Shu Hua blushed from their teasing and quickly changed the subject: "Stop talking about me. What about you guys? Chi Xiaochu, Sister Jia Ni, is anything going on with you?"

When her feelings were mentioned, Chi Yuchu immediately looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her eyes darting around as she shoveled food into her mouth: "What could possibly be going on with me... I'm so busy with work every day, I don't have time to think about those things."

Ding Lun is such a blockhead, she's almost ready to give up.

She quickly changed the subject to Wen Jiani: "Yeah, Jiani, you're our goddess! You must have no shortage of suitors, right? Have you found anyone you like?"

Wen Jiani's expression also became somewhat subtle.

As she thought of that aloof and noble face, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up: "I think so."

"Should?" Chi Yuchu immediately perked up.

Wen Jiani smiled and pursed her lips: "I think he's a pretty good person, and I can also sense... he likes me. But I'm not sure."

Upon hearing this, both Shu Hua and Chi Yu Chu's eyes lit up.

"Who is the other person? Where are they from? What do they do? How old are they?" Chi Yuchu asked in rapid succession.

Shu Hua looked at her curiously as well.

Wen Jiani laughed at the question: "Why does it feel like you're checking someone's background?"

"We're just curious!" Chi Yuchu and Shu Hua said in unison.

Wen Jiani thought for a moment and said, "Well... he's from Jiangcheng. The rest is a secret for now." She kept them in suspense, then, seeing their disappointed expressions, she smiled again, "However, if you come to Jiangcheng in a couple of days, I can introduce you."

"Wow! Something's up!" Chi Yuchu exclaimed.

The three of them burst into laughter.

……

After lunch, and having some freshly baked cakes and cookies, Chi Yu-Chu and Wen Jian-Ni prepared to leave. Chi Yu-Chu had to go back to the studio for a shoot in the afternoon, and Wen Jian-Ni had a night scene to film in Jiangcheng that evening and needed to rush back.

Once the person left, the huge house instantly became quiet and suddenly felt empty.

Shu Hua nestled on the sofa, hugging Tangyuan (sweet rice balls), and suddenly felt a little lonely.

She missed Pei Yanzhou.

The thought startled her. They had only parted that morning, yet she already missed him.

She took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist sending him a message: "Are you still busy?"

The message was replied to almost instantly: "In a meeting, honey. What's up?"

Seeing the words "baby," Shu Hua's ears warmed slightly. He seemed to really like calling her that. At first, she was a little uncomfortable, thinking it was too clingy, but later she just let him be. Because when he said those two words, it really sounded so nice.

Forgive her, she's a top-tier beauty and voice enthusiast.

Shu Hua had originally wanted to chat with him for a while, but knowing he was busy, she didn't want to bother him: "It's okay, you go ahead and do your work."

She thought the conversation was over, but Pei Yanzhou replied with another message: 【Bored at home?】

Immediately afterwards, a second message popped up: "Want to come to the company? I might have to work overtime tonight."

Shu Hua's heart stirred.

She was indeed considering going. But she had some concerns: "Won't it bother you? I'm fine at home by myself."

Pei Yanzhou: [No.]

Then another message appeared: "I miss you. I want you to come and be with me."

Shu Hua looked at the message and couldn't help but smile.

He's always like that; he always knows what she's thinking and then gives her the perfect opportunity to back her up.

She replied: 【Okay.】

After a quick tidy-up, I changed into a creamy yellow Chanel-style sleeveless midi vest with 3D embroidered bow and a beige pleated layered long skirt, looking both gentle and radiant.

Jenny and Anna were already waiting by the car. When they saw her, they nodded slightly and said, "Madam, please get in the car."

"Thank you." Shu Hua nodded and sat in the back seat.

The car drove directly into the Pei Group's underground parking lot. Chen Yifei was already waiting there. Seeing Shu Hua get out of the car, he immediately came forward, his attitude respectful: "Madam, President Pei's meeting hasn't ended yet. Let me accompany you upstairs first."

"it is good."

Shu Hua followed him into the private elevator, which took her straight to the top floor.

This was her first time in Pei Yanzhou's office since she lost her memory. Pushing open the door, she was greeted by a spacious and bright room—large floor-to-ceiling windows, a simple and modern decor, and a clean and tidy office area.

In short: wide, large, and bright.

But she always felt... as if she had been here before.

That sense of familiarity returned. Just like seeing certain things at home and feeling a sense of déjà vu, this office also felt strangely familiar to her.

"Madam, please sit and rest for a bit. Mr. Pei will be finished in about ten minutes," Chen Yifei said. "Would you like something to drink?"

Shu Hua shook her head: "No need, thank you."

She handed Chen Yifei the small cakes and cookies she had brought: "Here are some small cakes and cookies I made today, they're very delicious. If you don't mind, feel free to share them with your colleagues."

Chen Yifei was flattered: "Thank you, Madam. Please call me again if you need anything."

After Chen Yifei left, Shu Hua began to properly observe the office.

She walked toward the oversized desk and the expensive, ergonomically designed black leather chair behind it.

I couldn't help but think to myself: The desk is so big, and the chair is so comfortable. Capitalists really know how to enjoy life.

I imagined Pei Yanzhou sitting here, wearing a suit, handling his work with a cold expression... He must look quite serious.

She spun the chair around again.

When he turned around, he saw Pei Yanzhou standing at the door.

He had returned sometime earlier and was leaning against the doorframe, looking at her with a half-smile. He had clearly seen her playing in his chair earlier.

Shu Hua felt instantly embarrassed, as if she had been caught doing something wrong, and her cheeks flushed. She tried to stand up from the chair in a flustered manner, but her movements were a little clumsy due to her panic.

"Sit down." Pei Yanzhou walked in, placed the documents in his hand on the table, and looked at her.

Shu Hua felt even more embarrassed, but still stood up: "I... I thought you wouldn't be able to finish so quickly."

Pei Yanzhou didn't speak. His slender fingers unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt collar, revealing a small glimpse of his collarbone and Adam's apple. This casual gesture carried an indescribable sexiness and tension.

Then he walked around to her side and put his arm around her waist—

Shu Hua gasped softly, not quite reacting, before falling into a firm, warm embrace. Pei Yanzhou sat down in a chair and pulled her onto his lap.

The entire movement was fluid and graceful.

This position is too tight.

Shu Hua was stiff all over, not daring to move. She sat sideways on his lap, her back half against his strong chest and arms, her buttocks resting on his muscular thighs. Through the thin fabric, she could clearly feel each other's body temperature.

She didn't dare move, nor was she comfortable looking at him. She could only lower her head and whisper, "What...what are you doing?"

Pei Yanzhou rested his chin gently on her shoulder, his voice low and husky: "How are you today? Still feeling dizzy?"

Shu Hua swallowed nervously and shook her head slightly: "No... I'm not dizzy anymore."

"Hmm." He seemed satisfied. His thumb, which had been stroking her chin, continued to move closer to her lips, his voice lower and more seductive. "Then...did you miss me?"

Before she could answer, he leaned close to her flushed earlobe and said:

I miss you so much, baby.
