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

She stared at the photo for a while before exiting and texting the man: "How much did you drink? Your face is all red."

Over there, following Yan Zhixu's instructions, Xu Chaofeng found an angle where the two women wouldn't be visible in the shot, took a picture, and sent it to Liang Liangwei. After sending it, she returned to her seat with her phone and handed it back to Yan Zhixu.

"President Yan, the photos have been sent."

Yan Zhixu responded and continued listening to what others were saying.

A while later, he glanced at his phone casually and saw a new message from the woman asking him how much he had drunk.

He chuckled lightly, put down his wine glass, and was about to pick up his phone.

Suddenly, one of the women at the table appeared beside him with a wine glass in hand. She held out her glass and clinked it against his, which he had just put down, and said in a coquettish voice, "Mr. Yan, why did you put down your glass as soon as you saw me? Were you teasing me on purpose?"

The men at the table laughed, all looking at them with mocking eyes.

Yan Zhixu immediately turned off his phone screen, frowned almost imperceptibly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Drinking is fine, but no one needs to come over. Please go back to your seat."

The woman was a little embarrassed, but she still maintained her smile and said, "I'm already here, Mr. Yan, you wouldn't send me away, would you? I respect you."

She tilted her head back and drank the wine in her glass in one gulp, then gestured for Yan Zhixu to see.

Yan Zhixu didn't even glance at him, his eyes indifferently turning to the CEO of the partner company: "President Cha, is this someone you arranged? What position does he hold in your company? Was his special visit to offer a toast also arranged by your company?"

Seeing his serious expression, Mr. Cha's smile faded slightly. He said, "She's an employee of my company's public relations department. She's pretty, so she often comes with me to entertain clients. But since President Yan has come all the way from Huacheng, and the table is too monotonous with only men, I found two public relations staff to accompany you for drinks. President Yan... do you mind?"

Yan Zhixu casually fiddled with his phone, and said with a smile, "I'm just in a bit of a predicament. Before coming here, I texted my girlfriend who's far away at home, assuring her that there would be only men at the dinner table tonight. I didn't expect this to happen, and now it seems like I lied to my girlfriend."

President Cha raised an eyebrow, not expecting him to say that. He was speechless for a moment, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "I didn't expect President Yan to be so... devoted to his girlfriend. My apologies."

He winked at the woman, who pouted but still swayed her hips and went back to her seat.

Looking at Yan Zhixu's noble and handsome face, the business partner smiled and said, "I'm quite curious, the girlfriend that Mr. Yan can still think about so much while he's so far away from home must be a beautiful young lady?"

Yan Zhixu smiled slightly and said, "It is beautiful, of course, but for me, that is secondary."

Mr. Cha raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Is she a talented woman? I'm even more curious then. I must introduce you to her when I have the chance."

Yan Zhixu glanced indifferently at the two women sitting some distance away, a mocking smile playing on her lips, but she didn't respond.

Liang Liangwei waited for a long time, until she was sleepy, before finally receiving Yan Zhixu's response.

[Just a few glasses of red wine; the port city is quite humid, and just one glass was enough to make me drunk.]

Liang Liangwei yawned. She had already washed up and gone to bed, and was replying to him while lying in bed.

[Is it over? Before you go back to the hotel, remember to ask Assistant Xu to buy you some hangover medicine, otherwise you'll definitely feel unwell tomorrow morning.]

Yan Zhixu: [It's almost over, let him buy it in a bit.]

Liang Liangwei thought to herself, "He's really smart. He drinks and socializes while leaving an assistant to stay sober and take care of him at any time."

She was lost in thought for a moment when the man sent another message, this time a voice message, which she listened to.

The man's voice was low and husky: "Weiwei, what are you doing?"

The sound... at night, in bed, transmitted through electronic devices, added a touch of allure, inexplicably making one blush and feel their heart race.

She closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, pressed the voice button, and softly replied, "Nothing happened, getting ready for bed~"

The man chuckled: "Lying in bed now? Trying to seduce me?"

She asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

The man said lazily, "It feels like talking while lying in bed."

So... shrewd!

However—"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't flirt with you at all. I was already in bed with you when you replied to me."

"Where are you? Is anyone around? Aren't you afraid of being overheard talking nonsense?"

Yan Zhixu: "Who heard this?"

Liang Liangwei lowered her voice: "Assistant Xu or something like that."

Yan Zhixu: "Oh, I was in the car. He wasn't next to me, he was... in front of me."

Liang Liangwei: "..."

What's the difference between that and what's right next to you? You hear everything you should and shouldn't hear.

Yan Zhixu seemed to know why she was silent, and chuckled, "Don't worry, the rented car has a partition. If you lower it, he won't be able to hear you."

Liang Liangwei felt slightly relieved, but then sensed something was amiss and asked irritably, "Did he buy you medicine?"

Yan Zhixu obediently replied, "I told him that he will stop at the pharmacy when he sees it."

Liang Liangwei rolled over and lay flat on her back, saying, "I have something to tell you. After you return to Huacheng, two of my best friends want to have dinner with you. Can you spare some time?"

Yan Zhixu was somewhat surprised, but quickly realized that she was trying to bring him into her circle of friends.

He softened his expression and said, "Yes, you can arrange it. I'm available anytime."

Liang Liangwei was delighted: "I thought you wouldn't be willing to come."

Yan Zhixu: "Why do you think that?"

Liang Liangwei: "You don't seem to really enjoy these kinds of parties."

His aloof personality, and his somewhat intimidating stern expression, make him seem completely out of the sort of person who would accept invitations from several girls.

Yan Zhixu said softly, "I'm very happy to join your circle of friends, and I'd naturally be happy to go."

Liang Liangwei smiled.

Yan Zhixu then said, "After I've met your friend, I'll introduce you to my friend as well."

Liang Liangwei: "Okay."

Reciprocity and mutual integration

The two chatted idly for a while until he returned to the hotel and said he was going to take a shower, at which point the call ended.

After putting down her phone, Liang Liangwei rolled around in bed, having a good time.

She hugged the blanket, her pretty face flushed with excitement.

What to do? She feels herself falling more and more in love with him.

Even though they are now in different places and can't see each other, she can still feel that her heart is side by side with his, closely relying on each other.

If he hadn't come today, she could have remained as calm as she had the previous two days.

He actually showed up, without even a word, like a divine being descending upon the land.

That jerk, sob sob... He doesn't play by the rules, he's willful and domineering, completely disregarding her longing for him. He comes and goes as he pleases, and after all this commotion, she misses him even more!
