Accidentally Liking My Ex's Post

Second chance at love | Marriage before love, the aloof, arrogant king x the bright, carefree beauty

Five years after their breakup, rumors spread through Gu Jinbai's social feed that he had returned to the country. Lin Feiyue wanted to uninstall WeChat. Back then, they had loved each other passionately, and their breakup had been public knowledge too.

A decent ex should be as good as dead.

That very night, she happened to see his post.

The lighting was dim and hazy. The man was leaning back on a sofa, his features sharp and cold, with an air of careless indifference. His white shirt hung loose, faintly revealing the outline of his abs.

He was even more handsome than before.

Lin Feiyue looked a couple of times too many, and her finger slipped, lighting up a little red heart. In a panic, she hurriedly unliked it.

The next second, a message popped up.

Gu Jinbai: [Feeling guilty?]

Mortified, Lin Feiyue got flustered and blocked him instead.

A few days later, Gu Jinbai showed up at her company out of nowhere, becoming their most important client.

The man walked into the conference room in a suit, surrounded by a crowd of executives. He was aloof and distinguished, his deep gaze sweeping over her once.

Lin Feiyue remained composed and completed the entire presentation.

Gu Jinbai handed her a document covered in annotations, speaking in a strictly businesslike tone. "Ms. Lin, send me the revised version by the end of the day."

Lin Feiyue cursed his entire family tree to the eighteenth generation in her heart, then smiled professionally. "Of course, Mr. Gu. What's your work email?"

"I don't have one."

"...Then how should I send it to you?"

Gu Jinbai raised his eyes, expressionless. "WeChat."

Their collaboration was rocky, and soon everyone knew about it. When the project ended, their friends organized a farewell dinner, all convinced the two of them were completely over.

Sure enough, they barely interacted all evening.

Lin Feiyue chatted animatedly with the man beside her, while Gu Jinbai sat apart from everyone, never even lifting his head.

That is, until dinner ended and Lin Feiyue and the man both stood up.

"I'm starting to ship you two a little," Gu Jinbai finally said, lazily leaning back against the sofa as he looked up. "Mrs. Gu."

Their friends were bewildered. Had Gu Jinbai lost his mind?

Then it hit them...

Mrs. Gu? When had the two of them gotten married?!
