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

Shu Hua didn't even look up, thinking to herself, "Isn't it obvious? It's flower arranging."

But he still playfully said, "It's an exclusive performance of the 'Beautiful Flower Arrangement Show,' and Mr. Pei was fortunate enough to witness it."

As she spoke, she looked up and winked at him.

Pei Yanzhou was standing, while she was sitting. From this angle, he could clearly see the expanse of fair skin and the subtle curves beneath her slightly open neckline. His eyes darkened for a moment, but he said nothing.

"Have you finished your work?" Shu Hua asked as she trimmed the excess leaves.

"Not yet." Pei Yanzhou rubbed his temples. "Do you have a spare USB drive? Mine is full."

"USB drive?" Shu Hua stopped what she was doing, thought for a moment, "I think I have a new one... Wait a minute, I'll go look for it."

She put down the scissors, got up, and walked towards the dressing room.

Pei Yanzhou's gaze followed her back. Her exposed lower back was so slender that it seemed as if it would break at any moment, and the ruffled hem swayed gently with her movements.

Soon, Shu Hua came out with a pink cartoon-shaped USB drive and handed it to him: "Here, this one hasn't been used."

Pei Yanzhou took the USB drive, which was completely out of character for him, and raised an eyebrow: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Shu Hua's mind had already returned to her flowers. She sat back down on the carpet and continued to arrange the roses.

Pei Yanzhou glanced at her for a few seconds, then got up and went back to his study.

Less than a minute after the study door closed, Shu Hua suddenly stopped moving and froze.

and many more……

That pink USB drive...

It's the one Chi Yuchu gave her last time! The one that said it contained "teaching materials" and "exclusive, rare short videos"!

When she got it back, she wondered where to hide it, and finally just stuffed it into the drawer where she kept her watch, and then completely forgot about it!

"It's all over, it's all over, it's all over..." Shu Hua's face changed instantly, and the rose in her hand fell onto the carpet.

Pei Yanzhou absolutely must not see this!

Shu Hua didn't even bother to put on slippers; she rushed barefoot out of the bedroom and headed straight for the study.

"Pei Yanzhou! Wait!" She pushed open the study door, panting.

Pei Yanzhou had just sat down at his desk, holding the pink USB drive and about to plug it into the computer, when she suddenly paused, startled by her actions. His gaze shifted downwards, noticing her bare feet on the cold floor, and his brows immediately furrowed: "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"

Shu Hua didn't care about her shoes anymore. She rushed over and reached out to snatch the USB drive from his hand: "This USB drive is broken! It won't work!"

Pei Yanzhou raised his hand, easily avoiding hers, and looked at her suspiciously: "Bad?"

"Yes! It's broken! I just remembered!" Shu Hua stamped her feet anxiously. "Give it to me right now, I'll buy you a new one tomorrow!"

Looking at her obviously flustered eyes and flushed cheeks, and recalling the cute design of the USB drive and her earlier nervousness, Pei Yanzhou roughly guessed what was going on.

Instead of giving it to her, he held the USB drive up even higher, teasing her deliberately: "How naughty is it? Why don't you try plugging it in and see?"

"No way!" Shu Hua objected without hesitation, jumping up and down to reach for it. "You can't try it! It's broken anyway! Give it back to me!"

At 168cm, she wasn't short for a girl, but next to Pei Yanzhou, who was 188cm, she still looked petite. What's more, he was clearly doing it on purpose; he raised his arm even higher, and she couldn't reach it even on tiptoe.

"Pei Yanzhou!" Shu Hua exclaimed, both anxious and angry, calling him by his full name, "Give it to me!"

"No." Pei Yanzhou found it amusing to watch her frantically pacing around like a cat with its fur standing on end. "Tell me what's inside, and I'll give it to you."

"There's nothing there!" Shu Hua stubbornly insisted, continuing to jump and reach for it.

After failing to reach it several times, Shu Hua suddenly stopped moving.

She stood there, her eyes visibly reddening, her nose turning red as well. She stared at Pei Yanzhou, her lips trembling slightly, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.

