Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Yan Luoxi: I guess a dog’s brain and a human’s brain are just different

SLAM~

The car door shut.

"..."

Yan Luoxi stared blankly at the driver’s side door, completely stunned.

Watching Gu Yizhou’s back as he walked over to his car, she sighed and said, "I guess a dog’s brain just works differently from a human’s."

She couldn’t predict him.

She never could have guessed what Gu Yizhou would say!

In that kind of atmosphere!

How could that damned man say something like that with such a straight face?!

Unbelievable!

That damned man!

...

They drove back to the company in their separate cars.

Gu Yizhou arrived first. He got out of his car, but he really had to pee, so he sent Yan Luoxi a message and headed upstairs.

A little while later, Yan Luoxi arrived too. Just as she got out of her car, she happened to run into Li Ming in the parking lot, who was coming back from lunch.

Li Ming took the initiative to greet her. "President Yan, just getting back from lunch?"

Yan Luoxi nodded and started walking forward.

Getting the cold shoulder didn’t seem to faze Li Ming in the slightest.

He fell into step beside Yan Luoxi and asked, "It seems like you’ve been eating out a lot recently. Who with?"

Yan Luoxi turned her head and shot Li Ming a look.

Her beautiful, almond-shaped eyes held a frosty look.

Li Ming instantly realized his mistake and quickly apologized. "I’m sorry, President Yan. I shouldn’t have pried."

Yan Luoxi didn’t look at him again. She turned away and got into the exclusive elevator for the president.

Li Ming, meanwhile, was left standing there awkwardly, waiting for a regular elevator.

When she reached the top floor, her young assistant, Bai Jie, was already waiting at the secretary’s desk.

Upon seeing Yan Luoxi, she quickly said with respect, "President Yan, there are two documents that need your urgent attention. The client is asking for them."

"I know."

Yan Luoxi entered her office, sat back down in her chair, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

She took a sip of water, picked up her phone, and after a moment’s hesitation, sent a message to Gu Yizhou.

"I’m back in the office."

She didn’t know what the point of sending that message was.

But she just wanted Gu Yizhou to know.

Where she was.

And what she was doing.

Gu Yizhou replied, "I just got back to my desk from the bathroom too."

Yan Luoxi, wanting to find a topic to chat about, typed, "The slow-cooked duck soup was delicious."

After sending the message, she felt a flicker of anticipation.

’That idiot knows so much.’

’Would he tell me why the slow-cooked duck soup is so good?’

’Or maybe recommend another place that has good slow-cooked duck soup?’

She waited for two seconds.

Gu Yizhou’s reply came.

"I know."

Of course.

Yan Luoxi was a little annoyed.

He’d killed the conversation with a single sentence!

’Leave it to you!’

’Why can’t you just act like a normal person for once?’

Before her anger could even settle...

Gu Yizhou replied, "If you’re free next time, there’s an even better place you could try."

Yan Luoxi’s eyes instantly lit up.

Yes!

She had time!

She quickly replied, "I’m not too busy lately. I have time."

Gu Yizhou’s message came back: "Tonight, then?"

Yan Luoxi suddenly grew tense.

’Tonight won’t work.’

’How could she go?’

’Go eat roast duck with Gu Yizhou in a cat’s body?’

’Gu Yizhou wouldn’t even let her have anything with salt.’

Yan Luoxi replied, "I can’t tonight. I have to work late."

Yan Luoxi: "How about tomorrow at noon?"

Gu Yizhou: "Eating roast duck two days in a row isn’t a great idea."

Gu Yizhou: "Some other time, then."

Yan Luoxi suddenly felt a pang of worry.

’What about tomorrow?’

’Does that mean we aren’t getting roast duck?’

’Or not eating together at all?’

After a moment of hesitation,

she sent a message to Gu Yizhou: "So what are we eating tomorrow?"

’To hell with it!’

’She was laying her cards on the table!’

’She still wanted to have lunch with Gu Yizhou tomorrow!’

Gu Yizhou smiled when he saw Yan Luoxi’s message.

’Yan Luoxi still wants to eat with me.’

He was happy about that.

"I’ll think about tomorrow and let you know."

He messaged Yan Luoxi back.

’They would eat together tomorrow at noon.’

’But what they would eat was still to be decided.’

Yan Luoxi replied instantly: "Okay."

...

Meanwhile, on Gu Yizhou’s end.

After texting with Yan Luoxi on WeChat, he held his phone in one hand and tapped his fingers on the desk with the other.

’It seems President Yan Luoxi really does like me.’

’No wonder I was able to become a full-time employee ahead of schedule. And the fact that Yan Luoxi suddenly gave me a car, and even asked me to go home with her yesterday to meet her parents... it all makes sense now.’

The only thing Gu Yizhou couldn’t figure out was why Yan Luoxi would fall for him.

Honestly, his only prior interactions with her had been seeing her a few times in meetings, and back then, Yan Luoxi probably didn’t even know who he was!

Their first real interaction must have been that time he handed her a tissue.

But... she fell for him just because he gave her a tissue?

’That’s just too ridiculous!’

He shook his head.

Gu Yizhou truly couldn’t wrap his head around it, so he decided not to bother thinking about it anymore.

’In any case, one thing’s for sure: President Yan Luoxi likes me.’

’Maybe...?’

’I should agree to go to her house for dinner?’

’And then ask her to come home with me for the New Year?’

’Given the current situation,’

’if I were to bring it up, she would probably agree.’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

...

「At three in the afternoon.」

Yan Luoxi finally finished handling the urgent documents for the day.

Yan Luoxi stretched her slender, alluring waist. She casually picked up her phone from the desk to glance at it. Three o’clock. There were still over three hours until she could go home and see that damned man.

The thought of going home to see that damned man, to be able to get close to him, made Yan Luoxi feel less tired.

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—"

Just then, her young assistant, Bai Jie, suddenly knocked on the office door.

"Come in."

Yan Luoxi wiped the smile from her face and said in a calm tone.

After her young assistant, Bai Jie, came in, she spoke respectfully to Yan Luoxi. "President Yan, there’s something I need to report to you."

"Go ahead."

Yan Luoxi said casually.

"It’s like this. Just now, President Luo called the members of the Finance Department’s CFA professional investment analysis team into a conference room. He said the board of directors wanted to borrow them to analyze some project. I remembered your previous instructions, President Yan, so I came to report this to you."

Bai Jie explained.

After hearing her out, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but furrow her fine, pretty brows slightly.

She thought for a moment before asking, "What project are they analyzing? Did President Luo say?"

"Well... I’m not entirely sure, but I heard from Chairman Li’s secretary that it seems to be some kind of wine company stock."

Her young assistant, Bai Jie, said, sounding a bit uncertain.

"Button Wine Company?"

Yan Luoxi said with a frown.

"Yes, yes, yes, I think that’s the one!"

Bai Jie nodded her head eagerly.

At her words, Yan Luoxi’s expression instantly darkened.

’Still not giving up, are they?’

’It seems no one took what I said this morning to heart!’

A cold glint flashed in Yan Luoxi’s eyes!

She turned to her assistant and asked, her face devoid of expression, "Which conference room are they in right now?"

"Conference Room 305."

Bai Jie answered.

"I see."

With that, Yan Luoxi stood up and walked straight out of her office.

Seeing this, her young assistant, Bai Jie, hurried to follow...
