Yan Zhixu thought it was ridiculous.

He was tricked into returning to China by the old man.

The old man started urging him to get married a few years ago, but he always brushed it off by saying he was too busy with work. He spends most of his time abroad, so the old man couldn't do anything about it.

He thought the old man had given up because he hadn't been urging him as much in the past two years.

Ten days ago, I received a call from my grandfather, who said that his nephew Yan Beian was getting engaged and would be getting married soon, and asked him to come back to China when he had time.

He agreed to come back mainly to see his grandfather. He hadn't been back for the Lunar New Year last year because he was busy, so it had been over a year. Recently, several of his projects had been successfully completed and no longer required his constant monitoring, so he agreed.

As a result, I was called back to the old house yesterday evening as soon as I got off the plane, and sure enough, I was urged to go back to work again.

"Look at you, you're already 30 and you're not worried about your own life at all. I could understand if you couldn't get me to do anything a few years ago, but now even your nephew is getting ahead of you. How can you be so shameless?"

The old man was nearly seventy years old, with a full head of white hair, but he was still very energetic, with a booming voice and a brisk pace. His body was clearly stronger than that of his grandson Yan Beian, but for some reason he insisted on using a cane, sitting on a bamboo chair with the cane in front of him.

Are you pretending to be an old person?

Yan Zhixu looked at the dragon-headed cane and said calmly, "It's made of ebony, isn't it? The quality is quite good."

"..."

The old man tapped the ground with his cane in annoyance, clearly displeased with his change of topic. He said sarcastically in a harsh tone, "Your nephew got engaged before his uncle! What kind of behavior is this! You have one month to find me a partner. You must get engaged before the engagement in Bei'an and married before the wedding. Otherwise, don't ever come back to see me again!"

Well, they're all talking past each other and can't seem to reach a consensus.

Seeing that he didn't react, the old man angrily said, "Did you hear me?!"

Yan Zhixu, with his hands in his pockets, nodded perfunctorily and replied, "I heard you. From now on, when I come back to see my elder brother, I'll consider it as seeing you."

Yan Yunting, who was drinking tea and watching the show from the side, was speechless.

No, how did he suddenly get involved?

The old man was so angry that he almost threw his cane at his youngest son's head, but remembering his purpose in pretending to be weak with the cane, he held back.

The housekeeper knocked on the door in time to invite them to dinner, thus averting a potential "battle" between father and son.

Yan Zhixu later learned that his nephew Yan Beian had brought his girlfriend home to meet his parents for the first time that day, and he had met the girl after leaving the old man's study.

She was a bright, fashionable, and beautiful girl with proper manners. She was beautiful and had a sweet tongue, which won the favor of two generations of elders in the Yan family.

At the dinner table, the girl obediently called out "Uncle" to Yan Bei'an.

Her voice was sweet and cheerful, soft like... a bowl of fragrant sea cucumber and egg custard on the table for everyone.

Yan Zhixu looked up from the steamed egg custard, glanced at the other person, and nodded slightly.

He was soon proven wrong by his initial impression.

Behave properly?

Ah--

If she keeps glancing over at him, and even when he looks back, she doesn't seem guilty or look away, but instead smiles at him, then his impression of her might last longer.

After a few times, he narrowed his eyes and thoughtfully turned his gaze to his nephew, Yan Beian.

The guy was talking to his parents and was completely unaware of his girlfriend's unusual behavior.

He withdrew his gaze, subtly quickened his eating pace, and left the table first after finishing.

When no one was looking, the man pursed his lips and his eyes were cold.

Whatever this woman's intentions, she'd better be smart and not cause any trouble in the Yan family, lest she embarrass herself.

It doesn't matter anyway, since he'll be leaving early tomorrow morning and rarely comes back to the old house. He'll be returning to America soon, and aside from her engagement and wedding banquet with Yan Bei'an, they probably won't have any further contact.

But the bizarre situation that occurred later was truly beyond his expectations!

