Chapter 115: The Ice-Cold Female President Is Slowly Melting

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: The Ice-Cold Female President Is Slowly Melting

She had been craving this for a long time.

The other day, when she saw that damn man Gu Yizhou eating with such relish, it just looked so delicious.

You have to understand, she’d never even eaten lamb before!

In her mind, lamb had always been one of those foods with a strong, gamey taste, so she’d never been interested.

But after watching Gu Yizhou eat it, the rich aroma of cumin and the image of a crispy outside, tender inside, and a burst of juice with every bite made her unable to resist trying it.

Just thinking about the scene of that bastard Gu Yizhou eating lamb chops made Yan Luoxi’s mouth water.

Looking at the lamb chops on the table and the gloves beside them, she hesitated for a moment before getting up to wash her hands with soap at the nearby sink.

After carefully drying them, she finally sat back down at the dining table.

Her slender, pale fingers picked up a lamb chop from the plate and brought it to her lips.

After mentally preparing herself for a moment, she parted her lips and took a small bite of the lamb chop.

But after a few careful chews, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"Hm?"

’Why doesn’t this taste like what that damn man was eating?’

After a moment’s thought, she took another bite of the lamb chop in her hand.

This time she chewed very slowly, savoring it carefully.

Honestly, the lamb chop had no gamey taste at all, but she still felt like something was off.

After a few more bites, Yan Luoxi lost interest.

She frowned at the exquisitely plated, picture-perfect lamb chops before her.

’Why... when I watched that damn man eat, it didn’t taste like this?’

Yan Luoxi wondered. ’Did my assistant buy the wrong kind?’

What Yan Luoxi didn’t know was that if lamb chops didn’t have any gaminess, could you even call them lamb chops?!

Gu Yizhou had been eating cheap, grilled lamb chops from a street stall. They were full of charcoal flavor, and although they were heavily seasoned, it was impossible to completely mask the gaminess.

The aroma of cumin and other barbecue spices, combined with the unique, rich gaminess from the lamb’s fat, was the key to their deliciousness.

The exquisitely plated lamb chops Yan Luoxi was eating were completely free of any gamey taste, so of course, she couldn’t experience the same sensation Gu Yizhou had while eating his street-stall chops.

But since no one told Yan Luoxi this, she would naturally never know.

In fact, there was another, more important point: Yan Luoxi hadn’t even realized that during her time as a cat, some of her behaviors and habits were unknowingly being influenced and changed by Gu Yizhou.

The original ice queen CEO was slowly being melted by Gu Yizhou...

「5:30 PM.」

After quickly arranging and finishing up her work at the company, Yan Luoxi turned off her phone and hurriedly drove off in her flashy red Ferrari.

She had no choice!

It was almost time for her to turn into a cat again; she had to leave!

Besides, that damn man Gu Yizhou said he was taking her to his mom’s house tonight.

For some reason, Yan Luoxi found herself quite curious about the home Gu Yizhou had grown up in.

...

「6:00 PM sharp.」

Gu Yizhou shut down his computer right on time, then tidied up his desk, ready to leave.

The reason he was in such a hurry was that he had to go home first to get Xiaobai before heading to his mom’s place.

"Brother Yizhou, can I hitch a ride home with you?"

Just then, Song Sisi walked over, bag in hand, and gave him a sweet smile.

"Uh..."

Hearing her voice, Gu Yizhou looked up to see Song Sisi looking at him with an expectant expression.

"Um... Sisi, I have something on tonight, so I probably can’t give you a ride."

Gu Yizhou said, sounding a little apologetic.

Hearing his words, a flicker of disappointment crossed Song Sisi’s eyes.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Yizhou added helplessly, "I have to go to my mom’s place today. Sisi, I’m really sorry."

Hm?

’So Brother Yizhou really is busy, he wasn’t just making an excuse to reject me!’

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s explanation, Song Sisi felt much better.

"Mhm... It’s okay, I’ll just grab a taxi later."

Song Sisi nodded at Gu Yizhou. "Brother Yizhou, you should get going. Don’t keep your mom waiting too long."

"Okay!"

Gu Yizhou didn’t say anything more. He nodded and said, "I’m heading out then. See you tomorrow."

"Mhm~"

Song Sisi beamed, giving Gu Yizhou a little wave. "Brother Yizhou, see you tomorrow~"

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou didn’t linger. He picked up his backpack and helmet and walked out of the office.

As for Song Sisi, she watched his retreating figure, pursed her lips, and then returned to her desk and sat down.

"Ahem?"

"Little Sister Sisi, weren’t you leaving? How come you sat back down?"

He Mingyi, who was nearby, started teasing, "Ooh~~ I get it. You didn’t really want to leave, you wanted to go home with Old Gu!"

"Your real intentions had nothing to do with the ride, did they!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

He said, looking at Song Sisi with a teasing expression.

Hearing his words, the other people in the office couldn’t help but turn to look at Song Sisi.

FLUSH.

Feeling everyone’s intense stares, Song Sisi couldn’t help but blush now that her crush had been exposed!

She shot He Mingyi a fierce glare and then exclaimed in embarrassed anger, "None of your business!!!"

"Hahaha..."

Seeing her indignant look, He Mingyi couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

The others in the office also couldn’t help but laugh at Song Sisi’s adorably flustered appearance.

Song Sisi: "..."

Everyone’s laughter made Song Sisi even more embarrassed.

’It’s all that jerk He Mingyi’s fault!’

Still fuming, she turned and shot He Mingyi another glare before saying resentfully, "You know what? You’re really annoying when you’re like this!"

After saying her piece, she ignored him and went back to her own work.

He Mingyi was left standing there, looking awkward.

Seeing that Song Sisi seemed genuinely angry and the atmosphere had turned sour, everyone else quickly turned back to their own work as well.

"Er..."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, He Mingyi could only rub his nose sheepishly and silently return to his own desk.

’So petty!’

’It was just a little joke, geez!’

He muttered a few words under his breath and then got back to his own work.

’Damn it!’

’I’m so jealous of that bastard Gu Yizhou!’

’We’re both interns, so why does he get to finish his work early every day and never have to work overtime...’

Sigh~

’Comparing yourself to others is truly the thief of joy!’

What he didn’t know was that Gu Yizhou had actually already been promoted to a full-time employee.

If he found that out, he would probably be so angry he’d cough up blood!
