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

"Anything else?" He tightened his grip a little more.

Shu Hua's stomach ached, but she nodded quickly, her voice trembling with laughter, "I've thought about it! I miss you so much! I miss you more than anyone else in the whole world! Let me go..."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Pei Yanzhou finally gave up and let go.

Shu Hua collapsed onto the sofa, panting heavily, feeling like she was about to laugh herself to death. Her hair was disheveled, her cheeks were flushed from laughing, her eyes were watery, and her chest rose and fell slightly with each breath.

Pei Yanzhou's eyes darkened as he looked at her.

His movements had revealed a bit of her tummy. He lowered his head and gently kissed her flat, smooth belly.

Then he reached out and pulled down the hem of her dress, which had ridden up during their earlier playful fight.

The moment the warm lips touched her skin, Shu Hua's body trembled slightly.

Pei Yanzhou raised his head, tucked her hair behind her ear, and then leaned in to place a gentle kiss on her lips.

"Strawberries aren't as sweet as you," he whispered near her lips, wanting to kiss her again.

Just as his lips were about to fall again, his cell phone rang at an inopportune moment.

He frowned, seemingly annoyed at being disturbed at this moment. But he still got up, and casually pulled Shu Hua up to help her sit down.

While Pei Yanzhou was on the phone, Shu Hua raised her hand, made a seemingly fierce expression, and tried to punch his shoulder.

That bastard! He's always bullying her! She was almost itching to death just now!

Pei Yanzhou was on the phone when he turned around and saw Shu Hua's expression, as if she wanted to hit him.

Her "I'm fierce" expression wasn't intimidating at all; instead, she looked like a cute little rabbit with puffed-out cheeks when she was angry, making you want to pet her.

Shu Hua was caught red-handed, which was embarrassing, but since her hand was already raised, it would be even more embarrassing if she didn't hit him.

So she actually punched him in the chest.

Her kitten-like strength barely hurt when she hit Pei Yanzhou's firm chest. Pei Yanzhou took it as her flirting, a smile playing on his lips. He answered the phone with one hand, pulled her close with the other, and kissed her on the forehead.

After hearing something said on the other end of the phone, Pei Yanzhou hummed a few times and quickly ended the call.

The whole process took less than two minutes.

Shu Hua was nearby and vaguely heard words like "banquet" and "cocktail party".

Remembering Pei Yanzhou's sudden appearance in Jiangcheng today, she asked, "Did you come to Jiangcheng for work?"

"It's not work," Pei Yanzhou put away his phone and sat down next to her again. "I'm here to attend the Ji family's dinner party in Jiangcheng."

"The Ji family?"

"It's a long-established family in Jiangcheng, and they have some connections with our Pei family," Pei Yanzhou explained, then suddenly remembered something and asked her, "Would you like to see fireworks?"

"Fireworks?" Shu Hua's eyes lit up. "Fireworks are allowed in Jiangcheng?"

Hwaseong has very strict regulations on fireworks, and she hasn't seen large-scale fireworks in a long time.

"Fireworks at sea are fine," Pei Yanzhou explained. "The Ji family's banquet is being held on a cruise ship, and there will be a special fireworks display at sea afterward."

He paused, looking at her expectant eyes, and continued, "If all goes well, your work tomorrow should be finished before noon. Jona will give you some free time. Tomorrow evening, come with me to the banquet, okay?"

He was inviting her to formally appear at social events as Mrs. Pei.

Shu Hua thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

She also wanted to see what the fireworks over the sea in Jiangcheng looked like.

-

The next day.

Huang Qili caused such a scene last night, so naturally he had to pay the price for his actions. The other party was afraid of offending the powerful Pei family. What might have taken three days to negotiate was settled the very next morning. The other party was not only respectful but also voluntarily gave up three percent of the profits.

The cooperation talks went exceptionally smoothly.

As soon as she finished work at noon, Shu Hua said goodbye to Qiao Na, told her that she had made an appointment with a friend in Jiangcheng, and then left first.

She didn't even have lunch before Chen Yifei took her to a top-notch makeup and styling studio in Jiangcheng.

Pei Yanzhou still has work to do and will arrive later.

The studio occupies two or three floors, and today the entire styling team is dedicated to serving only Shu Hua. She sat in front of the makeup mirror, letting the makeup artists and stylists work on her face and hair.

When they were more than halfway through, Pei Yanzhou arrived.

He carried a thermal food container and walked to Shu Hua's side. Seeing that she had her eyes closed and was almost asleep, a smile flashed in his eyes.

Hearing the noise, Shu Hua opened her eyes and saw him. She instantly became more alert and her gaze fell on the food box in his hand: "What are you holding?"

"Crab roe wontons." Pei Yanzhou placed the food box on the dressing table beside him, opened the lid, and a delicious aroma instantly filled the air. "Didn't someone say they were hungry?"

Shu Hua was a little embarrassed.

She had only eaten a little this morning and had been hungry ever since. She had considered ordering takeout while getting her nails done, but it wasn't convenient to eat anything. Knowing that Pei Yanzhou was discussing business near that famous old-established wonton shop, she had subtly hinted at it. She hadn't expected him to actually remember and even bring it over.

The makeup artist and hairstylist were very perceptive; upon seeing this, they immediately stopped what they were doing, smiled, and stepped back a little to make room for each other.

"Mr. Pei, let's do Mrs. Pei's hair first. Please let Mrs. Pei have something to eat first," the hairstylist said considerately.

"Hmm." Pei Yanzhou nodded slightly.

So only two stylists were left in the room to help Shu with her curly hair.

Pei Yanzhou sat down on the chair next to Shu Hua, picked up a spoon, scooped up a small wonton, blew on it carefully, and held it to her lips.

Shu Hua opened her mouth naturally, enjoying his service.

The wonton wrappers are thin and the filling is generous, the crab roe is delicious, the soup is rich and flavorful, and the temperature is just right.

"So delicious, so fresh!" She squinted her eyes contentedly. "Have you tried it?"

"I've already eaten," Pei Yanzhou replied, then fed her another one.

While eating, Shu Hua said, "I only ate a little bit this morning and I've been starving ever since. I almost fainted from hunger. Thank goodness you arrived in time, Mr. Pei!"

Her voice was soft, with a deliberate attempt to flatter and coax, her compliments sounding natural and sincere. Although she subtly hinted at it herself, saying it like that made Pei Yanzhou seem especially important and considerate.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him, and he who takes another's money is bound to him." There's nothing wrong with flattering a powerful person from time to time.

Pei Yanzhou knew exactly what she was thinking, but he was still quite pleased to be coaxed by her sweet words.

The staff present were all charmed by the sweetness, exchanging glances. Who says arranged marriages between wealthy families can't be sweet? These two are absolutely adorable!

This is true fairy-tale love!

……

7 PM, Jiangcheng Private Dock.

Celebrities gathered, and luxury cars lined the streets. The Ji family's banquet tonight was held on a luxury cruise ship, and guests boarded and entered the venue one after another.

The cruise ship's first floor is a huge banquet hall, with dazzling crystal chandeliers and a band playing soothing jazz. Waitstaff move about, serving champagne and exquisite desserts.

When Pei Yanzhou and Shu Hua appeared, the entire banquet hall seemed to fall silent for a moment.

All eyes were involuntarily drawn to them.
