Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Yan Luoxi: I Guess I’m Stuck with This Jerk for Life

’Lady, what you just said is rather misleading!’

’I’m not admitting to anything!’

Gu Yizhou was utterly speechless.

But of course, he couldn’t say any of that out loud.

"Oh, oh."

He could only nod. "President Yan, shall we get started then?"

"Okay."

Yan Luoxi nodded.

She then sent him the project materials she had prepared earlier.

Once Gu Yizhou received the files, he got to work.

’Can’t be helped!’

’Just another grueling day of overtime.’

...

Once Gu Yizhou started working, he became incredibly focused, completely undisturbed by the outside world.

This gave Yan Luoxi the perfect opportunity to sneak a few more glances at that damn man.

Time always flew by when they were working.

In the blink of an eye, it was lunchtime again.

Without Gu Yizhou needing to say a word, Yan Luoxi took the initiative to stop him the moment the clock struck noon.

"It’s about time."

Yan Luoxi walked over to Gu Yizhou’s side, tapped gently on his desk, and said, "Let’s go get lunch first. You can continue this afternoon."

"Alright."

Gu Yizhou looked up at Yan Luoxi and nodded without hesitation.

Lately, the two of them had been eating together often.

The initial awkwardness between them had long since vanished.

They had both gotten used to it.

Gu Yizhou had also come to realize that his boss was actually a woman who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

She was actually a very nice person.

Gu Yizhou quickly saved the analysis report he was halfway through. He then got up, put on his jacket, and the two of them walked downstairs side-by-side in perfect sync.

They took the president’s exclusive elevator down to the parking garage.

Today, like usual, they took Gu Yizhou’s Mercedes G-Wagon.

Ever since Gu Yizhou got a car, Yan Luoxi had stopped driving to lunch.

This made Gu Yizhou suspect that the only reason this woman gave him the car was so he could be her chauffeur!

However!

That was really just something Gu Yizhou would joke about.

In truth, Yan Luoxi wanted to take advantage of him for more than just being her driver. After all, the company already provided her with an exclusive chauffeur.

When it came to driving skills, Gu Yizhou naturally couldn’t compare to a professional.

But...

Aside from some major events, Yan Luoxi didn’t like using a chauffeur at other times.

She preferred to drive herself.

But things were different now. Now that she had that damn man, she liked riding in the car he drove.

Every time she was in a car driven by that damn man, she would feel completely relaxed, filled with an inexplicable sense of security.

’Maybe it’s not for any other reason. Maybe it’s just because the person driving is Gu Yizhou!’

Yan Luoxi thought to herself as she watched Gu Yizhou steer with one hand on the wheel.

Although the temperature wasn’t high today, the weather was still quite nice.

At least it wasn’t windy, raining, or snowing.

The ground was dry. Listening to the music playing in the car and stealing glances at that damn man’s profile, Yan Luoxi felt utterly content.

Or rather, she felt that her life right now was very secure and blissful.

’Damn man.’

’Do you know?’

’When I’m with you, even an ordinary afternoon or the simplest meal can become something that makes me incredibly happy!’

’As long as you’re by my side, that’s all that matters.’

...

Just as Yan Luoxi was lost in thought...

The car slowly came to a stop at a red light.

Gu Yizhou had actually noticed Yan Luoxi sneaking glances at him just now, but he didn’t say anything.

Because while Yan Luoxi was sneaking glances at him, he was sneaking glances at her, too.

’That makes us even.’

"President Yan, you have a hair on the corner of your mouth."

Gu Yizhou suddenly turned to Yan Luoxi and said.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi subconsciously reached up to touch her face.

But in doing so, she accidentally smudged half of the tiny hair strand into her mouth.

Yan Luoxi wanted to use a mirror to pull it out, but she felt that such an action would be a bit ungraceful.

Just as she was hesitating...

Gu Yizhou suddenly leaned over, his hand reaching for her mouth.

Feeling that damn man’s fingers brush against her lips...

Yan Luoxi’s breath hitched.

’Damn man!’

’What are you doing?!’

In the instant that Yan Luoxi’s eyes widened, Gu Yizhou pinched the strand of hair at the corner of her mouth and gently pulled it away.

It was a broken strand. Gu Yizhou opened the car window and casually tossed it outside.

After he was done, he turned to glance at Yan Luoxi and said nonchalantly, "There."

Yan Luoxi: "..."

At that moment, she was speechless.

’Damn man.’

’How dare you?!’

Seeing the faint blush that crept onto Yan Luoxi’s otherwise expressionless little face...

Gu Yizhou found it rather amusing.

He even felt a slight urge to pinch her cheek.

’This side of Yan Luoxi is actually pretty fun.’

’Looks like I can tease her like this more often in the future.’

"Thank you."

After holding it in for a long while, Yan Luoxi finally managed to say with a deadpan expression.

"It’s nothing."

Gu Yizhou waved his hand and casually replied, "Just doing my duty!"

After he spoke...

The light happened to turn green.

Gu Yizhou continued driving.

But his comment about it being his "duty" made Yan Luoxi’s face turn an even deeper shade of red.

Afraid Gu Yizhou would notice, she let her hair fall over her shoulders and turned her head to look out the window.

At that moment, Yan Luoxi felt her face was so hot, she could probably cook an egg on it.

However!

She didn’t dislike the feeling of Gu Yizhou’s fingers touching her face just now.

After all, at home, Gu Yizhou already petted her a dozen times a day.

He was going to pet her little head until it was polished smooth.

What’s more, that damn man had even touched the dark circles under her eyes this morning!

You could say that damn man had already touched her all over.

But Yan Luoxi also felt a little nervous.

’Did Gu Yizhou like that kind of contact just now?’

’My face, did it feel good to the touch?’

’When I’m a cat versus when I’m me, which touch does that damn man prefer?’

Her mind began to wander. Leaning against the car window, she surprisingly started to feel a little drowsy.

’I’m done for.’

’It’s not just when I’m a cat that I like sleeping next to Gu Yizhou.’

’I’ve turned back into a person...’

’And I still like to curl up and sleep next to him.’

’I’ve really fallen into this damn man’s hands for life.’

’What should I do?’

’Should I take a little nap?’

’But that doesn’t seem quite right, does it?’

Yan Luoxi hesitated internally.

’Sigh~’

’I knew I shouldn’t have suggested that damn man go to this farm resort.’

That’s right.

Today’s lunch spot was Yan Luoxi’s choice.

It was an eco-resort farm, quite a distance from the Modu City District.

The drive was about forty minutes.

The reason she had chosen such a distant place was simply to spend a little more time with that damn man.

As for working overtime, that was never really the point.

Just then...

Gu Yizhou noticed that Yan Luoxi seemed a bit drowsy.

So he asked, "President Yan, are you sleepy?"

"Uh..."

Caught being sleepy by that damn man, Yan Luoxi first froze in embarrassment.

Then, a little sheepishly, she said in a small voice, "Yeah... I think it’s because I woke up too early today and didn’t get enough sleep."
