Also known as: After Breaking Up, My Rival is Bound to the Virtuous Husband System.
As a game engineer, the female lead, Pei Wu, was questioned by players for never having been in love. So, s...
As if possessed, Shen Yu'nan replied with an "okay".
He reached out and took Pei Wu's hand that was stroking his hair. He placed her hand on his face and stroked his face with it again and again, looking up into Pei Wu's eyes.
At this moment, their eyes met, and it was the first time Pei Wu had truly seen Shen Yu Nan's appearance.
Although he has a face similar to Shao Sang's, Shen Yunan's slightly upturned, narrow eyes, along with the small red mole on the tip of his nose, give him a more alluring charm. However, his dark eyes are calm and composed, and his temperament does not quite match his appearance.
Pei Wu felt the other person stroking the back of her hand; the calluses on his fingertips tickled the soft back of Pei Wu's hand.
Pei Wu felt an itch on the back of her hand.
Even if it was just a game to her, she had promised herself she would stay with him until the end...
Thinking about this, Shen Yu Nan suddenly felt enlightened. He suddenly didn't want to dwell on many things anymore; he just wanted to enjoy the present moment with Pei Wu.
Shen Yu'nan licked his lips and asked Pei Wu, "But if we get married, what about his side..."
Pei Wu took a moment to realize that the "he" Shen Yu Nan was referring to was 'Shao Sang'.
“I talked to him clearly last night, and he agreed to a peaceful divorce. Don’t worry, he has already signed the divorce agreement, and the lawyer is already processing the paperwork. At the latest…” Pei Wu glanced at her watch, “I can get the divorce certificate before noon.”
The real world Pei Wu lives in is different from the game world. Compared to the polygamous system in the game world, the real world has long practiced monogamy. Having grown up in this world, Pei Wu also advocates monogamy. Therefore, she chose to divorce Ye Shaosang, who was using a fake identity, and then marry Shen Yu Nan.
In her eyes, Shao Sang, who lacked Shen Yu Nan's soul, was merely a robot.
"..." Shen Yu Nan paused for a moment before saying, "A quick divorce and a quick remarriage... and my... mother's side..." Shen Yu Nan hesitated, knowing that Pei's mother did not like him.
"Don't worry, you just need to agree to marry me, and I'll handle the rest." Pei Wu suddenly smiled. "Besides, isn't this kind of whirlwind marriage and divorce quite in line with the Pei family's style?" Pei Wu stroked Shen Yu Nan's thin face. "Don't worry about what others think, our own happiness is the most important thing."
In contrast to Shen Yu Nan, Pei Wu, who had rather low emotional intelligence, never had any heavy thoughts. She focused solely on her research and never made things difficult for herself in terms of interpersonal relationships.
Dr. Zhang had mentioned to Pei Wu that Shen Yu Nan was suffering from severe mental exhaustion. He was preoccupied with many thoughts and had a lot of inner turmoil, which was also the reason why his health had been declining in the past two years. The key to improving his health was to help him clear his mind and avoid internal strife.
"Don't you want to marry me?" Pei Wu asked again when she saw Shen Yu Nan remain silent.
“I didn’t mean to…” Shen Yu Nan answered almost subconsciously. Only when his mind caught up with his mouth did he belatedly realize that his cheeks had turned slightly red. The words he was about to say stopped abruptly, and the slight burning on his cheeks made Shen Yu Nan shyly turn his head away.
Pei Wu, however, noticed the other person's slightly reddened earlobes and the slightly reddened neck below them.
'How come I never noticed before that he was so shy?'
Pei Wu watched, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
"This belongs to you, and I'm returning it to you now."
As she spoke, Pei Wu took out the wedding ring that originally belonged to 'Shao Sang' from her pocket and put it on Shen Yu Nan's ring finger again.
After lying in bed for more than a year, Shen Yu'nan was quite thin, and the ring was even a little too big for him.
“It’s a bit too big, how about we get a different one?” Pei Wu said, preparing to take the ring off Shen Yu Nan’s hand, but Shen Yu Nan clenched his fist and stopped her. “This one is fine.”
Pei Wu's smile deepened. "Okay, if you say it's good, then it's good. Just make sure you eat more and gain some weight."
Shen Yunan gave a soft "Mmm," but still tilted his head slightly, looking quite shy. Seeing this, Pei Wu subconsciously opened her mouth and asked, "Can I... kiss you?"
Hearing Pei Wu speak ambiguous words in a light tone, Shen Yu Nan felt his breath catch and his throat tighten. He unconsciously rolled his delicate Adam's apple a few times before nodding. The curve of his nod was not large, but Pei Wu clearly caught it, and even caught the other's trembling eyelashes.
Since the two recognized each other last night, Pei Wu did not stay overnight at Shen Yu Nan's place. The only intimate contact they seemed to have was when they accidentally touched each other's hands while washing dishes in the morning... and they separated as if they had been electrocuted.
Seeing Shen Yu Nan nod, Pei Wu leaned forward slightly and placed her lips on Shen Yu Nan's lips. At the same time, she repeatedly stroked the ring on Shen Yu Nan's finger.
Even though it was just a kiss on the corner of his lips, it made Shen Yu Nan's body tremble slightly. Fortunately, he had injected an inhibitor last night, but even with the inhibitor, his shoulders were still trembling, as were his eyelashes.
Pei Wu simply kissed the corner of the other person's lips before withdrawing her action.
