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

As she spoke, she winked at Wen Jiani.

Wen Jiani couldn't help but smile and returned her a gentle look.

Lan Yun'er and Jiang Chu were furious, but dared not vent their anger in public.

Jiang Chu was unwilling to give up and subtly mocked, "What's the use of some people dressing up so well? Can they even afford all this jewelry? You can't just get into this kind of place with your looks alone."

Before she could finish speaking, a female voice interrupted:

"Miss, if you knew that the dress she's wearing could buy a hundred sets of jewelry like these, you wouldn't have said such a thing."

Everyone turned their heads.

Two people walked over – one was CoCo, the editor-in-chief of Fashion Magazine, a top fashion icon in the industry with a sharp eye and countless fashion resources, and someone that countless celebrities would do anything to curry favor with; the other was Lisa, the brand's Asia-Pacific head.

The two walked straight to the picture of Shu.

CoCo opened her arms to Shu Hua with a bright smile: "Miss Shu, it's been a long time. You're still as beautiful as ever."

Shu Hua stood up and gently hugged her: "Sister CoCo."

Lisa extended her hand and warmly shook hands with Shu Hua: "Ms. Shu, thank you for coming tonight."

Jiang Chu and Lan Yun'er were both stunned.

Who is CoCo? She's notoriously aloof and difficult to work with in the industry; countless A-list celebrities have wanted to appear in her magazines but have been turned away. Even Lan Yun'er personally visited her before, hoping to secure a spot inside, but she didn't even get a meeting.

Lisa, the brand's Asia-Pacific head, is known for being extremely picky.

Jiang Chu and Lan Yun'er were completely dumbfounded!

CoCo and Lisa greeted Wen Jiani again. Upon learning that Shu Hua and Wen Jiani were friends, the group chatted even more enthusiastically, without sparing Jiang Chu and Lan Yun'er a single glance.

Unwilling to be ignored, Lan Yun'er stood up with her champagne glass in hand and squeezed through the crowd: "President Lisa, Editor-in-Chief CoCo, good evening."

Mr. Zhang reluctantly nodded and clinked glasses with Lisa, out of consideration for her status as a close friend of the brand.

CoCo didn't even lift her eyelids, as if she hadn't heard, and continued chatting with Shu Hua and Wen Jiani about the next season's fashion trends. Lan Yun'er's smile froze on her face, and her outstretched wine glass hung awkwardly in mid-air.

Seeing this, Jiang Chu wanted to save face for his "friend" and chimed in, "Editor-in-Chief CoCo, our Yoona is actually very fashionable. Fans say she's like a 'human peach.' Do you think there's a chance...?"

"A human peach?"

CoCo finally turned her head, her gaze sweeping critically over Lan Yun'er's overly sweet and puffy peach-pink tutu, before settling on Jiang Chu's red dress and large gold chain. Her red lips parted slightly, but her words were merciless, sharp and sarcastic:

"I'm sorry, but my magazine has its own aesthetic standards and bottom line. We will not lower our standards to work with people who have questionable fashion sense, poor body proportions, or lack both looks and charisma."

She paused, then added deliberately, "You can figure out who I'm talking about yourself."

After saying that, he turned to Wen Jiani and said, "Jiani, are you interested in the cover of the September issue?"

Wen Jiani exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Of course I'm interested!"

Lan Yun'er froze on the spot, her face turning red and white in turns.

Jiang Chu wanted to speak up for her friend: "Editor-in-Chief CoCo, Yoona, she..."

"You're so unfashionable," CoCo interrupted her bluntly. "You're dressed all over the place, like a Christmas tree."

Shu Hua, standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle. CoCo's sharp tongue truly lived up to its reputation—hitting the nail on the head, so satisfying!

Jiang Chu was furious when she saw the smile on Shu Hua's face. She glared at Shu Hua with venomous eyes. Shu Hua didn't care at all. She even raised her eyebrows at her deliberately, and her smile became even brighter.

But the irony was yet to come.

Attending a gala dinner as a jewelry ambassador is not only about showcasing the jewelry, but also essentially a high-end sales opportunity. Later in the dinner, the brand will tally the potential purchases of the jewelry worn by each guest.

The results came out very quickly.

The entire set of jewelry that Wen Jiani wore tonight, worth over 80 million, was sold.

And the biggest buyer...

It was Shu Hua.

She not only bought the entire set of jewelry that Wen Jiani was wearing, but also bid on the final piece, a set of blue diamond jewelry, for a total price of 430 million.

As for Lan Yun'er?

None of the jewelry she wore sold.

The brand's executives looked rather grim. Her status as a "brand ambassador," which she obtained through connections, was likely in jeopardy.

After the event ended, Wen Jiani still had work to discuss, so Shu Hua said goodbye and left first.

Lisa, the brand's representative, personally escorted Shuhua to the VIP exit of the underground parking lot, her attitude even more respectful and enthusiastic than when they arrived. Shuhua spent hundreds of millions tonight, making her undoubtedly the brand's most exclusive VIP client.

"Ms. Shu, we will arrange for someone to escort your ordered jewelry and handle the follow-up matters for you. Thank you again for your patronage of 'DQ', and we look forward to serving you again." Lisa bowed slightly.

"Lisa, you're too kind," Shu Hua said with a smile and a nod.

Lisa wisely left.

Shu Hua, carrying her small handbag, spotted the familiar black Maybach at a glance, and the tall figure leaning against the car door, waiting.

Pei Yanzhou wore a dark suit today, without a tie, and the top two buttons of his shirt collar were undone, making him look both lazy and noble.

He looked up when he heard footsteps.

The moment their eyes met, the slight unpleasantness Shu Hua had felt due to the incident at the banquet completely vanished. Her smile widened, and she ran over to him.

Shu Hua threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms around his strong waist, rubbing her face against his chest, then tilting her head up, her eyes sparkling: "Husband~"

That call was both sweet and gentle.

"Did you miss me?" she asked.

Pei Yanzhou lowered his head and gently took the hand's rosy, full lips into his mouth, sucking on them: "You're the one I miss the most."

Shu Hua tilted her head and asked playfully, "How am I? Don't I look especially pretty today?"

Pei Yanzhou raised his hand and gently wiped away the lipstick that had gotten on the corner of her mouth when he kissed her, his voice gentle: "Mmm, especially beautiful."

"You don't even know how to compliment someone properly." Shu Hua wasn't satisfied with this "simple" answer, pouting. "Are you just going to answer whatever I ask you? You should say—'Hua'er is a fairy, a fairy who descended to earth from heaven, untouched by worldly concerns!'"
