Third Master, please restrain yourself. Our marriage is a marriage of convenience.

Liang Xuyan winked mysteriously: "What are you doing? Are you trying to get your sister-in-law to feel more sorry for you?"

Qin Yuyang followed up, saying, "Actually, we understand even if you don't say it. This kind of hero saving a damsel in distress, plus a bit of injury, is the easiest way to make a girl's heart flutter."

Shen Huaiyu did not refute, which was taken as tacit agreement.

He could have dodged that blow, but thinking it would help them bond faster, he took it anyway.

It's just a minor injury, but it's worth it to gain Pei Jinhe's favor and feel guilty.

Qin Yuyang asked curiously, "Third Brother, are you serious this time?"

They were childhood friends with Shen Huaiyu, who was a man of indifferent nature and had never seen him go to such lengths for any woman.

Shen Huaiyu's voice was indifferent: "We're already married, what's this talk of 'real' or 'false'?"

Qin Yuyang was quite surprised: "Are you really interested?"

Liang Xuyan chuckled softly, "Is there even a need to ask? He's already used all these tricks; what else could it be but that he's fallen for her?"

Despite his lofty and unapproachable nature, Master Shen eventually fell in love.

Shen Huaiyu's face turned cold and stern as he warned, "Don't talk nonsense in front of her."

Pei Jinhe has feelings for him now, but she hasn't truly fallen in love with him yet. What if they go to Pei Jinhe and say something inappropriate, scaring her away?

Qin Yuyang assured him confidently, "I know, I know, we won't hinder your pursuit of your wife."

Liang Xuyan joked, "Third Brother, wouldn't you call this an old cow eating young grass?"

Shen Huaiyu smiled slightly: "We're only five years apart, so we look like we're about the same age."

Qin Yuyang stroked his chin: "She hasn't even graduated from university yet. In other words, you're just trying to fool innocent female college students."

Female college graduates in their early twenties, just entering the workforce, are the easiest to fool.

In addition, Shen Huaiyu is rich and handsome, practically the epitome of male beauty, making it hard for Pei Jinhe not to be tempted.

Shen Huaiyu raised a thick eyebrow and said slowly, "I'm a legally recognized person, isn't it normal for me to love my wife?"

Seeing his smug look, Liang Xuyan's lips twitched: "Well, he's completely hooked."

He used to think that Shen Huaiyu would grow old alone.

It was truly unexpected that Shen Huaiyu, the three who were least interested in women, would be the first to have a lover.

I just don't know when he'll be able to completely win her over?

At noon, Pei Jinhe invited them to have lunch at her home.

Aunt Wang prepared a table full of dishes.

Pei Jinhe held the chopsticks with her slender fingers, turned her head and asked Shen Huaiyu, "What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

Shen Huaiyu's back injury is on the right side, making it inconvenient for him to pick up food or anything like that.

Shen Huaiyu smiled slightly: "Either is fine."

Pei Jinhe served Shen Huaiyu some of his favorite dishes. Their familiar way of getting along was just like that of an old married couple who had lived together for many years.

The two people opposite suddenly found the food in front of them unappetizing.

Qin Yuyang gave a speechless twitch of his lips: "This dog food is so disgusting, I'm already full without even having lunch."

This man is really cunning; in order to enjoy his wife's care, he's actually starting to play the victim.

He wouldn't have given that little injury on his back a second before, but now he's making a fuss about it.

Liang Xuyan sighed, "If I keep watching like this, I'm afraid I'll be stuffed to death by all this dog food."

Pei Jinhe's long eyelashes trembled slightly, her expression a little shy.

Those two are really something.

Why are you talking nonsense here?

Shen Huaiyu's voice turned deep: "If you don't want to eat, then get out."

Liang Xuyan wisely shut his mouth: "Eat, we're already here, there's no reason not to eat."

Free food, why not take it?

Before leaving, Qin Yuyang raised an eyebrow in a cheeky manner: "Third Brother, take good care of your injuries. We'll come to see you again when we have time."

Shen Huaiyu gave him a disdainful look and said coldly, "Get lost."

As the two walked to the door, Qin Yuyang complained, "He's inhuman when it comes to women."

Liang Xuyan countered, "When has he ever shown any humanity?"

Qin Yuyang thought about it seriously: "It seems there really isn't one."

inside the house.

Shen Huaiyu looked at Pei Jinhe, whose brows were furrowed, and asked in a soft voice, "Why do you look so worried?"

Pei Jinhe sighed and said, "I feel like I need to find a temple to pray to. Otherwise, why do all sorts of people try to kidnap and threaten me whenever I go out alone?"

This time, she was separated from them for less than five minutes, and then someone tried to kidnap her.

She didn't have any top-secret documents on her, so why were they all watching her so closely?

Shen Huaiyu felt a lingering fear when he thought about what happened last night, his dark eyes filled with intense emotion: "From now on, Xia Qing will stay by your side at all times."

Yesterday she had dinner with friends, and he had told her in advance to message him when it was almost over so he could pick her up.

Who would have thought that Pei Jinhe would get into trouble in just a few minutes?

Pei Jinhe said helplessly, "This is the only way."

With Xia Qing with me, at least I don't have to worry about my safety.

Pei Jinhe's gaze fell on Shen Huaiyu: "Does your injury still hurt?"

Shen Huaiyu touched his wound with his hand, his voice deliberately lowered and tinged with grievance: "It hurts."

Pei Jinhe was startled: "What should we do? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Shen Huaiyu's smile widened even more: "No need, just apply the medicine on time and it will be fine soon."

Pei Jinhe was completely unaware that she had fallen into a trap, and readily agreed: "I will definitely apply the medicine for you on time until your injury heals."

After all, Shen Huaiyu was injured while saving her, so it was only right that she take care of him.

Shen Huaiyu's long, narrow phoenix eyes slanted upwards, revealing a hint of bewitching charm.

This little girl is so easy to fool.

I must be more careful in the future, and not let myself be fooled by those shady men outside.

Number One is here again, trying to make his presence known.

It asked, "Second Director, I heard from the master that you're injured. Where are you injured? Would you like the all-powerful Number One to treat you?"

Pei Jinhe asked in shock, "When did you learn to cure diseases?"

She probably didn't set up a treatment program for Number One, right?

Is this robot sentient?

It can evolve its own system now?

Number One: "I can help call 120."

Pei Jinhe's forehead creased with annoyance: "Is the cleaning all done?"

Number One replied cheerfully, "I finished cleaning a long time ago, Master. Isn't Number One exceptionally diligent?"

Pei Jinhe smiled brightly: "Yes, you are the most hardworking."

Number One then asked Shen Huaiyu, "Second Master, how did you get injured?"

Pei Jinhe: "I was injured while saving me."

Number One suddenly realized: "So the Second Master wanted to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, but he was not strong enough and got injured in the process."
