Chapter 396 Different Stances, Inability to Empathize

Yan Zhixu looked up at her upon hearing this: "Why?"

Liang Liangwei said nonchalantly, "I don't mind, I'm just worried you'll be unhappy. If you don't want to stay here any longer, we can pack up the food and take it home to enjoy later. It's still early, hehe..."

Yan Zhixu glanced at the table not far away. The man there was having dinner with a female client, but he seemed distracted, glancing in their direction every now and then.

He curled his lips into a smile and gestured with his chin toward Liang Liangwei: "Feed me."

Liang Liangwei was taken aback: "Huh?"

Yan Zhixu: "I haven't finished cutting it yet, feed me a piece first."

It's not a difficult thing, as long as you can make him happy.

Liang Liangwei quickly forked a piece of steak and held it to the man's lips in a flattering manner, gesturing for him to open his mouth.

"what--"

Yan Zhixu took the steak and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

Liang Liangwei: "Is it delicious? It smells amazing to me."

Yan Zhixu responded, lowered her eyes and continued what she was doing, saying in a calm tone, "No need to take it back, just eat it here."

Liang Liangwei: "But you—"

Yan Zhixu: "I'm not angry. Let them eat their food, and we'll eat ours. Just ignore it."

Seeing that he looked calm and composed, and didn't seem to have any particular emotions, Liang Liangwei felt relieved and began to eat.

After finishing her meal, she paid with her phone and gestured for the man to leave.

Back in the car, she fastened her seatbelt, took out her phone, opened her music app, found her favorite playlist, and connected it to the car's portable player via Bluetooth.

Soothing music played inside the car.

Then I plugged the phone into the charging cable and placed it on the center console.

Noticing the man's gaze on her, she looked up at him.

"what's wrong?"

Yan Zhixu looked at her with bright, dark eyes, and parted his thin lips slightly: "Aren't you going to send him a message to say goodbye?"

Liang Liangwei hesitated for a moment before confirming that he was referring to Shen Zhengming, but she wasn't sure if he was joking: "Want it? Maybe not?"

Yan Zhixu said calmly, "He was entertaining clients for your company. It's only right and proper that you greet him, since he works for you."

Liang Liangwei thought about it and agreed, so she picked up her phone and unlocked it.

Watching her actions, Yan Zhixu suddenly asked, "Do you need me to send it for you?"

How could Liang Liangwei dare to disobey him? She obediently handed over her phone.

Yan Zhixu raised the corners of her lips, took the phone, found Shen Zhengming's number on WeChat, and started typing.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for your hospitality. My boyfriend and I will be leaving now."

The reply came quickly: 【Okay.】

He then handed the phone back.

Liang Liangwei glanced at the conversation between the two parties, said nothing more, and locked her phone before putting it down.

Back home, after taking showers, Liang Liangwei pulled Yan Zhixu to sit down by the bed to change his dressing.

The wound on my forehead was treated with medicine first, then my shoulder.

The wound is healing very well, and now there's no need for anti-inflammatory medication. Just apply a cream that promotes skin recovery and growth every day.

To avoid rubbing against my clothes, I put on a band-aid.

After applying the medicine, she put away the medicine box.

Yan Zhixu put on his bathrobe, watched her movements, and asked, "Are you going to sleep?"

Liang Liangwei: "I'll edit the picture a little longer. What about you? It's not that early, is it?"

It's not even 10 o'clock yet.

Yan Zhixu: "Okay, let's go to the study together."

The two went into the study, sat down at their respective desks, and went about their own business.

Half an hour later, Liang Liangwei went downstairs to heat up the milk.

A moment later, she carried two cups of warmed milk upstairs and walked to the door of the study.

To make it easier for herself to go in, she simply closed the door when she came out.

At that moment, I could clearly hear a WeChat voice message coming from inside; it was a woman.

"Ah Xu, Lisa was just impeached by several shareholders. They said she's been distracted since she came back, and in just a few days, she signed two wrong contracts and made several wrong decisions, indirectly causing losses of several hundred million. What do you think?"

