Chapter 216: Legs for Days? Alone with That Damn Man for Overtime

Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Legs for Days? Alone with That Damn Man for Overtime

As Gu Yizhou headed downstairs.

Meanwhile, at the Binjiang No. 1 Mansion District.

Just then, Yan Luoxi had shifted back into her human form.

She glanced at the time and saw it was already around 9:30 in the morning.

’That damn man should be at the office by now.’ With this thought, Yan Luoxi hastily wrapped a blanket around herself, opened the door, and slipped back into apartment 306 next door.

Once she was back in her apartment, she started to wash up and get ready.

’Since it’s just me and that damn man today, I have to make a good impression.’

Then again, it wasn’t like her face needed much help.

After simply filling in her eyebrows and applying a light layer of makeup,

Yan Luoxi headed out.

...

At ten o’clock sharp.

Yan Luoxi arrived at the company building.

Since it was the weekend, the office was mostly empty.

However, there was still someone on duty at the front desk.

After all, visitors still came by even on weekends.

So someone had to be there to receive them.

The receptionist was visibly surprised to see Yan Luoxi.

She quickly greeted her, "President Yan, good morning."

Yan Luoxi gave her a glance and a slight nod.

Then she walked straight to the exclusive elevator and rode it up to the president’s office on the top floor.

’I wonder if that damn man is getting impatient,’

she muttered to herself.

As she spoke, she sent Gu Yizhou a WeChat message.

Meanwhile, in the finance department.

Gu Yizhou was sitting at his computer, boredly playing a game of Minesweeper.

BUZZ BUZZ—

His phone started to vibrate.

He glanced at it casually and saw it was a message from President Yan Luoxi.

BOOM~!

The momentary distraction cost him the game.

He shook his head, let go of the mouse, and picked up his phone to check the message.

President Yan Luoxi: Are you at the office yet? Come straight to the top-floor office.

Gu Yizhou read the message.

"Okay."

After sending the quick reply, he shut down his computer, grabbed his backpack, and headed upstairs.

...

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—

A few minutes later, a knock came from the door of the president’s office.

"President Yan, it’s Gu Yizhou."

Immediately after, Gu Yizhou’s voice was heard.

Hearing that damn man’s voice, Yan Luoxi, who had just finished tidying her desk, felt a surge of delight.

But she quickly composed herself and said coolly, "Mm... the door is unlocked. Come in."

Gu Yizhou pushed open the door and walked in.

Yan Luoxi felt her face flush. She wanted to speak, but her sudden nervousness left her at a loss for words.

Even though this wasn’t the first time she’d been with Gu Yizhou in her human form,

she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

As for her earlier threats about teaching that damn man a lesson once she got to the office? That was all completely forgotten, thrown to the back of her mind. Who could even remember wanting revenge on him now!

Gu Yizhou glanced at her.

Today, Yan Luoxi wasn’t in her usual business attire. Instead, she wore a black, high-necked dress.

The fabric looked thin, but of high quality.

’Her lower body was hidden by the desk, but it looked like she was either just wearing stockings... or nothing at all?’

Tsk~

’As expected of Modu’s most beautiful CEO.’

’Her sense of style is impressive.’

’But Gu Yizhou really wanted to ask her: Aren’t you cold dressed like that?’

Seeing Gu Yizhou looking at her, Yan Luoxi grew even more nervous.

Her hands were clasped behind her back, and with her perpetually cool, delicate expression, she still managed to look every bit the part of the ice queen CEO.

But in reality, her fair, smooth hands were busy twisting the hem of her dress behind her back!

Gu Yizhou didn’t feel it was right to keep staring.

He quickly averted his gaze. "Um... President Yan, should we get to work now, or wait a little?"

Gu Yizhou’s words snapped Yan Luoxi out of her daze.

She licked her lips and quickly said, "Go sit over there and wait for a moment. We can start after I finish sorting these files."

Gu Yizhou followed her gesture and paused, slightly stunned.

’She wants me to work at the same desk as her?’

Yan Luoxi’s desk was huge, sure.

’It was big enough for several people to work at together, but... weren’t there rumors that President Yan Luoxi was some kind of germaphobe?’

’Huh?’

’Wait, no!’

’That rumor can’t be right.’

’Because he suddenly remembered that time Yan Luoxi had gone with him to that hole-in-the-wall to eat bucket rice, and she had even freaking put her leftover meat into his bowl.’

’Damn, there’s no way a real germaphobe would ever do something like that, right?’

’So,’ Gu Yizhou concluded, ’the rumors must have been complete bullshit.’

He shook his head and said, "Alright, President Yan."

With that, Gu Yizhou walked over and sat down.

He then opened his backpack and took out a laptop.

’He wasn’t sure if he’d actually need it, but he had to at least look the part!’

’Otherwise, it’d be pretty awkward to just sit there doing nothing.’

...

Fortunately, Yan Luoxi didn’t make him wait long.

A few minutes later.

Yan Luoxi looked up at Gu Yizhou and said, "I just sent you a report on WeChat. Download it, take a look, and prepare an investment analysis for me."

Gu Yizhou had been spacing out, but Yan Luoxi’s voice brought him back.

"Oh, right. Okay,"

he said with a nod.

He then logged into WeChat on his laptop to download the file.

DING~

The moment WeChat logged in, a low battery notification popped up on his screen.

Gu Yizhou opened his backpack and pulled out his laptop charger.

’Uh...’

’Where’s the outlet?’

Gu Yizhou glanced around and saw the outlet was over by Yan Luoxi.

So he had no choice but to get up and walk over to her.

Yan Luoxi had been secretly watching him the whole time.

She was startled when he suddenly stood up and walked toward her.

"What’s wrong?"

she asked.

"My... my laptop’s dead. I need to plug it in,"

Gu Yizhou said, holding up his charging cable.

"Oh, right."

Hearing that, Yan Luoxi didn’t say anything else.

When Gu Yizhou came over, she even took the charger from him and bent down to plug it in.

When she stood back up,

Gu Yizhou finally got a look at her lower half.

"Hiss..."

The sight made him involuntarily suck in a sharp breath.

’Huh... black stockings?’

’Yes!’

’Today, Yan Luoxi was wearing black stockings...’

The sheer, soft black stockings clung tightly to Yan Luoxi’s slender, shapely legs, outlining their perfect curves.

Gu Yizhou had no idea what denier they were,

but the quality certainly looked top-notch.

’This... what man could possibly take this!’

Even a hopelessly straight guy like Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but stare for a few extra seconds.

’To be fair, her legs in those black stockings were a truly incredible sight!’

At that moment, Gu Yizhou finally understood what all those nerds online in his past life meant when they talked about "legs for days."
