Chapter 239: Lunch with That Damn Man! Yan Luoxi’s Test?

Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Lunch with That Damn Man! Yan Luoxi’s Test?

At 11:55 AM.

Yan Luoxi sent Gu Yizhou a message.

They had agreed to have lunch together.

After receiving the message, Gu Yizhou didn’t dare make Yan Luoxi wait too long, so he got up, pretended to go to the bathroom, and slipped away.

This left He Mingyi, who for the first time ever had planned to treat him to lunch and suck up to him a bit, searching all over for him.

When he arrived at the underground parking garage.

Gu Yizhou found Yan Luoxi already waiting for him by his Mercedes G-Wagen.

’Alright.’

’Another day of being the chauffeur.’

Gu Yizhou felt a little resigned, but there was nothing he could do about it.

So he could only console himself, ’On account of this woman being so good-looking, I’ll forgive her!’

Yan Luoxi had been looking at her phone. The moment she looked up and saw Gu Yizhou, a flash of joy appeared in her eyes, but she quickly hid it.

"President Yan, sorry to keep you waiting."

Gu Yizhou said as he walked up to her.

Yan Luoxi replied in a perfectly calm tone, "Mm... I just got here myself. Let’s get in."

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou didn’t say anything else. He just took out his car keys, unlocked the doors, and got into the driver’s seat.

He turned his head and saw that Yan Luoxi was still standing in the same spot, staring straight at him.

’Uh...’

’What’s with this woman?’

’Why isn’t she getting in the car?’

’Don’t tell me she wants me to act like those "little princesses" from my past life on Earth and say, "Your Highness, please enter the carriage!"’

’And only then will she deign to get in?’

Gu Yizhou was speechless as he ranted internally.

He found the whole "Princess, please get in the car" trend from his past life’s internet to be completely idiotic.

’Princess, please get on the bus? In a second, I’ll give you a big slap in the face!’

’These internet celebrities are always stirring up pointless nonsense, trying to create antagonism between men and women.’

’Don’t they just have too much time on their hands!’

As Gu Yizhou was lost in thought, Yan Luoxi saw him ignoring her pointed gaze, looking completely indifferent, and she became furious.

’Hey!’

’You stupid man!’

’I’m your president, for crying out loud!’

’Not to mention I’m a woman! Can’t you show a little chivalry and open the door for me?’

she thought angrily.

If Gu Yizhou knew what Yan Luoxi was thinking right now,

he wouldn’t have given her the time of day.

’Tsk~’

’An other-world version of a "little princess"?’

’Isn’t she just crazy!’

’Get in or don’t! I’m not going to sit here and wait!’

’As if I’m going to spoil you!’

Seeing that Gu Yizhou really had no intention of opening the car door for her, Yan Luoxi could only clench her delicate fists in anger before obediently opening the door and getting in herself.

The Mercedes G-Wagen’s chassis was a bit high. Luckily, Yan Luoxi wasn’t short, or it would have been a little embarrassing!

Seeing her get in the car, Gu Yizhou finally asked, "President Yan, what are we eating today?"

’Eat shit!’

Yan Luoxi really wanted to snap back with that.

But on second thought, if she said that, wouldn’t she have to eat it too?

So she forced herself to hold it back.

But she was still angry.

"Whatever."

Yan Luoxi said in a cold tone.

Gu Yizhou: "?"

He was a little confused.

’Seriously?’

’What’s with this woman all of a sudden?’

’Why is she so pissed off?’

’I don’t think I did anything to provoke her, did I?’

’Could it be she’s on her period and her hormones are out of whack?’

For a moment, a million thoughts ran through Gu Yizhou’s mind.

When Yan Luoxi saw that Gu Yizhou had gone quiet, she thought maybe her attitude just now had been too harsh and had made him angry.

Now it was her turn to panic.

After a moment’s thought, she quickly said, "Let’s just get something light, like yesterday."

Gu Yizhou: "???"

’She’s fine again?’

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou shot her another confused look.

’Man, her mood really does change faster than you can flip through a book!’

’No wonder the ancients all said that.’

But what could Gu Yizhou say?

He could only nod and reply, "Okay, let’s have Cantonese food today, then. Cantonese cuisine is relatively light."

When Yan Luoxi heard Gu Yizhou speak, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Honestly, she really had been afraid that she’d made him angry.

So she gave a slight nod and said, "Okay, you decide."

But the moment the words left her mouth, she instantly regretted them.

’That sounds weird.’

It couldn’t help but remind her of when she was a cat and Gu Yizhou was her owner...

Gu Yizhou, however, didn’t think much of it.

Seeing that Yan Luoxi agreed, he started the car and they left.

As they reached the parking garage exit, Gu Yizhou glanced over and suddenly noticed that Yan Luoxi had forgotten her seatbelt.

So he stopped the car, turned to her, and said, "President Yan, um... please put on your seatbelt."

"Ah?"

"Oh, oh."

Yan Luoxi then realized she’d forgotten to buckle up.

So she reached out and pulled on the belt, preparing to buckle it.

But she tugged a few times, and the seatbelt wouldn’t move.

She tugged a few more times, but the seatbelt seemed to be defying her, still refusing to budge.

"..."

The situation became awkward.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou had no choice but to say, "This car has that problem sometimes. Uh... President Yan, let me help you."

Without waiting for Yan Luoxi to respond, he leaned over and pulled the seatbelt out.

The position brought them extremely close.

Yan Luoxi could even clearly smell Gu Yizhou’s scent.

’It’s fragrant... and quite nice.’

WHOOSH—a blush flashed across Yan Luoxi’s face.

Her traitorous heart couldn’t help but start to race, THUMP-THUMP~.

Gu Yizhou, on the other hand, wasn’t thinking anything of it.

CLICK. He buckled the seatbelt for Yan Luoxi.

Then he pulled back to his own seat.

"There you go, President Yan,"

Gu Yizhou said.

"Thank you."

Yan Luoxi forced herself to control her emotions, trying her best to keep her voice steady.

"No problem."

Gu Yizhou didn’t mind. He waved his hand and said casually, "Alright then... let’s get going."

With that, he stepped on the gas.

"VROOM~!!!"

The car’s engine roared to life, and the vehicle sped out of the parking garage.

Twenty-some minutes later.

In a Cantonese restaurant named Cuiming Pavilion in Modu Center.

After asking about Yan Luoxi’s preferences, Gu Yizhou ordered four dishes and a soup.

Gu Yizhou had been to this restaurant before. It cost about three hundred yuan per person, so it wasn’t too expensive, and the food was quite authentic.

The owner was said to be from Guangdong Province.

There were only the two of them in the private room.

While waiting for their food,

the atmosphere was strangely awkward.

To ease the tension and awkwardness, Yan Luoxi tentatively asked, "Um... I heard a celebrity named Liu Sisi got into some trouble today. Do you know about it?"

She was asking this because she wanted to know if Gu Yizhou was upset about it.

’If he is!’

’Then I’m going to be jealous again!’

’That’s right!’

’I am jealous!’

’Who told that stupid man to call that woman good-looking!’

If she weren’t jealous, she wouldn’t have been so unreasonable as to have someone inexplicably go and beat up that celebrity.

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou, who was sipping his tea, froze for a moment when he heard Yan Luoxi’s words.
