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

Shen Huaiyu already had a plan: "A friend of mine is coming back to China next week. We agreed to have dinner together, and I'll take you there and introduce you to them."

Pei Jinhe didn't want to go, but she had no choice but to go, so she finally compromised and said, "Okay."

A dark glint flashed in Shen Huaiyu's dark eyes.

This girl is so easy to fool.

Simply adorable.

Pei Jinhe glanced at the time; it was almost one o'clock.

She stood up: "Then I'll head back now."

Shen Huaiyu kindly reminded them, "It's the time when employees finish eating and return to their work areas. Are you sure you want to go out now?"

Pei Jinhe decisively sat back down: "Then I'll stay until the party."

If someone sees this, she won't be able to explain herself even if she has ten mouths.

The elevator doors opened, and Qin Yuyang strode out, bumping into Shen Yan who was about to enter the elevator.

He was already in a bad mood and said irritably, "How do you walk like that?!"

Holding the documents in his hand, Shen Yan looked at the man, whose face was flushed and filled with anger, and asked in confusion, "Young Master Qin, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Yuyang sneered, "Shen Yan, your Third Master is a real scumbag! As a married man, he actually did something like having lunch alone with a married woman in the office!"

"Huh?" Shen Yan looked completely bewildered. "Young Master Qin, what are you talking about?"

If he remembered correctly, Third Master should have had lunch with his wife.

He delivered the meals to them.

Could there be other women involved?

That can't be right.

"Go to your office and see for yourself!" Qin Yuyang said, then stormed off.

Shen Yan walked into the elevator, completely bewildered, and arrived at his office.

The afternoon sun streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the room with warmth.

Pei Jinhe sat casually on the sofa playing on her phone, while Shen Huaiyu sat in front of his computer working.

Neither of them spoke, yet there was a sense of tranquility and peace between them.

Quiet and harmonious.

Seeing this, Shen Yan felt a little reluctant to disturb them.

He greeted Pei Jinhe, then handed the documents in his hands to Shen Huaiyu: "Third Master, Young Master Qin just left in a huff, saying that you...you..."

He hesitated, glancing in Pei Jinhe's direction as he spoke.

The worst-case scenario is that someone else is having dinner with President Shen today.

Shen Huaiyu flipped through the documents in his hand, saying without looking up, "It says I had dinner with a married woman."

Shen Yan silently looked at Pei Jinhe: "Madam, could the married woman that Young Master Qin mentioned be you?"

Pei Jinhe frankly admitted, "It was me."

Shen Yan: "..."

This is a mess.

This is a huge misunderstanding.

……

Back in the lab.

Han Wanying handed Pei Jinhe a USB drive: "Jinhe, Qin Yuyang came by just now, and he asked me to give this to you."

Pei Jinhe looked at the USB drive in her hand, raising an eyebrow slightly.

He wouldn't even see her anymore.

I must say, he has quite a sense of justice.

Chu Yunyan walked over: "Jinhe, do you know him?"

Pei Jinhe revealed only half of her story: "Isn't he a doctor? President Shen asked him to come and provide medical guidance. I met him in President Shen's office a couple of days ago."

Song Mingchuan's excited voice rang out: "I heard he's that famous medical genius, is that true?"

Pei Jinhe smiled faintly: "Yes."

Wei Chenghang shouted, "You guys stop chatting and get to work!"

Upon hearing this, the four changed into their research gowns and headed into the research lab.

The lobby of the Shen Group.

"Miss Xu, what brings you here?"

The receptionist looked at the woman in front of her, dressed in a flamboyant manner and smelling an overpowering amount of perfume, and wore a perfectly appropriate official smile.

Xu Yunrou, dressed in a white dress, wearing expensive diamond earrings, and with a carefully applied no-makeup look, said, "I've come to see Brother Huaiyu."

The receptionist politely asked, "Ms. Xu, do you have an appointment? You can't come in without one."

Xu Yunrou said arrogantly, "Of course there is. Brother Huaiyu will have his men come down to pick me up in a little while. Just wait and see."

The receptionist resisted the urge to roll her eyes. What was she showing off?

Who asked you that?

"Shen Yan, I'm here." Xu Yunrou waved to Shen Yan, who had just arrived.

Shen Yan walked over expressionlessly and looked behind Xu Yunrou, but there was no one there.

Xu Yunrou urged, "Don't we have important business to discuss? Take me to see Brother Huaiyu quickly."

Shen Yan glanced at her, said nothing, and led her into the elevator.

As soon as they left, the people at the front desk started gossiping.

"Could she be Mr. Shen's mysterious girlfriend?"

"Really? Is Mr. Shen's taste that bad?"

"What if it's an arranged marriage? Don't wealthy families often have arranged marriages?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Arranged marriages are a perfectly normal thing in wealthy families.

"Brother Huaiyu." Xu Yunrou's voice was deliberately affected and pretentious.

Shen Huaiyu frowned, his tone cold: "Where is your father?"

Xu Yunrou smiled broadly: "My dad said he's entrusting me with full responsibility for this collaboration."

……

After a busy day, everyone was exhausted.

After finishing up the work at hand, I prepared to go back.

Gao Xin touched his increasingly thinning hair and sighed, "I'm so tired. If this keeps up, I'll lose all my hair."

From now on, I'll have to wear a hat when I go out in winter, otherwise my scalp will get cold.

At this point, Hu Zhiwei had a lot to say, pointing to the top of his head: "The hair on the top of my head is obviously thinning, I'm really afraid that one day I'll turn into a bald patch."

I'm getting too old, I can't take it anymore!

Wen Nianshu sighed as well: "Who isn't? Ever since I started this line of work, I don't dare to comb my hair in the morning, because a lot of it falls out as soon as I do."

Gao Xin frowned so deeply it looked like he'd trapped a fly: "It's too hard. In our line of work, the most painful thing is our hair."

I really envy these young people.

Full of energy.

Song Mingchuan stretched: "Finally, I can get a good rest tomorrow. I've been so busy these past two days that I just collapse into bed as soon as I get home. I don't even have the energy to play games."

Wei Chenghang laughed: "Not playing games is good, consider it a way to quit internet addiction."

Han Wanying leaned closer and winked at Pei Jinhe: "Jinhe, how about we go shopping the day after tomorrow?"

Pei Jinhe thought about it for a moment, and since she was free the day after tomorrow, she agreed: "Okay."

Chu Yunyan, dressed in a black overcoat, looked tall and straight, with broad shoulders and long legs. He gazed at Pei Jinhe with tender eyes and said, "Jinhe, do you have time? Let's have dinner together tonight."

Pei Jinhe declined, saying, "I have something to do. Maybe next time."

Chu Yunyan's eyes darkened: "Alright, we'll make another appointment when we have time."

The CEO's office.

After finishing their work discussion, Xu Yunrou said solicitously, "Brother Huaiyu, it's getting late. Let me treat you to dinner. My dad is going home too. We can discuss the cooperation in more detail later."
