When Lisa opened the door, she saw two people sitting intimately together on the sofa, and a sinister look flashed across her face.

Hearing Yan Zhixu's words, she temporarily suppressed her displeasure and pretended to be innocent, saying, "I knocked on the door."

When a stranger came in, Liang Liangwei subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but the man held on even tighter and wouldn't let go.

"What's up?"

Lisa walked in, glanced at Liang Liangwei, and said, "I wanted to talk to you about some work-related matters, but it seems you have visitors. Aren't you going to introduce them?"

Yan Zhixu gestured to their clasped hands and said, "We should get to know each other. This is my girlfriend. I've mentioned her to you before."

Turning to look at Liang Liangwei, he softened his expression and said, "She is Mr. Zhou, the head of Bosch in the United States."

Using the gentlest tone, yet giving the most indifferent introduction, as if the person being introduced were just a random passerby.

Even her identity as a "cousin" was not mentioned.

Although she didn't want to be introduced to outsiders, especially Liang Liangwei, as his "cousin," the fact that even this most basic identity was ignored was even more disheartening.

Lisa's hands, hanging tightly at her sides, were clenched tightly as she stared fiercely at Liang Liangwei.

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "Actually, Miss Zhou and I have already met, right, Miss Zhou? We just met a few days ago through Madam Wen."

Lisa pursed her lips, not responding immediately.

Right now, she was thinking about the content she posted on WeChat and the photos in her Moments, all of which were deliberately shown to Liang Liangwei.

But Liang Liangwei deleted her, which probably means she realized her intentions.

Now that Yan Zhixu had introduced their identities and relationships to each other in person, she felt a sense of shame, as if she had been slapped in the face.

In an instant, I regretted my impulsive decision to show myself, which put me in a disadvantageous position.

But she didn't show it on her face, looking down at the two people on the sofa, concealing her resentment.

He took a deep breath before managing a weak smile and replying, "Indeed."

Yan Zhixu: "If what you want to talk about isn't urgent, we can talk about it later. I have a meeting later and I need to look at some documents, so I don't have time now."

Lisa glanced at the documents on the table and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Really? Looking at documents? I thought you were having a romantic chat with your girlfriend, but it turns out you were looking at documents."

Yan Zhixu's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? If you have nothing to do, go outside. You're disturbing me."

Lisa bit her lip and said, "You know I don't have much time. Since I don't have time during the day, then tonight..."

Yan Zhixu: "I have a social engagement tonight, so I don't have time."

Lisa: "I can't go back to America until the work is finished."

Yan Zhixu: "That would be best. You shouldn't go back. Someone will naturally take your place."

This is a naked threat!

He threatened her because of this woman!

Lisa was so angry that she could barely keep her composure.

Liang Liangwei's round eyes darted back and forth between the two of them. Lisa was clearly embarrassed; this man really didn't hold back when he spoke.

It seems he was right to be honest; there really is nothing between him and this "cousin," otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately angered her like this.

She glanced at her watch; it was already 2:40. It seemed he wouldn't be able to rest.

She nudged Yan Zhixu's arm, reminding him, "Isn't there a meeting at 3 o'clock? You only have 20 minutes to look at the documents."

Yan Zhixu nodded to indicate that she understood, and then gestured to Lisa, "Go out first."

Lisa could only leave in anger.

Only the two of them remained in the office.

Taking advantage of the man's inattention, Liang Liangwei withdrew her hand.

Yan Zhixu turned her head to look at her.

Liang Liangwei fiddled with her fingers and asked, "Does she often come to your office to talk to you about work?"

Yan Zhixu immediately replied, "No, we usually talk in the conference room. Even if we were to come here, there would definitely be other people present."

Every time Lisa came to see him, whether for official or personal reasons, he would call Xu Chaofeng on the inside and ask him to come and help deal with it.

When he first took over the Bosch Group, Lisa would repeatedly find excuses to enter his office, either verbally harassing him or dressing provocatively and posing seductively. After being annoyed a few times, he learned to be smart and always called her Xu Chaofeng.

With Xu Chaofeng around, Lisa naturally restrained herself, a tactic that never failed her.

Liang Liangwei crossed her arms and glanced at him sideways, saying, "She definitely likes you."

Yan Zhixu's first reaction was to deny it, but then she felt that it would be too obvious to deny it, so she could only say, "That's her business. I didn't mean it that way. I only like you."

Liang Liangwei smiled, pleased with her boyfriend's words: "Is she going back to America?"

Yan Zhixu: "Yes, I put pressure on her through headquarters. If she doesn't go back, she might lose her job. She's already bought her plane ticket and is leaving tomorrow. She won't bother you anymore."

Liang Liangwei: "Anyway, I just took what she posted as a joke and didn't take it to heart. But it's good that she went back, so she won't have to ask me to do her hair and makeup again in the future, and I'll have to figure out how to refuse, that would be really annoying."

Yan Zhixu grabbed her hand again: "I'm annoyed with her too, but she has some connections behind her, so we can't touch her for now. We can only bear with it and deal with her when the higher-ups close in."

Liang Liangwei tilted her head and said, "Are you really going to deal with her? She's your cousin in name only."

Yan Zhixu's eyes darkened slightly as he said, "It's only in name; in reality, there's no connection whatsoever. Moreover, it concerns the greater good of the nation. Since she chose to work for those people, it's not unfair that she was punished."

After a moment of silence, he added, "It's just a pity about my aunt's good intentions, since she really treated her like a daughter."

Looking at Liang Liangwei, he softened his tone and said, "Our time is precious, let's not keep mentioning her."

Liang Liangwei: "That's right, you're about to..."

Yan Zhixu: "What I mean is, our time is precious, and we shouldn't let irrelevant outsiders affect us."

He leaned over and kissed her lips without a word, gently sucking on them, his voice low and husky as he said, "I haven't kissed you since I came all day. Did you miss me?"

He kissed Liang Liangwei, leaving her speechless; she could only nod slightly.

Yan Zhixu kissed her deeply, wanting to pull her into his arms, but accidentally aggravated his injured hand, causing him to frown and hiss softly.

Liang Liangwei was startled and hurriedly pushed him away, anxiously asking, "Did you aggravate your wound?"

Yan Zhixu: "It's alright, let's continue."

He tried to hug her, but she dodged away.

Liang Liangwei said, both amused and annoyed, "You said you weren't bothered by me? Look, I can't concentrate on the documents, which affects your meeting efficiency, and you keep complaining of pain. I'm not coming anymore."

Yan Zhixu quickly said, "This has nothing to do with you, it's my own fault—"

Liang Liangwei put a finger to his lips: "President Yan, you have a meeting in 15 minutes."

Yan Zhixu was both amused and exasperated. This was the first time he had ever been accused of slacking off at work, especially by his girlfriend.

He said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, I'll look at the information first."

Liang Liangwei stood up and said, "So, I won't bother you any longer. You can continue reading. I'll head back now."

Yan Zhixu could only get up and see her to the door: "Tonight..."

Liang Liangwei stepped outside and said, "I'll pick you up tonight, it's settled then~"

Yan Zhixu smiled and could only agree, softly replying, "Okay."
