Upon seeing the message, Qin Feng sat bolt upright; his first reaction was disbelief.
How could Pei Jin possibly go on a blind date?
But... why is it impossible?
Back then, Qin Feng and Pei Jin's marriage was an arranged marriage between their families. When they first got married, Qin Feng was satisfied with everything except for the sexual position.
Since their marriage was arranged by their families, their family backgrounds shouldn't be too different this time.
Qin Feng clenched his fists and stared at the document in front of him for a long time, but he couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.
Qin Feng hesitated for a while, then sighed, dialed the internal line, and summoned his assistant.
"President Qin."
The assistant quickly pushed the door open and came in.
Qin Feng said, "Help me investigate something."

After getting off work, Pei Jin casually picked up his suit jacket and got into his car when he received a call from his mother, Ms. Lin.
"How is it?"
Ms. Lin's voice remained calm and composed as always, as if she weren't gossiping about her son's love life. "What did you think of your Uncle Sun's youngest son, whom you met last time?"
Pei Jin casually unbuttoned the top two buttons and said, "I can't remember what it looked like."
Ms. Lin pondered for a moment, "Is he not to your liking? I'll introduce you to someone in the entertainment industry next time."
Pei Jin sighed, "It's like I'm some kind of unsellable product, and you and Dad are trying so hard to sell me..."
He was halfway through his sentence when his father interrupted, "A second marriage really isn't worth much."
Pei Jin said, "These are all outdated ideas."
Ms. Lin grabbed the microphone and gave a few instructions. "Today you're meeting a Beta, two years older than you."
Pei Jin quickly agreed, wanting only some peace and quiet.
-
In the past few days, Pei Jin has become more and more familiar with the road to Tangerine Food Chronicle near the company.
He carried his suit jacket, his long hair casually tied in a simple braid behind him, and walked into the familiar private room.
There was already a person sitting inside, with a slightly thin figure and his body wrapped in a black suit.
Pei Jin watched his retreating figure and unconsciously whistled.
She has a pretty good figure...
Qin Feng turned around calmly.
Pei Jin whistled halfway before silently holding it back.
Why is it you?
He made no attempt to hide his astonishment.
Qin Feng pursed his lips. "Please sit down."
Pei Jin was indeed a little curious as to why he had come. After hesitating for a couple of seconds, he finally sat down opposite Qin Feng.
Qin Feng poured a cup of tea and handed it to Pei Jin.
Pei Jin said, "Let's get down to business. Our relationship isn't close enough for such a warm meal."
Qin Feng unconsciously loosened his grip and said, "Aren't you on a blind date? What do you think of me?"
Pei Jin didn't react for a long time.
He found it somewhat absurd.
She gave a token smile, "What? Haven't you had enough of playing with me?"
"I'm not playing games with you." Qin Feng frowned, disliking his tone, and said, "I'm talking to you very seriously."
"You're going on blind dates with marriage in mind. I think we've always had a good relationship, so you might consider me."
Qin Feng spoke with utmost seriousness.
It was originally a business marriage with little affection. Both of them were morally upright, their family businesses overlapped, and their sex lives and values were quite harmonious.
So he couldn't understand, and simply didn't comprehend, why Pei Jin wanted a divorce.
Pei Jin leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, staring intently at Qin Feng. After a few seconds, he suddenly spoke, " Qin Feng, can't you tell?"
Qin Feng asked blankly, "What?"
Pei Jin said, "I couldn't tell I loved you."
Qin Feng froze instantly.
His entire body seemed to freeze in that instant; he was momentarily stunned and even breathing became difficult.
What is he saying...?
Qin Feng painstakingly went through Pei Jin's words in his mind.
Ultimately, it was discovered that his brain was having some difficulty processing the information.
In fact, they had only been married for a little over a year. During that time, Pei Jin and Qin Feng were both in the early stages of their careers, traveling frequently for work and flying all over the country. They didn't even have sex very often.
Qin Feng originally planned that after the company went public, he could reduce his workload and spend more time with his family.
The day after the company went public, Pei Jin flew abroad and stayed for two years.
In the first year, although Qin Feng sensed something was wrong, he tried his best to comfort himself, thinking that Pei Jin was just doing his job.
By the second year, any words of comfort seemed utterly inadequate.
Pei Jin waited patiently for half a minute, and seeing that Qin Feng was still silent and seemed to be thinking about something, he patiently declared bankruptcy, picked up his suit jacket, and got up to leave.
When Qin Feng his senses, he realized that he was the only one left in the room.
The dim, golden light of the setting sun slanted in through the window, bathing Qin Feng in its glow.
He drank the tea that had completely cooled down in his cup.
On his way home, he stopped by a bookstore.
Qin Feng used to love coming to bookstores; he had read all kinds of famous books, both domestic and foreign.
However, there are relatively few films with a love theme.
It was his first time stepping into the romance novel section. He carefully selected three romance novels over a long period of time and finally went home with them in his arms.

That evening, after finishing his work, Qin Feng took out a brand new notebook, opened the romance novel he had just bought that day, and took a black pen from the pen holder, preparing to record key points.
Three minutes later, Qin Feng put down his pen, pinched his brow, and decided to switch to another book.
However, he couldn't even last three minutes with the second book before he was so shocked by the plot where the protagonist ran away with the baby that he promptly closed the book.
Qin Feng had no choice but to pin his hopes on the third book.
Two minutes later, he closed the book.
Utter despair.
Qin Feng has always been a good child in his parents' eyes since childhood. He is good at studying, independent, not picky about food, loves sports, and never has a romantic relationship.
He doesn't usually watch TV dramas or videos, and he rarely even watches movies. The word "love" was something he never imagined would appear in his life's dictionary.
Because in families like theirs, marriages between strong and weak are a foregone conclusion from birth, and most people cannot escape it.
Qin Feng only hopes that his future partner won't have those bad habits and can live a good life together.
The moment he realized it was Pei Jin, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
After all, Pei Jin always bothered him when they were in school, such as copying his homework, throwing his coat on his head, stealing his ice cream, and taking away his Christmas presents.
However, he neither smokes nor drinks excessively, has no mistress, and is certainly not a spoiled brat.
He thought he would continue living like this with Pei Jin forever.
Qin Feng remembered the divorce certificate he had left in the entryway and hadn't put it away yet. He pursed his lips, turned on his computer, and began searching.
How do you know if you've fallen in love with someone?
What should I do if my partner suddenly says they love me?
How can couples remarry after a divorce?
