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

In an instant, all eyes fell on Pei Jinhe.

Pei Jinhe felt so horrified she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground. Please don't message her unless it's absolutely necessary.

She raised her face, a fairly natural smile playing on her lips: "Since President Shen trusts us so much, we certainly can't let him down."

Song Mingchuan, rather nonchalant, asked, "When will our collaboration begin?"

Shen Huaiyu said calmly, "The sooner the better."

Han Wanying asked, "How about tomorrow?"

Shen Huaiyu's voice was cold and indifferent: "Okay."

Chu Yunyan looked at Shen Huaiyu with a more scrutinizing gaze: "Then tomorrow we'll go to Shen's Group and discuss things with President Shen's research team."

Is he being too sensitive?

He always felt that the atmosphere between Shen Huaiyu and Pei Jinhe was strange.

Shen Huaiyu met the man's probing eyes and said without changing his expression, "Okay."

After several rounds of drinks...

He Bing, a little tipsy after drinking two glasses of red wine, kept praising Pei Jinhe in front of Shen Huaiyu: "President Shen, Jinhe is my most prized apprentice. With her around, the results will definitely not disappoint you."

Shen Huaiyu's deep black eyes held a hint of mockery: "I'm really looking forward to Miss Pei's performance."

Pei Jinhe, who was called out again, wished she could bury her face in her plate.

What kind of mess is this?

She always felt that everything this man said was strange.

Is it because Shen Huaiyu is her husband in name only?

He Bing said seriously, "President Shen, let me make this clear from the start: my students and apprentices cannot be bullied, otherwise our cooperation will end here."

The oldest among them, Wei Chenghang, is only twenty-five years old this year. He has been studying all these years and has not officially entered society. Pei Jinhe and Han Wanying are even more so, as they are still students who have not even graduated from university.

Although the team members are all young, each one of them is a genius, especially Pei Jinhe, who is a natural-born researcher.

They have talent and ability, but they are still young and lack social experience. He was afraid that they would be bullied by the seasoned veterans in the workplace.

Shen Huaiyu solemnly said, "Dean He, please rest assured, I will take good care of them."

After the dinner ended, He Bing got into the car and told them to be careful on their way home.

The nights at the end of October were quite chilly, with a cold wind blowing. Pei Jinhe wrapped her coat tighter around herself.

Han Wanying excitedly grabbed Pei Jinhe's arm: "Jinhe, it's actually Shen Huaiyu!"

Pei Jinhe remained remarkably calm: "Why are you so agitated?"

Han Wanying was so excited she almost jumped up: "This is the head of the Shen Group, the most powerful man in the entire capital. I never expected that the business partner my teacher mentioned would be the Shen Group."

Although the Han family is a well-known and prestigious family in Kyoto, it is still quite different from the Shen family.

Wei Chenghang exclaimed, "This famous Third Master Shen is truly better seen than heard about; his aura is terrifyingly strong."

I heard that this Master Shen is only twenty-six years old this year, just one year older than him.

Song Mingchuan put his hands in his pockets and said nonchalantly, "With the cooperation of the Shen family, we won't have to worry about research funding in the future."

Han Wanying rolled her eyes at him: "Are you obsessed with money?"

Song Mingchuan raised his head and said confidently, "Even a hero can be brought down by a single penny, let alone those of us who do scientific research, where every minute and every second is spent burning through money."

Chu Yunyan, holding the car keys, approached Pei Jinhe and said gently, "Jinhe, let me take you home."

Of those present, only Shen Huaiyu and He Bing drank a few glasses of red wine; the other five did not touch a drop.

Pei Jinhe waved her hand and refused: "No need, I can take a taxi back by myself."

Chu Yunyan insisted, "It's not safe for a girl like you to take a taxi home alone so late at night."

As soon as they finished speaking, a black Bentley pulled up in front of them.

The back window rolled down, and Shen Huaiyu glanced at Chu Yunyan casually before his gaze finally settled on Pei Jinhe: "Where does Miss Pei live?"

Pei Jinhe: "..."

How could he not know where she lives?

Everyone present found it very strange.

Then Pei Jinhe's answer surprised them even more: "Peking University."

"Since it's on my way, I'll give you a ride." Shen Huaiyu found a flawless excuse. "I also have a question about intelligent medical robots that I'd like to discuss with Miss Pei."

His tone was casual and indifferent, as if he were genuinely discussing work.

Pei Jinhe met Shen Huaiyu's unfathomable phoenix eyes and even softened her breathing.

His eyes seemed to say, "You can't refuse."

Pei Jinhe said gracefully, "Then thank you, President Shen."

Throughout the year, she must remember that she is a married woman.

"Jinhe." Chu Yunyan frowned, worried about Pei Jinhe going with Shen Huaiyu.

Isn't the legendary Third Master Shen supposed to be cold-blooded, ruthless, and cruel?

Why is he offering to take Pei Jinhe home as soon as they meet?

In an instant, alarm bells rang in Chu Yunyan's mind.

Could it be that Master Shen has taken a liking to Pei Jinhe?

Seeing Chu Yunyan's hostile gaze, Shen Huaiyu's thin lips curled into a cold smile: "Are you afraid I'll kidnap Miss Pei? We're just discussing serious work."

Oh.

Hibiscus.

They called each other so affectionately.

Shen Feng secretly watched the drama unfold.

Is Third Master jealous?

stimulate.

That was so exciting!

Pei Jinhe looked at the four people and said, "You can all go back now. I'll talk to President Shen about tomorrow's research and development so we can get started as soon as possible."

Han Wanying glanced at Shen Huaiyu: "Remember to send us a message when you get home."

Although Master Shen had a bad temper, his private life was very clean, and he wouldn't make things difficult for a young girl.

It seems they really were discussing artificial intelligence.

Chu Yunyan said warily, "Be careful."

"understood."

Pei Jinhe opened the car door, bent down, and sat inside. The familiar scent of sandalwood mixed with a faint smell of alcohol wafted towards her, while the car door kept out the cold air from outside.

The car sped away and disappeared into the night.

Song Mingchuan also noticed something was off: "Why do I feel like there's something strange between President Shen and Jinhe?"

There's a strange, half-baked feeling to it.

"You find everything strange."

Han Wanying thought about how well the two looked together and said happily, "But President Shen and Jinhe really do look like a perfect match."

Song Mingchuan rolled his eyes: "Is this the time to ship them?"

Wei Chenghang looked weary: "I'm not going to talk anymore. I'm going home to sleep. I have to go to Shen's Group tomorrow morning. I'll be busy afterwards."

Chu Yunyan gripped the car keys tightly, his knuckles turning white, and a dark undercurrent surged in his usually calm eyes, as if a storm was about to break out.

She finally got to break up with Zhou Yuanche.

How come another Shen Huaiyu has appeared!

No matter how you look at it, Shen Huaiyu is a hundred times better than Zhou Yuanche!

What if Shen Huaiyu really likes Pei Jinhe too?
