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

Yunyi chimed in with a smile, "Exactly! Third Sister-in-law is as beautiful as an angel, how could Third Brother not treat her well? She's his wife, who else would he treat well if not his wife?"

Shu Hua felt embarrassed by their comments, and her face flushed slightly.

Today she wore a light gray-blue knitted short-sleeved dress, which looked gentle and elegant. The ruffled hem added a touch of liveliness, and the length was just right, reaching her knees and revealing a section of her fair and slender calves. Her slightly wavy black hair was draped over her shoulders, making her look fresh and gentle, yet her figure was shapely and well-proportioned, with curves in all the right places.

Yunyi looked her up and down, and said enviously, "Third Sister-in-law, how do you maintain such a figure? It's amazing!"

Shu Hua smiled modestly: "I haven't really made any effort to maintain it...it's probably just...my constitution."

"I'm so envious!" Yunyi sighed exaggeratedly. "We have to control our food intake precisely; if we eat even one more bite, we have to spend half a day at the gym. Third Brother is so lucky; he eats so well."

These words were ambiguous, and Shu Hua's face turned even redder.

Pei Yanzhou glanced at Yun Yi and said indifferently, "Alright, stop teasing her one by one."

"Oh my! Third Brother's starting to protect his wife!" Ji Zexu exclaimed. "It's so sour, it's making my teeth ache!"

Zhou Jingqian chuckled softly, "It's rare to see Third Brother like this."

Shu Hua felt her ears burning from their words and lowered her head to take a sip of tea.

Fortunately, the door to the private room was opened at the right time, and the waiter respectfully led two people in—or rather, three people.

Pei Yanzhou's older sister, Pei Muyu, and her husband, Fu Hanchuan, walked in. Fu Hanchuan was holding a beautiful little girl in his arms.

"Sister, brother-in-law." Pei Yanzhou stood up.

Everyone stood up.

Pei Muyu is three years older than Pei Yanzhou, and the two look about five or six points alike, both with striking features and excellent bone structure. She wore a dark green cheongsam, her long hair was tied up, and she looked bright and elegant. She was very well-maintained and you couldn't tell at all that she was already a mother of a two-year-old.

Fu Hanchuan, on the other hand, had a completely different style. He wore a well-tailored dark blue suit, exuding a gentle and refined air, and radiating the composure and dignity characteristic of a diplomat. The little girl in his arms wore a pink tutu, had two little pigtails, and big eyes with long eyelashes, looking like an exquisite porcelain doll.

"Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way, I'm late." Fu Hanchuan apologized with a smile, his voice gentle.

"It's alright, it's alright, please sit down." Ji Zexu pulled out a chair for him.

Everyone sat down again.

"Xiao Yan, let's draw." Pei Muyu released Fu Hanchuan, stepped forward to hug her younger brother first, and then warmly took Shu Hua's hand, looking her up and down with eyes full of affection. "Your drawing is beautiful again! You look so radiant!"

She genuinely liked this sister-in-law; her family background, appearance, character, and talent were all excellent. When her mother chose Shu Hua, she was the first to wholeheartedly agree.

"Hello, sister! Hello, brother-in-law!" Shu Hua greeted them with a smile, then looked at the little girl in Fu Hanchuan's arms who was curiously looking around, "Nuonuo, do you still remember your aunt?"

Nuonuo inherited all the best qualities from her parents and is a complete sucker for good looks. She stared at Shuhua with her big, grape-like eyes, not blinking.

Pei Muyu also said softly, "Nuonuo, who is this? Call her Auntie."

Nuonuo seemed to remember something. She grinned, revealing a few tiny teeth, and called out in a sweet, childish voice, "Auntie~"

That sound melted Shu Hua's heart.

She immediately reached out her hand, her eyes crinkling with joy: "Oh! Nuonuo is such a good girl, do you want Auntie to give you a hug?"

Nuonuo looked at her mother, then at her pretty aunt, and without hesitation stretched out her two little hands to Shuhua: "Yes!"

Shu Hua happily took the little one and carefully held her in her arms. Nuonuo smelled sweetly of milk, and her little hands were soft.

Shu Hua couldn't help but gently rub her little face: "Nuonuo is so cute." She teased the child, "How old are you?"

Nuonuo held up three chubby fingers: "Three years old~"

"Great job!" Shu Hua praised her, then turned to Pei Yanzhou, "Nuonuo, look who this is?"

