Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Yan Luoxi: Heaven and Earth are vast, but that jerk comes first

The president’s office on the top floor of Tidal Group.

The elevator had just reached the top floor.

Her assistant, Bai Jie, was already waiting by the office door.

Earlier that morning, Yan Luoxi had said she would arrange the afternoon’s work schedule after she returned.

Seeing Yan Luoxi step out, she hurried over and asked, "President Yan, how would you like to arrange the work for this afternoon?"

Yan Luoxi replied in a light, cheerful tone, "Just bring me what you’ve already arranged."

"Huh?"

Bai Jie looked a little surprised.

It was the first time she had ever seen her boss this happy!

So happy, in fact, that she couldn’t hide it!

Even the way she spoke to her subordinates had become much gentler.

However, Bai Jie was a secretary.

Her job was to execute, not to question.

"Understood, President Yan," Bai Jie said.

Yan Luoxi entered her office.

She had just sat down when—

RING RING RING—

Her phone buzzed with a notification.

Yan Luoxi casually picked up her phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Gu Yizhou.

That man: "I’m back at my desk."

Attached below the message was a selfie of him.

Seeing the smile on Gu Yizhou’s face, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but blush.

’This guy... he’s so full of himself...’

But the irrepressible smile tugging at her lips said it all.

She thought for a moment, then picked up her phone with both hands and replied to Gu Yizhou: "Okay. Don’t rush your work, and don’t overwork yourself."

After sending the message, she set her phone aside.

But she had just put it down when it rang again.

Yan Luoxi picked it up and saw it was a call from her mom.

Uh...

She froze for a second. ’Does Mom already know I made things official with him?’

As the thought crossed her mind, a flicker of panic appeared on her beautiful face.

But in the end, she answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Mom, what’s up?"

Yan Luoxi tried her best to keep her voice steady.

"Xixi, are you busy at work? If you have time tonight, come home for dinner."

The scolding Yan Luoxi had imagined didn’t come. She was a little surprised.

’Could it be that Dad hasn’t told Mom yet?’

She clutched her phone, her expression hesitant.

’Should I tell Ms. Tang that I’m officially with him now?’

’If I do...’

’...and Ms. Tang is strongly against it, that would be troublesome.’

When she didn’t answer, Tang Wanfang frowned on the other end of the line. "No time again? Seriously, what are you doing every night? Is work really that busy?"

"You’re not going off to see that little boyfriend of yours, are you?!"

Yan Luoxi: "..."

Hearing her mom’s words, Yan Luoxi was speechless.

’She couldn’t argue. Her mom was actually half right.’

’She did indeed go to see him at night.’

’Just not in her own body!’

"Mom, I have to handle business matters at night. It has nothing to do with him, so don’t blame him."

Yan Luoxi thought for a moment before speaking in a calm voice.

After another moment’s thought, she added, "Also, I confessed to him today."

Yan Luoxi had hesitated for a long time, but she still decided to tell her mother.

After all, if she didn’t say it now, her mom would find out later anyway.

It was better to just say it herself.

Maybe this would stop her mom from always having a problem with him.

"Hmm???"

Tang Wanfang paused, then said excitedly, "And? Were you rejected?"

For some reason...

...even though she had never met the person her daughter liked, she had a feeling she didn’t like this boy.

They had been dragging things out for so long, and in the end, her daughter was the one who had to confess.

This made Ms. Tang extremely unhappy!

"No," Yan Luoxi replied calmly.

"Ah?"

Tang Wanfang asked uncertainly, "It worked?"

Yan Luoxi: "Yes, it worked."

"???"

Tang Wanfang was stunned!

"You’ve officially confirmed your relationship?" she asked again.

"Yes!"

Yan Luoxi said happily, "We’ve made it official. He’s my boyfriend now."

After a thought, she added, "Um... he’s really good at finance. Starting today, the Group should be able to make even more money."

Yan Luoxi actually felt a little insecure.

Normally, she wouldn’t bother explaining.

But she wanted her relationship with Gu Yizhou to be accepted.

So she specifically added that Gu Yizhou could help the company make money.

It took Tang Wanfang a full minute to process this.

Yan Luoxi wasn’t joking.

’She actually went and confessed behind my back, and succeeded!’

This girl! So if she hadn’t asked, her daughter would have never told her!

Tang Wanfang said irritably, "I object!"

Yan Luoxi was stunned speechless.

Her heart sank, but she said firmly, "Mom, whether you agree or not, I’m still going to be with him."

Hearing her daughter’s words, Tang Wanfang grew even more annoyed.

She said, "Come back tonight. Let’s talk about this in person."

Yan Luoxi instantly replied, "I’m not free tonight."

"Then tomorrow at noon," Tang Wanfang said, a little angry now.

"Still not free," Yan Luoxi said, shaking her head.

"What do you mean!"

"What could you possibly be doing in the middle of the day?" Tang Wanfang snapped.

"I’m having lunch with my boyfriend," Yan Luoxi answered calmly.

As if afraid of her mom’s displeasure, she added, "How about this, if you want to see me, Mom, you can come have lunch with us."

Hearing this, Tang Wanfang almost laughed out of sheer anger.

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes. "So if I want to see you, I have to go have lunch with the two of you?"

Was there ever a more pathetic mother?!

Ms. Tang could not accept this!

"Well, otherwise, we could video chat," Yan Luoxi offered.

"No!" Tang Wanfang snapped. "Can’t you just skip lunch with him tomorrow and meet me first? You’ve only just started dating, and you’re already taking his side over your family’s? You don’t want your own mother anymore, is that it?"

Originally, Tang Wanfang hadn’t been this angry.

But as the conversation went on, Tang Wanfang was getting worked up.

The daughter she had raised for so many years was now spending every day with some other man and wasn’t even coming home!

She even had to schedule around that man’s time just to see her own daughter!

Seeing that her mom was getting truly angry, Yan Luoxi softened her tone. "Mom, whatever it is, you can just tell me clearly over the phone. If that’s not enough, we can video chat right now."

Yan Luoxi felt that since she had just gotten together with Gu Yizhou, she really didn’t want to stand him up the very next day.
