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

Knowing that Yan Bei'an wouldn't reply so quickly, she sent another message saying that she was in a hurry to get back to the city and would be leaving first in Yan Zhixu's car, and that she had already told his elders.

After sending the message, I exited WeChat, put down my phone, and looked ahead at the road conditions.

Yan Zhixu quickly drove the car away from the villa area's private road and onto the highway leading into the city.

As he took his card at the tollbooth, he casually asked, "Shall I take you home or to the company?"

Liang Liangwei tucked a strand of hair behind her ear: "My home."

In the few seconds it took to wait for the gate to open, he turned and glanced at her, his gaze deep.

Liang Liangwei glanced back at her, feigning confusion: "Why are you looking at me? Stop looking, the floodgates are open, if we don't open them soon, what will happen later—"

"Beep beep—" The car behind honked its horn at the opportune moment.

Yan Zhixu withdrew his gaze, released the foot brake, and the car drove forward.

"Where to stay?"

Liang Liangwei picked up her phone: "I'll send you my location..."

The man handed her the phone.

"Just use my search."

Liang Liangwei paused for only a moment before gladly accepting it.

With a slight smile, she looked down and turned on his screen. Seeing the face scan prompt, she confidently held the phone up to him: "Look over here, smile!"

Yan Zhixu glanced over cooperatively, but didn't smile. The next moment, the phone unlocked successfully with facial recognition.

She continued to look down at her phone.

He doesn't have many apps on his phone, unlike her who has a ton of social media apps, like Weibo, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and photo editing apps—it's enough to make anyone dizzy.

Aside from WeChat, which is a social media app, his homepage is filled with rather dull commercial content, such as stock trading, business news, and so on.

She opened WeChat and immediately saw that the pinned chat contact was herself, which made her smile even wider.

Clicking in again, you can see the two people's chat content, but the colors are different from what's displayed on her phone. Her messages are white, while his are green.

How to do?

Is she under his spell? She actually finds this kind of thing kind of sweet~

Or is it because you like it that you feel sweetness everywhere?

Oh, her love-struck mind is so obvious!

She turned on the location function, found her address, set the navigation, and waited for the phone to ring with a voice prompt. She then handed it back to him, saying, "Done."

Yan Zhixu placed her phone on the vent slot and put on the Bluetooth headset.

After a moment, he frowned slightly: "Help me change the default female voice to a male voice."

Liang Liangwei was surprised: "Isn't a female voice good?"

Don't most men like listening to things announced by female voices?

Yan Zhixu: "You hear a woman's voice in your ears, and you also speak in a woman's voice. If you hear it repeatedly, you'll get confused."

Liang Liangwei tilted her head: "Would that be?"

Yan Zhixu nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Okay, if he says he will, then he will.

Liang Liangwei leaned closer to the middle and started fiddling with his phone.

He wasn't idle either, casually saying, "If that's the case, and you speak in a male voice, then I can't hear a male voice broadcasting at the same time?"

She swiped her right hand across the screen, carefully selecting which male voice sounded good, while her left hand naturally rested on the center armrest.

"How's this voice? Wang Kai, it has a bit of a broadcaster's tone, it's super magnetic, I love it!" she asked excitedly.

Yan Zhixu paused for a moment: "No, choose another one."

Liang Liangwei gasped, giving him a look that said, "You actually think he's ungrateful? You're so ungrateful!" She then picked another one: "How about this one? A gentle young man. His love songs during the singer season were so heartfelt, they really made you feel like you were there. I really want to be hugged and cared for by him..."

Yan Zhixu said expressionlessly, "Change it to another one."

Liang Liangwei's lips twitched: "You don't like this? Your taste is really bad. Then I'll just pick a random older man for you, Mr. Shen~"

She turned to look at him in that position, grinning, and said, "If you're still not satisfied, I'll change your voice back to a woman's, and give you a cute little girl voice to melt your heart~"

The man listened to the middle-aged man's amused tone reminding him to pay attention to the road conditions. A slight smile appeared on his lips. He kept his left hand on the steering wheel and his right hand casually rested on the center console: "This is fine."

Liang Liangwei's expression stiffened slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief, as she slowly lowered her head to look at the central platform.

Originally, only her hand was resting there, but now, the man's hand also came over, as if intentionally or unintentionally, placing it next to hers.

Two fingers even crossed the boundary and gently rested on the back of her hand.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she bit her lower lip as she looked up at him.

The man seemed oblivious, his eyes remaining calm as he stared straight ahead.

If she were to pull her hand back now, it would seem as if she were feeling guilty.

Her face felt a little hot; she knew she was blushing. Instead of looking away, she slowly turned her head to the other side and looked out the car window.

