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

"No," Pei Jinhe answered decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

Shen Huaiyu's pupils dilated, his jaw tightened, and he laid bare the deepest scars in his heart: "But what if I am that kind of person? After all, my father and grandfather were like that."

He didn't want to let Pei Jinhe leave.

On the one hand, he couldn't help but think about the woman he had a one-night stand with.

What makes him any different from the others?

"You won't."

Pei Jinhe's eyes were clear and her tone was firm: "If you were really that kind of person, it's impossible that you're already twenty-six and haven't even had a girlfriend."

Shen Huaiyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Is it possible that I've been suppressing it all along?"

Pei Jinhe was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Do you have someone you like? We are only in a marriage of convenience. You can pursue your lover. If it really doesn't work out, we can get a divorce in advance."

As she said these words, it felt as if something had pierced her heart, causing a dull ache.

It was a marriage of convenience, without any feelings involved. Even if Shen Huaiyu had someone he liked, she could understand.

Hearing her calm and collected words, Shen Huaiyu felt a tightness in his chest and his breathing became slightly labored: "No."

He truly has no feelings for him whatsoever.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to say those words so easily.

Pei Jinhe felt a surge of joy, but also a barely perceptible sadness: "You don't even have anyone you like, why are you thinking so much?"

Shen Huaiyu looked up at the cold moon hanging high in the sky: "I'm afraid I'll become the kind of person I hate the most."

Pei Jinhe said, "Shen Huaiyu, you are different from them. Your clean conduct over the years is the best proof of that."

Shen Huaiyu gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Actually, I'm not as good as you think."

He's not a good person.

He was ruthless and cruel by nature.

Sometimes I can't even control my emotions.

Pei Jinhe's eyes were clear and bright, as if a shooting star had streaked across them: "But you're not as bad as you think, do you believe me?"

She never expected that the usually shrewd and resourceful Master Shen would have such a vulnerable and insecure side.

He wasn't cold-hearted; he just hid his emotions.

Because he had no way out.

His father and elder brother were watching his position intently. If he dared to show any weakness or helplessness, he might not even be able to save his own life.

She understands this very well.

After her grandmother passed away, she lived a precarious life in the Ji family, but she was only fifteen years old at the time and could not completely break away from the Ji family.

We can only endure it.

When faced with Ji Yuyan's bullying.

She couldn't show weakness.

Showing weakness will only embolden her.

Shen Huaiyu replied without hesitation, "I believe you."

After saying that, he himself found it a little hard to believe.

He and Pei Jinhe had been married for less than two months.

Did he really believe her that much?

Pei Jinhe smiled charmingly: "I believe you are not that kind of person. Since you believe in yourself, it means you believe you are not that kind of fickle scumbag."

Shen Huaiyu chuckled, his long, narrow phoenix eyes curving slightly: "You can explain it like that?"

"Of course." Pei Jinhe nodded. "Don't underestimate yourself. There aren't many men like you who are rich, good-looking, and don't philander."

The gloom in Shen Huaiyu's heart was blown away by the wind, letting in a ray of bright sunshine: "Since you trust me so much, then naturally I can't let you down."

He will definitely be able to control his emotions.

He glanced at Pei Jinhe's cold and pure face, a slight smile curving his thin lips.

He wanted to follow his heart.

They wouldn't let Pei Jinhe leave.

He wanted Pei Jinhe to fall in love with him.

Pei Jinhe yawned: "Let's go, time to sleep. We have to get up early for the company tomorrow."

When will she be able to finally lie down completely?

...

The next day.

While eating breakfast, Number One strolled up to Pei Jinhe and said, "Master, when are you going to upgrade me? Number One wants to be the coolest guy."

Pei Jinhe sipped her porridge with a spoon: "Didn't you just level up a few days ago?"

Number One: "Not enough. Number One's appearance also needs to be changed. He needs to be tall, mighty, brave, and handsome."

Shen Huaiyu glanced at it: "You have quite a few conditions."

He was also tall, strong, brave, and handsome.

What would a robot need with this shape?

It's good that you have a round head now.

Pei Jinhe asked, "What kind of appearance do you want?"

"This one." Number One showed off the picture of Ultraman Tiga that he had already set his sights on.

Pei Jinhe: "..."

She simply couldn't imagine Ultraman cleaning the house, scrubbing pots and washing dishes.

Number One's voice was cheerful: "Master, if you believe in the light, can you grant Number One's wish?"

"No." Pei Jinhe refused firmly.

It's quite troublesome to change the appearance.

Number One pressed further: "Why?"

Pei Jinhe lied and said, "There's no copyright."

Number One tugged at Shen Huaiyu's clothes: "Second Master, hurry up and buy the copyright, so Number One will have a handsome and cool new look, and will be much more eye-catching when going out."

Shen Huaiyu: "..."

A robot doesn't need to be this handsome.

Pei Jinhe threatened, "If you keep yelling, I'll dismantle your language system."

Number One was afraid that Pei Jinhe would really tear it apart, so he clung to Shen Huaiyu's leg and said, "Second Master, please put in a good word for Number One. If you ever need anything from Number One in the future, Number One will definitely help you."

Shen Huaiyu looked up at Pei Jinhe and said slowly, "I'm afraid of my wife."

Pei Jinhe glared at him, exasperated: "Shen Huaiyu! What have I done to you that you're so afraid of your wife?"

Shen Huaiyu said unhurriedly, "Now that we're married, I have to listen to my wife."

"what?"

Pei Jinhe was completely baffled: "Is something wrong with you? Otherwise, why are you talking nonsense?"

She never cared about Shen Huaiyu's affairs.

wrong.

The only thing I ever interfered with was making sure he ate on time.

Pei Jinhe glanced at Number One, then at Shen Huaiyu, and suddenly realized, "I understand. You just don't want to speak up for Number One, so you're pushing all the blame onto me, right?"

"Is that how you see me?" Shen Huaiyu hadn't expected Pei Jinhe's thought process to be so peculiar.

Pei Jinhe said, "Or why don't you explain it to me?"

Shen Huaiyu made an excuse: "That's what all the married men in our circle say."

This can be considered a sliver of the truth.

But more than anything, he wanted Pei Jinhe to treat him like an ordinary married couple.

Even if you try to control him, he's actually quite willing to do so.

The problem is, Pei Jinhe has no way of caring about him.

I'm suddenly a little envious of people who have wives to keep them in check.

It's all that agreement's fault!

Pei Jinhe said carelessly, "Our situation is different from theirs, so don't try to copy everything."

Shen Huaiyu asked, "You're married now, what's different?"
