Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Yan Luoxi is getting more and more clingy

When Chen Dongmei heard this, her jaw went slightly slack. For a moment, she was at a complete loss for words.

Her son had suddenly become a multi-millionaire. The shock was, to put it mildly, immense for Chen Dongmei!

"Son, be honest with me. There’s nothing wrong with this money, is there?"

After a long silence, Chen Dongmei asked, her tone somewhat serious.

’After all, how long had her son even been working!’

To suddenly earn so much money... she was worried her son might have accidentally gone down the wrong path.

Of course, it wasn’t that she didn’t trust her son. It was just that as a mother, it was only natural for her to worry.

After all, what mother in the world doesn’t want the best for her child?

"Uh..."

Hearing his mom’s words, Gu Yizhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

But he could understand where his mom was coming from.

Earning so much money in such a short time really was a bit incredible.

’After all, it’s not like I had much capital to begin with!’

"Don’t worry, Mom!"

"I earned all this money from my own investments. It’s completely clean," Gu Yizhou said.

He then gave her a rough explanation of how he had used the money for the house’s down payment to invest in the stock market and how it had multiplied many times over.

After hearing her son’s explanation, Chen Dongmei finally felt a little more at ease.

She didn’t understand finance or the stock market.

But she knew that investments were high-risk, high-reward.

Although her son made it sound simple, she knew it must have been a perilous process.

She knew that her son had always been very hardworking and driven.

Even though he had been a bit flighty in the past, he had matured a lot now.

Besides, she trusted her son’s judgment. Since he had chosen Yan Luoxi, that meant Yan Luoxi must be someone worth cherishing.

"Okay, I believe you."

Chen Dongmei nodded, then said with a smile, "But you need to keep up the effort! You can’t let a girl like that wait for you forever."

"Don’t worry, Mom!"

Gu Yizhou said with a smile, "I will!"

The two chatted for a little while longer. Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Dongmei stood up, ready to leave.

"Alright, I was just in the area, so I stopped by to check on you. Since everything’s fine, I’ll head back. If it gets any later, your father will start to worry," Chen Dongmei said.

"Alright, I’ll drive you home!"

Gu Yizhou said, getting to his feet as well.

"No need. The last bus of the night should still be running. I’ll just take that home."

Chen Dongmei said, waving her hand dismissively.

"Come on, I don’t have work tomorrow anyway. I’ll drive you."

Gu Yizhou insisted, leaving no room for argument.

Even if the bus was still running, there was no way he would let his mom go home by herself.

’It was one thing when I didn’t have a car, but now that I do, I have to drive her back!’

"Well..."

Chen Dongmei was a little exasperated.

She mainly didn’t want to make her son drive all the way there and back.

"Come on, it won’t take long at all!"

"That’s final!"

Gu Yizhou declared, putting his foot down.

With that, he also picked up the fruit he had bought that day from the table, planning to have his mom take it home with her.

’Besides, I can always buy more if I want some!’

’Mom, on the other hand, would probably never bring herself to buy things like this.’

So, he might as well send it home with her.

Watching her son, Chen Dongmei’s heart filled with warmth and pride.

She knew her son had truly grown up. He was no longer the little boy she had to constantly worry about.

He might still have his childish moments, but overall, he had become much more mature and steady.

"Alright, then. It’s just that you’ll have to make the trip there and back," Chen Dongmei said with a smile.

"Pfft, it’s nothing!" Gu Yizhou said with a laugh. "Alright, let’s get going!"

"MEOW~"

Just then, Yan Luoxi rushed over and meowed at Gu Yizhou.

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou paused, then looked down to see the cat pawing at his pant leg.

He bent down and said, "Daddy’s going to take Grandma home. You be a good girl and wait here, okay? I’ll be back in a little bit!"

"MEOW~"

’You jerk, take me with you! I want to go too!’

’I don’t want to be home by myself!’

Yan Luoxi continued to meow at Gu Yizhou.

As she meowed, she plopped down on top of his foot and refused to move.

Seeing how clingy the cat was, how could Gu Yizhou not realize she wanted to go out with him?

After a moment’s thought, he figured since he was driving anyway, he might as well. "Alright, you can come. But you can’t make a fuss in the car, you hear?"

"Otherwise, I won’t take you out with me ever again," Gu Yizhou warned.

Standing to the side, Chen Dongmei couldn’t help but be amused as she watched her son having a full-blown conversation with a cat.

But when she saw Xiaobai meow a few times in her son’s direction, as if in response, she was taken aback.

"Son, it really seems like Xiaobai can understand you!" Chen Dongmei said.

Gu Yizhou picked up the cat, then turned to his mom with a smile. "She is! This little one, Xiaobai, is incredibly smart. She can basically understand everything I say!"

"She just doesn’t want to be left at home alone!"

"She even sneaks out to play when I go to work!"

"Then she sneaks back in right before I get home. She’s a clever little rascal!"

Hearing her son’s grumbling, Chen Dongmei couldn’t help but laugh.

"Alright, then bring Xiaobai along!" Chen Dongmei said with a smile.

With that, she picked up the bag of fruit and left the apartment with Gu Yizhou.

The two went downstairs, where Gu Yizhou pulled the car keys from his pocket. He and his mom then headed toward the parking garage.

Soon, they arrived at a black Mercedes G-Wagon.

...

「11:50 PM.」

After dropping his mom off, Gu Yizhou drove back to his apartment complex alone.

After getting out of the car, he carried the cat into the elevator with him.

Once back home, he put the cat down, sent a quick text to his mom, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When he came out, he saw the cat lying on the sofa, her big eyes fixed on him.

"What’s wrong, Xiaobai? Why are you staring at Daddy like that?"

"Is it because you think Daddy’s super handsome?" Gu Yizhou asked with a grin.

Yan Luoxi: "..."

’Jerk.’

’He’s so narcissistic!’

’Handsome my a... alright, fine. I admit it, you’re handsome!’

Yan Luoxi gave a tiny, almost unnoticeable pout.

She grumbled silently to herself.

But for all her mental complaints, her body was quite honest.

Yan Luoxi leaped onto his lap and nuzzled her head against his chest.

"You’re such a clingy little thing, aren’t you?" Gu Yizhou said with a laugh.

"MEOW~"

Yan Luoxi let out a meow, thinking, ’So what if I am!’

’Isn’t it perfectly normal to be clingy with my own boyfriend?!’

’Cuddle time with my man!’

’Hmph!’