After returning to his room, he planned to take a shower first.

The laundry basket was by the bathroom door. He strolled over and slowly began to untie the clothes he was wearing.

He threw the belt on the bed, pulled the shirt out of his waistband, unbuttoned it one by one, and tossed it into the basket.

Just as I was about to take off my trousers and put my hand on my waist, I suddenly realized something was wrong.

There's a feeling that you're being watched closely by someone.

Is someone inside?!

He suddenly turned around, his sharp, hawk-like black eyes sweeping around.

But they found nothing.

This was the room he had lived in before he went abroad at the age of 23. Even though he hadn't returned to live there for many years, most of the servants in the villa were old employees who knew his rules. Apart from the housekeeper arranging for someone to come in and clean for him regularly, no one would enter without his permission.

Not to mention, they might as well come in and hide.

The room's furnishings were laid out clearly, offering no way to hide anyone, and he withdrew his gaze in confusion.

illusion?

But the intense feeling of being spied on was still there, and it didn't seem like a hallucination at all.

The image of that woman who had been staring intently at him at the dinner table not long ago flashed through his mind.

He narrowed his eyes.

With her boyfriend right there, and even his elders in front of her, that woman dared to stare at another man so openly—and that man was her boyfriend's uncle.

She's really bold!

"..."

Not right either.

He couldn't possibly suspect that the feeling of being spied on in his room was also related to that person just because someone saw him at the dinner table.

He lowered his brow, suppressing the strange feeling that inexplicably rose in his heart, and continued walking towards the bathroom.

This time, instead of undressing as she walked, she immediately closed and locked the bathroom door as soon as she entered.

Fortunately, the feeling disappeared after he closed the door. He paused for a moment, then dismissed it as a momentary overreaction and quickly put it out of his mind.

The night passed peacefully.

His brief conversation with the woman that morning was purely perfunctory, and to avoid any further interaction, he left without even having breakfast at the old house.

After a busy day at work, I had almost forgotten about the matter until I unexpectedly saw Yan Bei'an at the club.

Then I remembered it again.

However, it's not something that deserves too much of his time and energy.

His expression darkened, and he turned and left.

That night

Liang Liangwei took a shower and came out of the bathroom, sitting in front of the dressing table to apply skincare products.

After applying lotion and patting it in gently until absorbed, slowly apply body lotion to your limbs.

As the studio's chief stylist, the prerequisite for doing makeup and styling for others is that my own skin and appearance must be in the best condition.

Otherwise, who would trust someone who can't even manage themselves to provide good service to others?

Her personal attributes are indeed impeccable; her skin is fair and supple, smooth and bouncy like jade, with almost invisible pores.

She has a delicate and pretty face with prominent features, slightly upturned eyes that curve when she smiles, and bright, sparkling eyes that are as captivating as stars.

Her long, dark chestnut-colored curly hair cascaded down her back, making her face appear even more delicate.

She is tall and slender, with a full bust and a slim waist. Her graceful figure and every move she makes exudes femininity, making her a head-turner wherever she goes.

After finishing, I picked up the tablet on the table, went back to bed, and looked through my schedule for the next day.

Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, I will be flying with actress Le Pei-er to Shacheng to attend a wine advertisement launch. In the evening, I will also be attending an important banquet. I will have to keep her looking her best all day long. I'm going to be very busy.

She glanced at the time; it was already 11 o'clock. She yawned and made her final conversation with her assistant, Lan Yin.

Liang Liangwei: "Deliver my new makeup tool kit to the airport at 7 a.m. tomorrow."

Lan Yin: "Okay, should I bring you breakfast?"

Liang Liangwei: Yes, the airport food is expensive and unpalatable, and eating it affects my work performance for the whole day.

Lan Yin: "Is the jianbing guozi from the place downstairs okay?"

Liang Liangwei: "Sure, add more eggs~"

Lan Yin: "OK".

After saying goodnight to each other, she set her alarm for 6 a.m., put down her phone, and lay down to sleep.
