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

Shen Huaiyu's thin lips curled into a mocking smile as he toyed with the knife in his hand: "But it's too late to say anything now."

"Alright!"

Yu Qinyuan was furious, her finger trembling as she pointed to the door: "You three are not welcome here, get out!"

As he left, Shen Youcheng glanced back at Pei Jinhe, his eyes filled with interest and amusement.

She's really pretty.

Unfortunately, she is Shen Huaiyu's wife.

That old woman is really biased; she found Shen Huaiyu such a beautiful wife.

The veins on the back of Shen Huaiyu's hand, which was gripping the knife, bulged. He closed his eyes, struggling to suppress the restless rage within him.

Seeing Yu Qinyuan's chest heaving violently with anger, Pei Jinhe quickly came over and patted her chest to help her calm down, comforting her, "Grandma, don't get agitated."

Yu Qinyuan calmed herself down and took Pei Jinhe's hand: "Jinhe, I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."

"You are the granddaughter-in-law chosen by Grandma. As long as Grandma is alive, she will not allow anyone to shake your position. You and Huaiyu should live a good life together."

Pei Jinhe glanced at Shen Huaiyu, then at the kind old man, her throat swollen and hoarse: "I will."

She and Shen Huaiyu will get divorced in a year. How will she explain it to her grandmother then?

She felt a little guilty for disappointing such a kind and gentle old man.

It was getting late, and after chatting with the old lady for a few more minutes, Pei Jinhe and Shen Huaiyu prepared to leave. Naturally, Aunt Wang was going to leave with them as well.

Aunt Wang and Shen Feng sat in the front row, while Pei Jinhe and Shen Huaiyu sat in the back row.

As soon as Shen Feng started the car, Aunt Wang slapped him on the shoulder.

"Hurry up and raise the barrier. How can this kid be so clueless?"

Shen Feng: "..."

Shen Huaiyu: "..."

Pei Jinhe: "..."

There's no need for that; she and Shen Huaiyu are really not familiar with each other at all.

It's better without the barrier; if the barrier were actually raised, the thought of that scene would make her incredibly embarrassed.

Shen Feng secretly glanced at the two people in the back row through the mirror.

Shen Huaiyu remained expressionless, his thin lips slightly pursed, and a terrifyingly low pressure emanated from him.

Pei Jinhe practically had "Don't raise the barrier" written all over her face.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Feng placed his finger on the lift button and pressed it down.

Pei Jinhe looked at the slowly rising board in the middle and had an urge to press it down.

With a "click," the panel and roof sealed together perfectly, turning the spacious back seat into an enclosed space.

Pei Jinhe was restless and her waist involuntarily tensed.

Although it wasn't her first time riding in Shen Huaiyu's car, she had been able to see the driver before, so it wasn't as awkward. Now that the partition was raised, what difference was there between her and being alone in a room with Shen Huaiyu?

Pei Jinhe's body had somehow become leaning against the car window, and the distance between her and Shen Huaiyu was large enough for two more people to sit down. She cautiously stole a glance at the man next to her.

The light and shadows outside the car window swept by, the man's handsome eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his fierceness was heavy between his brows, and the scarlet at the corner of his eyes was wrapped in violent rage.

Shen Huaiyu's complexion was even worse than when he was at the Shen family's old house.

Pei Jinhe tightened her grip on her fingers and whispered, "Shen Huaiyu."

Hearing the voice, Shen Huaiyu turned his head to look. The man's eyes were very dark, unfathomable, like an endless abyss.

The man looked at Pei Jinhe, who looked nervous, and asked in a low, slightly hoarse voice, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

He deliberately said, "After all, if I lose control, I really might kill someone."

"I'm not afraid." Pei Jinhe shook her head. "After all, you haven't lost control yet, have you? You're in a pretty stable state right now, so I don't need to be afraid."

I just witnessed firsthand how Shen Huaiyu's father treated him.

She suddenly felt a sense of shared suffering.

She never knew who her parents were, and only her grandmother loved her from childhood to adulthood.

Shen Huaiyu lost his mother at birth, and before his mother's body was even cold, his father remarried, so his father probably didn't treat him any better.

They were all people who lacked parental love.

Shen Huaiyu looked at her face.

The girl's skin was porcelain white, gleaming with a delicate luster under the light, like the finest mutton fat jade; her eyes were the most beautiful feature.

She has classic peach blossom eyes: large eyes with slightly curved corners, dark pupils, and a slight pinkish tint around them, giving her a hazy, dreamlike quality, yet her gaze is excessively clean and clear, untouched by any impurity.

Shen Huaiyu silently looked away, his hands resting on his knees feeling slightly tense.

As soon as her eyes lowered, Pei Jinhe reached out her hand.

Her fingers, holding the bank card, were long and slender, with neatly trimmed nails that were not painted, revealing a faint pink hue.

Pei Jinhe glanced at the partition and lowered her voice: "This is for you."

Shen Huaiyu didn't answer: "What are you giving me?"

Pei Jinhe lowered her eyes, afraid that Aunt Wang in front of her would hear, and said in a low voice, "We only have a marriage of convenience, I can't accept this."

This money was given by the grandmother to her granddaughter-in-law.

Although she didn't know exactly how much was inside, her grandmother liked her so much that she would definitely give her a lot.

She won't touch the pile of gifts her grandmother gave her upon meeting her; she'll return them all after the divorce.

"I'll take it since Grandma gave it to me."

Shen Huaiyu's tone was firm: "Anyway, there's not much money in there, so take it and spend it."

Not much money?

Does the "not much money" that Master Shen mentioned have the same meaning as the "not much money" that ordinary people like her think?

Seeing his firm tone, Pei Jinhe didn't say anything more and put the bank card in her pocket.

Anyway, she had no intention of spending the money, so she could just put the card back when they got divorced.

Thinking of Shen Huaiyu's protection of her earlier, Pei Jinhe said gratefully, "Thank you for earlier."

Aside from her grandmother, Shen Huaiyu was one of the few people who protected her.

"No need to thank me. After all, you are my wife in name only. I can't let others bully you. Besides, if you hadn't married me, he wouldn't have targeted you."

Shen Huaiyu leaned back in his chair, the fierceness in his eyes lessening slightly, and said in a cold voice, "Since I dragged you into this, I naturally have to be responsible for your safety."

Pei Jinhe sighed inwardly.

Indeed, there's no such thing as free money.

Shen Huaiyu's father was not a good person, and his stepmother and stepbrother were no better.

Now that she's involved with such a large family, she probably won't have a peaceful year ahead of her.

Fortunately, Shen Huaiyu is a reliable person who is willing to protect her, and Grandma Shen is also a very good person.

If she can't be offended, can't she at least avoid him?

A year later, she and Shen Jiaqiao went their separate ways.

Thinking of Aunt Wang sitting in front of her, Pei Jinhe asked Shen Huaiyu anxiously, "What are we going to do tonight?"

Are we really going to sleep together?
