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

Dinner was at a well-known private restaurant in Jiangcheng. Ji Tingchen was obviously very familiar with the owner and immediately asked for a quiet private room.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was pleasant. Ji Tingchen was thoughtful and considerate, not saying much but always taking care of everyone's needs, especially Wen Jiani. Shu Hua looked at him; he and Pei Yanzhou were completely different types, one gentle and refined, the other cold and deep, but when it came to their loved ones, their focus and tenderness were exactly the same.

After dinner, Wen Jiani had to go back to the film set to shoot a night scene. Shu Hua and Chi Yuchu were also a bit tired after running around all day, so they went back to the hotel arranged by Ji Tingchen to rest.

Ji Tingchen arranged a hotel for them near the film studio; it was the best garden-style five-star hotel in Jiangcheng. Jenny and Anna stayed in the next room to ensure Shu Hua's safety at all times.

Back in her room, Shu Hua took a shower. Just as Chi Yu Chu went in to soak in the bath, her phone rang.

It was Pei Yanzhou calling.

Shu Hua answered the call.

"Back at the hotel?" he asked.

"I'm back," Shu Hua said, leaning her phone against the bedside table and the headboard. "I've already taken a shower and am lying in bed."

"Would you dare to sleep alone?"

"I'm not sleeping alone; Yu Chu is keeping me company," Shu Hua said, then asked, "Are you still working overtime at the company?"

"No, I'm at home," Pei Yanzhou said.

"Why aren't you asleep yet, it's so late?" Shu Hua glanced at the time; it was almost eleven o'clock. "I won't be here tonight, so you can get a good night's sleep. Otherwise, I'll always wake you up at night."

The man on the other side of the screen sighed softly, looking at her with deep eyes, his tone filled with undisguised dependence and a hint of... grievance.

"How can I sleep when my wife isn't here?" He paused, his voice lowering. "I miss you."

These words were so direct and frank that Shu Hua's heart skipped a beat.

This is all true.

The bed was filled with Shu Hua's sweet, fragrant scent. He could smell it as soon as he lay down. Every night he would sleep in her arms, but now that his wife was gone, the whole house felt empty.

He continued, "And the bed smells like you... I get a reaction just from smelling it."

"You, you!" Shu Hua was so embarrassed she almost threw her phone away. How could this person say everything!

"To tell you the truth." He spoke matter-of-factly, but his eyes were fixed on her, filled with a certain longing. "So, Mrs. Pei, how do you plan to make it up to me?"

"I...I'm going back the day after tomorrow. Please, please hang in there." Shu Hua stammered.

"I can't keep it up," Pei Yanzhou said matter-of-factly. "I can't sleep without my wife to hug me."

Shu Hua was exasperated by his childishness: "Then what should we do?"

"If I could see Mrs. Pei's photo," Pei Yanzhou said slowly, "it might help me sleep."

Shu Hua thought, "That's easy!"

She, Shu Xiaohua, may not have many other paintings, but she has plenty of beautiful photos, especially the masterpieces of her professional photographer best friend, Chi Yuchu.

"Wait a minute!"

She immediately switched off the call, carefully selected from her photo album, and sent over a dozen of the photos that she thought were the most beautiful and elegant.

"Did you get it?" She switched back to the call, a little smugly asking, "Is that enough? If not, I have more!"

Pei Yanzhou looked at his phone, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "Received it. But..."

"But what?"

"Mrs. Pei, what I want," he said in a low, coaxing voice, "is not this kind of photo."

"Huh?" Shu Hua was stunned. "Which one is it?"

Pei Yanzhou parted his thin lips slightly and slowly and clearly uttered a few words in a deep, sexy, seductive, and slightly wicked tone.

"..."

Shu Hua's face instantly turned bright red.

"Pei... Pei Yanzhou!" She glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed. "What... what are you talking about?!"

How could this man say something like that!

"I'm telling the truth," Pei Yanzhou said frankly. "Those photos do help with sleep, but I might need to solve some other problems. If you're willing to send the kind I just mentioned... it might be even more effective."

The ensuing conversation turned into a video call, becoming even more intimate and lingering, carrying the electric current transmitted across the distance and an unreachable longing.

Shu Hua felt like she was making a late-night erotic phone call. She had somehow managed to agree to the man's unreasonable demands without even realizing it.

White Rabbit milk candy is fragrant and sweet, and peaches are fresh, sweet, and juicy...

Chi Yuchu came out, drying her hair, and saw that Shu Hua's face was extremely red. She asked in confusion, "Baby, why is your face so red? Are you okay?"

"N-nothing." Shu Hua was startled.

Chi Yuchu walked to the bedside and looked at her: "Are you really alright? Your face is so red, do you have a fever?"

"Really, it's nothing..." Shu Hua guiltily turned her face away, "It's probably just too hot... This air conditioner doesn't feel cool at all..."

Chi Yuchu glanced at the air conditioner panel—22 degrees Celsius.

"Really?" She looked skeptical, but still went over and turned the temperature down two degrees. "Lowering it a few degrees might be better."

Meanwhile, Pei Yanzhou, watching the video call suddenly disconnect, chuckled helplessly.

He had only hoped to alleviate the pain of unrequited love, but... Shu Hua's blushing and shy appearance was even more impactful through the screen, completely igniting the flames he had been trying to suppress.

He took a deep breath, resignedly got up, walked to the bathroom, and turned on the cold water.

The icy water washed over his burning body, but it couldn't wash away the alluring image of her coquettish face and the suggestive thoughts evoked by that incredibly seductive scene. He took a full ten minutes in the cold water before he could barely suppress the burning desire.

……

The next day, as planned, Shu Hua and her group went to Yunqi Temple.

Shu Hua came here specifically to fulfill a vow. She remembered Chi Yu Chu's words: it was only after Pei Yan Zhou came here to sincerely pray for her that she woke up. Although her memory had not yet returned, she was grateful for this kindness and the blessing from the unseen world.

Chi Yu-Chu came hoping to attract some romance and wanted to absorb the spiritual energy of Yunqi Temple. Despite being exhausted from filming until 2 AM the previous night, Wen Jian-Ni insisted on coming along, saying it was a rare opportunity for the sisters to get together. Ji Ting-Chen, worried about his girlfriend, naturally acted as her driver and protector.

Yunqi Temple is located on the outskirts of Jiangcheng, surrounded by misty mountains and solemn ancient temples. Although they arrived at around 8 o'clock, the parking lot in front of the temple was already full of cars, and worshippers came in an endless stream, which shows that the temple is very popular.

As soon as everyone got out of the car, Ji Tingchen raised his hand and gestured, "Wait a moment, there's still one friend who hasn't arrived yet."

Wen Jianian was somewhat surprised: "You have friends coming too?"

"Hmm." Ji Tingchen glanced at the time. "We should be there soon."

As soon as they finished speaking, a familiar black Maybach slowly drove up and stopped beside them.
