Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Yan Luoxi Admits Gu Yizhou Is the Scumbag

"Just got in?"

Roy asked.

"Yeah."

Yan Luoxi nodded, then said calmly, "If you have something to say, say it. I have a ton of work to do."

"Er..."

Roy was taken aback. She shook her head helplessly.

’What a cold fish!’

’I wonder if she’ll be frigid in bed, too!’

Roy silently complained.

She casually pulled out the chair opposite Yan Luoxi’s desk and plopped down into it.

She looked at Yan Luoxi, a playful glint in her eye.

"Someone came looking for you just now,"

Roy said casually.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi’s heart skipped a beat.

But she remained outwardly composed, continuing to organize the files on her desk.

When Roy saw she wasn’t responding, she continued, "Hmm... I think he’s from the Finance Department. Some guy named Gu Yizhou. Right, I saw him in your office last time. He’s pretty handsome."

At these words, Yan Luoxi’s brow furrowed slightly.

’Pretty handsome...’

’What does Roy mean by that?’

she wondered.

Because Roy had been watching her closely, she caught every subtle change in Yan Luoxi’s expression.

"Xixi, you and that jerk of yours are officially a couple now, right?"

Roy asked tentatively.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi finally looked up at Roy.

Their eyes met.

Seeing the playful glint in Roy’s eyes, Yan Luoxi knew her friend had truly figured something out.

So she nodded and said, "Yeah, we’re together."

Then she looked down again, continuing her work as if it was no big deal.

Although her expression still seemed as cold as ever, the faint blush on her face betrayed her.

Roy found her forced composure amusing.

She changed the subject. "So, that Gu Yizhou is the jerk, right?"

"Huh?"

This time, Yan Luoxi couldn’t sit still.

She snapped her head up to look at Roy, her eyes filled with shock and panic.

’So!’

’The secret’s out? That Gu Yizhou is the jerk?’

A mix of complicated emotions washed over her.

Silence...

A moment later.

Yan Luoxi asked calmly, "How did you know?"

Hearing Yan Luoxi’s question, Roy’s suspicions were finally confirmed!

’I can’t believe it!’

’That guy, Gu Yizhou, really is the jerk Yan Luoxi was talking about!’

’So that means!’

’He’s the mysterious analyst, too!’

’Unbelievable!’

’The person everyone has been desperately trying to identify was right here all along!’

’He was right under our noses the whole time, wasn’t he?’

Roy thought to herself.

Seeing her best friend Yan Luoxi staring at her, as if she wouldn’t be allowed to leave the office until she explained everything,

Roy shook her head helplessly. "Actually, I suspected something was off for a while. But Xixi, you little devil, you hid it so well! You even threw me off with that whole ’mysterious analyst’ story!"

"But! You know how it is. There are always clues! And you can’t wrap fire in paper forever!"

"Get to the point!"

Yan Luoxi looked at her best friend, Roy, and said coolly.

Roy: "..."

Roy was speechless at Yan Luoxi’s words.

’Fine, fine!’

’Seriously!’

"It was... it was that last time, when Gu Yizhou was working overtime in your office by himself over the weekend. That’s when I started to guess."

"Because when I came by, he was in your office all alone, sitting in your chair and using your computer. I asked him about it, and he said you had to leave early. That means he had your permission to sit in your chair and use your computer!"

"If it was just that, it might not have been a big deal. But the thing is, you, Yan Luoxi, are a bit of a germaphobe!"

"When would you ever be alone with a guy? Let alone let him use your computer and sit in your chair!"

"So, I felt like something was up between you two back then!"

"But at the time, I still wasn’t sure!"

"Until this morning... I accidentally overheard his phone call with you in the stairwell..."

"Your voice was so gentle, I almost couldn’t believe it was you!"

"But now that you’ve admitted it yourself, I’m sure the voice on that call was yours!"

"Who would’ve thought our resident Ice Queen CEO had such a gentle side..."

Roy said all in one breath.

After her best friend finished, Yan Luoxi fell silent...

Seeing Yan Luoxi go quiet,

Roy knew her friend was still a novice when it came to romance, so she didn’t tease her any further.

"Xixi, have you really fallen for that Gu Yizhou?"

Roy asked softly.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi frowned slightly and gave her a puzzled look.

’We’re already dating!’

’Isn’t that a stupid question?!’

"Er..."

"Xixi, that’s not what I meant. I just want to know, are you and Gu Yizhou serious?"

Roy rephrased her question.

"Yes, we’re serious."

Yan Luoxi nodded without the slightest hesitation.

"This..."

Looking at the determined glint in her best friend’s eyes, Roy knew.

This time, her best friend had truly fallen for someone, and she was serious about it!

She had never seen Yan Luoxi care so much about a guy before.

"Um... Roy..."

Yan Luoxi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Can you please not tell anyone else about me and Gu Yizhou? Especially... my parents!"

Seeing how nervous she was, Roy smiled slightly. "Don’t worry, Luoxi. I won’t go blabbing."

"But..."

She changed her tone. "If you two are really together, I still think you should go public."

"After all, you can’t wrap fire in paper. Your relationship will be discovered sooner or later."

"If it gets exposed by someone else then, it will be even more troublesome, and it could have a huge impact on the company’s market value!"

"But actually, none of that is the most important thing. What’s important is that after you go public, you two can be together openly, without having to hide."

Roy’s words made Yan Luoxi fall into deep thought.

She knew Roy had a point, but their relationship wasn’t exactly stable yet. ’Wouldn’t going public be too hasty?’

Especially with her mom—Gu Yizhou hadn’t even passed that test yet!

After all, he was on Ms. Tang’s blacklist!

"Um... I’ll think about it."

Yan Luoxi said hesitantly.

"Okay, no problem. You think it over."

Roy nodded. "But remember, don’t take too long. I have a feeling you won’t be able to hide it from Aunt Fang for much longer either!"

"Yeah, I know."

Yan Luoxi nodded.

The two chatted a little longer before Roy left the office.

Yan Luoxi sat on the sofa, lost in thought. She knew she needed to seriously consider going public with her relationship with Gu Yizhou and what their future held...
