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

As she spoke, she looked at him again, scrutinizing him.

Yan Zhixu lowered his eyes and let her scrutinize him. He gently brushed his left sleeve with his intact right hand, his cold expression unchanged, and said indifferently, "I know, it's a major traffic accident. My phone pushed a news notification. Why are you asking about this?"

Lisa didn't find anything wrong with him, so she looked away and gazed at the man's handsome face, saying, "I also saw the push notification. That day you said you had a social engagement that night. I texted you but you didn't reply, and you didn't answer my calls. I almost thought you..."

Yan Zhixu: "There were probably a lot of people in the private room, and they were talking loudly, so they didn't hear the phone ring. What, just because they couldn't reach me, they thought I had an accident in that car crash?"

Lisa quickly said, "I was just worried about you. Isn't it just that concern makes me confused?"

Yan Zhixu slightly lifted her eyelids, a half-smile on her face, and said, "Huacheng is so big, there are many accidents every day, how could you be so sure that I would happen to be in that car accident?"

Lisa's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "I...I didn't mean you were involved in that car accident..."

Yan Zhixu: "Then why did you bring it up?"

Lisa couldn't refute it for a moment, so she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Your outfit is quite nice; I rarely see you in casual clothes."

Yan Zhixu glanced down at his new clothes, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "Thank you, my girlfriend picked them out for me."

Lisa's face instantly turned as if she'd swallowed a fly, utterly frustrated: "..."

Yan Zhixu ignored her reaction and said with some impatience, "Chaofeng is a special assistant I value highly. Don't keep him waiting. Get in the car and go back quickly."

Lisa pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I'll head back now. I'll come visit you again next Saturday..."

Yan Zhixu straightened up: "We'll talk about it later."

He acted as if he wanted to see her out, which made Lisa both angry and annoyed. She glared at him resentfully, then turned and left in a huff.

Yan Zhixu didn't turn her head until she closed the door, her sharp eyes looking at the person at the corner of the stairs, and scolded in a low voice: "What are you hiding in there for? Hurry up and come out!"

~

Yan Bei'an hid at the corner of the stairs, peering down.

At this moment, no one else from the Yan family was downstairs, and the servants were all in their rooms. Only Yan Zhixu and Lisa were in the large living room.

He saw Lisa, who had been standing in the entryway, sway her hips as she walked toward Yan Zhixu, who was standing next to the sofa. She stood in front of him, looked up and met Yan Zhixu's gaze, and began to speak.

Because of the distance and the fact that the other person was speaking English very quickly, he couldn't hear them very clearly, and even if he could hear them, he couldn't understand them very well.

But he noticed the look in Lisa's eyes when she looked at her uncle.

The woman looked her uncle up and down like she was looking at prey. Her gaze was so blatant that he was afraid she would suddenly turn into a tiger and devour his aloof and refined uncle, who was like Tang Sanzang!

I couldn't help but shiver and took out my phone to snap a few photos of the two people talking.

Then I opened Liang Liangwei's WeChat and was about to send it to her.

Suddenly, he remembered Yan Zhixu's warning to him, and his finger hovering over the send button didn't dare to press it.

Although his intention was to remind Liang Liangwei to be wary of her uncle, who had ulterior motives, he also knew that once he sent the message and her uncle found out, he might not see the sun rise the next day.

While he was hesitating, he suddenly received a message from Liang Liangwei on WeChat: "Why haven't you typed anything yet? I've noticed the 'typing' indicator at the top keeps changing."

Yan Bei'an was startled and quickly covered himself, replying to Liang Liangwei: "How did you know I was using WeChat to send you a message?"

Liang Liangwei: [Because I noticed you hadn't posted anything new for a while, I was just about to ask you when I saw you typing.]

Yan Bei'an: [Oh, we just finished eating.]

Liang Liangwei: [What is your uncle doing?]

Catching up with my cousin~

Yan Bei'an peeked in again and replied: "Uncle is resting while standing."

Liang Liangwei: [Then why isn't he replying to my messages?]

Yan Bei'an: [Anyway, just wait a little longer, I'll definitely get back to you soon.]

Liang Liangwei: [Where's Lisa? Is she still at your house?]

The sound of a door closing came from downstairs. Yan Beian glanced around again and saw that Yan Zhixu was the only one left in the living room.

Lisa must have already left. When he glanced at her, he noticed that she didn't look too good, probably because her uncle hadn't treated her well.

He wasn't surprised at all; to his recollection, he had never seen his uncle be affectionate towards other women.

He was about to look away to reply to Liang Liangwei when he suddenly saw his uncle turn around and stare at him. He instantly jumped, and then heard his uncle's deep scolding voice: "What are you hiding in there for? Get out here right now!"

Yan Beian hurriedly came out of his hiding place, jumped down the stairs in a few steps, and came to Yan Zhixu: "Uncle, I'm here, what's the matter?"

Yan Zhixu frowned at him and asked unhappily, "What are you doing sneaking around like that?"

Yan Bei'an: "N-nothing..."

Yan Zhixu glanced at his phone, her gaze darkening: "Were you eavesdropping?"

Yan Bei'an chuckled dryly, "No, Uncle, you seem to be speaking English, I don't understand it either, haha..."

Yan Zhixu: "So you admit you were eavesdropping? Did you also take pictures? What did you take them for? To send them to Weiwei?"

His face also darkened.

Yan Bei'an hurriedly said, "No, Uncle, I really didn't send it to her..."

Yan Zhixu held out her hand to him: "Give me your phone."

The four simple yet powerful words left Yan Bei'an no choice but to obey. He nervously handed over his phone, trying his best to defend himself: "She sent it to me first, asking what my uncle was doing, and why he wasn't replying to my messages."

Yan Zhixu finished reading his conversation with Liang Liangwei in a few seconds, and his expression darkened when he saw the last sentence.

He handed the phone back to Yan Beian and said in a deep voice, "Tell her that Lisa has left, but don't mention that Lisa and I were talking alone just now."

Yan Bei'an quickly replied with an "okay," and promptly sent a message to Liang Liangwei: "She's already left."

After sending the message, he showed the phone to Yan Zhixu and only breathed a sigh of relief and put it back after Yan Zhixu nodded.

Yan Zhixu walked towards her building first, saying, "Didn't you say you were going to be my caregiver? Come with me."

Yan Bei'an hurriedly followed.

"Uncle, are you going to take a bath?"

"Ah."

Yan Zhixu walked very slowly, and Yan Beian also slowed down to follow beside him.

The two arrived at the building where Yan Zhixu and Old Master Yan lived, and went upstairs one after the other.

Yan Beian's phone rang again. Before he could even look at it, he saw Yan Zhixu stop ahead, turn around and look at him, while giving him a meaningful look.

Yan Bei'an was puzzled at first, but he quickly understood and immediately handed over his phone obediently.

Yan Zhixu read Liang Liangwei's reply: 【It's alright now that he's gone. Make sure your uncle takes a bath early tonight, and be careful not to hurt him or get his wound wet. Otherwise, you'll be held responsible!】

Yan Beian swore that when he saw his uncle's cold face suddenly soften, the corners of his lips turned up, and he resembled a scene of wildflowers blooming after the first snow of spring.
