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

Chapter 7 Cohabitation

Shen Huaiyu said indifferently, "No need."

"I'll be right there." After getting out of the car, Pei Jinhe didn't dare keep Shen Huaiyu waiting and rushed inside.

Upon entering the living room.

Ji Yuyan, who was lying on the sofa watching TV, sat up and pointed to the diamond necklace around her neck, showing it off.

"Sister, you're back! Look at the necklace that Brother Che gave me, isn't it pretty? I told him I didn't want it, but he insisted on giving it to me anyway."

Knowing that Shen Huaiyu was still waiting outside, Pei Jinhe didn't have time to pay attention to her and went straight upstairs.

Her complete disregard for him infuriated Ji Yuyan.

Ji Yuyan glared fiercely at her retreating figure.

Stop pretending!

She puts on a cold and indifferent facade, but she's probably dying of jealousy inside.

She's just waiting to marry that volatile and ruthless man, Master Shen.

But she's destined to be Mrs. Zhou.

Pei Jinhe's living quarters were worse than those of the family's servants; the room was so small that it could only fit a bed, a table, and a small wardrobe.

It's amazing that we were able to find a room like this for her to stay in the villa.

The Ji family really went to great lengths.

Pei Jinhe pulled a black suitcase out from under the bed.

A thin layer of dust had settled on it.

Pei Jinhe wiped the dust off the clothes and put them into the suitcase.

She keeps most of her belongings in her school dormitory; everything here can be packed in one suitcase.

"Why are you back? How did your chat with Third Master Shen go?"

Wu Min and Ji Wuzhenhua stood outside the door, looking at the cramped little room with nowhere to stand, and both of them frowned in disgust.

Wu Zhenhua actually disliked his adopted daughter, but considering that Pei Jinhe was still useful, he put on the act of a loving father.

"Jinhe, now that you've agreed to marry Third Master Shen, we're family. When would you like to talk to him about a collaboration?"

Pei Jinhe found it both ironic and amusing. She zipped up her suitcase and calmly asked, "Do you think I have any skills?"

She turned around, looking at the hypocritical faces of the couple, too lazy to engage in pretense: "Why did Third Master Shen marry me? Don't you know? To him, I'm like a vase on a shelf. Do you expect a vase to have any say?"

Shen Huaiyu married her because Old Madam Shen liked her.

Don't say she has no voice.

Even if it exists.

She wouldn't help the Ji family either.

Her kind grandmother has passed away.

She had absolutely no connection with the Ji family.

Seeing how useless she was, Wu Min was furious: "Is this face of yours just for show?"

Pei Jinhe retorted sarcastically, "Do you think Master Shen lacks beautiful women around him?"

After saying that, Pei Jinhe didn't give them a chance to speak and left with her suitcase.

Wu Min, enraged, burst into a tirade: "I'm so angry! If I'd known she was this useless, I shouldn't have adopted her from the orphanage!"

Ji Zhenhua's expression was also not good: "What's the use of saying all this now? The old lady of the Shen family has her eye on her as her granddaughter-in-law. The important thing now is to keep her calm."

Pulling her suitcase out of the Ji family home, Pei Jinhe looked up at the blue sky and white clouds.

The world seems to have brightened up.

When Shen Yan saw Pei Jinhe come out, he very tactfully stepped forward and took her suitcase.

"Thank you," Pei Jinhe said politely.

Shen Yan humbly replied, "This is what I should do."

Pei Jinhe opened the car door and got in: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

He is the president of the prestigious Shen Group.

He's always the one who waits for others; no one dares to make him wait.

Shen Huaiyu said calmly, "It's alright."

...

Meanwhile, the Zhou Group.

Zhou Yuanche stared blankly at his phone, repeatedly opening his chat window with Pei Jinhe.

It's been almost two days now.

Why hasn't Pei Jinhe sent him a message yet?

Is it really possible that I'm going to break up with him?

The mere thought of this possibility made Zhou Yuanche feel suffocated.

He said this in a panic as his assistant rushed in.

"President Zhou, something bad has happened. There's a problem with the R&D department. Chip A is too complex. Even if we have the chip, our technicians won't be able to replicate it exactly."

I heard that the developer of chip A was Dean He Bing's last disciple.

The chips he developed were naturally not something that ordinary technicians could replicate.

The R&D department has already tested this chip.

Smart home assistants equipped with the A-chip can chat and communicate with people. Their language system and way of thinking are very close to those of humans. They can also help their owners take care of children, play with cats and dogs, clean the house, wash vegetables and cook... They are almost indistinguishable from real people.

Zhou Yuanche's expression was grave: "What did the R&D department say?"

Assistant: "They'd like to ask if the developers of chip A could give them some guidance?"

Zhou Yuanche rubbed his temples: "Let me ask."

He opened Pei Jinhe's WeChat and typed: [Jinhe, what are you doing? I miss you.]

Click send.

The red exclamation mark made his pupils shrink in disbelief, and a sharp, stabbing pain, like being pricked by needles, rose in his heart.

Pei Jinhe actually blocked him.

He dialed Pei Jinhe's number again.

I can't get through.

Zhou Yuanche's jaw was clenched, and his face looked very unpleasant.

He didn't understand why Pei Jinhe would suddenly want to break up with him.

But he still needs Pei Jinhe's help.

This chip A was given to him by Pei Jinhe.

At the time, she said, "I told Dean He Bing's last disciple about your matter. She thinks highly of you and is willing to donate the A chip to the Zhou Group for use."

Considering that Pei Jinhe also studied artificial intelligence and joined the school's research group, although it was completely different from the research group led by Dean He Bing, it was normal for them to get to know each other since they were in the same field.

He didn't have any way to contact He Bing's disciple, and he had never even met her. When the contract was signed, He Bing signed it on his behalf.

The only way to contact the owner of the chip is to find Pei Jinhe.

Zhou Yuanche borrowed his assistant's phone to call Pei Jinhe.

Pei Jinhe and Shen Huaiyu were still in the car at that moment.

Pei Jinhe hesitated for a moment after seeing the unfamiliar number before answering.

My finger accidentally tapped the speakerphone.

Zhou Yuanche's voice came through the phone: "Jinhe, stop making a scene, okay? I apologize to you."

The man's clear voice rang out in the quiet car.

For a moment, the air froze, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Even Shen Yan, who was driving, secretly pricked up his ears.

I go.

Exciting!

Could it be that your wife already has a boyfriend?

Although there was no affection between the wife and the third master, they divorced a year later.

But this doesn't mean that Third Master can be magnanimous enough to allow his nominal Mrs. Shen to still be entangled with other men.

Shen Huaiyu narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly.

It's a man.
