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

Chapter 400: The Ambiguous Meaning

Yan Zhixu stared intently at her, his gaze slowly moving from her beautiful face down to her elegant cheongsam dress, lingering for a long while on her graceful waistline.

The ambiguous meaning that gradually emerged in his eyes was quite intriguing.

Liang Liangwei blushed at the gaze and said reproachfully, "Where are you looking?"

The man withdrew his gaze from her delicate features amidst her soft protest, letting out a light chuckle as he walked towards her, his tone flirtatious and suggestive: "How about we skip the auction? I can find you something similar elsewhere..."

"Don't come any closer!" Seeing the man about to approach, Liang Liangwei took a big step to the side and said angrily, "I don't want anything else, I just want that one from the auction. You said it suited me, why should I change it for no reason? No, I want that one, you have to bid for it for me!"

Yan Zhixu stopped in his tracks, looking at her feigned fierce expression, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll take that picture."

He also changed into the traditional Chinese-style suit he had prepared for himself and stood in front of the mirror to straighten his clothes.

After Liang Liangwei finished styling his hair, she couldn't help but steal glances at him as she tidied herself up.

So handsome~

Gone is his usual ruthless and domineering CEO aura; he instantly transforms into a gentle and refined nobleman. It's undeniable that clothing can significantly alter one's image.

Yan Zhixu fastened the pine cufflinks, completing the final step.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and he went to open it.

Xu Chaofeng was outside the door: "President Yan, it's almost time."

Yan Zhixu: "Okay, arrange a car, let's leave immediately."

Xu Chaofeng: "Yes."

At the same time, Liang Liangwei also received a WeChat message from Xiao Ling: [The auction starts in half an hour, have you arrived yet?]

Liang Liangwei: [If we go now, we should arrive soon.]

Xiao Ling: [There are lots of beautiful jewelry pieces tonight. Come over quickly, see which one you like, and I'll take a picture of it for you as a gift.]

What's going on tonight? Everyone wants to buy her jewelry as a gift?

Liang Liangwei: [Thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law. You didn't need to spend money. I just went along for the fun. If I really like something, I can bid on it myself.]

Xiao Ling: [Come here first, I have a catalog of the auction items, I guarantee you'll find a lot you like~]

Liang Liangwei: [Okay.]

Yan Zhixu walked over: "Weiwei, it's time to go."

Liang Liangwei responded and followed him out, carrying her things.

When the elevator arrived downstairs, she took the man's arm and stepped out, immediately spotting Chairman Lin coming from the adjacent reception area.

"Chairman Lin." Yan Zhixu stopped and nodded politely when he saw the other party.

Chairman Lin smiled and said, "President Yan, I asked him and he said he's ready to serve you anytime. So it depends on President Yan's schedule. Just contact his assistant to confirm the time."

Yan Zhixu: "Okay, thank you for your help, Chairman Lin."

"No trouble at all," Chairman Lin glanced at Liang Liangwei, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, then smiled again, "In just a short while, Miss Liang has changed so much. I thought you were very beautiful just now, but I didn't expect that with these clothes and styling, you would be so beautiful that I almost didn't recognize you!"

Liang Liangwei smiled slightly and said, "Chairman Lin, you flatter me."

Chairman Lin glanced at their intertwined hands, his smile full of meaning, and said to Yan Zhixu, "President Yan, please remember to give me a separate copy of the invitation as well."

Yan Zhixu raised an eyebrow, then understood what she meant. She pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I'll remember that. I will."

Chairman Lin smiled with satisfaction: "Well then, I wish you both a pleasant evening."

After leaving the hotel lobby and getting into the car, Liang Liangwei couldn't help but ask, "What invitation? Do you know Chairman Lin? Are you two very close?"

Yan Zhixu glanced at her and explained, "She is the wife of one of my business partners. I met her downstairs when I came to check into a hotel today, and we chatted for a bit. I got along quite well with her husband and wanted to invite him to dinner. She said she would ask him when he would be free, and she just gave me her answer, telling me to make an appointment anytime."

That’s it~

Seeing her relieved expression, Yan Zhixu found it amusing and leaned closer to ask in a low voice, "Was there a misunderstanding just now?"

Liang Liangwei was too embarrassed to admit that she had almost misunderstood, so she coughed lightly and said, "No, I was just curious. She's so young and beautiful, and she's actually the chairman of this hotel, so I was just asking."

Yan Zhixu: "The shares in this hotel were a gift from her husband, which was considered a betrothal gift when they got married."

The dowry included shares in a five-star hotel, and she was immediately appointed as a director of the hotel—that's incredibly generous!

Her husband must love her very much.

"What about the invitation? What kind of invitation?"

Yan Zhixu tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear and said gently, "It's an invitation to a special event. It was originally for her husband, but if she wants it too, then there will be two invitations. She must be joking with me, because one invitation allows both husband and wife to come."

Liang Liangwei tilted her head and guessed, "Maybe she wants to show off her independent personality?"

Yan Zhixu: "Perhaps."

~

Half an hour later, they arrived at the auction venue.

The venue was lavishly decorated, and all the attendees were wealthy and influential people. Sure enough, everyone was dressed impeccably, with men in suits and women in elegant gowns.

Most women wear Western-style dresses, so Liang Liangwei's cheongsam immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Oh my god, so beautiful~"

"Who is that? She has a great figure, and that cheongsam is absolutely stunning."

"The man is handsome too, they're such a good match!"

Yan Zhixu draped his coat over Liang Liangwei and put his arm around her waist as they walked forward.

"Weiwei~" Xiao Ling greeted them and walked over, her eyes full of surprise and amazement.

Yan Zhixu: "Sister-in-law."

Liang Liangwei responded with a smile, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Xiao Ling took Liang Liangwei's hand and said, "No wonder you agreed so quickly back then. It turns out you were planning to come with A-Xu all along. You didn't even tell me. Were you trying to surprise me?"

Liang Liangwei: "Was my sister-in-law pleasantly surprised?"

Xiao Ling: "What a pleasant surprise! Come on, come with me, I'll introduce you to someone."

She deliberately asked Yan Zhixu, "You don't mind if I borrow your girlfriend, do you?"

Yan Zhixu: "The auction is about to start, as long as it doesn't delay your bidding, sister-in-law."

Xiao Ling was both amused and exasperated: "Is this a reminder to me, or a warning to me not to take up too much of Weiwei's time?"

Yan Zhixu: "Of course it's a reminder."

Xiao Ling glanced at him and said, "Okay, I'll send it back as soon as possible."

He pulled Liang Liangwei away.

Her social circle was naturally comprised of wealthy women, all of whom came from prominent families and had extraordinary backgrounds.

Seeing Liang Liangwei standing next to her, whose face was unfamiliar, they all curiously looked her over.

"Mrs. Yan, who is this...?"

Xiao Ling then introduced them: "This is my brother-in-law's girlfriend."
