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

Liang Liangwei remained noncommittal, simply smiling as she tossed her hair.

This action caught Su Xiaorong's eye of the diamond watch on her wrist. Her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to take the watch from her wrist, marveling, "It's Van Sos's new diamond watch, a limited edition, worth 1.5 million. Was it a gift from him?"

Liang Liangwei let her look at her, nodding with a smile.

Su Xiaorong exclaimed enviously, "A choker worth over three million, a diamond watch worth over one million, and clothes worth six figures that you can wear as you please! My goodness, Weiwei, you've found a money god!"

Liang Liangwei tilted her head. God of Wealth? Hmm... more or less.

She knew that Su Xiaorong was also a wealthy girl from a family with a lot of money, and that her boyfriend was also extremely rich. She knew that she could afford everything Su Xiaorong had, so she didn't try to hide anything from her.

Su Xiaorong said with a stern face, "You said before that you could introduce us, it's been so long, have you forgotten about it?"

Liang Liangwei blinked innocently: "No, I've always kept it in mind, it's just that they've been too busy and have been on a business trip abroad these past few days."

Su Xiaorong was surprised: "Another business trip? You're such a busy person?"

Liang Liangwei rested her chin on her hand: "I am indeed quite busy."

I'm so busy I don't even have time to reply to messages.

After Su Xiaorong finished reviewing the expense reports with her, she had other things to do and left quickly.

Liang Liangwei tidied up the items on the table when her phone beeped with a WeChat notification. She glanced at it and saw that it was a message from Shen Zhengming with the name and location of a restaurant. What a coincidence, it was one of the restaurants she and Yan Zhixu had been to.

She replied with an OK emoji and was about to put down her phone when she suddenly remembered that she had promised Aunt Zhang that she would be back for dinner that evening before leaving home that morning. Now she had no choice but to break her promise.

She sent another message to Aunt Zhang, saying that she had something else to do that evening and wouldn't be home for dinner.

To avoid peak hours, she left work 15 minutes early, and Shen Zhengming hadn't arrived at the restaurant yet.

She gave Shen Zhengming's name, and the waiter led her to an empty seat. She first ordered a glass of orange juice.

Ten minutes later, Shen Zhengming arrived and sat down opposite her apologetically.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "It's rush hour, so this doesn't count as being late."

Shen Zhengming reflected on himself: "It's wrong to be later than girls."

Liang Liangwei: "If I hadn't left work 15 minutes early to come here, I would have been the one who was late."

Shen Zhengming: "But I arrived half an hour early."

Liang Liangwei: "...It's normal that your company is farther away than mine."

Shen Zhengming couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay, thank you for giving me an excuse. Have you ordered yet?"

Liang Liangwei: No.

Shen Zhengming gestured to the waiter to let the lady opposite him order first. The waiter understood and turned to Liang Liangwei.

Liang Liangwei flipped through the menu: "What would you like to eat?"

Shen Zhengming casually replied, "My tastes are similar to yours. You can order whatever you like; I can eat just as much."

Liang Liangwei raised an eyebrow and said, "But my tastes have changed a bit recently. I don't crave spicy food as much anymore and prefer lighter flavors. Can you accept that?"

The main reason is that Yan Zhixu eats light food and can only tolerate mild spiciness at most. After observing her a few times, she took the initiative to reduce her craving for spicy food, and after a while, it actually became a habit.

Even when she ate with Gu Cheng and his sister that day, she chose a hot pot with two broths.

Shen Zhengming was somewhat surprised. He raised an eyebrow, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then... could you order me one with chili?"

Liang Liangwei chuckled: "Is it so unfair to only have one? I'll order you another one."

She ordered five dishes, two of which were spicy.

The waiter left with the menu.

Shen Zhengming asked, "Why did you suddenly switch to a lighter diet?"

Liang Liangwei: "Once, I was on a business trip and had to go to the hospital because of a gastritis attack. Since then, I haven't dared to eat spicy food much."

Shen Zhengming frowned slightly: "So you can't take care of yourself?"

Liang Liangwei smiled casually: "It's all in the past. I've learned to take care of myself now. Can't you see I've adjusted my diet?"

Shen Zhengming: "You should have said so earlier. If you had, I wouldn't have let you order those two spicy dishes."

Liang Liangwei: "It's not that exaggerated. Besides, it was marked as mildly spicy. Eating a little bit won't hurt."

Shen Zhengming insisted, "You can't eat any at all. Aren't you going home often? You don't want the commander to see that you can't take care of yourself, do you?"

Liang Liangwei was helpless. This guy wasn't that much older than her, but when he got stubborn, he acted like a superior, bossing her around.

He's become a soldier, isn't he?

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

Soon, all the dishes were served. Shen Zhengming asked the waiter to place the spicy dishes in front of him and strictly forbade her from eating any, which made her laugh.

She didn't mind and happily ate the other three dishes.

Shen Zhengming: "Shall I peel the shrimp for you?"

He put on his gloves and made a gesture as if to hand her the peeled shrimp he was holding.

Liang Liangwei paused, then shook her head and laughed, "No need, I like to peel them myself with my teeth. I can peel one in 10 seconds, have you forgotten?"

Shen Zhengming smiled and said, "I remember."

As Liang Liangwei was eating, she suddenly felt a burning gaze on her. She glanced around without making a sound.

But no suspicious person was seen.

Could it be that she sensed something was wrong?

Shen Zhengming noticed her unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "I was being too sensitive. There were so many people in the restaurant, so many eyes glancing around, I mistakenly thought someone was looking at me, but no one was."

Shen Zhengming's sharp eyes swept across the crowd, but he didn't find anyone he could identify, so he looked away.

After dinner, the two went their separate ways home.

Liang Liangwei returned to Yan Zhixu's place today.

After entering the house, she opened the refrigerator and saw that it was full of fresh vegetables, which she guessed Zhang Sao had bought but hadn't had a chance to cook today.

I felt a little guilty.

All that fresh ingredients was for nothing.

But we can't waste it.

After thinking about it, she decided to take a day off tomorrow and stay here without going anywhere.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare three meals a day.

So she sent a WeChat message to Aunt Zhang: "Aunt Zhang, I'm back at Yan Zhixu's place. I saw the groceries you bought. I'm off tomorrow, so come over for lunch and we can cook and eat together."

Aunt Zhang quickly replied via voice message: "Okay, Miss Liang, I'll come over early tomorrow at noon to make it."

Liang Liangwei: [Okay~]

Aunt Zhang: "I prepared bird's nest soup for Miss Liang and kept it warm in the steamer. Miss Liang, please remember to eat it later."

Liang Liangwei turned to look at the steamer, which was indeed showing that it was keeping warm, with steam covering the transparent lid.

Liang Liangwei: [Thank you, I saw it, I'll eat in a bit.]

She took some cherries and grapes from the refrigerator, washed them, put them in a fruit bowl, and carried them upstairs.

After taking a shower, I returned to the bedside and took out a hairdryer to dry my hair.

Stop blowing when the phone is about 80% dry, turn your head to look at the phone next to you, and step forward to turn on the screen.

Still no news.

By now, even if he's a heavy sleeper, he should be awake by now, right?

What happened to our promise to go for a morning run rain or shine?

I chatted with her before my morning run yesterday~

She lowered her eyes, put her phone back, and decided to ignore him; her hair and skincare routine was more important.
