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

"you--"

"you--"

The two spoke at the same time, and then stopped speaking at the same time.

Liang Liangwei sniffed and said, "We've added each other on WeChat. Can you let me in? I need to go in. I have a makeup assignment, and if I don't provide good service, I might get fined."

Yan Zhixu readily agreed and stepped back, raising an eyebrow upon hearing her words: "They'll deduct money too?"

He knew very little about the rules of her industry, only that Yan Bei'an had mentioned that she was quite famous.

Liang Liangwei: "Yeah, the service was unsatisfactory."

Thinking of the lesson she learned last time, she couldn't help but sigh: "That day in Shacheng, when I had to go to the hospital for an IV drip because of gastritis, even though I didn't miss anything, Le Peier still gave me 10,000 yuan less. 10,000 yuan! I ended up paying it back myself."

Yan Zhixu narrowed his eyes: "You didn't do it on purpose, and you didn't delay her business, so why should I deduct your pay?"

Liang Liangwei shrugged: "That is indeed my fault. Who told me to get sick? It's not normal for them to use this against me and deduct money from my paycheck."

However, Le Pei'er is now on her blacklist, so she can forget about having any opportunities to work with her next time.

She glanced at the man and said earnestly, "President Yan, it's not easy being a worker. You should treat your employees better in the future. If someone is absent from work without reason, you should pay more attention to them. Maybe they've encountered a special situation. After all, making money isn't easy, and who would joke about their job?"

Yan Zhixu was slightly taken aback, then chuckled, "Alright, I'll follow your advice."

He reached out and gently ruffled her hair, saying softly, "Then don't miss it this time, let's go in."

Liang Liangwei was stunned when she saw the undisguised pity in his eyes.

The ringing of her phone pulled her from her reverie. Looking down, she saw it was Lan Yin calling and quickly answered, "Lan, what's up?"

Lan Yin: "Rachel, where are you? Miss He said she needs to touch up her makeup."

"I'm coming right away." Liang Liangwei hung up the phone, said goodbye to the man, and quickly entered the venue.

Behind her, the man stood still, his deep black eyes watching her figure walk away until she was out of sight, before turning his gaze away and looking down at the new friend's nickname on his phone.

A moment later, the corners of his handsome lips curved into a smile.

They also put away their phones and entered the venue.

When Liang Liangwei returned to the lounge, she saw He Yaxiu already sitting there with a frown on her face, looking rather unhappy.

Upon seeing Liang Liangwei, he said, "Help me touch up my makeup, quickly."

Liang Liangwei responded.

The room was heated, and she subconsciously took off her coat, only to realize that she had forgotten to return it to Yan Zhixu.

There was obviously no time to go out now, so I picked up a clothes rack by the wall and hung it up.

He Yaxiu watched her movements in the mirror, her gaze falling on the men's wool coat in her hand, and she looked somewhat suspicious.

Liang Liangwei didn't notice her gaze. She washed her hands, walked over, took the tools Lan Yin handed her, and began to touch up her makeup.

Aside from touching up her eye makeup, He Yaxiu kept her eyes open the whole time, occasionally making eye contact with Liang Liangwei. Seeing that she was still wearing a mask, she asked, "Did you just go to the cocktail party?"

Liang Liangwei hummed in agreement.

He Yaxiu: "I didn't see you."

Liang Liangwei: "I told you I was just staying in the corner. You were in the light and I was in the dark, so of course you couldn't see me."

He glanced at He Yaxiu and smiled: "I saw your blind date."

He Yaxiu's expression changed slightly, and a hint of unease flashed in her eyes: "I met many of my parents' friends. Are you sure you saw that one?"

Liang Liangwei blinked: "Because I found one of the men to be very handsome and tall. You were the one who said he was handsome, right? Am I mistaken?"

He Yaxiu thought of the man's handsome face and noble demeanor, and her heart fluttered. She smiled and said, "Then it should be right."

Liang Liangwei: "So, did it succeed?"

He Yaxiu's smile froze for a moment, and she said tactfully, "Well... if we just got to know each other as friends the first time we met, it can't be considered a success. We'll have to see how things go with our interactions."

Liang Liangwei said calmly, "But first impressions are very important. If you click, you should exchange WeChat contacts. Have you added each other yet?"

"..." He Yaxiu's eyes flickered, "Of course... I added it."

Liang Liangwei gave her a meaningful look, then smiled without saying a word.

She saw Yan Zhixu's WeChat profile when she added him. He saved her name in his contact list and then left the page. There was no notification on his WeChat profile that she had just added someone as a friend.

He Yaxiu saw her upturned eyebrows and became a little angry: "What are you laughing at?"

Liang Liangwei: "A smile is definitely a blessing! I wish you two a smooth relationship!"

He Yaxiu: "...Thank you."

Her gaze fell again on the wool coat on the clothes rack behind her. Was it just her imagination? She felt that the style of that coat looked familiar, as if she had seen someone wear it before.

"Why are you wearing a man's coat?"

Liang Liangwei remained expressionless: "I went to the small garden to get some fresh air, and it was a bit chilly. I happened to run into an acquaintance, and he lent me his things."

He Yaxiu: "Are there any people you know at the party?"

Liang Liangwei: "Mm."

He Yaxiu glanced at her sideways: "You're even willing to lend me your clothes? Don't you think that's a bit ambiguous? Is he your boyfriend?"

Liang Liangwei smiled, liking the word "boyfriend": "If you want to say yes, that's fine too~"

He Yaxiu was dumbfounded: "...Yes or no, my boyfriend can say 'it's okay'?"

Liang Liangwei smiled, finished touching up her makeup, and said playfully, "Miss He, are you very interested in me? You came here to touch up your makeup for that gentleman, right? Don't keep them waiting~"

He Yaxiu's expression hardened: "Who's interested in you? I don't even know you."

He got up, looked at himself in the mirror, and was fairly satisfied, so he turned and left.

Before leaving, I glanced at the coat one last time before closing the door.

Liang Liangwei slowly washed her hands, while Lan Yin packed up her tools. She hadn't said anything earlier, but she had heard everything. Now that no one was around, she asked out of curiosity.

"Rachel, whose clothes are those? Are they really your boyfriend's?"

Liang Liangwei glanced at her and said with a playful laugh, "You believed me when I was teasing her? It was just a friend who lent it to me. It's really cold outside. You'll see when we get back."

Lan Yin said with a grin, "Although, Miss He is right, it is indeed a bit ambiguous for a man to borrow a woman's coat."

Liang Liangwei said irritably, "If that's the case, then wouldn't it be ambiguous for a male doctor to treat a female patient?"

Lan Yin chuckled: "That's different. For doctors, it's their duty."

Liang Liangwei tapped her forehead with her finger: "Don't spread rumors. I'm going to return him later. He... has someone he likes."

Lan Yin nodded with a smile: "I know, I keep my mouth shut, hehe."

"Is she mimicking what she just said to He Yaxiu?" Liang Liangwei smiled.

Turning around, her gaze fell on the coat. Thinking of the pity she had seen in the man's eyes before they parted, she was momentarily lost in thought.

What exactly does he mean?

Would he do the same to a girl he likes?
