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

Pei Yanzhou stopped teasing her and gently ruffled her hair.

Shu Hua's phone rang.

She was about to get up to get it when Pei Yanzhou acted first. "Sit down." He pressed her shoulder, walked to the other end, and picked up her phone from the table.

As he handed it over, he casually unfolded the cashmere shawl that was draped beside him and put it over her shoulders, which were covered only by her sundress.

Shu Hua took the phone, and a video call request from "Mom" popped up on the screen. Her heart warmed, and she glanced at Pei Yanzhou. He hadn't left; instead, he turned around to gather the pruned flower branches and tools on the carpet.

She swiped to answer the call, and a sweet, soft smile immediately bloomed on her face.

"Hello, Mom~"

On the screen appeared a well-maintained, gentle, and beautiful face—Shu's mother, Lin Wanqing. Her eyebrows and eyes bore a seven-tenths resemblance to Shu Hua's. She was the kind of non-threatening, understated beauty, but with an added air of composure honed by the passage of time.

"Oh, baby," Lin Wanqing said with a gentle smile, "Have you had dinner?"

"Have you eaten? Where are you and Dad? Did you just go out?" Shu Hua noticed that the background behind her mother was the azure sea and the railings of a yacht.

"Yes, we just left, enjoying the sea breeze. Your dad and Yanzhou's dad are fishing on the deck, but your Pei mom and I felt it was too sunny, so we came in," Lin Wanqing said, turning the camera to her side.

Another strikingly beautiful face came into view. Pei Yanzhou's mother, Zhou Mingwei, shared a strikingly beautiful face with Pei Yanzhou, characterized by her bold and striking features, bright and captivating, with deep and defined facial features.

At this moment, his gaze toward Shu Hua was full of affection, showing no trace of the passage of time.

"Aunt Pei!" Shu Hua called out sweetly immediately.

After their wedding, both sets of parents felt that organizing such an important event was too tiring, so they went on vacation together as soon as it was over, ostensibly to "treat themselves."

"Sigh, drawing," Zhou Mingwei replied with a smile, carefully examining the screen. "Our drawings are getting better and better! Look at that complexion, so rosy!"

"How are things between you and Yanzhou lately? Has that kid been bullying you? If he has, tell Mom, and I'll deal with him when I get back to China!"

Shu Hua subconsciously looked up and glanced at Pei Yanzhou, who was placing the vase of roses he had just arranged on the side table. He was exceptionally focused when he did these things, and there was a sense of domesticity about him that was inconsistent with his usual aloof demeanor.

The corners of her lips unconsciously turned up: "He didn't bully me, he... he's very good to me." When she said this, the natural expression, full of shyness and sweetness, was something she couldn't fake.

Having been through similar experiences, Pei's mother understood immediately and smiled even more broadly: "That's good, that's good! As long as you two are doing well, we old folks can enjoy our time together without worry."

Although she personally chose her daughter-in-law, there was no reason for her not to like her. However, as a mother, she still knew very well what type of girl her son liked.

The son is exactly like his father, a quiet and reserved type!

"Oh, by the way, Mom has her eye on a small island in the South Pacific. The environment is absolutely beautiful. We'll go and complete the formalities in a couple of days and buy it for you as a honeymoon gift. You can go there to escape the summer heat in the future."

Shu Hua was startled and quickly waved her hand, "Mom, there's no need to spend so much money..."

She owned nine islands as premarital property.

"No need to spend money, just make your mother happy." Mrs. Pei waved her hand dismissively, clearly curious. "It's settled then!"

We chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.

Shu Hua put down her phone, feeling secretly pleased. Looking up, she saw Pei Yanzhou, who had somehow gotten ready, leaning against the door with his arms crossed, watching her.

"Finished talking?" he asked.

"Hmm." Shu Hua nodded, still feeling it was a bit of an exaggeration when she thought about the island. "Aunt Pei said she wanted to buy an island for us..."

"If you like it, keep it." Pei Yanzhou walked over and casually ruffled her hair. "She'll be happy." He glanced at the time. "I still have some emails to reply to. You should get some rest."

"it is good."

Friday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Shu Hua works in the design department, where the internship period is from 10 am to 5 pm, with no mandatory overtime. As soon as it was 5 pm, she neatly shut down her computer.

Your phone vibrated. Pei Yanzhou had sent a message: "There's a final negotiation for a cross-border merger tonight, it might be very late. Head home early when it's over, otherwise just stay at the company. Have Uncle Wang take you home first, don't wait for me."

Shu Hua replied: "Okay, don't overwork yourself, remember to eat."

After working for several days in a row, although the intensity wasn't high, the regular schedule still left her feeling a bit tired. She planned to go home, take a nice bath, watch a movie, and then sleep soundly for the rest of the day.

When Shu Hua got home, Aunt Chen had already prepared dinner. She ate a little and then went upstairs for a rose essential oil bath that Aunt Chen had prepared for her. After drying her hair and changing into comfortable loungewear, she was about to go to the media room to choose a movie when Chi Yu Chu called.

As soon as the call connected, deafening music and Chi Yuchu's tearful voice came through: "Huahua... Waaah... Huahua, I broke up with you!"

"That bastard! He cheated on me behind my back! Damn him! I was so good to him... Waaaaah..."

Shu Hua's heart immediately clenched: "Yu Chu? Where are you now? Why are you making so much noise?"

"A bar! Happy breakup! Waaah... to hell with love!" Chi Yuchu shouted loudly, "There are the most handsome guys here! Who can't live without whom? This grandma... I'll order ten male models to drink with me!"

As she spoke, she let out a hiccup: "Painting... I'm so sad, can you come and keep me company? I miss you so much..."

As she spoke, she broke down in tears again.

Shu Hua felt both heartache and anxiety. Chi Yu Chu had a fiery temper but was naive when it came to relationships. This time, she was truly heartbroken and had drunk so much. It was too dangerous for her to be alone in a bar.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. Tell me the exact address, I'll be right there. Wait for me, don't wander off, and don't drink anymore, understand?" Shu Hua comforted her as she quickly walked towards the dressing room.

The address I got was "Cloud Top," a famous luxury members-only bar in the city.

Shu Hua didn't have time to think too much. She quickly changed into some comfortable clothes and went downstairs. She asked the driver to take her there, worrying about Chi Yu Chu the whole way.

Upon arriving at "Cloud Peak," Shu Hua paused for a moment. Having been well-protected since childhood, she had never set foot in such a place of entertainment before, and felt a little apprehensive.

Following the box number 207 given by Chi Yuchu, she walked through the dimly lit, deafeningly loud lobby on the first floor. The dance floor was packed with men and women dancing wildly to the rhythm, and the air was filled with a mixture of alcohol, perfume, and various hormones.

The appearance of Shu Hua is like a piece of lustrous and clean jade among a pile of exquisite porcelain.
