Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Gu Yizhou: Being with the President Feels a Bit Like... Like Having an Affair???

Damn it!

’This woman is just as infuriating as my Xiaobai!’

Gu Yizhou shook his head helplessly.

"No."

He said to Yan Luoxi.

"Oh."

Yan Luoxi gave him a deep look, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly.

She set down her teacup and said nonchalantly, "Mm... then it’s settled."

"Er..."

What else could Gu Yizhou say? He could only agree, nodding. "Alright, President Yan."

Just then, the waiter brought over the dishes Yan Luoxi had ordered.

Having achieved her goal, Yan Luoxi didn’t say anything more.

Since Yan Luoxi wasn’t talking, Gu Yizhou naturally kept quiet as well.

The two of them lowered their heads and began to eat in silence.

...

「A few minutes later.」

Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but ask, "Are you always this fast?"

"Huh?"

Her sudden question caught Gu Yizhou off guard for a moment.

He looked blankly at Yan Luoxi, who was sitting across from him.

’What does she mean by that?’

’Why does that sound so strange?’

’What does she mean, "always this fast"?’

’Can she just say things like that?’

If they weren’t in a restaurant having a meal right now, Gu Yizhou probably wouldn’t be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

Seeing Gu Yizhou’s silence, Yan Luoxi thought he hadn’t heard her clearly, so she asked again, "I mean, do you eat as fast as you work?"

"Uh... (⊙o⊙)..."

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou finally understood.

’Oh, so that’s what she was asking!’

At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought for a moment and replied casually, "Mm... it’s a habit. I’ve always been pretty fast."

"I see."

Yan Luoxi nodded.

And so, the two of them started chatting idly, making small talk.

...

「Around two in the afternoon.」

Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi had finished their meal and driven back to the underground parking garage of the Tidal Group.

Just like last time, Yan Luoxi got out at the elevator entrance and went up first.

Meanwhile, Gu Yizhou went to find a parking spot.

For some reason, as Gu Yizhou watched Yan Luoxi’s departing figure, he got a strange feeling.

’It’s a bit like... having an affair???’

The thought flashed through Gu Yizhou’s mind, unbidden.

It was enough to give himself a fright.

"BZZZT— BZZZT— BZZZT—"

Just then, his phone started vibrating.

Snapping back to his senses, Gu Yizhou shook his head to clear it of those messy thoughts and picked up his phone to look at it.

He saw it was a message from Su Qianqian.

She said she was back from her business trip and asked if Gu Yizhou was free tonight. She wanted to come to his neighborhood to have dinner with him.

Gu Yizhou was about to refuse, but then Su Qianqian sent another message, saying she had something to tell him and might need his help.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou thought for a moment and agreed.

After quickly replying, Gu Yizhou parked the car and went upstairs.

...

「Meanwhile, with Yan Luoxi.」

She’d had lunch with that damn man again today, so Yan Luoxi was in a great mood.

She walked back to her president’s office with a spring in her step.

Tossing her bag and phone onto the desk, Yan Luoxi plopped down into her executive chair.

A faint smile couldn’t help but appear on her face.

’It’s so fun watching that damn man get flustered.’

’Hehe~’

’Plus, that damn man already agreed to be on the same team as me.’

’That means I’ll have an excuse to find him and see him whenever I want from now on.’

’So happy!’

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.

Gu Yizhou had finished his tasks for the day, and the "CFA" professional investment analysis team had no current assignments. ’I haven’t seen my cat all day, I actually miss it!’ he thought. Plus, Su Qianqian had said she was coming over for dinner. So, without any hesitation, Gu Yizhou shut down his computer and left for the day.

「6:25 PM.」

Gu Yizhou drove back to the entrance of his residential complex. Just as he was about to enter the underground garage, he suddenly spotted Su Qianqian not far away.

Su Qianqian was walking toward the complex entrance.

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment, then stopped the car right at the entrance. When Su Qianqian got closer, he honked the horn.

"BEEP BEEP—"

The sudden honk startled Su Qianqian.

But when she saw clearly that it was Gu Yizhou in the car, her eyes lit up, and she hurried over to the side of the vehicle.

"Yizhou, what are you doing here?"

Su Qianqian asked.

"Er..."

Hearing Su Qianqian’s words, Gu Yizhou was momentarily at a loss for how to answer.

’Isn’t that a stupid question?’

’I’m coming home from work. Where else would I be?’

Su Qianqian also realized there was something wrong with what she had just said, and her face flushed slightly with embarrassment.

"Um... Classmate Su, get in the car first."

Gu Yizhou said, changing the subject.

"Oh, okay."

Su Qianqian nodded, then walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and got in.

The Mercedes G-Wagon is quite high off the ground.

Fortunately, Su Qianqian wasn’t short, otherwise it would have been quite awkward for her to get in!

After settling into the passenger seat, something occurred to Su Qianqian and she asked, "Yizhou, when did you buy a car?"

"Er... it’s a long story."

Gu Yizhou shook his head. "I can’t explain it in just a few words. I’ll tell you during dinner."

"Oh, okay."

Hearing this, Su Qianqian, though very curious, didn’t press him further.

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment, then turned to Su Qianqian and asked, "So... Classmate Su, what do you want to eat? We can eat out."

After he spoke, Su Qianqian shook her head. "Let’s eat at home today. I’ll cook for you."

"You’ll cook?"

Gu Yizhou was stunned for a second. "You don’t have to go to all that trouble, do you?"

"It’s fine, it’s no trouble at all."

"Eating out is expensive and unhygienic. Let’s go buy groceries and cook ourselves."

Su Qianqian insisted.

"Well... alright."

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou didn’t argue any further.

Then, he started the car and went to buy groceries with Su Qianqian.

...

「About ten minutes later.」

Gu Yizhou and Su Qianqian arrived at a large nearby supermarket.

After getting out of the car, they headed straight for the supermarket entrance.

As they walked into the supermarket, their looks, both top-tier by any standard, drew countless stares.

"Whoa~"

"That guy is so handsome!"

"Wow~"

"He’s seriously so handsome!!!"

...

A group of girls chattered as they stared at Gu Yizhou.

"Alright, stop drooling!"

"Didn’t you see the girl next to him?"

"Can your looks even compare to hers?"

A guy nearby couldn’t help but speak up, shattering the girls’ fantasies.

"Hmph!"

"None of your business!"

"Ugly freak!"

The group of girls glared at the guy.

The guy: "..."
