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

Pei Jinhe looked wary, her palms sweating nervously. Her heart was pounding in her chest, whether from fear or something else, and it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.

Seeing her looking like she was facing a formidable enemy, Shen Huaiyu laughed out loud: "Just kidding."

Pei Jinhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Could it be that seeing the sexy lingerie his sister sent him last time aroused some sexual thoughts in him?

That dress was truly seductive. Shen Huaiyu only glanced at it before it aroused his desire. If she were to actually wear it, what would happen?

Shen Huaiyu patted the empty seat next to him: "Go to sleep."

Once the lights were turned off, the room was plunged into darkness, so quiet that you could hear the other person breathing.

Pei Jinhe turned over: "Shen Huaiyu."

"What's wrong?" Shen Huaiyu opened his eyes, and with the help of the dim light, he could vaguely see the outline of the woman's face.

Pei Jinhe gripped the blanket tightly, her voice trembling slightly in her throat as she said nervously, "Just like you said, we are husband and wife after all. If you want to fulfill your marital obligations, I won't refuse."

You're already married, there's no need to be so dramatic. You should fulfill your marital obligations.

Shen Huaiyu's breathing quickened, and he pressed, "Is it just because I'm your legal husband?"

Is there no other reason?

Pei Jinhe said seriously, "Otherwise what? I definitely wouldn't agree if you were a stranger."

In fact, when she agreed to get married, she was already prepared to fulfill her marital obligations, but Shen Huaiyu took the initiative to say that he would not fulfill them.

At the time, she was not familiar with Shen Huaiyu at all and thought it was a good thing not to fulfill marital obligations, but through spending time with him, she found that he was a pretty good person.

It's already the 21st century, chastity doesn't matter at all, as long as you don't mess around outside.

Furthermore, as a married woman, few people would believe her if she said she hadn't had a relationship with her husband.

Her husband is rich, handsome, broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, and has long legs. He's such a perfect man, she's definitely not at a disadvantage.

Shen Huaiyu sighed, "Pei Jinhe, when will you finally get it?"

Pei Jinhe asked, looking completely bewildered, "What do you mean by that?"

Shen Huaiyu didn't bother to explain: "It's nothing, go to sleep, we have to go to the company tomorrow."

Pei Jinhe blinked: "You're acting really strange today."

"Nothing strange, go to sleep." Shen Huaiyu reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Pei Jinhe's cheek was pressed against the man's broad chest, and through a thin layer of clothing, their body temperatures exchanged. In the pitch-black room, this amplified all five senses.

"What are you doing?" She blushed and leaned back, trying to get out of Shen Huaiyu's arms.

Shen Huaiyu hugged him even tighter: "Anyway, you'll still snuggle into my arms when you're asleep, so it's the same now, it's just a matter of time."

Having been successfully brainwashed by these words, Pei Jinhe stopped struggling and obediently let Shen Huaiyu hold her in his arms.

The heat emanating from the man made her heart tremble.

Although it wasn't the first time she had slept in Shen Huaiyu's arms, it was always after she had fallen asleep. Now, sleeping in his arms while fully awake, she felt quite embarrassed.

Lost in thought, Pei Jinhe fell asleep without realizing it.

Hearing her steady breathing, Shen Huaiyu lowered his head slightly and placed a kiss on her forehead: "I will not let you go."

Since you've fallen in love, you should fight for it and take it at all costs.

Moreover, he is now a legitimate husband, and as a husband, it is only natural for him to love his wife.

.....

The following day, at Lanyuan.

Zhou Yuanche stood at the entrance and looked into the residential area: "Are you sure Jinhe lives here?"

Guo Tianhao nodded: "That's right, but this is a high-end residential area with very tight security. We've tried everything these past few days, but we still haven't been able to get any useful information out of them."

Zhou Yuanche narrowed his eyes slightly.

How did Pei Jinhe, a college student who hasn't even graduated yet, manage to move into this upscale residential area?

She can't really find another man, can she?

No!

He absolutely must win Pei Jinhe back!

A black car drove out of the parking lot not far away.

