Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Taking Yan Luoxi to Try New Things

However, Yan Luoxi knew she couldn’t keep Gu Yizhou waiting for too long.

She opened her laptop and started looking for a project for Gu Yizhou to analyze.

It couldn’t be helped.

After all, if you’re going to put on a show, you have to go all out!

While she was searching for a project, Gu Yizhou sat across from her with nothing to do.

He didn’t feel it was right to be on his phone again, so he could only sneak glances at Yan Luoxi from time to time.

To be honest, in his two lifetimes, Yan Luoxi was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Her cool, aloof aura, in particular, stirred an irrepressible desire in him to explore and conquer.

No wonder she was so famous in the Modu business world.

"Hmm?"

"Found one!"

Yan Luoxi had finally found a project for Gu Yizhou to analyze.

"Take a look at this..."

She looked up to speak to Gu Yizhou, only to find him staring intently at her.

Uh...

Their eyes met.

A blush instantly spread across Yan Luoxi’s delicate, beautiful face.

’This... this shameless man, why is he looking at me like that?’

Yan Luoxi felt incredibly shy.

Meanwhile, Gu Yizhou, having been caught red-handed, felt a bit awkward himself.

But he was thick-skinned enough to calmly shift his gaze away without a change in expression.

Then, he asked in a completely serious tone, "President Yan, what’s the project?"

Yan Luoxi was speechless.

Seeing Gu Yizhou’s deadpan expression as he pretended nothing had happened, the corner of Yan Luoxi’s mouth twitched.

’Shameless man, oh, shameless man.’

’Just like you!’

’Talking utter nonsense with such a straight face!’

However, she didn’t dwell on it. After composing herself, she said, "Um... it’s a project from a gaming company. They’re looking for us to invest."

"I’ll email you the details. Take a look, then prepare a risk assessment and project analysis report."

Gu Yizhou nodded and said, "Alright, President Yan. Go ahead and send it."

And just like that, they both moved past the little incident.

Yan Luoxi then sent the files over to Gu Yizhou.

After receiving the project files, Gu Yizhou quickly got into work mode.

Watching Gu Yizhou get down to work, Yan Luoxi found that this "shameless man" wasn’t shameless at all when he was focused.

His focused expression was incredibly handsome.

’No... I should say, very handsome!’

Yan Luoxi secretly sized him up.

She wasn’t as brazen as Gu Yizhou, though, only stealing occasional glances out of the corner of her eye.

After all, she was more thin-skinned than he was.

After watching him for a while, Yan Luoxi started to handle her own work.

As the president of such a large corporation, she really did have a lot to do every day.

Before she turned into a cat and met Gu Yizhou, she had almost always stayed late at the office, rarely even taking weekends off.

Otherwise, she couldn’t have grown the corporation to its current size in just a few years.

...

Time flew, and soon it was 11:50 AM.

Yan Luoxi stopped what she was doing.

She glanced at the time on her computer screen and saw that it was almost time for lunch.

Looking up, she saw that Gu Yizhou was still working diligently.

But, afraid he might be hungry, she interrupted him anyway.

Yan Luoxi said, "Um... why don’t you stop what you’re doing for now."

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou paused for a moment, looking up at Yan Luoxi.

"It’s getting late. Let’s eat first. You can continue working this afternoon," Yan Luoxi said.

"Oh, okay."

Gu Yizhou didn’t argue.

"Um... let’s go out to eat then," Yan Luoxi said.

"Okay. What would you like to eat today, President Yan?" Gu Yizhou asked, nodding.

Yan Luoxi thought for a moment and replied, "I don’t know what to eat. You decide."

"Uh... is that so?"

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, let’s go down to the car first."

’To be honest, he didn’t know what to eat either.’

’Might as well head down first and figure it out.’

’He could think about it on the elevator ride down.’

...

「In the underground parking garage.」

Gu Yizhou asked, "President Yan, should we take your car today, or...?"

"We’ll take yours," Yan Luoxi said.

"Okay!"

Gu Yizhou nodded.

He then led Yan Luoxi to his parking spot.

He walked over to the passenger side first, opened the door, and let Yan Luoxi get in.

"Thank you," Yan Luoxi said softly as she got in and buckled her seatbelt.

Gu Yizhou just smiled without saying anything.

He walked around to the driver’s side, got in, and buckled his seatbelt as well.

Only then did he turn to Yan Luoxi and ask, "President Yan, have you ever had grilled fish?"

"Grilled fish?"

Yan Luoxi paused, then shook her head slightly. "No."

"Want to try it?"

Gu Yizhou asked with a smile.

"Try it?"

"Yeah, grilled fish is pretty good. If you’ve never had it, President Yan, you should give it a try," Gu Yizhou said with a smile.

’Yan Luoxi suddenly remembered driving home late at night after working overtime and seeing people eating what looked like grilled fish at a roadside stall. Was it that kind of thing?’

’It always looked so fragrant and delicious.’

She thought for a moment and said, "Mm... I could give it a try."

"Shall we go, then?"

Gu Yizhou said with a satisfied smile.

"Okay."

Yan Luoxi nodded.

’She felt like after getting to know this shameless man, she had been exposed to and tried quite a few new things.’

...

Gu Yizhou started the car and drove toward a large shopping mall nearby.

The grilled fish restaurant was on the third floor of the mall.

After parking the car, Gu Yizhou led Yan Luoxi to the elevator, went up to the third floor, and entered the grilled fish restaurant.

"Hello, how many in your party?"

a young waitress asked as she approached them.

"Two."

Gu Yizhou looked at Yan Luoxi. "President Yan, is that spot in the back okay?"

Yan Luoxi nodded. "It’s fine."

With Yan Luoxi’s approval, Gu Yizhou turned back to the waitress. "Hi, could we have that table further inside, please?"

"Of course, sir."

The waitress then showed Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi to a table in the back.

It was quieter here, a spot where they could eat without drawing too much attention.

However, as Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi had walked through the restaurant, they had attracted quite a bit of attention.

"Those two are so good-looking."

"For a second there, I didn’t know who to be more jealous of."

"Are they celebrities? They’re way too attractive."

"I don’t know, but they can’t be ordinary people, right?"

...

Many people were murmuring amongst themselves.

Neither Gu Yizhou nor Yan Luoxi paid much mind to what people were saying as they sat down.

"Sit here, President Yan."

Gu Yizhou said, guiding Yan Luoxi to the seat that faced away from the crowd.

This was to prevent any creeps from secretly taking photos of her.

After all, you could find all sorts of people in a public place.
