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

Nuonuo looked up, sobbing, "Really? Will Auntie remember Nuonuo?"

"Yes, I will," Shu Hua said softly. "I definitely will."

Pei Yanzhou, watching from the side, picked up Nuonuo and said, "Alright, Aunt needs to rest. We won't disturb her anymore, okay?"

His voice was gentle, completely different from his cold and hard demeanor just now. Watching him soothe the child, Shu Hua's wariness towards him suddenly lessened a little.

Moreover... she felt like she had seen this scene somewhere before.

Pei Yanzhou carried Nuonuo and went out with everyone. Only Shu Hua and Chi Yuchu remained in the ward—Chi Yuchu had been standing by silently, her eyes red.

The moment the door closed, Chi Yuchu immediately revealed her true colors, throwing herself onto the bedside and hugging Shu Hua tightly, tears streaming down her face: "Shu Xiaohua, you scared me to death! I thought you'd forgotten me too! If you dared to forget me, I... I'd break off all ties with you for three years! No, three months!"

Shu Hua hugged Chi Yuchu tightly, her voice choked with emotion: "How could I forget you? You're my best wingman. I could forget anyone but you."

These words made Chi Yuchu laugh through her tears. She released her grip and wiped her face haphazardly. "At least you have a conscience! But if your Pei Yanzhou heard this, his heart would probably break. His own wife, and she still forgets about him..."

Shu Hua looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "Chu Chu, are he and I really husband and wife? How is our relationship?"

She felt a little uneasy when she asked this question.

She always felt that Pei Yanzhou... had too strong an aura and didn't seem very approachable.

"I bet you've locked the marriage certificate in your pink safe, don't you think?" Chi Yuchu wiped away her tears and looked at her seriously. "But what about your relationship?" She paused, deliberately keeping her in suspense.

Shu Hua's heart sank: "Very...bad?"

"Oh no?" Chi Yuchu laughed. "It's as good as it gets, like superglue, you want to be stuck together 24/7. Every time I ask you out to dinner, nine out of ten sentences you can't stop talking about your Pei Yanzhou. I'm so tired of hearing it, it's just too cheesy."

Shu Hua's eyes widened: "Really?"

The other person still seemed so serious and unapproachable. She couldn't imagine herself becoming that clingy, cuddly little woman; it was completely different from the calm, composed, even somewhat aloof self she remembered.

"I'm telling the truth," Chi Yuchu shrugged, "and I've been restraining it. You have no idea, when you two are together, the pink bubble is just too much to bear."

Shu Hua's cheeks flushed slightly, but her curiosity was completely piqued: "And him? Is he... good to me too?"

"You mean your husband?" Chi Yuchu raised an eyebrow. "Your husband's treatment of you goes beyond just 'good.' In this industry, who doesn't know your husband is unapproachable? When you two got married, I was worried for you. And what happened?" She leaned closer. "Turns out all his favoritism is reserved for you."

"During the days you were unconscious, your partner stayed by your side almost every minute. Even though he's an atheist, he went to Yunqi Temple in Jiangcheng to pray for you. And Yunqi Temple really is quite effective; you woke up the very next day after we went there."

Chi Yuchu pointed to the peace charm Shu Hua was wearing on his chest: "Look, you're still wearing the peace charm you prayed for. I heard he knelt in the temple for a long time when he prayed for it."

Shu Hua looked down at the warm, smooth jade pendant. She had noticed she was wearing it when she woke up and assumed it was a gift from her mother.

So it turns out... it was him who asked for it.

"Moreover," Chi Yuchu leaned closer and lowered her voice, "the night you were being treated, Pei Yanzhou even...cried."

Shu Hua suddenly looked up: "He...cried?"

"Hmm." Chi Yuchu nodded. "Assistant Chen said he's been with Pei Yanzhou for so many years and has never seen him act like that before. Huahua, I know you don't remember him now and might be a little afraid of him or feel insecure, but that's not your fault. But please don't reject him, okay? He truly values ​​you more than his own life, and he really loves you."

Shu Hua fell silent.

She touched the amulet around her neck, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

That seemingly strong and cold man would cry for her, would pray to gods and Buddhas for her...

But why is it that, even though they love each other so much, she has completely forgotten everything about him?

She began to wonder about her past with Pei Yanzhou. He remembered everything between them, but she had forgotten. Just now, she had even felt he was dangerous and subconsciously avoided him.

Isn't this too unfair to him?

He must be... very sad, right?

Chi Yuchu chatted with her for a while longer, then left when she saw that she was tired.

Shu Hua lay alone on the hospital bed, touching the amulet around her neck, thinking about what Chi Yu Chu had said.

Just as she was lost in thought, Pei Yanzhou walked in.

"Hua'er," he walked to the bedside and saw her brows furrowed slightly, his heart tightening. "What's wrong? Do you have a headache? I'll call the doctor."

Shu Hua snapped out of her daze and looked at him.

"It's alright," she said softly. "No need to call a doctor."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Please sit down."

Pei Yanzhou sat down on the chair beside her bed, carefully observing her complexion: "Are you really alright?"

"I'm really fine." Shu Hua looked at him and suddenly said, "But... I just wanted to sit down for a while."

Pei Yanzhou immediately got up, carefully helped her sit up, and placed a pillow behind her back.

Just as he was about to sit back down, Shu Hua suddenly reached out and gently, tentatively, wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her face against his chest.

Pei Yanzhou froze.

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to approach him since she woke up. His heart, which had felt empty for several days, suddenly felt filled at this moment.

After a few seconds, he carefully hugged her back. His arms tightened, and he truly felt her presence.

"Pei Yanzhou..." came her muffled voice from her arms.

"I'm here," he said, his voice a little hoarse. "What's wrong?"

Shu Hua leaned on his shoulder, inhaling his faint fragrance. This scent... seemed somewhat familiar.

"I'm sorry..."

Pei Yanzhou was taken aback, relaxed slightly, and looked down at her: "Why are you apologizing?"

Shu Hua buried her face even deeper, wrapping her arms around him tightly. "Because... you remember everything about us, but I selfishly forgot you." As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears. "You must be very sad, right? I'm sorry... I might not be able to be as close to you as before, I might not be able to do things as well as before. I didn't mean to reject you; everything is so unfamiliar to me now, and I can't control myself..."

She sniffed, looked up at him with red eyes, and said, "So, please don't be angry with me, and please give me some time to slowly remember you, okay? I will try my best."
