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

Upon hearing these words on the phone, Liang Liangwei was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

After the diamond necklace incident was exposed online, she had a premonition that her family would send someone to find her.

The timing was about what she expected.

I just didn't expect to follow her here. They must have come with her when she went out at noon.

She even knew to call her after she finished eating with her friends; she's such a nice person.

She took a few steps to the side and lowered her voice, saying, "I'll go back with you, but not now. I have an appointment with a friend this afternoon."

"Sure, how long will it take, Miss?"

Liang Liangwei: "Wait for my notification."

"Okay, my car is waiting for you in the parking lot."

"Ah."

Liang Liangwei hung up the phone and walked back. Gu Cheng noticed that she looked strange when she answered the phone and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Do you have something to do and need to leave first?"

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "It's okay, the date will go ahead as planned. The movie starts in 40 minutes, let's go buy a drink first."

Seeing that she said that, Gu Cheng was relieved and happily took her hand and walked inside: "Let's go then."

By the time the two finished watching the movie and getting their nails done, it was already past 4 p.m.

After finishing what they had agreed to do, Gu Cheng was still a little reluctant to part. She really enjoyed spending time with Liang Liangwei. The two of them always had endless topics to talk about. They were usually busy with their own work and it was difficult to get together. Since they were able to meet today, they naturally wanted to spend as much time as possible together.

She suggested, "Shall we eat together later?"

Liang Liangwei: "No, someone is waiting for me. I have to go home."

Thinking of the phone call she received, Gu Cheng guessed, "Your boyfriend?"

Liang Liangwei paused for a moment, then said, "No, it's my dad."

Gu Cheng said "Oh," with some regret, "Well, okay, we'll have to make it another time."

The two said goodbye and went their separate ways.

Liang Liangwei took the elevator to the second basement level of the mall. She checked the text message she received on her phone and followed the instructions to her parking space.

A black Hongqi car was discreetly parked in a corner. The person inside was very perceptive and saw her coming from afar. He got out of the car and waited beside her.

When she got closer, he stepped forward to take the shopping bag from her hand: "Good afternoon, Miss."

Liang Liangwei didn't offer it, and politely said, "I can take it myself, thank you."

She didn't refuse when the other person opened the car door for her, and bent down to get in.

The car slowly drove out of the garage and left the mall.

Liang Liangwei looked outside. It was snowing when she went out at noon, and the snow had lessened a bit when she saw Gu Yan off at the mall, but it had stopped now, and everything was white.

The road surface became very slippery, and the car was moving very slowly.

She looked away and glanced at the driver in front, whose face seemed unfamiliar: "Are you new here?"

"Yes, I've only been here for two months."

Liang Liangwei: "Did that guy retire?"

"He's been transferred."

Liang Liangwei: "How did you recognize me?"

"The commander gave me your photo."

Soldiers have excellent eyesight; finding someone from a photo is not difficult for them.

Liang Liangwei didn't ask any more questions. Estimating that it would take about an hour to get home given the road conditions, she closed her eyes for a short rest.

Yan Zhixu got up early in the morning.

He is adaptable and adjusted to the time difference after just one night and two nights of sleep.

After my run, I went upstairs to take a shower, changed my clothes, and came downstairs feeling refreshed.

Today is Sunday, and he can rest for another day, so he changed into a light-colored casual outfit and leisurely came to the kitchen.

The two elderly members of the Zhou family were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

Upon seeing her, Madam Zhou waved to him and said with a smile, "Ah Xu is down? Come and have breakfast."

Yan Zhixu walked over and sat down next to the two elderly people: "Good morning, Grandpa and Grandma."

Mr. Zhou looked at him and said, "Did you stay up late again last night?"

Yan Zhixu: "How did you know?"

Mr. Zhou: "I got up in the middle of the night and saw you coming down to find something to eat."

Yan Zhixu: "I just didn't eat enough last night, and I got hungry during the night."

Mr. Zhou: "Can hunger wake you up?"

Yan Zhixu smiled and didn't refute, "I'll go to bed earlier from now on."

Old Madam Zhou felt sorry for him, so she peeled an egg for him and put it in his bowl, saying, "Your grandfather is just concerned about you. You should go to bed early."

Yan Zhixu: "Yes, I know."

He slowly made himself a sandwich, took a big bite after finishing, chewed and swallowed, and then drank some milk.

He hesitated for a moment, glanced at the phone next to him, swiped on it a couple of times, but didn't see what he wanted to see, and frowned.

Old Madam Zhou noticed and clicked her tongue, saying, "I was just talking to you. Why are you still checking your work phone so early in the morning? Can't you eat your breakfast properly first?"

Yan Zhixu withdrew her gaze and said, "No, I'm checking the time."

Old Mrs. Zhou: "Who are you trying to fool? Look at the time, isn't there a watch?"

Yan Zhixu smiled and took another bite of the sandwich.

Madam Zhou: "If you keep doing this, I'll have to use my ultimate move."

Yan Zhixu looked at her, somewhat curious: "What's your secret technique?"

Madam Zhou smiled mischievously: "You only think about work before you close your eyes and when you open them, that's because you're single. Once you have a girl by your side, let's see if you'll still have the mind to talk about work all the time!"

Yan Zhixu paused, her eyes flickered slightly, and as if she had thought of something, the corners of her lips curled up.

"Dating? Will you lose focus on work if you start dating?"

Madam Zhou snorted, glanced at her husband, and said meaningfully, "Anyway, when your grandfather was pursuing me, he was always late for buying me breakfast and got his perfect attendance bonus deducted."

Yan Zhixu also looked at Mr. Zhou opposite her and smiled: "Grandpa is quite romantic."

Old Mr. Zhou blushed and said irritably, "That happened so many years ago, why bring it up again? We're talking about your precious grandson now. If he doesn't find someone soon, he'll become an old bachelor!"

Yan Zhixu was both amused and exasperated.

Madam Zhou: "Yes, yes, Ah Xu, before you returned to China, your grandfather contacted your father and said that they would arrange for you to meet a girl after you returned. Did you meet her?"

Yan Zhixu: "No, I refused."

Old Mrs. Zhou: "Why? You're already this old, don't you have any thoughts about finding a girl?"

Yan Zhixu's expression softened, and she said, "I hadn't thought about it before, but now..."

Seeing that things were looking promising, Madam Zhou was overjoyed and quickly asked, "How is it going now? Has he agreed to let me make the arrangements for you?"

Yan Zhixu: "Let's forget about the arrangements. You don't need to bother with that anymore. When I was in China..."

Thinking of the woman on the other side of the ocean, he smiled and said, "I've met someone I like, and we're already talking."

Madam Zhou's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Yan Zhixu nodded: "It's true, that's why I rejected my dad."

Old Madam Zhou: "What kind of girl is she?"

“Very…” Yan Zhixu leaned back, tilted her head to think for a moment, a soft smile on her lips, and said, “A girl I really like.”
