"But didn't you say you were interested in me before?"
Li Qi glanced at Chen Jie, not understanding why.
Before Chen Jie could answer, Gao Zheng frowned and said, "Still don't understand?"
"Could it be..."
Li Qi recalled Wang Liu taking the punishment for Chen Jie earlier.
Matchmaking relies on first impressions; if a conversation flows well, then it might work out.
Initially, you can't know everything about a person, including their character.
The reason Chen Jie first chose Li Qi was simply because he was more appealing at first glance.
Later choosing Wang Liu was due to his protective nature, allowing Chen Jie to see his character, safe and dependable.
In these chaotic times, no matter how appealing one may seem, it's better to have a man who can protect you.
Gao Zheng nodded in agreement.
Li Qi looked defeated.
...
Around eleven at night, the matchmaking event came to an end.
