Chapter 320: Confession, Today

Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Confession, Today

Shaking his head, Gu Yizhou turned to go back to his room, 305.

"Hm?"

He happened to see that the kitty in his arms was already awake.

"Xiaobai, you’re awake?"

He reached out to stroke the cat’s back, a smile on his face.

Yan Luoxi’s mind went completely numb. ’How could I possibly have the energy to deal with Gu Yizhou right now!’

’What do I do?’

’If that jerk asks me tomorrow if I live next door, how am I supposed to answer?’

’Just admit it?’

’But if I do, how do I explain this kind of behavior?’

’Or... deny it to my dying day?’

’But!’

’What if... what if that jerk finds out the truth later? Will he think I deceived him? Will he get angry?’

Yan Luoxi’s mind was a tangled mess. For a moment, she truly didn’t know what to do.

Just as she was at a loss,

Gu Yizhou saw that she was ignoring him but didn’t think much of it, assuming she was just groggy from sleep.

He turned, walked back to the door of 305, and took out his key to open it.

He first set the cat down on the floor, then changed his shoes, took off his jacket, and went into the living room.

Seeing the cat still standing dumbfounded by the door, Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but frown.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, what are you still doing over there?"

He called out to the cat, "Come on over to the sofa."

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s call, Yan Luoxi slowly raised her head and glanced at him, her expression incredibly complex.

"Come on, Xiaobai?"

Seeing the cat looking at him, Gu Yizhou beckoned. "Come on over to Daddy."

Yan Luoxi looked at Gu Yizhou, and after a moment’s hesitation, she slowly started walking toward him.

’Hm?’

Gu Yizhou watched the cat’s somewhat strange gait, feeling a bit puzzled.

Yan Luoxi had now reached Gu Yizhou. She lifted her little head to look at him, her gaze complex.

"What’s wrong, Xiaobai? Are you not feeling well somewhere?"

He crouched down and reached out, wanting to touch the base of the cat’s thigh to see if she was running a fever like last time.

His touch sent a wave of shyness through her.

But she didn’t try to dodge him.

"Huh? Your temperature seems normal. Xiaobai, what’s gotten into you today?"

Gu Yizhou looked down at the cat, a puzzled expression on his face.

"Meow~"

Seeing Gu Yizhou worry that she might be sick, Yan Luoxi let out a soft meow.

’That jerk.’

’I’m fine.’

’I don’t have a fever, and I don’t feel sick.’

’I just don’t know if I should tell you the truth tomorrow...’

Yan Luoxi was utterly conflicted. She had no idea how she was going to face Gu Yizhou at lunch tomorrow.

Just as she was thinking, Gu Yizhou picked her up.

"Xiaobai, stop being so emo. Come on, help Daddy watch the stock market."

With that, Gu Yizhou took out his tablet and started logging into his stock trading app.

Seeing this, what else could Yan Luoxi do?

She could only silently curl up on the jerk’s lap and go along with the act...

At eleven-thirty at night, Gu Yizhou got up to wash his face and brush his teeth.

「The next day, at eight in the morning.」

Yan Luoxi was lying on the sofa, watching Gu Yizhou leave.

She’d had insomnia last night.

She hadn’t slept a wink, thinking the entire night.

She’d made a decision!

She was going to confess to Gu Yizhou.

’That’s right!’

’I plan to tell him the truth directly before he even has a chance to ask me.’

’Of course.’

’I can’t tell that jerk about turning into a cat just yet.’

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Gu Yizhou, but she was afraid of scaring him.

’One step at a time.’

’First, the confession.’

’Later, after we’ve been together for a while and the time is right, I’ll find a suitable opportunity to tell Gu Yizhou that I’m the one who turns into a cat every day—that I’m his Xiaobai!’

Yan Luoxi wasn’t the type to be indecisive.

Once she truly made up her mind, she wouldn’t back down.

So!

The confession to that jerk would happen today!

...

「Nine o’clock in the morning.」

Right on time, Yan Luoxi transformed from her cat state back into the cold and elegant ice queen CEO!

Staring at her own exquisite face and stunning figure in the mirror, Yan Luoxi muttered to herself, "I’m not bad-looking. If I confess to that jerk, he’ll probably accept, right?"

"Yeah!"

"That’s right!"

"That jerk will definitely accept me!"

She clenched her small fists, silently cheering herself on.

Then, she opened her closet and started picking out what to wear today.

She was confessing to that jerk at noon today, so of course, she had to wear something nice.

Yan Luoxi carefully selected an outfit. It was a tasteful cream-white ensemble with delicate embroidered patterns, making her look fresh and refined, yet also noble and elegant. Paired with her cool expression, her smooth black hair, and her bright eyes, she exuded a unique charm.

Next, she picked up a bottle of subtle perfume and lightly spritzed her wrists and the area behind her ears. The fragrance was understated but captivating.

Looking at her reflection, Yan Luoxi took a deep breath, a determined light flashing in her eyes.

She checked her reflection again and again, and only after ensuring everything was perfect did she grab her handbag and prepare to leave.

Today, she would tell Gu Yizhou what was in her heart.

No matter the outcome, she would have no regrets.

...

「Nine-forty in the morning.」

Yan Luoxi appeared in the president’s office on the top floor of Tidal Group.

Even though she came in rather late today, no one dared to say a word against her.

It couldn’t be helped.

After all, she was the president—the big boss of the entire company.

Of course.

If Gu Yizhou were the one to call her out on it, she would find an excuse to explain herself.

It couldn’t be helped.

After all, he was the jerk Yan Luoxi had a crush on!

...

「Two and a half minutes later.」

"President Yan, this morning, Eastern Investment Group will be visiting. The investment promotion department has booked a banquet for lunch and wanted to ask if you have time..."

In front of the desk, her assistant, Bai Jie, stood before Yan Luoxi with a tablet, reporting on the morning’s important tasks.

But before she could finish, Yan Luoxi cut her off.

"I’m not free at noon."

Yan Luoxi waved a hand and said flatly, "I have something on at noon. Just have President Luo attend the luncheon in my place. Also, postpone all of my morning appointments to tomorrow. As for the afternoon, wait for my notice."

’Are you kidding me?’

’Lunch with some investors?’

’Impossible!’

’Today, I’m confessing to that jerk. Everything else has to make way for it.’

’Nothing is more important than that jerk!’

"Ah?"

Hearing Yan Luoxi’s words, her assistant Bai Jie was taken aback for a moment.

However!

After learning her lesson the last few times, Bai Jie didn’t dare to ask any more questions.

She nodded hastily. "Understood, President Yan."

"Mm."

Yan Luoxi nodded. "Assistant Bai, find a restaurant with a nice atmosphere for me. Book the entire place. I’ll need it for lunch."

"Of course, President Yan."

"I’ll arrange it for you shortly."

Bai Jie quickly jotted it down.

"Hmm..."

Yan Luoxi thought for a moment, then said to her assistant, Bai Jie, "Also, prepare a bouquet of flowers for me!"

"Right away, President Yan."

Bai Jie nodded and inquired, "What’s the occasion for the flowers?"

"They’re for a confession!"

Yan Luoxi said flatly.
