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

Liang Wenyi was a confidential overseas staff member handling relations between countries, so he naturally had much better access to information than others.

He was very careful with his words. Even if he was very confident about what would happen tomorrow, he would always add "if nothing unexpected happens" to avoid giving others cause for criticism.

Liang Liangwei understood, so she didn't tell Zhou Mei the news for the time being. Through subtle inquiries, she discovered that neither Zhou Mei nor Xu Chaofeng knew about it, which meant that Yan Zhixu's other assistant in the United States was also unaware of it.

Sure enough, the next morning, not long after she woke up, Yan Zhixu called, seemingly right on cue.

Seeing that familiar name appear on the caller ID, she was so excited she almost rolled around on the bed!

I quickly calmed myself down, cleared my throat, and then solemnly pressed the answer button.

"Hey?"

Yan Zhixu's deep, familiar voice came through the microphone: "Weiwei, you're awake?"

Liang Liangwei's eyes reddened instantly. She covered her mouth and whispered, "Yes, I just woke up."

Her voice trembled, and she couldn't help but feel frustrated. She had been trying her best to control herself, but it seemed to be of no use.

Taking a deep breath, she raised her voice slightly to make it sound more cheerful: "You finally got your phone?"

“Yes,” Yan Zhixu said slowly, “I’m sorry to have worried you.”

Liang Liangwei couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "I was quite worried. I was shocked when I first saw the news. I even wondered if the news was wrong and if someone else was being detained. What exactly happened?"

Yan Zhixu remained silent for a while.

Liang Liangwei realized what was happening: "Can't I say? Is someone next to you?"

Yan Zhixu smiled and said, "Smart~"

So this is what regulation is all about—just sending someone to sit and watch!

She thought it was some kind of surveillance or electronic means.

She said indignantly, "What do you mean? Isn't this going too far? Why are you being treated like this? I saw in the news that you're being accused of endangering their national security. That's ridiculous. Is their national security that fragile?"

Yan Zhixu: "Just a routine tactic."

It has been used many times before. Whenever it wants to suppress other countries, it always uses the excuse that other countries endanger its national security.

Liang Liangwei: "Has there been any talk about when this will end? I see the government is publicly demanding that they release you."

Yan Zhixu: "Soon."

Liang Liangwei: "Can you come back before the New Year?"

Yan Zhixu said tactfully, "It's hard to say. It depends on which side can't hold on any longer and has to compromise first."

Liang Liangwei reassured her, "I saw what was said online yesterday. The government over there is about to collapse. Many people are opposing the palace and going against us, so you should be able to come back soon."

Yan Zhixu: "Yes, very soon. Wait for me, we'll celebrate the New Year together."

Liang Liangwei's eyes lit up, and her heart skipped a beat.

Is he implying that she will definitely be able to come out before the new year?

She suppressed her excitement and said, "I'll go to the hospital this afternoon and tell my aunt. She'll be very happy."

Yan Zhixu chuckled: "Auntie? It sounds so natural to call her that?"

Liang Liangwei blushed and retorted, "She told me to call her that. I was originally calling her Miss Zhou..."

Yan Zhixu said with a smile, "Yes, that's how you should call them. And don't be so formal with your grandparents."

Liang Liangwei's face flushed even more, feeling a little embarrassed to say that she had been calling her these names almost every day for the past week or so...

He patted his cheeks and said casually, "By the way, speaking of Grandma, she's been resting very well these past few days. The doctor said that after a while, she can wait to have her surgery scheduled. Don't worry, it's just that it's hard to get a heart transplant, it takes time."

Yan Zhixu: "I know that, it can't be rushed. Thank you for taking care of them for me these past few days."

Liang Liangwei stuck out her tongue and said, "Actually, I didn't take care of them much. Assistant Xu did most of the work. At most, I would go over to chat with my grandparents and take my aunt for a walk around the neighborhood."

Yan Zhixu said softly, "You helped me appease them, how can that not count as taking care of them? My aunt has been praising you to me, saying that you made my grandparents very happy, and that it's my good fortune to have you as my girlfriend, and that I can't let you down in this life, otherwise she'll sever our aunt-nephew relationship and adopt you as her niece instead~"

Liang Liangwei chuckled: "She really said that?"

Yan Zhixu: "It's true, that's what Wei Qing relayed."

Liang Liangwei asked curiously, "Who is Wei Qing?"

Yan Zhixu: "My assistant here."

Liang Liangwei covered her face. Zhou Mei had to contact Yan Zhixu through her assistant Wei Qing. Aren't they embarrassed that their private topics were being passed around like this?

She rolled over in bed and changed the subject: "You just got your phone today, have you been making calls all day?"

Yan Zhixu: "No, they stipulate that you can only make 3 phone calls a day, and each call can only last 5 minutes."

Liang Liangwei clicked her tongue in surprise: "Are you that demanding? How many calls have you made this time?"

Yan Zhixu: "The third one."

Liang Liangwei: "Oh..."

So she wasn't number one after all.

He even said he would definitely contact her immediately, but in reality, he was the last one in line!

Hmph, Liang Wenyi is a big liar who fools people!

Seemingly sensing the dissatisfaction in her tone, Yan Zhixu explained helplessly, "When I got the phone, it was daytime here, but it was the middle of the night where you are, Weiwei. I couldn't wake you up just for a phone call, so the first call was to your brother, the second was to Wei Qing, and this third call was after I waited for most of the day to finally have time to call you, so I called you as soon as possible."

Before Liang Liangwei had even finished listening, the corners of her lips had already curled up.

Okay, he had a valid reason, so she accepted it.

"Isn't there anyone else you want to call?"

Yan Zhixu naturally knew what his girlfriend wanted to hear most, and he said, "Your brother and Wei Qing will relay the message to others, but I want to talk to you personally."

Liang Liangwei felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and pink bubbles filled the room.

She playfully retorted, "Sweet talk~"

“It’s true,” Yan Zhixu chuckled. “There’s one minute left. Is there anything else you want to say to me?”

Liang Liangwei was surprised. So fast?

Feeling embarrassed, she quickly replied, "Yes, I miss you so much~"

Yan Zhixu's voice softened as she said, "I miss you too."

After these words were spoken, a sense of ambiguity arose between them, and both fell silent for a moment.

Liang Liangwei quickly realized she was wasting time and hurriedly asked, "Will your phone always be with you? Can I contact you anytime?"

Yan Zhixu: "I'm afraid that won't work. Although they gave me the phone, they have equipment that can block the phone signal, so I can't make or receive calls."

Liang Liangwei said resentfully, "They are really annoying!"

Yan Zhixu followed up, saying, "They really are annoying."

They both burst out laughing.

Silently counting the time in her mind, Liang Liangwei's heart began to race: "Yan Zhixu..."

Yan Zhixu's voice was very gentle: "Hmm?"

Liang Liangwei mustered her courage and said, "I love you."

Yan Zhixu was slightly taken aback, but quickly replied, "Me too..."

beep-

The signal was interrupted, and his words were cut off at the most crucial word.

Liang Liangwei stared in disbelief at the screen that showed the call had ended.

Is it such a coincidence?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, a man equally taken aback by being interrupted slowly shifted his gaze from his phone to Commissioner Smith, who was staring at him a few meters away, and couldn't help but utter a vulgar phrase—

"Hold!"

Commissioner Smith was completely bewildered: "What?"
