Chapter 339: Chapter 339: The Overbearing Jerk and His Bashful, Beautiful CEO, Go Live

「A little over ten minutes later.」

Gu Yizhou drove, and he and Yan Luoxi returned to the underground parking garage of Tidal Group.

"We’re here."

After parking the car, Gu Yizhou turned to Yan Luoxi and said softly.

"Mmm-hmm."

Yan Luoxi nodded.

’It’s just... I don’t want to go back to the office yet. I want to spend a little more time with this infuriating man.’

Yan Luoxi looked at him and said softly, "I don’t usually start work until two in the afternoon."

Gu Yizhou understood.

’She doesn’t want to leave yet.’

Gu Yizhou took out his phone and glanced at the time.

1:40.

So he said, "We still have some time. Why don’t we sit in the car and chat for a bit before heading up?"

"Mmm-hmm."

Yan Luoxi nodded without the slightest hesitation.

"Hmm... Actually, we don’t have to go back at all."

"I don’t usually have work in the afternoon," Gu Yizhou said with a smile.

"I know. You always finish your work in the morning," Yan Luoxi said with a nod.

"Oh?"

Gu Yizhou paused. "Paying that much attention to me, are you?"

After a moment’s thought, he asked with another smile, "What else do you know?"

’I even know what color your underwear is and how many abs you have.’

Yan Luoxi retorted in her head, a blush creeping up her fair cheeks.

Seeing she didn’t speak, Gu Yizhou didn’t press her, but turned to the side to grab a bottle of water and hand it to Yan Luoxi.

"Here, have some water."

"But it’s a bit cold, so don’t drink too much," Gu Yizhou said.

"Mmm, than—"

Yan Luoxi took the bottle, about to say thank you...

...when Gu Yizhou gently pinched her lips with his thumb and forefinger.

"Between us, there’s no need to be so polite," he said domineeringly.

"Er..."

Yan Luoxi was stunned.

It was the first time anyone had ever touched her lips like that.

Gu Yizhou’s hand was warm, his skin surprisingly soft.

After a few seconds, it finally registered. Her heart began to race, and she felt incredibly shy!

But she didn’t pull away.

It was a little domineering.

She actually kind of liked it when Gu Yizhou treated her this way!

"Did you hear me?"

Seeing she didn’t speak, Gu Yizhou asked again.

"..."

With her lips still being held, Yan Luoxi couldn’t speak, so she could only nod.

She looked rather obedient.

"That’s more like it."

Gu Yizhou smiled and finally let go.

Yan Luoxi’s face was flushed, and she pouted.

’Looking at Gu Yizhou’s satisfied smile, she hesitated, suddenly wanting to pounce on him and bite him.’

’But the thought was fleeting.’

’I had the desire, but not the guts.’

’Just thinking about how close I’d been to him made my breathing hitch.’

’If I pounced on him now, I’d probably just melt right into his arms.’

Of course, Gu Yizhou was oblivious to Yan Luoxi’s inner turmoil.

He suddenly remembered what Yan Luoxi had said earlier about going to her home to meet her family.

So he spoke up, "Oh, by the way, sweetheart, if I’m going to meet your parents, shouldn’t I prepare some gifts?"

"Huh?"

Yan Luoxi was so stunned by Gu Yizhou calling her ’sweetheart’ that her head spun.

’So shameless.’

’This infuriating man.’

’We’re not even married yet...’

’...and he already dares to call me his ’sweetheart’...’

’But!’

Even so, Yan Luoxi’s heart was filled with sweet delight.

If she weren’t right in front of this infuriating man, she probably would have jumped for joy!

Gu Yizhou didn’t notice her reaction and continued, "Hmm... in your circles, what do people usually give as gifts?"

Hearing the infuriating man speak again, Yan Luoxi finally came back to her senses.

At the same time, a warm feeling suddenly rose in her heart.

’So this infuriating man was actually listening carefully to what I said, and he’s really thinking about meeting my parents.’

However, Yan Luoxi had already arranged all these things.

So she said, "You don’t have to worry about it. When the time comes, I’ll prepare everything you need to bring."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but frown.

He looked at Yan Luoxi and said seriously, "If you’re going to prepare the gifts and things, then you have to tell me how much they cost. I’ll transfer the money to you."

"Huh?"

Yan Luoxi was a little confused. "Why?"

’Half of my money will be his in the future anyway!’

’Do we have to be so strict about money between us?’

For some reason,

when Gu Yizhou refused to let her spend her money,

Yan Luoxi actually felt a pang of disappointment!

Noticing the flash of disappointment in Yan Luoxi’s eyes, Gu Yizhou shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, he of course knew what Yan Luoxi was thinking.

So he reached out, took her small hand, and said, "Sweetheart, ah... hmm... this is actually a good opportunity. Let me tell you what I’m thinking."

"At the company, you’re the CEO. You’re my boss. But we’re dating now. When we’re together in private, I hope you can temporarily forget about being the CEO."

"All you need to remember is that in private, you’re my girlfriend."

"Normally when we’re out together, it doesn’t matter who pays. But! This is the first time I’m visiting your parents as your boyfriend. For the gifts and everything, that’s money I should be paying."

"Does that make sense?"

As Yan Luoxi listened intently to Gu Yizhou, the expression on her pretty face gradually softened.

She liked this new identity.

Gu Yizhou’s girlfriend.

For the first time, she felt that she could live as a woman, not a CEO.

’This infuriating man.’

’It’s so good to have you in my life.’

"Mmm... I understand."

She nodded and said softly, "I’ll do as you say."

"Alright then, I’ll have to ask my girlfriend to do a little work for me. How about you make a list of your parents’ preferences and send it to me? Then, find some time to go gift shopping with me."

Gu Yizhou reached out and gently tapped the tip of her nose, smiling.

"Mmm-hmm."

Yan Luoxi’s face turned red with shyness as she nodded.

"Oh... right!"

Gu Yizhou suddenly remembered that Yan Luoxi was going abroad this weekend and might not have time, so he said, "I almost forgot, aren’t you going abroad this weekend? Why don’t you send me your mom’s WeChat contact? I can get in touch with her and say hello."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi became flustered and quickly replied, "No! Let’s not tell her yet. I want it to be a surprise!"

’Ms. Tang is furious right now.’

’I’m worried they’ll end up fighting if Gu Yizhou contacts her.’

’Okay, fine.’

’The main thing is, I’m afraid my mom will bully Gu Yizhou and hurt his feelings.’

"Er... that’s fine too."

Gu Yizhou said, "Normally, it should be my initiative to arrange the first visit. So just let me know whenever you think the time is right."

"Okay, I got it."

Yan Luoxi nodded.

However, seeing Gu Yizhou take this matter so seriously also made her very happy.

’The more seriously he takes this, the more it proves he really cares about me...’
