Qin Ruojing gazed into Chu Ge's eyes and slowly said, "As for Tong Yaqi, let's leave it at that, but regarding the other women involved with you..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ge felt a tightness in his heart, and the bitter smile on his face grew more pronounced. However, Qin Ruojing paused for a few seconds, her gaze shifting briefly, and she finally shook her head, "Forget it, let's sleep."

There were some things Qin Ruojing cared about very much and wanted to know, but when the words reached her lips, she suddenly didn't want to know anymore, just like the four words Chu Ge often said, "Ignorance is bliss."

Qin Ruojing sighed silently. Perhaps it's better not to know some things?

After speaking, Qin Ruojing turned her back to Chu Ge and lay down again. Chu Ge couldn't quite describe how he felt, as though he was relieved, yet also a bit lonely and regretful.

Until a voice suddenly sounded in Chu Ge's ears, startling him momentarily, making him doubt his hearing.

"Come up."

"Wha... what?"

"If you didn't hear it, never mind."

How could Chu Ge just let it go? Even though he suspected he might have misheard, he got onto the bed, lifted the blanket, and lay down next to Qin Ruojing.

Breathing in Qin Ruojing's scent up close, Chu Ge couldn't help feeling somewhat moved and intoxicated. He hesitated for a moment before finally extending his hand towards Qin Ruojing, and although his movements were slow, he didn't stop this time.

This feeling of excitement had nothing to do with anything else. He simply wanted, after everything that had happened, to hold Qin Ruojing's hand purely as her husband.

Just as his fingers were about to touch Qin Ruojing's hand, she softly uttered three words, "Hold my hand."

Chu Ge's fingers trembled slightly, and he saw Qin Ruojing turn to face him, their eyes meeting.

At this moment, Chu Ge had no hesitation whatsoever, holding Qin Ruojing's hand tightly, his heart filled with endless tenderness.

"You... you're such a lovable yet infuriating bastard, how did so many women end up being blind to it?"

Listening to Qin Ruojing's whispers, Chu Ge held her hand even tighter.

That night, there was no passionate reunion, no gusty downpour, only a warm feeling of understanding and being understood between loved ones, quietly spreading in the silent bedroom.

The day gradually brightened. Chu Ge opened his eyes, looked at Qin Ruojing's serene sleeping face, got out of bed quietly, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

As the aroma of pumpkin porridge wafted from the kitchen, Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying also got up in succession. After washing up, the three of them sat at the table, having breakfast as usual.

The difference from usual was that the relationship between the three of them had completely changed.

After breakfast, Qin Ruojing called the owner of a top wedding photography studio in Lidu City. As the chairwoman of the Tianjiao Group, she certainly didn't need to make appointments. The chief photographers, whom ordinary people couldn't easily book even with connections, were completely at her beck and call.

Keep in mind that the Tianjiao Group is a big client of the studio. Just the annual expenses generated by Tianjiao Film and Television alone are a significant income for the studio. Furthermore, Tianjiao Group is flourishing in Lidu, so the studio owner is more than happy to form a good relationship with Qin Ruojing.

For such a joyous occasion as taking wedding photos, Qin Ruoying suggested using the fiery red Ferrari 458, saying that the red color symbolizes celebration and perfectly suits the occasion.

Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing readily accepted Qin Ruoying's suggestion. At 9:30, Chu Ge drove the Qin sisters to the busiest area of the city, arriving punctually in front of a studio called "New Bride."

This five-story "New Bride" studio was indeed magnificent. Its exterior walls were gilded, covered with exquisite European reliefs. Cupid was in the process of bending a bow to shoot an arrow. A huge LED screen embedded on a wall spanning three floors played ads for the studio and some sweet and romantic wedding photos.

In front of the studio was a small square around 500 square meters. The square's center featured a cluster of connected European-style gazebos where some studio staff were conducting promotional activities.

Although it was just past 9 am, many soon-to-be-married couples and fashionable, beautiful young women were already sitting around, listening to the staff's introductions and flipping through sample albums, clearly indicating the studio's popularity was very high.

After parking the Ferrari, Chu Ge and the Qin sisters walked across the "New Bride" studio's forecourt, instantly attracting a lot of admiring glances.

Beauty always catches the eye, especially beauties like Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying. Moreover, they were an identical twin pair, making it almost impossible for them not to be noticed when they walked together.

