Chapter 121: Chapter 121: A Scumbag Woman for a Scumbag Man, a Match Made in Heaven

"You have a friend?"

"What friend? How come I’ve never heard of them?"

Roy looked at Yan Luoxi suspiciously and said, "Are you making up a ’friend’?"

WHOOSH.

Caught, Yan Luoxi’s face flushed slightly, but she quickly composed herself.

"A business acquaintance. You don’t know them."

She delivered the lie with a perfectly straight face.

"Oh?"

"Is that so?"

Clearly, Roy didn’t believe her.

She had a strong feeling Yan Luoxi was talking about herself.

’Just as I thought!’

’This girl is actually in a relationship!’

Roy thought to herself.

"Yes!"

Yan Luoxi said without batting an eye, "Alright, that’s not the point. Just tell me what the guy’s words mean."

Roy didn’t press the "made-up friend" issue. She pursed her lips and said, "What else could it mean? It means he doesn’t like to pursue girls and wants you to chase him instead! That’s a classic scumbag line, okay!"

"Huh?"

Yan Luoxi paused for a moment. "A scumbag line?"

"Exactly!"

"Any guy who says something like that is bad news. If he’s not a scumbag, what is he?!"

Roy said with absolute certainty.

"A scumbag..."

Yan Luoxi repeated quietly under her breath.

’That damn Gu Yizhou is a scumbag?’

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"Xixi, did that scumbag say this to you?"

Roy asked suddenly.

"No, he didn’t say that to me, it’s just that I..."

Yan Luoxi didn’t react in time and blurted it out. Before she could finish, she realized her mistake.

She looked up at Roy, her expression blank. "I told you, I’m asking for a friend."

"As if I’d believe you!"

Roy couldn’t help but pout and mumble under her breath.

Yan Luoxi glanced at her but didn’t offer any explanation.

"Alright, there’s nothing else for you here. You can go now!"

she said coolly to Roy.

Roy: "..."

’Seriously?!’

’You called me over just to ask me this???’

She stared at Yan Luoxi, her eyes wide with bewilderment.

"I need to get back to work."

Yan Luoxi completely ignored her expression and spoke again.

"Fine!"

"I’m leaving, alright?!"

Seeing that Yan Luoxi was kicking her out, Roy said indignantly, "You scumbag!"

After saying that, she got up and walked toward the door, unable to stop herself from muttering a complaint, "Pfft, a scumbag for a scumbag—a match made in heaven! Hmph!"

Although her voice was very quiet, Yan Luoxi heard every word.

"Ahem."

Yan Luoxi faked a cough and said coolly, "What was that?"

"Huh?"

"N-nothing! I didn’t say anything!"

Roy frantically waved her hands, then scurried away without looking back.

BAM!

The door was slammed shut. Seeing this, Yan Luoxi frowned slightly but didn’t say anything more.

After looking away, she muttered to herself, "’A scumbag for a scumbag, a match made in heaven?’"

"That sounds kind of interesting."

The corners of Yan Luoxi’s mouth curved into a beautiful smile, but she quickly returned to her usual ice-queen demeanor.

’Wait!’

’What do you mean, a scumbag for a scumbag!’

’I’m not a scumbag, but that damn man... he might be!’

’Hmph!’

...

「Time flew, and soon it was the end of the workday.」

As usual, Gu Yizhou clocked out and left right on time.

This made his colleagues, who had to stay and work overtime because they hadn’t finished their tasks, incredibly envious.

But what could they do? None of them were as fast as Gu Yizhou.

Ahem... and by fast, we mean in a completely respectable way. Don’t let your mind wander.

By the time Gu Yizhou got home, Yan Luoxi was already back.

Of course, she was in her Mao Xiaobai form at this point.

Having not seen Xiaobai all day, Gu Yizhou reverted to his playful, puppy-like self and started causing mischief.

This made Yan Luoxi so mad she gritted her teeth, wishing she could just bite this damn man to death.

The human and the cat had their usual great battle, which only ended in a truce when the takeout Gu Yizhou had ordered arrived.

...

At 10:30 PM, Gu Yizhou was about to take out his laptop to review the day’s stock market performance.

Just then, he suddenly received a text message from an unknown number.

The message read: "Gu Yizhou, Qianqian had an accident and is in the hospital. Can you come see her?"

"Hm?"

Gu Yizhou froze for a second when he saw the message.

He didn’t recognize the phone number, but still!

’Su Qianqian is in the hospital?’

Gu Yizhou’s brow furrowed slightly.

He considered it for a moment. ’Surely no one would play a prank on me with something like this, right?’

BUZZ BUZZ—BUZZ BUZZ—

Just then, another message came in.

It was from the same unknown number.

The message read: "Modu City People’s Hospital, Room 305."

"Er..."

Gu Yizhou thought about it for a long time before finally putting down his laptop, getting up, and quickly taking a shower.

"Xiaobai, I have to go out for a bit. You stay home and sleep, don’t run around, you hear me!"

After his shower, Gu Yizhou returned to the bedroom, speaking to Xiaobai on the bed as he changed his clothes.

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi, who had been dozing off, lifted her head to look at him.

And just in time!

To see him changing his clothes.

She was instantly mortified!

’Huh???’

’Agh, this damn pervert!’

’So shameless!!’

’Exhibitionist!!!’

Yan Luoxi quickly covered her little face with her paws, but Gu Yizhou was in no state to notice. After he finished changing, he turned and hurried out the door.

CLICK...

BAM.

Hearing the sounds of the front door opening and closing, Yan Luoxi snapped out of her embarrassment.

’Hm?’

’Something’s not right!’

’Where is that jerk going this late at night?’

’He wouldn’t be going to see a prosti... er, a "lady of the night," would he?’

Yan Luoxi wondered doubtfully.

Meanwhile, Gu Yizhou had already arrived downstairs in the residential complex.

The night was dark.

Under the dim yellow light of the complex’s street lamps, Gu Yizhou walked straight toward the main gate.

The old security guard at the gate heard the movement and woke from his daze, just in time to see Gu Yizhou walking out of the complex.

’Hm?’

’Is that him? That goofy kid!’

’It’s almost eleven and he’s going out on a date? Looks like another sleepless night of passion awaits!’

’Sigh...’

’It’s great to be young!’

the old security guard mumbled to himself.

Meanwhile, Gu Yizhou had reached the side of the road outside the complex.

He was waiting for a car.

He had already used his phone to call a car on his way down.

After all, it was hard to hail a taxi this late at night.

Before long, a private car slowly pulled up beside Gu Yizhou.

The driver rolled down the window and asked, "Hello, are you the one who called for a ride?"

"Yes, that’s me!"

Gu Yizhou replied.

After confirming, Gu Yizhou got in the car.

Soon, the car started moving.

「About 20 minutes later.」

The car stopped at the main entrance of Modu City People’s Hospital...
