Chapter 377: Do I really have to find the same person?
Over the phone, Yan Yunting's tone was meaningful: "Xiao Er, last night, did you bring your girlfriend to the cocktail party hosted by Secretary-General Song?"
Yan Zhixu frowned and said, "Yes, elder brother has already received the news?"
Yan Yunting: "Actually, I also received an invitation, but I was on a business trip and didn't get back until 11 p.m., so I missed it."
Yan Zhixu: "Oh, brother, you've worked hard. You only got back in the middle of the night. You have to go to work early this morning."
Yan Yunting: "Don't change the subject. You should know why I called you."
Yan Zhixu: "Brother, could you give me a clear answer?"
Yan Yunting asked in a deep voice, "What's going on between you and Weiwei... I mean, Miss Liang? How did she become your girlfriend?"
Yan Zhixu: "As you have heard, she and I are currently dating."
Yan Yunting paused, then asked, "The girl you said you liked before, the girl you were pursuing, is she?"
Yan Zhixu: "Yes."
Yan Yunting pinched the bridge of his nose: "Absurd!"
Yan Zhixu feigned ignorance: "Why do you say that, elder brother?"
Yan Yunting: "You know perfectly well that she talked to Bei'an, how could you..."
Yan Zhixu said indifferently, "Her relationship with Bei'an is not worth mentioning; neither of them took it seriously."
Yan Yunting disagreed: "How could you say we didn't take it seriously? Bei'an even brought Miss Liang home to meet Dad!"
Yan Zhixu: "Wasn't that because my sister-in-law and father forced me to do it!"
Yan Yunting was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Yan Zhixu: "Bei'an and I both deeply understand this. He clearly doesn't want to get married yet, but his father insists on pressuring him, which leads Bei'an to use extreme methods, such as hastily finding a 'girlfriend' to bring home to deal with the pressure to get married."
Yan Yunting: "How to deal with the pressure to get married?"
Yan Zhixu: "Yes, they were never really dating. Later they realized they weren't a good match, so they naturally broke up."
Yan Yunting paused for a long time, trying to digest the answer.
Then he asked, "And what about you and Miss Liang? Were you also just trying to appease Dad? If you're just trying to appease him, do you have to use the same person? Even if you're both fake... no, this is just absurd!"
It's incredibly absurd that an uncle and nephew would both find the same partner to appease their families!
Even if he could accept his son's actions, he couldn't accept his brother's...
Yan Zhixu's expression softened, and he said slowly, "Brother, I am different from Bei'an. I truly love Weiwei, which is why I pursued her. I struggled before, but I couldn't control my heart. I want to marry her, and I will only marry her. In this life, I have decided that she is the only one."
This direct attack left Yan Yunting speechless.
"You're bringing her home to meet Dad tonight, is that what you're planning to say to him?"
Yan Zhixu: "Yes, I guessed you would be the first to get the news and would definitely come to ask me, so I might as well be upfront with you now."
The news must have spread throughout the business community last night. Even without photos of Liang Liangwei and him, it's impossible to keep the fact that he has a girlfriend a secret.
Those with a keen eye can uncover the truth by investigating based on some unsubstantiated descriptions, such as the fact that the two were previously paired up as a couple online, and the ins and outs of the "Peak of the Iceberg" incident.
Yan Yunting certainly had this ability.
Yan Yunting sighed.
Yan Zhixu turned around and walked behind the desk, slowly sat down, and said, "Brother, I hope you won't tell Sister-in-law and Dad about this for now, otherwise, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get into the house tonight."
Yan Yunting said irritably, "So you know you can't get in the house? No, even if you do get in, you'll still anger Dad. What's the difference between that and not getting in at all?"
Yan Zhixu: "Of course there is a difference. I can't let Weiwei not even be able to get in the door. I will bear all the consequences, but Weiwei cannot be wronged."
Yan Yunting was speechless.
After a long while, he said, "Okay, she can't be wronged. You have to be her hero. Your sister-in-law, Dad, and I are all bad guys."
