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

Liang Liangwei quickly understood why the call had suddenly dropped; it must have been because Yan Zhixu had said that the cell phone signal had been blocked.

She glanced at her phone dismissively, muttering angrily to herself, "That internet celebrity president across the ocean is just stirring up trouble!"

However, remembering Yan Zhixu's incomplete words—"Me too..."

It should mean that he loves her too, right?

She couldn't help but smile again.

He should be back soon.

He tossed his phone aside and got up to wash up.

When she came downstairs, Aunt Zhang had already prepared breakfast.

"Miss Liang, please have breakfast."

Liang Liangwei responded and sat down at the dining table to begin eating.

Aunt Zhang went back to the kitchen to clean up, while talking to her.

"Miss Liang, the driver from the old house delivered a duck early this morning, saying that it should be used to make soup for some guests at the hospital to help them recover."

The person who made these arrangements at the old house was probably Xiao Ling, and it was also the old man's idea. They have always been very good at etiquette.

The Zhou family are the maternal relatives of Yan Zhixu's birth mother, and it's rare for them to return to China. Given the current special circumstances—Yan Zhixu is not in the country—the Yan family will definitely make sure to treat the Zhou family with the utmost respect.

Liang Liangwei: "Then remember to blanch it a couple more times, because the two elderly people in the Zhou family can't eat very oily food."

These past few days, Aunt Zhang has found out who is staying in the hospital and knows their important status, so she's been putting even more effort into preparing the meals.

Aunt Zhang: Okay, I understand.

After having breakfast, Liang Liangwei went out to work.

When they arrived at the company building, they ran into Su Xiaorong, and the two of them took the elevator upstairs together.

Seeing the slight upturn of her lips, Su Xiaorong said, "You're acting very strange today."

Liang Liangwei tilted her head and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Su Xiaorong: "You're laughing."

Liang Liangwei was both amused and exasperated: "Huh? When haven't I been laughing?"

Su Xiaorong clicked her tongue and said, "It's different. That kind of smile felt very official, a fake smile, devoid of emotion. Today's smile is different. You're smiling from the bottom of your heart, with a girlish shyness, like a lily nourished by spring rain, exuding the fragrance of love..."

Liang Liangwei said coolly, "How about I sign you up for the elementary school essay competition?"

Su Xiaorong spat at her: "Don't interrupt my train of thought... no, I was just describing your smile, I think it's very fitting~"

The elevator doors opened, and Liang Liangwei stepped out without looking back. Su Xiaorong quickly followed.

Several employees greeted them on the way: "Good morning, Director Su. Good morning, Director Liang."

The two responded one by one.

Su Xiaorong grabbed Liang Liangwei's hand and whispered, "I'm serious. You seem to be in a good mood today. Is there some news about your boss?"

Liang Liangwei opened the office door, pulled her inside, and closed the door before nodding, unable to suppress a smile: "Yes, he called me this morning."

“I knew it!” Su Xiaorong was happy with her too, and then asked with concern, “What’s his situation now? Has he been released? Yesterday the news said he was being detained. The media didn’t know anything about him. There are a lot of people on the internet making a fuss, telling the Chinese over there to organize a prison break or something. It’s hilarious.”

Liang Liangwei chuckled as well: "There's such a thing?"

Su Xiaorong: "Of course! He's now the number one anti-pretty guy, he's been pushed to a very high position, the kind of person who becomes a god as soon as he comes out! Hey, has he come out yet?"

Liang Liangwei: Not yet. Although freedom is still limited, we can already contact the outside world.

Su Xiaorong hurriedly took out her phone to search online, frowning as she said, "They didn't say anything, it's still the same progress as yesterday."

Liang Liangwei: "The media won't be able to get this news out so quickly. The two sides' officials need to communicate first before the news can be released."

She said seriously, "We should keep this information to ourselves; it must not be leaked."

Su Xiaorong nodded hurriedly and pursed her lips: "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Liang Liangwei responded, "Come in."

Lan Yin pushed the door open and came in, and Su Xiaorong left first.

At noon, Liang Liangwei arrived at the hospital, where Aunt Zhang had already delivered the meal.

Now, Aunt Zhang delivers the meals up to the eighth floor. Liang Liangwei ran into her downstairs as she was about to leave, and the two greeted each other.

Aunt Zhang looked somewhat grave and said to Liang Liangwei, "Miss Liang, the Zhou family matriarch somehow found out about the young master's accident abroad. She almost fainted from crying just now. She barely recovered and is still wiping away tears. The people upstairs are comforting her. You should go up and take a look."

Liang Liangwei was startled. Without asking any more questions, she simply replied "Okay" and hurried upstairs.

In her haste, she complained that the elevator was too slow. Hospital elevators are slow to begin with. She was getting anxious as she looked at the floor display. Finally, she reached the eighth floor and hurried toward her ward.

Pushing open the ward door, as expected, the first thing you hear is Old Mrs. Zhou sobbing inside: "Just keep it from me, anyway, your father and I are old and senile, we shouldn't know anything!"

Mr. Zhou: "Don't be anxious, talk to them nicely, I just calmed down a bit..."

Zhou Mei: "Mom, I apologize to you, I apologize to Dad, it's all our fault, please stop crying, okay?"

Doctor: "Yes, madam. It's been a long time since we got you back to health. Please don't let your family and younger relatives worry."

Liang Liangwei walked to the bedside and stood next to Zhou Mei. She saw the old lady sitting on the bed with red eyes, holding a tissue in her hand and wiping away tears. The old gentleman was gently comforting her, while the others stood by anxiously.

Zhou Mei glanced at her and breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Weiwei's here?"

As soon as she arrived, everyone looked at her.

Liang Liangwei smiled and said to the old lady, "Grandma, don't worry."

She then asked Zhou Mei, "Auntie, didn't you tell Grandma that Yan Zhixu has already contacted us?"

Zhou Mei: "I told her, but your grandmother insisted that we were just fooling her and didn't believe me."

She then said to the old lady, "We told you, but you didn't believe us. Now that Weiwei is here, she says the same thing. You should believe us now, right? I've been here all morning and I didn't conspire with her on the phone."

The old lady then asked Liang Liangwei for confirmation: "Is Ah Xu really alright? Weiwei, my good child, don't lie to your grandma."

Liang Liangwei: "Really."

She took out her phone and showed the old lady the call log: "Look, this is a call he made to me around 7 a.m. He already told me he was safe."

Mr. Zhou took the phone, looked at it, and pointed it out to the old lady: "It really is, it really is Ah Xu's phone calling, he's not lying to us."

The old woman asked, "What did he say?"

Liang Liangwei: "He said he was fine, eating and sleeping well, and that no one had done anything to him or dared to do anything to him. Apart from not having his freedom, he was also allowed to assist his assistant with work-related matters."

The old lady then calmed down.

Everyone else was relieved.

Doctor: "Talk to the old lady clearly and don't upset her anymore."

After seeing the doctor off, Liang Liangwei whispered to Zhou Mei, "How did Grandma know?"

Zhou Mei said helplessly, "She went to the corridor to stretch her body and heard the nurses talking about this. When she came back, she cried and asked us if it was true. I could only say it was true, and then she fainted. It scared me to death."

Liang Liangwei: "Thankfully, he let us know he was safe this morning."

Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to talk to the elderly.

Zhou Mei was still shaken: "That's right."
