Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Gu Yizhou, You Really Are a Dog

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi meowed.

But what she was actually saying was, "I protest! Hey, I want to go out! I want to play!! Hmph!!!"

Of course, Gu Yizhou couldn’t understand her feline language.

"Wait, Xiaobai, do you have a dog outside... Er, no, I mean, do you have a tomcat out there?!"

Gu Yizhou suddenly remembered what that nice young vet had said before—that Xiaobai had reached reproductive age.

’A tomcat...’

’You’re the one with a tomcat!’

After hearing what Gu Yizhou said, Yan Luoxi couldn’t resist the urge to bite him to death!

’Is that something a human should be saying?’

’It’s true I don’t have a man on the side, but you’re a real dog!’

Yan Luoxi thought indignantly.

If she could roll her eyes right now, she’d want to do it ten times in a row!

Gu Yizhou saw Xiaobai hiss at him.

He just smiled, unconcerned. He knew Xiaobai was smart and wouldn’t actually bite him, so he looked completely unfazed.

He placed Xiaobai back on the sofa.

"Xiaobai, are you hungry?"

"Let me get you some fresh cat food."

Gu Yizhou got up and went to the balcony to replace her food with fresh kibble and cooled boiled water.

Ugh...

’Hungry my ass!’

’I’m still stuffed!’

She had been eating all day. She ate so much last night and a lot this morning too. For someone who usually had a small appetite, she wasn’t hungry at all right now!

Yan Luoxi perfunctorily lifted an eyelid to glance at Gu Yizhou before closing her eyes and continuing to lie on the sofa.

Seeing that she wasn’t eating, Gu Yizhou didn’t force her.

From yesterday afternoon until just now, he had no idea where this silly little cat had run off to, yet she didn’t seem hungry in the slightest.

’Whatever!’

’She can eat if she wants to!’

’Anyway, when she gets hungry enough, she’ll eat on her own.’

’I’ll just leave her be for now.’

But while Xiaobai wasn’t eating, he certainly had to!

Gu Yizhou’s stomach felt completely empty.

He’d been so focused on finding Xiaobai earlier that he hadn’t even felt hungry. Now that he’d stopped searching, he realized his stomach was starting to protest!

Gu Yizhou washed his hands, sat on the sofa, and started ordering takeout for himself.

It was so late, he couldn’t be bothered to cook.

’What should I eat?’

’Hmm... I’ll go with the roasted lamb chops from that place again!’

’I didn’t even have a chance to eat lunch today because I was searching for the cat the whole time. It’s the perfect excuse to eat something good and recharge my energy!’

After placing his order, Gu Yizhou tossed his phone onto the coffee table.

He leaned his whole body back.

"Haaaah..."

"So comfortable!"

Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but let out a groan of satisfaction.

’Today was just too exhausting!’

’And it was all because of this silly little cat!’

Gu Yizhou glanced at Xiaobai, who was lying down with her eyes closed, and shook his head helplessly.

He then started to rest with his eyes closed as well.

The man and the cat lay comfortably on the sofa, a perfectly harmonious scene.

...

「About half an hour later.」

The ringing of a phone woke them both up.

Yan Luoxi shot Gu Yizhou a look of disgust.

Gu Yizhou picked up his phone and casually answered.

It was the delivery guy.

He had knocked, but no one answered, so he had to call.

Gu Yizhou quickly got up to open the door.

After taking the food, he thanked the delivery guy.

Then he carried the takeout back to the living room.

He placed the food on the dining table, ready to dig in!

As for why he wasn’t eating on the sofa... it was because Gu Yizhou was afraid Xiaobai would pester him for a bite.

So he hid off to the side to eat, giving her no chance to cause a scene.

The moment he opened the takeout container,

the rich aroma of cumin lamb filled the entire living room.

Yan Luoxi lifted her head and shot Gu Yizhou a glance.

’That stinker, he’s eating lamb chops again!’

’Hmph!’

’Good thing I’m not hungry right now, or this would be torture!’

Yan Luoxi thought irritably.

But then, she had another thought.

