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

"Are you going to America with your boyfriend?" Xiang Ting asked.

Liang Liangwei stuffed a shrimp into her mouth and said, "Mmm."

Noticing that she was being stared at, she looked at the seat next to her and saw Lisa staring intently at her, as if she had said something that would enrage heaven and earth.

She just said she was going on a trip abroad with her boyfriend, is that so strange? Who hasn't gone on a trip with their boyfriend these days?

She then looked at Xiang Ting across from her: "What's wrong?"

Xiang Ting chuckled twice, then tugged at Lisa's sleeve under the table.

"It's nothing, I was just a little surprised that you went on a trip with your boyfriend so close to the Chinese New Year."

Liang Liangwei joked, "Mrs. Wen doesn't have a boyfriend, but she can choose to go with Mr. Wen too~"

Xiang Ting chuckled: "That's true~ I'll ask about it later."

The hand under the table continued to tug at Lisa's sleeve.

Lisa finally looked away, her hand holding the chopsticks trembling slightly as she tried hard to stop herself from screaming.

Xiang Ting started a conversation: "Weiwei, can you tell me how you and your boyfriend met?"

Liang Liangwei pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands, which were dirty from peeling shrimp, and said with a smile, "I met her at a friend's house."

Xiang Ting: "At a friend's house? Was it love at first sight?"

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "Why is Madam Wen so curious about me and my boyfriend?"

Xiang Ting glanced at Lisa and said, "I am indeed quite curious. You know, falling in love at first sight can be really awkward sometimes. What if the person you like already has a girlfriend? Wouldn't you unwittingly become a mistress?"

Liang Liangwei paused for a moment, then looked up at Xiang Ting, seemingly lost in thought.

Xiang Ting's eyes flickered slightly as she avoided her gaze, and she chuckled dryly, "I was just joking, I didn't mean you... well, don't mind me."

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "I understand what Madam Wen means, and I won't take it personally. However, since it's love at first sight, it means they don't know anything about the other person's romantic history and only look at their appearance to decide they like them. In this case, even if the other person has a girlfriend, it doesn't count as being a mistress, right? The important thing is the man's attitude—whether he accepts the other person's pursuit while already having a girlfriend, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Ting agreed, realizing it made sense.

Liang Liangwei: "Moreover, before I pursued my boyfriend, I asked around with my friends and found out that he was single, so it was only natural for me to pursue him."

Xiang Ting was slightly surprised: "So, you were the one who pursued your boyfriend?"

Liang Liangwei readily admitted, "Yes, he's a really nice person. I liked him at first sight. Such a great man doesn't have a girlfriend yet, of course I have to pursue him quickly!"

Xiang Ting: "I'm a little surprised. I thought that someone as pretty as you, Weiwei, would be the one being pursued."

Liang Liangwei shrugged: "Times have changed. Opportunities are fleeting and wait for no one. Girls can be more proactive too~"

Xiang Ting nodded in agreement; it was indeed true.

She glanced at Lisa again, who remained silent, her face slightly somber and not looking too good.

Then he asked, "Did your friend tell you that he's single?"

Liang Liangwei: "Mm."

Xiang Ting pressed further, "How can your friend be so sure he's single?"

Liang Liangwei paused, looked up at Xiang Ting, and then at the silent Lisa.

Xiang Ting felt a tightness in her chest under her gaze: "I—"

My first instinct was to apologize.

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "This garlic vermicelli shrimp tastes pretty good. Mrs. Wen, please eat more. I've already eaten several."

Xiang Ting realized that her questioning had offended the other person, who was using the excuse of changing the subject to remind her. She felt embarrassed and her face flushed red.

Busy and quick to agree, she replied, "I also like garlic shrimp—"

Lisa took out her phone, fiddled with it for a bit, and then held the screen up to Liang Liangwei: "Let's add each other on WeChat."

"it is good."

Liang Liangwei quickly added her, sent an emoji, and then put down her phone, not paying much attention to it.

Lisa leaned back with her phone, casually fiddling with it, but actually immediately accessed Liang Liangwei's WeChat Moments.

Just some daily work routines, or random thoughts, and then—

The other party has set their Moments to be visible for only 3 days.

Lisa: "..."

He calmly put down his phone and continued eating without making a sound.

During the meal, each of the three had their own thoughts, making the experience inexplicably awkward.

Liang Liangwei went to the restroom, and while washing her hands, she wondered whether she should pay the bill.

Although it was Mrs. Wen who invited the dinner, she was, after all, a client.

Then I thought again, oh well, she's just providing a service, not making friends with people.

Besides, even if I were to make friends, I'd do it with Mrs. Wen. I wouldn't get along with Lisa at all, and I'd have to put up with her strange attitude. Paying the bill would be really unpleasant, and I might regret it the very next second after I pay.

Then whoever makes the invitation should pay the bill.

After making her decision, she smiled at herself in the mirror, then turned and left.

After dinner, the three of them got up and walked outside together.

Xiang Ting had already paid the bill and politely told Liang Liangwei that they would contact each other again next week for the business event.

Liang Liangwei nodded and agreed.

Looking at Lisa, even though there's no chance of collaboration this year, we can still be on good terms even if the deal falls through.

He then extended his hand to her, saying, "Ms. Lisa, I hope we'll have the opportunity to collaborate next year."

Lisa, with her hands in her pockets, didn't respond to her gesture. Looking into her eyes, she said softly, "Actually, my surname is Zhou. You can call me Miss Zhou."

Liang Liangwei: "..."

What do you mean?

Why did you suddenly introduce yourself by your surname?

Are they on the same wavelength?

Xiang Ting also: "..."

Liang Liangwei smiled and extended her hand: "Okay, Ms. Zhou, I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together next year."

Lisa stared at her for a long time before finally reaching out her hand.

Liang Liangwei gave up, withdrew her hand, and smiled at Xiang Ting, "Thank you for your hospitality, Madam Wen. I'll be going now. Please drive carefully, both of you. Goodbye."

Lisa: "..."

Xiang Ting saw it too, but pretended not to: "Goodbye~"

Liang Liangwei turned and left.

Lisa gritted her teeth: "How rude!"

Xiang Ting sighed silently and offered no comment.

They also walked to the other side.

Lisa caught up: "Really? She has the nerve to say that, 'love at first sight,' and that she asked if he was single. That's just sophistry!"

Xiang Ting tilted her head and said seriously, "Actually, I think the problem lies with her friend."

Lisa was taken aback: "What?"

Xiang Ting: "Why does your friend think your boyfriend is single? A good friend wouldn't encourage another friend to pursue a friend who already has a girlfriend, otherwise wouldn't that make them a pimp?"

Lisa was confused again: "What is a pimp?"

Xiang Ting spread her hands and thought for a moment: "It's... the matchmaker."
