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

Su Xiaorong revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

But the next moment, her expression suddenly turned strange.

This guy is Liang Liangwei's boyfriend. She just said in front of him that Liang Liangwei has suitors and even sent her flowers...

She glanced again at the tall, imposing figure, and remembering the cold look in his eyes, she realized he was clearly not someone to be trifled with. A chill ran down her spine.

Oh no! They'd been nagging Liang Liangwei to introduce their boyfriend to them, and now that they'd brought him along, she'd "offended" him... TAT

She glared at Lan Yin and asked, "He's clearly your boyfriend, why are you telling A Yue that he's Weiwei's new assistant?"

Lan Yin was puzzled by the glare and whispered, "I was just kidding. Sister Wei joked with me like that too."

Su Xiaorong: "So you already knew he was Weiwei's boyfriend?"

Lan Yin nodded.

Su Xiaorong rubbed her brow bone, looking helpless: "Alright, you guys keep going."

After saying that, she turned around and... slipped away.

While drinking her coffee, Liang Liangwei carefully observed Yan Zhixu's expression.

He shouldn't be angry anymore, right?

I wonder if she saw the message she sent earlier saying she would explain to him.

His expression was indifferent, revealing no emotion. The latte was placed aside, and he was fiddling with her DSLR camera with both hands.

His sudden departure without a word really startled her; she thought he had left in a huff.

They returned quickly, probably because they heard her say she would get food and drinks for the baby. Their coffee had arrived, and they couldn't very well drink it openly in front of the customers, so they went to the front desk to ask for juice and cake, and brought them over for the mother and child.

That's very thoughtful and considerate.

Her gaze shifted to the mother who was coaxing her baby to eat cake; the scene was very heartwarming, and she smiled in response.

Seeing Lan Yin coming from the door, she asked, "Who are you talking to at the door?"

Lan Yin glanced furtively at the silent Yan Zhixu and said, "It's Director Su."

Liang Liangwei guessed from Su Xiaorong's eyes that she had come here. Indeed, it was the first time she had ever brought a man to the company. Now the whole company was probably talking about it. It would be strange if that woman didn't ask.

Looking down at her phone, she opened WeChat and, sure enough, saw a message from Su Xiaorong: [Don't even think about escaping after work! I've called Gao Nan; let's meet your man together~]

She smiled, pursed her lips, and typed in reply: 【OK.】

After a short break, filming resumed.

In the second half, the baby got a little grumpy and needed several adults to patiently coax him. Liang Liangwei was afraid that Yan Zhixu would get impatient, so she handed over the task of helping to get the toys to Lan Yin, while Yan Zhixu only helped move the props.

During that time, she noticed that he went out again, but she assumed he was going to the restroom and didn't pay much attention.

He returned quickly, looking perfectly normal.

Around 4 p.m., the filming finally wrapped up. The mother said goodbye and left with her baby, while the others stayed behind to clean up.

After returning to her office, Liang Liangwei stretched and moved her neck.

Yan Zhixu put the DSLR back on the tripod, turned around and saw her swaying her hips from side to side, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you tired?"

Liang Liangwei nodded: "Yes, very..."

She was stunned when she suddenly saw a large bouquet of red roses on the desk.

Didn't he throw the flowers away? When...did he pick them up again?

Wait a minute, when she left the photo studio, she glanced at it, and the bouquet of flowers was still in the trash can...

She instinctively shifted her gaze to the man.

Yan Zhixu followed her gaze and saw the bouquet. He then looked away and met her eyes, asking calmly, "Do you like it?"

Liang Liangwei was a little unsure what was going on and asked, "Where did it come from?"

Yan Zhixu: "I ordered it."

Liang Liangwei's eyes widened: "You...you ordered this?"

Yan Zhixu nodded, his eyes fixed on her: "Do you like it?"

Liang Liangwei blinked, her eyes instantly lighting up with joy, and nodded hurriedly, "I like it!"

She quickly stepped forward, picked up the bouquet, and brought it close to her nose to smell. The fresh floral fragrance filled her nostrils, making her feel completely happy.

