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

Pei Jinhe's face flushed red instantly, and she gave Shen Huaiyu a reproachful look.

Didn't we agree on a marriage of convenience?

Why are you talking nonsense?

A faint smile appeared on Shen Huaiyu's lips when the little girl glared at him earlier.

It looks both cute and fierce, like a cat with its fur standing on end.

They're quite cute.

Qin Yuyang grinned foolishly, showing his big teeth: "Did I bother you guys?"

Pei Jinhe blushed even more and hurriedly said, "We were just talking about work."

Qin Yuyang frowned: "That's not right, Third Brother. When we usually talk about work, isn't Shen Feng or Shen Yan always around?"

He had never seen his third brother alone in a room with a woman. Even when he was talking to a woman about work, Shen Feng or Shen Yan had to be present.

Shen Huaiyu glanced at him expressionlessly: "Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Qin Yuyang glanced at Pei Jinhe and tentatively asked, "You're really not my sister-in-law?"

Although the two were alone in a room, they did not engage in any intimate behavior.

Pei Jinhe remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.

Fortunately, Qin Yuyang was oblivious and didn't press the matter, instead saying to himself, "Third Brother, when are you going to bring your sister-in-law out for us to see?"

Shen Huaiyu looked at Pei Jinhe with a meaningful gaze. He raised an eyebrow at the girl's delicate face, which looked as if she had applied rouge.

Pei Jinhe felt ashamed.

It's better not to meet.

After all, she and Shen Huaiyu were going to divorce sooner or later.

Judging from his appearance, he probably doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. If he finds out, it's no different from announcing it to the whole world.

Shen Huaiyu changed the subject: "What are you here for?"

Qin Yuyang dropped his nonchalant attitude, sat down on the sofa, and took a USB drive out of his pocket: "These are the medical records you requested; they're all in here."

"Here you go." Shen Huaiyu took the USB drive and handed it directly to Pei Jinhe.

Looking at Qin Yuyang's puzzled expression, Shen Huaiyu slowly said, "She is Dean He Bing's last disciple and also the leader of this research and development team."

Qin Yuyang said with a look of surprise, "So you are Dean He Bing's protégé! I've heard so much about you."

Everyone knows that He Bing, the director of the Science and Technology Research Institute, has a close disciple who boasts about his abilities all the time, but no one knows his true identity.

I never expected to see him today.

She's not only young, but also so beautiful.

If Qin Yuyang had any doubts about the two talking about work earlier, all his doubts disappeared the moment he learned Pei Jinhe's identity.

"Who are you?" Pei Jinhe asked, her long, slender, fair fingers holding the USB drive.

Qin Yuyang said with a grin, "I am Qin Yuyang, a surgeon."

Pei Jinhe exclaimed in surprise, "The medical sage Qin Yuyang?"

"It's me," Qin Yuyang nodded.

Pei Jinhe: "I never imagined that I would one day meet such a renowned medical expert."

Qin Yuyang praised, "You're very capable too. You're so young and already Dean He Bing's last disciple. If you have any questions about medicine in the future, feel free to come to me anytime."

"Okay." Pei Jinhe nodded with a smile.

"Let's exchange contact information." Qin Yuyang took out his phone, opened the WeChat friend QR code, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Pei Jinhe." Pei Jinhe scanned the QR code and sent a friend request, "Jin as in hibiscus flower, He as in rice seedling."

"Pei Jinhe." Qin Yuyang had saved Pei Jinhe's name in his contacts. "It's a good name."

The two chatted enthusiastically, one after the other.

Shen Huaiyu saw this, a deep darkness spreading in his eyes, his voice cold and devoid of warmth: "Have you two finished talking?"

Why doesn't this little girl talk much in front of him?

And Qin Yuyang's behavior—asking for someone's contact information in front of her husband—is another example.

But he couldn't say anything.

After all, he stipulated in the prenuptial agreement that they would not interfere with each other.

Thinking of this, Shen Huaiyu felt a surge of restlessness.

Qin Yuyang's large eyes held a clear, innocent naiveté: "Third Brother, is there something else?"

Shen Huaiyu casually reminded him, "They're already married, so keep your distance."

Pei Jinhe: "..."

Can you please stop talking?

If they keep talking like this, Qin Yuyang might find out about their marriage.

Men are such strange creatures.

They want to sign an agreement about the wedding date, but after the wedding, they keep talking about it everywhere.

Didn't we agree to not interfere with each other?

Qin Yuyang was stunned. Pei Jinhe didn't look that old, so how come she was already married?

But that had nothing to do with him. He said matter-of-factly, "We were just discussing work. Does getting married mean I have to cut off all relationships with the opposite sex?"

Shen Huaiyu remained calm and composed: "I'm just reminding you of something."

Qin Yuyang retorted, "Am I the kind of person who lacks discretion? Third Brother, your worries are unnecessary."

Shen Huaiyu started to shoo them away: "Alright, if there's nothing else, then leave."

Qin Yuyang didn't want to disturb their work conversation, so he tactfully stood up and said, "Pei Jinhe, I'm leaving now. Remember to contact me if you need anything."

"Okay," Pei Jinhe replied.

After Qin Yuyang left, Shen Huaiyu looked at Pei Jinhe, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Is there anything we should pay attention to in the development of the smart butler, Mrs. Shen?"

He deliberately drew out the last syllable of "Mrs. Shen," his tone rising slightly, like a hook that lured Pei Jinhe's heart.

Hearing this address from Shen Huaiyu for the first time, Pei Jinhe's face, which had finally calmed down, flushed red again.

She lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Shen Huaiyu's gaze, trying her best to ignore the man's incomprehensible look, and steadyed her voice.

"The raw materials used in chip manufacturing must be of utmost importance. This chip is an advanced chip, so if you have any questions during the research process, feel free to ask me..."

She spoke several times faster than usual, wanting nothing more than to leave this place as soon as possible.

A hint of a smile played in Shen Huaiyu's dark eyes: "Understood."

His voice was calm, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a faint smile hidden in his tone.

Pei Jinhe desperately suppressed the trembling of her eyelashes: "Is there anything else? If not, I'll head back now."

After saying that, she stood up and ran out quickly without waiting for Shen Huaiyu's reply.

As Shen Huaiyu watched her flee in panic, the resentment that had been weighing on his heart vanished, and the corners of his narrow eyes lifted in an upward curve.

He walked to his desk, picked up the proposal, and began to read it.

This proposal is well done.

Distribute bonuses.

Pei Jinhe fled into the elevator as if escaping, patting her burning cheeks.

I kept reminding myself: they were only in a marriage of convenience and would get a divorce in a year.

She absolutely must not have any improper thoughts about Shen Huaiyu.
