Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Gu Yizhou: We Only Just Started Dating, and You Already Want to Break Up?

"You look pale."

"Are you not feeling well?"

Gu Yizhou looked at Yan Luoxi and said, "Is it because the food here isn’t to your liking? If so, we won’t come back next time."

"No, it has nothing to do with the food."

Yan Luoxi shook her head. "It’s getting late. Let’s go."

"Hey."

Seeing she was about to leave, Gu Yizhou quickly stopped her. "Wait a second."

Yan Luoxi’s steps faltered, and she stopped.

"Um... I ate a little too much. Let’s sit for a bit longer and digest."

Gu Yizhou said, hastily making up an excuse.

’No way.’

’The flowers I ordered haven’t arrived yet!’

’How can we leave!’

Just then, a waitress from the private kitchen walked over to them, holding a bouquet.

’Huh?’

’Wait, isn’t that what I ordered?’

Gu Yizhou was a bit surprised.

The waitress walked straight up to Yan Luoxi. "President Yan, these are the flowers you requested."

Yan Luoxi’s eyes dimmed slightly when she saw the bouquet.

"Alright, thank you."

She reached out, took the flowers, and replied casually.

"Of course. You’re welcome."

The waitress said with a small smile.

After speaking, she tactfully excused herself.

But Gu Yizhou, completely lacking any tact, remarked, "Tsk, the service at this private kitchen you picked is pretty good. They even prepare flowers for the guests."

Yan Luoxi: "..."

At this point, she didn’t even want to speak anymore.

’Damn man.’

’You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you!’

"Whoa, and they’re roses!" Gu Yizhou continued.

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi glanced down at the bouquet in her hands.

They were indeed bright red roses.

Her gaze grew even dimmer.

The roses she held felt almost mocking.

’I’ve already been rejected. What’s the use of these roses now?!’

A little angrily, she shoved the bouquet into Gu Yizhou’s arms. "Since you like them so much, you can have them!"

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou froze for a moment.

He first glanced at Yan Luoxi, who was biting her lip and clearly seemed off, then looked down at the bouquet in his own hands.

Connecting this to Yan Luoxi’s confession from earlier, he finally understood.

’So these were what Yan Luoxi prepared for me!’

’Whoa!’

’As expected of a domineering female president!’

’Even her way of giving flowers is so unique.’

Gu Yizhou shook his head.

He rubbed the tip of his nose, looked at the silent, head-bowed Yan Luoxi, and said, "The flowers are nice. In that case, I’ll gladly accept them."

Hearing this made Yan Luoxi feel even worse.

’Damn man.’

’Rejecting me is one thing!’

’But to make sarcastic remarks at a time like this!’

’You really are a dog!’

She clenched her fists, suppressing the urge to lunge forward and strangle Gu Yizhou.

"BUZZ BUZZ—"

Just then, Gu Yizhou’s phone vibrated.

He pulled his phone out of his pocket, glanced at it, and nodded in satisfaction.

Shoving the phone back into his pocket, Gu Yizhou said to Yan Luoxi, "Alright, let’s head back."

"Oh."

She nodded, stood up from her seat, and did her best to compose herself.

’I don’t want to lose my dignity in front of this damn man.’

’After all, this might be the last time I ever see Gu Yizhou.’

The scenarios she was imagining were getting more and more absurd.

She was already treating this meeting as their last.

’It’s because Gu Yizhou didn’t say anything or respond. He must be too embarrassed to reject me to my face.’

’He wants to let me, the president, save face.’

’After we get back this time...’

’If I want to ask Gu Yizhou out again, I probably won’t be able to.’

As she thought about this, her mood sank even lower.

She just wanted to go back and find a quiet place to calm herself down.

Her pace couldn’t help but quicken.

Gu Yizhou, walking behind her, looked absolutely delighted.

’Today is truly a joyous day!’

Gu Yizhou thought, walking with a spring in his step.

The two of them walked one after the other.

It was like they were in two completely different worlds.

They were on completely different wavelengths.

When they reached the car, Yan Luoxi suddenly stopped.

She suddenly didn’t feel like getting in.

She didn’t want to go back to the company so soon.

The thought that this might be the last time she saw Gu Yizhou made her afraid she wouldn’t be able to hold it together in the car and would burst into tears.

She had always been a strong, independent woman. For as long as she could remember, she had almost never cried, not even during those years she spent alone abroad. But right now, she really couldn’t stop the urge to cry.

’But... this might also be the last chance I get to ride in Gu Yizhou’s car.’

’I should get in.’

’If it gets too hard, I’ll just pretend to be asleep.’

’I’ll just hide my face a bit with my hair.’

’That damn man doesn’t even like me. He probably won’t notice anything is wrong, right?’

Yan Luoxi bit her lip and subconsciously turned to glance at Gu Yizhou.

As it happened, Gu Yizhou was also looking at her. Noticing her eyes were a little red, he asked in surprise, "Why are your eyes a bit red?"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi almost lost her composure.

"It’s nothing," she replied, biting her lip lightly.

"Really? I feel like something’s wrong. Are you sure you’re not feeling unwell?!"

’Damn man, why do you keep blaming the food?!’

’It has nothing to do with the food!’

’It has to do with you!’

Yan Luoxi, who had just managed to suppress her emotions, was almost pushed over the edge by his words.

She sniffled, her nose starting to sting, and said, "You... Gu Yizhou, after this... will we not see each other again?"

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou was baffled.

’What the hell?’

Before he could speak, he heard Yan Luoxi continue, "You don’t have to quit. If you don’t want to see me, I’ll try my best to stay out of your sight from now on. But if you ever want to get a meal and have no one to go with, you can call me."

"Also, if you run into any trouble at the company that you can’t solve, you can come find me."

"I’ll always be there..."

As Yan Luoxi spoke, her eyes lowered and her voice grew softer and softer.

’I’m about to cry.’

"..."

Gu Yizhou grew more and more confused as he listened.

’Wait a minute!’

’Why does this sound like a life-or-death parting!’

After two and a half seconds of silence,

Gu Yizhou said grimly, "President Yan, what do you mean by that? We’re just about to start dating, and you already want to break up?"

Yan Luoxi didn’t process what he said at first.

With her head still down, she subconsciously replied, "I don’t mean anything by it, I just wanted to..."

But halfway through her sentence, she suddenly snapped her head up, looked at Gu Yizhou, and blurted out, "Damn man, what did you just say?"

"?"

’Damn man???’

Gu Yizhou gave Yan Luoxi a meaningful look.

But he didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he repeated what he had just said: "I said, my dear President Yan, we’re just getting ready to start dating, and you’re already thinking about breaking up?"
