Chapter 213: Gu Yizhou: Holy Crap! The CEO Likes Me?

Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Gu Yizhou: Holy Crap! The CEO Likes Me?

An image of a person suddenly flashed through Gu Yizhou’s mind.

His boss, Yan Luoxi...

’Yes!’

For some unknown reason, Gu Yizhou found himself thinking of his boss, Yan Luoxi.

To be fair, though, his boss Yan Luoxi’s looks were absolutely impeccable.

If he were to really rank them, Gu Yizhou felt her looks surpassed both his cousin Fan Sisi and the campus belle, Su Qianqian.

Her cool, aloof "ice queen" demeanor, in particular, added greatly to her charm.

Her figure was also incredible—curvy in all the right places.

Of course.

If it was just a competition of "headlights," if Fan Sisi claimed to be number two, no one would dare claim to be number one!

As for Su Qianqian... she had the looks and the figure...

’Ugh... never mind, let’s not even go there!’

But his boss, Yan Luoxi, was what you’d call perfectly proportioned—the golden ratio. That was far more attractive to men.

’To be honest,’

’if I had to choose one of the three, I’d be more inclined to pick my boss, Yan Luoxi...’

’No, no, no!’

’What the hell am I thinking?!’

’Having fantasies about my own boss, of all people.’

Gu Yizhou shook his head slightly, trying to banish the chaotic thoughts from his mind.

Little did he know, the very "ice queen" he was fantasizing about—his boss, Yan Luoxi—was currently on his back, diligently giving him a massage!

In any case.

He had ultimately rejected Fan Sisi’s confession.

But after his rejection, Fan Sisi hadn’t seemed the least bit sad or discouraged.

She insisted that while rejecting her was his right, liking him was hers.

She even said she wouldn’t just keel over and die... er, give up so easily.

In the end, she’d stubbornly dragged both him and Chen Dongyuan into drinking quite a lot with her.

Even after she got drunk, she kept muttering about how much she liked Gu Yizhou.

’What a stubborn girl!’

’And that was the root of his problem!’

First, there was the campus belle Su Qianqian acting like this, and now his "D-Cup powerhouse" of a cousin, Fan Sisi.

Neither of them was the type to give up, no matter what.

*Sigh...*

’The affections of a beautiful woman have always been the hardest burden to bear!’

’It’s such a headache!’

’Honestly, I just want to ask them, what is it you even like about me?!’

’Tell me what it is, and I’ll change it, alright?!’

But if he actually said that out loud, he’d just sound like an obnoxious jerk.

In the end, Gu Yizhou could only remain silent.

’Oh, right.’

’Speaking of my boss, Yan Luoxi...’

Gu Yizhou suddenly remembered the Mercedes G-Wagon.

’I somehow ended up with a car worth millions for free.’

’Could it be... that my boss, Yan Luoxi, likes me too?’

The thought suddenly struck him.

It was a pretty narcissistic thought, he had to admit.

But after getting a confession today, he suddenly felt it wasn’t entirely out of the question!

’A car worth millions!’

’Given away, just like that.’

’She said it was because my suggestion saved the company from significant losses.’

’But!’

’Thinking about it now, that reason seems pretty far-fetched!’

’Now that I think about it, I can’t believe I bought such a bullshit excuse!’

Still, Gu Yizhou found it hard to believe.

’My boss, Yan Luoxi, likes me?’

’But why?’

’I don’t even know her that well!’

’In terms of interaction, we’ve only met a few times recently!’

’Before that, I’d barely even seen her!’

’There’s no reason for her to like me!’

’Uh...’

’No, wait.’

’I haven’t seen or interacted with Fan Sisi many times either, yet she suddenly confessed to me today.’

’Could my boss, Yan Luoxi, be the same...?’

’Honestly.’

’If my boss, Yan Luoxi, confessed to me... should I say yes?’

The thought suddenly popped into Gu Yizhou’s head.

’Hm?’

At this thought, he was so startled that he shot up from the sofa.

In that unguarded moment, with a "THUD," Yan Luoxi, who had been diligently kneading on his back, was sent flying onto the floor.

"Meeoow?"

Yan Luoxi was completely stunned by the fall.

She wore an expression that said, ’Who am I? Where am I?’

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou finally snapped out of it.

"Ah?"

"Sorry about that, Xiaobai."

"I just got carried away for a second, got carried away!"

He turned to look at the dazed-looking kitty on the floor, his face a mask of embarrassment.

"Ahem."

He cleared his throat and hurriedly scooped the cat up from the floor.

Yan Luoxi: "?"

By now, she had come to her senses.

She stared at Gu Yizhou in disbelief.

’This damn man.’

’You’re a real piece of work!’

’Seriously!’

’How many times have you thrown me on the floor now?!’

Yan Luoxi was furious.

She arched her back, her tail shooting straight up!

"HISS—"

She hissed angrily at Gu Yizhou.

"Xiaobai, you didn’t get hurt, did you?"

Gu Yizhou said awkwardly, stroking her little head.

"Meeeow~!"

’What do you think!’

’You damn man!’

Yan Luoxi meowed angrily at him.

Gu Yizhou knew he was in the wrong, so he was too embarrassed to say anything more.

"There, there, Xiaobai. It’s okay, it’s okay. Daddy didn’t do it on purpose."

He could only hold Xiaobai in his arms, stroking her little head to soothe her.

...

After a long time of coaxing, he finally managed to placate the kitty.

"Phew..."

Gu Yizhou breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the cat was no longer baring its fangs at him.

’Even a pet is this hard to placate!’

’If I had a girlfriend, wouldn’t she be even harder to appease?’

A moment ago, he had been wondering whether he should say yes if his boss, Yan Luoxi, really did like him and confessed.

After all, if he really had to choose, he probably would have picked Yan Luoxi.

He did have a bit of a crush on her, after all.

’But now... it takes this long to calm down an angry pet. If Yan Luoxi got angry, wouldn’t all hell break loose?’

The mere thought gave Gu Yizhou a headache.

’Looks like being single is the way to go!’

’No one to boss you around, no one to appease. Total freedom!’

he thought to himself.

Naturally, Yan Luoxi had no idea what was going through this damn man’s head.

If she knew that her current behavior was the very reason this jerk was now scared of dating...

...she would probably burst into tears!

He shook his head.

Gu Yizhou glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already 10:30 PM.

It was time to take a shower.

Normally, he definitely wouldn’t be showering this early.

But not today.

That afternoon, he had received a text from his boss, Yan Luoxi, telling him to come into the office tomorrow morning to work overtime. She said there was a project she needed him to prepare an analysis report for.

’So I have to get up early again tomorrow!’

Honestly, if anyone else had told him to work overtime, he would’ve refused without a second thought.

But!

The person asking him to work overtime was none other than the company president, Yan Luoxi herself!

’What could I do?’

’I just accepted a multi-million-dollar car from her today.’

’There’s no way I can refuse now!’

’It’s just as the old saying goes: once you accept a gift, it’s hard to say no.’

’The ancients were not wrong!’
