Sweet Temptation! The Beauty in President Pei's Palm is Too Alluring

"Her name is not before the Buddha, but her lamp is in my palm."

Everyone says Mrs. Pei has a noble and refined destiny, fit to spend her life in seclusion, devoted to Buddhism and the lamp. But I will defy fate, refusing to let the bright moon shine on my lonely lamp. — Pei Yanzhou

Royal Bay Villas.

Shu Hua, dressed in a white lace-trimmed nightgown, sat on the edge of a large bed that could comfortably accommodate five or six people, her fingertips icy cold.

All her knowledge of her nominal husband, Pei Yanzhou, the head of the Pei Empire, came from financial magazines and rumors: a ruthless, woman-averse, and ruthless ruler.

But the most important thing is that he's incredibly handsome!

"Squeak—"

The door was pushed open, and a man reeking of alcohol walked in. He was extremely tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. He wore a simple black shirt with an overwhelming sense of power. His handsome face was expressionless, but when his deep eyes fell on her, Shu Hua instinctively shrank back.

Pei Yanzhou walked up to her in a few steps, looking down at her. His gaze swept over her trembling eyelashes, and... the full curves of her breasts about to burst forth from beneath the neckline of her nightgown. His eyes deepened almost imperceptibly for a moment.

"I……"

Shu Hua mustered her courage, raised her innocent yet alluring face, and said in a voice so soft it could melt water, "Mr. Pei, I will be very obedient and won't cause you any trouble."

This was the best way she could think of to protect herself.

Pei Yanzhou leaned down, his slender fingers lifting her chin, the warmth of his fingertips making her tremble.

"Be obedient?" he repeated in a low, deep voice, tinged with a hint of amusement. "How do I mean obedient?"

Shu Hua's heart pounded like a drum. Watching his handsome face slowly approach, she instinctively closed her eyes. The expected kiss didn't fall; instead, the man's hot breath brushed against her ear, sending a shiver down her spine.

"Remember what you said."

Shu Hua's heart hadn't yet calmed down from Pei Yanzhou's playful "Remember what you said" when she heard him speak again, his voice carrying an unquestionable command.

"stand up."

Shu Hua was taken aback. Her thick, curled eyelashes fluttered twice like butterfly wings, and her upturned face was filled with confusion.

But when he told her to get up, she dared not disobey.

She obediently braced herself against the soft bed, trying to stand up. The hem of her pure white lace nightgown swayed slightly as she rose, outlining her slender yet shapely legs.

She had just steadied herself and hadn't even had a chance to ask what to do next when Pei Yanzhou suddenly leaned down.

The next second, the world spun around.

He had already lifted her up.

Instinctively, the moment he picked her up, she instinctively wrapped her legs around his strong waist and her slender arms tightly around his neck, like a frightened koala, clinging to him.

"Mr. Pei?" Her voice trembled with fright.

Pei Yanzhou seemed to chuckle softly, his large hand firmly supporting her buttocks to prevent her from slipping down. He carried her like that and walked a few steps to the huge French window in the bedroom.

The night view of Royal Bay is dazzling, shining through the glass curtain wall.

Then, the man gently lifted her up and placed her on the cool marble windowsill.

「!」

Shu Hua's back stiffened instantly.

This is the second floor. Although it's not extremely high, looking down, the ground lights in the garden look like distant stars. Falling down there would definitely result in death or serious injury.

Pei Yanzhou's hands tightly encircled her waist, holding her in this dangerous yet heart-pounding position. He leaned down, his handsome face close to hers, his deep eyes particularly compelling in the night.

"Afraid of falling?" he asked, his voice low and slightly mocking.

Shu Hua nodded frantically, her face pale, her voice soft and tearful: "I'm scared..."

She tightened her arms around his neck, almost burying herself in his chest, and whispered in a tearful voice, "Will...will you let me fall?"

Pei Yanzhou didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "What do you think?"

