The little rose is so sweet and alluring, even the aloof CEO can't resist!

When Liang Liangwei arrived at the restaurant that Yan Bei'an had arranged, it was 5 minutes before 6 o'clock.

This was the fastest she could get there by leaving get off work early; there were just too many cars on the road during rush hour.

Upon entering the restaurant, she gave her name, Yan Bei'an, and the waiter led her to her table.

Yan Beian hadn't arrived yet, so she sat down first, took off her coat and hung it up before calling him.

How much longer until you get there?

Several car horns blared from Yan Bei'an's direction: "It'll be another ten minutes or so, we're completely stuck in traffic."

Liang Liangwei said coolly, "Serves you right. Who told you to choose such a high-traffic location in the city center?"

Yan Bei'an: "This restaurant has delicious food and is very popular. I brought you here to enjoy the food, and you still have so many complaints. If you're hungry, you can order first, you don't have to wait for me."

Yanbei Anxuan's restaurant is indeed very well-known in Huacheng. It has an excellent environment and fresh and expensive food. Many CEOs of large companies choose to entertain guests here.

She had afternoon tea and wasn't actually hungry, but waiting alone was a bit boring, so she called over a waiter and ordered a bowl of snow frog porridge.

Thinking about afternoon tea reminded me of the man who ordered it for her. He later replied on WeChat that he had gone out in the afternoon and had afternoon tea with a business partner elsewhere. Thinking of her, I ordered it for her too.

She rested her chin on her hand, eating half-heartedly, and couldn't help but smile.

He later said that he also had to have dinner with someone that evening, and he didn't know if he had gone to the appointment or where he was eating.

When Yan Beian came in, he saw the woman smiling foolishly, which, combined with her delicate and pretty face, made her quite adorable.

He couldn't help but glance at it a couple more times before sitting down opposite it.

Liang Liangwei pushed her empty bowl aside, pouted, and said, "We talked for more than ten minutes, but we were almost half an hour late."

Yan Beian: "It took me ages to find a parking space."

Liang Liangwei: "It is indeed hard to find. You're lucky if you can find it."

Yan Bei'an said sullenly, "I stopped at an intersection, I'll probably get a ticket."

Liang Liangwei: "..."

Yan Bei'an: "Your eye roll is practically going to the sky!"

Liang Liangwei expressionlessly grabbed at the air and then slapped her fist against her eyes: "Hmm, pulled it back and put it back in."

Yan Bei'an: "...Aren't you childish! Didn't you order anything?"

He flipped through the menu and beckoned to the waiter.

Liang Liangwei: No, I've already crocheted several items.

The waiter came over, Yan Beian ordered a few dishes, and then sent the waiter away.

He poured tea for Liang Liangwei: "Speak, what does Fang Xun want?"

Liang Liangwei: "Before talking about him, let's talk about something else first."

Yan Bei'an knew what she was going to say, and his brow twitched. Before he could speak, he saw her take the blue logo box to the table and push it toward him.

"I cannot accept a reward without merit; I will return this to you first."

Yan Bei'an looked at it, revealing an "I knew it" expression, clicked his tongue, and said, "I've already bought it, so just accept it. Why are you being so formal with me?"

Liang Liangwei: "No matter how close we are, I can't accept this. It's too valuable."

And it's diamond.

Her relationship with Yan Bei'an was not one where she could casually accept such items.

Yan Bei'an leaned back and said nonchalantly, "Whether something is valuable or not is determined by people. I just thought this brooch had a novel design and that you would like it, so I bought it for you. You probably have quite a few things in this price range, so just accept it as a regular accessory."

Liang Liangwei shook her head and smiled, "I decide how expensive the things I buy are, but this gift from you is a bit strange, it's like..."

She tilted her head and thought for a moment: "It's like we really had a relationship, and you, you jerk, insisted on breaking up with me, but you felt guilty, so you gave me a lavish gift to get rid of me."

"..." Yan Bei stared at her for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing and said, "Have you been reading too many news articles about scumbags? No, news stories are all about real life. Scumbags in real life don't give gifts after breaking up. You've probably been reading too many novels."

Liang Liangwei: "If you haven't read the novel, how do you know that the scumbags in the novel like to give gifts?"

Yan Bei'an choked: "I don't want to see... No, actually, this gift was asked by my mom to buy for you, didn't you know that? Yesterday at the mall, she sent WeChat messages to both you and me, asking me to go shopping with you. We didn't end up shopping, so I bought a gift as a way of replying to my mom. Otherwise, if she asks about the gift later and you can't come up with anything, she'll scold me to death, won't she?"

Liang Liangwei: "She didn't know we were going to 'break up' when she said that. If she had known, she definitely wouldn't have said that. So after you told her, and she found out that you bought me this gift, she would be even angrier and say that I did it for your money... Although I did do it for your money, it's a different matter."

She took what she was entitled to.

Seeing that Yan Bei'an was about to argue, she pushed the box towards him again and said, "If you don't take it back, I'll send it to your mother. When she asks me what happened, I'll say you broke up with her and she'll punish you!"

Yan Bei'an's mouth twitched: "You...you're so ruthless!"

Liang Liangwei smiled, pursing her lips.

Yan Beian had no choice but to take the box back and casually stuff it into his coat pocket.

The waiter brought the food, and the two began to eat.

They dined in the restaurant's main hall. Actually, the restaurant also had private rooms, but the private rooms were larger and were usually used for banquets.

Chen Xing and his group entered to meet at the private room, and were led forward by a waiter.

Liang Liangwei got up to go to the restroom, and when she came out, she ran right into him at the corner.

Her expression changed slightly, and she realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

Chen Xing recognized her, and was first surprised, then laughed: "Weiwei, you're eating here too?"

Liang Liangwei forced herself to greet him: "Good evening, Uncle Chen."

Chen Xing: "Good evening. It's been more than half a year since we last met. I didn't see you when I went to your dad's place last month. What have you been busy with lately?"

Liang Liangwei casually made up an excuse: "Me? I have nothing to do, so I'm just traveling around."

Chen Xing: "Hahaha... It's great to be young, you can do whatever you want, that's good. Are you coming with friends?"

Liang Liangwei nodded: "Yes, my friend is waiting for me."

Chen Xing: "Okay, then go ahead."

Thinking of something, Liang Liangwei added, "Uncle Chen, um... my dad doesn't really support me traveling around, and he doesn't know where I am, so when you meet my dad, could you please not tell him that you saw me tonight?"

Chen Xing asked thoughtfully, "You and your dad didn't have a fight about this, did you?"

Liang Liangwei: "A little. I told him I'd go back when I'd had enough fun, but he always thinks I'm always out and about and never home, so..."

Chen Xing said earnestly, "Your dad is just concerned about you. After all, you're a girl, and so are you. Be careful when you're out having fun, so he doesn't worry too much."

Liang Liangwei: "I know, I will be careful."

Chen Xing: "Okay, I won't tell your dad. Go have fun without worry."

Liang Liangwei: "Thank you, Uncle Chen."

Chen Xing watched the girl gracefully depart and narrowed his eyes.

Why does this outfit, this walking posture... look so much like that figure I saw at the Bosch branch today?

He looked away in confusion and walked towards the private room.

Pushing open the door to the private room, he smiled and said to the people inside, "Mr. Yan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting—"
