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

After sending the message, she put down her phone and chatted with Su Xiaorong and Gao Nan.

However, he would occasionally glance down at his phone to see if he had received a reply.

The waiters quickly brought out the dishes one after another, and the three of them ate and chatted.

Su Xiaorong: "Weiwei, you've been taking leave these past few days, saying you have important personal matters to attend to. You've even pushed the work orders you'd already agreed to to other stylists in the company. You've never done this before. Have you run into some trouble?"

Liang Liangwei ate the pineapple in her stir-fry and shrugged, saying, "It's not troublesome at all. Look at me, I'm quite relaxed and comfortable now, aren't I?"

Gao Nan: "Then why did you cancel all your work?"

Liang Liangwei: "A friend of mine was sick and hospitalized, so I went to visit him."

Gao Nan asked, puzzled, "Is your friend very sick? Doesn't he have any family members with him? Why do you need to take time off work to take care of him?"

Liang Liangwei didn't want to reveal too much, and said with a smile, "I don't spend all my time at the hospital with them. Anyway, our job doesn't require us to be on time from morning to night. Besides visiting friends at the hospital, I have other things to do at other times."

As she spoke, she glanced down at her phone again, but still didn't reply.

Su Xiaorong noticed her actions and asked, "Are you waiting for a message from your boyfriend?"

Gao Nan: "You're busy with the hospital and other things during the day, and you even come out to eat with us at night. You haven't spent time with him. Won't he be angry and ignore you?"

Liang Liangwei thought about Yan Zhixu's personality. When he was being aloof, he did not like to talk to people, but his indifference towards her only appeared when they first met. Later, when they had more frequent contact, he would reply to her calls almost instantly.

She smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, I informed him tonight, and he also has social engagements to attend to."

Gao Nan gasped, "What? You even told him you were having dinner with us tonight? He won't blame us for stealing you away, will he?"

Liang Liangwei laughed: "How can you be so obedient? I already told you he also has social engagements. If he can go to social engagements, why can't I have a meal with my friends?"

Gao Nan: "That's true."

"Weiwei." A man's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the three people's conversation.

The three looked up, and Liang Liangwei raised an eyebrow as she saw Fu Yankai walking towards them from a distance.

Fu Yan stopped at the table, looked at Liang Liangwei, and smiled: "You're eating here too?"

Liang Liangwei smiled: "As you can see."

Fu Yankai stared at her for a few seconds before nodding to the other two.

Seeing that Liang Liangwei didn't ask him in return, Fu Yankai put one hand in his pocket, glanced back in the direction he came from, and explained, "My... my parents came here to eat, saw you, and came over to say hello."

Liang Liangwei looked over but didn't see anyone; they probably went to a private room.

He nodded to indicate that he understood: "Oh, I have friends here, so it's not convenient. Otherwise, I should have gone over and said hello to your uncle and aunt."

This was just a polite remark, and Fu Yankai didn't take it seriously. He smiled and replied, "It's okay. You can come over for a visit when you get home."

Going home? Visiting someone? The next-door neighbor, childhood sweetheart?

Su Xiaorong and Gao Nan pricked up their ears and exchanged a glance.

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "Yes, there will be opportunities."

Fu Yankai hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then I'll go first. See you later."

Liang Liangwei: "See you later."

Fu Yankai gave her another deep look before turning and leaving.

Once he was out of sight, the two women beside him began their relentless bombardment of him.

"What's going on? Visiting other people's homes after going home? Sounds like a close relationship."

"He's pretty handsome. Is he the guy who brought you late-night snacks and flowers before?"

Liang Liangwei was speechless: "Can you guys stop thinking like that? It's not that!"

Su Xiaorong: "Then what does 'visiting home' mean? Childhood sweethearts?"

Liang Liangwei spat out, "Don't spread rumors. What childhood sweethearts? If that's what childhood sweethearts are, then I have plenty of childhood sweethearts. There are dozens of people around my age in my neighborhood. Would I ever be able to count them all?"

Gao Nan: "Then who is he?"

Liang Liangwei: "Just an ordinary neighbor, nothing more."

Su Xiaorong: "Isn't that a bit off? The way he looked at you just now seemed strange, like he was glued to you. There's definitely something fishy going on."

Liang Liangwei raised an eyebrow, tossed her loose, long, curly hair aside, and said in a very Versailles-like manner, "That's not surprising. I'm so beautiful that everyone loves me, even gods would fall for me. If someone can't take their eyes off me, it means he's a normal man~"

Gao Nan clicked his tongue and said, "Your narcissism is so infuriating!"

Liang Liangwei smiled, then gestured with her lip and said, "He came with his family. Look at this restaurant, the main theme is romantic. What's romantic about coming here with family? It can only be—"

Su Xiaorong and Gao Nan exchanged a glance and instantly understood.

All three of them simultaneously said, "Blind date—"

Liang Liangwei snapped her fingers: "That's right~"

Then the three of them laughed.

Gao Nan: "How do you know they must be on a blind date?"

Liang Liangwei munched on a rib: "That's the advantage of having neighbors, they're so well-informed!"

Su Xiaorong: "He's quite handsome. If he's this handsome, why does he need to go on blind dates? What, is it so hard to find a single person to date these days?"

Gao Nan: "Going on a blind date and the whole family comes along, it's like... an arranged marriage, haha..."

Isn't it just a political marriage? Wasn't that what we wanted to do in the first place?

I guess they saw no hope there was for them, so they turned to other places.

Liang Liangwei's eyes flickered, but she didn't respond to them.

Her phone finally rang, and her eyes lit up. She quickly put down the food she was holding, wiped her hands, and picked up her phone to check.

Yan Zhixu: [Dinner's almost ready, how about you?]

If Yan Bei'an hadn't sent her a separate message at the same time, she would have actually believed it.

Yan Bei'an: [This woman is quite thoughtful; she even gave me a gift—a Parker fountain pen, though I already have that model.]

Liang Liangwei bit her lower lip, a surge of inexplicable annoyance rising within her, and she didn't want to pay any attention to Yan Zhixu for the time being.

Instead, she replied to Yan Bei'an: "What did she give to the others?"

She can also refer to this, so that she can use it as a reference when she goes to give gifts next week.

Yan Beian: [I gave my mom a set of skincare products. I've been explaining the functions and uses to her. My grandpa and dad haven't opened the gift yet, so they don't know what it is.]

Yan Bei'an, thinking she was worried, sent another message to explain: "Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on your uncle. He hasn't been talking to Lisa much, and they're sitting so far apart, they haven't really interacted."

Liang Liangwei: [Why didn't your grandfather open the gift?]

Yan Bei'an: [I feel that Grandpa doesn't like the gift she gave him at all, and he doesn't even like her. Naturally, he's not interested in the gift either. I only opened it because of my uncle.]

Whether they liked it or not, Lisa brought a gift, which was always polite, and she did it very well.

Liang Liangwei: [Haven't we started eating yet?]

Yan Bei'an: [She was sitting there, chatting away with my mom, and I didn't have the heart to interrupt her.]
