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

Was he planning to call Yan Bei'an over to take care of her?

What a jerk! He actually wants to abandon her!

She was furious, but she couldn't show it. If he saw it, it would expose that she was faking being drunk. Her pretty face instantly tightened.

The number rang a few times after being dialed, and although Yan Bei'an hadn't answered yet, who knew when he would answer?

Should we really let him come and get in our way?

She gritted her teeth, wrapped her arms around the man's neck like vines, and tried to stand up.

"I don't want to sit, the chair is too cold!"

Yan Zhixu had to move his phone away and hold her tightly around the waist with his other hand to prevent her from falling.

He glanced at the wooden chair and said, "Is it cold? I didn't notice."

She nodded and muttered softly, "It's cold. You didn't even notice if it was cold before making me sit down. Are you deliberately torturing me?"

Yan Zhixu looked down at her. The woman's eyes were clear and misty, her eyebrows and eyes were red, and she was charmingly drunk. Her pouting lips were pink and alluring, and her breath was fragrant.

They were only inches apart, their breaths mingling, warm and sweet, carrying the scent of wine and her unique feminine fragrance.

The man's dark eyes grew increasingly somber, as deep and unfathomable as a black pool.

A faint, alluring color suddenly surged from the bottom of the pool.

He hid it very well.

Just then, Yan Beian's phone was suddenly answered, and his voice came through: "Uncle?"

Yan Zhixu's eyes flickered slightly as she was about to bring the phone to her ear to respond.

At this moment, Liang Liangwei suddenly whispered, "I want to go back."

Yan Zhixu paused halfway up her hand, her fingers tightening around the phone, and whispered back, "Back where? To Beian?"

Liang Liangwei: "It's a private room for friends. I didn't come with Yan Bei'an."

Yan Zhixu stared intently at her: "Friend, male or female?"

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "Female~"

Yan Zhixu's lips curled slightly.

Not hearing Yan Zhixu's response, Yan Beian raised his voice: "Hey, Uncle? Why aren't you saying anything? Is there something you need, Uncle?"

The sound was quite noticeable in the secluded little garden, but the two people in the intimate embrace seemed to ignore it completely.

Yan Zhixu: "If you can stand firmly, then let go."

Liang Liangwei said in a soft, breathy voice, "I don't have any strength, yet you're making me sit on this cool chair?"

Yan Zhixu: "Are you just going to make me hold you like this without moving?"

Liang Liangwei looked innocent: "Then you can let go, I'll just fall down~ I think I'm a little drunk, anyway, I'm slow to react when I'm drunk, so it won't hurt if I fall."

Yan Beian's voice continued on the phone.

Yan Zhixu said with some helplessness, "I'll have Bei'an come and pick you up."

Liang Liangwei nestled her face against his shoulder, gently nuzzling him: "No~"

Yan Zhixu's breathing suddenly quickened, and his hand around the woman's slender waist tightened slightly. His voice was low and husky: "Be good, don't make a fuss, he's answered."

The way the two of them were positioned, the distance between them, and the content of their conversation made them look just like a couple embracing and whispering secrets. It was ambiguous, intimate, and sweet, making people feel conflicted yet unable to resist.

Liang Liangwei drawled out an "Mmm~": "I said no~"

She wouldn't be so clingy if she weren't drunk.

Only in moments like these could he allow himself to hold her tightly in his arms.

I can't bear to let go.

"Did you have a fight with him?"

"No." Liang Liangwei bit her lip.

We had a disagreement.

She sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "I really hate men right now because one man offended me today."

That must be referring to him.

Yan Zhixu smiled indulgently: "But the person you're holding right now is also a man."

Liang Liangwei tilted her head, blinked, and looked at him with particularly innocent eyes, but what she said made him both angry and annoyed: "Are you... a man?"

Yan Zhixu paused, trying to ignore her increasingly rapid heartbeat, her dark eyes flashing with an even darker light.

