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...
"Hey, can't you just give me some face?"
Seeing Jin Wei get up to leave, Jin Mu subconsciously raised her voice.
"..." Jin Wei did not answer the other party's question, but picked up his suit jacket and prepared to leave, leaving only his back to his sister. He even waved his hand in an attempt to stop Jin Mu from continuing to speak.
Jin Mu clicked her tongue again, helplessly propped her hand on the table, and looked at her younger brother's back as if she suddenly remembered something. She then shouted at the top of her lungs, "Last time... I ran into Pei Wu from 'Bei Shang' on a blind date here in this restaurant."
Sure enough, Jin Wei paused in his tracks when Pei Wu's name was mentioned, but he still didn't turn around. Jin Mu, who was only three or four steps away, could almost feel the low pressure around Jin Wei.
After standing there for a few seconds, Jin Wei finally said "Oh?" From Jin Mu's angle, he could only see that Jin Wei had his head down, his bangs slightly obscuring his eyes. He pushed up his glasses and asked, "When did this happen?"
But his voice was low and emotionless.
"It happened around last week... or maybe last month."
Hearing Jin Mu's ambiguous answer, Jin Wei turned his head slightly to look at him, and gave him a glare with a slight raised eyebrow.
"I have no reason to lie to you. I've just returned to reality from a virtual game, and I'm a little out of it regarding time."
Jin Mu wasn't lying to Jin Wei. Before entering the game, she did indeed meet Pei Wu, who was being set up on a blind date by her family. Pei Wu was not young anymore, and her family had been pressuring her to get married for the past two years. She did indeed have plans to find a suitable person to marry.
Jin Wei gave a vague "hmm" and walked away again. Even after he got into the car, all he could think about was what Jin Mu had just told him. Despite trying his best to suppress his anger, he still exploded when he was alone, slamming his hand on the steering wheel.
Just then, Jin Wei's phone rang. It was his secretary calling. He paused for a moment before answering.
"What's up?"
"Mr. Jin, Pei Wu from 'Beishang' has come to visit."
"..." Upon hearing the secretary's words, Jin Wei felt a sudden rush of energy to his head. He instinctively tightened his grip on his phone, but remembering what Jin Mu had just said to him, his tone carried a hint of displeasure: "Did she say what it was about? If it's work-related, the case manager can negotiate with her."
She said it was a private matter.
"..." Jin Wei was stubborn, but his eyelids twitched, and he slightly raised his chin in silence.
“Then tell her that I only have one hour free at six o’clock tonight, and she can come to ‘Gu Yi’ if she’s free.”
"yes."
After hanging up the phone, Jin Wei sat in the car for a while, then sent a WeChat message to his sister.
"Since Mom, Dad, and you all think Ms. Zhang is nice, let's arrange a meeting. I have an hour free tonight at six."
'knew. '
Jin Mu replied to the message very quickly, as if he had expected it.
**
Jin Wei, who was supposed to meet at 6 p.m., was absent-minded all afternoon. He not only spaced out during the meeting, but he could also lose focus when his secretary was talking to him.
One second he was preoccupied with work, the next he was distracted by what Pei Wu wanted to talk to him about, completely oblivious to what his secretary was saying, and preoccupied with the time.
There was still an hour until 6 p.m., but Jin Wei was already standing in front of the full-length mirror in his dressing room in his lounge.
He changed out of the black shirt he had worn during the day and into a violet shirt.
"You look great in purple."
Pei Wu's expression and tone when she said those words suddenly entered Jin Wei's mind. Recalling this, he paused slightly while tying his tie. After looking up at himself in the mirror, he continued tying the black tie, and then adjusted the buttons on his cuffs.
Jin Wei and Pei Wu are the same age, both twenty-seven this year. It's understandable that they would be urged to get married by their elders at this age.
