Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Caught in the Act? Awkward! Yan Luoxi’s Shock

"Hm?"

Gu Yizhou was a bit baffled to hear that.

"Nervous?"

he asked, confused.

"Mm... I’m worried my mom will give you a hard time later."

Yan Luoxi nodded and said softly.

"Er..."

Hearing Yan Luoxi’s explanation, Gu Yizhou finally understood.

’So she’s nervous on my behalf!’

’What a silly girl!’

Gu Yizhou sat back down. He gently squeezed Yan Luoxi’s hand and said in a soft, tender voice, "You silly girl, I haven’t even started to get nervous, and you’re already anxious."

"I..."

Yan Luoxi’s face flushed slightly red.

"Alright, it’s okay. No need to be nervous."

"I believe your parents will definitely approve of us. Don’t worry."

Gu Yizhou patted the back of Yan Luoxi’s hand, comforting her.

"Mhm."

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi, though still a bit worried, nodded lightly.

’What can I do!’

’She still remembered the day her mom said she didn’t approve!’

’Besides, she and that jerk had some misunderstandings before.’

’But!’

’Last time, that jerk gave Ms. Tang a ride home in the rain. That should have improved her impression of him somewhat, right?’

Yan Luoxi thought to herself.

...

Time flew by, and soon it was 10:30 in the morning.

Under the gentle caress of Gu Yizhou’s hand, Yan Luoxi’s nervousness subsided quite a bit.

She checked the time and felt it was about time to leave.

So, she said to Gu Yizhou, "Let’s go now. We’ll get to my house right around lunchtime."

"Okay."

Gu Yizhou nodded.

Afterward, the two of them stood up. Yan Luoxi went into the break room to fix her hair and change her clothes.

’What choice did she have? That jerk’s hands were too restless; he’d wrinkled her clothes.’

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—"

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

Gu Yizhou froze for a moment.

Then, he walked to the door and opened it.

"Xixi, why is the door locked in the middle of the day..."

The moment the door opened, Roy, dressed in a provocative OL-style professional outfit, complained.

"You..."

However, she stopped mid-sentence.

Her eyes widened as she stared at Gu Yizhou, who had appeared before her.

"President Luo, hello~"

Gu Yizhou greeted her with a slight smile.

"Uh... hello."

Hearing Gu Yizhou greet her, Roy finally snapped back to reality.

’No wonder the door was locked! So the jerk was in the office too! But! In broad daylight... are those two really that desperate?’

Roy couldn’t help but roast them silently in her mind.

"Ahem~"

Seeing Roy staring blankly at his face, Gu Yizhou feigned a cough and said, "Um, President Luo, my name is Gu Yizhou. I’m an employee in the finance department, and I’m also Xixi’s boyfriend."

He had heard from Yan Luoxi that Roy already knew about their relationship, so he decided to be upfront and introduce himself.

"Uh... I know."

Roy came back to her senses. She nodded and said, "Um... where’s Xixi?"

"She’s changing her clothes,"

Gu Yizhou said.

"???"

Hearing this, Roy looked at Gu Yizhou in surprise.

’Holy crap... Did he rip her clothes off? I’ve heard of people tearing stockings, but I’ve never seen someone tear clothes! In broad daylight, are you two really playing this wild?’

Noticing Roy’s strange look, Gu Yizhou had no choice but to explain seriously, "Xixi and I are preparing to go to her home to meet her parents, so she’s changing into something a bit more formal."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Roy’s eyes widened again.

’Going to her home...? This... This is a ’meet the parents’ situation?!’

"Jerk... Yizhou, help me with the zipper on my back."

Just then, Yan Luoxi spoke as she walked out of the break room.

But when she saw Roy in the reception area, she also froze.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"Looks like I came at a bad time."

"Um... you two carry on. I’ll be leaving now. Xixi, I’ll call you later!"

With that, Roy tactfully turned and fled.

"..."

In the office, only Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi were left, staring at each other in bewilderment.

After a long moment.

Gu Yizhou was the first to react. He gave a wry smile, then walked over and zipped up the back of Yan Luoxi’s dress.

"She... She didn’t say anything to you, did she?"

Yan Luoxi asked in a low voice.

"No, I just told her I was your boyfriend,"

Gu Yizhou said, shaking his head.

"Oh, okay."

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi didn’t say anything more.

After gathering their things, Yan Luoxi first gave some instructions to her assistant, Bai Jie, before taking the exclusive president’s elevator downstairs with Gu Yizhou.

Watching the two of them leave hand-in-hand, the young assistant Bai Jie was completely stunned.

’Holy crap... This is huge! Is President Yan going to make it official?! So President Yan’s boyfriend really is that handsome guy from the finance department named Gu Yizhou!’

...

Tidal Group’s underground parking garage.

Yan Luoxi was still a little uneasy, so she had Gu Yizhou show her the gifts he had prepared.

However, seeing the exquisite Da Hong Pao tea packaging and the bird’s nest in the trunk, Yan Luoxi felt much more at ease.

Her family was wealthy, so naturally, she had seen fine things before.

With just one glance, she could immediately tell that the tea and bird’s nest Gu Yizhou had brought were no ordinary items.

Suddenly!

Her eyes widened.

She looked at Gu Yizhou in astonishment and said, "Is... is this Da Hong Pao Mother Tea?"

Yan Luoxi’s father loved tea, so their home was filled with many different kinds.

She would often discuss tea knowledge with her family.

She clearly remembered her father once saying that the best tea in the world was Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, and of all Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, the Mother Tea was the absolute finest.

This was because today, there were only six Da Hong Pao Mother Tea trees in all of Wuyi Mountain.

The annual yield was extremely scarce, amounting to less than a kilogram.

And that was only when the climate was suitable; in the face of bad weather, the yield would likely be even smaller.

Therefore, she knew from her father that Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao Mother Tea was exceptionally precious, far, far more expensive than gold.

A single gram of Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao Mother Tea was worth over one hundred thousand yuan.

It was even said to be priceless, with no market to buy it from!

And now, she saw that the tea Gu Yizhou had brought was not only Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, but it was also clearly labeled with the words "Da Hong Pao Mother Tea."

Even her own father had never been able to purchase such a rare tea; he had only ever managed to drink it once.

She still clearly remembered her father once saying that he had only tasted Da Hong Pao Mother Tea once in his entire life, and the flavor was so unforgettable that he felt his whole life had been worth it just for that single experience.

This showed just how much influence Da Hong Pao Mother Tea had.

Especially for tea lovers, its allure was infinite.

Yet here was Gu Yizhou, presenting a gift of Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao Mother Tea...
