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

Shen Huaiyu rested his slender fingers lightly on the armrest and said calmly, "Since it's from your grandmother, then you should accept it."

Pei Jinhe glanced at the aloof and dignified man beside her. His eyes were cold and his expression distant, as if nothing could stir his emotions.

Since things had come to this point, it would be impolite to refuse. Pei Jinhe raised the corners of her lips and said sweetly, "Thank you, Grandma."

Pei Jinhe and Yu Qinyuan chatted casually. Yu Qinyuan was a very kind old lady who didn't have any airs of an elder.

Gradually, Pei Jinhe lost the nervousness and unease she had felt when she first arrived.

When the conversation reached a happy point, the girl's fair face blossomed into a bright smile, her peach blossom eyes curving into crescents, her gaze seemingly enveloped in the clear moonlight.

Looking at the smile on her face, Shen Huaiyu's lips curled up into a slight smile that he himself didn't even realize.

The man's aloofness seemed to have dissipated somewhat at this moment.

During their conversation, Yu Qinyuan discovered that Pei Jinhe was eloquent, well-mannered, and poised in her speech and manners.

He truly deserves to be a top student from a prestigious university.

As they were chatting, Yu Qinyuan suddenly said, "Jinhe, you and Huaiyu are both busy, so I'll have Aunt Wang go over there to take care of you and cook for you."

Aunt Wang is an old member of the Shen family. She has practically watched Shen Huaiyu grow up. In the entire old house, not only the servants but even the master of the house treats her with respect.

Pei Jinhe panicked a little and quickly refused, "No need, we can take care of ourselves."

If Aunt Wang goes, wouldn't her plan to sleep in separate rooms with Shen Huaiyu be ruined?

"With Aunt Wang around, you can relax a bit more. You'll have a hot meal waiting for you when you get home." Yu Qinyuan continued to try and trap the young couple. "Don't worry, Aunt Wang won't bother you two."

Pei Jinhe almost choked on her own saliva. What kind of married life is this?

Her relationship with Shen Huaiyu was only slightly more familiar than that of strangers.

"Jinhe, you're busy going to school to do research every day, and Huaiyu has to manage such a large group. If there isn't a maid at home, who will do the chores like grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning?"

Yu Qinyuan talked on and on, determined to sell Aunt Wang.

"You're all very busy people, you can't keep eating takeout, can you? That stuff is so unhealthy."

Pei Jinhe thought that was true. When she lived alone, she would either skip meals or order takeout, eat instant noodles, or simply cook herself some noodles when she was busy.

Although she is a pretty good cook, she is busy in the lab and doesn't have much time to cook.

And Shen Huaiyu.

Pei Jinhe glanced down at Shen Huaiyu's pampered hands.

She doesn't seem like someone who would do housework.

This gentleman grew up eating delicacies, so he probably wouldn't appreciate the simple meals she makes.

Seeing that the brainwashing was almost complete, the old lady turned her attention to Shen Huaiyu: "Huaiyu, what do you think?"

Shen Huaiyu didn't want Aunt Wang to go either, but looking at the old woman's expectant yet warning eyes, he sighed helplessly.

He compromised, saying, "I'll listen to Grandma."

Yu Qinyuan immediately beamed with joy, and the topic circled back to: "Jinhe, what about you?"

Seeing that even Shen Huaiyu, the host, had agreed, Pei Jinhe naturally didn't say anything more: "I'll listen to Grandma too."

Yu Qinyuan was overjoyed at achieving her goal and looked at Aunt Wang, who was carrying a fruit platter, saying, "Shulan, you can go back with Huaiyu and Jinhe tonight."

Aunt Wang readily accepted: "Yes, ma'am."

Soon, a maid came over and said, "Madam, dinner is ready."

Yu Qinyuan took Pei Jinhe's hand and said, "Jinhe, let's go eat."

Walk through the carved archway and you will arrive at the restaurant.

Above the ceiling, the traditional Chinese coffered ceiling unfolds slowly like a classical scroll, and a set of tassel palace lanterns sways gently, casting a soft light that adds a touch of magnificence to the atmosphere, beautiful yet understated.

On the walls on both sides, the calligraphy and paintings of literati complement each other.

On one side, there is the freedom and unrestrained spirit of flowing water and towering mountains; on the other side, there is the joyful reunion of families.

The mahogany dining table in the center exudes an antique charm, gleaming with a delicate luster under the light, while the chairs are carved with exquisite and elegant patterns.

The green plants placed nearby add a touch of natural beauty to the restaurant.

Exquisitely crafted, from paintings to ornaments, every piece showcases the unique charm of classical Chinese style.

Sitting here, Pei Jinhe deeply felt the majesty and oppressive atmosphere of aristocratic families.

The tension and anxiety that had finally subsided swept over them again.

I inexplicably felt my legs were a little weak.

"Try it and see if this food suits your taste."

Old Madam Shen kept piling food into Pei Jinhe's bowl, and soon the bowl in front of Pei Jinhe was piled up like a small mountain: "Look how thin you are, you must eat more and make up for it."

Pei Jinhe looked at the food in her bowl, a warm feeling welled up in her heart, and her eyes also became hot.

Since Grandma passed away, no one has ever been this kind to her.

Pei Jinhe said shyly, "Grandma, you should eat too."

Seeing that Shen Huaiyu was only focused on eating, Yu Qinyuan was exasperated. She had found him a wife, but he didn't know how to show any appreciation.

She said angrily, "Don't just eat by yourself, put some food on your wife's plate!"

Pei Jinhe: "!!!"

She asked the famous Master Shen to serve her food.

She felt a little overwhelmed.

Just as she was about to say no, a piece of fish was placed on the plate in front of her.

Pei Jinhe looked up and met the man's deep, sharp black eyes. She forced herself to say, "Th...thank you."

Under the urging gaze of the old lady, Pei Jinhe picked up the piece of fish and put it in her mouth.

The chef in the old house is a master at cooking Chinese food; he makes fish and meat tender, delicious, and flavorful.

The food was delicious, but sitting in such a cramped place really dampened my appetite.

Pei Jinhe eats in small bites, chewing slowly and carefully, and she feels that she has become more ladylike.

After finishing their meal, the three returned to the living room, where a servant brought them some tea to cleanse their palates.

Yu Qinyuan picked up her teacup and took a sip: "Jinhe, what does your research group research?"

Pei Jinhe downplayed the issue, saying, "They're all kinds of intelligent robots." Her eyes crinkled into a smile. "When they're successfully developed, I'll give Grandma one."

In large families like the Shen family, although there are family doctors in the household, the assistance of intelligent medical robots would allow for a better understanding of the old lady's health condition.

If the research and development is successful, she will definitely give one to the old lady.

Yu Qinyuan said happily, "Okay, Grandma will wait."

Others may not know, but she knows it very well.

Upon seeing Pei Jinhe's photo, she immediately took a liking to this young girl.

They even had someone specifically look up Pei Jinhe's information.
