Chapter 149 Don't let men get too cocky~

This man... is truly very intelligent.

He was given only a few clues, and he was able to connect them to the key point.

Given that, she naturally had no need to deny it.

He nodded and said, "Well, there happened to be another one like it in that store, so I 'casually' asked about the price."

I had guessed the price wouldn't be low, but I didn't expect it to be that high.

The salesperson said he paid very quickly when he bought it. Didn't he consider the value at all?

Moreover, it was given to his nephew's girlfriend. Even if he had feelings for her at the time, wouldn't he feel uncomfortable giving such an expensive gift?

Even if he only gave away tens of thousands or thousands of dollars, no one would think it was too casual.

Yan Zhixu tightened his grip on the lighter slightly, looked at her with gentle eyes, and said, "Buying you a gift is my way of showing my appreciation. I thought it suited you, so I bought it. I don't expect you to reciprocate."

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "I understand. It's just a token of my affection. Giving a gift to my boyfriend is perfectly normal."

Yan Zhixu gently stroked the leopard eye diamond with the pad of her thumb. Although there was only one, it was much larger than the ones on her necklace, and it was obviously very expensive.

He felt his calm heart being gently stirred, with ripples spreading out in circles, creating an unbearable tingling sensation.

"Didn't you say you were short of money? You still spent so much money to buy it. Are you sure you'll have money for food next month?" he joked.

Liang Liangwei laughed: "I'm not that desperate."

Although the amount of 89 yuan was painful for her to pay, she is in a special situation now and has to work hard to earn everything she needs, so every penny is precious.

It's not that I have no savings at all; it's just that I can't spend money on big-ticket items as freely as before.

Besides—and this is something she absolutely cannot let him know—she just earned 90 yuan from his nephew. At worst, she can just consider it money she took from his nephew to buy him a gift.

She added, "Besides, I have a job and I earn quite a bit, how could I not even have money for food?"

Yan Zhixu chuckled: "That's because I underestimated you."

Liang Liangwei: "Hmm~"

Yan Zhixu closed his palms and said, "Then I will accept this gift."

Liang Liangwei: "Let's accept it."

Yan Zhixu chuckled lightly, got up and walked to the table, placing the lighter on it.

Then he walked back and sat down, gesturing for her to continue eating.

After the meal, Liang Liangwei went to the lounge to rinse her mouth. When she came out, the coffee table had been cleaned.

Yan Zhixu was sitting at her desk, a cigarette between her lips, her hand cupping the flame as she lit it, using the lighter that she had given her.

The man's hands were long, clean, and well-defined. Every movement he made was graceful and elegant. The black and gold panther was held in his hand as if it were made for him, perfectly fitting his hand shape.

She was quite pleased with herself; the gift was really well-chosen.

Hearing the voice, Yan Zhixu turned his head to look, exhaled a smoke ring, took off his cigarette, dusted off the ash, and asked, "Want to rest? You can lie down inside for a while."

Liang Liangwei walked to the table and stood there: "No need, I got up late this morning, and I'm in good spirits now."

Yan Zhixu placed the cigarette beside the ashtray and reached out to her: "Come here."

Liang Liangwei glanced at him; she was only half a meter away from him, and it was obvious what she was going to do if she walked over.

That jerk, is he trying to do the same "bad thing" as last night? Does he think she's stupid?

“Speak your mind. I can hear you just by standing here.”

Yan Zhixu chuckled: "You have to whisper sweet nothings so you can't hear them."

Liang Liangwei blushed; he really dared to say that.

Before she knew it, the man grabbed her waist and pulled her over. She gasped softly, and the next moment she was sitting on his lap.

She froze instantly.

The man's cool breath brushed against her neck, and he said in a low, husky voice, "Be good, I won't do anything to you. Just sit here and keep me company."

Her breath hitched, and she whispered, "Then what are you going to do? Won't I be in your way?"

Yan Zhixu said lazily, "I wanted you to go inside and rest. Actually, I also wanted to rest for a while, but I'm sure you wouldn't want to. So why don't we sit here and rest together?"

Liang Liangwei felt a little itchy from being teased, but she didn't dare to move around too much, afraid of stimulating him like she did last night.

"You should get some rest. Isn't your work this afternoon very important?"

Yan Zhixu gently kissed her delicate skin and whispered in response, "Yes, I have two meetings in a row, and I also have to handle some important project documents. I also have a social engagement tonight. Oh, and I can't have dinner with you tonight."

Liang Liangwei: Okay, you go ahead and do your work.

The man seemed to think that such a brief encounter was not enough, so he turned her face around, tilted his head, and kissed her lips deeply.

Her breathing became erratic: "...Didn't you want to rest?"

The man silenced her with a kiss, a soft chuckle escaping his throat: "With you here, how could I bear to rest?"

Her lips trembled, and though she spoke with some difficulty, she still managed to utter, "So it's my fault for being here? Then I'll leave?"

"Can you leave?" He slipped his hand under her waist, his eyes darkening. "Do you like me kissing you? Hmm?"

I love it! I love it so much!

Of course, you can't say that; you can't let the man get too cocky.

She didn't speak, her eyes half-closed, focusing on kissing him.

After a while, a buzzing sound of machinery came from the side.

Liang Liangwei blinked, came to her senses, and recognized the sound as coming from the fax machine.

She pushed him.

Yan Zhixu reluctantly released her, not taking it to heart: "Just received a fax."

Liang Liangwei was actually afraid of crossing the line with the kiss, so she pursed her lips, changed her posture, sat facing the computer, and turned her profile towards the man.

Yan Zhixu smiled helplessly, raised his hand and gently rubbed the strands of hair on her forehead, his face full of affection.

Liang Liangwei looked at the computer: "I heard from the girl downstairs that you can see the security camera footage from the lobby on your computer, is that right?"

He casually replied, "Mm."

Liang Liangwei: "Can I take a look at it?"

Yan Zhixu gripped the mouse and began to operate it: "What do you want to see?"

He didn't think she was just watching out of boredom; there must be some purpose to it.

Sure enough, Liang Liangwei said, "I want to see if those people have left yet. I don't want to run into them again when I go down."

After Yan Zhixu turned on the monitoring system, he handed her the mouse to operate. Liang Liangwei saw four real-time images appear on the screen at the same time, which were the downstairs lobby images monitored from different angles, and the pixels were very clear.

After the man made a few adjustments, the 4-frame view became 8-frame, offering more angles.

She clicked her tongue in surprise: "Are there so many surveillance cameras in the lobby?"

Yan Zhixu: "The hall is large, and some areas are easily blocked, so we installed several more."

Liang Liangwei thought to herself: No wonder he knew so much about the situation downstairs, which scared Lin Yi quite a bit.

Most of the employees have returned to work, and Le Peier, Lin Yi, and others have also left, and things have returned to normal downstairs.

She watched for a while longer, then said, "They're gone, so I'm leaving too."

Yan Zhixu wrapped his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and looked at her profile intimately: "Are you really leaving?"