Yan Zhixu said helplessly, "Brother, that's not what I meant."
Yan Yunting said quietly, "Don't explain to me, it's useless. Anyway, I won't interfere with your marriage to Bei'an. You should think about how to face your father."
Yan Zhixu chuckled, "Thank you, elder brother."
Yan Yunting: "Hang up."
Yan Zhixu put her phone away on the table, a smile playing on her lips.
Not bad, at least I got past my older brother's hurdle first.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone again and sent Liang Liangwei a WeChat message: [Want to come over for lunch?]
After a while, Xu Chaofeng finished reporting today's schedule to him, and Liang Liangwei's reply finally arrived: "[No, I have to receive a pre-booked visitor today.]"
Yan Zhixu looked at the reply and shook his head helplessly.
His girlfriend is so busy, which makes him, the CEO boyfriend, seem particularly idle.
In fact, he was not idle either. Xu Chaofeng quickly delivered the meeting materials, and there was a planning meeting that he needed to chair in 10 minutes.
We spent the morning busy.
As lunchtime approached, Liang Liangwei finally saw off the visitors, picked up her phone and glanced at it; it was 11:20.
Lan Yin took the day off today, so no one ordered takeout for her. She can only order now.
As soon as I opened the food delivery app, a new WeChat message popped up at the top of my phone. I opened it and took a look.
Yan Zhixu: [Come down, I'm downstairs at your company.]
She paused for a moment, then quickly replied: 【Why did you come over?】
Yan Zhixu: [My girlfriend didn't have time to have lunch with me, so I had to come and have lunch with her.]
Liang Liangwei chuckled and immediately got up to go to the window to look downstairs. Sure enough, she saw the familiar SUV in an inconspicuous spot by the roadside.
Where to eat?
Yan Zhixu: [I had Qingyuelou send over some food, so we'll eat in the car.]
That would be so unfair to the CEO!
Liang Liangwei: [It's too inconvenient in the car, why don't you come up and eat in my office?]
Yan Zhixu: [Won't this bother you?]
Liang Liangwei: [No, come up quickly, perfect timing, I'll make you some coffee.]
Yan Zhixu: [Okay.]
Liang Liangwei quickly prepared to make coffee.
After she had made two lattes, the man knocked on her door with a lunchbox in hand.
The visitor hadn't closed the door when they left, so it was open. Yan Zhixu knocked symbolically and then came in.
Liang Liangwei carried two lattes to the small table: "Let's sit here and eat."
Yan Zhixu readily agreed and placed the lunchboxes on the small table, then took them out of the bag one by one.
Liang Liangwei closed the door, turned back, and together they took out the lunchbox.
Aren't you busy today?
Yan Zhixu casually replied, "Not too busy."
Actually, he had a lot on his plate, but his desire to see his girlfriend was so strong that he dropped everything and rushed over.
The two sat down and began to eat.
Yan Zhixu placed a piece of cod in her bowl, and she returned the favor by placing a piece of spare rib in her bowl. They smiled at each other and then put the food in their mouths.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door, and Liang Liangwei put down her bowl to open it.
Su Xiaorong was standing outside the door, holding a fruit slice. She peeked inside and, after seeing Yan Zhixu, winked at Liang Liangwei and said, "I heard from the front desk that your boyfriend is here, so I ordered a fruit slice for you."
She raised her voice and said to Yan Zhixu, "President Yan, I brought you some fruit slices. Please enjoy them. You're welcome."
Yan Zhixu looked up and smiled back, nodding, "I still have to thank you, thank you."
"No need to thank me, really no need to thank me. I should thank you for having Weiwei bring me that case of wine. Compared to that, this fruit slice is nothing," Su Xiaorong placed the fruit slice in Liang Liangwei's hands. "Please entertain President Yan properly for our company, Director Liang~"
Liang Liangwei glared at her irritably and whispered, "You're such a busybody!"
Su Xiaorong chuckled and nudged her, then closed the door and left.
