The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Gu Qiu raised his eyes nonchalantly, looking at the silent and dark night outside the window, not looking at the woman sitting opposite him who was constantly finding topics to chat with him.

He didn't know what was wrong with his parents. They used to not interfere with his every move, but since his elder sister Gu Qing went to study in France, they have been keeping an extra close eye on him. He had finally finished his second year graduate project in the imperial capital and wanted to spend a peaceful summer vacation where he could sleep until he woke up naturally without worrying about not submitting his project report. However, he had only lived a peaceful life in Lucheng for two days before his parents tricked him into going on a blind date with various excuses.

Gu Qiu faced these blind dates with a perfunctory attitude from the beginning, because he has not graduated yet. Although he already has a career of his own, he does not want to spend his precious time and energy on some strangers who he will never have any intersection with in the future.

Wouldn't it be better to publish a few more academic papers than to go on these blind dates that are a complete waste of time?

and……

Gu Qiu's narrow and long eyes, which were almost the same as his sister Gu Qing's, were slightly raised. He looked lazily at the woman opposite who was looking at him with eyes shining brightly. He couldn't help feeling a little tired in his heart.

I don’t know if my parents are really confused or have been deceived by those matchmaking agencies who claim to be very powerful. Every time they say they are looking for outstanding women picked from thousands of miles away, but every time I meet someone, they are just like the woman today, who are materialistic and don’t care about his past experience and are only interested in his family background and property.

He has always been very patient with women, but after nearly thirty blind dates to date, he has almost exhausted all his patience.

When he first went to the appointments, Gu Qiu would dress a little more formally as his parents had instructed. But as he gradually discovered, these women who went on blind dates with him would take the initiative to get closer to them because of his family background, even if he was very cold towards them. So he no longer bothered to dress up before going out.

"Mr. Gu, do you have any plans after dinner? I know a very good bar, are you interested in going there?"

The woman opposite Gu Qiu had obviously dressed up carefully for today's meeting - her hair was specially styled into a seemingly casual but careful curl in every curve. She wore a low-saturation aqua red lady-style short skirt and a pair of medium-height high heels. Her face was painted with delicate and transparent yet light makeup, and her pair of smoky pink lips reflected a slightly bright luster, as if she was ready for an unexpected kiss.

The woman's voice was sweet and natural. If this was an encounter or chance meeting that happened in other occasions, Gu Qiu would not mind giving her a few words of praise.

Unfortunately, this was not the first time that Gu Qiu had seen this kind of seemingly plain and pure makeup at a blind date. Even if it looked good, he was now somewhat aesthetically fatigued.

"No, thank you. I have something else to do after dinner. I'll take you back first, Miss Zhuang. I have to go back to my own business."

When Zhuang Xuanqi heard Gu Qiu from the other side decline her invitation, she was not discouraged. Instead, she was secretly happy when she heard Gu Qiu say that he would send her back.

But she has already prepared a complete set of "battle clothes" in the small apartment where she lives now. She doesn't believe that in such an atmosphere, any man can resist the temptation.

In Zhuang Xuanqi's creed, many times when a man says no, he actually wants it.

"That's such a shame. I had such a pleasant chat with Mr. Gu today, but we'll have to see each other next time."

"Well, that's all."

Zhuang Xuanqi pretended to be regretful and said it was a pity, but she had her own little calculations in her heart.

She had given so many benefits to the matchmaker this time to allow her to participate in this blind date with the young master of the Gu family. How could she let this opportunity slip away?

Zhuang Xuanqi's slightly lowered eyebrows just concealed the calculation in her eyes. Gu Qiu, who was exhausted from dealing with the situation, didn't have the energy to figure out what the woman opposite him was thinking. He just wanted to quickly end this situation that he didn't want to deal with and go home to have a good sleep.

Something? Impossible!

How could he allow himself the opportunity to be busy during the rare summer vacation? What he just said was just an excuse to deal with the other party.

Gu Qiu pretended to take a sip of the drink in front of him. Just when he was about to find an excuse to get up and go to the bathroom to get some fresh air, when he looked up, he found two familiar figures walking towards him diagonally opposite.

His eyes lit up instantly, and in just a second, he even forgot to hide his true emotions in front of Zhuang Xuanqi.

Sister Yi Yu! And Qi Mo!

I actually met them here in Wilding, they are simply my saviors!

"Xiao Qiu, long time no see."

Xu Yiyu walked in front of Gu Qiu without paying close attention to Zhuang Xuanqi's expression. She just greeted Gu Qiu with a playful smile.

Gu Qiu looked at the azure figure in front of him and really felt that she was the most beautiful woman on the entire Blue Star at this moment! She was the kind of person who could save him from danger!

"Gu Qiu, you look like you're... busy?"

Although Qi Mo is a little younger than Gu Qing, he is indeed a few years older than Gu Qiu. They got along quite well during their previous meetings, so the tone of his greeting could be considered intimate.

Gu Qiu naturally remembered Qi Mo. His elder sister had such a good relationship with the old willow tree, and Qi Mo was the old willow tree's cousin. They were also in the same circle, so even if they were not good friends, they could be considered acquaintances.

Normally, he didn't like Qi Mo very much. It might be because he could see that Qi Mo admired his sister, or it might be because he couldn't stand the fact that this guy was better than himself.

But today! He just felt that Qi Mo was the most handsome man in the world besides himself!

"Sister Yi Yu, Brother Qi Mo, it's such a coincidence to meet you here."

Gu Qiu, who had finally swallowed back the words "that's great", responded to Xu Yiyu and Qi Mo with just the right amount of excitement and joy, but the corners of his mouth were almost unable to suppress their smile.

As an outsider with an awkward identity, Zhuang Xuanqi naturally did not interrupt when Gu Qiu and the other two were greeting each other, but this did not prevent her from sitting aside and observing the two people who took the initiative to step forward.

The man whom Gu Qiu called "brother" seemed to be from the same circle as Gu Qiu. Although there was no logo on the casual suit he was wearing, judging from the fabric of the suit, it was obvious that the brand he was wearing was not something that ordinary people could afford.

Moreover, he has excellent appearance and temperament. Maybe he is the young master of some group in Anhui Province.

But the plump woman next to him...

Why does he look so indescribably familiar?
