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

Yan Zhixu walked into the main house and saw Old Master Yan and Yan Yunting sitting on the sofa, chatting.

"Dad, eldest brother."

Hearing the sound, the two turned around.

Yan Yunting smiled and said, "Zhixu is back? Dad and I were just talking about you, so we came over to chat."

Yan Zhixu walked to the sofa and was about to sit down when she heard this. She glanced at Yan Yunting and asked, "What are you talking about me about?"

Yan Yunting chuckled and said, "Why are you so nervous? It's just about a few of Bosch's recent projects in China. I only heard about them from rumors. You're back just in time to tell Dad yourself."

Yan Zhixu sat down and pursed her lips: "I'm not nervous. Those projects are still in the evaluation stage, and only one of them just finalized its plan today."

The old man looked at him gently: "Are you planning to expand your business to the domestic market?"

Yan Zhixu lowered her brows. She had considered this before, but now... she didn't know whether she should continue.

He said calmly, "We'll see. If the market isn't right, we might give up."

The old man said, "How could it be inappropriate? The country is now opening up the market to funds and projects. Our domestic market is so big, what project can't be done? If you have an idea, go for it with confidence."

He paused, then added, "If it's a problem on your maternal grandfather's side, just say the word, and I'll speak on his behalf."

Yan Zhixu: "He really let me develop as I pleased."

Xiao Ling came out of the kitchen and smiled when she saw Yan Zhixu: "Zhixu is back?"

Yan Zhixu nodded: "Sister-in-law."

Xiao Ling: "Dinner will be ready soon, but where are Bei An and Weiwei...?"

Yan Bei'an walked in just then: "Coming, coming! Mom, we came as soon as you mentioned it!"

Xiao Ling's eyes lit up, and she went over to greet her: "Weiwei's here?"

Liang Liangwei greeted her with a smile, "Good evening, Auntie. Sorry to bother you."

Yan Zhixu paused slightly, then casually raised her eyes to look over.

After Liang Liangwei greeted Xiao Ling, she followed Yan Beian inside, also greeting people: "Hello, Grandpa; hello, Uncle."

She glanced at the man sitting on the single sofa, met his dark eyes, pursed her lips, and called out to Yan Bei'an as well.

Yan Zhixu's gaze darkened slightly as he looked at her without responding.

Yan Yunting nodded slightly and replied amiably, "Hello, please have a seat."

The old man was even happier and beckoned to her, "Weiwei, come sit here."

The old man was sitting in a two-seater, but he was sitting alone. He patted the empty seat next to him, gesturing for her to come over.

Liang Liangwei had to pass in front of Yan Zhixu to get through, but he was leisurely crossing his legs, blocking the aisle.

She glanced at him, and Yan Zhixu also received her gaze. He raised an eyebrow, and naturally, he couldn't hesitate too much under everyone's watchful eyes, so he gracefully pulled his legs back and sat up straight.

Liang Liangwei walked gracefully past him, and the two exchanged only a fleeting glance out of the corner of their eyes before she sat down next to the old man.

The old man smiled and said, "Weiwei hasn't come with Bei'an for the past week. What have you been busy with?"

Liang Liangwei: "My work schedule is irregular. Sometimes I'm busy all day on weekends. Last weekend I was out doing makeup and couldn't find the time."

The old man felt sorry for him: "So busy? You don't even get a proper rest on weekends?"

Liang Liangwei: "If you want to rest, you can. I specially switched shifts with my colleagues today."

The old man said, "What kind of rest is this? Shouldn't we find another time to make it back?"

Liang Liangwei nodded: "Yes, it will be adjusted next week, it's already been arranged."

Now the old man couldn't bring himself to ask her to come over every week. It was fine once or twice, but if it happened every weekend, she would want to rest and others would want to too, and no one would be happy if it happened too often.

A kitchen maid came out and said, "Madam, sir, dinner is ready."

Xiao Ling then said, "Let's eat first. Bei An, take Weiwei to wash her hands."

Yan Bei'an did as she was told, leading Liang Liangwei to the restroom while he waited for her outside.

