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

Ah, this distance is really... a bit too close.

Liang Liangwei subtly stepped back: "Yes, I saw you there..."

"What do you see me doing?" he asked with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

Liang Liangwei looked into his eyes: "Going on a blind date."

Yan Zhixu's smile immediately vanished: "..."

Liang Liangwei tilted her head and smiled: "Want to know why I know?"

Yan Zhixu didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly conveyed that meaning.

Liang Liangwei: "Because I am Miss He's makeup artist tonight, I heard them say while I was doing her makeup that they arranged for you to have a blind date at the party."

A hint of guilt flashed in Yan Zhixu's eyes. He coughed lightly and began to explain, "My sister-in-law couldn't refuse, so... we only chatted for a couple of minutes before I left."

Liang Liangwei blinked: "So, you didn't like her?"

Yan Zhixu: "I don't click with him."

Liang Liangwei nodded in agreement: "That's true, first impressions are quite important."

She fell in love with him at first sight.

Yan Zhixu chuckled softly, his gaze falling on her phone: "Were you just on the phone with Bei'an?"

Liang Liangwei's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but grip her phone tightly: "You... heard that?"

Yan Zhixu noticed the tension in her eyes and was somewhat puzzled: "No, I just guessed."

Liang Liangwei breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Zhixu changed the subject: "Did you drink inside just now?"

Liang Liangwei: "No, I have a job here, and I don't drink alcohol while working."

Yan Zhixu: "Then why are you sitting here? Aren't you cold?"

Liang Liangwei rubbed her arms: "A little."

Yan Zhixu immediately took off his wool coat and leaned over to cover her from behind.

Liang Liangwei: "No need—"

Yan Zhixu: "Be good, put it on."

Oh, this damn tenderness—can you please stop giving me hope only to shatter it?

Uncle, if you're kind, please go find the girl you like, okay?

Liang Liangwei gave a forced smile: "...Thank you."

He then looked away.

Yan Zhixu's gaze never left her face, slowly moving down from her eyebrows and eyes to the unsightly black mask.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and stopped in front of her nose: "Shall I take off your mask?"

Liang Liangwei looked at the fingers so close to hers—long, strong, and with distinct joints. They were an extremely handsome pair of men's hands, and now they were right in front of her… making her look like she was cross-eyed!

She blushed slightly and quickly raised her hand: "I can do it myself..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man had already pulled down her mask, his movements gentle and slow, as if he were lifting a veil covering a precious treasure.

His dark, bright eyes were fixed on her delicate face, his focused expression like a deep, still pool, unwilling to miss a single detail of her exquisite beauty.

His gaze finally settled on her red lips.

That look in her eyes... it's way too ambiguous!

The situation was so ambiguous that she couldn't help but misunderstand!

Liang Liangwei bit her lower lip lightly, reached out, and pushed him.

Yan Zhixu was pushed back a little, and came to her senses: "Hmm?"

Liang Liangwei stood up: "I'm going in."

Yan Zhixu then stood up and asked, "Have you eaten? Would you like me to get you something to eat?"

Liang Liangwei didn't dare look at him, turned around and walked to the other side, looking at the flowers in the garden: "I've already eaten."

Yan Zhixu stood behind her: "Is there a car? If not, wait a bit..."

Liang Liangwei: Yes, I drove here, and I also had to take my assistant home.

Yan Zhixu paused for a moment, then said, "If you drink later, remember to come find me."

Liang Liangwei frowned: "I said I wouldn't drink alcohol during work hours."

Yan Zhixu readily agreed, saying, "Yes, I was just saying if."

Liang Liangwei glanced back at him and scoffed, "After we part ways, who knows where you'll be going on another blind date? How am I supposed to find you then?"

Yan Zhixu was both amused and annoyed: "Where do all these blind dates come from?"

Liang Liangwei retorted defiantly, "Who knows? Anyway, President Yan is single, so there will always be enthusiastic people wanting to play matchmaker for you. If it's not Miss He, there will be ladies with all sorts of surnames~"

Yan Zhixu looked at her unhappy face and felt somewhat helpless.

Taking a deep breath, she patiently explained, "There really is no one else. My sister-in-law only brought it up because she couldn't refuse. I just made it clear to her that there won't be a next time."

As Liang Liangwei listened to his explanation, a strange feeling arose in her heart. Why was he explaining it to her in such detail?

However, she was still happy to hear it, and couldn't help but smile.

Feeling the man approaching from behind, she turned her head and saw him standing close to her—not touching, but close enough that it would be difficult for her to turn around. He was looking down at her, and his body heat was radiating from him.

She panicked and wanted to walk away to keep her distance, but then her eyes lit up.

He had placed his unlocked phone in front of her, and the screen displayed a WeChat QR code.

She was somewhat bewildered, not understanding what he meant.

Yan Zhixu's voice rang in her ear: "Didn't you want to add me on WeChat? Here you go."

Liang Liangwei was stunned.

Should I ask her to add me on WeChat?

Has he changed his ways?

Or is he mentally unstable?

"Why... why?"

Yan Zhixu asked softly, "Weren't you going to treat me to dinner? How can we contact each other without WeChat?"

She felt guilty when she talked about it, because she had stood him up that day.

Seeing her uncomfortable expression, Yan Zhixu knew she had remembered too, and said with a deep gaze, "I know you were busy that day, so you couldn't come, and because you don't have WeChat, you couldn't contact me. It's okay, I don't blame you. So let's add each other on WeChat. If you have something come up next time you want to have dinner with me, you can send me a WeChat message."

Why does it feel like... he's a bit of a tea bum?

He sounded quite aggrieved, but wasn't it him who hadn't wanted to give her his WeChat ID before?

She was secretly overjoyed, but she had to bite her lower lip to show her displeasure, pouting and saying, "I don't want to add it."

Then you see the man throw the cigarette he hadn't smoked into the flowerbed.

He braced his large hand against the pillar next to her, his voice low and menacing: "Do you want me to take your phone?"

She choked for a moment, remembering the scene in the car that day when she snatched his phone.

Does this man want to imitate her?

Fine, you can study, but why are you getting so close? And... and pinning her down with a pillar!

Isn't this him holding her in his arms? Although they're not pressed tightly together, isn't this already considered holding her in his arms?

She instinctively protected her phone in her pocket, and said aggrievedly, "You were the one who said you wouldn't add them!"

The man hummed in agreement: "I regret it. I apologize. I'm sorry."

She shook her phone again and coaxed softly, "Add one more, okay?"

Good heavens, who could stand this!

Liang Liangwei felt her heart pounding like a drum that was beating for free.

puff~

puff~

It almost jumped out!

"Aren't you angry?" she asked, referring to the time he stood her up.

It was a nonsensical statement, but he actually understood it: "No, one time each, it's even."

"Okay, then." She reluctantly took out her phone, opened WeChat, and scanned his QR code.

"Ding," added successfully.

The man's phone also responded, and without any hesitation, he added her as a friend right in front of her, typing on the screen with his slender fingers, adding the nickname "Weiwei".

Liang Liangwei smiled, but then stopped, suddenly turning around to face him and looking him in the eye.

Yan Zhixu lowered his eyes and looked at her as well.

Their eyes met, and in a flash, their gazes exchanged glances; both of them opened their mouths.
