Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Yan Luoxi: I’m Becoming More and More Attached to That Jerk

’That jerk...’

’He didn’t just go and... take care of himself, did he?’

’According to that girl Roy, guys all like to use their hands...’

An image of that jerk already formed in Yan Luoxi’s mind.

"Xiaobai, it’s getting late. Come on, let’s go to sleep together!"

Gu Yizhou took off his loungewear jacket, slipped under the covers, and spoke.

Yan Luoxi was still eyeing Gu Yizhou suspiciously when he suddenly pulled her into his arms.

"Meow~!"

A suffocating feeling washed over her, and Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but let out a cry of alarm.

Hearing the sound, Gu Yizhou loosened his grip.

"Alright, pre-sleep cuddles are over."

"Time for bed!"

he said with a smile, then reached out and switched off the bedroom light.

CLICK.

The bedroom was instantly plunged into darkness.

Yan Luoxi struggled to poke her little head out from under the covers.

"Meow~"

’Jerk.’

’Are you trying to suffocate me?!’

In the darkness, Yan Luoxi meowed at Gu Yizhou, cursing him under her breath.

Gu Yizhou reached out and stroked her little head.

With his eyes closed, he said softly, "Xiaobai, stop meowing. Go to sleep. Be good~"

"Meow~"

Hearing the jerk’s gentle tone, Yan Luoxi’s meow instantly softened.

’Seems like the jerk really is tired.’

Yan Luoxi pouted her little mouth, but her heart softened in the end.

’Oh, whatever.’

’I won’t bother you anymore.’

’Just get to sleep.’

’Good night~’

’My jerk.’

「The next day, at 8:30 in the morning.」

Yan Luoxi was curled up in a blanket on the sofa, watching the jerk pack his things.

Looking at the scene before her,

Yan Luoxi suddenly had the illusion of being a newlywed wife sitting on the sofa, watching her husband leave for work.

A moment later, after packing his tablet, charger, and other items, Gu Yizhou was ready to leave with his bag.

"Xiaobai, Daddy’s going to work for a bit today. I’ll be back to play with you this afternoon."

Gu Yizhou said with a smile to the little cat before he left.

Hearing that he was about to leave, Yan Luoxi snapped back to her senses.

"Meow~"

She meowed at Gu Yizhou in response.

Seeing Xiaobai meow at him, the smile on Gu Yizhou’s face grew even wider.

"Oh, right!"

He suddenly remembered something and spoke again. "Xiaobai, you have to be good while you’re home alone, okay? No sneaking out. Otherwise, Daddy will block up your cat door next time and never let you out again!"

"Do you hear me?"

"Meeeoow~"

’Jerk. I won’t. You go to the company first. I’ll be there in a little bit. I won’t run off,’ Yan Luoxi thought to herself.

"Mm..."

Seeing the kitten meow again, Gu Yizhou nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, Daddy’s leaving now. Bye-bye, wuli Xiaobai."

With that, he picked up his backpack and walked out the door.

THUD.

Watching the door close, Yan Luoxi reluctantly tore her gaze away.

She suddenly realized she was becoming more and more inseparable from Gu Yizhou.

She wanted to see him every second of every day.

Even though he was such a jerk sometimes and always bullied her, she was already starting to miss him the moment they were apart.

Fortunately, it was already around 8:40 in the morning.

It wouldn’t be long before she changed from a cat back into a human.

Yan Luoxi wished she could turn back into a human right this second and immediately go to the company to meet her jerk.

... ℯℯ𝑙.

「About twenty minutes later.」

「In the adjacent room, 306.」

The flawless, fair-skinned, and utterly perfect body of a woman appeared on the two-meter-wide bed.

Yan Luoxi sat up in bed, completely unconcerned about her perfect figure being exposed to the air.

The heat was on in the room, so there was no need to worry about catching a cold.

She shook her head lightly, dispelling the dizziness that came from changing back from a cat into a human.

After recovering for a moment, Yan Luoxi got up to get dressed.

She didn’t want to make Gu Yizhou wait for her at the company for too long.

...

「A dozen or so minutes later.」

After quickly washing up, Yan Luoxi was about to grab her phone, wallet, keys, and other things to head out.

RING-RING-RING—RING-RING-RING—

Just then, her phone’s ringtone went off.

Yan Luoxi froze for a second.

She put down the bag in her hand, pulled out her phone, and glanced at it.

’Uh...’

’A call from the jerk?’

Yes.

Her phone screen showed an incoming WeChat video call from Gu Yizhou.

Here’s what happened.

When Gu Yizhou got to the company, he found that besides a young woman on duty at the front desk, there was no one else around.

The top-floor executive offices were behind a security gate.

On a normal day, with security on duty, you could get in with a corporate employee card.

But today was the weekend.

There was no security guard on duty upstairs, so you needed Yan Luoxi’s approval to get through.

The last time, Yan Luoxi had given advance notice, which was why Gu Yizhou was able to go straight in.

This time, however, either Yan Luoxi had forgotten to give notice or something else had happened.

There was no access record for Gu Yizhou today, so the receptionist naturally couldn’t let him pass.

During non-business hours on the weekend, no one was allowed in without the approval of President Yan Luoxi.

Gu Yizhou waited at the front desk for a long time.

But Yan Luoxi never arrived.

So, he had no choice.

He had to give Yan Luoxi a video call and have her speak directly to the receptionist to let him go up first.

Of course, Yan Luoxi knew none of this.

On her end of the line, she stared at her phone screen, her heart suddenly starting to race.

’Why would that jerk suddenly video call me?’

She was completely bewildered.

After a moment’s thought, she rushed to the full-length mirror in her bedroom to check her appearance. Once she confirmed that she looked presentable, she finally answered the video call.

The moment the video call connected,

Gu Yizhou’s handsome face instantly appeared in Yan Luoxi’s line of sight.

’You have to understand, video calls don’t have beauty effects or filters!’

’To be honest, that jerk’s looks were seriously top-tier!’

’He was countless times more handsome than those so-called idols and "little fresh meat" celebrities on TV.’

’That was why so many company scouts and paparazzi had wanted to photograph him after he went viral for his singing.’

’With looks and talent like that, he was the type who would absolutely skyrocket to the top the moment he debuted!’

’It was a surefire bet, a deal with no downsides. How could anyone in the entertainment industry possibly let that go?!’

’That’s why things got so crazy back then.’

’But... thankfully, the jerk stayed true to himself and didn’t agree.’

’Otherwise, the entertainment industry was such a cesspool, and Yan Luoxi was afraid Gu Yizhou would be led astray.’

"President Yan, President Yan..."

Just as Yan Luoxi’s mind was wandering,

Gu Yizhou, on the other end of the video call, had already called her name countless times.

Seeing her staring blankly without moving, anyone who didn’t know better would have thought her internet was lagging!

"Huh?"

Snapping back to reality, Yan Luoxi looked at Gu Yizhou in a daze. "My internet was lagging just now. What’s up? What did you just say?"

Gu Yizhou: "Uh... (⊙o⊙)..."
