Chapter 202: Yan Luoxi’s Embarrassment! That Damn Man Wouldn’t Think I Did It on Purpose, Would He?

Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Yan Luoxi’s Embarrassment! That Damn Man Wouldn’t Think I Did It on Purpose, Would He?

’We can come back again?’

Gu Yizhou stared blankly at Yan Luoxi.

’I didn’t mishear her, did I?’

’She definitely said *we* can come back again next time, not *I* can come back again next time, right?’

Yan Luoxi noticed Gu Yizhou’s odd expression and realized she had just misspoken.

But there was no way she would admit her mistake now.

’Wouldn’t that just be giving myself away?!’

So she kept her expression completely deadpan, as if she hadn’t said a word.

’Anyway, as long as I’m not embarrassed, the only one who’s going to be embarrassed is that jerk!’

"I’ll go pay the bill."

Yan Luoxi said.

Without waiting for a reply from Gu Yizhou, she stood up and walked straight to the counter to pay.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou didn’t try to argue with her.

’Anyway, the woman’s loaded. This little bit of money is nothing to her.’

’I’m not one to turn down a free meal.’

A moment later, Yan Luoxi returned.

But the expression on her face wasn’t quite right.

Gu Yizhou paused, slightly taken aback.

’What’s with that look on her face?’

’Holy shit!’

’Don’t tell me she thought the hot pot was too expensive?’

’She can’t be that stingy, can she?!’

"President Yan, what’s wrong?"

he asked, a hint of confusion in his voice.

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi’s face turned red, and her expression grew very awkward.

She hesitated, then said sheepishly, "Um... well... I forgot my wallet."

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou froze.

’What the hell?’

"What about your phone?"

The question slipped out before he could stop himself.

"My... my phone service is cut off..."

Yan Luoxi bit her lip, her face flushing in embarrassment.

"Oh, right."

It clicked for Gu Yizhou. "No problem," he said. "I’ll get it."

With that, he stood up and went to the front counter to pay.

’I’d better go before she decides to kill me to silence me.’

’Can’t be helped.’

’After all, I just witnessed my own boss in a totally embarrassing situation. It’s only natural she’d want to shut me up for good.’

’So I have to play this smart.’

Watching Gu Yizhou’s retreating back, Yan Luoxi bit her lip, a complicated look in her eyes.

’Why do I always make a fool of myself in front of that jerk?!’

SIGH.

’I wonder what that jerk thinks of me now.’

’He doesn’t think I did it on purpose to get out of paying, does he?’

’He wouldn’t, right?’

’Ugh!’

’This is so frustrating!’

SOB...

Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but feel a surge of anxiety and insecurity.

...

「A few minutes later.」

In the parking lot, Yan Luoxi and Gu Yizhou were settled in the car.

"President Yan, so... are we heading straight back to the office, or...?"

Gu Yizhou asked as he turned his head, having already fastened his seatbelt.

He was tactful enough not to mention the incident, acting as if nothing had happened.

"Huh?"

It was Yan Luoxi’s turn to be a bit spaced out.

"We still have some time. Let’s head to a dealership first,"

she said after a moment of thought.

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou was confused but didn’t press the issue.

He asked, "So... President Yan, which dealership?"

"Let’s go to the one closest to the office."

Yan Luoxi added after a moment, "You know how to get there, right?"

"I think I have a vague idea."

Gu Yizhou replied, "It’s fine. If I can’t find it, I’ll just use the navigation."

"Okay. Thanks."

Yan Luoxi nodded.

Gu Yizhou shook his head and said no more.

He started the car.

ROAR!

The engine of the flashy red Ferrari roared to life.

The car quickly vanished from the parking lot...

「Twenty minutes later.」

"Welcome!"

"Hello, sir, ma’am. Are you here to look at some cars today?"

A saleswoman with long legs, dressed in a professional uniform and black stockings, greeted them with a practiced, plastic smile.

"Yes."

Yan Luoxi gave a curt nod.

Her earlier awkwardness was gone, replaced by the unmistakable aura of a domineering CEO.

The saleswoman then respectfully ushered Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi inside.

"Hello, sir. May I have your name?"

"Oh, my surname is Gu."

Gu Yizhou replied.

"Hello, Mr. Gu. What type of car are you looking for today?"

the saleswoman said deferentially to Gu Yizhou.

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou paused, then pointed to Yan Luoxi beside him and said to the saleswoman, "Oh, I’m not the one buying a car. My boss, President Yan, is."

The saleswoman looked momentarily embarrassed.

But she was a consummate professional. Her smile immediately snapped back into place as she turned to Yan Luoxi. "My apologies, President Yan. Hello. What kind of car are you interested in seeing?"

"Do you have any decent SUVs?"

Yan Luoxi asked casually.

"President Yan, we carry several of the world’s most popular SUV models, including the Land Rover Defender, Jeep Wrangler, Hummer H2, and Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Is there any particular model you’d like to see?"

the saleswoman listed.

"Oh, I’ll take a look at all of them,"

Yan Luoxi said offhandedly.

"Of course. President Yan, Mr. Gu, right this way, please."

The saleswoman then led Yan Luoxi and Gu Yizhou deeper into the showroom.

"President Yan, this model right here is the Hummer H2. It boasts a powerful, naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 engine.

It’s ranked number one on many ’Top Ten True Off-Road Vehicles’ lists. As you know, the Hummer brand is synonymous with being indestructible and unbeatable off-road. True to its name, the H2 has incredible off-road performance and climbing capabilities.

Its top ranking is definitely well-deserved..."

The saleswoman was an eloquent speaker and had clearly done her homework, providing a detailed introduction for the pair.

Yan Luoxi studied the black Hummer H2. It had a very aggressive, imposing exterior.

’Men probably love this kind of car.’

’But the chassis and interior are very basic and rugged. On a long road trip, a man might be fine, but a woman would probably get very uncomfortable after a while.’

’If that jerk were driving me on a long trip in the future, this car wouldn’t be very suitable.’

At this thought, her pretty brows knitted together slightly.

After a moment of deliberation, she turned to the saleswoman. "Do you have anything with a powerful engine but a more comfortable ride?"

"If you’re looking for power and comfort, President Yan, I would recommend the Mercedes-Benz G63 and the Toyota Land Cruiser. Both models have plenty of power, but they also feature exquisite interiors that don’t compromise on ride comfort,"

the saleswoman recommended thoughtfully.

’A G-Wagen?’

’In his past life, the Mercedes G-Wagen had been one of Gu Yizhou’s favorite cars.’

’The G-Wagen might not have been the best to drive, but it was definitely one of the flashiest cars out there.’

’Then again, he eventually stopped driving it, leaving it to collect dust in the garage.’

’That was mainly because people online started hyping it up, claiming the G-Wagen was the official car of scumbags.’

’All those internet-famous clowns would rent them to pick up girls and show off.’

’They took a perfectly good car and completely ruined its image.’

’Gu Yizhou had been disgusted by it. What right did those internet beggars have to be driving the same car as him?’
