Chapter 147: Chapter 147: It’s Confirmed! Ice Xi Is Really in a Relationship

"Sigh..."

"Ah, to be young and full of vigor!"

Having just showered, Gu Yizhou stood on his balcony hanging his underwear out to dry, muttering to himself with a hint of resignation.

After tidying up, Gu Yizhou checked the time. It was already 8:35 in the morning.

There was no time for anything else; he grabbed his backpack and helmet and headed out the door.

Any later, and he’d be late again.

「...」

At 9:10 AM.

On the top floor of the Tidal Group building, inside the president’s office.

’Should I buy Zhongxin Group’s stock or not?’

Yan Luoxi gripped a pen, lightly biting her pink lips. Her beautiful eyes were filled with indecision.

With the stock market about to open, she was hesitating over whether to buy shares in Zhongxin Group.

If she bought them, she’d be even more indebted to that jerk.

But if she didn’t, she couldn’t bear the thought of watching such a huge, easily attainable profit slip through her fingers...

Nearby, her assistant, Bai Jie, who was organizing meeting materials, stealthily glanced at her boss.

’President Yan is spacing out again?’

She couldn’t even remember how many times her boss had spaced out recently.

This was something that had never happened before!

Also, it had been a long time since her boss had asked Bai Jie to pick her up in the morning.

She’d heard from Vice President Luo that President Yan seemed to have a boyfriend...

’Could her boss really be in a relationship?’

Bai Jie was slightly startled at the thought.

CLACK.

In a moment of distraction, a pen fell to the floor.

The sound startled Yan Luoxi out of her conflicted daze.

Coming back to her senses, she turned to look at her assistant.

Bai Jie had snapped out of it too. Her face flushed slightly as she quickly said, "I’m sorry, President Yan. My pen slipped. I didn’t mean to disturb you."

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, but she didn’t say much.

Instead, she gave an order, "Assistant Bai, please go get President Luo for me."

Seeing that her boss wasn’t blaming her, Bai Jie breathed a huge sigh of relief. She nodded quickly. "Right away, President Yan. I’ll go now."

With that, she immediately turned and left to get her.

Yan Luoxi watched her back for a moment before looking away.

After a moment’s thought, she picked up the phone on her desk, opened WeChat, and found a chat with the contact name "That Jerk."

The chat history was still completely blank.

That’s right.

Yan Luoxi had added Gu Yizhou a long time ago, but the two had never exchanged a single word.

Yan Luoxi pursed her red lips. She felt it was time to take the first step.

After hesitating for a while, she typed and retyped her message several times on the keyboard before finally sending one to Gu Yizhou.

Yan Baizhou: "Hello, are you there?"

After sending the message, Yan Luoxi waited for a bit, but there was no reply from Gu Yizhou.

’What is that jerk doing?’

’Why isn’t he messaging me back?’

Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but frown slightly.

CLICK.

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

’No need to think. It must be that damn girl, Roy!’

Because besides her, no one in the company dared to enter Yan Luoxi’s office without knocking.

Yan Luoxi glanced toward the door. As expected, it was her.

She discreetly turned off her phone screen.

"Xixi, what’d you call me for?"

Roy strode up to Yan Luoxi’s desk and sat down nonchalantly.

"Yeah, there’s something I want to ask you."

Yan Luoxi nodded, her expression calm.

"What is it?"

Roy thought she was about to discuss business, so she adopted a serious expression.

"Um..."

Yan Luoxi organized her thoughts before speaking. "If you heard from someone about an opportunity to earn a billion in the short term, would you invest?"

Roy: "?"

’What the hell?’

’She had no idea what Yan Luoxi was talking about.’

"Xixi, what... what do you mean? I don’t think I follow," Roy asked, confused.

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi’s brow furrowed slightly.

’Did I not say it clearly?’

Just as she was thinking about how to explain it more clearly, Roy, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly had a thought.

She said to Yan Luoxi, "Xixi, don’t tell me you’ve gotten some inside information again, like last time?"

"Hm?"

Lost in thought, Yan Luoxi didn’t process the question and blurted out, "How did you know?"

The moment the words left her mouth, she came to her senses and realized she had misspoken.

But at this point, there was no use trying to hide it.

"Holy crap..."

"I actually guessed right?" Roy said in surprise.

After all, the last time, thanks to Yan Luoxi’s inside tip, the company had made a profit of several hundred million in a short period!

The thought made Roy impatient. "Xixi, spill it! What’s the hot inside scoop this time that made you say you could earn a billion in the short term!"

In response to Roy’s question, Yan Luoxi just shook her head lightly without answering.

Because she herself wasn’t even sure if she wanted to follow Gu Yizhou’s lead and buy Zhongxin Group’s stock.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Gu Yizhou’s information and analysis.

It was that she felt it wasn’t quite right to secretly use his information and analysis to gain such a huge profit without his knowledge.

After all, that jerk didn’t know the cat he’d picked up was actually a person, or he never would have revealed such information so easily.

Although she didn’t know where Gu Yizhou got his information, leaking such top-secret insider news definitely carried some risk.

Besides, she had already made so much money from his information and analysis last time.

Yan Luoxi wasn’t short on money, but several hundred million was no small sum. She felt she already owed that jerk far too much.

"Xixi, what’s wrong?"

Seeing her staring into space, seemingly deep in thought, Roy asked, "Is this new scoop something you can’t talk about?"

"It’s not that."

"I just feel like I owe him too much," Yan Luoxi said after a moment of thought.

"Uh..."

Roy faltered for a second. She stared at Yan Luoxi’s face for a long moment before asking cautiously, "Xixi, the person who’s telling you all this inside information... is it a man?"

"Hm?"

Hearing Roy’s question, Yan Luoxi looked up at her.

After a moment of silence, she nodded. "Yes."

"This..."

Roy was instantly shocked. "Xixi, don’t tell me the person giving you the inside tips is your mysterious boyfriend?"

At these words, Yan Luoxi froze.

Then, an unnatural expression flickered across her face, but she quickly composed herself.

But!

Despite how subtle the change was, it didn’t escape Roy’s eyes.

’Holy crap!’

’It’s confirmed!’

’Ice Xi is actually in a relationship...’
