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

After finishing her social engagements that evening, Yan Zhixu returned to the hotel with Xu Chaofeng.

Xu Chaofeng was driving, and he was dozing off in the back seat with his eyes closed, thinking about his work schedule after returning to Huacheng the next day.

Suddenly, the itinerary, which should have been clear and straightforward, inexplicably transformed into the face of a beautiful woman.

The woman looked at him with a coquettish smile, her eyes gentle and sweet, her lips curving as she called him "Uncle" one moment and "President Yan" the next.

Uncle, what's your WeChat ID?

[Mr. Yan, which room are you staying in?]

How many times have we met today?

The words, which seemed to still echo in her ears, made Yan Zhixu suddenly open her eyes and sit up straight.

Xu Chaofeng glanced at him in the rearview mirror: "President Yan, what's wrong?"

Yan Zhixu felt thirsty and swallowed silently, then took the coat from the seat next to him and covered his legs with it.

"A little hot."

Xu Chaofeng is sweating. If you feel hot, why are you covering your legs with your jacket?

But whatever his boss says goes; he can't argue with him.

"Oh."

Yan Zhixu noticed it too, and her expression turned a little awkward, so she lifted her coat again.

He turned to look out the window: "Are we almost there?"

Xu Chaofeng: "There are about 10 minutes left. President Yan, you got up early this morning and have been busy all day. You must be tired. Go back to the hotel and get some rest."

Yan Zhixu: "Mm."

His phone rang, and he looked away from his phone to open WeChat. It was a message from Yan Bei'an.

Uncle, are you still in Shacheng?

Yan Zhixu: [How did you know I was in Shacheng?]

Yan Bei'an: [My girlfriend told me.]

Yan Zhixu immediately lost interest in talking to him and casually tossed her phone aside.

A moment later, his phone rang again, probably from Yan Bei'an. He hesitated for a moment, then picked it up.

Yan Bei'an: [If you're still in Shacheng, could you go to the hospital to check on her? She ate something wrong and her gastritis flared up. She's getting an IV drip at the hospital now, and no one's with her. I'm worried something might happen to her.]

Yan Zhixu frowned immediately after reading the contents.

He silently read the passage three times before looking up at Xu Chaofeng and saying, "My girlfriend in Bei'an is sick and hospitalized. Take me to the hotel first, then go to the hospital to help take care of her. After she finishes her IV drip, bring her back."

Xu Chaofeng was taken aback, but replied, "Okay."

Yan Zhixu looked down at her phone again; Yan Beian had already sent her the hospital's location.

He long-pressed the map until the operation box appeared on the page, and then sent the map to Xu Chaofeng's WeChat.

"I've sent you the address."

"Oh," Xu Chaofeng responded, then paused and asked curiously, "President Yan, what illness does Miss Liang have? Is it serious? She was able to come back directly without being hospitalized?"

Yan Zhixu frowned: "Gastritis, he's on an IV drip, but they didn't say he needed to be hospitalized, so it's probably not serious."

"Gastritis?" Xu Chaofeng clicked her tongue. "This condition isn't that serious. As long as you take good care of your stomach and avoid spicy foods, it usually won't cause any problems. But it can also be very serious. My cousin of mine suffers terribly from gastritis flare-ups. She's in so much pain that she's pale, sweating profusely, and completely weak, only able to lie down. It's quite pitiful to watch. The worst time she had a stomach hemorrhage and had to have surgery..."

Yan Zhixu's brow suddenly twitched: "Stomach bleeding?"

Xu Chaofeng: "Yes, I don't know what's wrong with Miss Liang. Most people can bear a stomachache by taking medicine, but if the pain is so bad that you have to go to the hospital for an IV drip, then it's really unbearable..."

Yan Zhixu pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Stop talking, just drive straight to the hospital."

Xu Chaofeng: "...Huh? Go now?"

Yan Zhixu glanced at him and he knew he had said something pointless, so he quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go right away!"

~

Half an hour later, Yan Zhixu arrived at the hospital, looking travel-worn. After asking around, he headed to the infusion hall on the second floor.

The infusion hall was spacious, and although it was evening, there were quite a few people sitting on chairs receiving IV drips, plus their companions, making it quite... lively.

Yan Zhixu squinted, searching for the person he was looking for among the patients. He quickly spotted the thin woman curled up in a chair at the back and walked over quickly.

