Chapter 387 Tender Teasing
After saying goodbye to the Yan family, Liang Liangwei got into Yan Zhixu's car and left the villa.
Today is her day off, and Yan Zhixu doesn't have to go to the company either, making it a rare day for both of them to relax.
But she remembered that he had just told Xiao Ling that he needed to go back for a video conference.
Are you busy today too?
Yan Zhixu operated the steering wheel with one hand and said, "I have to have a meeting when I get back, but everything will be fine after that."
It must be tough. He has to prioritize work over his own time on his weekend.
As the president of a multinational corporation, one may appear glamorous and powerful to outsiders, but in reality, one has to put in several times the effort of an ordinary person to maintain their position.
His hard work absolutely deserves what he has.
Yan Zhixu didn't hear her voice again, so he turned his head and glanced at her.
"What are you thinking about?"
Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about how much smoother it was than I expected to come here with you."
Yan Zhixu recalled what had happened last night and felt a pang of guilt. She asked, "Do you really think it went smoothly? Were you frightened last night?"
Liang Liangwei: "I'm not a coward, how could I be scared? Besides, I was already mentally prepared before I came. I think it's normal for my uncle and sister-in-law to react that way, after all, what Yan Beian and I did before was indeed inappropriate."
Yan Zhixu scoffed, "You know it's inappropriate too?"
Liang Liangwei tilted her head to look at him, carefully examining her fingers, her cheeks slightly puffed out, and said innocently, "Mainly, back then I didn't expect to fall for you~"
After saying that, she carefully observed the man's facial reaction and, sure enough, saw the corners of his lips slightly lift.
Although it was a very subtle action, so subtle that it might go unnoticed without close inspection, she knew that her words had definitely pleased him.
A smile spread across her lips.
Her hand unconsciously rested on the bag in front of her. Suddenly realizing something, her eyes flashed, and she looked down to open the bag, taking out the brocade box that Xiao Ling had given her and handing it to him.
"By the way, this bracelet must be very important to you, right? I think you should keep it for yourself."
Yan Zhixu continued driving slowly until he stopped at a traffic light, then turned to look at her with an unfathomable gaze.
Liang Liangwei gestured with her eyes for him to take the brocade box from his hand.
Yan Zhixu then lowered his eyes to look at the brocade box, and two seconds later made his next move.
He first took the brocade box from her hand, but instead of putting it away, he used his other hand to hold her wrist so that she wouldn't pull it back.
He opened the brocade box, took out a bright green and translucent jade bracelet, and slipped it onto her wrist without saying a word.
A cool touch landed on her wrist, and Liang Liangwei's eyes widened: "What... are you doing? I already told you to do it yourself..."
Yan Zhixu gently stroked her delicate white wrist, his tone languid: "A bracelet only has value when it's worn on the wrist. If it's just left there, it's either unclaimed or neglected. What's the use of taking good care of it?"
As he finished speaking, his gaze fell on her face, his eyes tender. He gently took her hand and brought it to his lips, giving her a light kiss on the wrist.
"Or is it that Vivi doesn't like this bracelet?"
When the man teased her so tenderly, Liang Liangwei couldn't help but blush. She tried to pull her hand back, but he held it firmly in his grasp.
"Of course not. This bracelet is in excellent condition, and I really like it. I just feel... since it's your mother's keepsake, shouldn't you reconsider?"
Yan Zhixu raised an eyebrow: "Consider carefully? How do you know I didn't consider it carefully before having my dad take it out for you? My mother's belongings are certainly important, but she didn't leave them to me to leave empty forever. If she were still alive, she would have personally given you the bracelet if I took you home to see her today."
He gently stroked her hand, as if he were pouring out all the words he wanted to say to her through the movement of his fingertips.
"You are the first girl I bring home, and you will be the last. Is that careful enough?"
His words touched the softest spot in Liang Liangwei's heart, filling her with a mix of emotions, both chaotic and sweet.
Sensing that they were getting closer and closer, and it seemed they were about to kiss, she quickly closed her eyes, waiting for the moment his lips touched hers...
Suddenly, horns sounded from behind, and there was more than one.
Both of them were startled.
Liang Liangwei hurriedly opened her eyes, withdrew her hand, and looked ahead at the car.
The light has turned green!
He remained parked and didn't move, no wonder the cars behind him were getting impatient.
She glanced at the rearview mirror again and saw that the driver of the car behind them was already getting out and about to cross the road. She quickly reminded the man, "Hurry up! The driver behind us is coming!"
Yan Zhixu saw it too, and couldn't help but chuckle. He quickly released the foot brake and drove the car forward.
The driver behind him angrily cursed, "You're lucky you drove fast!"
Liang Liangwei heard this and burst out laughing.
The car drove steadily toward Qinglan Bay.
Liang Liangwei admired her new bracelet with delight, a smile that wouldn't fade from her lips.
Since the man was willing to give it to her, she might as well accept it. She'd be with him all the time anyway, so she might as well keep it for him.
Yan Zhixu was really busy. She received two phone calls on the way, and then another one when she was almost at Qinglan Bay. This time, they talked until they got inside the house.
Liang Liangwei didn't disturb him. She changed her shoes and took the coat the man had taken off, hanging it on the hanger.
Then he hung up his own as well.
Yan Zhixu patted her head, gestured for her to go back to her study first, and then went upstairs.
Liang Liangwei went into the kitchen to wash her hands, took out some fruit from the refrigerator, washed and cut some, and put them in a fruit bowl.
Then I took out coffee beans, brewed two lattes, and brought the fruit platter and one of the lattes upstairs.
She knocked on the door, and since there were only two people at home, she didn't need to be discreet and opened the door directly.
"I'll bring you coffee..."
She noticed the Bluetooth headset Yan Bei'an had given her on the man's ears, and knew he had already started a video conference. She stopped talking, stuck out her tongue, and carried the tray to her desk.
Yan Zhixu took the coffee away: "Thank you~"
Liang Liangwei glanced at the screen, which indeed showed a meeting. She gestured to him to be quiet and pay attention to the meeting, then turned and walked out of the study, closing the door behind her.
I went back to my room to change into some loungewear and came out to check the time; it was 10:30.
Aunt Zhang probably hasn't come from the old house yet. Why doesn't she go and make some soup first?
Back in the kitchen, I opened the refrigerator and rummaged around. I found corn and carrots, and pork ribs in the freezer. I could make this soup.
She took out the ribs to thaw and set them aside, and then took out two slices of steak.
The phone rang. She glanced at it and saw it was Aunt Zhang calling. She answered it.
"Aunt Zhang, are you back?"
Aunt Zhang: "Miss Liang, I'll be there in a bit, bringing back some fresh ingredients. Have you and Young Master Zhi arrived home yet? I'll cook for you in a little while."
Liang Liangwei: "There are still some ingredients in the refrigerator. I took them out to defrost. I'll make a soup first, and you can take care of the rest when you come over."
Aunt Zhang: Okay.
Liang Liangwei didn't notice the hint of guilt in Zhang Sao's tone, because her attention was focused on making the soup.