When the three of them reached the vicinity of the European-style gazebos, a young woman responsible for the event at the studio immediately approached them with a polite smile, "Excuse me, sorry for the interruption. Are the three of you here to take wedding photos?"

After speaking, the younger sister realized her words sounded strange. How could there be a wedding photo with three people in it? But before she could correct her slip, Qin Ruoying chuckled and nodded at her.

"Yes, the three of us are here for a wedding photo shoot, one man and two women. Is there a special discount for that?"

The younger sister was a bit taken aback and instinctively asked, "Uh, you three... for a wedding photo?"

Qin Ruoying laughed even more brightly, holding onto Chu Ge's arm, and gave the younger sister a sweet smile, "Yes, is there a problem?"

"Xiao Ying!" Qin Ruojing sighed in frustration, giving Qin Ruoying a disapproving look, and then smiled apologetically at the slightly stunned studio girl, "Sorry, she's just joking."

Qin Ruoying laughed even more brightly, nonchalantly glancing at Qin Ruojing, "I just wanted to see if the studio's services were comprehensive enough. I've heard some studios offer free wedding photos for same-sex couples. What's the harm in asking, right?"

After speaking, Qin Ruoying turned her gaze back to the studio girl, "Given our special situation, can we apply for a discount?"

Although Chu Ge was speechless, seeing Qin Ruoying return to her usual mischievous self, he couldn't help but laugh along.

Qin Ruojing's headache worsened. She had clearly instructed Qin Ruoying before they left, and Qin Ruoying had promised to behave, but here she was, causing a commotion before even entering the studio!

"Miss Qin?"

Just as Qin Ruojing was feeling helpless, a man's voice came from behind. She turned to see him and smiled, nodding, "Mr. Shi, long time no see. Your business is still doing well, I see."

Mr. Shi had come out specially to greet Qin Ruojing. Hearing her words, he immediately smiled modestly.

"Miss Qin, you're teasing me. My little studio is nothing compared to your Tianjiao Group. It's my honor that you chose us for your wedding photos."

After a couple more pleasantries, Mr. Shi glanced at Qin Ruoying and Chu Ge, giving Qin Ruojing an inquisitive look. Qin Ruojing introduced them to Mr. Shi, and after some brief exchanges, they entered the studio.

The younger sister who had spoken earlier watched their backs and took a moment to process it.

So that woman is Qin Ruojing, the chairperson of Tianjiao Group? Wow, she's so young to be the head of such a huge group! And she's so beautiful! Plus, she has an identical twin sister who's stunning too?

Why is it that even though we're about the same age, she's rich and beautiful, cruising in a Ferrari, greeted personally by the studio owner, while I'm just a girl at the studio? Comparing myself to her is downright depressing!

Beyond these points, there was something else that caught the younger sister's attention.

If she didn't mishear, Qin Ruojing introduced her fiancé as Chu Ge? Could it be possible that this man is the same Chu Ge that her friend Xiaobai mentioned before?

After pondering for a moment, the studio girl quietly stepped aside and dialed her boyfriend's number.

Chu Ge and the others were led to the top-floor VIP room by Mr. Shi, who personally brought them beverages and various wedding photo sample albums, explaining the details related to wedding photos.

What surprised Mr. Shi was, after explaining everything and preparing to arrange a makeup artist for Qin Ruojing, she shook her head at him.

"No need for a makeup artist, but I do need you to put in some effort in terms of the photographer."

Mr. Shi hesitated momentarily, awkwardly rubbing his hands, feeling a bit apprehensive as he said, "Miss Qin, you don't have to worry. The makeup artist I recommend is our best, even winning awards in prestigious national competitions."

Qin Ruojing knew Mr. Shi misunderstood her intentions, thinking she distrusted their studio's makeup artists, so she gave him a slight smile.

"Mr. Shi, do you think I wouldn't trust someone you arranged? It's just that I want my most authentic self captured in the wedding photos, so I don't want any elaborate makeup, so there's no need to trouble you about the makeup artist. Just give me some basic items."

What she didn't say was that having a makeup artist would complicate her plans for the day.

After all, if she used a makeup artist, she'd need to arrange one for her sister too, which might raise suspicion.

Even taking that out of the equation, using elaborate makeup and hairstyles would make it harder for her and her sister to look completely identical, too easy for their disguise to be seen through.

To ensure having a wedding photo shoot with her sister and Chu Ge today, Qin Ruojing put in significant effort, having considered all possibilities well in advance. This plan was too unconventional, and she had to ensure nothing would go wrong.
