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

"You're quite impressive to have found a way to break the deadlock in such a short time." Shen Hanyin was surprised that Pei Jinhe could observe so meticulously.

Looking at Pei Jinhe, who was poised and composed, Shen Hanyin finally understood why her picky grandmother insisted on having Pei Jinhe as her granddaughter-in-law.

Such a girl is truly a rare find in this world.

Grandma was truly prescient.

Sure enough, experience is the best teacher.

……

It was already late at night when the birthday banquet ended.

A cold wind was blowing fiercely outside, and the chill was biting.

Pei Jinhe was still wearing a sleeveless dress. As soon as she approached the door, a cold wind blew over, making her shiver involuntarily.

next moment.

A coat, still warm from her body, was draped over her shoulders, protecting her from the cold outside.

The scent of sandalwood spread across my nose, like a tingling electric current flowing from my shoulders to my heart.

Shen Huaiyu was wearing a black shirt underneath, which made him look abstinent and cold.

He said, "It's cold outside."

Pei Jinhe pulled her coat tighter, her red lips slightly pursed, and her earlobes flushed red.

Shen Hanyin joked, "Brother, have you considered that your sister is cold too?"

This dog food really caught me off guard.

Shen Huaiyu said nonchalantly, "You can find me a brother-in-law, then someone will be there to put your coat on you."

"I'm not going to look for one. It's so much more comfortable and carefree to be alone."

Shen Hanyin glanced at Pei Jinhe: "Jinhe, come with me, I have something to give you."

Pei Jinhe followed her to the car to get her things.

Shen Hanyin took a black handbag from the back of the car and handed it to Pei Jinhe: "Take this, you can look at it when we get back."

"Okay." Pei Jinhe reached out and took it, nodding obediently.

Looking at the well-behaved Pei Jinhe, Shen Hanyin pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "Little Jinhe, I'm leaving now. See you again sometime."

Pei Jinhe reminded her, "Sister, drive carefully."

Watching the car drive away, Pei Jinhe picked up the bag and went to find Shen Huaiyu.

She had only taken two steps when she heard someone call out to her, "Sister-in-law."

Pei Jinhe recognized Shen Youcheng's voice and quickened her pace without turning her head.

Shen Youcheng strode up to her, blocking her path. His playful and teasing eyes fell on her: "Don't you want to know anything about Shen Huaiyu?"

"I don't want to," Pei Jinhe said indifferently.

Shen Youcheng was stunned. How come this was different from what he had expected?

A flicker of interest appeared in his eyes: "Don't want to? Why?"

Pei Jinhe said coldly, "I don't want to know from you."

"Did you know that Shen Huaiyu is sick?"

As Shen Youcheng spoke, he observed Pei Jinhe's expression: "He'll kill people when he has an attack, so you, as his wife, need to be careful."

He wanted to see panic, fear, and disgust in Pei Jinhe's eyes.

But the result was unexpected.

Pei Jinhe remained calm, her expression unchanged.

"Shen Youcheng, the one you should really be wary of is you. Even if Shen Huaiyu has an attack, the first person he'll kill is you."

She looked directly into Shen Youcheng's eyes, forcing a smile: "After all, you have a criminal record."

She was referring to the incident where Shen Youcheng was almost beaten to death by Shen Huaiyu.

Shen Youcheng's expression changed, his jaw tightened, and his feigned gentleness almost crumbled.

Pei Jinhe's red lips curled into a slight smile, a mocking tone: "But don't worry, if Shen Huaiyu really accidentally kills you, I'll have someone come and collect your body, making sure there's no evidence left."

Shen Youcheng clenched his fist tightly.

If he weren't afraid of alarming people by making a move here, he would definitely teach this sharp-tongued little girl a lesson!

Shen Youcheng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and resumed his gentle and refined demeanor: "Huaiyu is filial to his grandmother. He only married you because of her. He has no heart and will never fall in love with you."

Pei Jinhe smiled gently, her bright white teeth gleaming, her beauty captivating: "It's alright, it's not important. Now that I'm in charge, I'm the matriarch of the Shen family, and Shen Huaiyu gives me a lot of money every month."

"Now that I have status and money, whether he loves me or not, it doesn't change the fact that I am his wife."

"Anyway, I didn't give him anything in return, so it seems like I'm the one who came out ahead."

She spoke very realistically, with a sweet smile, showing no sadness or distress whatsoever that a wife would feel upon learning that her husband no longer loves her.

Shen Youcheng was surprised by Pei Jinhe's response. He continued, "Pei Jinhe, you're so naive. He's only being nice to you because you're useful to him. The day you're no longer useful, the first thing he'll do is divorce you."

Pei Jinhe's eyes flickered, and she retorted, "I have neither money nor power, what is there for him to exploit?"

"Of course it's you..." Shen Youcheng's voice trailed off halfway through his sentence.

He glanced at Pei Jinhe.

Really careless.

I almost revealed that Pei Jinhe was helping Shen Huaiyu develop intelligent medical robots.

This matter is a secret of the Shen Group; apart from the research personnel, only Shen Feng and Shen Yan know about it.

If he were to reveal this, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

I thought she was just a clueless college student, but I never expected her to be so cunning.

I almost managed to get him to reveal what he was saying.

Pei Jinhe tugged at her coat: "What? Why did you stop talking?"

Shen Youcheng quickly composed himself and said calmly, "Although I know what you have to offer, I also know that he never does anything that doesn't benefit him."

Pei Jinhe said nonchalantly, "We'll talk about the future later. Living well in the present is the most important thing."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Shen Huaiyu is waiting for me to come home."

After saying that, she walked past Shen Youcheng and left directly.

Shen Youcheng looked at Pei Jinhe's slender and frail figure, a hint of almost fanatical possessiveness emanating from his eyes.

That's interesting, absolutely very interesting.

His sister-in-law really impressed him.

If only we could be of use to him.

Shen Huaiyu can die.

As for Pei Jinhe...

Wouldn't it be such a pity if he died like this?

the other side.

As Shen Huaiyu walked out of the banquet hall and was about to get into his car, Shen Tingshan approached with Wu Min.

Shen Tingshan's eyes were filled with disdain and disgust: "To make such a scene in public for a woman from such a humble background, aren't you ashamed of yourself!"

In his opinion, Pei Jinhe was not worthy of entering the Shen family's door at all.

The fact that she was adopted by a second-rate family is a huge embarrassment to the Shen family.

Shen Huaiyu leaned casually against the car, his deep, cold eyes sweeping over Shen Tingshan, his voice unusually icy: "It's not as shameful as you bringing Sanhe's illegitimate child along. Besides, protecting your wife is a matter of course, not only not shameful, but also shows great responsibility."
