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

She stretched out her fair and slender hand, her fingertips adorned with beautiful nude pink cat-eye nail polish.

Aunt Chen went home after cooking, and took a day off tomorrow because of family matters. Although there is a dishwasher at home, she still has to touch those greasy dishes and utensils, which she can't accept mentally, and her hands can't accept even more.

Her hands, like her hair, require millions to maintain every year, so asking her to wash dishes is absolutely out of the question. In fact, she has never washed dishes since birth.

Pei Yanzhou looked at her "I'm weak and helpless but I'm totally in the right" attitude and found her spoiled and scheming behavior quite amusing. However, his expression remained unchanged, and he simply nodded slightly: "Mm."

Shu Hua's voice immediately became incredibly sweet: "Thank you, honey! You're the best!"

After saying that, as if afraid he would change his mind, she turned around and ran upstairs.

……

At night, only a dim, warm nightlight was on in the master bedroom, a habit Shu Hua had maintained for many years. Pei Yanzhou simply went along with it.

Shu Hua was fast asleep in Pei Yanzhou's arms, but she felt thirsty in the middle of the night, perhaps because she hadn't drunk enough soup that night.

She murmured unconsciously in her sleep, snuggling closer to the man's warm embrace, and mumbled sleepily, her voice heavy with sleepiness and a coquettish nasal tone: "Pei Yanzhou..."

Pei Yanzhou was a light sleeper and woke up immediately. He instinctively tightened his arms around her and responded in a low, hoarse voice, "Hmm?"

"I want to drink water... I'm so thirsty..." she complained softly with her eyes closed, her fingers unconsciously clutching the fabric of his pajamas at his chest.

Pei Yanzhou didn't say anything, but simply threw back the covers and got up: "Wait."

He went downstairs and poured himself a glass of warm water. When he lived alone, he never kept water in his bedroom, but perhaps... he'd have to get a water dispenser in the future.

When I returned with the water glass, Shu Hua had already sat up groggily. Her hair was a little messy from sleeping, with a few strands sticking to her smooth forehead. Her eyes were still sleepy and confused, and she looked all fuzzy.

Pei Yanzhou walked over and handed her the water glass.

Shu Hua took it and asked softly, "Is it warm?"

"Um."

Only then did she feel relieved enough to bring it to her lips and gulp it down several times, finally relieving the dryness in her throat.

After she had drunk her fill, she handed the cup back to Pei Yanzhou, mumbled a "thank you," and then her body went limp. She fell back onto the pillow, pulled the blanket over herself, and a few seconds later, her breathing became even and long again.

Pei Yanzhou stood by the bed, holding a glass of water that was still half full. He looked at the little woman who had instantly fallen asleep again, feeling both helpless and amused.

He gently shook his head and placed the water glass on his bedside table.

-

At seven o'clock the next morning, Shu Hua's biological clock had not yet fully adjusted to waking up early, but thinking that she was now a working person, she forced herself to open her eyes.

I feel bored when I'm not working, and I find it annoying when I have a job.

She yawned as she went to the bathroom to wash up, and then prepared to go to the dressing room to change her clothes.

Pushing open the door to the walk-in closet, the scene inside instantly brought her to her senses, and all the blood rushed to her face!

Pei Yanzhou had just finished his morning exercise and taken a shower; he was getting dressed inside.

He was wearing only a pair of black silk underwear.

Her broad shoulders and back had smooth lines, her muscles were muscular but not overly exaggerated, her waist was tight, and her sexy V-line disappeared into her waistband. Below that were straight, long, and powerful legs.

This is a top-tier physique that is muscular when undressed and slim when dressed. Every muscle seems to have been meticulously sculpted, exuding masculine power and beauty, comparable to, or even surpassing, top male models.

Shu Hua's face instantly turned as red as if it could drip blood.

She abruptly looked away, so embarrassed she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet, and stammered, "Um... I'll come back later, you... you go ahead and change..."

Before Pei Yanzhou could respond, she turned around like a startled rabbit and hurriedly fled from the dressing room, almost bumping her head into the door frame in her haste.

