Chapter 334: Cuddle with the Scoundrel, Sleep Together

Chapter 334: Chapter 334: Cuddle with the Scoundrel, Sleep Together

’Would Luoxi like cats?’

’She probably doesn’t hate cats, right?’

Gu Yizhou lay down, placed Xiaobai beside him, and felt a little melancholy.

He hoped Luoxi liked cats too.

That way, they could raise Xiaobai together.

Because he didn’t want to give Xiaobai away...

The man and the cat, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Meow~"

’What’s this silly man thinking about?’

’So engrossed?’

Hearing the cat’s meow, Gu Yizhou finally snapped back to reality.

"Sigh~"

He put down his phone, stroked Yan Luoxi’s head, and sighed softly.

’Hmm?’

’A sigh?’

Yan Luoxi tilted her head and glanced at Gu Yizhou, a little confused.

’Silly man, are you unhappy?’

’If something’s wrong, you can tell me. I can help you.’

’Hmm... When a boyfriend is unhappy, isn’t his girlfriend supposed to comfort him?’

Yan Luoxi thought for a moment, then rubbed her head against Gu Yizhou’s knee.

’Silly man.’

’Don’t be sad.’

Gu Yizhou smiled and said to the cat, "Xiaobai, you’re such a good girl~"

"Come on, come sit on Daddy’s lap for a bit."

Gu Yizhou picked her up and placed her on his lap.

The man and the cat just sat there, not doing anything at all.

Just slowly wasting time like this felt pretty good to Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou put down his phone and stroked Yan Luoxi’s head.

"Xiaobai."

"When do you think would be a good time to tell my mom I’m in a relationship?"

’Now!’

’I’m ready!’

’I’m totally ready!’

’You can tell her anytime!’

Yan Luoxi let out a meow.

She had met Chen Dongmei before.

She genuinely liked this cheerful future mother-in-law of hers.

Gu Yizhou didn’t understand cat language, so naturally, he didn’t get Yan Luoxi’s meaning.

He just thought Xiaobai seemed quite interested in what he said.

So, Gu Yizhou continued, "Well, how do I put this... my girlfriend is pretty wealthy, and I have no idea why she even likes me. We’ve only just gotten together, so the relationship isn’t very stable yet. What if we break up in a few days? That’s why I don’t want to tell my mom about it just yet."

"I’m... I’m just a bit conflicted."

...(⊙o⊙)...

Yan Luoxi felt a little wistful.

But she could actually understand where Gu Yizhou was coming from.

After all, her confession had been a bit sudden.

And they hadn’t known each other for a particularly long time.

She had even been the one to confess first.

No matter how you looked at it, something seemed a little off.

However, she was Xiaobai!

She was Gu Yizhou’s Xiaobai!

So, wasn’t it perfectly normal for her to like Gu Yizhou?

It was just that she felt she would never have the chance to tell Gu Yizhou about this in her lifetime.

Not unless Gu Yizhou caught her turning back into a human with his own eyes.

Otherwise, she really didn’t want to tell him about it, afraid it would scare him.

Her biggest fear was that Gu Yizhou wouldn’t be able to accept it and would break up with her...

Gu Yizhou continued, "Forget it, I’ll just wait a bit longer."

"Once my relationship with Luoxi has stabilized, then I can tell my mom."

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi was instantly overjoyed!

Gu Yizhou didn’t say much more.

He’d deal with future matters when the time came.

There was no use overthinking it today.

Shaking his head, Gu Yizhou got up to wash his face and brush his teeth.

After he finished washing up, Gu Yizhou returned to his room and lay down.

He had just gotten comfortable when he saw Xiaobai get up and patter towards him on her little paws.

Usually, Yan Luoxi would stay on the edge of the bed, keeping some distance from him.

However, now she was Gu Yizhou’s girlfriend.

Of course, she had to sleep right next to him.

She climbed up next to Gu Yizhou’s head, found a comfortable spot, and curled up.

Gu Yizhou could feel the fur on Yan Luoxi’s back brushing against his neck.

"Be careful, I don’t want to roll over on you."

Gu Yizhou liked sleeping close to his cat, but he worried he might roll over on her in his sleep.

"Meow~"

’Silly man.’

’Don’t worry.’

’As long as you’re not a jerk on purpose, you won’t be able to hurt me.’

Yan Luoxi grumbled silently to herself.

Besides, she was a light sleeper anyway. There was no need to worry about being crushed.

Seeing that the cat wouldn’t leave, Gu Yizhou didn’t say anything more and let her sleep nestled against his neck.

Gu Yizhou turned his head and switched on the heat in his bedroom’s air conditioner.

After a short while, the temperature in the bedroom began to rise.

A light rain was falling outside, but the room was cozy and warm.

His cat was right beside him.

Gu Yizhou turned off the bedroom light, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

When he woke up, it was already eight o’clock the next morning.

Gu Yizhou got up, washed, ate, and left for work.

About ten minutes after Gu Yizhou left, perhaps because she had turned into a cat early yesterday afternoon, Yan Luoxi changed back into her human form ahead of schedule.

These days, she would run back to her own apartment, 306, right after Gu Yizhou left for the day, so she didn’t have to bother making an extra trip back and forth.

In the bedroom, Yan Luoxi began to tidy up.

After she finished straightening up, she picked up her phone and turned it on.

As soon as it powered on, she saw she had received a flood of messages.

The first thing she saw were several messages from Gu Yizhou.

Jerk: "I’ve finished the risk assessment coefficient and the final version of the analysis report. I’ll email it to you in a bit. Also... Vice President Luo just came by, and it seems like she’s guessed about our relationship. Just giving you a heads-up."

Jerk: "I’m home. By the way, it’s raining again, and it’s getting cold. Make sure you stay warm."

Jerk: "My Xiaobai is being extra clingy. [Image]"

Jerk: "The rain still hasn’t stopped today, but it’s the kind of rain that puts you in a good mood."

Jerk: "The roads are slippery in the rain. Be careful if you’re driving."

...

’Roy knows...’

When she saw the first message, Yan Luoxi’s heart skipped a beat.

Her brow furrowed slightly, but it smoothed out a second later.

’So what if she knows!’

’Anyway, I’m with that jerk now. This was bound to come out sooner or later.’

’Worst comes to worst, I’ll just make it official with him.’

With these thoughts in mind, Yan Luoxi stopped worrying about it.

She read on.

They were messages from Gu Yizhou, sharing little things and chatting casually out of concern for her.

After reading them, Yan Luoxi felt a sweet warmth spread through her heart.

As long as it was from Gu Yizhou, even meaningless small talk became interesting.

She thought for a moment, then replied to Gu Yizhou’s message: "I got the analysis report. I was working too late last night, so I didn’t want to bother you."

"By the way, the cat is adorable. I love her. The roads are slippery in the rain, so you drive slowly too. Stay safe~"

After Yan Luoxi sent the message, Gu Yizhou didn’t reply.

At this time of day, he was most likely still driving.

Yan Luoxi didn’t mind. She then replied to a few more urgent work-related messages.

After some thought, she sent a message to her assistant, Bai Jie, asking her to prepare two breakfasts, then set off for the office.
