Chapter 350: Yan Luoxi’s Sweet Nothings

Twelve o’clock noon, sharp.

Gu Yizhou stood up right on time, ready to head down to the parking garage to meet Yan Luoxi.

Seeing this, He Mingyi, who was nearby, couldn’t help but tease, “Brother Zhou, off to have lunch with your girlfriend again?”

“That’s right!”

Gu Yizhou glanced at him and replied.

With that, he turned and walked straight out of the office.

Although they had spoken quietly, someone nearby still overheard them.

After Gu Yizhou left, someone curiously sidled over. “Old He, what were you and Yizhou just talking about? Something about a girlfriend?”

“Er…”

He Mingyi froze for a moment.

‘I can’t believe they heard me. I was being so careful.’

After finding out Gu Yizhou’s background was anything but ordinary, how could He Mingyi dare to gossip about him!

‘What if Gu Yizhou doesn’t want to make this public? If I run my mouth and he finds out, he’ll be pissed at me. Then what?’

‘I’m still counting on riding his coattails!’

So, there was no way He Mingyi was going to say anything!

“Huh?”

“What girlfriend?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

He Mingyi said evasively, trying to laugh it off.

“Hmm?”

“Didn’t you just say Yizhou has a girlfriend?”

the person asked, a little suspicious.

“Hey, I never said that!”

“Don’t go spreading rumors!”

Hearing this, He Mingyi grew agitated and said hurriedly, “How would I know if Brother Zhou has a girlfriend or not!”

“Uh…”

Seeing his sudden agitation, the person who asked was taken aback.

With all the commotion, everyone in the office had heard.

‘Gu Yizhou has a girlfriend?’

Everyone was a little surprised.

Especially Song Sisi, who was sitting not far away. When she heard this, the movement of her hands suddenly froze.

…

「Tidal Group Underground Parking Garage」

Seeing that Yan Luoxi hadn’t come down yet, Gu Yizhou went and pulled the car up next to the elevator entrance.

This way, when Yan Luoxi came down in a moment, she could get right in the car and they could leave.

As it turned out, Yan Luoxi didn’t keep Gu Yizhou waiting for long.

Two and a half minutes later,

she emerged from the president’s exclusive elevator.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Gu Yizhou’s car parked nearby.

She hurried over with small, quick steps.

Yan Luoxi opened the passenger door and got in.

“Sorry, have you been waiting long?”

Yan Luoxi tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, turning to Gu Yizhou with an apologetic look.

“Not at all. I just got down here myself.”

Gu Yizhou said with a small smile.

Suddenly, he noticed a file folder in Yan Luoxi’s hand.

“Project documents?”

He glanced at the label on the folder, then looked up at Yan Luoxi and asked.

Yan Luoxi nodded and said softly, “Yeah. I’m a bit unsure about these documents. After lunch, let’s find a place so you can help me look them over and see if there are any issues.”

“Sure!”

Gu Yizhou nodded. “The documents can wait. Let’s go eat first. What are you in the mood for today?”

“You decide.”

Yan Luoxi said.

After she spoke, she seemed to feel her tone was off and quickly added in a softer voice, “As long as I’m eating with you, I’m happy with anything.”

“Er…”

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but give her a surprised look.

‘Look at that!’

‘Who said she was cold and aloof?’

‘She’s actually quite the flirt!’

Gu Yizhou smiled faintly. “Alright, let’s get going then. It wouldn’t be good if someone came and saw us.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Yan Luoxi nodded obediently.

Where was the cold, icy CEO now?

She was the very picture of a gentle, cute, and obedient girlfriend!

* * *

Twenty minutes later.

The two arrived at a very famous French restaurant downtown.

That’s right!

After leaving the parking garage, Gu Yizhou had been thinking. He and Yan Luoxi had eaten together many times, but it was always at casual roadside stalls.

He had never taken her out for a proper meal at a high-end restaurant, so today, Gu Yizhou decided to do just that for lunch.

Of course, given Yan Luoxi’s status, she wouldn’t have lacked for such experiences growing up.

But!

her not lacking them was her business. Gu Yizhou felt that now that she was with him, he had to show his commitment!

As soon as the two arrived at the restaurant entrance, a waiter came forward to greet them respectfully.

“Sir, Madam, this way, please!”

The waiter gestured politely for them to follow.

Gu Yizhou nodded slightly, then turned to Yan Luoxi and said, “Luoxi, let’s go.”

“Mm.”

Yan Luoxi hummed softly in agreement and walked inside alongside Gu Yizhou.

「Inside the Restaurant」

The two found a table by the window and sat down.

The view from this spot was excellent; through the window, they could clearly see the comings and goings of people on the street outside.

“Sir, Madam, hello. Here is our menu. Please take a look.”

The waiter said respectfully, handing the menus to them.

Gu Yizhou didn’t take a menu right away. Instead, he turned to Yan Luoxi with a smile and said, “Luoxi, see what you’d like to eat. Order whatever you want. Your boyfriend’s paying today!”

Yan Luoxi was overjoyed to hear the words “your boyfriend’s paying.”

It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford to pay herself.

But having her boyfriend pay was something completely different!

“Okay.”

Yan Luoxi nodded with a sweet smile.

She then took the menu and began to study it seriously.

As she read, she used a pen to check off the dishes she wanted to eat.

Soon, she handed the menu to Gu Yizhou. “I’ve chosen. See what you want, and we can add to it?”

Gu Yizhou didn’t take the menu, smiling faintly instead. “I’ll like whatever you picked. You can just order for us.”

“Okay.”

Yan Luoxi nodded and took the menu back again.

Then, she handed her menu to the waiter and said, “Just these, please. Thank you.”

“Of course, Madam. Please wait a moment. Your dishes will be served shortly.”

the waiter said respectfully, taking the menu.

After speaking, he turned and left.

Watching the waiter’s retreating back, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but turn to Gu Yizhou with curiosity. “The service at this restaurant is quite good. Have you been here with other people before?”

“No.”

Gu Yizhou shook his head slightly. “This is my first time here, too. With you.”

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words made Yan Luoxi even happier!

“Oh, I see.”

Yan Luoxi nodded lightly and turned to look out the window again, a sweet feeling blooming in her heart.

Just then, Gu Yizhou suddenly called her name. “Luoxi.”

“Hm?”

Yan Luoxi turned to look at him.

She saw Gu Yizhou looking at her with a serious expression. “There’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”
