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

Shen Huaiyu warned sternly, "Zhou Yuanche, if you dare to harass my wife again, I'll bankrupt the Zhou family!"

These words struck Zhou Yuanche like a thunderbolt.

Bankruptcy liquidation.

With Master Shen's ruthless methods, bankrupting the Zhou family would be an extremely simple matter.

Why?

Why did it end up like this?! Pei Jinhe actually married Master Shen!

If he were to marry someone else, he would still have room to compete, but that person is the most powerful man in Kyoto.

What did he use to rob it?

He couldn't beat him.

Jealousy and anger burned fiercely in Zhou Yuanche's heart.

Why should I?!

He was the one who met Pei Jinhe first!

Why did Shen Huaiyu, who came later, manage to surpass Pei Jinhe and get a marriage certificate?

Shen Huaiyu pulled Pei Jinhe's hand and walked into the company compound. He instructed the security guard at the entrance, "Get him out of here. If you see him again, just throw him out."

The security guard replied, "Yes."

After watching the play, Xia Qing walked into the company compound.

Third Master knows how to make people despair.

It was so satisfying to watch this one-sided crushing victory.

Pei Jinhe turned her head to him, a slight smile curving her lips: "Shen Huaiyu, you're quite good at killing someone by hurting their spirit."

A layer of frost settled on Shen Huaiyu's devilishly handsome face: "As an ex, coming to her current husband's company to harass his wife is a blatant provocation."

What's the difference between Zhou Yuanche doing this and slapping him in the face?

His wife is not someone those shady men outside would dare to mess with.

The man who was completely outmatched by him in every way turned out to be his wife's first love.

What bad luck!

Dating someone like Zhou Yuanche would be a disgrace to Pei Jinhe.

Pei Jinhe frowned slightly, a hint of worry in her voice, "I told him we were getting married, and I doubt we can keep it a secret from the Ji family anymore."

If the Ji family finds out about her marriage to Shen Huaiyu, they'll definitely stick to her like glue.

It's actually quite annoying when you think about it.

Shen Huaiyu said casually, "There's nothing to hide."

He's now eager to announce this to the world.

Pei Jinhe asked, "Aren't you worried that they'll use your name to benefit themselves?"

A cold glint in Shen Huaiyu's lips: "Then we'll see if they have the ability."

Pei Jinhe thought about it and agreed; Shen Huaiyu's reputation was not so easy to exploit.

Shen Huaiyu's voice was cold: "Pei Jinhe, I can let things slide for your sake, but that doesn't mean they can take advantage of me."

If the Ji family truly cares for Pei Jinhe, then if they use his name to seek personal gain, he will simply turn a blind eye and pretend he doesn't know.

But the Ji family treated Pei Jinhe badly, so he couldn't let them gain any advantage.

Pei Jinhe said nonchalantly, "You don't need to worry about me. Just do what you need to do."

Shen Huaiyu paused for a moment, then continued, "I can back down for Grandma's sake, but you don't need to. After all, Grandma has been kind to me, not to you. Although we are married now, that's not a reason for me to hold you hostage."

Shen Huaiyu chuckled and said, "You seem to have a good eye on this."

Pei Jinhe smiled slightly: "Otherwise what? We can't just keep treating it as a holy place forever, can we?"

Trying to use Shen Huaiyu's name to benefit oneself? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Shen Huaiyu pressed the elevator door button, and the elevator door slowly opened.

Pei Jinhe stepped into the elevator, and as she glanced down unintentionally, her pupils suddenly widened in shock.

What... what's going on here?!

She couldn't possibly have been holding hands with Shen Huaiyu ever since she entered the group, could she?

Fortunately, it's already working hours and there aren't many people around, otherwise the news of her holding hands with Shen Huaiyu would have spread throughout the entire company like wildfire.

As the elevator doors closed, Pei Jinhe tried to quietly pull Di Xiang's hand away, but Shen Huaiyu's large hand gripped her even tighter.

The man's large hands were warm and dry, as if carrying a tingling electric current that flowed through his body along the veins in his fingers.

Pei Jinhe's heart trembled slightly, her face flushed slightly, and she struggled to pull her hand away: "Shen Huaiyu, let go of me! What if someone sees us?"

Shen Huaiyu held on tightly, leaning closer to Pei Jinhe. His handsome features magnified before her eyes, his long, narrow phoenix eyes were captivating and alluring.

Pei Jinhe's heart rate spiked to its limit in an instant.

Shen Huaiyu's thin lips brushed against her ear, his deep, magnetic voice penetrating her eardrums: "We're husband and wife, so what if someone sees us?"

As he spoke, his thin lips brushed against her ear, very lightly, like a feather gently tickling Pei Jinhe's heart.

An ambiguous atmosphere fermented in the narrow elevator space.

Pei Jinhe's mind went blank, her eyelashes blinked rapidly, and her ears turned a deep, almost blood-red color.

The air was filled with the man's cool sandalwood scent, and Pei Jinhe's breathing became lighter.

"You!" Pei Jinhe raised her head, her peach blossom eyes, shimmering with moisture, filled with a hint of shyness and restraint.

Did he just kiss her?

Shen Huaiyu's lips curved into a beautiful arc.

Young girls are just too easily teased.

It seems she wasn't completely indifferent to him.

"Beep!" The research lab floor has been reached.

The moment the elevator doors opened, Pei Jinhe rushed out.

Shen Huaiyu watched her flee in panic and burst out laughing.

...

Reaching the lab door, Pei Jinhe patted her burning cheeks and took a few deep breaths to calm her racing heart.

Shen Huaiyu is such a powerful man, what if she really falls for him if things continue like this?

Pei Jinhe changed into her research gown and entered the research lab.

Han Wanying was recording data with a pen and paper when she heard footsteps. She looked up and, seeing the blush on Pei Jinhe's face, asked in surprise, "Jinhe, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to them.

Chu Yunyan's expression was grave; he felt Pei Jinhe was behaving strangely: "Does she have a fever?"

Upon hearing her question, Pei Jinhe recalled what had happened in the elevator earlier. Her already flushed face burned even hotter, and she answered with evasive eyes, "It's nothing, I'm just a little hot."

Song Mingchuan didn't believe him. He gave a meaningful smile: "It's the middle of winter, hot? Are you kidding me?"

Pei Jinhe stubbornly retorted, "Who says you can't feel hot in winter?"

Wei Chenghang chuckled twice: "To me, it doesn't seem like you're hot, it seems like you're shy."

Pei Jinhe vehemently denied it: "I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Her hasty denial only made things worse.

Song Mingchuan's eyes were sharp, seeing through everything: "Jinhe, tell the truth, have you been dating someone behind our backs? And your boyfriend is someone from within the Shen Group."