Watching the hastily fleeing figure, a knowing smile flashed across Pei Yanzhou's eyes. He slowly picked up his shirt and put it on. His slender fingers meticulously buttoned it, then he picked up the dark blue patterned tie. Finally, he put on the platinum and diamond-encrusted cufflinks. The cool light of the diamonds reflected the distinct lines of his wrists, adding a touch of nobility and composure.

After changing his clothes, he went to the bedroom.

At this moment, Shu Hua was standing in the middle of the bedroom, frantically fanning her still burning cheeks with her palms. Her mind was uncontrollably replaying that fleeting glimpse from just moments ago—

Broad shoulders and back, a tight waistline, a smooth V-line, and then a "big bag"... the image is too clear and impactful.

That's so sexy... and so exciting...

As she fanned herself, she couldn't help but secretly curl the corners of her lips into a smile. That figure, that face… the absolute best of the best! And he's actually the man she, Shu Hua, has drawn! Haha, it's worth it! A huge win!

She was completely absorbed in her own little smugness and didn't even notice Pei Yanzhou walking in.

Just as the man's tall figure loomed over them, a deep voice sounded overhead, tinged with obvious confusion: "What are you doing?"

"Ah!" Shu Hua was startled and turned around abruptly, meeting Pei Yanzhou's probing gaze.

Her cheeks flushed even more, her eyes darting around, and she was incredibly guilty. "N-nothing," she stammered, trying to appear calm and bluff her way through the situation. Her gaze quickly swept over his fully dressed body. "You're done changing? Then...then I'll go change!"

After saying that, she tried to walk past him and slip back into the dressing room.

Pei Yanzhou stretched out his long arm and easily grabbed her wrist, pulling her back with a little force.

"Nothing?" He leaned closer, his deep gaze lingering on her flushed face, and asked slowly, "Then why are you blushing?"

Shu Hua felt exposed under his gaze and forced a desperate attempt to argue, "Is there...is there? Maybe...maybe I just wore too much blush today!" As soon as she said this, she realized it was completely unconvincing, and her voice trailed off.

Pei Yanzhou looked at her sparkling eyes and flushed ears, and let out a very soft chuckle.

Instead of letting go, he moved even closer, his voice teasing: "Mrs. Pei," he paused deliberately, pleased to see her eyelashes flutter, "we've already 'slept' together, and you're still shy?"

Shu Hua's beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened instantly, and she glared at him with a mixture of shame and anger.

How could this person say something so...so private in such a serious tone!

And "slept together"... Could you be any more tactful?

She was speechless for a moment, caught off guard. But unwilling to back down, she took a deep breath and continued to be defiant, even puffing out her delicate chin: "Who, who's shy! I'm just hot! Yes, I was a little hot when I woke up this morning!"

Seeing her looking incredibly embarrassed yet still putting on a brave face, Pei Yanzhou's smile deepened.

He stopped teasing her, went along with her words, and naturally changed the subject, releasing her wrist: "Why are you up so early today?"

As the warmth on her wrist dissipated, Shu Hua felt a sudden release of tension and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly replied, her tone lighter: "Now that I'm officially at work, I don't want to be late. You have no idea, I almost was late yesterday!"

The Royal Bay where they live is too far from the CBD, and the traffic is so bad in the morning. She left at eight o'clock and didn't get to clock in until almost nine o'clock. She had to do her makeup in a hurry on the way, so she didn't have much time at all.

As she spoke, she looked up at him with her bright eyes and said, "So, I'll go with you today, it's on my way! Is that alright?"

Pei Yanzhou nodded thoughtfully: "Mm."

Shu Hua was happy to receive permission. Only then did her gaze truly fall on his attire, noticing the familiar tie and cufflinks.

Her eyes lit up, and the shyness and embarrassment she felt just moments before were instantly replaced by a small sense of accomplishment.

She leaned closer, looked at him carefully, then smiled and sincerely praised, "Mr. Pei looks very handsome today!" Especially with the things she had picked out, he looked even more handsome.

This compliment pleased Pei Yanzhou, and the lines between his brows seemed to soften for a moment.

"Wait for me, I'll go change my clothes, I'll be quick!" Shu Hua said as she turned around, afraid that he would get impatient.

"No rush," Pei Yanzhou said from behind her, his voice steady, "There's still time."
