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

The servants kept bringing in dishes, and soon the table was full.

Xiao Ling smiled and said to Liang Liangwei, "Weiwei, knowing you were coming today, I specially asked the kitchen to make these dishes for you. See if they suit your taste."

Liang Liangwei picked up a piece of eight-treasure duck meat, smiled and nodded, "It tastes great, thank you for your thoughtfulness, Auntie~"

Xiao Ling turned to Yan Beian and winked at him: "Beian, take care of Weiwei, peel shrimp for her, and serve her food."

Yan Beian responded with an "oh," but subconsciously looked at Yan Zhixu diagonally opposite him.

Yan Zhixu also looked over at him, stuffing a piece of pork rib into his mouth and chewing slowly, his eyes cold and piercing, like a cheetah eyeing its prey.

Yan Bei'an immediately felt the pressure, a chill running down his neck: "..."

Does this mean my uncle has someone else he likes?

Why does it not look like it?

He then looked at Liang Liangwei, who was quick-witted. She picked up a piece of shrimp herself and said to Xiao Ling with a smile, "I don't need him to peel it for me. I don't even use my hands to eat shrimp; I just bite it with my mouth, and I'm really fast at it. I'll show Auntie!"

She bit off the shrimp's head, tail, and legs, stuffed the middle part into her mouth, tilted her head, and moved her cheeks left and right, occasionally squeezing her eyebrows. Her expression was both quirky and cute, making Xiao Ling laugh.

Xiao Ling: "Let Bei'an help you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Liang Liangwei opened her mouth and spat out an almost intact shrimp shell, chewing on the sweet shrimp meat with a smile. The whole process took only about ten seconds.

This was the first time Yan Bei'an had ever seen her peel shrimp like this, and he looked at her with newfound respect: "Holy crap, that's amazing!"

Xiao Ling immediately shot her a dagger: "What are you saying! Don't you care about your image at all in front of Weiwei?!"

Yan Bei'an coughed lightly, intending to say that he spoke to this girl the same way when they were outside, but she just hadn't seen it before.

Make a fuss.

Liang Liangwei smiled with her lips pursed, her gaze inadvertently drifting to the man opposite her. He held a glass of red wine but hadn't drunk from it, his dark eyes gleaming as he looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

After watching for a while, he slowly sipped his wine under her gaze.

She instantly recalled her skillful shrimp-peeling technique and blushed.

Oh no, I forgot he was there and he loves to act. How embarrassing!

The old man and Yan Yunting both laughed.

The old man was very pleased: "It should be this lively and bustling."

He then turned his gaze to Yan Zhixu, his smile fading slightly, and asked, "Waiter, how's that girl you were pursuing? Has she accepted you yet?"

Liang Liangwei was startled when she heard this.

Waiter?

So his nickname at Grandpa Yan's place was Xiao Er?

She wanted to laugh, but the next moment she couldn't laugh anymore. Her heart was pounding, and she looked at Yan Zhixu along with the others at the table.

Yan Zhixu put down his wine glass, his brow furrowed slightly, and said, "Dad, we've just started eating, why are you bringing this up again?"

The old man's smile vanished completely: "What do you mean? The girl didn't agree to be with you?"

Yan Zhixu said calmly, "Yeah, she didn't like me. She ignored my WeChat messages."

That's surprising. That girl has such high standards, she can't even be interested in someone as outstanding as him?

Everyone was surprised, including Liang Liangwei.

The old man was a little anxious, but because of his status as an elder and Liang Liangwei's presence, he couldn't ask his children too many details, so he gave Xiao Ling a wink.

Xiao Ling understood and asked, "Is there some misunderstanding in the communication? What did you send to that girl?"

Could it be that this was his first time pursuing someone, and he didn't know how to handle things properly, thus offending the girl?

Yan Zhixu: "I gave her some gifts, and she liked them, but she wanted to give me the money back. I refused and suggested that she have dinner with me to make up for it. Then she... stopped talking to me."

Liang Liangwei was stunned when she heard this.

This plot... seems a bit familiar.

Yan Beian thought so too; how come it sounded so similar to something he'd recently heard someone say?

Who is coming?

Xiao Ling: "Wow, this girl doesn't ask for things from people indiscriminately, which means she's very sensible. She understands the principle of 'a gentleman loves money but earns it honestly.' She's a good girl~"

Liang Liangwei blinked and stared at the man opposite her.

Yan Zhixu also happened to look up and meet Liang Liangwei's gaze. His dark eyes were deep and filled with a smile, full of doting affection.

Liang Liangwei hurriedly looked away and casually picked up a dish to eat slowly.