Seeing her dazed and confused state, completely oblivious to the ways of the world, and seemingly at the mercy of others, he teased her in a hoarse voice, "Want to... give it a try?"

Then he saw the woman raise her head, her bright black eyes staring straight at him, her smooth cheeks flushed even more, and her red lips parted slightly, uttering two tempting words: "Okay~"

Yan Zhixu: "..."

He was so angry he actually laughed.

He asked casually, and she actually dared to answer!

It was because of her "okay" that he instantly realized he had been tricked—she wasn't drunk at all!

Ha, so you're so blatantly flirting with him under the influence of alcohol, aren't you?

That little pervert is really bold!

When Liang Liangwei saw his mocking smile, she knew she had been exposed for pretending to be drunk. She was annoyed and glared at him before letting go of his hand, wanting to end the ambiguous embrace.

Being drunk gives you an excuse, but being sober is just too embarrassing.

But before she could leave his embrace, the man forcefully pulled her back into his arms.

The man stared at her rosy lips for a moment before moving his gaze up to her delicate features: "I'll take you home."

Liang Liangwei: "Then let me go."

Yan Zhixu slowly released her hand, creating distance between them.

As soon as Liang Liangwei was free, she pushed him away, glared at him, and turned to walk out: "I still have to go see my friends, I'm not leaving so early, you don't need to see me off."

Yan Zhixu followed behind: "Is it really a woman?"

Liang Liangwei: "What's it to you!"

Yan Zhixu said leisurely, "Yes, I'll take care of it."

Liang Liangwei suddenly turned around and glared at him, questioning, "Aren't you very busy? Don't you have no time to see me? Isn't your schedule a top-secret matter? Go ahead and do your work, why do you have to interfere with me? You're annoying, you know that!"

Yan Zhixu looked quietly into her eyes and saw a hint of anger and stubbornness, as well as a suppressed sob in her voice. His heart ached, but he couldn't respond to her.

He simply raised his hand to show her his phone and said in a deep voice, "Should I deliver it, or should Bei'an deliver it? You choose."

Yan Beian's call had already been disconnected.

Liang Liangwei looked up: "Yan Bei'an, I want Yan Bei'an to deliver it!"

Yan Zhixu remained silent.

Liang Liangwei urged, "Why don't you make a call!"

Yan Zhixu: "..."

After a brief standoff, Yan Zhixu finally gave in and said softly, "I'll take you there. Go get your things."

Liang Liangwei: "I don't care! I drove here, I'll find a designated driver myself!"

Yan Zhixu: "It's so late, it's not safe for a girl to hire a designated driver alone."

Liang Liangwei said sarcastically, "So you're saying you're never safe without me, right?"

Yan Zhixu: "It's good that you know."

Liang Liangwei: "..."

You're getting all worked up just because I called you fat!

She gritted her teeth and stared at him for a long time before snorting and turning back to the private room.

Yan Zhixu stopped chasing her and followed her at a distance. When he saw her enter a private room, he casually peeked through the crack in the door and saw that there seemed to be quite a few people inside.

She turned her gaze away and called Yan Beian again.

Yan Bei'an quickly replied, "Uncle."

Yan Zhixu lowered her brows and said, "Mm."

Yan Bei'an: "Why didn't my uncle say anything when he called me just now?"

Yan Zhixu remained expressionless: "My phone was in my pocket, and I accidentally pressed it."

Yan Bei'an: "..."

He couldn't say anything to his uncle, so he coughed lightly and said, "Uncle, I'm at the company right now. They said there was a technical problem here, so I'm staying with them. I haven't gone anywhere else."

Yan Zhixu: "Mm."

"If there's nothing else, then..." Yan Bei paused, "would you like to hang up first?"

Yan Zhixu didn't reply and hung up immediately.

He looked up and saw Liang Liangwei had already come out of the private room, looking at him with a slight frown.