"It smells so good~ Thank you~"

Yan Zhixu curled her lips slightly, then quickly suppressed it, leaning back leisurely against the table, and casually reminded him, "You still owe me an explanation."

Liang Liangwei froze for a moment; he had indeed seen that message...

"That bouquet of flowers is—"

Yan Zhixu raised his chin and said, "No rush, take your time. I also ordered afternoon tea for you. You didn't eat much at noon, so have something to tide you over."

Liang Liangwei looked at the table and, sure enough, there was another takeout order.

So he came out of the photography studio just now to pick up the flowers and refreshments that were delivered?

She placed the flowers on the empty shelf, sat down, and opened the tea and snacks. Inside were Qingyuelou's special pastries: crystal buns, pine flower cakes, and sugar crisp cakes, all of which were exquisite and delicate Chinese pastries.

A warm feeling welled up inside me, and I was indeed hungry. I took a bite of a crystal bun with my chopsticks, and the aroma instantly filled my mouth.

After chewing a couple of bites, she looked up at the man and asked, "Do you want some?"

Yan Zhixu stared at her for two seconds before bending down and taking the half-eaten bun from her chopsticks.

"You eat." He ruffled her hair and sat down on the single sofa.

Liang Liangwei really didn't expect him to snatch the half-eaten bun from her chopsticks; she had clearly taken a bite out of it.

However, the two of them had already eaten quite a bit of each other's saliva, so what was one more bun?

Her pretty face flushed slightly, but she pretended to remain calm and looked away, continuing to eat the rest of her food.

A smile bloomed on her lips.

After eating another steamed bun, she finally spoke: "I actually told the person who sent the flowers yesterday not to send them anymore, but I didn't expect him to send them again today. I'll call him later to explain."

Yan Zhixu said casually, "Didn't I bring you late-night snacks before?"

Liang Liangwei had just stuffed a pine flower cake into her mouth when she heard this, and puffed out her cheeks as she looked at him: "How could you..."

The man looked at her without saying a word, his eyes conveying the message, "Guess how I knew."

She paused, then silently continued chewing.

Oh, he's been to the front desk a few times, so it's not surprising that the front desk told him about it.

She swallowed the pine flower cake and obediently replied, "It was only the night before last. I didn't eat it; I gave it to a colleague who was working overtime. I also told him not to send me any more late-night snacks, and he didn't send any yesterday. Of course, I didn't work overtime last night either."

Yan Zhixu pursed her lips and asked, "Did you tell him you have a boyfriend?"

Liang Liangwei nodded hurriedly: "I already said that before he brought the things, but I didn't expect him to—" bring more.

She felt frustrated and embarrassed. She was very serious when she talked to Shen Zhengming, so why was he still so persistent?

Yan Zhixu: "Who is he? Have you known each other for a long time?"

Liang Liangwei pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth and said, "He used to serve in the army under my dad. My dad was an officer. He was injured and retired. He was originally going to go back to his hometown, but my mom's company needed a professional CEO, so they asked him to take the position."

Yan Zhixu looked at her with a deep gaze: "Is this all the kind of relationship you have?"

Liang Liangwei nodded: "That's the kind of relationship we have. At most, we've met more often before and are relatively familiar with each other."

We're quite familiar with each other...

Yan Zhixu narrowed his dark eyes slightly: "How long has it been?"

Liang Liangwei thought for a moment: "About 10 years, I can't remember exactly."

It's been 10 years, and I'm only sending her flowers now?

Yan Zhixu's brows furrowed slightly, and his tone softened.

"You like flowers, so I'll send you flowers often in the future."

Liang Liangwei's gaze shifted to the bouquet of flowers on the shelf, a mixture of surprise and anticipation welling up inside her.

"There's no need to send them so often..." she said reservedly.

Yan Zhixu: "Oh, so you don't like it?"

Liang Liangwei quickly changed her mind: "If you like it, you can give it to me whenever you want. I'm always happy to receive it!"
