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

Shen Huaiyu glanced at the handbag in front of him, his gaze lingering slightly before slowly shifting to Pei Jinhe's delicate face, a slight ripple appearing in his usually calm eyes.

"Did you buy this for me?"

Pei Jinhe nodded shyly, "Mm."

In fact, she knew that this tie was extremely cheap compared to Shen Huaiyu's net worth.

But it was the best she could offer.

Shen Huaiyu reached out and took it: "Thank you."

It turns out that Pei Jinhe went to the mall today to buy him a gift.

Pei Jinhe's eyes held a mixture of nervousness and anticipation: "Aren't you going to open it and take a look?"

Shen Huaiyu opened the packaging and took out the tie.

This tie is of excellent quality in both material and workmanship; it's clear that it was carefully selected.

The man's fingers were beautiful, long and well-defined, with a black tie casually draped over them, exuding a strong sense of sensuality.

A slight smile played on his lips: "I like it very much."

Pei Jinhe breathed a sigh of relief; as long as he liked it, that was fine.

Neither of them spoke, and a silence fell over the air.

Unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, Pei Jinhe said evasively, "I'm going to take a shower first."

As she spoke, she went to the next room to get her clothes.

Shen Huaiyu fiddled with his tie and said casually, "Your clothes are all in the closet in this room."

Pei Jinhe paused, then opened the wardrobe, filled with doubt.

Why are her clothes in this closet?

The wardrobe was divided in two; one half contained Shen Huaiyu's suits and casual wear, all in dark colors.

The other half features much brighter colors and more novel clothing styles, including skirts, casual wear, and sportswear.

"This..." Pei Jinhe looked at Shen Huaiyu in confusion.

These clothes are all new.

Although she didn't know much about luxury goods, she could tell from the design and fabric that it was definitely not cheap.

It's so much better than the clothes she sells online for a few dozen yuan with free shipping.

Shen Huaiyu said succinctly: "For you."

Looking at the rows of new clothes, Pei Jinhe felt no joy, only a burden of guilt: "I have clothes."

She already didn't know how to return the car, and now she has so many clothes.

Shen Huaiyu took in Pei Jinhe's reaction. His voice was calm, but it carried an undeniable force: "You are now my nominal Mrs. Shen. Wearing those clothes, people who don't know better will think that my Shen family is mistreating you."

Pei Jinhe muttered softly, "I won't let anyone know we got our marriage certificate."

They were supposed to get divorced in a year anyway, so naturally the fewer people who knew, the better.

Shen Huaiyu waved the tie in his hand: "You gave me a tie, so it's only fair to return the favor."

Pei Jinhe quickly replied, "The tie is to thank you for giving me the car."

Shen Huaiyu lowered his gaze, looking into her exceptionally beautiful peach blossom eyes, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to melt away slightly: "Why didn't you drive the car I gave you?"

Pei Jinhe fidgeted with her fingers: "My driving skills aren't very good, and that car is so expensive, I'm afraid I'll damage it."

Shen Huaiyu put the tie away: "I'll take the tie. The car and clothes are yours now. Although the money isn't equal, the sentiment is the same."

The man's voice was calm and unhurried, like a gentle breeze that dispelled some of the thick gloom in my heart.

Pei Jinhe's eyelashes blinked twice.

In fact, she always knew that she had some kind of mental problem.

She doesn't seem used to accepting other people's kindness.

If someone gives me a gift, I either refuse it or I insist on returning something of equal value.

When she was with Zhou Yuanche, she knew she couldn't repay the gifts he gave her, so she never used them.

She donated the chip to the Zhou Group partly because Zhou Yuanche was her boyfriend, but more so because she didn't want to owe him anything.

Since she didn't have enough money, she could repay Zhou Yuanche in another way.

Returning the belongings after a breakup, though painful and reluctant, brings a great sense of relief.

She was not used to Shen Huaiyu's kindness now.

But Shen Huaiyu's words gave her a rare sense of peace in accepting someone's kindness.

The money is unequal.

The sentiments are the same.

Seeing Pei Jinhe's uncertain expression, Shen Huaiyu asked, "Any more questions?"

"No." Pei Jinhe came back to her senses and shook her head.

The tie represents her feelings for Shen Huaiyu, while the car and clothes represent Shen Huaiyu's feelings for her.

Since Shen Huaiyu accepted her feelings, she should also accept Shen Huaiyu's feelings.

Pei Jinhe took her pajamas into the bathroom, and it was half an hour later when she came out.

Shen Huaiyu had already finished showering and was now leaning against the headboard, his eyes lowered as he flipped through the book in his hands.

The overhead light shone on his face, making the man's thick eyebrows and features appear excessively beautiful.

Shen Huaiyu heard the door open and looked over with his clear, cold phoenix eyes.

The girl was wearing a light pink nightgown, her exposed skin was clear and fair, her cheeks were flushed with a light pink, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. She looked very well-behaved.

"Want to sleep?"

Shen Huaiyu's gaze swept over her; the pajamas she was wearing today were delivered along with the other clothes.

She wore the same long pants and long sleeves, but the fabric was more form-fitting, which perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Her waist is also very slender.

Shen Huaiyu looked away, pretended nothing was wrong, got out of bed, walked to the water dispenser, filled a glass with water, and drank it down.

The cold water soothed my throat, relieving the inexplicable heat.

The hand gripping the cup tightened.

He found himself thinking of that woman from that night again.

Did that woman cast a spell on him? Otherwise, why would he think of Pei Jinhe every time he sees her?

It was originally a very normal sentence, but now it's late at night, and a man and a woman are alone in a room, both wearing pajamas.

This makes the statement seem incredibly ambiguous.

"Not sleepy yet." Pei Jinhe quickly shook her head, then asked Shen Huaiyu, "Are you sleeping?"

Shen Huaiyu's daily routine: "Go to bed at 11 o'clock."

Pei Jinhe often stays up late; 11 p.m. is the start of her nightlife for her.

But now that she's living with Shen Huaiyu, she naturally can't do whatever she wants like she does when she's living alone.

Shen Huaiyu was reading a book, while Pei Jinhe was watching videos with Bluetooth headphones on.

The two of them did not disturb each other.

Smartphones are addictive, and as people become addicted, their vigilance decreases.

As I scrolled through the screen, I forgot about my surroundings and even forgot that there was a large Buddha statue next to me.

I burst out laughing when I saw the funny scene.

Her laughter wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

Shen Huaiyu glanced at the girl's curved eyes, which were bright and sparkling, as if sprinkled with stardust, dazzling and radiant.

His eyes flickered slightly, and his once calm heart seemed to have been stirred by a small pebble, creating ripples in circles.