Pei Jinhe, sitting in the back row, saw Zhou Yuanche at the door and frowned: "What's he doing here?"

Shen Huaiyu followed her gaze, his phoenix eyes narrowing dangerously: "Your ex-boyfriend isn't coming looking for you, is he?"

A proper ex should be like they're dead.

Don't they even have this much awareness?

Pei Jinhe paused for a moment: "He probably doesn't know I live here, right?"

Wasn't her statement about breaking up clear enough when she said it at the school gate last time?

Shen Huaiyu's voice was cold: "Whether it is or not, get rid of them first."

Ex-boyfriends are such an eyesore.

Just as they were figuring out how to get in, a security guard came out of the guard booth.

He looked at the two men expressionlessly, his tone businesslike: "Gentlemen, who are you here to see?"

Zhou Yuanche made up a story: "I have a friend who lives here, and I'm here to see her."

The security guard showed no intention of letting the two in: "Call your friend and have her come down to pick you up, otherwise please leave as soon as possible."

Zhou Yuanche slipped a pack of cigarettes to the security guard: "I forgot my phone, and I don't remember the number. Could you call her for me?"

The security guard glanced at the cigarette in his hand, led the two men into the guard booth, sat down in front of the computer, and asked, "What's your friend's name?"

Zhou Yuanche replied, "Pei Jinhe."

The security guard checked the computer and then said to the two people, "We don't have this person here. You've probably come to the wrong place. You'd better leave quickly."

Zhou Yuanche became anxious: "Really not? Check again."

The security guard looked a little impatient: "No, if you don't leave soon, I'm going to call security."

There really isn't any, but even if there were, he would at most make a phone call to ask the homeowner. Without the homeowner's consent, he would never let anyone in.

If a complaint comes down, losing his job would be the least of his worries.

Zhou Yuanche walked out of the security booth, looking utterly dejected.

Where did Pei Jinhe go?

If he had known he would really fall in love with Pei Jinhe, he definitely wouldn't have said those things at the bar that night.

If he finds out who leaked the information to Pei Jinhe, he will definitely not let him off!

On second thought, Zhou Yuanche began to deceive himself again: "I told you, you must have misunderstood. Jinhe doesn't live here at all."

Seeing his expression, Guo Tianhao couldn't help but ask, "Brother Che, is it possible that this house belongs to that man?"

He'd known Zhou Yuanche for so many years, when had he ever seen him like this?

A bet was made, and unexpectedly, Zhou Yuanche actually took it seriously.

To make matters worse, he fell for her, but Pei Jinhe found out the truth and broke up with him.

"This is absurd!" Zhou Yuanche coldly rebuked, "Shut up!" "I know Jinhe better than you what kind of person she is!"

If Pei Jinhe were truly someone who could be swayed by money, he wouldn't have needed to put in so much effort to pursue her in the first place.

Seeing that he was really angry, Guo Tianhao silently shut his mouth.

This is truly a tragic fate.

...

The president's office of Shen's Group.

Shen Huaiyu sat at his desk, a thin layer of frost on his devilishly handsome face, each word seemingly wrapped in ice: "How so?"

Shen Feng lowered his head, barely daring to breathe, and answered tremblingly, "Zhou Yuanche did indeed come to see Madam."

Shen Huaiyu sneered, "Looks like he really has too much free time. Let's find him something to do."

"Yes." Shen Feng silently lit three incense sticks for Zhou Yuanche in his heart.

Tell me, of all people to like, why did he have to fall for their wives?

More importantly, it's her ex-boyfriend.

I believe there are very few people in this world who would find their wife's ex-boyfriend agreeable.

She's still a persistent ex-girlfriend.

Zhou Yuanche smoked, staring blankly out the car window.

Where did Pei Jinhe go?

A cell phone rang urgently.

Zhou Yuanche pulled his phone out of his pocket, and as soon as the call connected, his assistant's frantic voice rang out: "Mr. Zhou! Something terrible has happened! The group's stock is in trouble! You need to come back immediately!"

His expression changed drastically, and he quickly said to Guo Tianhao, who was driving, "Hurry back to the company!"

Why would the stock suddenly have a problem?
