Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Gu Yizhou: Today’s Fortune—Greatly Inauspicious

At these words, Tang Wanfang stopped beating around the bush.

She laid her cards on the table. "So, tell me. How are things with that shameful boyfriend of yours?"

The moment she heard this, Yan Luoxi understood.

’It had to be that damn girl, Roy. She must have snitched on me again. That’s why Ms. Tang came storming over.’

She shook her head, utterly speechless, then said with a deadpan expression, "We’re fine."

"Fine?"

Hearing this, Ms. Tang frowned slightly.

She looked at Yan Luoxi, her tone stern. "I heard that you and this so-called boyfriend of yours still haven’t even made things official!"

Every time she’d asked before, Yan Luoxi had just said things were "fine."

After all this time, she had assumed her daughter and that boy had made their relationship official long ago.

But she never imagined that after all this time, they weren’t even officially a couple.

And on top of that, it seemed her foolish daughter was already living with him.

’If word of this got out, how could our family show its face in public!’

That was why she had rushed over in such a hurry.

That’s right!

Exactly!

She was here to demand an explanation!

Hearing her mom’s words, Yan Luoxi was now absolutely certain her "dear best friend" Roy had tattled on her again.

A wave of irritation washed over her.

’Whose best friend is she anyway? Mine or my mom’s?’

’Seriously!’

’I don’t even want to talk anymore.’

"Say something!"

Tang Wanfang said, annoyed.

Every time they discussed this, she would get that dead-inside look on her face. Tang Wanfang was starting to get angry.

Honestly.

If Yan Luoxi had made things official with that boy, then even if she didn’t like him, she would have been merely displeased at worst. She certainly wouldn’t have tried to break them up.

But!

It had been so long, they were already living together, and they weren’t even an official couple!

What was that supposed to be?!

Friends with benefits?!

That was something she absolutely could not accept.

"I have nothing to say."

Yan Luoxi said calmly.

Tang Wanfang: ...

’Fine!’

’Just great!’

’So direct!’

’So blunt!’

’That’s my daughter, all right!’

’Yan Luoxi!’

Ms. Tang was so angry she almost had to laugh.

Even though she knew her daughter’s personality inside and out, moments like this still infuriated her to no end.

"I can’t be bothered to argue with you anymore."

"I came here today to give you an ultimatum!"

"I’m giving you two weeks. If you can’t bring that man home for me to meet within two weeks, then you can just wait for your father and me to set you up on blind dates!"

Tang Wanfang said, looking at her coldly.

With that, she stood up, grabbed her handbag, and walked out without a backward glance.

This time, she was truly angry.

’Living with a man without any official status or commitment... what kind of behavior is that!?’

’In any case!’

’This time, she wouldn’t let Yan Luoxi be so reckless anymore.’

Yan Luoxi: ...

Staring at her mother’s retreating back as she stormed off, she was at a loss for words.

Knowing her mother, Yan Luoxi could tell she was genuinely furious this time.

The problem was, she couldn’t exactly explain the "cohabitation" situation to her mother.

After all, besides her, no one knew that she could turn into a cat.

Telling her parents would probably give the old couple a heart attack.

So it was something she could never tell them.

There was no way to explain it.

Still, she wasn’t angry with Ms. Tang.

She knew her mother was only trying to do what was best for her.

After all, what parent in the world doesn’t love their child?

Yan Luoxi knew very well what kind of people her parents were.

However!

But as for bringing that damn man home to meet her parents within two weeks... Yan Luoxi had absolutely no confidence she could pull it off!

Even though her relationship with that damn man was progressing better and better.

But!

Two weeks!

She really couldn’t guarantee she could break through and become an official couple with him within two weeks.

*Sigh...*

Yan Luoxi sighed in frustration, her heart heavy with anxiety.

Out of agitation, she unconsciously picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and glanced at that damn man’s profile picture.

...

「Afternoon, 6:00 PM sharp.」

Uneventfully, another day’s work was over.

’Shut down the computer!’

’Another day’s pay earned.’

’This must be what it means to live an ordinary life.’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself as he pressed the power button on his computer.

’Yes.’

’Even though days like this were always busy, he had to admit they were fulfilling.’

This sense of peaceful fulfillment was something Gu Yizhou had never experienced in his previous life.

After tidying up his desk, Gu Yizhou slung on his backpack, grabbed his tablet, and headed out.

Seeing this, Song Sisi, who was nearby, hurried to catch up.

"Brother Yizhou~"

she called out softly.

"Hmm?"

Hearing her voice, Gu Yizhou paused.

"What’s up, Sisi?"

he asked with a small smile.

"Oh, nothing. It’s just, I actually managed to get off work on time for once, and I was wondering if I could walk out with you, Brother Yizhou. Is that okay?"

Song Sisi said with a sweet smile.

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou was taken aback for a moment.

Then he smiled. "Of course."

"Since you said that, Brother Yizhou... could I trouble you to give me a ride home?"

*Hee hee hee...*

Song Sisi asked, her eyes crinkling into a smile.

At her words, Gu Yizhou shook his head in resignation.

’So that’s what she was waiting for!’

"Oh, you..."

he said with a sigh.

"Please, please? It’s so hard to get a cab at this hour! Brother Yizhou, be a dear and just give me a lift!"

Song Sisi said, tugging on Gu Yizhou’s arm and putting on a pitiful expression as she wheedled him.

"Er..."

Feeling the soft, ample pressure against his arm...

’Yep.’

’No wonder my horoscope for today said... extremely unlucky!’

Gu Yizhou thought with a sense of resignation.

But she’d laid it on so thick, what else could he say?

"Alright!"

Gu Yizhou shook his head. "Let’s go. I’ll give you a ride home!"

When Song Sisi heard Gu Yizhou agree, her big eyes instantly lit up!

"Yay~!"

"Thank you, Brother Yizhou!"

"You’re the best, Brother Yizhou!"

Song Sisi exclaimed happily, hugging Gu Yizhou’s arm.

But the more she acted like this,

...the more Gu Yizhou felt his luck for the day was taking a turn for the worse!

*Sigh...*

...

「A few minutes later, in the underground parking garage of Tidal Group.」

Song Sisi was a little confused when Gu Yizhou stopped in front of a car.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Yizhou, why are we stopping? Where’s your motorcycle?"

"It’s parked right here."

With that, Gu Yizhou took a key fob from his pocket and pressed a button.

BEEP BEEP~

The headlights of the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon in front of them flashed to life.

Seeing this, Song Sisi, who was standing beside him, was completely stunned.

Song Sisi: ...
