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...
Without his glasses, Jin Wei's vision was a little blurry. He closed his eyes slightly and pinched his brow.
Because he is of mixed race, his skin is very fair, so even the slightest blush cannot be hidden. Surrounded by hormones stirred up by a kiss, Jin Wei's mixed-race appearance, with its bright and intense features, is a stunningly beautiful face that attracts attention at first glance.
Perhaps because the atmosphere was rather awkward, Jin Wei reached for the coffee on the coffee table and took a small sip.
The liquid slid down his throat, causing his delicate Adam's apple to bob slightly. His long neck and perfectly positioned, slightly protruding Adam's apple made the bobbing motion rather... erotic.
Pei Wu looked at it... and unconsciously shifted her gaze.
"Hmm?" Jin Wei unconsciously raised an eyebrow and put down his coffee cup.
"Why are you..." Jin Wei leaned forward slightly as he spoke, even reaching out to hook Pei Wu's chin and gently lifting it with his fingertips. "Are you blushing?"
A few specks of coffee residue lingered on Jin Wei's lips, shimmering with a 'magical' luster under the neon lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, making his gestures and speech all the more ambiguous.
Pei Wu smiled slightly, then raised her hand and used her fingertips to wipe away the coffee stains from the other person's lips.
"You...look...charming."
Both of them were stunned when she spoke and when her fingertips touched the other's soft lips.
Pei Wu's actions were subconscious, because subconsciously she still regarded the other person as her legally married partner.
However, for Jin Wei, he had never been so intimate with Pei Wu before, so when Pei Wu said those words, even she herself regretted it a little, feeling that her words were too frivolous.
Jin Wei's cheeks grew increasingly hot from Pei Wu's teasing, and he even avoided looking away, feigning a light cough. Turning his head away from Pei Wu, Jin Wei displayed his long neck to her. His heart pounded, and his lowered eyelids trembled involuntarily. He was even anticipating Pei Wu's next move.
However, in just a few seconds, it was as if the scene had been frozen in time.
Jin Wei was even afraid that the quiet atmosphere would allow Pei Wu to hear his wildly beating heart.
The awkward situation was broken when Pei Wu picked up the glasses that Jin Wei had casually placed on the sofa and put them on him.
"It's getting late... I think I should go back." Pei Wu's voice was hoarse. Although she looked no different from usual, only she knew how hard she was trying to control the surging hormones in her body.
Pei Wu still had her own principles. Although they were husband and wife in the game, they were now in the real world and not legally recognized partners. If possible, she didn't want them to end up together because of an accidental pregnancy, like in the game.
This time, she wanted to date like any other couple, taking things one step at a time and having a proper relationship.
And considering the conversation we had in the car after we came back from the movie last time...
"..." A hint of surprise flashed in Jin Wei's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
She silently cursed to herself, 'As expected... still a blockhead. No, what am I expecting...?'
He quickly composed himself, replied "okay," and then said, "I'll take you downstairs."
So, am I expecting the other person... to do something to me?
Thinking of this, Jin Wei's heart pounded like a drum.
"Okay." Pei Wu brushed aside the stray hairs on Jin Wei's forehead and then gently kissed his forehead.
