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

When Guo Tianhao arrived, he saw Zhou Yuanche staring blankly at the pink teddy bear.

He sighed. "Brother Che, what did you want to see me about?"

Zhou Yuanche snapped out of his reverie and squeezed the plush toy's body with his fingers: "Have you found out anything about Jinhe's address that I asked Cheng to check last time?"

Guo Tianhao spoke frankly: "If nothing unexpected happens, she should be living in Lanyuan, near Peking University."

Zhou Yuanche's fingers tightened suddenly as he gripped the doll.

Just like Ji Yuyan said.

Pei Jinhe really did move into Lanyuan.

Does she really have a boyfriend?

Could that person really be her boyfriend today?

But that person's car is only worth around 300,000 yuan, how could he possibly afford a house in Lanyuan?

Seeing Zhou Yuanche's distraught appearance, Guo Tianhao said angrily, "Brother Che, it's not worth it for a gold digger like Pei Jinhe. She just broke up with you, and now she's moved into Lanyuan. Who would believe she doesn't have some ulterior motive?"

Zhou Yuanche said sternly, "Shut up! Jinhe isn't that kind of person!"

Guo Tianhao had been by Zhou Yuanche's side for more than ten years, and it was rare to see him so emotionally agitated.

It seems he truly has deep feelings for Pei Jinhe.

He asked, "Brother Che, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Yuanche looked at the doll in his hand, his voice low and hoarse: "I want to win Jinhe back."

"Why?" Guo Tianhao asked.

If Zhou Yuanche really goes after Pei Jinhe, what will happen to Ji Yuyan?

Although he also liked Ji Yuyan very much, he knew he was not good enough for her, and her heart only belonged to Zhou Yuanche.

Zhou Yuanche's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his voice was low and soft: "Just like you said, I really have fallen for her."

He has come to understand his own heart.

Although he pursued Pei Jinhe because of a bet.

But honestly, was the bet really that important to him?

If the bet required him to pursue other girls, would he agree?

I guess they're unwilling.

Guo Tianhao frowned deeply: "Brother Ke Che, she's not good enough for you. She can't offer you any help."

Zhou Yuanche lit a cigarette and exhaled smoke: "That's not important. I don't need her to help me. As long as she's willing to come back to me, I will definitely marry her and give her the treatment that a young mistress of the Zhou family deserves."

"The Zhou family will never agree to let her in. Are you really willing to give up your future for Pei Jinhe?" Guo Tianhao earnestly advised.

The Zhou family already has an illegitimate son who is eyeing them covetously. If Zhou Yuanche really marries a wife who has no backing, what if he can't beat the illegitimate son?

Zhou Yuanche said, "Although Jinhe's family is not well-off, she is highly educated and studied artificial intelligence. She can help the Zhou family, so there is still hope for my parents."

If Pei Jinhe is willing to be with him again, he will definitely clear all obstacles for her and marry her in a grand and glorious way.

Guo Tianhao hesitated before saying, "But would Pei Jinhe be willing? What if she really gets together with another man?"

Zhou Yuanche insisted, "No, we've been together, I know what kind of person Jinhe is."

Seeing his stubbornness, Guo Tianhao didn't know what to say.

If Pei Jinhe really finds another man, he'll probably go crazy.

He realized his own feelings, but it seemed a little too late now.

……

In the dead of night, the cold wind howled, and even the breath exhaled carried a white mist.

Chu Yunyan offered, "Jinhe, it's so late, let me take you home."

As soon as the words were spoken, bright headlights pierced the darkness and stopped in front of them.

The car window rolled down, revealing the man's strikingly handsome face.

"President Shen." Everyone greeted Shen Huaiyu.

Shen Huaiyu nodded, his gaze sweeping over Chu Yunyan and settling on Pei Jinhe: "Miss Pei, you're also dining at this restaurant, what a coincidence."

Pei Jinhe curled her lips into a smile: "What a coincidence."

This person really knows how to talk nonsense with a straight face.

Chu Yunyan looked at him warily: "President Shen, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Shen Huaiyu didn't respond, but instead asked Pei Jinhe, "Miss Pei, are you still staying at your previous place?"

"Mm." Pei Jinhe nodded.

Shen Huaiyu's fingers, resting on the steering wheel, were well-proportioned and long: "I'll give Miss Pei a ride home since it's on my way."

His tone was flat, devoid of emotion, as if he were genuinely just trying to help.

Chu Yunyan's eyes were deep and unfathomable: "No need to trouble President Shen, I can take Jinhe back myself."

Shen Huaiyu's lips curled into a cold smile: "No trouble at all. Miss Pei is my business partner, and it's only right to look after a business partner."

It is also called Jinhe.

They're really close.

Chu Yunyan looked at Shen Huaiyu with icy eyes: "President Shen, I heard you're already married."

Even if these young masters from wealthy families get married, it doesn't stop them from having affairs outside the marriage.

He had finally waited for Pei Jinhe and Zhou Yuanche to break up, and he couldn't let Shen Huaiyu beat him to it.

Shen Huaiyu glanced at Pei Jinhe: "You said yourself that it was just hearsay, you didn't see it with your own eyes."

This statement neither confirms nor denies anything.

After Shen Huaiyu finished speaking, he looked at Pei Jinhe again: "Miss Pei, shall we get in the car?"

Chu Yunyan gritted his teeth: "President Shen, it's not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together."

Shen Huaiyu raised an eyebrow playfully, asking with a half-smile, "You two, a lone man and a lone woman, are actually a good match?"

Chu Yunyan choked back a sob and retorted, "Jinhe and I have been friends for three years."

Shen Huaiyu's deep eyes were cold, and the cold white light shone on his face, making his features appear even more stern: "Since we are friends, we should maintain the proper distance between friends."

Chu Yunyan questioned, "What about President Shen? Shouldn't he also be mindful of his boundaries?"

The atmosphere between the two was tense and tense.

Pei Jinhe was in a real bind.

What's going on here?

Why don't we tell them about her marriage to Shen Huaiyu?

No.

They were only in a marriage of convenience; they would divorce sooner or later.

It's easy to cause complications if I say it out loud.

Looking at the smoke-filled battlefield, Song Mingchuan said, "This is truly a massive carnage."

Han Wanying glared at him: "Is this the time to watch the show?"

Song Mingchuan asked helplessly, "Then what can we do?"

Just as the two were at an impasse, Pei Jinhe said to them, "You two should go back first."

"Jinhe." Chu Yunyan frowned, a sharp pain shooting through his heart for a moment.

She really did choose Shen Huaiyu.

Pei Jinhe said gently, "It's alright, let's go back first."

After saying that, she opened the passenger door and got in.

Shen Huaiyu rolled up the car window, a slight smile playing on his lips, exuding the arrogance of a victor.

He is the rightful husband; everyone else has to step aside.

Watching the car drive away, Song Mingchuan was a little confused: "What's going on between Jinhe and President Shen? And isn't President Shen being a little too attentive to Jinhe?"
