Chapter 1004 - 1003: The Honeymoon Question
That night, Qin Yan and his wife slept very late, and Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing also went to bed only in the wee hours.Besides some things not suitable for outsiders, they talked about events at the wedding, and whether they should go on a honeymoon and, if so, where to go.
Regarding this, Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing had discussed before but never settled on anything.
After all, since the founding of Tianjiao Group, Qin Ruojing has never been away for a long time. She worries that if anything were to happen, she couldn't manage from afar. It would be disappointing if she's out having fun and suddenly needed to return to the company.
Moreover, Tianqing Company is going through quite a turbulent time right now; who knows what sudden chaos might arise?
Regarding a honeymoon, Chu Ge was quite enthusiastic, thinking that Qin Ruojing is usually so busy, she should take this chance to relax. If they don't take this opportunity now, it will be even harder once Qin Ruojing has children.
If it were about money, they could forgo the honeymoon, but they're not short on money, so why deny themselves?
Qin Ruojing was also tempted, thinking Chu Ge made good points. More importantly, she felt she owed her sister for the wedding, which is sacred and important to any woman. Taking her sister on a trip could serve as a compensation.
After much deliberation, they finally decided on taking the honeymoon. Why not go? They must go!
After deciding to go on a honeymoon, they continued discussing where to travel.
On this matter, Chu Ge was quite indifferent; he just wanted to relax without work. Anywhere would do. Qin Ruojing similarly didn't care too much about the destination; for her, travel is about who you're with, not where you go.
With one's beloved, even a wilderness feels sweet and secure, and everything appears beautiful.
With someone you dislike, even Paris, France with the Eiffel Tower, doesn't compare to happiness at Harbin Dragon Tower. Even the world-famous Sydney Opera House isn't as interesting as an opera in a Northeast City's theater.
If one person had a strong preference, deciding the travel destination would be easier. But since Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing both adopted an "anywhere is fine" attitude, they couldn't decide where to go.
In the end, Qin Ruojing made a decision: since this honeymoon is largely a compensation for her sister Qin Ruoying, they would wait until tomorrow to discuss with Qin Ruoying where she wants to go. Then they would go there, with Qin Ruoying joining them a day or two later.
The next day, Chu Ge, Qin Ruojing, and Qin Ruoying slept in late, getting up after ten o'clock. They had some breakfast at home before heading out together.
The three wandered in a park for a while until they saw two adjacent swings unoccupied in the distance. Qin Ruoying's eyes lit up as she ran over. As children, she and her sister often came here, but nine out of ten times, the swings were occupied, and they rarely got the chance to play.
The sisters sat on the two adjacent swings, leaving Chu Ge to push them, watching them smile radiantly and enjoy themselves, which also made him quite happy.
"Little Ying, last night I discussed the honeymoon plans with your sister. Interested in hearing about it?"
Chu Ge gave Qin Ruoying a push on her swing, seeing her rise high, with a smile, he introduced the topic.
Qin Ruoying was smiling but momentarily froze upon hearing this, her smile becoming slightly unnatural, and a faint sadness appeared in her previously gleaming eyes.
Indeed, they got married, of course, they would go on a honeymoon, while she, the invisible bride, would have to make way for them.
Although Chu Ge's comment unexpectedly made Qin Ruoying feel a pang, she tried hard not to show it, forcing a smile, "My sister is such a workaholic; she wouldn't want to spend so much time playing. After all that discussion, the decision would probably be not to go anywhere, and they might return to Lido in a couple of days, right?"
Chu Ge chuckled noncommittally, giving Qin Ruojing's swing a push, "Wife, did you hear that? Your workaholic image is deeply ingrained, and this label isn't going to come off easily."
Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, "My sister understands me. Why do your words always make it sound so irritating?"
Hearing this, Qin Ruoying inwardly confirmed her suspicions: indeed, though she felt relieved not to separate from Chu Ge and her sister, there was also a sense of regret.
In her view, her sister is always so busy, and it's so rare to have a legitimate chance to go out and have fun, yet she still wants to give it up. This isn't just being a workaholic; it could even be called self-punishment.
