With her grandfather gravely ill, Song Guanying reluctantly agreed to go on blind dates. Who could have guessed that every man she met would be stranger than the last?
To make matters worse, her nemesis even went out of their way to arrange a gathering. Swirling a glass of red wine, they sneered at her. "Song Guanying, don't take this the wrong way, but with your taste and luck when it comes to men, tsk! You and these sorry specimens are a perfect match."
The whole room burst into laughter. Song Guanying was both furious and mortified. In a fit of anger, she stormed straight into the office of her childhood friend Shi Lin, heir to a powerful family, and blurted out, "Shi Lin, do you have any brothers who aren't married? Someone reliable and presentable. Hurry up and introduce a few to me."
Shi Lin looked up from his documents. The hand gripping his fountain pen tensed, veins standing out. His ink-dark eyes were unfathomable, and he seemed strangely calm.
"What did you say?"
"Stop wasting time." Song Guanying was fuming, her voice hurried and sharp. "If you have someone, introduce him. If not, I'll ask someone else."
The air fell silent for a few seconds...
Shi Lin capped his pen with a faint click. He opened the drawer beside him, took out a document, and pushed it in front of her.
Song Guanying looked down and saw the bold title on the first page: Marriage Agreement.
Her: "...?"
"I don't have any brothers," Shi Lin said, his tone betraying no emotion. But when he looked at her, a glimmer of light seemed to flicker in his eyes, so faint it was almost imperceptible. "What about me? Am I good enough?"
"...Are you kidding me?!" Song Guanying froze, then jumped back half a step, her beautiful almond eyes going wide!
They had a pure, 24-karat brotherly friendship, okay?
Shi Lin stood and stepped toward her. His tall figure carried an invisible pressure, enveloping her.
He leaned slightly forward, gazing deep into her eyes. Just as she thought he was about to do something, Shi Lin lightly flicked her forehead with a long finger, then leaned against the desk with a chuckle. "What are you thinking? My family is pressuring me hard. We're just helping each other out. Are you signing or not?"
Song Guanying immediately relaxed. So that was all.
She briskly signed her name, never seeing the significance that flashed through the man's eyes.
From the male lead's perspective: unrequited love comes true. From the female lead's perspective: marriage first, love later.
