Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Yan Luoxi: I’m Screwed! That Scumbag Found Out

Uh...

This time, Gu Yizhou understood the look in Yan Luoxi’s eyes.

’This... Fine!’

’Looks like Mom was right. Xiaobai really wants to go out with me.’

"Alright, Xiaobai. Daddy will take you to see Grandma off. You’d better not cause any trouble in the car, okay?"

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment before adding, "Otherwise, Daddy won’t take you with him next time he goes out!"

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi quickly meowed at him, indicating that she understood.

What else could Gu Yizhou say? He had no choice but to bend down and pick her up.

Then he locked the door and went downstairs with his mom to the car...

...

「Later that evening, at 9:30 PM.」

Gu Yizhou successfully dropped his mom back at her district and then prepared to head home with Yan Luoxi.

On the way, Yan Luoxi hadn’t caused any trouble, lying quietly in the back seat the whole time.

She had originally wanted to sit in the front passenger seat, but Gu Yizhou’s mom had taken it, so she had no choice but to go to the back.

’Can’t be helped. I can’t exactly fight my future mother-in-law for the passenger seat, can I?’

However!

The moment Chen Dongmei got out of the car, Yan Luoxi very proactively jumped into the front passenger seat.

The reason was simple.

She just wanted to be closer to that damn man.

"Xiaobai, you were very well-behaved just now. Very good, you deserve some praise!"

Gu Yizhou reached out to pet the little cat’s head and said with a smile, "Mmm... we’re going home now. Tomorrow night, Daddy will give you an extra treat. I’ll reward you with some shrimp!"

Yan Luoxi shot him a sideways glance.

’Idiot!’

’As if I need you to reward me with shrimp!’

’That damn man.’

She pouted her little mouth, grumbling silently.

Gu Yizhou noticed the cat wasn’t paying him any mind, but he didn’t care.

He started the car and drove off.

Yan Luoxi lay on the passenger seat, just as she did every afternoon.

Except now, she could stare at Gu Yizhou without restraint.

’After all, I’m just a cat right now. Even if I stare, that damn man won’t know.’

Still, she had to admit, that damn man looked incredibly handsome driving with one hand on the steering wheel.

Yan Luoxi used to scoff at the so-called fangirls in TV shows who would swoon over men.

But!

Now, she finally understood, or at least could empathize with, what those girls were thinking.

’Some people’s charm is truly irresistible!’ Yan Luoxi thought.

Of course, Gu Yizhou was oblivious to Yan Luoxi’s little thoughts. He was fully focused on driving, occasionally glancing at the night scenery outside the window.

The city’s neon lights flickered in the darkness, adding a touch of mystery and romance to the night.

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi suddenly let out a soft cry, breaking the silence in the car.

Gu Yizhou turned to look at her. He saw her staring at him with those crystal-clear eyes, which glittered like tiny stars.

He smiled faintly as a warm feeling washed over him.

"What’s wrong, Xiaobai? Are you feeling uncomfortable in the car?" he asked with concern.

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi wagged her tail, gently pawed at Gu Yizhou’s pants, then lifted her head to stare straight at him with her big, round, azure eyes.

Her stare left Gu Yizhou a bit dazed, and he couldn’t help but find it amusing.

’Is this little one trying to act cute with me?’

He kept one hand on the steering wheel, freeing the other to pet the little cat’s head. He then said with a smile, "Be good, Xiaobai. We’ll be home soon."

Yan Luoxi narrowed her eyes slightly, but she didn’t cause any more fuss.

’After all, Gu Yizhou is driving. Safety first.’

...

「Around 10:30 PM.」

Gu Yizhou returned to the Binjiang No.1 Mansion District.

After parking the car, he carried the sleeping kitty upstairs.

Looking at the cat sleeping soundly in his arms, occasionally nuzzling against him with her little head, Gu Yizhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

’What a lazy little cat!’

’Aren’t felines supposed to be nocturnal, active at night and sleeping during the day?’

’How come my little silly cat goes to bed earlier than I do every night?’

’And she’s such a heavy sleeper, too.’

Gu Yizhou shook his head helplessly.

Arriving at the door of apartment 305, Gu Yizhou took the key from his pocket and was about to open it.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glimpsed the door of 306 next door.

Gu Yizhou suddenly remembered what his mom had said earlier that evening.

Although he had told his mom it was impossible for Yan Luoxi to be living there, for some reason, Gu Yizhou had a gut feeling that the person his mom saw really could have been Yan Luoxi.

’After all, if Yan Luoxi can fall for me, then buying the apartment next door and secretly moving in is definitely something that woman would do.’

But!

Of course, it could also just be a coincidence.

’Maybe she bought the place before I even moved in.’

’And it’s possible she’d seen me around before we officially met.’

’Otherwise, why would she have suddenly and inexplicably fallen for me!’

’Also, that would explain why I’ve always felt a sense of familiarity from Yan Luoxi.’

’Perhaps we’d crossed paths in the district before, but I just didn’t recognize her because we weren’t acquainted back then.’

’Didn’t someone move in next door today?’

’Maybe... I should go over and knock. When someone opens the door, I’ll know for sure if it’s Yan Luoxi living next door.’

No sooner said than done.

Gu Yizhou turned and walked to the door of 306.

Just then, the groggy Yan Luoxi in his arms happened to wake up.

She subconsciously rubbed her eyes with her little paws, then slowly opened them.

The first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was a door.

She glanced down and saw that she was in Gu Yizhou’s arms.

’Oh!’

’Looks like we’re home,’ Yan Luoxi thought.

But seeing the damn man standing at the door, seemingly hesitating about something, made her a little confused.

’What’s wrong with him?’

’Damn man, hurry up and get the key to open the door.’

’I want to go inside and lie on the bed. Even though I like you holding me, this position is uncomfortable. You’re squeezing me too tight.’

She looked up, about to meow at Gu Yizhou to hurry him along, when suddenly!

She saw the number on the door.

3... 306???

Yan Luoxi’s eyes instantly flew wide open!

’Wait!’

’This isn’t 305, this is the door to 306?’

’No...’

’What is that damn man doing standing in front of 306?’

’Could it be...’

’He knows I’m the one living next door?!’

’Or maybe...’

’He’s discovered something?!’

Yan Luoxi’s mind was a mess.

Just then, she heard Gu Yizhou muttering to himself, "It’s almost eleven. This... it’s too late. If I’m wrong, it wouldn’t be good to disturb their rest. Forget it. I’ll just ask her myself at lunch tomorrow and see how she reacts. That’ll tell me everything."

Yan Luoxi: ?????

After hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi was absolutely certain of one thing—that damn man had already figured out she was the one living next door!