Making conversation: "I see the CCTV Headquarters! So you can see it from here too—"

Suddenly, she felt the man's hand, which had initially only had two fingers on her, slowly move towards her until his entire large hand covered her.

She immediately fell silent.

My heart was pounding.

I didn't have the courage to look back.

She felt the man's warm hand gently caressing the back of her hand, the thin calluses on it slightly rough, bringing waves of tingling electric current.

She couldn't help but lift her fingertips slightly and interact with his fingertips.

In that instant, it was as if sparks were ignited, water dripping and wearing away stone, and fish leaping out of the water.

As if struck by inspiration, she slightly loosened her five fingers, and the man's slender fingers followed suit, slowly sinking down until their ten fingers were tightly intertwined.

There weren't many vehicles on the highway, and the road was flat. He held the steering wheel steadily with his left hand.

He tilted his head slightly to look at the woman in the passenger seat.

She remained leaning back in her seat, her head tilted towards the window, leaving only a 45-degree angle of the back of her head for him to see, barely revealing a small section of her delicate nose and bright red lips.

Her slender hands, painted with translucent pink nail polish, covered the corners of her lips, but couldn't hide the curve of her lips, where a sweet smile bloomed.

He curled the corners of his lips, looked away, and continued driving attentively.

After an hour-long drive on the highway, we entered the city traffic and the traffic became much more congested.

But no matter the condition of the car, as soon as he sees an empty space, the man's hand will automatically return to the center armrest.

No longer confined to the simple act of interlocking fingers, his large, well-defined hands sometimes held her palm still, and sometimes gently caressed the back and palm of her hand.

Just do whatever makes you comfortable and natural.

He didn't explain, and she didn't avoid the situation. They continued in this ambiguous manner until the car arrived at her apartment complex.

Yan Zhixu parked the car in the parking space and glanced at the apartment buildings in the neighboring community. Located within the Third Ring Road, the location and environment were quite good, and the prices were naturally not low.

"Stay here?"

Liang Liangwei: "Mm."

Yan Zhixu looked at her: "Bought it?"

Liang Liangwei: "Mm."

Judging by appearances, a 100-square-meter house would cost nearly 20 million yuan. For someone her age to be able to buy one, her family must be quite well-off.

Liang Liangwei unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.

Yan Zhixu also got out of the car and went to the trunk to take out her luggage bag.

"Shall I help you carry it up?"

Liang Liangwei took the bag and said with a smile, "Next time."

Yan Zhixu didn't force her; it wasn't really appropriate for her to go upstairs the first time he was taking her home.

There's plenty of time in the future~

He looked down at her, his expression softening, and said, "Shall we have dinner together tonight?"

Liang Liangwei opened her eyes wide and said, "Didn't I say I wouldn't invite you to dinner?"

Yan Zhixu chuckled: "You don't need to make the appointment anymore, I'll make the appointments for you from now on."

Liang Liangwei's eyes flickered slightly. From now on?

It sounds like there will be many more times~

I'm kind of looking forward to it~

but……

She said with regret, "My job today is to do street photography for an online influencer. There will be both daytime and nighttime parts, and it may go on until very late."

Yan Zhixu raised an eyebrow: "How late?"

Liang Liangwei: "It will probably be around 8 o'clock."

Yan Zhixu: "Then how will you eat?"

Liang Liangwei: "It's just street photography. There are many snack shops on the street, so I just grab something to fill my stomach."

Yan Zhixu frowned: "Can't you eat something better?"

Liang Liangwei: "Time is very precious. Spending time eating well will delay the filming process, which is not worth it."

Is your health less important than your job?

Yan Zhixu looked at her with strong disapproval, pondered for a moment, and said, "At least eat cleanly. I'll pick you up when you're done and take you out for a late-night snack."

Liang Liangwei's bright eyes curved into a smile, and the corners of her lips turned up: "Okay."

Yan Zhixu smiled slightly, met her gaze for a moment, raised his chin, and said softly, "I'll watch you go in."

Liang Liangwei: "See you tonight."

"See you tonight."

She turned and walked towards the gate of the residential complex.

A few minutes later, she returned to her apartment, changed her shoes, and quickly walked to the window, pulled back the curtains, and looked down.

The all-black Bentayga was still parked in that spot, and a man was leaning against the car, seemingly smoking.

Suddenly, he looked up and looked this way. Although he knew the other person couldn't see his exact location, his heart still skipped a beat.

Not long after, the man threw away his cigarette, turned around, walked around the front of the car, got in, and quickly drove away.

She watched the SUV disappear into the traffic and drive further and further away, silently saying goodbye in her heart.
