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

Liang Liangwei watched the man's figure gradually disappear into the distance, biting her lower lip, feeling a little aggrieved.

So aloof, not easy to pursue~

She took another sip of latte, and immediately stuck out her tongue because of the astringent taste.

A latte without sugar is really hard to swallow.

Since he wasn't there anymore, she didn't have to force herself, so she threw the remaining two-thirds of the latte into the trash can and went to queue up to buy a sweetened coconut latte.

Yes, she can't live without sugar!

While waiting after scanning the code, she opened Yan Bei'an's chat window.

Yan Bei'an replied quickly after she sent the photos: 【Isn't this my uncle's company's new product launch? You were there too? My uncle even turned around to look at you. Did you two meet? Did you chat?】

Yan Bei'an: [Where are you guys?]

Liang Liangwei walked back carrying her latte, typing a reply with one hand: "I'm in Shacheng on a business trip and I happened to run into him here. Is this his company?"

She looked up and saw a large banner at the press conference that read "Bosch Brand New Product Launch Event," with a smaller line below that read "From the Beautiful Country."

She was a little confused: "Isn't your uncle an employee of your family's company?"

Yan Bei'an: [My uncle owns shares in Jinghang Group, but he doesn't work within the group. His relatives work for a company in the US, and he's been developing his business there.]

Liang Liangwei was even more confused. In her simple understanding, Yan Zhixu was Yan Bei'an's uncle, so his relatives... weren't they also Yan Bei'an's relatives?

Yan Bei'an: [Have you managed to talk to my uncle yet? Is he ignoring you?]

Liang Liangwei returned to the lounge and sat down: [We chatted for a bit, he didn't ignore me, but he was busy and left first.]

Yan Bei'an: [It's probably because of our relationship, and they're giving me face.]

Is that right?

Liang Liangwei blinked, resting her chin on her hand. Why did she feel that even that night at the Yan family's old house, Yan Zhixu wasn't very warm towards his nephew?

He's not even warm towards his nephew anymore, but he'll be friendly towards his nephew's girlfriend because of his nephew?

However, there's no better explanation than this, so let's just leave it at that.

At least he didn't actually ignore her as Yan Bei'an said, which is a good start.

Maybe after some time, after they meet a few more times, their relationship won't be so cold and distant, barely better than that of strangers.

She smiled, pursing her lips, and looked down at her phone. Yan Bei'an had sent another message: "Did you get my uncle's WeChat ID?"

Liang Liangwei: [No, why don't you give it to me now? He's given you so much face, he won't blame you.]

Yan Bei'an was very shrewd and tight-lipped: "Since you've said he's willing to talk to you, you can just ask him for it yourself. Just don't come to me."

Why would I need to come to you if I wanted to get it?

Liang Liangwei thought resentfully, then dropped her daily bombshell on the other end: 【When are you going to come out to your family?】

Yan Bei'an: [...]

Yan Bei'an: [(Playing dead emoji)]

Liang Liangwei snorted, put away her phone, and took a sip of her coconut latte.

The host's voice came from the other end of the press conference: "That concludes today's press conference. Thank you all for participating, and thank you Ms. Le Pei'er for attending. Ms. Le, please take a rest. Next is our lucky draw..."

At the same time as the host's voice rang out, Zhenzhen hurriedly walked over: "Sister Wei, it's over, you can go now."

Because the press conference was held in the square, with people coming and going, Le Pei'er needed bodyguards to protect her and clear the way. As she walked towards this side, her team members followed closely behind, and there were bodyguards in black clothes and sunglasses around her to keep the crowd at bay.

However, she simply passed by the lounge without stopping, and headed directly towards the side exit of the plaza.

Zhenzhen ran over to get her personal belongings. After reminding Liang Liangwei, she picked up her own and Le Peier's bags and then turned around to chase after Le Peier.

Liang Liangwei didn't delay and followed after them, carrying her small suitcase and coffee.

Once inside the van, the doors closed, isolating the fans outside, and the group breathed a sigh of relief.

The driver slowly drove the car away from the front gate of the square.

As soon as Le Pei'er got on the bus, she took off her high heels, reclined her seat, put her legs on another seat, and lay down lazily.

"Zhenzhen, massage my calves. I've been standing for over an hour, and they're almost numb."

Zhenzhen responded and quickly came over. There was nowhere suitable to sit, so she could only squat down and begin to massage her to relax her.

Lepeier closed her eyes contentedly.

Liang Liangwei glanced at it, then looked away and asked, "Sister Le, are we going straight to the restaurant for the luncheon?"

Le Pei'er didn't even open her eyes: "Hmm."

Liang Liangwei: "How much longer until we arrive?"

Le Pei-er did not answer, and her agent Lin Yi interjected, "About 20 minutes."

Liang Liangwei: "There's still time, Sister Le, shall I touch up your makeup?"

Le Pei-er: "Aren't you very fast? It only took you 18 minutes to go from nothing to something. What's the rush to touch up your makeup? There are still 20 minutes left. You can touch it up in the last 5 minutes. Let me rest a little longer."

Liang Liangwei frowned and looked at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi paused for a moment and said, "Originally, there was no rush, so you could relax. But have you forgotten who you're having lunch with? What if you run into President Yan in the parking lot when you get there, and he sees you with smudged makeup? That wouldn't be good, would it?"

Liang Liangwei blinked.

That Mr. Yan?

Which Mr. Yan?

She suddenly remembered that Yan Zhixu had also been called President Yan, and Le Peier had come to support his company's new product launch. It was only natural that she would have lunch with the client's senior management.

If so, then Yan Zhixu said he had an appointment at noon, is that the luncheon?

She looked down and pretended to scroll through her phone, listening to their conversation without making a sound.

Le Pei'er suddenly opened her eyes: "That's right!"

Forget about the massage, waved for Zhenzhen to leave, sat up straight, and smiled broadly, saying, "I almost forgot, President Yan will be here at noon too. Weiwei, come over here quickly and touch up my makeup."

Liang Liangwei responded, opened the small box to find tools, and then approached Le Peier to touch up her makeup.

Le Pei'er closed her eyes, slightly opened her mouth to chat with Lin Yi, her tone cheerful: "Seriously, that CEO Yan is really handsome, the most handsome CEO I've ever seen. He's perfect from every angle. I heard he's not married yet. What do you think my chances of succeeding if I take the initiative to pursue him?"

Lin Yi laughed and said, "It's easy for a woman to pursue a man, so you'll definitely have no problem taking the initiative. But it seems that he lives in the United States and this trip back to China is only temporary. If you two get together, won't you be in a long-distance relationship with little time together?"

Le Pei-er: "I'd be willing too! Dating such a handsome and rich man would only have more benefits than drawbacks, so I can tolerate some minor inconveniences. Besides, I can fly to see him whenever I have time; dating abroad is even more romantic!"

Lin Yi: "You haven't even made a move yet and you're already planning how to start dating?"

Le Pei-er: "I like to think long-term..."

Liang Liangwei said in a flat tone, "Sister Le, you can talk, but could you please stop laughing? I'm afraid I'll make your eyebrows look like caterpillars."

Le Pei'er: "..."

Lin Yi was both amused and exasperated: "Let's talk again after I've touched up my makeup."

Le Pei'er had no choice but to shut up, terrified that her eyebrows would really turn into caterpillars.

Liang Liangwei's hands moved without stopping, her lowered eyebrows and eyes flickering slightly.

Lin Yi looked at her and said, "Weiwei, I'm going to a luncheon with Pei'er later. You'll be with Zhenzhen and the others. She'll order food for you."

Liang Liangwei: "Okay."
