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

Soon, he remembered that he had agreed with her last night to have lunch together today, and she would probably come to Bosch to find him.

Thinking about it that way made me feel better again.

After having breakfast, I went out.

I arrived at the company half an hour later and got to work.

At 8:50, Xu Chaofeng knocked on the door and came in: "President Yan, Chairman Qin has arrived."

Yan Zhixu: "Please take me to the reception room. I'll be there in a bit."

"Yes."

After reviewing the document in his hand and confirming that it was correct, Yan Zhixu signed his name at the end.

He put the documents aside, got up, grabbed his suit jacket, and put it on, slowly buttoning it up one button at a time.

When she touched her abdomen, she suddenly paused, because she thought of the dream she had last night.

The woman sat on his lap, brazenly touching his abs, and making a fuss about his physical reactions...

He was lying down with his head raised, and what he saw was enough to make his blood boil.

As soon as I thought that, my body reacted almost instantly.

He looked down at that impressive spot, his expression complex and somber, and after a while he muttered a curse under his breath.

He quickly buttoned up the remaining buttons, then downed the half-cold coffee on the table in one gulp.

Then he stood by the table, pursed his lips, closed his eyes, and tried to suppress the inappropriate thoughts.

After a long while, he finally let out a long breath.

His handsome face softened, and he gently brushed the front of his suit jacket before walking out of the office as if nothing had happened.

Upon arriving at the reception room, he pushed open the door and entered. Inside sat Chairman Qin, whom he had stood up at the club the previous night, and several of his subordinates.

When Chairman Qin saw him, he stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Yan."

"Chairman Qin."

The two shook hands, and Yan Zhixu gestured for them to sit down.

Yan Zhixu: "I'm sorry about last night, there was a last-minute problem."

Chairman Qin smiled and said, "It's alright, I understand it's a temporary situation, President Yan, there's no need to worry."

Yan Zhixu responded with a slight smile.

More than an hour later, the conversation ended smoothly, and the cooperation project was considered to have a starting point. The two parties stood up and shook hands again.

Chairman Qin: "It's almost noon. I wonder if President Yan has time to have lunch together to make up for last night's disappointment?"

Yan Zhixu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I already have an appointment at noon. How about tonight? It can be the same club as last night. I'll host a banquet for Chairman Qin."

Xu Chaofeng, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat bewildered.

Do you have plans for lunch? It's not on my schedule.

Could it be that President Yan made a last-minute appointment with a business partner and hasn't had a chance to tell him yet?

Chairman Qin didn't mind and smiled, "Okay, see you tonight."

After seeing Chairman Qin and his party off, Yan Zhixu turned and walked back to his office.

Xu Chaofeng chimed in, "President Yan, who did you meet for lunch? Would you like me to make a reservation?"

Yan Zhixu: "No need."

She said she wanted to treat him to dinner, and that she might have already made a reservation; he just needed to wait and cooperate.

Thinking of what happened yesterday at noon, he paused in his steps as he was about to enter the office, turned his head and instructed, "Tell the receptionist downstairs that when you see Miss Liang at noon, let her come up directly."

Xu Chaofeng immediately understood that he had invited Miss Liang to lunch.

He replied respectfully, "Yes."

Watching President Yan enter the office in a good mood, his gaze became somewhat conflicted.

Should we relentlessly remind him—Miss Liang is your nephew's girlfriend, have you forgotten?

……

Never mind, a dog's life is more important.

Yan Zhixu returned to her desk, took off her coat and hung it up, then checked the time: 10:45.

She arrived around this time yesterday. He later reviewed the security footage and saw that she lingered in front of the display case downstairs for quite a while.

I don't know when today will come.

Or have we already arrived?

He sat down and slowly manipulated the mouse to open the monitoring.

There were four surveillance videos from different angles in the lobby downstairs on the screen, and he watched them one by one.

People walked by in the lobby from time to time, but she wasn't there.

He wasn't in a hurry; after watching for a while, he went on to do other things.

