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

Liang Xuyan was speechless, feeling full even though he hadn't eaten yet: "Fine, we didn't come here to eat today, we came here to eat dogs and wolves."

I don't know what got into me, that I had to come here to get myself tortured.

These days, single people feel sad about everything.

Shen Huaiyu said in a cold voice, "You should be grateful to have something to eat. Don't be so picky."

Qin Yuyang patted the wine bottle: "Third Brother, I brought a bottle of good wine, want to have some?"

Shen Huaiyu didn't answer, but instead looked at Pei Jinhe: "Ask your sister-in-law if she agrees?"

Pei Jinhe's face flushed red instantly.

He wants to drink, what does that have to do with her?

They agreed before they got married that they would not interfere with or disturb each other.

Qin Yuyang smiled like an aunt: "Third Brother, are you becoming henpecked so quickly?"

They were so stubborn before, saying they didn't like it, but it hasn't been that long! They've really been slapped in the face.

In the future, I shouldn't make promises I can't keep, or I might end up being proven wrong.

Liang Xuyan readily agreed, asking, "Sister-in-law, are you letting Third Brother drink?"

When he asked, Pei Jinhe blushed even more. She lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "He can drink if he wants to. What does it have to do with me?"

From Shen Huaiyu's angle, he could see the woman's blushing cheeks and her eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings.

A hint of a smile lingered in the corners of the man's eyes and brows.

She's such a shy little girl.

Qin Yuyang exclaimed, "How can it be okay? You're Third Brother's wife. He won't dare drink it if you don't give the word."

A hint of shyness lingered in Pei Jinhe's clear eyes as she looked at Shen Huaiyu with her moist gaze: "You can't drink too much."

Shen Huaiyu obediently nodded: "Okay."

Qin Yuyang poured the wine into a glass: "Sister-in-law, would you like some?"

Pei Jinhe quickly refused, "No, I'll just have water."

Her alcohol tolerance is ridiculously low. Last time, she inexplicably spent the night with a strange man while drunk. That man didn't seem like someone to mess with. Luckily, she deleted all the surveillance footage, otherwise that man might have already found her.

If he were to mistakenly believe that she had drugged him, she would be doomed.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened, otherwise she would have had nowhere to cry.

This lesson was so profound that she will never touch a drop of alcohol outside again.

It was almost 10 p.m. when the meal ended.

Shen Huaiyu rubbed his temples and sighed, "They're finally gone."

Pei Jinhe couldn't help but chuckle: "You're disgusted with them?"

"Making a ruckus." Shen Huaiyu's voice was lazy and casual. Because he had been drinking, his eyes were somewhat hazy, as if he were drunk but not sober. He had lost his usual aloofness and restraint, and instead had become more unrestrained and carefree.

"They're your brothers." Pei Jinhe looked at Shen Huaiyu's alluring appearance and couldn't help but sigh that this man was truly devastatingly handsome.

She's really lucky to have such a wonderful husband.

More importantly, this husband doesn't have to fulfill marital obligations or have children; there really are freebies in this world.

Shen Huaiyu said with a look of disgust, "What's wrong with you, bro? You're just being a nuisance."

Disrupting his and Pei Jinhe's time together.

……

Just as Pei Jinhe returned to her bedroom, she received a call from Shen Hanyin.

"Sister," Pei Jinhe greeted politely.

Shen Hanyin smiled ambiguously: "Jinhe, did you see the clothes I prepared for you yesterday? Did you two have a three-hundred-round battle?"

She had already imagined the intense and exciting scene of the two of them in bed.

Pei Jinhe's face flushed again at the thought of the sexy lingerie from yesterday. She bit her lip and said, "I saw it."

"Anything dry, hehe?" Shen Hanyin's voice was incredibly excited.

"No," Pei Jinhe said casually, "I'm on my period."

Shen Hanyin said with great regret, "What a pity."

It's true that man proposes, God disposes; despite her thorough preparations, the intense scenes between the couple that she automatically imagined never actually happened.

After a pause, Shen Hanyin added, "Try on the clothes when you have time to see if they fit. If they don't, I'll buy you new ones."

Pei Jinhe quickly refused, "No need, this one is fine."

She and Shen Huaiyu weren't exactly a married couple, and they had no intention of fulfilling their marital obligations.

After chatting for a while, Shen Hanyin said, "It's getting late, I won't disturb you two while you sleep."

Shen Huaiyu pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing the blush that hadn't faded on Pei Jinhe's face, he chuckled and said, "Why is your face so red?"

Pei Jinhe touched her burning face and stammered, "N-nothing, it's just a little hot."

Shen Huaiyu's eyes clearly showed a hint of amusement: "Is it hot? It's almost December already."

Pei Jinhe retorted stubbornly, "Isn't it hot inside?"

Shen Huaiyu's phoenix eyes shone brightly: "Okay."

"I'm going to take a shower first." Pei Jinhe grabbed her pajamas and rushed into the bathroom as if her life depended on it.

In the quiet room, the sound of rushing water could be heard. Shen Huaiyu's lips curled slightly, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

It's quite amusing to tease Pei Jinhe.

When Pei Jinhe came out of the bathroom, Shen Huaiyu was leaning against the headboard, flipping through documents. The man was wearing black pajamas, with two buttons casually undone at the collar, revealing his sexy Adam's apple. His muscular chest was faintly visible under the clothes, making him incredibly alluring, a picture of a devilishly handsome man.

This man is incredibly handsome.

His gaze swept over to Pei Jinhe, whose shapely figure was hidden beneath her loose pajamas. Her exposed skin was delicate and porcelain white, her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her pure face exuded an ethereal charm.

Shen Huaiyu unconsciously swallowed twice, his throat feeling dry and itchy.

Since realizing his feelings for Pei Jinhe, he seems to be losing his resistance to her more and more.

Pei Jinhe clearly felt Shen Huaiyu's burning gaze and stood frozen in place.

Shen Huaiyu placed the documents in his hand on the bedside table, looked away, and lazily looked at Pei Jinhe: "What are you standing there for? Come and go to sleep. I'm not going to eat you."

"The way you looked just now really made me look like you were going to eat me alive." Pei Jinhe walked over slowly, her big, watery eyes looking at Shen Huaiyu. "Shen Huaiyu, we agreed not to fulfill our marital obligations."

At this point, her expression turned serious: "You're not thinking of backing out, are you?"

Even if Shen Huaiyu is as detached from worldly desires as he may be, he is still a young and vigorous man. A woman sleeping next to him every day, even if there is no affection, does not necessarily mean there is no desire.

Shen Huaiyu teased her on purpose: "I do have that thought. After all, we are a legally married couple, and I am a man. Every man has desires. It is indeed hard to resist you sleeping next to me every day."

He's not exactly a gentleman.

The main reason was that I was afraid of scaring Pei Jinhe.

It wouldn't be good if we scared someone to tears.
