Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Urgent! Yan Luoxi: Damn Man, Should I Open My Mouth?

"Uh..."

"Hehehe..."

Hearing Yan Luoxi’s explanation, Gu Yizhou paused, then broke into a laugh.

Yan Luoxi asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Yizhou picked up his chopsticks, placed a tender piece of lamb chop in Yan Luoxi’s bowl, and said, "I’m laughing because I’m happy."

"Happy?"

Yan Luoxi didn’t quite understand.

"Mhm."

Gu Yizhou nodded.

"Why are you happy?"

Yan Luoxi asked, looking at Gu Yizhou.

"Well, I originally thought that even though we’re dating, we’d probably have to keep it a secret."

"After all, your status is pretty special!"

"But I didn’t expect you to say what you just said."

"So, I’m very happy!"

Gu Yizhou said, looking at her with a serious expression.

"Uh... a secret relationship..."

Yan Luoxi shook her head. She looked at Gu Yizhou and blurted out, "How could that be? We’ll eventually have to..."

She stopped mid-sentence, her pretty face blushing slightly.

’I was going to say, we’ll have to get married eventually, so it’ll have to be public sooner or later!’

However.

After realizing what she was about to say, she was too embarrassed to finish.

’Because if I said that, it would feel like I was proposing to this jerk.’

Gu Yizhou looked at her curiously. "We’ll have to what?"

"Nothing."

"I just wanted to say, if you want to make our relationship public, I’m ready whenever."

Yan Luoxi said.

’Even if my mom disapproves, I won’t leave you.’

She silently added in her heart.

"Uh..."

Hearing Yan Luoxi’s words, Gu Yizhou could tell she was being sincere.

However!

Gu Yizhou didn’t want to make things difficult for Yan Luoxi because of him.

So he said, "Let’s not rush it. We can wait a bit longer."

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, it was Yan Luoxi’s turn for a flash of disappointment to appear in her eyes.

But she wasn’t truly sad.

She knew Gu Yizhou was also thinking of her.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have mentioned keeping the relationship a secret earlier.

Gu Yizhou naturally saw what was on Yan Luoxi’s mind, so he changed the subject. "Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s eat. Try their food and see if you like it."

"Okay."

Yan Luoxi picked up her chopsticks, lifted the piece of lamb chop Gu Yizhou had just placed in her bowl, and took a small bite.

Hmm?

With that one bite, Yan Luoxi’s eyes lit up.

The meat was very tender, but it also had a strange, pleasant chewiness.

The flavor of the broth had completely soaked into the meat, and it didn’t have the gamey taste of mutton that Yan Luoxi disliked.

’It’s so fragrant and delicious!’

"How is it?"

"Is it to your liking?"

Gu Yizhou asked with a small smile.

"Mhm, mhm."

"It’s delicious. I love it."

Yan Luoxi said.

"Good, I’m glad you like it."

Gu Yizhou nodded and then placed a few more pieces of lamb into her bowl.

...

By the time the two of them left the restaurant, half an hour had passed.

It had started raining again outside.

The rain wasn’t heavy, but walking to the parking spot like this would still get their hair wet.

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment and said, "Wait here for a second."

With that, he walked straight into the rain, heading toward their parking spot.

Yan Luoxi watched Gu Yizhou’s back, having a good idea of what he was going to do.

A surge of warmth spread through her heart.

A short while later.

Gu Yizhou returned, holding an open umbrella.

Watching Gu Yizhou hold the umbrella for her, Yan Luoxi’s heart felt warm.

Normally, her assistant Bai Jie would also hold an umbrella for her.

But she had never felt this way before.

At that moment, her assistant Bai Jie, who was on the toilet, suddenly sneezed.

The flush water suddenly shot out of the bowl, nearly splashing her in the face.

...

Yan Luoxi noticed raindrops on Gu Yizhou’s left shoulder, so she reached out and patted it, brushing off the few drops that had collected there.

At that moment, a few other diners taking shelter from the rain at the entrance saw this scene.

They looked at Gu Yizhou with faces full of envy.

"Damn, it’s one thing for this kid to be handsome, but his girlfriend is this gorgeous too?"

"They seem so in love!"

"Yeah!"

"I’m so fucking envious!"

...

The voices were quiet, but both Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi heard them.

Neither of them paid any mind, however.

Gu Yizhou smiled and said softly, "Let’s go."

"Okay."

Yan Luoxi nodded.

The two of them then walked side-by-side toward the parking lot.

Rain pattered on the umbrella.

Some of it landed on Gu Yizhou’s arm.

Yan Luoxi tilted her head, glanced over, and leaned closer to Gu Yizhou.

Blushing, she linked her arm with Gu Yizhou’s.

’The umbrella is a bit small.’

’If we’re closer, then neither of us will get wet!’

She wasn’t overthinking it at that moment; she was simply concerned for Gu Yizhou.

’What if he gets wet and catches a cold?’

Hmm?

Noticing this, Gu Yizhou was a little surprised.

After they started dating, he was discovering more and more that Yan Luoxi wasn’t quite what he’d expected.

When she was with him, this icy CEO of his completely lost her cold demeanor!

Instead, he was getting an increasingly familiar feeling from her.

’Where is this feeling of intimacy coming from?’

It wasn’t far from the restaurant entrance to the parking spot.

Gu Yizhou still hadn’t figured it out.

The two of them had already reached the car.

Gu Yizhou first opened the passenger-side door and let Yan Luoxi get in.

Only then did he walk around to the driver’s side, open the door, and sit down.

He closed the umbrella.

After getting into the car, Gu Yizhou noticed that Yan Luoxi seemed to be in a daze.

Instead of starting the car right away, he called out to her.

"What’s wrong?"

"Is something on your mind?"

Gu Yizhou was also a little confused. Yan Luoxi had been fine just a moment ago, so why had she suddenly gone quiet?

"Huh?"

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s voice, Yan Luoxi snapped back to her senses.

She looked at Gu Yizhou with a blank expression.

"What’s the matter?"

"Are you not feeling well?"

Gu Yizhou asked with concern.

"No, no..."

Yan Luoxi shook her head gently. "Let’s head back to the company."

"Oh, okay."

Gu Yizhou nodded and smiled. He suddenly leaned over, moving closer to Yan Luoxi.

Yan Luoxi’s head whipped around!

Gu Yizhou was already very close.

She could even smell the faint scent of his body wash.

’It’s the scent of the body wash from home.’

’This jerk!’

’What do you think you’re doing!’

’It might be raining, but this is a parking lot!’

’People could still show up!’

’If you really want to do something... go find a private place first!’

’What if someone sees us here?!’

Yan Luoxi’s mind was in a jumble.

Her fair, slender fingers clutched the hem of her clothes...

Seeing Gu Yizhou get closer and closer...

...Yan Luoxi’s breath nearly stopped.

This...

’Is he... is he going to kiss me?’

’My breath doesn’t smell, does it?’

’How am I supposed to react?’

’Should I close my eyes?’

’Should I open my mouth?’

...
