Chapter 315: Chapter 315: The Future Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Meet Again

"Nothing? Really?"

Yan Luoxi furrowed her pretty brows and asked, "What about among the company employees? Any strange rumors?"

Her young assistant, Bai Jie, said with great certainty, "No, none at all."

"Any rumors involving you would definitely spread like wildfire."

"I haven’t heard a whisper about anything so far, so there’s definitely no problem."

The President’s Office wasn’t just responsible for Yan Luoxi’s daily work and personal life.

It also had people placed in every department.

If there were any major developments,

it was impossible for the President’s Office not to know.

Yan Luoxi nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. You may leave now."

"Understood."

Her young assistant, Bai Jie, turned and left.

Yan Luoxi picked up her phone again. Hesitating for a moment, she blushed as she sent a message to Gu Yizhou: "If you care about this, I’ll be more careful."

’Anything Gu Yizhou didn’t like,’

’she wouldn’t do.’

Of course,

’she still couldn’t change back from her cat form right now.’

’So, she could only tell Gu Yizhou that she’d be more careful.’

’That damned man.’

’Don’t get the wrong idea!’

’She was really worried!’

After reading the message, Gu Yizhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He had waited a while, originally thinking Yan Luoxi had gone to discuss with that analyst whether she could reveal their identity.

But as it turned out,

the two of them were still not on the same page.

Gu Yizhou’s interest was piqued, so he decided to tease her, sending a message: "President Yan, say no more. I understand everything."

The moment he sent that message,

the image of a sulking boyfriend who didn’t dare voice his jealousy instantly came to mind.

Gu Yizhou smiled and thought to himself.

’President Yan must be panicking a little right now, right?’

And at that moment...

CLATTER!

Yan Luoxi’s phone fell onto her desk!

She wasn’t just panicking a little; she was an absolute mess!

’Gu Yizhou really misunderstood.’

She didn’t realize Gu Yizhou was teasing her and took it seriously!

’What do I do?!’

’How am I supposed to explain this?!’

After hesitating for a few seconds,

Yan Luoxi picked up her phone and typed a line in the chat box: "I really have nothing to do with him. The person I like is you!"

’No!’

Yan Luoxi quickly deleted the message!

She still didn’t have the courage to confess to Gu Yizhou.

"Don’t worry, I can let you see my chat history."

After a moment’s hesitation, she still didn’t send the message.

’That won’t work either!’

It wasn’t that she minded Gu Yizhou seeing her chat history.

After all, she really hadn’t had any inappropriate chats with other men.

Besides,

’isn’t checking chat histories something people only do when they’re dating?’

If Gu Yizhou wanted to look, not only would she not mind, she’d even be a little happy!

’But that still won’t work!’

’If I suddenly show this blind trust in that damned man, he’ll definitely get suspicious!’

’That guy is impossibly shrewd!’

’He’s incredibly sharp!’

Racking her brains,

Yan Luoxi suddenly had an idea and sent Gu Yizhou a message: "This analyst... is actually a woman. Her identity is quite special, and I’ve signed a confidentiality agreement with her, so I can’t tell you for now. Sorry!"

’I’m sorry!’

’Sorry to do this to you, you damned man!’

’I have no choice!’

’It’s your fault for pressing me so hard!’

...

BZZZT—

Gu Yizhou’s phone vibrated.

He turned to grab his phone, sensing that Gu Xiaozhou was a little cold.

After reading Yan Luoxi’s message,

a smile suddenly appeared on Gu Yizhou’s lips!

’A woman?’

’The mysterious analyst behind Yan Luoxi is actually a woman?’

Gu Yizhou clutched his phone, his smile growing wider and wider!

’Even though I couldn’t find out who this person is...’

’it seems I got an answer that makes me even happier!’

Moreover,

Gu Yizhou suddenly felt that this explained a lot of things.

And since Yan Luoxi said she had signed a confidentiality agreement, he couldn’t make things difficult for her.

He thought for a moment and replied: "Oh, I see. Understood."

*Phew...*

Gu Yizhou’s message made Yan Luoxi breathe a sigh of relief. She had almost blown her cover just now. Luckily, she’d thought on her feet and made up an excuse. Although the reason was a bit of a stretch, that damned man probably wouldn’t suspect anything.

Lightly biting her lip, she picked up her phone and replied: "Thank you for understanding."

After sending the message, Yan Luoxi’s mood calmed down a little.

She suddenly recalled her panic from just a moment ago and couldn’t help but feel annoyed with herself. ’How could I be so flustered?’

’That damned man just asked a few more questions, right?’

’Was there any need to get so nervous?’

’But, thankfully, the problem is solved.’

...

At that moment, Gu Yizhou’s phone vibrated again.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Yan Luoxi.

"Thank you for understanding."

Gu Yizhou looked at the message, the smile on his lips deepening.

He suddenly felt that this woman, Yan Luoxi, was really cute.

Although she seemed domineering at times, she was actually very easy to embarrass and quick to get nervous.

This cute contrast only made Gu Yizhou more interested in her.

He thought for a moment, then sent another message: "President Yan, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me anytime. I’ll do my best to help you. Also, don’t worry, I won’t overthink it."

After sending the message, Gu Yizhou’s mood also lightened.

He felt that the relationship between him and Yan Luoxi seemed to be quietly changing.

This change felt novel and filled him with anticipation.

As for Yan Luoxi, if she knew what Gu Yizhou was thinking right now, she would probably be so scared she’d drop her phone on the floor again.

*Don’t worry, I won’t overthink it...*

After reading Gu Yizhou’s message, Yan Luoxi couldn’t shake the feeling that the second half of that jerk’s sentence had a hidden meaning.

’Could it be that damned man already knows I like him?’

Yan Luoxi’s heart instantly sped up, her mind racing with all sorts of thoughts. ’Has Gu Yizhou really noticed my feelings? Otherwise, why would he say something like, "Don’t worry, I won’t overthink it"?’

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down...

On Gu Yizhou’s end, seeing that Yan Luoxi hadn’t replied, he just assumed she was busy and didn’t pay it any mind.

He casually set his phone aside and opened up the stock market interface to check on the market.

Gu Yizhou had basically finished his work for the day that morning, so he wasn’t in a hurry.

Looking at stocks, browsing novels, and slacking off, the afternoon passed quickly.

「At six in the evening, on the dot.」

Gu Yizhou grabbed his backpack and left his workstation right on time.

He couldn’t help it.

He had finished his work long ago. After slacking off all afternoon, he’d been itching to leave.

Just as he got down to the company’s underground parking garage...

「Binjiang No.1 Mansion District, downstairs from Building 7, Unit 2.」

Yan Luoxi, who had just finished up at the company and rushed back, once again ran into Gu Yizhou’s mom, Chen Dongmei...
