Chapter 271: Chapter 271: You’re Taking Me, the Female President of a 100-Billion-Dollar Group, to Eat Snail Noodles?

"Get out!"

Yan Luoxi looked at her "good bestie" with a blank expression and spoke coldly.

"You got it~"

Roy nodded awkwardly, then quickly made her escape.

She was afraid that if she stayed a second longer, Yan Luoxi would want to "silence her for good."

SLAM!

Watching the office door get slammed shut, Yan Luoxi finally withdrew her gaze, her expression still blank.

Shaking her head, she picked up her phone from the desk, opened WeChat, found that dog man’s profile picture, and sent him a message.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ—

Gu Yizhou, who had just finished up his work, heard his phone start to vibrate.

He picked up his phone, glanced at it, and saw a message from President Yan Luoxi.

President Yan Luoxi: "It’s about time. Let’s go get lunch. I’ll be waiting for you in the parking garage."

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou froze for a moment after reading the message.

If Yan Luoxi hadn’t messaged him, he almost would have forgotten all about it.

After a moment’s thought, he replied to Yan Luoxi: "Got it."

Then he gathered his things and got up, ready to head downstairs.

Seeing him get up to leave, He Mingyi, who was nearby, called out to him, "Brother Zhou, where are you off to? Let’s grab lunch together in a bit!"

"Can’t, I have plans with someone today. You guys go ahead!"

Gu Yizhou said, waving his hand dismissively.

With that, he walked straight toward the elevators.

"Uh..."

He Mingyi watched him leave, a thoughtful expression on his face.

...

When Gu Yizhou got downstairs, he didn’t see President Yan Luoxi.

He was just about to send her a message.

Suddenly, a car horn honked not far away.

He turned his head and saw Yan Luoxi sitting in the car, waving at him.

Gu Yizhou nodded, casually shoved his phone back into his pocket, and walked over.

...

When he reached the car, Gu Yizhou noticed that Yan Luoxi was sitting in the passenger seat.

"You drive."

Yan Luoxi said.

"Okay."

Gu Yizhou nodded.

He opened the driver’s side door and got in.

After getting in the car, Gu Yizhou turned to look at Yan Luoxi and asked, "President Yan, what would you like to eat today?"

"I’m fine with anything. You decide," Yan Luoxi said.

’What we eat isn’t important. What’s important is who I’m eating with.’

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment and said, "How about luosifen? Can you handle that, President Yan?"

"Luosifen?"

Yan Luoxi paused.

"Yeah!"

"It smells a little stinky, but it tastes delicious," Gu Yizhou explained.

’I’ve been eating too many fancy meals lately.’ He hadn’t had luosifen in a long time and was suddenly craving it.

Oh.

Yan Luoxi suddenly remembered.

’Was that the stuff that dog man ate at home last time, the stuff that made the whole living room stink?’

She thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, luosifen it is."

"Great."

Seeing that Yan Luoxi had agreed, Gu Yizhou nodded and started the car.

...

「About twenty minutes later.」

The car pulled into the parking lot of a food street.

After parking the car, Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi got out.

"We’re here, President Yan. This is the place."

Gu Yizhou introduced the place to Yan Luoxi, "I’ve eaten here a few times. The owner is from Guangxi, so their luosifen is pretty authentic."

Yan Luoxi glanced at the small, unassuming storefront but didn’t say much.

She nodded and followed Gu Yizhou inside.

It was a husband-and-wife-run shop, with no waiters.

When the proprietress saw them come in, she poked her head out of the service window and called out, "Just find a seat, you two. The menu’s on the wall. Take a look."

"Alright," Gu Yizhou replied.

He then looked around, found a table that seemed relatively clean, and led Yan Luoxi to sit down with him.

"President Yan, what size portion do you want?" Gu Yizhou asked Yan Luoxi.

"I’ll just have the small one," Yan Luoxi glanced at the menu on the wall and replied.

’I have a small appetite, so I should get a smaller portion. Otherwise, I won’t be able to finish it, and it’ll be a waste.’

"Okay."

Gu Yizhou nodded.

He then went up to the window and said to the proprietress inside, "Ma’am, one small luosifen and one large luosifen, please. And we’ll also have two pig’s trotters, two fried eggs, and two duck feet."

"You got it~"

The proprietress replied with a smile.

"Oh, right, Ma’am, just mild spice for both bowls, please," Gu Yizhou added after a moment’s thought.

"Okay, just a moment," the proprietress said with a nod.

...

While the two were waiting, Yan Luoxi’s phone buzzed.

It was a message from her mother.

She opened it and glanced at the message. The content was simple: a reminder to bring that dog man home within the next half month.

Seeing this message, Yan Luoxi’s mood instantly soured.

Just as Yan Luoxi was lost in thought, suddenly, a bottle of soy milk was placed in front of her.

She looked up and saw Gu Yizhou holding out the soy milk to her.

’That dog man’s hands... are so nice to look at!’

Yan Luoxi’s beautiful eyes stared, a little fixated.

On top of that, seeing Gu Yizhou up close... her traitorous heart began to beat faster.

...

After two seconds, Yan Luoxi finally came to her senses, averted her gaze, and looked at the soy milk with some surprise.

’Wasn’t that dog man just sitting right in front of me? How did he get this in the blink of an eye?’

"Soy milk. It’ll help with the spice when we eat the noodles!"

After speaking, Gu Yizhou thought for a moment, then added, "President Yan, you don’t look too well. Is something wrong at the company?"

"Hm?"

Yan Luoxi paused, a warm feeling spreading through her chest.

’That dog man... actually noticed I was in a bad mood?’

Yan Luoxi reached out, took the soy milk, and said softly, "Thank you."

She stared at a sign on the nearby wall, not daring to look Gu Yizhou in the eye for a moment.

’If my face gets too red, that dog man will figure out what I’m thinking.’

Gu Yizhou didn’t think much of it, only that Yan Luoxi’s side profile was very pretty.

He sat down, opened his drink, and downed half the bottle in one go.

Yan Luoxi also picked up her soy milk and took a sip.

It was a little sweet, with a fragrance kind of like milk powder.

Yan Luoxi’s mood instantly brightened.

She liked it.

...

About a minute later, the shop door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a man in a black jacket walked in.

The man’s skin was a bit dark!

He was the owner of the shop.

He’d met Gu Yizhou a few times and could be considered an acquaintance.

"Yo, handsome, you’re back?" the shop owner greeted Gu Yizhou with a smile and his characteristic accent.

"Yep," Gu Yizhou nodded with a smile. "It’s been a while since I’ve had luosifen. Got a sudden craving today, so here I am."

"Welcome!"

The shop owner said with a laugh, then carried his ingredients into the kitchen.

He put his things down first, then glanced outside and suddenly caught sight of Yan Luoxi’s face.

Instantly, he got excited.

He called out to Gu Yizhou, "Yo, you lucky bastard, you’re doing alright for yourself! This your wife? She’s gorgeous! Like one of those big stars on TV!"