’That stinker... he’s only just now eating lunch!’

’Does that mean he didn’t even stop to eat earlier, and was just looking for me the whole time...?’

’Uh...’

’That dumb idiot!’

’Couldn’t he have eaten first before looking for me?’

Yan Luoxi thought, feeling a little embarrassed.

But even as she thought this, she still felt a warmth spread through her heart.

She silently committed this moment to memory.

Suddenly, another thought struck her!

’Wait a minute!’

’Doesn’t this damn man have to work today?’

’Is he skipping work? Playing hooky?’

’Hmph!’

’He should get a pay cut!’

Yan Luoxi thought, annoyed.

Gu Yizhou glanced at Xiaobai and saw that she wasn’t begging for food.

He smiled, paid her no more mind, and picked up a lamb chop to start feasting.

’Mmm, mmm...’

’So delicious!’

Gu Yizhou didn’t know if it was because he was just that hungry, but he felt that these roasted lamb chops were even more fragrant and delicious than last time!

The outside was roasted to a crispy golden-brown, while the inside was unbelievably tender and juicy!

The juices would burst out with every bite!

’Delicious!’

’This is way better than the street-stall barbecue from my past life.’

’I wonder what’s different about the way they make it.’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

Perhaps because he was just too hungry,

he devoured the entire portion of lamb chops in less than fifteen minutes!

"BURP~"

After chugging the last of his "fat otaku happy water," Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but let out a satisfied burp!

Haaaah...

’So satisfying!’

With a look of utter contentment, Gu Yizhou entered post-nut clarity mode.

After recovering for two minutes, Gu Yizhou cleaned up the trash, threw it in the kitchen, and closed the door.

He had to. He was afraid Xiaobai might take the opportunity to go through the trash and sneak a bite when he wasn’t looking!

However, if Yan Luoxi knew what he was thinking!

She would’ve wanted to smack him dead with a single paw!

’I’m the proud female CEO of a hundred-billion-dollar corporation, and this damn man thinks I would go through the trash for scraps?!’

’The damage is minimal, but the insult is critical!’

’Gu Yizhou, you really are a dog!’

After doing all that, Gu Yizhou sat back down on the sofa.

He turned on the TV and forcefully pulled Xiaobai into his lap.

Yan Luoxi was already used to this and couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.

Gu Yizhou watched the news on TV while petting his cat, feeling utterly content.

"Oh, right, Xiaobai, Daddy might be home really late tomorrow night."

Gu Yizhou suddenly said to Xiaobai.

"Huh??"

Yan Luoxi lifted her little head and looked at Gu Yizhou in confusion.

Gu Yizhou saw Xiaobai suddenly lift her head to look at him.

He froze for a second.

’This... This silly little cat, can she really understand me?’

Gu Yizhou was a little surprised.

But he quickly shook his head. ’It’s probably just a coincidence.’

’After all, even if she can understand human speech, it would only be simple words.’

Still, he explained to her casually.

"Xiaobai, Ms. Chen told me to come home for dinner tomorrow night, so I’ll probably be back late."

Gu Yizhou stroked Xiaobai’s soft fur as he spoke, "I have no choice. Ms. Chen has spoken, so I have to go back. You’ll be home by yourself, so no running off this time, okay!"

’Ms. Chen?’

Yan Luoxi was puzzled.

But she quickly figured it out.

’Oh, he must be talking about his mom!’

She looked at Gu Yizhou with disgust.

Right now, all she wanted was to escape from his lap.

She was afraid Gu Yizhou might get some wicked ideas about her.

’What if he... you know!’

’Gets excited... and... moves...’

’Wouldn’t that thing go straight to my stomach and poke right through me?!’

’The mere thought is terrifying!’

’Oh god, that’s too scary!’

When Gu Yizhou felt Xiaobai struggling in his lap, he didn’t think much of it and simply held her down.

If he knew what this silly little cat in his arms was thinking,

he would’ve gotten so angry he’d have pulled out the Septwolves from his waistband on the spot and shown her who’s the real "daddy"!
