Pei Wu paused for a moment, then pursed her lips slightly. She tilted her head slightly to look at Jin Wei, who had just kissed her but was now eating as if nothing had happened. His thin-rimmed glasses reflected the light, obscuring his expression, but his hands moved deftly and slowly as he cut his steak.

His actions just now caused quite a stir in the restaurant. Even Wei Guangmo, who was sitting by the window, turned his head to look. He raised his eyebrows with interest before looking away and taking a sip of his coffee.

Meanwhile, Wei Guangmo's blind date, sitting opposite him, smiled faintly and turned her gaze away from Pei Wu and Jin Wei, saying, "So there's truth to the saying 'hearing is believing, seeing is believing.' It's clear that those rumors about you and President Pei are just... gossip."

"What you hear is often false, and what you see isn't necessarily true either." Wei Guangmo glanced at the woman opposite him. "Miss Zhou seems... rather superficial."

The woman wasn't annoyed by Wei Guangmo's words; instead, her smile deepened. "For me, it would be an honor to meet Mr. Wei, or even to have a meal with him."

“That shouldn’t be the case, Miss Zhou, at your age… it doesn’t seem like someone who hasn’t seen a man before. Your greasy remarks only make me feel disgusted.” Wei Guangmo withdrew his hand from his coffee and glanced at his watch. “I have some things to take care of. Goodbye.”

Seeing that Wei Guangmo was about to leave, Miss Zhou also stood up. "I...I was telling the truth."

"Thank you for your...honor, Miss Zhou? Farewell." Wei Guangmo reached out to stop her from seeing him off. "That's enough, don't bother seeing me off."

"It seems this Miss Zhou isn't his type." Jin Wei didn't even look up as he spoke, his gaze fixed on the steak on his plate. His long fingers held the silver knife and fork, and his ears were slightly red, still bearing the lingering kiss from their recent encounter.

"When it comes to blind dates, if there's no chemistry and the interaction isn't comfortable, there's naturally no need to continue. But... just now...did your behavior mean...you agreed to date me?"

Upon catching the word 'dating', Jin Wei paused slightly in his steak-cutting motion. His eyelids trembled slightly before he looked up. "Does President Pei think I've been wasting my time with you these past few days?" Jin Wei adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "You yourself said that if there's no chemistry, there's no need to continue something that's uncomfortable to be around."

“So…” Pei Wu hesitated for a moment before drawing out the last syllable, “I meet President Jin’s standards, he feels comfortable around me, and he’s interested in developing a relationship with me further.”

"...It's all thanks to your comprehension, Mr. Pei..."

Before Jin Wei could finish speaking, Pei Wu silenced him with a kiss.

Pei Wu stood up slightly, stretched out her arm, and placed her hand on the back of Jin Wei's head. With a slight push, their lips met again. This time, Pei Wu could clearly feel the outline of his lips and the taste of the sauce left between their lips from the steak.

Jin Wei looked visibly surprised.

Pei Wu quickly withdrew her action.

"Take the initiative... and leave it to me."

Pei Wu did not immediately withdraw her hand from the other person's head. At this moment, she was half-bent over, her fingertips stroking the other person's hair, and speaking gently.
