Chapter 302: Yan Luoxi’s Voluntary Confession? Sudden Tacit Understanding

Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Yan Luoxi’s Voluntary Confession? Sudden Tacit Understanding

A female employee from the President’s office sidled up to Bai Jie and whispered, "Sister Bai, did President Yan change her clothes just to go out for lunch?"

"Don’t tell me this is a real date?"

"Could the rumors be true?"

Upon hearing this, her assistant, Bai Jie, glanced at her and frowned. "Have you already forgotten what happened this morning?!"

"President Yan might just be meeting an important client. Don’t spread baseless rumors like this in the future, unless you don’t want your job anymore!"

The female employee was startled by Bai Jie’s words and quickly said, "Sister Bai, don’t be mad. I know, I won’t say anything to anyone else. I was just a little curious."

Bai Jie sounded a little helpless. "I’m not mad. I just hope there’ll be fewer of these rumors. It’s all just wild guessing. If you really make President Yan angry, none of you will get away with it!"

...

「Two and a half minutes later.」

Yan Luoxi took the elevator to the underground parking garage.

Gu Yizhou was already waiting for her at his parking spot.

Just as Yan Luoxi was about to walk over, something suddenly occurred to her. She turned around, walked back to her Ferrari, and sent Gu Yizhou a WeChat message.

Gu Yizhou had already seen Yan Luoxi, but when he saw her suddenly walk away, he was utterly confused.

’What does that mean?’

BZZ BZZ BZZ—

Just then, he received a WeChat message from Yan Luoxi.

President Yan Luoxi: "Let’s take our own cars today."

"?"

Gu Yizhou was even more bewildered after reading the message.

But then he suddenly remembered the rumor from this morning.

’Could it be that Yan Luoxi really likes someone, and now she’s trying to avoid suspicion?’

Gu Yizhou’s mind raced with possibilities for a moment.

But he didn’t really think much of it. ’If she wants to avoid suspicion, so be it. After all, we’re friends at most right now.’

Shaking his head, Gu Yizhou replied to Yan Luoxi on WeChat: "Okay, I’ll send you the restaurant’s location."

So, Gu Yizhou sent the location of the restaurant they were going to via WeChat.

After sending the location, Gu Yizhou started his car and left the parking garage first.

After receiving and checking the location from Gu Yizhou, Yan Luoxi started her flashy red Ferrari and followed him out of the parking garage.

While waiting at a red light, she saw Gu Yizhou’s car.

The two of them, one car in front of the other, drove for twenty minutes and arrived at a restaurant specializing in Beijing roast duck.

The restaurant wasn’t small, and the decor was quite nice.

Gu Yizhou parked his car, got out, and saw Yan Luoxi’s car, which was stopped and inching forward slowly.

Her driving skills were average.

Good enough for normal driving on the road.

But when it came to narrow spaces that required a precise sense of the car’s dimensions...

She struggled a bit.

Many people had come for roast duck at lunchtime, and cars filled the parking spots in front of the restaurant.

There was a parking spot not too far away.

However, two cars were parked crookedly, partially blocking the way.

She remained where she was, looking a little hesitant.

Gu Yizhou shook his head. He couldn’t just stand by and watch, so he walked over and tapped on her window.

Yan Luoxi rolled down the window, looking a bit embarrassed. "Just a minute."

"Mastering driving skills takes more time than a lunch break," Gu Yizhou said. "Want me to park it for you?"

"Okay."

Yan Luoxi’s face flushed slightly, but she didn’t try to act tough.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou stepped back, ready for Yan Luoxi to open the door and get out.

But Yan Luoxi didn’t get out. She simply unbuckled her seatbelt, climbed over into the passenger seat, and then looked at Gu Yizhou.

"Uh..."

A strange look crossed Gu Yizhou’s face.

’That posture, that movement...’

’Is this how a normal person thinks?’

’Instead of opening the door and getting out, she climbs over to the next seat?’

And!

For some reason...

Gu Yizhou felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in her movement.

"What’s wrong?"

Yan Luoxi asked when she saw Gu Yizhou wasn’t getting in.

Gu Yizhou snapped out of it and shook his head. "Nothing."

With that, Gu Yizhou got in the car, turned the steering wheel, stepped on the gas, and pulled into the spot.

Even though the space was very narrow, it was no challenge for Gu Yizhou.

「Less than a minute later.」

The car was parked perfectly.

A flash of admiration crossed Yan Luoxi’s pretty face.

But she quickly hid the expression.

"You’re a pretty good driver."

Yan Luoxi praised him calmly.

Gu Yizhou smiled and said, "Your driving skills are on par with my mom’s."

The windows were closed, and the soundproofing was very good.

Gu Yizhou’s voice sounded exceptionally clear.

Yan Luoxi only glanced at him before turning to open her door.

’This damn man’s smile is so handsome!’

’His voice sounds so good too!’

Yan Luoxi actually wanted to stay in the car alone with Gu Yizhou for a little longer.

But she felt like she couldn’t handle it today.

She wouldn’t be able to keep her composure.

She could handle three sentences at most.

After three sentences, she probably wouldn’t be able to hide the blush on her face.

In her human state, whenever she got within a meter of Gu Yizhou, her heart would go wild!

Gu Yizhou opened his door too.

The two of them got out together.

As they entered the restaurant, Gu Yizhou scanned the room.

It was packed!

The din of conversation was loud.

A waitress came over and asked, "Table for two?"

"Yes."

Gu Yizhou nodded.

"We have a table by the window over there, is that okay?" the young waitress asked them.

Gu Yizhou looked at Yan Luoxi. "President Yan, are you okay with this kind of environment?"

"It’s fine."

Yan Luoxi nodded.

She didn’t actually like noisy environments very much.

But!

As long as she was with Gu Yizhou...

She could accept any environment.

Besides, this restaurant was only a little noisy.

The place looked clean enough.

Gu Yizhou nodded, then led her to the table and they sat down.

The young waitress brought over the menus.

"President Yan, would you like to order?" Gu Yizhou asked.

"You order. I don’t really know about these things," Yan Luoxi said softly.

"Okay."

Gu Yizhou was already used to Yan Luoxi letting him take the lead.

So he said to the young waitress, "Hello, we’ll have one roast duck, please have it carved before bringing it out. And we’ll also have a serving of pancakes and a slow-cooked duck bone soup."

"You got it."

The waitress took the menus and turned to leave.

Gu Yizhou said, "This place is famous for its roast duck, but the slow-cooked duck bone soup is also quite good. President Yan, you should try it later."

"Okay."

Yan Luoxi listened and nodded.

When it came to food, Gu Yizhou was the expert.

She hadn’t been very interested in food before.

But now, she quite enjoyed listening to Gu Yizhou talk to her about it.

After he finished speaking, Yan Luoxi looked up at him, a little hesitant.

Meanwhile, Gu Yizhou glanced down at his phone, thinking for a moment.

A couple of seconds passed, and then they both looked up at the same time.

"I wanted to say something."

The two of them said in unison.
