Chapter 314: That Damn Man Knows? Yan Luoxi Panicked

Chapter 314: Chapter 314: That Damn Man Knows? Yan Luoxi Panicked

At that moment, Gu Yizhou sat back down at his desk.

He Mingyi immediately leaned in. "Brother Zhou, where have you been going for lunch lately? You disappear the second it hits noon. I haven’t even had a chance to ask you to grab a bite."

"Oh, I’ve had lunch plans with someone lately."

Gu Yizhou replied casually.

"You’ve had lunch plans with someone?"

He Mingyi sniffed around Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou recoiled in disgust. "What the hell? What are you doing, dude? That’s seriously gross. Let me tell you, I’m not into guys!"

But He Mingyi ignored his comment, saying excitedly, "Besides pickled peppers and fish fillets, I can also smell a very faint, light fragrance of orchids!"

"That kind of fragrance is usually only worn by women."

"A woman... having lunch with you..."

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Then he lowered his voice. "Brother Zhou, the one who took you to lunch... was it President Yan?"

The other colleagues around them didn’t hear.

"?"

Gu Yizhou froze for a second, then said with exasperation, "What are you, a bloodhound?"

’He could smell that?’

’He Mingyi could actually figure it out just from the smell!’

’Unbelievable!’

He Mingyi waved his hand. "That’s not important!"

"So... Brother Zhou, you and President Yan, are you two... together?"

He leaned close to Gu Yizhou’s ear and whispered.

"Hm?"

Gu Yizhou turned his head to glance at him, slightly surprised.

’How is this guy so sure that I’m with Yan Luoxi?’

"Yeah, I did have lunch with President Yan."

Gu Yizhou said nonchalantly.

"Whoa~"

He Mingyi’s eyes lit up!

He lowered his voice and said excitedly, "So, Brother Zhou, that means you and President Yan... you’re really together?"

He then looked at Gu Yizhou expectantly, ready for the juicy gossip.

Gu Yizhou shot him a sidelong glance and said coolly, "Mind your own business!"

He Mingyi: "...-_-||"

Seeing that Gu Yizhou wasn’t talking, He Mingyi could only sit back down at his desk sheepishly.

Suddenly, Gu Yizhou remembered something.

The scent of orchids...

’That’s right!’

’Now that He Mingyi mentioned it, I feel like there’s something strangely familiar about Yan Luoxi.’

’Why does she feel so familiar?’

’Could we have met before, maybe when we were kids?’

’No, that can’t be right.’

Gu Yizhou rubbed his chin, unable to figure it out.

After a moment’s hesitation, he picked up his phone and sent Yan Luoxi a message: "President Yan, can I ask you a question?"

Soon, Yan Luoxi replied: "What is it? Go ahead and ask."

Seeing her reply, Gu Yizhou mulled it over, then typed, "President Yan, have we met before?"

"???"

In the top-floor office, Yan Luoxi stared blankly at the message from Gu Yizhou.

’Have we met before?’

’What does this guy mean by that?’

She was a bit baffled.

For a moment, she couldn’t figure out why Gu Yizhou would ask such a thing.

Just as she was pondering, another message from him arrived.

The message from that darn man read: "I don’t know why, President Yan, but you feel strangely familiar. I was wondering if we might have met before, maybe when we were kids, haha..."

"Uh... (⊙o⊙)..."

’A strange sense of familiarity?’

Seeing Gu Yizhou’s message, Yan Luoxi’s heart skipped a beat!

’Could it be that because I’m always with this guy when I’m a cat, he finds me familiar when I’m human?’

’This...’

’This guy is way too perceptive!’

A million thoughts raced through Yan Luoxi’s mind.

’No!’

’I can’t tell him that I’m Xiaobai yet.’

’I have to get this idea out of his head.’

Yan Luoxi thought for a moment, then bit her lip and typed a reply: "I don’t think so. I studied abroad since I was young, so we probably have never met."

On the other end, Gu Yizhou frowned slightly after reading her reply.

’That makes sense, I guess.’

’I must be overthinking things.’

Shaking his head, he let the matter drop.

’But since she has time to reply, she must not be too busy right now.’

Suddenly, he remembered how the office had been buzzing again this morning about the analyst behind Yan Luoxi.

On top of that, there was the old rumor about Yan Luoxi being in love with her secret analyst.

He was a little curious.

So he sent another message: "By the way, I heard there’s a mysterious analyst in the company. Who is that?"

Seeing this message from Gu Yizhou, Yan Luoxi froze.

’Why is he suddenly asking about this?’

’He can’t still have the wrong idea, can he?’

’You fool, that person is you!’

’The mysterious analyst is you!’

Yan Luoxi bit her rosy lips and replied, "I really have nothing to do with that person."

’You fool.’

’Don’t get the wrong idea!’

?

Gu Yizhou was a bit lost after seeing her reply.

’I know that!’

’Yan Luoxi already explained it once.’

’And I didn’t doubt her.’

’I’m just curious, so I wanted to ask who the person is, that’s all.’

"I was just curious who this person is. If it’s not convenient to say, then forget it."

Gu Yizhou sent the message.

’This...’

Reading Gu Yizhou’s message, Yan Luoxi grew even more nervous.

’He must be suspicious!’

’Why else would he suddenly be pushing the issue?’

After a moment’s hesitation, Yan Luoxi replied with a blush, "I really won’t have anything to do with him. Trust me, you... are more important."

She had agonized over the wording.

Originally, she had wanted to just tell Gu Yizhou, "I don’t like him, I like you."

’Might as well just confess and get it over with!’

’That would solve the whole problem right there.’

She had the guts to type it out.

But she didn’t have the guts to hit send.

In the end, she sent a very subtle reply.

’You’re more important!’

’Get it?’

She was just one step away from blurting out her true feelings.

After Gu Yizhou read the message, his expression grew even more peculiar.

’I know Yan Luoxi likes me.’

’But...’

’That’s not what I was asking about!’

After a moment of thought, Gu Yizhou replied: "No, President Yan, I’m really not overthinking things. I’m just curious, who is this person? Is it inconvenient to say?"

’I really just wanted to know who this person is!’

’I didn’t mean anything else by it!’

After seeing the message, Yan Luoxi immediately called her assistant, Bai Jie, into the office.

She asked, "Were there any new rumors in the company this morning?"

’Did another one of those loose-lipped directors start spreading rumors again?!’

’I haven’t even dealt with them for the last time, and they’re at it again?!’

"Huh?"

Her assistant, Bai Jie, was also very confused.

She thought for a moment and said, "No, the directors have been pretty well-behaved this time. They wouldn’t dare gossip about what you said in the meeting this morning, and I haven’t heard any rumors spreading."
