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

Gu Yan patiently waited for his younger sister, Gu Cheng, to finish taking photos. Only when he saw her looking through the photos one by one did he say, "Is that enough? Can't you think about the guests too, instead of your own belly?"

Gu Cheng stuck out her tongue, quickly put down her phone, and picked up her chopsticks: "Okay, okay, Weiwei, come on, let's start eating, or your brother will start yelling at you."

Liang Liangwei smiled and helped take out her chopsticks: "Okay, let's eat!"

Although the meal started awkwardly, it proceeded relatively harmoniously, with the two girls mostly chatting about topics that interested them, and Gu Yan occasionally chiming in.

After finishing their meal, Gu Yan put on his mask, got up to pay the bill, and then the three of them left.

Liang Liangwei: "Teacher Gu, thank you for spending money tonight."

Gu Yan smiled slightly: "You're too kind. You've been with the crew all day, you must be tired. Consider this a reward."

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "I noticed a milk tea shop next door when I came here. I'll go buy some. What would you like to drink, Teacher Gu?"

Gu Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Lemon tea."

Gu Cheng: "I want mango pomelo sago."

Liang Liangwei: "Okay, I'll be back in a bit."

She walked toward the shop next door.

Gu Yan looked at his younger sister, frowned, and asked, "Why didn't you come with her? Should we let her go by herself?"

Gu Cheng stared straight at him, a mischievous smile on her face, and asked, "Brother, tell me honestly, have you fallen for Weiwei?"

Gu Yan's expression hardened, and he said in a low voice, "What nonsense are you spouting—"

Gu Cheng: "Am I talking nonsense? You pretended you didn't see me while we were eating, but when I was talking to Weiwei, you kept staring at her and spoke much more gently than usual. Wasn't that because she was there?"

Gu Yan chuckled: "So obvious?"

Gu Cheng's eyes widened: "You admit it?"

Gu Yan coughed lightly and said, "Don't tell anyone else, not even her, and definitely not your family. We're nothing yet."

Gu Cheng chuckled: "I know, it's not even close to being a done deal yet~ But bro, don't back down, if you like her, just say so, you have to try your best to pursue her, Weiwei is so pretty and charming, if you're a step too late someone else might beat you to it, you know?"

Gu Yan chuckled: "I know what I'm doing."

Gu Cheng: "What sense of propriety? Didn't you say she was only staying on set for two days? How are you going to contact her after she leaves?"

Gu Yan: "I have my own way. Okay, that's enough. She's back."

Liang Liangwei brought over the drinks and distributed them to them.

Liang Wenyi called at that moment. She answered and frowned after hearing what he said: "Are you in such a hurry to leave? I thought you would stay a couple more days."

Liang Wenyi: "The mission is urgent, and we still need to negotiate some things with people."

Liang Liangwei knew the nature of his work, so she didn't ask any more questions. She said, "But I can't leave tomorrow. I'm not even in Huacheng, so I can't see you off. If it were the day after tomorrow, that would be fine. I can change my flight to tomorrow night to go back."

Liang Wenyi: "You're on a business trip?"

Liang Liangwei: "Yes, I took the order from Haicheng and I'm in Haicheng now."

Liang Wenyi clicked his tongue lightly: "You're busier than me."

Liang Liangwei laughed and said, "How could I dare compare to you? You're such a high-flying acrobat!"

Liang Wenyi: "If you ever have the chance to come to the United States, remember to contact me."

Liang Liangwei: "Why would I go abroad for no reason?"

Liang Wenyi smiled mysteriously: "Perhaps there will be an opportunity. Remember this for now."

Liang Liangwei replied perfunctorily, "Okay, I'll remember."

Liang Wenyi: "Take good care of yourself."

"Yeah, you too."

The brother and sister said goodbye and hung up the phone.

When Liang Liangwei looked up, she saw the brother and sister opposite her looking at her with the same thoughtful gaze.

She was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Cheng asked tentatively, "Is he your boyfriend?"

Liang Liangwei blinked and chuckled: "No, it's my brother. He's leaving the country tomorrow. He wanted to ask if I had time to see him off at the airport, but unfortunately, I'm not in Huacheng, so I can't."

Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and let out a long "Oh": "I thought—"

Liang Liangwei smiled, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and said nothing more, lowering her head to drink her matcha iced coffee.

She didn't notice the deep, unfathomable look in Gu Yan's eyes.

Back at the hotel, she took off her clothes, changed into pajamas, removed her makeup, washed up, and lay down on the bed before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Actually, going out to eat with people is tiring, especially after a long day of work.

Now that she's relaxed, her eyelids are drooping, and she feels languid, as if she could fall asleep any second.

The phone suddenly rang.

She lifted her eyelids, picked up her phone, and saw it was Yan Zhixu calling. She immediately perked up, turned over, and answered the phone in a sweet, soft voice: "Hello~"

Yan Zhixu's low, husky voice came through: "At the hotel?"

Liang Liangwei: "Yeah, I was just about to rest~ What about you?"

Yan Zhixu: "Just got home."

Liang Liangwei: "Socializing?"

Yan Zhixu replied lazily, "Mm."

Liang Liangwei: "Have you been drinking?"

Yan Zhixu: "Mm."

He must have drunk quite a bit, he only answers questions with a few words.

She bit her lower lip lightly and asked, "With whom?"

The man chuckled lightly: "Checking up on him? It's a bit late, he's already home. You should have checked up earlier."

Liang Liangwei stubbornly replied, "I wasn't checking up on you, I was just asking casually."

She heard the sound of a door opening and closing on the other end of the phone, followed by rustling sounds. She also heard a familiar... metallic sound, and her mind instantly recalled a scene from a dream. Her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

"I had dinner with your brother tonight. He's leaving tomorrow, and he asked me to have a few drinks with him."

Liang Liangwei felt a surge of nervousness: "Huh? You ate together? What did you talk about?"

Yan Zhixu paused for a moment, then murmured, "Wait a minute, I need to take off my clothes. It's inconvenient to use one hand."

Then came more rustling sounds, and after a moment the man's voice rang out again: "Take it off, and continue—what did you ask?"

Liang Liangwei grinned and said, "Why don't you take a shower first?"

Yan Zhixu: "It's alright, continue. You asked me what we talked about? We talked about—I told him that I wanted him to be my brother-in-law, so that he could trust me."

Liang Liangwei's face flushed instantly, and she stammered, "Why...why are you telling him this?"

Yan Zhixu said innocently, "Wasn't this to put his mind at ease? Otherwise, why do you think he invited me to dinner?"

Liang Liangwei was speechless. She heard the man's laughter and really wanted to go over and tickle him!

"Just ignore him."

Yan Zhixu chuckled: "He's your brother, how could you ignore him?"

Liang Liangwei remained silent, because it was indeed the case.

Yan Zhixu abruptly changed the subject, asking, "Who's having dinner with you tonight?"

Liang Liangwei: "A friend, someone I've worked with before, came to Haicheng today and we arranged to have dinner together."

Yan Zhixu asked quietly, "A man?"

Liang Liangwei chuckled: "A woman? How could you have thought she was a man?"

Remembering that the man was unhappy that morning because he saw Gu Yan looking at her in the photo, she didn't want to cause him any more trouble, so she didn't mention that Gu Yan had also eaten with them.

There was a moment of silence on Yan Zhixu's end.

The sudden silence was quite unsettling.

Liang Liangwei: "What's wrong?"

Yan Zhixu said calmly, "It's nothing. I'm going to take a shower. You should get some rest. See you tomorrow."

Liang Liangwei hurriedly said, "I'll return it tomorrow—"

Yan Zhixu: "Good night."

Liang Liangwei: "..." She actually hung up the phone!

He must be drunk to act like this. "See you tomorrow," huh? I wonder if he'll even remember what he said when he wakes up tomorrow!

On the other end of the line, Yan Zhixu looked down at the phone that had already been disconnected, his expression inscrutable.

After a while, he called Xu Chaofeng and said in a nonchalant tone, "Change my flight from Gangcheng tomorrow morning to Haicheng. I have something to do and will be staying in Haicheng for 3 hours. Go to Gangcheng and wait for me."