Yan Zhixu's voice was cold: "We can't treat the company as a place for unconditional trial and error, and keep tolerating her, can we?"

"what do you mean?"

Yan Zhixu: "I warned her when she was still here that many people coveted her position, but she seemed to take it lightly at the time. What could I say? It was her own mistake. No one framed or misled her. Since that's the case, it seems that she is no longer suitable to stay in that position."

"how do you want to do it?"

Yan Zhixu sneered, "Auntie, the shareholders' opinion is the opinion of the group's senior management. We can't go against the board of directors, can we?"

"Are you trying to fan the flames?"

Yan Zhixu paused for a moment, then said, "You wouldn't be reluctant to part with it, would you?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a sigh escaped, and someone said, "After all, we've raised her for so many years..."

Yan Zhixu: "Different stances make it impossible to empathize."

"I understand what you mean, you have your own ideas."

Yan Zhixu: "I'm sorry, Auntie."

"It's fine, just do what you think is right."

Yan Zhixu: "Thank you, Auntie."

The person on the other end laughed and changed the subject: "When are you coming back? Your grandma's birthday is coming up soon."

Liang Liangwei's heart jumped.

Yan Zhixu said in a gentle voice, "I'm making preparations and will head back ahead of time."

Will you bring her back?

Yan Zhixu: Yes, I've already told her.

"Alright, we'll wait to get to know her."

Liang Liangwei waited until the call ended inside before pretending nothing had happened and pushing the door open to go in.

"The milk is here."

Yan Zhixu took the milk and casually took her hand, saying, "Come sit down for a while."

He gestured for her to sit on his lap.

Liang Liangwei: "I still need to go over and edit the photos."

Yan Zhixu: "It won't take too long, we'll just chat for a little while."

Liang Liangwei had no choice but to put down the milk and let him pull her to sit on his lap.

Just as she was about to ask him what he wanted to talk about, she saw the man lean down and kiss her lips.

"No rush, let's kiss for a while first."

I knew he was up to no good!

Liang Liangwei wrapped her arms around the man's neck and obediently accepted his kiss.

He kissed her deeply, and his hands were not idle either, sliding inside her pajamas to gently caress her soft abdomen and back.

After a while, they finally caught their breath and rested.

He looked down at her and asked, "I told you before that I would take you to the beautiful country before the New Year. Have you applied for a visa?"

Liang Liangwei: "It's being processed, and I should be able to get it in a few days."

Yan Zhixu: "My grandmother's birthday is on the 12th of next month, and we'll go there on the 10th."

That's only about 20 days at most.

She nestled against his neck and whispered, "My English is so-so~"

Yan Zhixu chuckled: "We're not testing your foreign language skills, and even if you're just average, we won't bully you."

Liang Liangwei blinked: "What if we can't understand what the people over there are saying?"

Yan Zhixu: "With me here, just treat me like a portable flipper."

Liang Liangwei laughed: "What if they insult me, but you interpret it as a compliment, and I politely reply 'thank you,' wouldn't that be ridiculous?"

Yan Zhixu was both amused and exasperated: "Why would I scold you for no reason?"

Liang Liangwei said casually, "I think Lisa really wants to curse me."

Yan Zhixu's handsome face darkened slightly, and he said, "Then I won't arrange for you to see her."

Liang Liangwei retorted, "You can protect me, but can you really control her coming and going as she pleases?"

Yan Zhixu stared at her intently and said, "At least on my turf, if I don't let her come, she can't come."

Liang Liangwei looked up at him, reached out and gently stroked the man's handsome face, somewhat captivated by him.

This man was visibly showering her with affection.

She couldn't help but press her lips close to his, sucking on his warm lips again and again.

The man's eyes grew even deeper, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, deepening the kiss.

She straightened up and, suppressing her embarrassment, straddled him.

"It's my turn..."
