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

Chapter 156 Are you her first love?

Yan Bei'an's face stiffened, and he forced a smile, saying, "Please don't overthink it..."

He waved to Fang Xun, signaling him to leave first.

Fang Xun knew he shouldn't linger, so he carefully walked back the way he came. As he passed Xiao Ling, he whispered, "Auntie, please don't misunderstand, I'll be going now, goodbye..."

Xiao Ling didn't even glance at him, only staring intently at Yan Bei'an.

After everyone had walked away, she went up to Yan Bei'an and pinched his ear, giving it a quick tug but not quite pulling hard, saying with a look of utter disappointment, "Do you think your mother is stupid? What kind of company CEO would hug and kiss a male employee while trying to break up a fight, huh?"

Yan Bei'an grinned and covered his ears, saying, "That was really an accident. He was just too heartbroken and lost control for a moment, mistaking the person for someone else."

Xiao Ling: "And what about you? You just let him do that too?"

Yan Bei'an: "I didn't react in time, and you appeared first. Even if you hadn't appeared, I would have pushed him away a second later, really!"

Xiao Ling angrily withdrew her hand, still looking furious: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known you were so close to someone of the same sex without any sense of propriety! And in broad daylight, in the middle of the world..."

She didn't pay attention to what the man looked like, but she knew he was thin and looked frail and delicate. He had feminine features, no wonder he would casually seek comfort from anyone when he was wronged.

The thought of the disgusting scene of her son being groped just now sent chills down her spine.

Yan Bei'an remained silent, his mind somewhat dazed.

He felt helpless in the face of his mother's intense reaction to just seeing him and Fang Xun's unintentional hug. He couldn't imagine how devastated she would be if he really came out to her.

Fang Xun must be in the same predicament, which is why he doesn't dare to confront his mother.

In this respect alone, he really shouldn't have made things difficult for him.

But if they can't take that step, they're destined never to be together.

Sure enough, no matter how well you plan, human calculations can't always be as good as fate, and in the end, it will all come to nothing.

Perhaps he and Fang Xun should never have started.

Xiao Ling still felt uncomfortable: "He's your company's employee, which means you see each other every day? Keeping an employee who doesn't even spare the embrace of someone of the same sex in the company is like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment! No, I don't agree, you fire him right now!"

Yan Bei'an was speechless for a moment, and could only reply, "I understand, I'll find an excuse to deal with it."

Xiao Ling was still not convinced: "Don't try to fool me. I'll come to your company for a spot check!"

Yan Bei'an replied perfunctorily, "Okay, I understand. You can come anytime."

Anyway, Fang Xun doesn't work at the company.

Once she relaxed, Xiao Ling felt a headache coming on. She clutched her chest and exhaled a couple of breaths, saying, "Ugh, I'm so angry, I feel dizzy and have chest tightness. It's so suffocating! You're really giving me a lot of trouble!"

Yan Bei'an hurriedly said, "Are you really feeling unwell? Shall I go with you to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Xiao Ling glared at him: "Don't make me angry, then I'm perfectly fine!"

Yan Bei'an felt awkward, but quickly caught the unusual word in her words: "We? Who else has angered you? By the way, why did you suddenly come here? Is there something you need?"

Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I came to see you because of Weiwei's matter."

Yan Bei'an was taken aback: "What's wrong with her?"

Xiao Ling glanced at him and asked, "You and Weiwei are doing well, right?"

Yan Bei paused for a moment, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and instead asked, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Xiao Ling pursed her lips and said, "It's not that I have a problem with Weiwei. On the contrary, I really like that girl. It's very comfortable to be around her. But... she's such a pretty girl, don't she have a lot of suitors outside?"

Yan Beian was surprised that she would suddenly bring this up. Although he was surprised, he gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, but she has never dated anyone before. At least as far as I know, she has never dated anyone since I've known her."

Xiao Ling's eyes lit up: "Really? Then son, are you her first love?"

Yan Bei'an was stunned, and actually thought about it seriously. Could he be considered Liang Liangwei's... "first love"?

If we ignore the monetary transaction aspect, then it should count, right?

But because money was involved, it doesn't count.

But he couldn't tell his mother directly, so he said, "I'll ask her later. Maybe she talked about it before she met me."

Xiao Ling clicked her tongue and punched him lightly: "Who goes out of their way to ask their girlfriend this question!"

Yan Bei'an looked completely innocent: "Isn't this what you wanted to know?"

Xiao Ling quickly clarified, "No, I didn't really want to know."

Yan Bei'an chuckled: "What exactly do you want to say? Did you come all this way just to ask if anyone is pursuing her?"

Xiao Ling thought to herself that Liang Liangwei's post on WeChat Moments might really have been deleted. She didn't know if Yan Bei'an had seen the post, nor had she saved the screenshot that He Yaxiu had shown her. How should she ask?

She tried to bring it up tactfully: "I saw a post on Weiwei's WeChat Moments saying that someone gave her a bag. Did you know about that?"

Yan Bei'an: "I know."

Xiao Ling thought he didn't know and was just asking, but he directly said he knew, which surprised her.

"you know?"

Yan Bei'an: "Yes, I know."

Xiao Ling hurriedly asked, "So what happened?"

Yan Bei'an: "Weiwei received a bag yesterday, but it wasn't signed. She didn't know who sent it, so she asked on her WeChat Moments. Not long after, she posted another message saying that she now knew who sent it and had returned the bag."

Xiao Ling was dumbfounded: "That's it?"

Yan Bei'an: "That's it."

Xiao Ling: "She told you?"

Yan Bei'an: "Mm."

Xiao Ling: "Do you know who sent it?"

Yan Bei'an shook his head: "She said someone gave her the bag and asked her to do something for them, but she refused and returned the bag."

Xiao Ling: "Male or female?"

Yan Bei'an shook his head: "He didn't say."

Xiao Ling complained, "Why didn't you ask?"

Yan Bei'an chuckled: "What's there to ask? Whether it's a man or a woman, she's already sent them back."

He looked at his mother and said meaningfully, "If it really is someone pursuing her, the fact that she decided to return the bag means she doesn't intend to accept him, so you don't need to worry about it too much."

Xiao Ling thought about it and agreed.

But why would He Yaxiu say that someone was pursuing her and that's why she gave her the bag?

Moreover, why did she delete the posts she made on WeChat Moments?

Coming to her senses, she noticed her son staring at her. She coughed lightly and said, "Okay, okay, I admit I was overthinking it, but I was just worried that having too many suitors for your girlfriend would be bad for you. Just consider this a wasted trip. But son, don't say I didn't warn you, Weiwei is such a great person, you'd better keep a close eye on her, otherwise someone else will snatch her away, and you'll be crying then!"

Yan Beian's lips twitched. He really wanted to take this opportunity to confront her about the fact that Liang Liangwei had already been snatched away by his uncle as his official girlfriend.

But seeing his mother so anxiously protecting her son's "girlfriend," he opened his mouth, but hesitated.

Xiao Ling was in a good mood at the moment. After warning her son, she didn't forget to remind her: "Tomorrow is the weekend. Remember to take Weiwei back to the old house for dinner. Your grandfather was talking about her this morning."

Yan Bei'an frowned and said, "What kind of logic is it to make someone come home every weekend? We haven't even talked about marriage yet."

Xiao Ling thought about it and realized that made sense, so she didn't insist: "Alright then, I'll go back and talk to your grandfather. We can't keep such a close eye on people."

Yan Bei'an saw Xiao Ling off to her car, then stood by the roadside watching it drive away, lost in thought.

I'll take advantage of the weekend trip back to the old house to tell my family the truth.
