Chapter 286 Your safety is the most important thing

Su Xiaorong saw him first and was instantly incredibly embarrassed. Her smile froze on her face, and she felt like her jaw was about to dislocate.

She quickly tugged at Gao Nan, who was wiping away tears, and gave her a meaningful look.

After Gao Nan realized what had happened, she wasn't much better off; her face turned stiff and red, and she could only clear her throat to cover it up.

Liang Liangwei replied casually, "Have you paid the bill?"

Yan Zhixu sat down next to her and said, "Mm."

Su Xiaorong hurriedly said, "Mr. Yan, you've gone to so much trouble. I had already said it was my treat..."

Yan Zhixu smiled slightly and said, "Since this is our first meeting, it is only right that Weiwei and I treat you to a meal."

His words were quite profound; by referring to himself as "Weiwei and I," he was treating the two of them as a single entity.

It subtly conveys a sense of intimacy to the outside world.

Both women, being experienced in matters of the heart, understood the deeper meaning and cast ambiguous glances at Liang Liangwei.

Su Xiaorong said generously, "Then another time when we have a chance to eat together, we'll treat you."

Liang Liangwei looked at Yan Zhixu and saw him nod slightly, which was considered as agreement. She smiled and replied, "It's settled. We'll invite your boyfriends along too, so they can all get to know each other."

After the event, the four people left the restaurant and, since they each had their own cars, went their separate ways home.

Liang Liangwei walked towards her car and was about to get into the driver's seat when the man grabbed her wrist.

"I'll drive."

Liang Liangwei turned to look at him.

Yan Zhixu looked down at her and said, "Didn't you say you were very tired today? Sit down and rest for a bit."

Liang Liangwei: "It's okay, I felt better after eating a meal."

The man gently ruffled her hair, his expression softening: "Listen to me, go and rest, I'll drive."

A warm feeling washed over Liang Liangwei, and she nodded gently: "Okay."

He walked to the passenger seat, bent down, and sat down in the car.

He got into the car, fastened his seatbelt, and slowly drove onto the road.

"A day off tomorrow?" he asked, looking straight ahead.

Liang Liangwei ran her fingers through her long hair that was loose at the back of her head, and looked at him when she heard this: "Yes, how did you know?"

Yan Zhixu: "I looked at the calendar on your desk today, and it says you're taking a break tomorrow."

I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful, even noticing her calendar.

"Yeah, I was planning to tell you tonight."

Yan Zhixu: "Are you coming to my place tonight?"

Liang Liangwei glared at him reproachfully: "You brought your suitcase down and put it in my car this morning, why are you asking me why?"

The man chuckled: "I should at least ask before bringing you home, as a sign of respect."

Liang Liangwei laughed: "You've already made your decision, where's the respect? If you really want respect, my own home is still the most comfortable place. You might as well come back to my house with me."

The man didn't object: "If you want, I can, anyway—"

He glanced over, his eyes deep and unfathomable: "It's convenient to sleep anywhere."

Although the topic was "sleep," she somehow managed to glean some color-related meanings from it.

Her pretty face flushed, and she said angrily, "Why are you looking at me? Drive and watch the road!"

He couldn't help but smile, then turned his eyes away and focused on driving.

Upon arriving at Qinglan Bay, he slowly drove the car into the underground parking garage.

Thinking of something, Liang Liangwei looked towards the gate of the residential area and asked, "Hey, will the two bodyguards you arranged to follow me come in?"

Yan Zhixu: "No, they stay outside and live nearby."

As he slowly made his way through the underground parking garage, he asked in a low voice, "You encountered danger that night. Were you injured?"

Liang Liangwei: "No, I was just startled."

Yan Zhixu: "Why didn't you send him to the police station?"

Liang Liangwei: "Sending them to the police station would expose the identities of your two bodyguards, wouldn't it?"

Yan Zhixu frowned: "Just because of this? What does it matter if the bodyguards' identities are exposed? They are retired special forces soldiers, with legal identities."

Liang Liangwei paused for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid of causing you trouble."

Yan Zhixu parked the car in the parking space, turned to look at her, his dark eyes filled with a melancholy look, and said, "Weiwei, to me, your safety is the most important thing. Everything else is not a problem, understand?"

Liang Liangwei noticed a hint of displeasure in his expression, and a flutter of emotion crossed her heart. She pursed her lips and whispered, "I understand."

Yan Zhixu: "You really know? You know what to do next time?"

Liang Liangwei hurriedly replied, "I really understand. Next time, I will definitely use legitimate means to protect my rights and not let the bad guys escape punishment!"

He was very serious, and she was just as serious. They were both silent for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.

Liang Liangwei smiled and gently placed her hand on the back of his hand, which was resting on the center console. She said softly, "Don't worry. I wasn't seriously injured, so I didn't think it was necessary to make a big fuss. That's why I wanted to handle it discreetly. Besides, wasn't it you who had that male model blacklisted? He didn't get a good ending. It's much more satisfying than having the police deal with him."

Yan Zhixu lowered his gaze and tacitly agreed.

"Go on up, I brought you a gift."

Liang Liangwei readily agreed, saying, "Really? I'm so happy! Can you tell me what it is first?"

The two got out of the car. Yan Zhixu took the bouquet of roses from the back seat and handed it to her. Then he took his own suitcase from the trunk and said, "I'll show it to you when we get in."

Liang Liangwei didn't ask any more questions. Holding the flowers, she walked beside him, gently placing one hand on the suitcase he was pushing.

As she went upstairs and entered the house, she placed the bouquet on the dining table and bent down to gently smell it.

Seeing that the moisture on the flowers had dissipated, I went to the kitchen, dipped my hand in some water, and gently flicked it onto the flowers.

The flowers quickly became vibrant and beautiful again.

Yan Zhixu returned from the kitchen with two glasses of water and handed one to her.

After they both finished drinking water, he carried his suitcase upstairs, and she followed behind with her hands behind her back.

Once inside the room, he laid his suitcase down and gestured with his chin towards her: "You take a shower first, I'll unpack my luggage."

Liang Liangwei stood to the side: "So mysterious, saying she'd give me a gift, and then urging me to take a shower."

Yan Zhixu chuckled: "So eager to see? Fine, wait and see."

Liang Liangwei was indeed curious. He had never been so mysterious when he brought her gifts before. Tonight's behavior only made her more eager to see it in advance, so she sat on the edge of the bed and waited.

Yan Zhixu knelt on one knee on the ground and opened his suitcase, which contained neatly arranged clothes and various supplies.

He took out his tablet and laptop, and then put his clothes on the bed, under which was a high-end, exquisitely packaged box.

He picked up the box, walked to the bedside and placed it next to her. He then sat down, looked up at her, and gazed deeply into her eyes.

Liang Liangwei's heart suddenly started racing. Although she didn't know what was inside, she had a feeling that it would be something amazing.

Under her expectant gaze, the man slowly opened the box, revealing a sparkling diamond necklace inside.
