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

Shu Hua asked in surprise, "At the time of the engagement?"

That was around January, from their official engagement to their wedding, which took only a few months.

"Hmm." Pei Yanzhou nodded. "After all, she is my parents-in-law's precious daughter who has been pampered for more than 20 years. I can't just marry her and then let her suffer and go hungry with me."

He was telling the truth.

At that time, they had just gotten engaged, and Shu Hua was still abroad completing his final studies. In his spare time, he would occasionally have a private chef come to his home to teach him. He was a quick learner and had a high comprehension level, so cooking was not a difficult task for him.

Shu Hua's most tender spot was deeply touched.

She always thought his kindness was cultivated gradually after marriage, but she never expected that so early on, during what she thought was just a family alliance and a period of estrangement, he was already quietly planning for her, studying for her, and wanting to give her the best of everything.

She laughed, reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, then leaned in and kissed him on the cheek: "That's certainly commendable! You have a very high level of awareness, Mr. Pei!"

Seeing her smile instantly brighten and her eyes crinkle with joy, Pei Yanzhou couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips as well: "I just did what a married man should do."

Shu Hua cupped his face in her hands, looking him up and down, increasingly satisfied. "Mr. Pei is indeed very charming! Hmm, not bad. It seems I married a good husband after all." She proudly announced, "From now on, the glorious and arduous task of cooking is officially handed over to you!"

"You were so jealous just now, your lips could hold an oil bottle. Are you happy now?" Pei Yanzhou asked, raising his hand to touch her lips.

Shu Hua nodded vigorously and said earnestly, "I'm happy. I'm happy when I'm with you." She then asked, "And you? Are you happy?"

Pei Yanzhou looked into her clear eyes, where his image was fully reflected.

He spoke slowly, "Just like you."

Shu Hua felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She leaned forward, pouted her lips, and planted a loud kiss on his lips.

Since tomorrow is the weekend, the two decided to stay at the old house. In the evening, after Shu Hua finished washing up, she leaned against the headboard and scrolled through her phone.

Pei Yanzhou walked out of the bathroom while drying his hair. He didn't go to bed immediately, but went to the dressing room and took out an exquisitely wrapped dark blue velvet gift box.

"Here you go." He walked over and handed the box to Shu Xiang.

Shu Hua's eyes lit up. She immediately put down her phone, sat up straight, and took the box: "What's this?"

"A gift for your official employment." Pei Yanzhou sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at her. "Open it and take a look. I think you'll like it."

Shu Hua's curiosity was piqued. She opened the lid, picked up the book, and after seeing the title and author, her breath hitched slightly. Then, she opened her eyes wide in disbelief!

This is actually a rare, out-of-print collection of fairy tales by her favorite fairy tale master—a first edition limited collector's edition! And it even has his autograph on it! This author passed away twenty years ago, and his first editions are practically priceless on the collector's market.

When she was studying abroad, she searched through bookstores and antique book markets but couldn't find it, which she always regretted.

"When...when did you buy it? No, how did you find it?" Shu Hua raised her head, her eyes already a little moist.

From a young age, she had a special fondness for fairy tales, finding the world within them romantic, pure, and full of hope. When she was little, her mother often dressed her up as princesses from various fairy tales and took her to castle-themed amusement parks, letting her experience "a day in the life of a little princess." This childlike wonder, even as she grew up and experienced life's trials, remains in the softest corner of her heart.

Pei Yanzhou: "Do you like it?"

"I love it! I love it so much!" Shu Hua nodded vigorously, hugging the book tightly. She turned and threw herself into his arms, kissing him several times on the cheek. "Pei Yanzhou, I feel like you're my Santa Claus! Can you grant any wish I make?"

Pei Yanzhou caught her steadily, his fingers stroking her smooth, long hair as he chuckled, "Probably. After all, ninety-nine percent of the problems in this world can be solved with money."

To be honest, he didn't want to create any unrealistic romantic fantasies.

Shu Hua was amused by this incredibly blunt man's remark. She lifted her head from his embrace and gave him a playful glare: "Pei Yanzhou, you really don't know how to talk!"

However, to thank this "straight-as-an-arrow" Santa Claus, Shu Hua decided to express her feelings. She leaned in and planted a kiss on his lips.

Pei Yanzhou readily accepted, and deepened the kiss as she pulled away, until both of them were slightly out of breath before reluctantly parting.

"Which story would you like to hear?" Pei Yanzhou's voice came from above.

Shu Hua paused for a moment, then looked up at him: "Are you going to tell me?"

She looked at Pei Yanzhou's handsome yet always somewhat aloof and cold face, imagining him reading fairy tales in his deep and pleasant voice... The contrast was just too adorable!

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Before Pei Yanzhou could even begin to speak, he could feel the person in his arms shrugging their shoulders, clearly trying to suppress a laugh.

"What's wrong?" he asked, looking down.

Shu Hua's voice was full of laughter: "It's nothing, you're just being a good mother. You're like a... male mother, telling me a story."

Pei Yanzhou clearly didn't understand this internet slang term, and frowned slightly: "Male mother? What does that mean?"

"It's just..." Shu Hua was about to explain and teach him some new-era vocabulary.

"Knock knock knock".

A soft knock on the door interrupted her explanation.

Both of them looked towards the door at the same time.

"I'll go open the door." Pei Yanzhou patted her back, got up, and walked towards the door.

As soon as the door opened, a small figure stood outside.

Nuonuo had changed into a fluffy light brown bear onesie, clutching her must-have teddy bear plush toy tightly in her arms. She tilted her little head back, saw Pei Yanzhou open the door, and immediately flashed a sweet smile, calling out in her childish voice:

"Uncle~"

Pei Yanzhou bent down and picked her up, letting her sit in his arms, and asked, "You little rascal, why aren't you asleep yet? Where's your mother?"

Nuonuo hugged his neck, her little face pressed against his, her voice muffled and a little aggrieved: "Mommy...Mommy's in her room, she's going to talk to Daddy on the phone for a long, long time..." She looked up at Pei Yanzhou with her big, wet eyes, full of expectation, then looked over his shoulder at Shu Hua on the bed, her voice even sweeter:

"Uncle...I want to sleep with Auntie tonight~"

"Auntie~" she called softly to Shu Hua.

Shu Hua's heart melted instantly. Forget about the "male mother" and their time together, she immediately reached out her hands to her with a gentle smile: "Come here, Nuonuo, come to your aunt."

Pei Yanzhou looked at the little "uninvited guest" in his arms, then at Shu Hua on the bed, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Well, looks like tonight will be a threesome.
