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

Over in the kitchen.

After finishing cooking, Pei Yanzhou, worried about smelling of cooking oil on his clothes, first took a shower in the bathroom outside and changed into clean pajamas before returning to his room to call Shu Hua.

Pushing open the door, a familiar, sweet fragrance wafted out. The person on the bed lay quietly, breathing evenly.

Pei Yanzhou walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Shu Hua is a very good sleeper and stays in one position all night, remaining exceptionally well-behaved. At this moment, she is lying on her side with one hand beside her head, her thick, long eyelashes tightly closed, casting a small shadow under her eyelids, making her look particularly adorable.

Pei Yanzhou reached out his hand and gently tapped her outstretched palm with his fingertips.

Shu Hua felt itchy and moved her hand, but didn't wake up.

Pei Yanzhou's lips unconsciously curved upwards. He leaned over, touched her cheek, and said softly, "Baby, it's time to eat."

Shu Hua wrinkled her nose in her sleep, her long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was still a little blurry, but she could clearly see Pei Yanzhou's impeccable face right in front of her.

The visual impact is too strong!

Wait... what did he just call her?

Baby?

Seeing that she was awake and her eyes were still a little adorable, Pei Yanzhou gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead and asked, "Did you sleep well? Are you hungry? Do you want to get up and eat?"

Shu Hua stared at his face in a daze—this face was so handsome, with deep-set brow bones, a high nose bridge, and beautifully shaped thin lips, especially his eyes, which were so deep they seemed to draw people in.

She immediately started to have the wrong idea.

But when she saw the obvious bluish tinge under Pei Yanzhou's eyes, a sudden pang of heartache welled up inside her.

He had been taking care of her at the hospital all this time, barely getting any sleep. As soon as he got home, he didn't rest; instead, he cooked for her first…

He was clearly already very tired.

She shifted back to make room next to her, then reached out and gently took Pei Yanzhou's wrist: "I'm not hungry right now, just really sleepy. Do you want to take a nap too?"

This invitation surprised Pei Yanzhou.

During his time in the hospital, he could sense that Shu Hua was still somewhat wary of him. To avoid burdening her, he slept on the hospital sofa. He never expected that after returning home, she would take the initiative to be affectionate towards him.

"Do you want me to sleep with you?" he asked in a low voice.

Shu Hua was a little embarrassed, but still nodded, with a hint of self-righteousness in her voice: "We...aren't we husband and wife? Husbands and wives sleeping together isn't a problem, is it? Is it not allowed?"

She didn't dare look him in the eye when she said this.

Pei Yanzhou felt both itchy and numb.

"Okay," he said, squeezing her hand in return, "but you have to eat and take your medicine first."

"It's okay to eat a little later." Shu Hua frowned, as if she were being a bit unreasonable, and shook his hand. "Just a little longer, just a little while, okay?"

She really wanted him to rest.

Pei Yanzhou could easily see through her little scheme.

Looking into her expectant eyes, he finally nodded: "Okay, I'll sleep with you for a while."

After saying that, he naturally lifted the other side of the blanket and lay down. His cool, refreshing scent instantly enveloped Shu Hua.

Shu Hua's body froze instantly.

She had invited him on impulse and out of pity, but now that he was actually lying next to her, she belatedly realized that they were too close.

She seems to have overestimated her composure.

Lying next to her is a super handsome guy overflowing with hormones, who is also her legal husband?! Her heart started pounding uncontrollably again.

Pei Yanzhou was afraid she would be scared, so he didn't hug her. The two lay flat on their backs with a little distance between them.

The room was quiet, with only the soft breathing of the two people and the increasingly undeniable, ambiguous, and tense atmosphere.

Shu Hua stared at the ceiling, feeling that time was passing exceptionally slowly. The presence of the man beside her was just too strong.

"Pei Yanzhou..." she couldn't help but speak, breaking the silence.

"Hmm?" Pei Yanzhou immediately turned his head to look at her. "What's wrong?"

"Before..." Shu Hua paused, "did we sleep like this too?"

"No," Pei Yanzhou said honestly.

"What is it?"

She had barely finished speaking when she felt the man beside her suddenly move.

A strong arm reached out and precisely wrapped around her waist. Before she could react, with a slight pull, he drew her into his embrace.

Shu Hua was startled, placed her hand on his chest, and looked at him nervously: "W-what are you doing?"

Pei Yanzhou lowered his eyes, looking at the woman in his arms with wide eyes, like a frightened fawn, but tightened his arms around her, making her soft body fit completely against him.

"I'm demonstrating for you," he whispered, his breath brushing against her hair.

"Demonstration?" Shu Hua's mind was a little confused.

"Mmm." Pei Yanzhou gently rubbed his chin against the top of her head. "We used to sleep like this. So, we'll sleep like this from now on."

Shu Hua was held in his arms, enveloped by his scent. Her face was pressed against his chest, and she could hear his steady, strong heartbeat.

She muttered softly, "Isn't this too tight?"

"Won't."

"But..." Shu Hua struggled slightly, her voice muffled, "I feel like I can't breathe like this."

That was partly true and partly false. Her heart was pounding, the air was hot, and his breath was intense, which did indeed give her a dizzying feeling of oxygen deprivation.

Pei Yanzhou chuckled, lifted her chin, and made her look up at him.

The two locked eyes.

Pei Yanzhou looked at her slightly parted lips, which shone with a natural, moist sheen, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

"Then," he said slowly, his voice deep and sexy, "do some artificial respiration."

What?

Before Shu Hua could understand the meaning behind his words, a shadow fell over her.

A warm, soft touch landed on her lips without warning.

Shu Hua's eyes widened instantly.

He was...kissing her?

What shocked her even more was that the moment his lips touched hers, she instinctively went to meet his kiss, without feeling any aversion or rejection.

The kiss was gentle, just lips touching lips, without any deeper intimacy. Pei Yanzhou seemed to be testing her, confirming her acceptance.

Shu Hua closed her eyes and responded slowly.

Pei Yanzhou sensed her response, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He stepped back slightly, his voice low and husky: "Open your mouth, baby."

Shu Hua was so overwhelmed by the kisses that she felt dizzy.

Such a large scale?

Seeing that she didn't react, but just stared at him with her big, wet, and helpless eyes, Pei Yanzhou chuckled softly.

He raised his other hand, gently touching her lips with his index finger, his eyes seemingly capable of bewitching, his voice incredibly sexy: "Open up here, baby."
