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

"Other people get married because they love each other, but we don't. Besides, the agreement states that we will not interfere with or disturb each other, and we will divorce after one year." Pei Jinhe recounted the contents of the original agreement.

Shen Huaiyu's fingers tightened slightly as he gripped the chopsticks: "How do you remember this so clearly?"

If only I had known this would happen.

We shouldn't have prepared a prenuptial agreement in the first place.

Is it too late for him to tear it up now?

This is like lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot.

"Isn't this just a constant reminder to myself? What if, what if..." Pei Jinhe stammered for a long time without being able to get a coherent answer.

A faint smile played on Shen Huaiyu's lips: "What if what?"

Pei Jinhe lowered her head and ate her food, changing the subject: "It's nothing, let's eat."

I don't remind myself all the time.

What if she really falls for Shen Huaiyu?

Shen Huaiyu doesn't like him either.

A year later, she wouldn't be able to stubbornly refuse to divorce him.

So all she has to do is guard her heart.

I must not be tempted by this man.

You absolutely cannot fall in love with him.

After finishing their meal, the two prepared to go to the company headquarters.

Pei Jinhe said to him, "By the way, Qin Yuyang and Liang Xuyan are coming to our house for dinner today. Please ask Aunt Wang to buy more groceries."

"You're really going to cook yourself?" Shen Huaiyu's face was dark, and his phoenix eyes held a hint of coldness.

Even if you're best friends, you don't deserve to eat the food your wife cooks.

Pei Jinhe blinked her innocent big eyes: "I've already agreed to them."

Qin Yuyang did her a huge favor, so shouldn't she cook him a meal to thank him?

In fact, according to the original design of intelligent medical robots, psychological problems were not included.

But because of Shen Huaiyu, she added a function.

It is also hoped that all patients with mental illnesses can get out of their inner shadows when using this robot.

"And they don't even know who did it?" Shen Huaiyu said. "It's exhausting to cook such a big meal after a long day."

Although he had never cooked.

But I also know that cooking a large meal for one person is no easy task.

Pei Jinhe didn't think it was a big deal: "Actually, it's alright. Maybe it's because I like cooking."

As long as she doesn't have to wash the pots and pans, everything is fine.

Cooking is a piece of cake for her.

Shen Huaiyu compromised slightly: "You make one dish, and Aunt Wang will make the rest."

"Isn't this a bit much?" She agreed to let them try her cooking.

What can you taste in this dish?

Shen Huaiyu retorted, "You only said you were going to cook, you didn't say how much."

Pei Jinhe: "..."

She was speechless after hearing that.

That seems to make sense.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Huaiyu spoke first: "It's settled then."

.....

Upon arriving at the company, I immediately began testing the machines, keeping myself extremely busy all morning.

Before starting work in the afternoon.

Pei Jinhe finally had a chance to ask Han Wanying, "How is your relative's illness?"

Han Wanying sat in the chair: "She just needs to rest, it's nothing serious."

Pei Jinhe was relieved.

It's good that you're alright.

Han Wanying rolled her eyes, thinking of the rumors she had heard, and said mysteriously, "I heard that at Grandpa Qin's birthday banquet yesterday, President Shen brought a female companion, and at the banquet, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family slandered her, and President Shen sent her straight to jail."

"The Jiang family is now begging for help everywhere, trying to get Jiang Jing out of trouble."

Pei Jinhe was taken aback.

This news spread way too fast!

It's true that no matter what kind of person you are, you love to gossip.

Also, Han Wanying didn't go yesterday.

Otherwise, her identity would be exposed.

Chu Yunyan raised his lips: "It's perfectly normal for a man like him to have female companions."

Shen Huaiyu is truly a scumbag.

He wanted to pursue Pei Jinhe while taking other women to a birthday banquet.

But this is for the best, after all, based on his understanding of Pei Jinhe, she is intolerant of any imperfections.

I wouldn't want a fickle man.

Han Wanying's eyes widened: "But after all these years, this is the first time President Shen has brought a female companion to this kind of occasion."

"There's a first time for everything, so don't be too shocked." Chu Yunyan glanced at Pei Jinhe.

Pei Jinhe's face remained calm, her expression unchanged.

Chu Yunyan was a little unsure about Pei Jinhe's attitude.

Does she really not like Shen Huaiyu? Is it all just Shen Huaiyu's wishful thinking?

Han Wanying continued to reveal: "President Shen's female companion is someone that everyone doesn't know, and she is clearly not from the upper-class circles of Kyoto."

Song Mingchuan casually said, "In my opinion, marriage doesn't necessarily have to be between equals; as long as the two people are in love, that's enough."

Wei Chenghang said calmly, "There's some truth to the idea of ​​marrying someone of equal social standing. But can things really last if people have different perspectives, different social circles, and different spending habits?"

Song Mingchuan retorted, "Love can overcome all difficulties."

Wei Chenghang laughed at his naiveté: "Song Mingchuan, how old are you to still believe such a thing?"

Han Wanying agreed with Song Mingchuan's statement: "Actually, what he said makes sense. It doesn't necessarily have to be a good match in terms of social status, values, and ambition.

Just like her home.

Her parents didn't require a marriage between people of similar social standing.

As long as the man is a decent person and truly loves her, that's all that matters.

Song Mingchuan's lips curled up in a wanton smile: "I told you, there are still people who support my point of view."

Does this prove that Han Wanying's family doesn't value social status?

After all, their family wasn't exactly wealthy; they were just relatively well-off.

Chu Yunyan looked at Pei Jinhe: "Jinhe, what do you think?"

Pei Jinhe smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, and I actually agree with it."

There's a reason behind the saying "marrying someone of equal social standing."

But love shouldn't just be about matching social status; it also requires sincerity.

She smiled again and said, "It would be even better if we could have both."

Han Wanying glanced at her and teased, "You're quite the thinker."

Pei Jinhe said lazily, "I was just thinking about it. The upper class doesn't necessarily value social status; some people value character more."

"What do you think about President Shen's matter? Do you think he's serious?" Chu Yunyan brought the topic back to the present.

Pei Jinhe shrugged: "I'm not a mind reader, how could I possibly know what he's thinking?"

It was just a marriage of convenience.

Where does sincerity come from?

Chu Yunyan lowered his gaze.

Seeing Pei Jinhe's nonchalant attitude, Chu Yunyan couldn't help but frown. Could it be that he was really overthinking things?

Pei Jinhe picked up her phone and glanced at the time: "Enough talk, let's get to work."

We need to develop the intelligent medical robot as soon as possible so we can finish this project sooner.

……

Back at Lanyuan that evening, Pei Jinhe looked at the ingredients in the kitchen and pondered for a moment: "I'll make some shredded pork with garlic sauce."

Shen Huaiyu rolled up his sleeves and helped her wash the ingredients: "Don't make too much, it'll be a waste if we can't finish it."
