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

Pei Jinhe exclaimed, "You're really something!"

That kind of thing is related to a man's dignity. If he loses it, wouldn't he become a eunuch?

However, Pei Jinhe felt that he had only himself to blame.

Although it was Xu Yunrou who made the move, Shen Youcheng contributed a great deal of effort to it.

It was Shen Youcheng who revealed that she was going to marry Shen Huaiyu.

Shen Huaiyu looked at Pei Jinhe's plain, calm face, his Adam's apple bobbing as he spoke in a low, husky voice, "Don't you think I'm ruthless?"

He never cared what others thought of him. Outsiders said he was violent, cold-blooded, and ruthless, but he never cared what others said about him behind his back.

But when he asked Pei Jinhe, his heart suddenly tightened.

Pei Jinhe met the man's deep, dark eyes and slowly said, "Revenge is the best revenge. If they hadn't come looking for trouble with me, they wouldn't have ended up like this. Dealing with them will prevent future troubles. I don't want to live in constant fear, on guard against this and that."

Releasing a tiger back into the mountains will lead to endless troubles.

She understands this principle.

Looking into the girl's clear eyes, Shen Huaiyu was momentarily lost in thought before taking the initiative to explain, "I didn't kill Shen Youcheng because I didn't want to upset Grandma."

"Although she never said it, I could feel that Grandma didn't want to see us kill each other. He was also Grandma's grandson, while my father was Grandma's son."

"The Shen family has always been cold and ruthless. My grandfather had an illegitimate child when he was young. It was my grandmother's strong-willed approach that prevented the family property from falling into the hands of others."

My grandfather was sent off by my grandmother.

Pei Jinhe's pupils contracted in shock.

Grandma looked so kind and loving, yet she had personally seen her husband pass away when she was young.

"My father also inherited my grandfather's selfishness and cold-heartedness. Although he was not as philandering as my grandfather, he was still greedy and always looking at what he had. His nature was ingrained and could not be changed by education."

At this point, Shen Huaiyu laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm afraid I'll end up like them."

He feared that he might also be the kind of scumbag who was fickle in his affections.

If his mother hadn't witnessed Shen Tingshan's infidelity, she wouldn't have been so traumatized that she went into premature labor.

He wouldn't have lost his mother at birth.

Pei Jinhe's eyes were firm as she told him, "Shen Huaiyu, you are different."

Shen Huaiyu's heart was filled with turbulent waves that he could not calm down for a long time.

Is he really different?

"To you, I'm a stranger. You don't have to pay any attention to me. After all, we're going to get divorced sooner or later."

Pei Jinhe listed all of Shen Huaiyu's good qualities: "But you didn't. You gave me a car, prepared a whole closet full of new clothes for me, taught me to drive, avenged me, and you even wore the tie I gave you. You cherish other people's kindness."

"The fact that Dr. Qin got so angry because he mistakenly thought you had an affair shows that you are perfect in his eyes, and perfect people can't tolerate any flaws. Also, my master is a very picky person, and I can completely trust him to cooperate with you."

"Your filial piety towards your grandmother and your respect for your sister, and the fact that you didn't treat her coldly just because she's your stepmother's daughter, shows that you'll treat those who are good to you well."

"Shen Huaiyu, your ruthless methods are only used against those with ill intentions. Your sharp blade will not be used against the innocent. You are a man of compassion and righteousness."

Countless emotions surged into Shen Huaiyu's heart like a tidal wave, and the ice wall that had stood high in his heart crumbled at this moment.

The man's thin lips curved into a handsome smile: "This is the first time someone has commented on me like this."

He paused for a moment, then said, "From now on, you should have bodyguards with you when you go out, to prevent accidents from happening again."

"Okay," Pei Jinhe said softly. "Shen Huaiyu, thank you for coming all the way to save me."

Although she wouldn't be in any trouble even if Shen Huaiyu didn't come, she was happy the moment she saw him.

A feeling of being cared for.

Shen Huaiyu's gaze fell on Pei Jinhe's phone: "Would you be willing to set me as your emergency contact? At least for the time we're married."

He promised, "No matter where I am, as soon as I receive a message from you, I will get to your side as quickly as possible."

Pei Jinhe looked up at him. The man's skin was extremely vibrant, thick and lustrous. The very faint mole at the corner of his eye added a touch of allure and bewitching charm to his naturally upturned eyes.

She smiled and said, "Then you mustn't break your promise."

Pei Jinhe was born extremely beautiful. When she didn't smile, she was pure and aloof, exuding a cold and distant air. But when she smiled, her peach blossom eyes curved into crescent moons, and her features became bright and beautiful, making her look like a fairy.

Shen Huaiyu's eyes darkened, and his throat inexplicably felt a little itchy: "I will definitely not break my promise."

"Have you eaten?" Pei Jinhe still remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner.

Shen Huaiyu, the person involved, had forgotten about this incident. In the past, when he was busy with work, it was perfectly normal for him not to eat on time.

But now some people care whether he has eaten or not.

In his life, which was as cold and desolate as ice and snow, a ray of blazing sunlight seemed to break in and melt away all the coldness.

Shen Huaiyu's eyes softened, and his expression was no longer as cold as before: "No."

Pei Jinhe stood up: "Then I'll make you a bowl of noodles."

"Okay." Shen Huaiyu nodded.

Pei Jinhe opened the refrigerator and took out tomatoes, eggs, and a small handful of noodles.

The kitchen lights cast a warm glow, and Pei Jinhe seemed to be bathed in that warmth as well, creating a hazy, cozy atmosphere.

Shen Huaiyu's eyes flickered slightly as he strode into the kitchen: "I'll wash the vegetables."

Pei Jinhe rolled up her sleeves and poured a layer of oil into the pot: "After washing, blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for ten seconds, then peel off the skin."

Shen Huaiyu was taken aback: "Why?"

"Tomatoes cooked this way are more likely to release their juices and become more juicy, making them taste even better."

Once the oil was hot, Pei Jinhe cracked the eggs into the pan. The eggs sizzled as they hit the hot oil.

"You can do it, right?" She turned to look at Shen Huaiyu. The man was tall and elegant, with extraordinary nobility, like a well-balanced ink painting, and he was the most stunning stroke in that painting.

"Yes." Shen Huaiyu rolled up his sleeves to his forearms, revealing his slender yet strong arms, while the sound of rushing water filled the air.

The two had a clear division of labor and quietly went about their own business, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere that was unique to everyday life.

Pei Jinhe scrambled the eggs and set them aside. Then, she quickly chopped the tomatoes into small pieces.

Once the tomatoes have released their juices and become mushy, add the seasonings.

She busied herself methodically, while Shen Huaiyu leaned against the doorframe watching her.

Her skin was very fair, her wrists were slender, her fingers were long and beautiful, her profile was soft, and her eyelashes were long and trembling slightly.
