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

A little while later, Liang Liangwei picked up her things and left first. The two of them kissed affectionately in the entryway for a while.

Not long after she left, Aunt Zhang arrived.

"Good morning, young master."

Yan Zhixu came down the stairs, buttoning his suit jacket as he went, with his overcoat draped over his elbow.

"morning."

Aunt Zhang walked to the dining table and saw the tableware and food scraps for two people laid out on it, and she knew what was going on.

He started tidying up, and asked with a smile, "Did you cook seafood porridge today, young lady?"

Yan Zhixu stopped at the top of the stairs and looked at the dining table, her eyes softening: "Mm."

Mrs. Zhang: "What a virtuous girl!"

Yan Zhixu chuckled lightly, recalling the woman's familiar figure bustling in the kitchen that morning, and agreed with this point.

Aunt Zhang glanced upstairs and asked softly, "Is the person still upstairs?"

Yan Zhixu: "They've already left."

Aunt Zhang joked, "Young Master Zhi told me just a few days ago that the girl wouldn't be coming back, and I actually believed him!"

Yan Zhixu put one hand in his pocket and chuckled, "There was a misunderstanding that day, but now that it's cleared up, she's naturally come back."

Seeing his gentle demeanor, a rare sight for him, Aunt Zhang assumed he was truly in the throes of a sweet romance. She was happy for him and couldn't help but say, "Young master, you'll have to take good care of that girl from now on, and make sure you don't upset her again."

Yan Zhixu: "Yes, I will."

Seeing Aunt Zhang carrying tableware into the kitchen, he followed her a couple of steps and said, "There's still seafood porridge in the pot. She's a very good cook. Aunt Zhang, you should try some too."

Aunt Zhang nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Yan Zhixu glanced at the time; it was almost time to leave. He put on his coat and headed outside.

~

Upon arriving at the company, he strode quickly towards his office after exiting the elevator, followed by Xu Chaofeng, who had brought her work tablet with her as soon as she saw him.

Good morning, Mr. Yan.

"morning."

After entering the office, Yan Zhixu took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack.

Xu Chaofeng adjusted her glasses and, as was her habit, observed his expression. Seeing that his brows and eyes were relaxed and his thin lips were slightly upturned, she knew he must be in a good mood.

"Is Mr. Yan in a good mood today?"

Yan Zhixu glanced at him: "That's right."

He unbuttoned his suit jacket and hung it up, then turned and sat down in his office chair, saying, "I won't be participating in this morning's routine meeting. Mr. Xue, please make yourself at home."

Mr. Xue is the regional president of Bosch Group in the northern region of China. Before he returned to China, Mr. Xue was in charge of this region. After he returned, he would sit in on the branch's routine morning meeting every Monday.

Xu Chaofeng quickly wrote "Yes" on the tablet memo using the stylus.

Yan Zhixu tapped his long fingers on the large table, thought for a moment, and said, "I remember there was a three-way meeting this morning?"

Xu Chaofeng looked at the schedule: "Yes, from 9 to 10 o'clock."

Yan Zhixu: "Have Vice President Yu prepare the materials for him in advance."

Xu Chaofeng: "Yes."

Yan Zhixu: "The planning meeting at 10:15 is to be moved to the afternoon. If we can't make time for that, we'll reschedule for another day."

Xu Chaofeng: "Yes."

Yan Zhixu: "Notify them to bring the documents that require my review and signature as soon as possible. I only have half an hour; I must leave when the time is up."

Xu Chaofeng finally showed a hint of surprise, quickened her note-taking, and glanced at her superior in between: "...Yes."

After taking notes, he asked again, "Mr. Yan, would you like some coffee?"

“No need,” Yan Zhixu said with a smile. “I slept quite well last night.”

Xu Chaofeng: "..."

Who asked you if you were asleep?

He coughed lightly and said, "Then I'll go out and give them instructions."

"Okay." Yan Zhixu turned on her computer and started working.

So for the next half hour, company employees kept coming in with documents for review and signature, and Yan Zhixu became very busy, hardly having a moment to spare.

