Chapter 129: Chapter 129: First Close Contact in Human Form

"Hm?"

Gu Yizhou’s hand paused mid-action.

"President Yan?"

he said, a little surprised.

’But... was she just kicking a little pebble on the road???’

Gu Yizhou was completely baffled.

’This... What happened to the ice queen?’

’Her behavior is no different from an elementary schooler’s, right?’

Gu Yizhou felt the rumors online were way too different from reality.

...

"Sss~"

"It really hurts!"

Yan Luoxi stared at her slightly reddened big toe, getting angrier the more she thought about it.

"It’s all that dog man Gu Yizhou’s fault!"

"Right!"

"It’s all that dog man’s fault!!"

...

She muttered curses at Gu Yizhou under her breath.

Just as she was muttering to herself, a voice suddenly whispered beside her ear, "Here."

"Huh?"

Yan Luoxi jumped. She whipped her head around, only to see an impeccably handsome face appear in her line of sight.

"Dog man?"

The words slipped out of her mouth instinctively.

Gu Yizhou: "?"

That’s right!

The one handing Yan Luoxi a tissue was none other than Gu Yizhou, who had just finished his meal and left the restaurant.

Seeing President Yan Luoxi staring at him with wide, shocked eyes, Gu Yizhou was also completely baffled.

’Dog man?’

’Did I just get cursed out?’

’No, wait!’

’I don’t think I did anything, did I?’

’How did I become a "dog man"???’

’Is this woman nuts?’

When Yan Luoxi saw Gu Yizhou looking at her with a bewildered expression, she realized she had misspoken.

’Only I know the nickname "dog man." Gu Yizhou doesn’t know.’

But right now, Yan Luoxi was also panicking hard.

’This is the first time I’ve been this close to the dog man in my human form.’

’Also, why did he suddenly appear behind me?’

’He couldn’t have discovered my secret, could he? Does he know I’m Mao Xiaobai?’

Yan Luoxi’s mind started racing. At this moment, she had none of the calm and decisiveness of Modu’s most beautiful ice queen president!

Just as she was pondering how to explain herself, Gu Yizhou spoke.

"Ahem~"

"President Yan, a tissue. Do you need one?"

Gu Yizhou said, wiggling the tissue in his hand.

Only then did Yan Luoxi realize that Gu Yizhou had come over to give her a tissue.

She immediately collected her thoughts, reverting to her ice queen president persona, and said to Gu Yizhou with a blank expression, "No, thank you."

Her tone was calm, yet it had a "keep your distance" feel to it.

Especially now that she had come to her senses, she remembered Gu Yizhou not coming home last night, and she became so angry that her tone grew even colder.

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou was taken aback for a moment.

’Wait a minute!’

’I don’t think I did anything to provoke her, did I?’

’What’s wrong with this woman?’

’Her mood changes on a dime!’

Gu Yizhou complained silently in his head.

’Oh... right!’

’Does she think I’m trying to hit on her?’

The thought suddenly occurred to Gu Yizhou, so he began to explain, "Um... President Yan, I’m an employee at Tidal Group. I don’t mean anything by this. I just saw that you seem to have gotten your foot dirty, so I came over to give you a tissue."

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi shot him a sidelong glance.

’Duh!’

’Of course I know you’re a Tidal Group employee!’

’You’re my subordinate, you dog man!’

’Hmph!’

"Oh? Which department are you in?"

Yan Luoxi asked casually, pretending not to know him.

"President Yan, I’m in the Finance Department."

Gu Yizhou replied.

As he spoke, he pulled his work ID from his pocket and presented it to Yan Luoxi.

The information was clearly written on it: Tidal Group Finance Department, Team Three, Gu Yizhou.

"Gu Yizhou."

Yan Luoxi read his name aloud casually.

"Yes, President Yan. My name is Gu Yizhou."

Gu Yizhou smiled openly.

That smile from Gu Yizhou made Yan Luoxi’s heart skip a beat.

She had to admit, seeing this dog man, Gu Yizhou, up close, he really was handsome.

Although she often looked at Gu Yizhou up close when she was a cat, the feeling was different from when she was in her human form.

For a moment, Yan Luoxi couldn’t quite describe the feeling.

Seeing his president suddenly staring at him, Gu Yizhou started to feel a little creeped out.

"Ahem."

He cleared his throat again, feigning a cough.

Only then did Yan Luoxi retract her gaze. She took the tissue from his hand with a deadpan expression and said, "Thank you. Gu Yizhou, right? I’ll remember you."

After speaking, she turned and walked away without looking back.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

He watched the back of his ice queen president, feeling a little dazed.

’This...’

’What does that mean?’

’What does she mean, "I’ll remember you"?’

That last sentence... Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but feel it sounded a bit strange, and it made him feel a little creeped out.????

「Evening, seven o’clock sharp.」

CLICK...

At the Binjiang No. 1 Mansion District, Gu Yizhou unlocked the door to apartment 305 and walked in.

FLICK~

He switched on the living room light.

Looking at the empty sofa, he saw no sign of Xiaobai.

Gu Yizhou’s heart sank.

’She’s not back yet?’

’Did something happen to her? Or is she never coming back?’

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai... are you here?"

Gu Yizhou called out.

In truth, Yan Luoxi had been back for a while.

She was currently lying on the bedroom bed, resting with her eyes closed.

She had heard the door open the moment Gu Yizhou came back.

But she was angry and didn’t want to deal with Gu Yizhou!

"Xiaobai? Xiaobai?"

"Are you back?"

Gu Yizhou said as he walked into the bedroom.

FLICK~

He turned on the bedroom light.

The moment the light came on, Gu Yizhou saw Xiaobai lying motionless on the bed.

His eyes lit up instantly!

"Oh?"

"Xiaobai, you’re here!"

"I was calling for you. Why are you ignoring me?"

"Were you sleeping?"

Gu Yizhou said with a broad smile, looking at Xiaobai.

With Xiaobai here, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Yan Luoxi lifted her head and glanced at him.

Then she completely ignored him.

She closed her eyes and went back to her own business!

’Acknowledge you?’

’I’m doing well not to bite you to death right now!’

’And you expect me to acknowledge you!’

’Dream on!’

’You stinking womanizer!’

Yan Luoxi cursed inwardly.

When Gu Yizhou saw that Xiaobai was ignoring him,

he found it a bit strange.

He walked to the side of the bed and sat down.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, what’s wrong?"

Gu Yizhou asked in a gentle and concerned voice, "Are you not feeling well somewhere?"

Even though his tone was very gentle, Yan Luoxi still didn’t want to acknowledge him.

In fact, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

’Right!’

’That’s right!’

’I am indeed not feeling well!’

’My heart is not feeling well!’

she roared.

"Meeow~"

But the words came out of her mouth like this!

How could Gu Yizhou possibly understand!

He reached out and picked Yan Luoxi up!

"MEOW!"

"HISS~"

The moment she was picked up, Yan Luoxi’s fur stood on end!