Nuonuo seemed particularly close to Pei Yanzhou, becoming excited as soon as she saw him. She wriggled in Shu Hua's arms, reaching out her little hands to Pei Yanzhou, crying, "Uncle! Hug me! Uncle, hug me!"

Pei Yanzhou's originally cold and hard expression softened instantly as he took Nuonuo from Shu Hua's arms: "Did you miss your uncle?"

"I want to~" Nuonuo hugged his neck and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, leaving a small drool mark.

Everyone was amused.

Ji Zexu also came over to tease her: "Nuonuo, do you still remember who I am?"

Nuonuo blinked her big eyes at him for a while, then called out in a clear voice, "Uncle Ji!"

"Pfft—" Yunyi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ji Zexu's face fell: "What? Uncle Ji! Call me brother! I'm so young and handsome, how can I be called uncle!"

Nuonuo insisted, "Uncle Ji!"

Zhou Jingqian chuckled, a rare occurrence for him: "Just accept your fate, you're now in the uncle's generation."

Fu Hanchuan explained gently, "Nuonuo lived in Huacheng before she was one year old, and Yan Zhou took care of her a lot, so she is closest to her uncle. She can't distinguish the others, so she calls them all 'uncle' and 'auntie'."

"Then why call her Sister Yunyi?" Ji Zexu protested.

Yunyi raised an eyebrow smugly: "Of course it's because I'm young and beautiful!"

Nuonuo added insult to injury at the opportune moment: "Sister Yunyi is beautiful~"

Ji Zexu: "..."

The food was served quickly. Nuonuo was seated in a high chair next to Shuhua, while Pei Yanzhou sat on the other side of Shuhua.

Throughout the meal, Shu Hua's attention was almost entirely focused on Nuonuo. She kept busy serving her food, feeding her soup, and wiping her mouth. Nuonuo was also very attached to her, calling her "Auntie" this and "Auntie" that, and the two had a great time playing together.

Pei Yanzhou sat on the other side of Shu Hua, but his attention was always partly on Shu Hua.

Seeing that she was only focused on taking care of Nuonuo and had hardly touched her own plate, he frowned slightly and used serving chopsticks to put a few of her favorite dishes on her plate.

"Let's eat first."

Shu Hua teased Nuonuo without looking up, saying, "I'm not hungry, you eat first."

"No." Pei Yanzhou ladled out half a bowl of chicken soup and placed it next to her. "At least drink the soup first."

Shu Hua then looked up at him and whispered, "I'm really not hungry..."

Pei Yanzhou didn't say anything, but pushed the soup bowl towards her again, his eyes making it clear: she had to drink it.

Shu Hua pouted, knowing she couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she picked up the soup bowl and drank it in small sips.

After she finished drinking, Pei Yanzhou put a steamed fish, a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and a few green vegetables on her plate, piling it full.

Shu Hua's eyes widened: "I can't eat that much!"

"Eat first, we'll talk about it later if you can't finish it." Pei Yanzhou remained unmoved and put another piece of deboned fish on her plate.

Shu Hua knew she couldn't win against him, so she angrily picked up her chopsticks and stuffed the food he had picked up into her mouth bit by bit. Her cheeks puffed out slightly, like a little hamster hoarding food, and she didn't forget to glare at him resentfully.

Everyone else at the table saw this and exchanged meaningful glances.

Ji Zexu lowered his voice and said to Zhou Jingqian, "See? Third Brother is so possessive. He's even jealous of his little niece."

Zhou Jingqian glanced at him: "Say less, or Third Brother might hear you."

Pei Muyu and Fu Hanchuan exchanged a smile. Pei Muyu whispered to her husband, "It seems Yanzhou really enjoys painting."

Fu Hanchuan nodded: "That's good. He's gentle and easygoing, so he can be kept in check."

Yunyi said to Shuhua with envy, "Third sister-in-law, third brother is so good to you."

Shu Hua was struggling with a piece of pork rib when she heard this, her face turned red, and she muttered softly, "What's so good about it? You're forcing me to eat..."

Pei Yanzhou heard this and raised an eyebrow at her: "Hmm?"

Shu Hua immediately backed down: "It's nothing... I just said these ribs are delicious."

Nuonuo giggled beside her, "Auntie is afraid of Uncle~"

Single guy Ji Zexu silently lowered his head, his mind racing: Damn it, this stench of romance! Third brother, you've changed! You weren't like this before!