Even though it has nothing to do with her if Chu Ge and her sister go on a honeymoon, she still hopes the two of them can go out and have a good time. Compared to feeling sorry for her sister and Chu Ge, she'd rather feel envy, jealousy, and hatred for them going out to have fun.
Thinking this way, Qin Ruoying looked at Qin Ruojing with great helplessness, "Sis, are you for real? I was just saying it casually. Are you really not going on a honeymoon with brother-in-law? Do you really have a tendency toward self-punishment?"
Qin Ruojing laughed to herself, but on the outside, she gave a very annoyed glare at her sister, "What are you talking about? You're the one with a tendency for self-punishment. I just praised you, and now you're letting me down, can't even take a compliment?"
Qin Ruoying rubbed her forehead, her expression full of conflict.
"Sis, my dear sister, it's not that I can't take a compliment. I'm just stating the facts, okay? If you want to punish yourself, fine. But as my brother-in-law's wife, you should at least consider him. You already lack romance in your lives, and now you have such a legitimate, reasonable, and natural reason to go out and have fun, and yet you're depriving him of the benefits a newlywed deserves, dragging him along to suffer with you. You're worse than the villain Zhou Bapi, aren't you being a bit too demonic?"
Seeing Qin Ruoying's indignant expression, Chu Ge chuckled. Even though it wasn't the first time he had seen these sisters bicker, it seemed like no matter how many times he saw it, he always found it amusing.
Especially... when these sisters bicker over him, it's even more amusing.
Chu Ge had such thoughts, which might seem a bit heartless, but his thoughts were based on knowing that this pair of sisters always quarreled on the surface but were actually incredibly close.
Besides... being able to make a pair of twin sisters fall for him, thinking about him in every aspect, and even willing to make great concessions and sacrifices, if any other man had this, claiming he wouldn't feel a bit proud or accomplished is definitely trying to fool the dead.
Chu Ge laughed, and Qin Ruojing almost laughed too, but she forced herself to hold back her smile and snorted, "I'm dragging him along to suffer with me, so what? Why don't you ask him if he's willing?"
Qin Ruoying glared indignantly and turned her gaze to Chu Ge, "Brother-in-law, tell the truth. Are you truly willing, or just pretending? Just say what you think. I'm unconditionally on your side. The two of us together, can't we handle her?"
Chu Ge grinned, "Willing, I'm really willing."
Hearing Chu Ge say this, Qin Ruoying immediately stomped her foot on the ground, stopping the swinging swing. She glared at Chu Ge, her face full of disappointment and anger.
"You two... forget it. I have no common language with you, I'm so pissed off!"
Qin Ruoying was truly frustrated, muttering in annoyance. She stood up from the swing, stomped her foot, turned around, and was about to pretend to leave.
Seeing Qin Ruoying in such a fury, Chu Ge couldn't help but burst into laughter. The angrier she got now, the more surprised she'd be when he revealed the truth later.
"Xiaoying, you're leaving? That's great, I've been wanting to play on this swing too. You've finally given me the spot."
Chu Ge joked, then sat on the swing Qin Ruoying had just left, pushed off with his foot, and swung high into the air.
Qin Ruoying had thought Chu Ge would coax her to stay, and she never would have imagined he'd say something like that. It's like being kind and being treated like a donkey liver, she felt so wronged she could cry.
"Alright, stop teasing my sister. How can you be so heartless?"
After all, Qin Ruojing cared about her sister. Seeing Qin Ruoying getting angry and Chu Ge still laughing, she quickly called out to her sister, "Xiaoying, wait a moment."
"Wait for what? Wait to hear you two keep making fun of me? Watch you two bully me together?"
Though Qin Ruoying expressed her anger, she stopped her steps and turned to look at Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing on the swing. If they said anything that upset her, she'd definitely walk away and never stop again.
Qin Ruojing chuckled and said, "Actually... your brother-in-law and I do plan to return to Lido in the next few days."
Qin Ruoying huffed and was just about to turn around and walk away when her sister's voice came again. She lifted one foot halfway but put it down again.