She had rushed over in such a hurry that a few strands of her tied-up long hair had fallen down, making her look terribly pitiful.

"Pei Yanzhou..." Her voice was trembling with tears, soft and delicate, "You bullied me..."

Pei Yanzhou was stunned.

He didn't expect her to cry.

The USB drive in my hand suddenly felt like a hot potato. My earlier playful intentions vanished instantly, replaced by panic and heartache.

"You cried?" He lowered his hand, leaned closer to her, and softened his tone. "You really cried?"

Shu Hua turned her face away from him, but tears were already streaming down her face. She didn't make a sound, just silently wept, her shoulders trembling.

Pei Yanzhou was utterly inept at comforting a crying woman. He awkwardly reached out, trying to wipe her tears: "Don't cry... I won't tease you anymore. Here, take it, okay?"

He handed the USB drive to her.

Shu Hua didn't even look at her, gave a loud snort with a heavy nasal tone, and turned to leave.

"Shu Hua," Pei Yanzhou called to her.

She ignored them, walked barefoot quickly out of the study, her back view filled with stubbornness and grievance.

Pei Yanzhou looked at the pink USB drive in his hand, then at the direction she left in, and for the first time, he experienced what it meant to be "frustrated." He touched the tip of his nose, hesitated for two seconds, and then took long strides to follow her.

In the bedroom, Shu Hua had already sat back on the carpet, her back to the door, continuing to fiddle with the flower branches, but her movements were clearly tinged with anger.

Pei Yanzhou walked over and squatted down beside her: "The ground is cold, don't sit, get up and do it."

Shu Hua ignored him and threw the pruned leaves into the trash can with a bit too much force.

Pei Yanzhou looked at her reddened eyes and nose, and his guilt deepened. He reached out, placed his hands under her armpits, and with a little effort, lifted her up in his arms.

"Ah!" Shu Hua exclaimed in surprise. Before she could react, he had already picked her up and put her on the soft sofa next to him, and placed her on his lap.

"Pei Yanzhou, let me go!" Shu Hua struggled.

Pei Yanzhou didn't let go. He wrapped one arm around her waist and gently tucked her stray hair behind her ear with the other, his voice lowering, "Are you really angry?"

Shu Hua turned her face away and remained silent.

Pei Yanzhou sighed, took out the pink USB drive, and placed it in her hand: "Here you go. I'm not teasing you anymore."

The cool touch of the USB drive in her palm made Shu Hua's tense body relax slightly.

With the USB drive in hand, a huge weight was finally lifted from her shoulders.

But she still kept a straight face, turned her head, and glared at him with her wet eyes. Her voice still carried a hint of grievance and a touch of petulance: "Pei Yanzhou, you just made me angry. You have to apologize to me."

Pei Yanzhou raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Looking at her red eyes and pouting lips, he found himself completely speechless.

"I'm sorry." He looked at her, his tone serious. "It was my fault; I shouldn't have teased you."

Shu Hua was taken aback by his straightforward apology. She paused for a moment, then couldn't help but smile slightly before quickly suppressing it. She feigned magnanimity and snorted, "Fine, I'll let it go since you were sincere. Don't do it again next time."

Shu Xiaohua is quite adept at recognizing the opportune moment.

"So easy to coax?" Pei Yanzhou chuckled, gently brushing the tip of her nose with his finger.

"I'm not easily appeased," Shu Hua corrected, raising her chin as if to say, "I'm very magnanimous. It's just that I have a good temper and am a generous person who won't hold a grudge against you."

Pei Yanzhou chuckled softly, his chest heaving slightly. He tightened his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him: "Yes, Mrs. Pei is magnanimous; I am ashamed to admit my inferiority."

Shu Hua felt a little embarrassed by his praise and nudged him, saying, "Have you finished your work? Hurry up and go."

"Trying to kick me out?" Pei Yanzhou raised an eyebrow.

"I was afraid of delaying President Pei's busy schedule." Shu Hua held the USB drive tightly in her hand.

That was close... I almost suffered social death.

She decided to find an opportunity to completely destroy it tomorrow.
