Liang Liangwei took Yan Zhixu to a roadside restaurant.

After sitting down, she took out her phone to scan the QR code on the table to order food.

As soon as I opened it, the man sitting opposite me handed me his phone.

She looked up and saw that the man's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to want to hide anything at all.

She glanced at the high-end business phone in his hand, then looked back at him, a mischievous smile playing on her lips: "You want me to look at your phone?"

Yan Zhixu smiled, looking at her teasing eyes, and said gently, "Feel free to look around, but order first."

Liang Liangwei took it without hesitation and skillfully scanned his face to unlock it.

It still has that simple desktop background, without any unnecessary entertainment apps.

She opened WeChat and glanced at the man briefly. He was looking at her with a composed expression. Their eyes met, and she gave a fake smile before looking away and returning to her WeChat.

She's still the first person pinned to my WeChat feed. I don't even need to open it to see the last message he sent: "I'm downstairs, come down."

I couldn't help but imagine the man, leaning lazily against the car, a cigarette dangling from his lips, casually exhaling, his expression cool as he typed those words to her on his phone. He was so handsome!

She couldn't help but smile, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Yan Zhixu didn't know what she was looking at or laughing at, so she tapped the table lightly with a sigh: "Weiwei, order some food. You must be hungry."

"Oh—" she responded, snapping out of her thoughts and quickly selecting her favorite meal from the ordering page on her phone.

Yan Zhixu: "Didn't I tell you to use my points?"

Liang Liangwei frequented this restaurant and was very familiar with its dishes. She quickly selected three items and continued scrolling down: "You clearly told me to look at whatever I wanted, and I'm looking at whatever I want right now. Or is there something on your phone that I can't see?"

Yan Zhixu: "No."

Liang Liangwei: "Then stop making a fuss, wait for me to get you something good to eat."

He had no choice but to let her have her way.

Liang Liangwei ordered another soup and a main dish, paid for it, put her phone down, and focused her attention back on his phone.

She knew that he didn't have much on his phone that she could see, and she wasn't interested in anything commercial; the only thing she was interested in was WeChat.

Scrolling down, it was basically all work-related labels and groups. He had muted the groups, and for the individuals, almost everyone's name had a title or identity prefix, which was very businesslike.

Suddenly, a name popped up, and her eyes flashed slightly.

【Lisa Chow】

Lisa must be the person he suddenly switched from English to Chinese and spoke angrily when he answered the phone at noon.

The last sentence displayed above is: "I want to join the Hezhou project."

The homepage doesn't show the sender's name, so it's unclear which of the two sent the message. However, he said "We don't need you here" on the phone at noon. Could that mean that Lisa wanted to join the project, but Yan Zhixu disagreed?

If so, then he probably didn't reply to the other party on WeChat, so the other party called him directly.

As a result, he yelled at me.

This message on WeChat was sent this morning, so it should be around evening in the US.

Don't people in that country usually refrain from discussing business outside of work hours? Harassing him so late at night clearly has ulterior motives.

Women have a very keen sixth sense, especially women in love.

The staff started serving the dishes, including the beef fried noodles. Yan Zhixu noticed that she was staring at her phone thoughtfully, so he reached out and took the bowl in front of her and served her some noodles.

"What's wrong? Did you see something you shouldn't see?" He teased, "Did you click on my stock page? Were you shocked by the amount?"

It shouldn't be that bad. The area where her house is located is worth at least eight figures. She's not someone who hasn't seen the world.

"I wasn't looking at your stocks~" She turned the page she was looking at to show him, "I see a familiar name, this is Lisa, isn't she the one who called you at noon? You said she's your colleague."

Yan Zhixu glanced at it, his eyes momentarily pausing, but he quickly regained his composure, placed the bowl full of noodles back in front of her, and said, "Well, I didn't chat with her much, and if I did, it was all work-related. You can look if you want."

Liang Liangwei was very observant; she naturally didn't miss the fleeting unease in the man's eyes.

But she was also smart. Given that their relationship wasn't completely stable yet, she definitely couldn't recklessly look into his privacy, for fear that she might inadvertently offend him.

She pressed the screen-off button on her phone, handed it back to him, and laughed, "Don't try to test me. I just happened to hear her name from you, so I was a little curious, but only a little. Since I know you're talking about work, I'm not interested."

Yan Zhixu also served himself a bowl of noodles. After hearing her words, he chuckled and raised his chin: "Eat."

"Mmm." She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

After finishing their meal, the two left the restaurant.

Yan Zhixu glanced at her wristwatch; it was 7 o'clock.

"You're still working overtime so late?"

Liang Liangwei: "Yes, a client is coming over at 7:30 to discuss her wedding makeup for next month. She has to work during the day, so she can only come over after she gets off work in the evening."

There are many details to discuss at a wedding, so it usually involves face-to-face communication.

Yan Zhixu took her hand and slowly walked towards where he had parked his car: "What time will you finish?"

Liang Liangwei: "It's 9 o'clock, how late are you going to work overtime?"

Yan Zhixu: "That's about right. Send me a message when it's over and I'll come pick you up."

What a coincidence! She finished texting him, and he was able to come over right away?

Liang Liangwei blinked, looked at him, and smiled, "President Yan, this extra shift wasn't a last-minute decision, was it?"

Yan Zhixu chuckled and gave an ambiguous answer: "It can be postponed to tomorrow, but if we do it tonight, tomorrow will be easier."

Sure enough~

She smiled, a warm feeling welling up inside her, and gently shook their clasped hands.

The restaurant wasn't far from her office building, and the two chatted along the way, arriving quickly.

Standing where he parked, she checked the time on her phone: 7:15. She could still spend a little more time with him.

Looking around, I saw that this was the city center business district, bustling and prosperous. Even though it was late at night, there were still many people working overtime in the nearby workplaces, and people passed by from time to time.

She wanted to kiss him, but she couldn't bring herself to do it in front of everyone on the street.

Moreover, if she were seen by someone she knew in the same building, she was afraid she would be teased to death.

Perhaps it was because her eagerness to steal was too obvious, the man looking down at her suddenly chuckled.

He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, leaned closer to her, and whispered in her ear, his low, magnetic voice carrying a mischievous, light laugh: "How about we go to the car? Nobody will be able to see us then."
