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

As soon as she reached the entrance of the company, she heard someone call her name: "Jinhe".

Pei Jinhe subconsciously looked over and saw Zhou Yuanche striding towards her.

Xia Qing was about to stop him when Pei Jinhe gave her a look, and Xia Qing stood not far away without moving.

However, she secretly took out her phone and sent a message to Shen Huaiyu.

If she remembered correctly, this should be the lady's ex-boyfriend.

It must be quite a scene when your current husband meets his ex.

Zhou Yuanche's eyes were bloodshot, and the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious. He looked dejected and depressed.

He gazed greedily at Pei Jinhe's pure and stunning face, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you really with Shen Huaiyu?"

Pei Jinhe's eyes were cold, her breath icy: "What does this have to do with your ex-boyfriend with whom you made a bet?"

Zhou Yuanche pressed, "Did you break up with me because of Shen Huaiyu?"

Pei Jinhe retorted sarcastically, "Don't you know what you've done?"

Zhou Yuanche felt a pang of guilt: "You broke up with me the moment before agreeing to the marriage alliance with the Shen family. Pei Jinhe, are you sure you didn't already have the idea of ​​breaking up with me all along?"

Pei Jinhe's eyes were icy cold as she sneered, "Zhou Yuanche, do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"

"The Ji family told me about this two months before we broke up. If I wanted to break up with you for Shen Huaiyu, would I have needed to wait two months?"

To avoid marrying Shen Huaiyu, she didn't dare return to the Ji family for two whole months.

But he thought she was only after Shen Huaiyu's power and wealth, which was why she broke up with him.

She was so blind back then, to be moved by such a scumbag.

Zhou Yuanche realized he had said the wrong thing and apologized to Pei Jinhe with a guilty look on his face: "Jinhe, I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong. Please give me another chance, okay? I will definitely love you well."

Pei Jinhe sneered, "No need. Your feelings for me were never pure from the beginning, so why pretend to be deeply in love now?"

A relationship that begins with deception is disgusting to even think about.

Looking at the coldness in her eyes, Zhou Yuanche felt a sharp pain in his heart. He clenched his fists, trying to suppress the churning pain in his heart: "Jinhe, I've always liked you. I pursued you not just because of the bet, but because I love you."

Pei Jinhe only felt he was hypocritical, and she sneered, "Are you putting on too much of a show? You've even moved yourself to tears?"

The day before the breakup, he and his friends were laughing at her behind her back, saying she was delusional.

If you truly love her, would you allow others to slander and belittle her like this?

If this is what love is.

Then his love is far too cheap.

Zhou Yuanche's eyes were filled with cracked pain. He took a deep breath and asked, "What do you want me to do to make you believe I'm sincere?"

Pei Jinhe looked directly into his eyes, her voice cold and ruthless: "Whether you are sincere or not is irrelevant to me. The sincerity of an ex-boyfriend only makes me feel disgusted."

Hearing her cold and heartless words, Zhou Yuanche's eyes reddened slightly. He asked, "Jinhe, did you ever truly love me?"

Pei Jinhe said expressionlessly, "The moment I learned about the bet, I felt nothing but disgust for you!"

Before she knew about the bet, Zhou Yuanche was practically the perfect boyfriend. He was considerate, gentle, and attentive to her in everything. Everyone has a heart, so how could she not be moved at all?

But after learning the truth, all the emotion I felt turned into cold disgust.

Even if Zhou Yuanche's later feelings were genuine, so what?

She could never forgive him for letting his brother mock her behind her back!

Even if she doesn't marry Shen Huaiyu now, it's impossible for her to get back together with him.

Zhou Yuanche looked at Pei Jinhe with eyes full of guilt: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Jinhe, I really know I was wrong. Please give me another chance, okay?"

Pei Jinhe remained completely unmoved: "No need for an apology, I don't need it, and I won't give you another chance."

Zhou Yuanche's breathing was disordered, and regret and bitterness filled his chest, making him feel like he was living a life worse than death.

He took a few deep breaths, lowered his stance, and pleaded, "Jinhe, Tianhao was wrong. He was used by Ji Yuyan. Could you please ask Master Shen to be lenient and let him off the hook?"

Pei Jinhe had also lost patience with talking to him properly, and the coldness in her eyes was almost overflowing: "No, he deserved it."

After saying that, she turned and walked into the company compound.

"Jinhe!" Zhou Yuanche reached out to grab Pei Jinhe's hand.

Just as Xia Qing was about to make a move, Shen Huaiyu pulled Pei Jinhe aside, avoiding Zhou Yuanche's hand.

The man was dressed in a suit and tie, with sharp, noble-looking phoenix eyes, and every gesture he made carried the imposing aura of someone in a superior position.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhou Yuanche respectfully greeted him, "Third Master Shen."

Shen Huaiyu looked down at him and coldly questioned, "You're pulling and shoving my wife in front of my company building. Do you think I don't exist?"

Zhou Yuanche was shocked: "What did you say? Wife?!"

Pei Jinhe also found it quite unbelievable.

Did she just casually reveal their relationship like that?

Aren't you afraid of being overheard?

Looking at Zhou Yuanche's pale face, Shen Huaiyu stabbed him in the heart again: "We've already registered our marriage, we're a legally married couple."

Zhou Yuanche's eyes were bloodshot as he shook his head repeatedly in denial: "Impossible! This is impossible! Jinhe clearly loves me! How could she possibly marry you!"

Shen Huaiyu chuckled lightly, seemingly mocking his overestimation of his abilities: "Don't you find what you're saying laughable?"

He asked, "In what way do you think you are better than me?"

For a moment, Zhou Yuanche was speechless.

In terms of appearance, status, and wealth, he was worlds apart from Shen Huaiyu.

Xia Qing was thoroughly enjoying the watermelon.

How come I never noticed before that Third Master was so childish?

That's an incredibly strong competitive spirit.

Pei Jinhe slightly curved her red lips.

Is this the domineering CEO described in novels?

she likes.

Comparing Shen Huaiyu and Zhou Yuanche is tantamount to insulting Shen Huaiyu.

Shen Huaiyu reached out and put his arm around Pei Jinhe's slender waist. His gaze fell on Zhou Yuanche's extremely embarrassed face, and he said with a slight parting of his thin lips, "My wife isn't blind. She naturally knows who to choose between you and me."

Deeply affected, Zhou Yuanche swayed uncontrollably.

He originally thought that Shen Huaiyu stood up for Pei Jinhe because the old lady of the Shen family had taken a liking to her.

He didn't think that the powerful and influential Master Shen would fall in love with an adopted daughter from a second-rate family.

But now he realizes how ridiculous he was.

They've already gotten their marriage certificate.

Judging from Shen Huaiyu's expression, he seems to like Pei Jinhe quite a bit.
