Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Screwed! The CEO Just Busted Me for Flirting in the Breakroom

SLAM!

Only after hearing the door slam shut did Yan Luoxi open her eyes.

Glancing toward the bedroom door, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but pout.

’Stupid man.’

’Since you didn’t bother me this morning, I’ll torture you a little less when we get to the office.’

’Hmph!’

Yan Luoxi thought to herself.

After resting for a little while longer.

She felt it was almost time for her to change back into her human form.

So, she reluctantly crawled out from under the covers.

After hopping off the bed, she walked straight out of the room.

She planned to go back to 306 next door and wait.

She was on her period and was afraid that if she changed back and started bleeding here, in the stupid man’s place, she’d have to deal with it.

That would be too much trouble.

...

The weather wasn’t great today.

It was drizzling outside, and the wind was quite strong.

However, it didn’t really matter.

Because Gu Yizhou had driven home yesterday.

So it didn’t affect him.

The only thing was a bit of traffic on the road due to the morning rush hour.

It wasn’t too bad, though.

At 8:50 AM.

Gu Yizhou arrived at the company.

As soon as he entered the Finance Department, he saw there were only a few people in the office.

They had probably all woken up late because of the weather.

Gu Yizhou put down his backpack, turned on his computer, then picked up his mug and went to the breakroom to get some water.

Although there was free bottled mineral water, drinking some plain hot water would be more comfortable in this weather.

There were, however, quite a few people in the breakroom.

"It’s so cold today!"

"Yeah, the weather was pretty nice yesterday, and now it’s cold again."

"I know, right? And it’s drizzling today. I nearly froze to death when I left the house!"

"The subway was so crowded today, I was nearly crushed to death!"

"Sigh, I’m so jealous of you guys who get to drive!"

...

Since it wasn’t time to start work yet, the women in the breakroom were casually chatting about the day.

"Hey, Yizhou, morning!"

...

Seeing Gu Yizhou, many of the women greeted him with a smile.

Because of the rumors that had spread about him and CEO Yan Luoxi last time, basically everyone in the entire company knew who he was now.

The young women, in particular, all knew there was an incredibly handsome guy in the Finance Department.

They had also found out that his relationship with CEO Yan Luoxi wasn’t what they thought.

This made quite a few of the single women in the company start to get ideas.

"Morning~"

Gu Yizhou smiled and greeted everyone in return.

After a bit of small talk.

The women went back to gossiping about the entertainment industry.

Who was cheating on who, who just had a baby.

Basically, they chatted about all sorts of random things.

They say three women are enough for a drama, and the ancients weren’t wrong.

"Oh, by the way, Yizhou, do you have a favorite celebrity?"

someone asked.

"Huh?"

Caught off guard by the sudden question, Gu Yizhou froze for a second.

"Well... I don’t really have one. I don’t usually pay attention to that stuff, and I don’t follow celebrities."

"Heh heh..."

Gu Yizhou shook his head and laughed a little awkwardly.

"Oh, I see!"

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s answer, the women weren’t disappointed.

After all, it was pretty normal for guys not to pay attention to these things.

"Hey, have you all seen *Guan Mountain One Thought*?"

"The male lead is just way too ugly!"

"It was supposed to be a good show, but the male lead ruined it, turning it into a total mess."

"Totally! I saw tons of people online flaming the male lead. His looks really aren’t up to par!"

"I heard the male lead used to be some kind of internet celebrity?"

"I don’t know what the show’s director was thinking, casting someone like him as the male lead. He doesn’t fit the original novel’s description of the character at all!"

"But Liu Sisi really lives up to her reputation as one of the former ’Four Dan Actresses.’ Her acting is really good."

...

The group of women chattered on.

Gu Yizhou listened. ’Wait... why does this sound so familiar?’

’Oh!’

’That’s right!’

’The last time he was in the breakroom, he’d also heard women from other departments talking about this show.’

Gu Yizhou shook his head helplessly.

’In this day and age, very few guys watch TV dramas, right?’

’As expected.’

’TV shows these days are really propped up entirely by female viewers in this country!’

He thought to himself.

Just as Gu Yizhou was thinking this, he suddenly heard someone say, "I think if Yizhou played the male lead, the ratings would probably explode!"

Instantly, everyone couldn’t help but turn their eyes to Gu Yizhou.

"Totally!"

"I think with Yizhou’s looks, it’s a real shame he’s not in the entertainment industry!"

"None of those so-called ’little fresh meat’ idols who are popular right now can compare to Yizhou’s looks."

"Yeah!"

"If Yizhou starred in this show, even the female lead, Liu Sisi, would probably fall in love with him!"

"Hahaha..."

...

The group of women couldn’t help but start teasing him.

This made Gu Yizhou’s face flush slightly.

’These women!’

’They’ll really say anything!’

’Why isn’t this water boiling yet?!’

At this point, Gu Yizhou just wanted to grab his water and run.

Every time he came here, he got teased a little.

Gu Yizhou was about to go numb from it all!

"By the way!"

"Yizhou, I heard you don’t have a girlfriend, is that right?"

"What kind of girls do you like?"

"What do you think of Liu Sisi’s looks?"

"Do you like her type?"

someone suddenly asked.

"Uh...(⊙o⊙)..."

Gu Yizhou was stunned.

’How am I supposed to answer that?’

’If I say I don’t, would you even believe me?’

’But if I say I do, how embarrassing would that be!’

But to be fair.

Liu Sisi was indeed excellent. Both her acting and her looks were outstanding.

But!

Gu Yizhou didn’t really have any feelings about celebrities.

They weren’t his kind of people.

He didn’t like to pass judgment on them.

But looking at the woman’s intense gaze, it seemed like she wouldn’t let him go until he gave her an answer.

Gu Yizhou had no choice but to say, "Anyone who can be a celebrity must have unquestionable looks, right?"

As for whether he *liked* her, Gu Yizhou didn’t answer.

Before anyone could react, he continued, "Well, my water’s ready. I’m gonna go make my tea. You guys chat!"

After saying that, Gu Yizhou grabbed his mug and made a run for it.

’Damn it!’

’This group of women is kind of terrifying!’

He felt that if he didn’t leave right then, he wouldn’t be able to get away at all.

They were too talkative and way too gossipy!

...

Gu Yizhou had fled.

What he didn’t notice was that, at that moment, someone was standing around the corner from the breakroom, watching him with a frown.

And who else could it be but the CEO, Yan Luoxi!

That’s right!

Yan Luoxi had also arrived at the company by now.

For some reason, she had changed back a little earlier than usual today.

She didn’t know if it was because she was on her period.

Not long after Gu Yizhou left, just after she’d returned to 306 next door, she had changed right back into her human form.

After changing back.

She quickly washed up and left the apartment as well.

When she got to the company, she didn’t go straight to the CEO’s office.

Instead, she came to the Finance Department looking for Gu Yizhou, wanting to ask him to get breakfast together.

But as it happened, she overheard what Gu Yizhou said...
