sitting on the bed, Chu Ge gave a bitter smile. Indeed, he had been too presumptuous. Matters of the heart are never clear-cut. Often, there's no right or wrong, as the future is always filled with uncertainty.

Watching Qin Ruojing look down at him, Chu Ge sheepishly scratched his nose, "I... was wrong. If Ruoying has no objections, then I agree."

"Ruoying has no objections. I already asked for her consent earlier." Qin Ruojing smiled slightly, "Stop putting on such an aggrieved look. To be honest, aren't you secretly pleased?"

Chu Ge shook his head, hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Even he wasn't sure what he wanted to express. Although he wasn't as agitated anymore, his heart was still in turmoil. This feeling was truly too complex.

He had no idea whether following him would make Qin Ruoying happy or whether agreeing was the right or wrong decision.

Seeing Chu Ge shaking his head and then nodding again, with such an entangled expression, Qin Ruojing smiled helplessly and called to her sister, "Ruoying, why are you sitting so far away? Come over."

Qin Ruoying blushed slightly, her expression showing a bit of shyness, but after hesitating for a moment or two, she moved closer and sat down next to Chu Ge, her head lowered, twisting her fingers, not showing any of her usual playful demeanor, looking like a bashful young wife.

Qin Ruoying sat to the right of Chu Ge, and Qin Ruojing sat to his left. She took her sister's left hand and Chu Ge's right hand, placing their palms together. She smiled slightly and then placed her right hand on the back of Chu Ge's hand.

Feeling the tender touch from the delicate hands on both his palm and the back of his hand, seeing Qin Ruoying's shy and sweet expression and Qin Ruojing's thoughtful and relieved smile, Chu Ge unconsciously scratched his nose with his free hand and smiled foolishly.

Qin Ruoying finally smiled too. Chu Ge's palm made her feel so secure and warm. From now on, she could finally face this relationship with a lifted chest and head, no longer enduring the torment of longing.

Although for Qin Ruoying, this ease could only be found when she was alone with Chu Ge or when the three of them were together. When there were outsiders around, she still had to maintain the relationship between "little sister-in-law" and "brother-in-law" with Chu Ge. But even so, she was genuinely satisfied.

Time flowed quietly. The three people's hands were tightly linked together, and their hearts also drew closer in this warm atmosphere.

After a few minutes, Qin Ruojing gently patted the back of Chu Ge's hand and moved her delicate hand aside.

Next, it was her turn to play the role of atmosphere killer.