Xu Chaofeng was also assisting from the side.

It took more than 20 minutes for the situation to finally ease up, and the employees left one after another with the processed documents.

Xu Chaofeng breathed a sigh of relief and began to organize the documents in front of her.

Yan Zhixu took a sip of water, put down the cup, and leaned back.

He glanced at his assistant beside him, his dark eyes flashing, and slowly spoke, "Chao Feng—"

Thinking there might be some work instructions, Xu Chaofeng immediately perked up: "President Yan, is there anything else you need?"

Yan Zhixu: "Do you have any good recommendations for activities when going on a date with your girlfriend?"

A rare look of blankness appeared on Xu Chaofeng's handsome face: "...Huh?"

Yan Zhixu glanced at him indifferently: "Do I need to repeat myself?"

Xu Chaofeng subconsciously shook her head: "No...no need, I heard President Yan."

He frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "President Yan, I... I don't have a girlfriend yet, so I don't have much experience in this area. But... dating a girlfriend is nothing more than having dinner, watching a movie, shopping, and giving each other gifts."

Yan Zhixu gave a light rebuke: "Nothing to report."

Xu Chaofeng: "..."

Yan Zhixu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Let's watch a movie then. Can you book two movie tickets suitable for couples?"

Suppressing her urge to freeze, Xu Chaofeng asked to confirm, "What time do you want to book?"

Yan Zhixu tapped her finger again: "From 9 to 10 o'clock, I guess."

Xu Chaofeng glanced at the time, her lips twitching. It was almost 9 o'clock. Didn't this guy make any plans before going on a date?

"There are many cinemas in Huacheng. Mr. Yan, you'd better go to the one closest to your girlfriend, otherwise you might not have enough time. Where does your girlfriend live?"

Yan Zhixu gave an address.

Xu Chaofeng took a deep breath. So he really does have a girlfriend!

He quickly checked the movie information for the nearest address and said a moment later, "XX Cinema is showing a romance movie called 'Spring Sprout,' which has good reviews. How about this one? There's a screening starting at 10:15."

Spring buds? Spring dreams?

Yan Zhixu thought of those dreams, and the corners of her lips curled up even more: "Okay."

Xu Chaofeng then suggested, "You could also order a bouquet of flowers for your girlfriend. Bring her a bouquet when you pick her up; ladies always appreciate that."

Yan Zhixu immediately nodded: "Okay, arrange it."

Xu Chaofeng quickly ordered flowers from a nearby florist and had them delivered to the company within 10 minutes.

"I'll book a table at another restaurant for you. After the movie, you can have a romantic dinner for two..."

Yan Zhixu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's book a Cantonese restaurant. She likes Cantonese food."

This was something Yan Bei'an had told him during their last meal together.

You even know that girls like Cantonese food, Ms. Yan is amazing!

Xu Chaofeng found a Cantonese restaurant near the cinema and made a reservation.

Having arranged everything, he finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "Mr. Yan, who is your girlfriend—"

Yan Zhixu glanced at him indifferently: "It's not convenient to reveal it right now, but I'll let you know when the time is right."

Ha, still trying to be mysterious~

Xu Chaofeng smiled and said, "Then I wish President Yan a successful date."

Yan Zhixu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words."

Xu Chaofeng adjusted her glasses: "Then I'll go out and get busy first. Call me if you need anything."

Yan Zhixu nodded slightly, and he respectfully left.

He closed the door to the CEO's office and walked towards his own office.

After taking a few steps, I suddenly remembered something and froze.

Last night, when he went to Qingyue Tower with President Yan for a business dinner, President Yan even asked him to deliver dinner to Miss Liang, which was clearly a flirtatious move.

At that time, Mr. Yan didn't have a girlfriend yet.

Later, he was ordered to take Miss Liang's assistant home and leave first. President Yan had been drinking, so he must have left in Miss Liang's car...

Holy crap, what happened next?

Is it related to Yan Zong having a girlfriend?

Is it...

Upon considering a certain possibility, Xu Chaofeng froze again.

President Yan is just too... dog-like!
