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

Xu Chaofeng was dumbfounded and looked at the man on the hospital bed behind her.

On the hospital bed, Yan Zhixu lay there, her head, hands, and feet wrapped in gauze, her face pale, looking at him with her eyes closed, silently asking a question.

The social event ended around 8 p.m., and on the way to take Yan Zhixu home, Xu Chaofeng encountered a multi-vehicle collision, and Yan Zhixu hit his head on the car window.

The glass shattered, injuring Yan Zhixu's forehead and causing profuse bleeding. He was rushed to the hospital for examination and treatment, and was found to have suffered a concussion that left him semi-conscious.

Xu Chaofeng also suffered a minor hand injury, mainly a dislocated shoulder. He was protected by the deployed airbag, so his injury was not as serious as Yan Zhixu's.

When Liang Liangwei called, he was outside getting hot water and heard the phone ring when he came back.

Yan Zhixu was probably woken up by the ringing of the phone. The phone was on the bedside table, only half a meter away from him, but with one hand bandaged and the other receiving an IV drip, he was too dizzy to answer the call.

Seeing Xu Chaofeng come in, he gestured with his eyes for him to answer the phone.

When Xu Chaofeng saw that it was Liang Liangwei calling, she told Yan Zhixu. Yan Zhixu weakly asked him to keep it a secret for now, which led to the subsequent conversation.

But Xu Chaofeng never expected that Liang Liangwei would misunderstand and think that Yan Zhixu had cheated on her!

He looked at Yan Zhixu on the hospital bed with a strange expression, while the latter looked at him with confusion.

Lip-reading question to him: "What did she say?"

Xu Chaofeng swallowed hard. If he were to open his mouth to explain now, wouldn't he give himself away completely?

He then forced himself to say to Liang Liangwei, "Ms. Liang, it's really inconvenient right now. I'm sorry, but Mr. Yan will call you when he's available."

With a heavy heart, I hung up the phone.

Never mind, let President Yan explain it herself later!

Putting down her phone, Xu Chaofeng explained to Yan Zhixu with a complicated expression, "Mr. Yan, if you don't explain to Miss Liang, she suspects that you... are cheating on her."

Yan Zhixu was amused and annoyed: "...Do I look like someone who would cheat?"

His voice was hoarse and weak; if he answered the phone, people would definitely notice something was wrong.

Xu Chaofeng: "Of course not, but... it's normal for Miss Liang to be confused when she's worried, hehe..."

Yan Zhixu glanced at him and forcefully silenced his "hehe".

Yan Zhixu: "Is she very angry?"

Xu Chaofeng answered truthfully: "Yes."

Yan Zhixu paused for a moment before saying, "Let's not talk about it now. I'll call her back tomorrow when I feel a little better."

Xu Chaofeng: "Then President Yan, you should rest. The sooner you rest, the sooner you will recover."

Yan Zhixu hummed in agreement, closed her eyes, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Liang Liangwei looked at the phone that had been hung up, and she was furious.

This Assistant Xu actually dared to hang up on her!

Helping her boss hang up the phone!

She quickly found another number and dialed it.

This time the call was answered quickly. It was Yan Bei'an: "Weiwei? Why aren't you with your uncle this late at night? You want to talk to me?"

Liang Liangwei asked bluntly, "Your uncle really doesn't have a girlfriend in America?"

Yan Bei'an was taken aback: "No, why are you suddenly asking this again?"

She had asked this question before, and hadn't she already received a negative answer?

Liang Liangwei: "Will he tell you in detail whether he has a girlfriend or not? You saw with your own eyes that he sleeps alone every night?"

Yan Bei'an's head was buzzing from what he was being told: "No... what's wrong with you? I didn't see it with my own eyes, but you saw it with your own eyes?"

Liang Liangwei took a deep breath to calm herself down and asked, "Think carefully, is there any woman who reminds you that she might be his girlfriend?"

Yan Bei'an: "No need to think about it, isn't his girlfriend you?"

Liang Liangwei: "I meant in America!"

Yan Bei'an: "No, that's really not the case!"

Liang Liangwei paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you know who Lisa is?"

"Lisa?" Yan Bei'an muttered the name to himself a few times. "That name sounds so familiar... Isn't that... Uncle's cousin?"

Liang Liangwei was stunned: "...His cousin?!"

My cousin calls my cousin her boyfriend?

Why use such ambiguous copywriting?

Are you trying to mess up L?

Yan Bei'an: "But it seems he's not related by blood. He's a mixed-race child adopted by my uncle's aunt. I've met him twice, but I'm not very familiar with him."

Liang Liangwei's mind went blank: "Not blood-related...not blood-related...then is it possible that they...?"

Yan Bei'an chuckled dryly, "Can you stop being so ridiculous? My uncle is such a proper person, how could he be with a woman who is nominally his cousin but not a close relative? Besides, if they were together, they would have made it public long ago. Things are much more open abroad than here."

Liang Liangwei: "..."

Yan Bei'an: "How do you know Lisa?"

Liang Liangwei: "Did you know she came to our country?"

Yan Bei'an looked bewildered: "I don't know. I'm not familiar with her, and my uncle never mentions her to me. How come you ran into her?"

Liang Liangwei: "I met someone named Lisa these past two days, but I don't know if she's the Lisa you're talking about."

After all, Lisa is just a very ordinary name.

She suddenly remembered that Lisa had said her surname was Zhou.

What is your maternal uncle's surname?

Yan Bei'an: "His surname is Zhou."

Liang Liangwei understood instantly.

She remained silent, which worried Yan Bei'an: "What are you thinking about? Don't stay silent, and don't overthink things. What happened?"

Liang Liangwei said sullenly, "Your uncle isn't answering my calls."

Yan Bei'an patiently asked, "So?"

Liang Liangwei gritted her teeth: "He's not answering my calls at this hour!"

Yan Bei'an: "Perhaps he..."

Liang Liangwei sneered: "Busy? Ha, that's what Assistant Xu said when he answered my call on his phone."

Yan Bei'an: "..."

He racked his brains for an excuse for his uncle: "Maybe... he's in a meeting, a video conference, you know, the online kind..."

Liang Liangwei: "Can't we just say it outright? But Assistant Xu only said he was not available."

Yan Bei'an: "Then you can call later?"

Liang Liangwei replied listlessly, "Yeah, I'm hanging up."

Yan Bei'an: "Don't give birth..."

Liang Liangwei had already hung up the phone.

Yan Beian looked at the screen where the call had been disconnected and sighed.

After thinking for a moment, he called Yan Zhixu, but before the other end could answer, he realized that Yan Zhixu might really be busy, so he quickly hung up and called Xu Chaofeng instead.

Xu Chaofeng answered quickly, lowering his voice: "Young Master Bei'an?"

Yan Bei'an: "Assistant Xu, where is my uncle?"

Xu Chaofeng glanced at Yan Zhixu, who was already asleep on the bed, and went to the bathroom: "President Yan is not available to answer the phone right now."

That's really true.

Yan Bei'an said irritably, "I know, so what is he doing?"

Xu Chaofeng: "He's drunk and sleeping."

Yan Bei'an: "Sleeping... Tch~ Did you tell Weiwei he was sleeping?"

Xu Chaofeng instantly understood why he had called: "I told you, but Miss Liang didn't believe me."

Yan Bei'an chuckled: "I don't believe it either."

Xu Chaofeng: "..."

Yan Bei'an: "What exactly is Uncle doing?"

Xu Chaofeng said innocently, "I was really sleeping."
