Feeling seen through, Jin Wei sat up a little straighter. Just as he was about to say something, Pei Wu's phone rang.
Pei Wu's phone was connected via Bluetooth, and the car's display showed the name Wei Guangmo. Jin Wei, sitting in the passenger seat, could see it clearly, but upon seeing the name Wei Guangmo, he half-closed his eyes and looked out the window.
Pei Wu pressed the answer button and said "Hello".
Where?
Because Pei Wu's phone was connected to the car's Bluetooth, Wei Guangmo's voice could be clearly heard by Jin Wei.
Jin Wei and Wei Guangmo's animosity has been brewing for a long time. Even now, when Jin Wei hears Wei Guangmo's voice, he subconsciously raises his eyebrows.
"What is it?" Pei Wu asked Wei Guangmo.
"I'm curious why you're not in the lab?" Wei Guangmo continued.
Wei Guangmo was telling the truth. Pei Wu used to live a very simple life, going only between the research lab and home. It would have been easy to find her, but today he was surprised to find that she was nowhere to be found.
"I'm outside, something came up." Pei Wu paused, then asked, "What do you need me for?"
Pei Wu also knew that Wei Guangmo wouldn't come to the research lab to find her unless there was nothing wrong.
"Meng Qinsu's agent just called to say that they have terminated their contract with 'An Yang'."
Upon hearing this, Pei Wu subconsciously glanced at Jin Wei, only to see him reach out and touch his lower abdomen. The movement was small, and he quickly withdrew his hand. The familiar gesture made Pei Wu glance at his less-than-pleasant expression again.
However, Jin Wei, whose complexion was not good at the moment, suddenly felt a...nuan.liu and his face darkened.
“Nobody asked them to terminate their contract with Anyang.”
Wei Guangmo hummed in response and then said, "No one asked them to terminate their contract with 'Anyang'... It's just that the kid's behavior is clearly an attempt to curry favor with you. After all, his actions are bound to anger the company, and he'll probably have to pay a hefty penalty fee out of his own pocket."
"His personal actions have nothing to do with me. I'm hanging up."
After Pei Wu hung up the phone, there was a brief silence in the car. After about two or three seconds, Pei Wu finally spoke, "What were you trying to say?"
Still absorbed in Pei Wu and Wei Guangmo's conversation, Jin Wei subconsciously asked, "What?"
"Was there something you wanted to tell me?"
"..." Jin Wei shook his head, remaining silent, yet still feeling that Pei Wu was incredibly perceptive, even noticing his hesitant gestures...
"All right."
They soon arrived at the mall where the movie theater was located. After Pei Wu parked the car, Jin Wei didn't move for a long time. She tentatively asked, "Are you... not feeling well?"
"..." Jin Wei pursed his lips and remained silent, his head lowered so his expression was unreadable.
Seeing that the other person didn't speak, Pei Wu unconsciously let out a long sigh and said, "Wait for me in the car for a while, I'll be back soon."
After speaking, Pei Wu got out of the car, but she didn't turn off the brakes...
Jin Wei watched Pei Wu's departing figure through the car window... He felt his abdominal cramps getting worse. Now that Pei Wu was gone, he recklessly reached out and rubbed his lower abdomen for a long time. The warm, damp feeling from before was even stronger. He knew his pants must be dirty. The only saving grace was that he was wearing black suit pants today.
"hateful!"
Jin Wei lightly tapped the car window with his clenched fist.
He was absolutely furious; God knows how much he had been looking forward to this day of his date with his crush.
"Between her and Meng Qinsu..."
Thinking this, Jin Wei's head drooped even lower, his hands clenched tighter, and he even felt the cramping pain in his abdomen intensify, causing him to involuntarily gasp, "Hiss..."
About ten minutes later, Pei Wu returned.
“…This…painkiller…” Pei Wu awkwardly reached up and tucked her hair behind her ear. The only men she had ever been in contact with were Shao Sang and Shen Yu Nan, but ultimately they were all the same person as 'Jin Wei'.
Pei Wu's stereotype was that this matter required painkillers, which was something the system had taught her.
Shen Yu'nan takes medicine because he is unwell, but Jin Wei's body... doesn't need it. He only experiences severe pain because of his twice-monthly prenatal checkups.
"And this... it'll feel more comfortable if you put it on your stomach."
The system taught her how to use the heat packs.
"..." Jin Wei was momentarily flustered when he saw the painkillers and heat packs handed to him. "You..." After realizing the meaning behind Pei Wu's actions, his face suddenly turned hot.
"The water might be a little hot."
Jin Wei had no idea where Pei Wu had conjured the thermos from. She thoughtfully opened the lid, and a gentle steam rose from it, carrying a sweet aroma that entered Jin Wei's nostrils.
'This blockhead even knows... brown sugar.'
Despite having these thoughts in mind, Jin Wei asked, "Where did the hot water come from?"
"Huh?" Pei Wu probably didn't expect the other party to ask her this question. She was slightly taken aback before answering, "I exchanged the money for a drink for a cup of hot water."
