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

Shu Hua was absentmindedly thinking about what Pei Yanzhou had done under the table earlier when she heard this, and almost without thinking, she blurted out, "Definitely!"

After saying that, she herself was stunned. Because her tone carried a sense of matter-of-fact certainty, even... a little bit of pride?

As soon as she spoke, everyone at the table turned to look at her.

Shu Hua instantly realized her mistake, so embarrassed she dug her toes into the ground, and quickly tried to cover it up: "I... I meant, President Pei is so outstanding and handsome, he must have very high standards for the people he chooses, so his wife must also be outstanding and beautiful..."

Well, I also gave myself a compliment, which is perfectly fine.

Everyone agreed that it made sense and nodded in agreement, thus beginning a new round of gossip.

As the dinner party drew to a close, someone suggested moving on to a karaoke bar to continue the fun. Since the department that had the dinner party was entitled to a paid day off the following day, no one felt pressured.

"Sister Hua, let's go together? We don't have to work tomorrow." Yao Zhiyao pulled her arm and shook it.

"Yes, Shuhua, let's all have some fun together." Li Cheng looked at her expectantly.

Shu Hua quickly shook her head and declined, "No, no, you guys go ahead and have fun. I... my husband is still at home, I have to go back."

The crowd immediately started making a fuss:

"Wow~ So the beautiful Shu is going home to be with her husband!"

"Looks like love is really sweet!"

"A grown man wants his wife to come home early to keep him company? Tsk, why is that a little sweet?"

"I'm so smitten! Shu Hua's eyes light up when she talks about her husband!"

The teasing made Shu Hua blush slightly, but everyone could see the natural, feminine charm she exuded.

Only Li Cheng's smile faded slightly.

Although Yao Zhiyao was disappointed, she understood: "Alright then, Sister Hua, take care on your journey. Let's meet up again next time!"

Shu Hua said goodbye to everyone, picked up her bag, and left the private room.

Li Cheng watched her departing figure, hesitated for a moment, and then followed her out. He wanted to see her off, or... at least know whether she left alone or if someone was picking her up.

He followed Shu Hua out of the hotel and watched as she didn't hail a taxi at the entrance. Instead, she crossed the road and walked to the opposite side of the street, where she stopped in a black Bugatti. She then expertly opened the passenger door and got in.

Li Cheng was stunned.

He recognized that car; it was a one-of-a-kind limited edition, worth over 100 million yuan. He had been fortunate enough to see it at a car show before, but he didn't even have the privilege of touching it.

And now, Shu Hua simply sat down inside.

An indescribable mix of jealousy and inferiority welled up inside him. He had always thought of himself as a good catch—young and promising—and someone like Shu Hua… perhaps he could try. But at this moment, he clearly realized that he and she were from completely different worlds.

inside the car.

As soon as Shu Hua got into the car, before she even fastened her seatbelt, she couldn't help but start "complaining" about the man in the driver's seat.

"Pei Yanzhou! Did you do that on purpose?!" She glared at him angrily. "Why did you sit next to me? And...and held my hand under the table! Do you know how scared I was?! What if someone saw us? My heart was pounding in my chest! You..."

She chattered on and on, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and her eyes widened like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Pei Yanzhou held the steering wheel with one hand and casually rested the other on the center armrest, listening to her complaints with a leisurely air. His gaze fell on her lips as they opened and closed, and a half-smile curved his lips.

Shu Hua talked for a long time, but seeing that he didn't react at all and was just staring at her, she became even angrier: "Are you even listening to me?! You..."

"Are you done talking?" Pei Yanzhou finally spoke, his voice lazy and magnetic, interrupting her.

Shu Hua choked on her words: "...More or less!"

"You little chatterbox, how can you talk so much?" Pei Yanzhou chuckled, then suddenly leaned over and pinched her cheek.

Shu Hua was even angrier, glaring at him: "Who told you—"

Before she could finish speaking, the rest of her words were silenced by the man's warm lips.

He held her chin and kissed her deeply, only releasing her after a long while.

Shu Hua was dizzy from the kiss and was about to say something when Pei Yanzhou took her hand and slipped a ring onto her ring finger.

"What's this for?" Shu Hua stared blankly at the ring that had appeared on her finger.

The size is just right.

The design is simple and elegant, with a platinum band set with a circle of tiny diamonds. It is understated yet exquisite.

"You're not allowed to take it off," Pei Yanzhou said, looking at her. "You'll wear this from now on."

Shu Hua pouted, instinctively wanting to retort, but looking at the ring on her finger that shimmered under the light, she swallowed her words.

When they got married, Pei Yanzhou prepared a top-quality blue diamond ring for her worth 800 million yuan—luxurious and dazzling. She remembered that when she put it on on her wedding day, the ring attracted the attention of almost everyone present.

It's beautiful, but also too flashy.

Later, when she went to work, she put the ring away. It was too conspicuous; if she wore it to the office, the whole company would probably know she was the mysterious Mrs. Pei within half a day.

And now, this one on my finger...

Simple, understated, and suitable for everyday wear.

Pei Yanzhou kissed her fingers again and asked, "Did you eat enough?"

Upon hearing this, Shu Hua subconsciously pouted, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettish complaint: "No."

No wonder she couldn't eat her fill! She was completely focused the whole time, and with one hand being held by this man, she couldn't eat properly at all.

Pei Yanzhou didn't say anything, but took a thermos bag, opened it, and inside was an exquisite porcelain bowl. The lid was lifted, and a fresh, warm aroma wafted out.

Shu Hua's eyes lit up: "How did you know I wanted to eat this?"

Late-night fish congee is her favorite, especially when she has no appetite; drinking a bowl of it is incredibly comforting.

Pei Yanzhou didn't answer. He picked up the small spoon that came with the dish, scooped up a spoonful, and brought it to her lips: "Try it."

Shu Hua looked at the spoon being offered to her mouth, a little embarrassed: "I... I can do it myself."

"Open your mouth," Pei Yanzhou insisted, pushing the spoon forward further. "It's a bit hot, blow on it first."

Shu Hua blushed slightly and could only take a small sip from his hand. The warm porridge touched her lips; the fish slices were tender and smooth, the porridge base was creamy, and it had just the right amount of peppery aroma.

"It's so delicious!" Her eyes lit up even more. "Where did you buy it? It tastes just right!"

"I had it made at the hotel just now." Seeing that she liked it, Pei Yanzhou's eyes softened, and he scooped up another spoonful to feed her. "Take another sip."

"Aren't you going to drink?" Shu Hua asked while enjoying being fed.

I noticed he didn't eat much earlier.

I'm not hungry.

Shu Hua said "Oh" and continued drinking her porridge.

After taking a few sips, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "What time is your flight tomorrow morning?"

"Seven o'clock."

"So early..." Shu Hua frowned. "Then I might not be able to get up to see you off." She struggles to get to work every day, let alone get up early to catch a flight.

"No need to see me off." Pei Yanzhou fed her another bite. "You go to sleep."

"Then I wish you a safe journey in advance."
