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

When Shu Hua finished packing her things and went downstairs, it was already 6:20.

She assumed Pei Yanzhou would be working overtime until eight or nine o'clock again, and was just thinking about having a simple dinner when her phone vibrated.

Pei Yanzhou: [Waiting for you in the parking lot.]

Shu Hua was taken aback for a moment, then replied: 【You're off work?】

Pei Yanzhou: [Hmm.]

When Shu Hua arrived at the parking lot, she saw the familiar car in the distance. She walked over, opened the passenger door, and got in.

"Don't you have to work overtime tonight?" she asked while fastening her seatbelt.

"No overtime." Pei Yanzhou started the car. "From now on, we shouldn't have to work overtime anymore."

"Hmm?" Shu Hua asked, puzzled.

"Go home and be with my wife."

Shu Hua couldn't help but smile, but she forced it down and said "Oh" in a nonchalant manner.

"Do you want to eat out tonight, or eat at home?" Pei Yanzhou asked.

Shu Hua thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Let's eat at home. You... will cook for me?"

During the probationary period, one should enjoy some "privileges".

"Can."

"Then..." Shu Hua's eyes lit up, "Let's go to the supermarket! We can buy groceries and cook at home, how about that?"

"Supermarket?" Pei Yanzhou raised an eyebrow slightly.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to come with me?" Shu Hua turned to look at him.

"No," Pei Yanzhou shook his head, "It's just... I've never been there."

"Huh?" Shu Hua was genuinely surprised this time, staring at him with wide eyes. "You've never been to a supermarket?"

These days, is there anyone who hasn't been to a supermarket? Especially someone his age.

"Hmm." Pei Yanzhou readily admitted, tapping his fingers lightly on the steering wheel. "There's no chance."

Shu Hua thought about it and agreed. Growing up in an environment where he probably rarely even went into the kitchen, let alone went to the supermarket to pick out ingredients himself. His life was efficient, precise, and he was served.

"Then you'll give me your first time shopping at the supermarket," she laughed. "I'll show President Pei a proper taste of everyday life."

Pei Yanzhou looked at her bright smile and gently brushed a stray hair from her cheek.

"My pleasure."

The car was parked at a high-end boutique supermarket near Shuhua Apartment. It was rush hour, and while the supermarket was fairly crowded, it wasn't packed either.

Pei Yanzhou pushed the shopping cart, and Shu Hua walked beside him. After a few steps, Pei Yanzhou reached out and pulled her close, letting her take his arm.

"Why?" Shu Hua asked, puzzled. "It's hard to walk like this."

"I'm not familiar with this place," Pei Yanzhou said without changing his expression, offering a perfectly valid reason. "It would be better if you took me with you."

Shu Hua: "..."

What kind of twisted logic is this?

She glanced at him speechlessly, but still obediently took his arm.

The two were already strikingly good-looking, and walking together made them even more eye-catching. Many passing customers cast their gazes at them.

As the two walked through the fresh produce section, Pei Yanzhou asked, "What would you like to eat?"

Shu listed a few dishes: "I want to eat crayfish, cream of mushroom soup, and cream of pasta."

After she finished speaking, she looked at him with some concern, "But... can you do these things?"

She imagined Pei Yanzhou preparing spicy crayfish and felt something was off. Besides, he probably hadn't even eaten crayfish much.

"meeting."

"Even crayfish can do that?" Shu Hua pressed.

"What you want to eat." He turned to look at her. "Even if you don't know how, you should learn. Cooking isn't difficult for me."

Shu Hua couldn't help but laugh, and poked his chest with her index finger: "Pei Yanzhou, I've discovered that you really aren't good at being modest."

"There's no need to be modest in your area of ​​expertise," Pei Yanzhou said matter-of-factly. "Knowing that your abilities match your abilities, you should do your best."

"I've learned a lot, Teacher Pei," Shu Hua said jokingly.

"Teacher?" Pei Yanzhou pushed his cart into the condiment section, picked up a bottle of cooking sauce, and looked at the ingredient list. "You want to be my student?"

"Is that not allowed?" Shu Hua tilted her head, then suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, I heard from my sister that you were a teaching assistant when you were studying abroad?"

Pei Yanzhou put the sauce into the shopping cart and nodded: "Yes, I taught an economics discussion class for two semesters."

"Since you've been a teaching assistant before, teaching me shouldn't be a problem," Shu Hua said, intrigued. "Besides, I'm very smart; I understand things quickly."

She was a little curious about what he would be like as a teacher, whether he would be as...cold and charming as he is now?

Pei Yanzhou continued pushing the cart forward, and upon hearing this, the corner of his mouth curved slightly: "I can't teach you."

Why?

"You might cry from my scolding."

Shu Hua: "...So strict? Can't you be a little more gentle with her?"

"In my approach to academic matters, I treat all students equally, regardless of gender," Pei Yanzhou's voice regained its usual rationality. "If I don't hold them to high standards, they might become complacent and it could even negatively impact their future professional development. That's not a responsible attitude."

He spoke seriously, and Shu Hua put away her joking thoughts, realizing that what he said made a lot of sense. People like him are probably meticulous and strive for perfection in any serious matter.

However, he suddenly stopped, turned to the side, and leaned close to her ear.

"However... I don't mind teaching you in bed. I'll take responsibility if you cry."

He paused, then deliberately asked, "Still learning?"

Shu Hua's smile froze instantly, her ears turned bright red, and the redness spread all the way down to her neck.

The topic jumped around too fast! She subconsciously glanced around quickly, thankfully no one nearby was paying attention to them.

She glared at him fiercely and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth: "Pervert! You can teach yourself."

After saying that, she let go of his hand and walked quickly forward.

Pei Yanzhou watched her retreating figure, a smile spreading across his eyes, and took a few long strides to catch up with her.

As a result, Shu Hua had not walked far when someone came up to chat with her.

"Excuse me, are you alone?" A stylishly dressed young man wearing sunglasses stopped her. "Would it be convenient to add each other on WeChat?"

Shu Hua stopped and looked up at the man. He took off his sunglasses, revealing a fairly handsome face. He looked vaguely familiar; she felt she'd seen him in a TV drama or variety show before. He must be a moderately famous celebrity. This upscale neighborhood did indeed house quite a few people from the entertainment industry.

Just as she was about to refuse, Pei Yanzhou was already standing beside her, his arm naturally around her shoulder, pulling her closer to him.

Pei Yanzhou's face remained expressionless, but his aura instantly turned cold, and his gaze swept coldly directly at the man who had approached him: "You want to add my wife on WeChat?"