He would just look up every few minutes.

At first, nothing seemed amiss, but gradually, his expression darkened, then his brows furrowed, and finally his eyes became serious.

……

At 12 o'clock, Xu Chaofeng knocked on the door and asked cautiously, "President Yan, Miss Liang... doesn't seem to have arrived yet. Should I order food for you?"

He was quite hesitant. Miss Liang had arrived much earlier yesterday at this time, but now…

If President Yan has no food to eat, then even the meals he ordered as his assistant can't be eaten.

What's wrong with being a little embarrassed?

Why does he always feel that President Yan is more embarrassed than he is?

Yan Zhixu gave him a sinister look: "...Order it."

Xu Chaofeng: "...Okay."

The door closed, and Yan Zhixu withdrew her gaze, looked at the computer screen again, and after confirming that the figure was not there, picked up her phone from the table, swiped it casually, and then tossed it aside.

She finally convinced herself that she was probably retaliating against him for what happened yesterday at noon.

I couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

Yet, he was utterly helpless against her.

Liang Liangwei was secretly enjoying herself in her studio office at that moment.

I wonder how that man will react when he gets stood up.

I really want to go see it in person, but if I go, it would be like standing him up, so I can only imagine it here.

You're not going to give her your WeChat ID, are you?

Hmph, then let him taste what it's like to have nowhere to vent his anger!

A knock came at the door, and she answered, resting her chin on her hand, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and she shifted her gaze from the computer screen to the doorway, where Su Xiaorong stood.

Seeing her mischievous smile made Liang Liangwei a little scared. She remembered her teasing at the club last night, and her teeth ached.

Sure enough, Su Xiaorong closed the door and walked towards her, holding a freshly brewed cup of coffee. She was clearly there to watch the drama unfold. She stood by her table, smiling at her.

"Go ahead."

Liang Liangwei feigned ignorance: "What?"

Su Xiaorong: "What happened next last night?"

Liang Liangwei pointed at the pictures on the computer, pretending to be very busy: "What follow-up? There is no follow-up."

Su Xiaorong clicked her tongue: "So they picked you up so early just to mess with my birthday? I'm not happy about that."

Liang Liangwei: "He offered to take me home because he saw that I had been drinking and was worried that I wouldn't be able to drive home safely."

Su Xiaorong looked incredulous: "Oh wow, so he's just a figurehead as a substitute driver?"

Liang Liangwei twirled a strand of hair, smiling alluringly: "A beautiful young woman like me, having a strange male driver take me home would be so unreliable!"

Su Xiaorong looked disgusted, shrugging her shoulders and shivering: "Can't you speak properly? So all the times I used a designated driver before were safe, but just because he ran into me last night, designated drivers have become unreliable?"

Liang Liangwei thought to herself, "That's right. Every time that man sees her drinking, his first reaction is to take her home, and he's quite insistent about it."

Su Xiaorong gave an ambiguous smile: "Besides, who is he? Why should he tell you what to do about drinking? If you didn't have some kind of affair with him, would you obediently let him deliver your drinks?"

What is his identity? The "boyfriend's" uncle?

Seeing that she only smiled and didn't answer, Su Xiaorong took a sip of coffee and began to probe: "He's quite handsome, with a good temperament, and dressed in high-end bespoke clothes. Whose son is he? A company leader? Or does he have a special status?"

Liang Liangwei smiled at her and said, "Keep guessing, you'll be right soon."

Su Xiaorong: "She doesn't look like an ordinary person at all."

That's true; the Yan family is considered a prominent and influential family in Huacheng.

Judging from Yan Beian's words, although his uncle does not directly manage the Yan family's Jinghang Group, his family conglomerate overseas seems to have a more powerful background.

In addition, he also holds shares in Jinghang Group, so he has a dual identity.

Su Xiaorong: "His identity is secondary, I definitely can't guess. What I'm most interested in right now is—is he really your suitor?"

After considering for a moment, Liang Liangwei said, "Actually, I'm the one pursuing him."
