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

Shortly after hanging up the phone, Lan Yin sent a WeChat message: "[Sister Wei, I'm going to order food later. What would you like to eat?]"

Liang Liangwei: [No need to order anymore, someone has already made it for us. We'll eat first and then go to the film set.]

Half an hour later, Liang Liangwei and Lan Yin were sitting on the sofa studying and comparing the latest popular makeup techniques for injuries online when there was a knock on the door.

Lan Yin quickly stood up and said, "Is the food delivery here? I'll go open the door."

Upon opening the door, a tall, handsome man stood outside, dressed in light-colored casual clothes. His shoulder-length, tousled hair was half-tied back, and he had a handsome face. He wore brown-tinted glasses and exuded a fashionable and avant-garde aura.

Lan Yin was stunned for a moment, thinking that her idol Ido had knocked on the wrong door, and stammered, "Y-you... hello, who are you looking for?"

The handsome man looked her up and down, somewhat uncertain: "I don't know who I'm looking for either."

Lan Yin blushed under his gaze: "You...is there something you need?"

The handsome man took a step back, looked up at the room number, and muttered to himself with a hint of doubt, "Room 588, that's you. I'm here to deliver food."

Lan Yin looked incredulous. Are all food delivery guys this handsome now?

Liang Liangwei heard the sound too, got up and walked over to the man by the door, and said, "Hello, are you delivering food?"

The handsome man turned to look at Liang Liangwei, his eyes showing amazement. At the same time, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, picked up the lunchbox in his hand, and said with a smile, "Yes, two customized lunches, please enjoy."

Liang Liangwei gestured for Lan Yin to take it: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The handsome man handed the lunchbox to Lan Yin, then put his hands in his pockets and looked at Liang Liangwei with great interest.

Liang Liangwei frowned and turned back to the living room.

Seeing this, Lan Yin also whispered her thanks to the handsome man, closed the door, and followed him into the living room.

"Sister Wei, why did that person act so strangely just now?"

Liang Liangwei tidied up the items on the table to make it easier for her to put her lunchbox and prepare to eat: "It is a bit strange."

Lan Yin smiled and said, "But he's so handsome, like a celebrity. He must be a deliveryman."

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "His clothes cost at least five figures."

Where can I afford to buy a delivery service?

Lan Yin gasped in astonishment: "Five...five figures?!"

Liang Liangwei picked up a piece of tender cod: "If you want to break into the fashion industry, you need to improve your familiarity with brands~"

Lan Yin stuck out her tongue: "Oh, I see."

Thinking about it, it seems unbelievable: "Then why would he be running errands and delivering food?"

Liang Liangwei was speechless: "That means he wasn't just running errands!"

Lan Yin pointed to the meals on the coffee table: "But he brought these meals."

Liang Liangwei seemed thoughtful, then picked up her phone and sent Yan Zhixu a photo of lunch on the coffee table: [Received lunch, eating now~ (heart)]

At the same time, the man outside the door took out his phone and sent a cryptic WeChat message: "The person you asked me to deliver food to is really beautiful. Who is she to you?"

A short while later, the other party replied: "[Are you delivering food?]"

Man: [Yes, I delivered it personally. That's giving you a lot of face.]

The other party: [Didn't you say anything unnecessary?]

Man: [I've said a few things, but whether they were superfluous depends on the other person's identity. Is she your girlfriend?]

The other party—Yan Zhixu: [Hmm.]

Man: [You have great taste! What a beauty! Where did you find her? Introduce me to one too!]

After waiting for a long time without any response, the man wasn't annoyed. He just smiled smugly and left.

Yan Zhixu exited the chat window with Qi Yang, opened Liang Liangwei's, and saw the exquisite pictures of dishes sent by the other side. His thin lips curled slightly.

Eat more, and don't cause any more problems like last time.

He was referring to the incident in Shacheng where Liang Liangwei mistakenly developed gastritis and ended up in the wrong hospital because she ate the wrong thing.

Liang Liangwei: [Okay, I'm trying my best to eat~ Have you eaten yet?]

Yan Zhixu: [Soon, Assistant Xu has already ordered the food.]

Liang Liangwei: [You should eat well too~]

Yan Zhixu's eyes softened: [Okay.]

In the afternoon, Yan Zhixu left work early and returned to the old house.

The old man was sitting in the flower hall, playing chess with Yan Yunting.

Yan Zhixu walked over: "Dad, Big Brother."

The two stopped their game and looked up at each other.

Yan Yunting nodded at him: "You're back?"

Yan Zhixu nodded slightly.

Yan Yunting: "Would you like to play a few rounds with Dad too?"

Yan Zhixu sat down as instructed.

The father and son were very casual; they didn't rearrange the chessboard but continued playing from the old position.

When it was Yan Zhixu's turn, he thought for a moment and then picked up his piece.

The old man frowned and snorted, "You brat, even your older brother knows to keep a low profile, but you're so ostentatious. Aren't you afraid of attracting unwanted attention?"

Yan Zhixu said lightly, "Big brother was just being lenient with you."

Yan Yunting coughed lightly: "No."

Yan Zhixu chuckled softly but remained silent.

The old man also took a step forward, glancing at his youngest son: "Don't think that just because you deliberately brought up a topic, I won't ask you—have you been busy at work this week?"

Yan Zhixu: "It's alright."

The old man asked, "So you're very busy? How's it going with your pursuit of that girl? Has she forgiven you yet?"

Yan Zhixu said in a cold tone, "I just sat down and haven't even had a sip of tea yet, and you're already asking questions. Are you trying to get rid of me?"

The old man was furious at his nonchalant attitude and grabbed the ebony cane next to him, swinging it at him.

"If you hadn't always been so dismissive of me, would I be like this?"

Yan Zhixu endured this defeat, and at the same time took another step forward: "If you don't go back to defend, I'll eat you up."

Old man: “…”

After walking another ten steps or so, the old man lost the game. He slowly set up the chessboard again, and then, as if thinking of something, he suddenly said, "It's a pity that Weiwei isn't coming this week, otherwise I would have another person to play chess with."

Yan Zhixu paused for a moment while placing the chess pieces, then continued.

Yan Yunting said gently, "It's not appropriate to have someone come over every week."

The old man sighed softly, "I understand, but I feel a little regretful. That girl is quite skilled at chess and also very eloquent. I quite enjoy playing chess and chatting with her."

Yan Yunting: "Let's invite her over once Bei'an's relationship with her has stabilized a bit more."

The old man nodded.

Yan Zhixu lowered his eyes and remained silent, his expression slightly serious, lost in thought.

The old man looked up towards the gate and said, "Another car has driven in. Is Bei'an back?"

Yan Yunting also looked over, and his wife's figure flashed by: "It should be."

The old man stood up and said, "Then everyone has arrived. Let's go eat."

The father and his two sons walked towards the front hall together and, sure enough, saw Yan Beian and his mother coming from the garage.

"Grandpa, Dad, Uncle."

The old man nodded.

Yan Yunting frowned: "Why are you only coming back now? You're the latest one here."

Yan Bei'an wasn't in a very good mood: "It's rush hour, there was a bit of traffic on the road."

He glanced at Yan Zhixu subconsciously, just as Yan Zhixu was looking at him. Their eyes met for a moment, then he flinched and looked away first.

Yan Bei'an remained unmoved.

Xiao Ling: "Next time, leave work earlier. Your dad is right. Grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time. Everyone is hungry. Let's eat first."