He yawned, but when he saw Yan Zhixu walking towards him, he quickly shut his mouth and greeted him, "Uncle."

Yan Zhixu stood on the other side of the door, hands in his pockets, and looked at him indifferently: "Tired?"

Yan Beian: "I drove for several hours this afternoon, and I am indeed a bit tired."

Yan Zhixu: "Did you go out to play?"

Yan Bei'an: "I went to Tianjin."

Yan Zhixu pursed his lips and remained silent, his dark eyes fixed on him.

Yan Bei'an felt a chill run down his spine from the stare: "Uncle... what's wrong?"

Yan Zhixu said casually, "Dating and having fun, huh?"

Yan Bei'an chuckled dryly: "...It's alright."

The bathroom door opened, and Liang Liangwei appeared inside.

Seeing two men standing by the door, she paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Yan Zhixu.

Their eyes met, and they fell silent for a moment.

Yan Bei'an felt superfluous and uncomfortable: "I...I'll go to the kitchen to wash my hands."

He ran away in a flash.

Liang Liangwei's eyes widened in disbelief. This guy actually abandoned his girlfriend and ran away!

She swallowed hard, wanting to slip away too, but the man stopped her as soon as she took a step.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at him, asking, "Wh...what are you doing?"

Yan Zhixu lowered his eyes and stared at her, his gaze deep and dark: "Avoiding me?"

Liang Liangwei protested, "What? Didn't you ignore me?"

He even gave her the cold shoulder, you jerk!

Yan Zhixu narrowed his dark eyes, took a step forward, and easily blocked her in the bathroom: "Who tried to distance themselves on WeChat, huh?"

Liang Liangwei was so shocked that she took a step back: "I just wanted to pay you back."

"Who told you to pay me back?" Yan Zhixu sneered. "You promised to treat me to dinner to settle the debt? You changed your mind after just one night?"

Only one night had passed?

Change of heart?

Look at these outrageous words!

Her face instantly flushed red, like two delicate rosy clouds: "You...don't talk nonsense, I was just..."

Yan Zhixu: "When I didn't give you my WeChat, you complained that I was stingy. Now that I'm willing to give it to you, you deliberately distance yourself. Weiwei, what do you take me for? Someone you can summon and dismiss at will?"

"I didn't!" Liang Liangwei finally snapped, steeling her resolve, and said, "It's clearly you! You already have someone you like, so why are you pretending you don't? You...you're so awful!"

Yan Zhixu looked bewildered: "What?"

Still pretending!

Liang Liangwei reached out and pushed him: "Let me out!"

He wouldn't let her, and instead grabbed her hand, trying to forcefully push her inside: "Explain yourself clearly."

Liang Liangwei panicked: "You, you, you mustn't do anything rash!"

Xiao Ling's voice came through: "Weiwei?"

Liang Liangwei's expression changed, and she hurriedly said, "Auntie is calling me, I need to go out!"

Yan Zhixu could only let go and step aside to let her out.

Watching the woman flee in panic, he tilted his head in thought, and after a moment, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Is that what he thought?

She knew he had someone he "liked," so...

Is this why she's trying so hard to distance herself from the situation?

As Liang Liangwei walked into the restaurant, Xiao Ling smiled and waved to her, pointing to the seat next to Yan Beian: "Weiwei, sit here."

Liang Liangwei obediently went over and sat down.

After everyone sat down, Yan Yunting asked, "Where is Zhixu?"

Liang Liangwei: "My uncle is washing his hands; he should be here soon."

Her phone rang. She took it out and glanced at it. It was a WeChat message. She opened it and saw that it was from Yan Zhixu.

She glanced guiltily at the people on the table, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she looked down.

Yan Zhixu: [Make yourself clear, who told you about the person I like?]

She blinked, which sounded like a denial.

Doesn't he have someone he likes?

She looked at Yan Bei'an beside her with a puzzled expression.

Yan Bei'an: "...What's wrong?"

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Footsteps approached, and Yan Zhixu returned. She looked up and saw the man sitting directly opposite her, staring straight at her.

She panicked and quickly turned off her phone and put it away.
