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

Chu Yunyan took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness and gloom churning in his heart, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "You noticed it too? He's being extremely attentive to Jinhe."

"Wanying, didn't you say that President Shen is already married?" Wei Chenghang was also worried that Pei Jinhe had been deceived by Shen Huaiyu. After all, they were friends, and he certainly couldn't just watch her fall into a pit of fire.

Han Wanying shook her head: "I only heard it from my mother, and I can't guarantee whether we're actually married or not."

Chu Yunyan was both worried and anxious: "Jinhe is still young. I'm afraid she'll be deceived, just like Zhou Yuanche."

Shen Huaiyu was young, promising, and handsome; Zhou Yuanche wasn't even worthy to carry his shoes.

If Shen Huaiyu really likes Pei Jinhe.

This is terrible.

Han Wanying looked worried: "I will find out whether President Shen is married or not, and I will also remind Jinhe."

No matter what, we absolutely cannot let Shen Huaiyu hurt Pei Jinhe.

She knew Shen Huaiyu to some extent.

He's not the kind of fickle, scumbag man.

There have never been any scandals in the industry.

His private life is incredibly clean.

……

in the car.

Looking at the man's cold expression, Pei Jinhe slowly said, "Chu Yunyan was just worried about my safety. Don't take what he just said to heart."

Shen Huaiyu was so angry he almost laughed, his voice gradually turning cold: "Pei Jinhe, are you speaking up for another man in front of your own husband?"

Pei Jinhe tightened her seatbelt: "He doesn't know anything about our relationship. From his perspective, we're not familiar at all."

Shen Huaiyu's eyes turned slightly cold: "Can't you see what he means?"

Pei Jinhe frowned: "What do you mean? Isn't it just concern between friends?"

Looking into her clear and innocent eyes, Shen Huaiyu was completely at a loss: "Yes, you're right."

She simply didn't realize that Chu Yunyan liked her.

This is good.

……

On Sunday, the etiquette teacher that Shen Huaiyu had found for Pei Jinhe came to Lanyuan.

Pei Jinhe spent the whole day learning various etiquette from her teacher.

This was the first time Pei Jinhe had ever realized how stiff her limbs were. Some movements were easy for the teacher to do, but it was a different story when it came to her.

After a day of learning, she finally understood why Xiao Yanzi was so angry when she was learning the rules.

After the teacher left, Pei Jinhe collapsed onto the sofa, utterly exhausted.

Shen Huaiyu came out of the study just in time to see this scene. He strode over and asked, "What happened?"

Pei Jinhe complained, "How come learning etiquette is more tiring than military training? After a day of this, my back and legs are aching. You have no idea how uncomfortable it is to eat while holding a bowl, and there are rules about how big each step should be when walking."

"And there's more. There are rules about how to sit. You have to sit gracefully, your legs shouldn't be apart, and you shouldn't laugh out loud. You should smile. There are many other things as well."

She talked on and on, finally giving up: "As expected, I'm just not cut out to be a socialite."

Shen Huaiyu sat down next to her, looking at her slightly tired face, and said softly, "You've worked hard. I'll have Aunt Wang cook you some extra delicious food tonight."

Pei Jinhe smiled and said, "But I learn very quickly. Even my teacher praised me, saying I was the most talented student she had ever seen."

"Is that so?" Shen Huaiyu's eyes were filled with a smile.

Pei Jinhe said proudly, "Yes, I can learn about 70% of it after she teaches me once, and with a little guidance, I can almost master it."

Shen Huaiyu praised without reservation, "Truly amazing."

"After two more days of learning, I'll have a good grasp of the basic etiquette," Pei Jinhe assured him confidently. "Don't worry, I definitely won't embarrass you."

Although it was a marriage of convenience, they still needed to consider each other during the marriage.

Shen Huaiyu's eyebrows and eyes were as black as ink: "I won't embarrass you either."

Pei Jinhe rolled her eyes at him speechlessly: "Seriously, does the word 'embarrassing' even apply to you?"

Given Shen Huaiyu's current status, there are people who are eager to curry favor with him. No matter what Shen Huaiyu does, they can praise him to the skies.

Shen Huaiyu crossed his long legs and said slowly, "It has nothing to do with me, but it has nothing to do with you either. Studying is to make yourself better, there's no need for any pressure."

Pei Jinhe was taken aback.

Undeniably, she learned these etiquette rules because she was afraid of embarrassing Shen Huaiyu.

She knew they weren't from the same social class, and she never thought about integrating into his class. There were plenty of people who wanted to see Cinderella marry into a wealthy family, so she couldn't lose face during her marriage.

Whether it belongs to her or Shen Huaiyu.

But Shen Huaiyu wasn't worried about it at all.

Is it because you have confidence in her?

Or is he the one who can resolve everything?

Pei Jinhe looked into the man's dark eyes, unable to fathom his true thoughts.

……

After finishing her meal, Pei Jinhe leaned back in her chair contentedly: "Food tastes best when eaten in big bites."

The etiquette teacher taught us to chew our food slowly and carefully, to handle our utensils gently... there were a whole bunch of things to pay attention to.

Shen Huaiyu wiped his mouth with a tissue and said casually, "You're fine the way you are. You don't need to change yourself intentionally."

"Learning etiquette is to give yourself more confidence in future social interactions, so that others can't find fault with you, not to change yourself."

When it's just the two of them in private, they naturally do whatever makes them comfortable.

Pei Jinhe nodded in agreement: "What you said makes a lot of sense."

Good manners can indeed leave a good impression on others.

It will also be helpful for future social interactions.

We didn't have the opportunity to learn before, but now that we do, we should definitely study hard.

……

The next day, as soon as Pei Jinhe arrived at the research lab, Han Wanying mysteriously pulled her aside.

She asked, "Jinhe, what's going on between you and President Shen?"

Pei Jinhe pursed her lips: "There's nothing between us."

Han Wanying said directly, "Don't you think President Shen's feelings for you aren't entirely innocent?"

"Really?" Pei Jinhe feigned ignorance.

Actually, Shen Huaiyu came to pick her up only because he was afraid she would fall into the trap of bad people again; he had no other intentions.

Han Wanying was clearly overthinking things.

Han Wanying: "Yes, otherwise why would he take you home? Not to mention women, even his childhood best friend Qin Yuyang might not get this treatment."

Yesterday she also asked her parents about Shen Huaiyu's marriage.

His parents said they had no definite news; they had only heard rumors and could not guarantee anything.

Pei Jinhe lied and said, "You're overthinking it. Actually, President Shen just wants to talk to me about intelligent medical robots."

"Really?" Han Wanying still didn't believe it.

"Otherwise what?" Pei Jinhe chuckled lightly. "What kind of beautiful women hasn't President Shen seen? Do you really think he'd be interested in me?"