A man's cool voice reached her ears: "Yes, it's quite good."

Her ears turned even redder.

The old man snorted and said, "That must be because your tone was wrong, your words were wrong, and the girl ignored you. You deserve it!"

He glared at Yan Beian and said, "Just like Beian did, what kind of things are you saying in front of your girlfriend? Have you forgotten all the rules I taught you?"

Yan Bei'an opened his eyes wide. Why was he bringing him up again?

Yan Zhixu said calmly, "Impossible. I would never swear at someone I like."

Yan Bei'an: "..."

Uncle, please don't kick me when I'm down, okay? TAT

The old man ignored his grandson and said to Yan Zhixu, "You, you, you must hurry up and appease that girl, and bring her back to me by next weekend!"

Yan Zhixu: "I will try my best, but I can't guarantee it."

The old man: "You—"

Xiao Ling quickly said, "Dad, don't worry. Zhi Xu means that he knows and will try to coax that girl."

Liang Liangwei lowered her head and slowly ate her rice, but the corners of her lips curved into a smile.

After finishing his meal, the old man went back to his room to rest.

The others were also getting ready to go back to their rooms, and Xiao Ling asked Yan Beian to take Liang Liangwei's luggage into the room.

The room prepared for Liang Liangwei was the same one she stayed in last time. After Yan Beian delivered the luggage, he went downstairs and happened to run into Xiao Ling, who was still in the kitchen giving instructions about late-night snacks.

When Xiao Ling saw him, she asked, "Where are you going?"

Yan Bei'an walked out: "I left my coat in the car, go get it."

Xiao Ling: "Forgetful."

Yan Zhixu went to the small garden to smoke, and when he came back in, he saw Yan Beian leaving.

"Uncle."

"Ah."

Yan Zhixu walked inside and saw Liang Liangwei, who had also come downstairs. She was asking Xiao Ling for honey water.

Xiao Ling instructed the kitchen staff to prepare the honey water, and then smiled at Liang Liangwei, saying, "Drinking honey water is good for a girl's skin and health; she should definitely drink more of it."

Liang Liangwei handed a box to Xiao Ling: "Auntie, this is a gift for you. It's a very moisturizing face mask. I often use it to give big stars emergency hydration, and the effect is immediate."

Xiao Ling was pleasantly surprised and accepted it with both hands: "Really? Oh, Weiwei is so thoughtful~ I'll go try it now."

Liang Liangwei smiled and watched her go back to her room.

She turned around and saw the man a few steps away, his dark eyes looking at her. Her heart skipped a beat and her face flushed for no reason.

The man, dressed in bespoke casual wear, casually put his hands in his pockets, standing tall and elegant, with a handsome and dignified air like a deity.

He slowly approached her, leaned against the already cleared dining table, and looked down at her.

There was an inexplicable air of ambiguity surrounding the two of them.

The man spoke first: "Did you have fun in Tianjin today?"

Liang Liangwei looked bewildered and subconsciously replied, "Jincheng? I didn't go to Jincheng."

Yan Zhixu raised an eyebrow, her eyes flashing: "Bei'an said she went to Tianjin for a date this afternoon... not with you?"

Liang Liangwei opened her mouth, then suddenly realized: "Oh... it's with me, it's right, it's with me."

Yan Zhixu squinted at her, as if scrutinizing the truthfulness of her words.

He then scoffed, "A goldfish has a seven-second memory? You've forgotten what happened this afternoon by tonight?"

Liang Liangwei was slightly embarrassed: "I'm just... very surprised that Yan Bei'an told you."

Yan Zhixu: "Why do you address Bei'an by his given name?"

Liang Liangwei: "Huh?"

Yan Zhixu: "Shouldn't you call your boyfriend's name a little more affectionately?"

Liang Liangwei chuckled dryly, "...Right, right, thanks for reminding me, then I'll call him that from now on..."

Yan Zhixu: "If you really don't want to call, you don't have to force yourself. I was just asking."

Liang Liangwei: "..."

Seeing that she was at a loss for words, Yan Zhixu chuckled lightly. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Yan Bei'an muttering to himself at the door: "I thought the coat was in the car, but it turns out I gave it to him this afternoon... Uncle, Weiwei, you two are chatting, huh...hehe..."

Yan Zhixu withdrew her gaze, said nothing, and walked towards her residence.

Yan Bei'an gave Liang Liangwei a look: What's wrong?

Liang Liangwei accepted the honey water from the maid, thanked her, and then shrugged at Yan Beian, indicating that she didn't know.

"I'm going back to my room~"
