"Alright, alright, then I won't say it, I won't say it, okay?"
"Do you have any other quilts at home? Where are they?"
"What for? You want to lie down and sleep with me? One bed is enough. Lie down next to me, come, I'll hold you while I sleep."
"Hold your sister." Ge'er pulled the quilt off him.
"I'm going to stuff this into the washing machine right now and find a new one to cover myself with. You're still so glib with a stomachache, why don't you just die from it?"
Shang Jincheng was so scared he didn't dare to say anything else.
Ge'er boiled water for him and put it down on the coffee table with annoyance.
"There, you won't die now. I'm leaving."
"Ah? Leaving already? Aren't you going to make me some dinner?"
"Am I your housekeeper?"
"Of course not. When I get better, I'll be your housekeeper. Good Ge'er, I'm really hungry. Just be a good person to the end, see the Buddha to the West, make me something to eat before you go."
Ge'er glared at him through gritted teeth for a few seconds, then took out her phone.
"What do you want to eat? Chicken congee from Zhenbao Zhai, is that okay?"
"It's fine. You're still the one who's good to me."
"If you shut your mouth and were a mute forever, I could be even better to you."
Shang Jincheng quickly shut his mouth, scared.
But he was only quiet for two seconds before he timidly raised his hand again.
Ge'er rolled her eyes and asked him, "What is it now?"
He said cautiously, "Order one for yourself too. It's so lonely to eat alone, keep me company."
Ge'er disagreed, "You're lonely, I'm not. I find it noisy."
"It's okay if I don't talk. When people get sick, they're especially fragile. I'll cry if you leave."
Ge'er said, "Shang Jincheng, do you know why I don't like you? Although you're tall and strong, you're actually a sissy at heart."
"Don't act spoiled with me. With you like this, even if I had 100 more chances, I wouldn't like you."
In the end, she didn't stay. After ordering dinner for him, she left.
Shang Jincheng was very frustrated and called Jiang Jingyu for help.
Jiang Jingyu listened to his description: "Don't say she doesn't look at you, I feel disgusted just hearing you talk. You're a grown man, can't you be more manly, more resolute, more gentlemanly?"
"What woman doesn't want a strong shoulder to lean on? Especially with her personality. Do you think she'd look at you when you're so pathetic?"
Shang Jincheng said, "I'm just trying to make her happy. You don't know how manly I am in front of other women."
"Then go to other women, and leave my sister in peace."
"No, no, no, brother-in-law, I just misspoke. I was wrong. Hurry and give me some advice, help me. I don't want a divorce, I don't want a divorce!"
Jiang Jingyu pondered for a few seconds: "I'll help you one last time. If you can't seize the opportunity, don't blame me."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jingyu schemed for a while and arranged a business trip for himself.
Since they both worked at Zhan's Group, Ge'er soon found out that Jiang Jingyu had to go personally to handle a project issue.
She sent Jiang Jingyu a WeChat message: "You just promised your sister-in-law a few days ago that you would spend a lot of time with her, and now you're going on a business trip. What if she makes a fuss again?"
Jiang Jingyu replied: "I'm also worried about this. I was planning to discuss it with you. What do you think we should do?"
Ge'er: "How about I go on the business trip for you?"
Jingyu: "No, I've been in charge of this project from the beginning. It wouldn't be right for you to take over if something goes wrong. Would I still be considered a man? How about you come over tomorrow morning and say you want to spend the weekend with her, to distract her, and I'll come back after I finish dealing with things?"
How pitiful, her brother was already this humble. Ge'er had no reason not to help.
"Okay. Remember my great kindness, Jiang Jingyu."
The next morning, Ge'er dressed up beautifully and went to Jiang Jingyu's house. She told Tong An'an that she had a great time playing with her last time and felt lonely spending the weekend alone. She wanted to spend it with her again and asked Tong An'an to do her the honor.
Tong An'an and Jiang Jingyu exchanged a secret glance. They felt both pity and amusement for this sister who was being toyed with but still looked so serious.
