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

Yan Zhixu's dark eyes narrowed: "How did you run into him?"

Xu Chaofeng took out her phone, opened several prepared videos, and handed them to Yan Zhixu to watch.

"This coffee shop is owned by Mrs. Wen, the president of Mingyuan Group. She is Ms. Liang's client. President Wen got married last year, and Ms. Liang did Mrs. Wen's wedding styling."

The videos were taken by the mall's surveillance cameras; the first video was taken from outside the coffee shop looking into it.

Inside the transparent glass wall, Liang Liangwei and Madam Wen were sitting and chatting happily.

Shortly after, Lisa entered the cafe carrying her bag, went straight to the two-person table, spoke with Mrs. Wen, and exchanged a glance with Liang Liangwei, but did not speak to her.

A moment later, Liang Liangwei got up to say goodbye and quickly left the coffee shop.

Xu Chaofeng: "When she was here, Miss Liang probably didn't know who Miss Lisa was."

In the second video, Liang Liangwei comes out of a men's clothing brand store, carrying several shopping bags.

On the descending escalator not far away, Lisa and Mrs. Wen stood side by side, both looking at Liang Liangwei's location, talking in hushed tones.

Yan Zhixu frowned: "What day is this?"

Xu Chaofeng: "It was the day we returned from Saudi Arabia. At that time, Miss Lisa was already in China."

Yan Zhixu recalled that late that night when he returned from a connecting flight in Hong Kong, Liang Liangwei took out the new pajamas she had bought for him after he took a shower, as well as the new clothes she gave him to wear the next day. The logo on them was the same men's clothing brand store that Liang Liangwei had walked out of in the video.

So, Lisa knew about her existence all along and deliberately approached her?

He had seen Mrs. Wen and Lisa together in the United States and knew they were good friends, so Lisa was using Mrs. Wen to get close to Liang Liangwei.

He wasn't familiar with Mrs. Wen, and they hadn't even spoken more than a few times. But her husband, Wen Ruixing, was his classmate when he was studying for his master's degree in the United States. Last year, when she got married, he wasn't in China, but he specially sent a generous gift back to China to congratulate her.

Wen Ruixing, who had just returned last month, was the friend who joked with him about whether he had a partner during a dinner party.

He had originally planned to have dinner with Wen Ruixing in the next couple of days, but his injury delayed the plans.

Yan Zhixu handed the phone back to Xu Chaofeng and asked, "What happened after that? Did they have any further contact?"

Xu Chaofeng: "We haven't found anything yet. However, Lisa and Ms. Liang didn't actually interact in these two videos. If it would cause Ms. Liang to misunderstand, there should be other contact between them."

Yan Zhixu said in a deep voice, "Continue the investigation."

Xu Chaofeng: "Yes."

Yan Zhixu lowered her head and began processing the documents.

They quickly signed their names and then talked to Xu Chaofeng about some work-related matters.

Xu Chaofeng tidied up the documents.

"Mr. Yan, Ms. Lisa has been asking me about your whereabouts."

Yan Zhixu said calmly, "She has asked me about this quite a few times on WeChat. She knows I'm going back to the old house tonight and said she wants to visit my father. I agreed, so it's good for her to see him in person."

Xu Chaofeng glanced at his wound with concern: "Your injury..."

Yan Zhixu: "I will cover it up. After you get off work this afternoon, take her to the old house and then take her back."

Xu Chaofeng: "Yes."

Yan Zhixu: "Also, how's the renovation of the villa going?"

Xu Chaofeng: "It's almost finished. We're painting the exterior walls and decorating the yard. Some green plants have already been planted, and the paved paths have been laid. We can move in by the end of the year."

Yan Zhixu nodded slightly: "Go and follow up on the change of nationality. It should be fine now and can be done quickly."

Xu Chaofeng: "Yes."

After discussing a few more topics, Xu Chaofeng left the ward.

Liang Liangwei was standing outside the ward making a phone call when she saw him come out and smiled at him.

Xu Chaofeng gestured that he was leaving first. The two nodded to each other, waved, and he walked towards the elevator.

The caregiver was also standing outside. Seeing him leave, she picked up the thermos bottle on the ground and walked into the ward.

Liang Liangwei ended the call shortly afterward and went into the ward.

The caregiver was adding hot water to Yan Zhixu's cup, which he took and drank slowly.

After Liang Liangwei came in, he put down the cup and gestured for the caregiver to help him out of bed, as he needed to go to the bathroom.

Getting out of bed was a bit difficult, and Liang Liangwei couldn't help, so she could only stand aside and watch.

After Yan Zhixu regained his footing, he gestured for the caregiver to leave, steadied himself, and took a step forward.

The movement was very slow and stiff, and it was clear that the person was in pain, but it was much better than yesterday. Yesterday, the person couldn't walk a single step without assistance, and almost all of their weight was on the caregiver.

If you ignore the details, today's movements are almost no different from those of an ordinary person.

He's really good at holding back.

But Liang Liangwei still felt sorry for him; she could tell how much pain he was in from his tightly pursed lips.

Watching him slowly enter the restroom and come out again 10 minutes later, with nothing unusual about him, I felt a little relieved.

Yan Zhixu did not return to her hospital bed, but instead walked to the window and quietly looked outside.

Liang Liangwei followed him to the window, looking at him with concern: "Aren't you going back to lie down?"

Yan Zhixu looked back at her: "I'm almost completely worn out from lying down, I need to relax a bit. Besides, we're going back to the old house tonight, I need to get used to it."

Liang Liangwei: "Do we really have to go back to the old house?"

Yan Zhixu: "Unless it's a business trip, then I'd have to explain to my father why I didn't prepare in advance. It's hard to find a reason, so I might as well just go."

He took her hand and said softly, "It's alright, I'll be careful and won't push myself."

Liang Liangwei: "But you need someone to be with you. Will Assistant Xu go with you too?"

Yan Zhixu: "Let him go. I already told him."

Liang Liangwei muttered softly, "I could go back with you, but you didn't say anything..."

Her voice was too soft for him to hear, so he leaned closer and asked, "Hmm? Not saying anything?"

Liang Liangwei looked away and pouted, "It's nothing, I just wanted to warn you to be careful."

He chuckled softly, gently rubbing his fingers against the base of her thumb and forefinger: "I'll be careful."

The two stood together by the window and looked out. The sky was a clear blue and the weather was fine. The snow that had fallen recently had melted away, and the trees in the hospital courtyard had lost all their leaves, leaving their branches bare and creating a desolate scene.

The ward was warm and cozy, though the heating was on.

The two held hands, enjoying the harmony.

Thinking of something, Liang Liangwei tilted her head and said, "Oh right, I told my dad that I was going back with you, and I also mentioned to him that you would come back with me to see him."

Yan Zhixu: "What did he say?"

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "What can I say? I agreed."

Yan Zhixu also smiled and said, "He knows you have a boyfriend, but he didn't say anything?"

Recalling Commander Liang's reaction, Liang Liangwei shrugged and said, "Well, I was quite happy."

Yan Zhixu teased her, "I thought she would ask about your boyfriend."

Liang Liangwei blinked: "I asked too."

"Oh? What did you ask?"

Liang Liangwei glanced at him and said, "I asked about his household registration, where he lives, what he does, how old he is, what his family does, how they met, and all the other questions I could ask."

Yan Zhixu chuckled, able to picture the scene.

This is a normal reaction that fathers all over the world would have upon learning that their daughters are in a relationship.
