Chapter 126: A Woman’s Hair on the Bedsheet?

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: A Woman’s Hair on the Bedsheet?

She didn’t have time to overthink things.

If she didn’t leave now, she might actually run into Gu Yizhou should he suddenly return.

If he actually caught her, things would get seriously complicated!

Yan Luoxi casually grabbed an oversized jacket from Gu Yizhou’s closet and put it on. With practiced ease, she opened the door and slipped back into her own room next door, number 306.

Once back in her bedroom, Yan Luoxi slipped off the jacket that hid her magnificent figure and stood before her closet to pick out something to wear.

Yan Luoxi’s stunning figure was instantly reflected in the mirror.

Her skin was as fair and smooth as cream, and her long, jet-black hair fell loosely around her shoulders.

The sight was utterly bewitching.

Anyone who witnessed this scene would undoubtedly be captivated by her stunning physique.

A visual estimate would put her at a D-cup or larger, a figure far beyond the average woman.

Her cool, regal "ice queen" aura only added a hint of seductive charm.

It was a sight one simply couldn’t look away from.

’Still, I need to be better prepared for the transformation next time.’

’Otherwise, I always end up lying on my stomach. Every time I change back to my human form, I’m in the same position.’

’My chest gets so squished I can barely breathe!’

’Oh, well.’

’My assets are just too generous!’

Shaking her head, Yan Luoxi selected an outfit from the closet and got dressed.

Then, she moved to her vanity.

She casually applied some simple makeup.

It made her already enchanting face even more alluring.

She looked so good it was practically a crime.

Yan Luoxi gathered her things and left.

As always, she got into her flashy red Ferrari.

The sports car’s engine roared to life, and Yan Luoxi drove out of the complex where Gu Yizhou lived.

At the gatehouse, the old security guard once again saw Yan Luoxi drive away.

’Was this the second time I’ve seen her, or the third?’ he wondered.

Oh well, he’d already forgotten.

But he had to admit...

’She’s one hell of a woman!’

’I wonder which lucky young fool she’s with.’

The old security guard sighed to himself as he watched the car’s taillights fade into the distance.

Yan Luoxi weaved through the traffic.

Soon, she vanished at the end of the road.

Just then, Gu Yizhou arrived back at the complex.

Seeing Gu Yizhou walk in from the outside, the old security guard did a double-take.

"Don’t tell me he was at it all night and is only just getting back?"

he thought to himself.

"Hmm?"

Just as he reached the gatehouse, Gu Yizhou noticed the old security guard staring at him.

He paused, then subconsciously gave the old guard a nod.

"Just gettin’ back, son?"

Seeing the greeting, the old guard spoke up.

"Yeah!"

Although Gu Yizhou was a little confused as to how the old guard knew, he simply smiled and nodded.

"Alright, alright!"

"Got some good stamina, son!"

The old guard couldn’t help but give him a thumbs-up.

Gu Yizhou: "?"

But the old man didn’t say anything else, simply turning away to pull a cigarette from his pocket and smoke contentedly.

’Man, these cigarettes are pretty good!’

’I wonder if that young lady from before will come by and slip me another couple of cartons.’

he thought to himself.

Gu Yizhou saw the old man ignoring him and smoking by himself. Though a bit confused, he didn’t dwell on it.

’What a weird old guy.’

Shaking his head, Gu Yizhou walked straight into the complex.

...

"CLICK~"

Gu Yizhou took out his key and opened the door to his apartment.

He called out casually, "Xiaobai? Xiaobai, are you here?"

...

But there was no response from the silent living room.

After changing his shoes, Gu Yizhou scanned the living room but saw no sign of Xiaobai.

’As expected. That little rascal Xiaobai snuck out again.’

Sigh.

He’d never seen a cat that loved to sneak out so much and refused to stay home.

If he wasn’t afraid that the cat’s wanderlust would lead it to climb out a window and fall, he really would have plugged the hole in the door.

’Oh well.’

’It’s getting late.’

’Time to wash up and get to work.’

Gu Yizhou shook his head in resignation and turned toward the bathroom.

By the time he finished washing up, it was already 8:30 in the morning.

Gu Yizhou returned to his bedroom, ready to change and head out for work.

’If I leave now, I should be able to make it without being late.’

Opening the closet, Gu Yizhou casually grabbed a clean set of clothes and changed.

Looking at the slightly messy blankets on the bed, Gu Yizhou felt a sense of resignation.

’No doubt about it. That rascal Xiaobai must have been making a mess on the bed again while I was out last night.’

As he thought this, he walked over to quickly fold the blankets.

"Hmm?"

As he was tidying the sheets, he suddenly froze.

"What’s this...?"

"A hair?"

Gu Yizhou muttered to himself.

As he spoke, he reached down and picked up a long strand of hair from the sheet.

"Hair this long... This doesn’t seem to be mine, does it?"

Gu Yizhou was utterly baffled.

"A woman’s hair?"

"That can’t be right!"

"How could there be a woman’s hair on my bed?"

Gazing at the long hair in his hand, Gu Yizhou fell into a contemplative silence.

’Was I robbed?’

He started checking the things in his room.

A few minutes later...

Gu Yizhou was confused once more.

Because nothing in his room was missing.

His computer was there, his tablet was there, and even the wallet he hadn’t used in ages was still there.

Nothing was gone.

’So...’

’Could it be Su Qianqian’s?’

’Did it get on my clothes when I just came back from the hospital and I brought it home with me?’

’No, that’s not right!’

’I showered in the bathroom as soon as I got back. I only changed my clothes after I came out, so I never even went into the bedroom.’

he suddenly thought.

’If it’s not Su Qianqian’s, could it be from the last time my mom came over to help clean up?’

’Or maybe I accidentally picked it up at work from Song Sisi or another female colleague and brought it home on my clothes?’

After racking his brain, Gu Yizhou simply couldn’t figure out how a woman’s hair had appeared on his bed.

He glanced at the time. It was already 8:40 a.m.

If he didn’t leave now, he’d definitely be late.

’Whatever.’

’Anyway, nothing’s missing, and the apartment doesn’t look like it’s been burgled.’

’The hair most likely just got stuck to my clothes while I was out and I brought it home without noticing.’

Gu Yizhou reassured himself.

Without giving it any more thought, he walked out of the bedroom, grabbed his backpack and helmet, and hurried out the door.

「9:40 a.m.」

「In the CEO’s office on the top floor of Tidal Group.」

Yan Luoxi was looking over the day’s employee check-in records, delivered by her assistant, Bai Jie.

When she saw Gu Yizhou’s check-in time, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But where the hell did that man go last night?

’To think he didn’t come home all night!’

"BZZT BZZT—BZZT BZZT—"

Just then, the phone on her desk suddenly began to vibrate.
