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

Upon hearing this, the person, who had maintained a cold expression throughout, found the corners of their mouth involuntarily turning upwards.

So, in her heart, he was like this.

Thinking about it this way, he felt even better, and the smile on his lips deepened a little. He couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.

"cough……"

The soft laugh sounded particularly out of place at the dining table, which was otherwise quite lively but inexplicably reserved with Pei Yanzhou present.

The design department colleagues, who were engrossed in their conversation, fell silent instantly. Their eyes, filled with disbelief and astonishment, turned to the source of the voice—their CEO, Pei Yanzhou.

President Pei... smiled?

What the hell?! What's wrong with CEO Pei today? From joining the design department in the tug-of-war, to cheering them on with their hands stacked on top of each other, and now even laughing out loud while listening to employees talking about their personal matters? This completely overturns their perception of CEO Pei as "aloof, serious, and never smiling"!

Shu Hua was startled by his laughter.

She looked up and met Pei Yanzhou's eyes, where the smugness hadn't completely faded. Big brother, was your reaction really necessary? Tone it down a bit!

She quickly kicked his foot under the table.

Pei Yanzhou immediately suppressed his smile, reverting to his usual calm and composed demeanor. He cleared his throat: "You guys chat, don't mind me."

His words eased everyone's tensions somewhat, but the atmosphere was noticeably more tense than before. President Pei's attitude... was far too amiable! It was like he was a completely different person!

Under the table, Pei Yanzhou, after being "warned," not only did not restrain himself, but instead became even more unruly.

His long legs stretched out under the table, accurately finding the foot that Shu Hua had just "committed the crime," and then he gently touched the tip of her shoe with his toes, with a hint of provocation.

Shu Hua's body stiffened, and she subconsciously tried to pull her foot back, but he relentlessly chased after her.

Then, their feet hooked together.

Shu Hua's face flushed slightly, and she secretly curved her lips into a smile, but she didn't dare to look at him. Occasionally, their eyes would meet, but she would quickly look away.

She always felt a sense of taboo about this clandestine, unspoken interaction. Even though they were legally married, it felt like they were having an affair.

"You're an artist? What does your husband do?" another female colleague asked curiously. "Is he handsome too?"

Before Shu Hua could figure out how to answer, Yao Zhiyao interrupted, "I know, I know! My sister Hua said it's just a small business, nothing special!"

After she finished speaking, she felt very clever for helping Shu Hua maintain her low-key image, and winked at Shu Hua.

Shu Hua: "!!!"

She almost choked to death on a mouthful of food!

Yao Zhiyao is such a character, he says everything. He was even talking about crickets in front of people, and the person involved overheard it.

This time, we've really touched the tiger's tail.

She almost immediately looked up at Pei Yanzhou across from her. Sure enough, the corners of Pei's mouth, which had just been slightly curved, instantly straightened, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes landing on her face with a half-smile.

That gaze seemed to say: Small business? Ordinary? Mrs. Pei, can you explain?

Shu Hua coughed lightly, quickly trying to cover up her mistake: "He's... he's alright. His work is alright, just quite busy. As for whether he's handsome or not..." She paused, and under Pei Yanzhou's almost "oppressive" gaze, forced herself to say, "Well... I think he's quite handsome."

After she finished speaking, she felt her face burning.

If she stayed any longer, all those things she had casually said to keep a low profile would be thoroughly exposed by Yao Zhiyao, her "pig teammate," and her colleagues' curiosity!

She was just about to make an excuse to slip away with Yao Zhiyao when suddenly—

"Clatter".

Yao Zhiyao's chopsticks fell to the ground.

"Oh dear! I'm sorry." Yao Zhiyao instinctively bent down.

Before Shu Hua could retract her foot, which was pressed against Pei Yanzhou's, Yao Zhiyao had already squatted down.

Shu Hua watched helplessly as Yao Zhiyao's head disappeared under the table, her mind going blank.

Oops.

As Yao Zhiyao bent down to pick up his chopsticks, his gaze swept across the area under the table—

She saw two pairs of feet pressed together.

One pair is men's black sneakers, and the other pair is women's white sneakers.

And the owners of these two pairs of shoes, one is her sister Hua, and the other seems to be... President Pei?!

Wait, Mr. Pei and his sister Hua are secretly touching feet under the table?!

Yao Zhiyao's eyes widened instantly, and her mind went blank.

No wonder, no wonder she felt something was off today. She felt that President Pei was paying special attention to Sister Hua…

She felt like she had discovered some earth-shattering secret!

Startled, Shu Hua quickly pulled her foot back, but because she moved too hastily, her knee accidentally hit the table leg, making a soft "thump" sound.

The commotion drew the attention of everyone at the table.

"Yaoyao? What's wrong? Did you find it?" a colleague asked.

Yao Zhiyao then seemed to wake up from a dream, quickly grabbed the chopsticks on the ground, and hurriedly straightened up, sitting back down in his chair.

She didn't dare look at Shu Hua, much less at Pei Yanzhou opposite her, and stammered, "I...I found it...it's...it's okay..."

But her expression and reaction were clearly off. Several colleagues cast questioning glances at her.

Shu Hua quickly realized that she had to take Yao Zhiyao, the "insider," away immediately to prevent her from revealing any more secrets here.

She immediately reached out and grabbed Yao Zhiyao's arm, forcing a natural smile as she said, "Um... Yaoyao, didn't you say you always wanted to get Wen Jiani's autograph and a photo? I think there shouldn't be too many people now. Come on, I'll go with you."

Yao Zhiyao was still in a state of shock and confusion as she processed the information. When Shu Hua pulled her, she subconsciously exclaimed "Huh?" and said blankly, "Yes, yes... we're going to..." Her mind was still a mess.

"But Sister Hua, we..." She looked at the unfinished meal on the table, then at President Pei's calm expression, and felt that leaving like this would be strange.

"No buts, this is a rare opportunity!" Shu Hua said without further ado, forcefully pulling Yao Zhiyao up from her chair. Then, she gave her colleagues at the table an apologetic smile. "Excuse me, everyone, please excuse us for a moment. President Pei, Vice President Lin, Director Qiao, please enjoy your meal."

After saying that, he pulled Yao Zhiyao, who was still in shock, and quickly left the cafeteria.

Shu Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the cafeteria and entering the relatively quiet corridor.

Yao Zhiyao finally came to her senses, grabbed Shu Hua's arm, and stared wide-eyed: "Sister Hua! You and President Pei...you two..."