Standing in front of the woman, he frowned and first glanced at the IV drip bottle, which still had a quarter full, before looking down at the woman.

She lowered her head slightly, her eyes were closed, her face was pale, she must have been sweating, and her hair was sticking to her cheeks.

The hand with the needle in it rested on the armrest, while the other hand covered her lower abdomen.

She was still wearing the same clothes she wore during the day, which were obviously too thin for the evening, no wonder she was curled up in a ball.

The aunt next to her saw a tall, handsome man standing in front of the little girl, staring at her intently, and asked, "Are you her friend? Oh dear, why did you take so long to arrive? She was sick on a business trip, and she's all alone, so pitiful."

Yan Zhixu felt a strange sensation welling up inside her. She nodded to her aunt and said simply, "I just received the message and came over immediately. Thank you for reminding me."

He took off his coat, bent down, and gently covered Liang Liangwei with it.

The aunt stared at his movements and asked with a smile, "Are you her boyfriend?"

Yan Zhixu frowned, about to deny it, when he saw Liang Liangwei move.

Liang Liangwei woke up the moment he covered her with a blanket. Noticing someone in front of her, she blinked and looked up. When she saw it was him, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up with joy: "Yan Zhixu, you're here?"

He's really here!

She only mentioned it to Yan Bei'an, and through her efforts to play the victim and coax him, Yan Bei'an agreed to try contacting his uncle.

But she wasn't sure, always feeling that Yan Zhixu would reject her outright and that she wouldn't be able to wait for him.

I only dozed off for a moment, and when I woke up he was already in front of me!

Great news!

Yan Zhixu's brows furrowed even more at her form of address. He instinctively wanted to retort, but his lips moved, and he held back, the words that came out being—

"How could you fall asleep while on an IV drip? The fluid is almost gone, do you want it to flow back?"

It wasn't a very kind tone, but at least they didn't abandon her, so they arrived just in time.

Liang Liangwei comforted herself like this, sniffed, and said somewhat aggrievedly, "I was so sleepy that I couldn't even keep my eyes open. Aunt Li said she would keep an eye on the water and wake me up if it ran out, so I was able to sleep peacefully."

Aunt Li nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I said I would help Weiwei keep an eye on things."

Yan Zhixu's expression softened, and after a pause, she asked again, "Are you feeling much better now?"

Liang Liangwei: "Yes, it doesn't hurt as much anymore."

Yan Zhixu: "Learn from this lesson next time and don't eat random things."

Liang Liangwei: "Oh."

She looked down at her coat, then looked up and saw that he was only wearing a white shirt underneath. She knew that he had put the coat over her, and her heart warmed.

"Are these your clothes?"

Yan Zhixu was checking the water level in her IV drip when she heard the question and gave a soft "hmm".

Liang Liangwei: "Thank you, please take it back and wear it, don't get cold."

Yan Zhixu looked down at her and said calmly, "You need it more now. Stop talking nonsense and cover yourself up properly!"

Liang Liangwei took the opportunity to touch the lining of the coat with her hand, feeling the delicate and soft woolen fabric.

The outer fabric was suit material, the inner fabric was wool, and the workmanship was exquisite and meticulous. It should have been an expensive handmade custom-made item, but now it was being used as a blanket to cover her.

He's quite considerate.

"Thank you."

Yan Zhixu's eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips, saying, "The water is almost gone, I'll go call the nurse."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Liang Liangwei watched him leave, and heard the aunt next to her say with an ambiguous look, "Your boyfriend seems very anxious, he must care about you a lot."

Liang Liangwei was overjoyed. "Auntie, if you can talk, please say more. I like hearing you say he's my boyfriend!"

She had to be polite on the surface, smiling and saying, "Auntie, please don't say that in front of him later, because he's pursuing me, and I haven't agreed yet."

The aunt chuckled: "Playing hard to get, huh? But a good girl like you, beautiful and gentle, is worth a boy's effort to pursue. Don't agree to him too quickly; enjoy the pleasure of being pursued!"

Liang Liangwei was somewhat surprised; it seemed this auntie had quite a bit of similar "life" experience.

She smiled and nodded, "I understand, thank you for reminding me, Auntie."

So, when Yan Zhixu returned with the nurse, he saw the woman with a smile on her face that resembled that of a little fox.