Shu Hua looked up at his Adam's apple and jawline, which were so close to hers, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively asked in a low voice, "No...no way?"

"Why?" He seemed very interested in her answer.

Shu Hua's mind went blank, and her survival instincts made her start rambling: "Because...because Mr. Pei is a good person!"

Yes, just keep giving him the "friend zone" card! Let's keep him calm first!

"A good person?" Pei Yanzhou scoffed, as if he had heard something utterly absurd. He tightened his grip on her waist, his fingertips able to clearly feel the softness of her slender waist and the tension in her back through the thin fabric of her nightgown.

He looked down at her.

Under the light, the girl's skin was so white it was almost translucent. Her eyes were red from nervousness, and her long eyelashes were wet. Her innocence was tinged with an unconscious allure.

But her words "good person," coupled with her current appearance of being so frightened she was about to faint, yet still trying to appear calm and ingratiating towards him, made her seem like a good person.

He suddenly realized that this girl was a little too obedient.

He could clearly feel that the skin pressed against his chest was covered in tiny goosebumps from fear.

Her body, however, tells a more honest story than her mouth.

"You said you would be obedient?" He changed the subject, his voice hoarse.

Shu Hua nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Pei Yanzhou's gaze fell on her slightly parted, glistening cherry lips, and his eyes darkened.

"Can you kiss?" he asked, surprising everyone.

"Huh?" Shu Hua was completely stunned, her brain freezing on the spot.

What... what kind of leap of reasoning is this?

She shook her head frantically, then realized something was wrong and quickly nodded. In the end, she didn't know how to react, and her face turned as red as if it were about to bleed.

Pei Yanzhou was amused by her confused reaction and raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by shaking your head and nodding like that?"

Shu Hua's voice was barely audible, almost on the verge of tears: "I...I don't know...but...but does watching TV count?"

She's never been in a relationship, and she still has her first kiss intact, so how could she be kissing!

"Have you seen it on TV?" Pei Yanzhou repeated, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, before commanding in a seductive voice, "Then kiss me now."

He paused, then added, his voice laced with coaxing, "I'll teach you."

Shu Hua's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest.

Kiss him?

Now?

In a place suspended in mid-air?

It might be a bit too exciting...

She looked at his face, its features cold and hard yet perfect. His deep eyes were now focused on her, as if there were whirlpools within them, threatening to suck her in.

The scent of cedar mixed with a faint tobacco fragrance enveloped her tightly.

Her mind was a complete mess.

But... he said he would teach.

Besides, he's so handsome and has such a great physique that it's hard to look away... It seems like she's not at a disadvantage either?

Even... made a profit?

Once this absurd idea took hold, she was actually bewitched.

She took a deep breath, as if making a decision, closed her eyes, and mustered her courage to lean towards his slightly cool, thin lips.

However, just a second before they were about to collide, her small nose suddenly wrinkled. She stopped moving.

She opened her eyes and asked softly, "Did you smoke?"

Reading Tips:

1: Female lead is 23 vs. Male lead is 30, both are virgins.

2. The female lead is the darling of the family, both timid and flirtatious, and falls for the male lead at first sight. Spoiled and well-protected since childhood, she's naive and inexperienced, so she habitually acts coquettishly and knows how to use her advantages.

3: A lighthearted, Mary Sue-esque story with no angst or abuse. Not a strong female lead story; the female lead is delicate, and the male lead is very strong. Enter at your own risk if you dislike this genre.

4. The male lead has a physical attraction to the female lead, is very sexually driven, knows her little quirks, and deliberately teases her (only towards the female lead).

5: The female lead is like a sweet and soft little cake, using the softest face to say the harshest things. She's beautiful, has a sweet voice, and is both timid and brave! A little rich girl!

6: The male and female leads are initially attracted to each other at first sight. Although their marriage was originally arranged by their families, they gradually reveal their true feelings as they spend more time together.
