Chapter 246: ’Mink Coat’ Yan Luoxi? Gu Yizhou: Just What I Was Afraid Of

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: ’Mink Coat’ Yan Luoxi? Gu Yizhou: Just What I Was Afraid Of

Right now, all Yan Luoxi wanted to do was run to her room and hide to calm herself down.

But she was also worried that damn man would come out of the bathroom and not be able to find her.

’Forget it.’

’I’ll just wait for him here, then.’

...

Soon, the sound of a toilet flushing came from the bathroom.

Immediately after, Gu Yizhou came out.

He walked over to the sofa, drying his hands.

Seeing that the cat had already come out from under the sofa, he shook his head helplessly.

’I really don’t know what to do with this silly little cat!’

"Xiaobai, you little rascal, you decided to come out, huh?"

Gu Yizhou walked over, ruffled Yan Luoxi’s little head, and said, "Is it really that hard to get you to come to the bathroom with me? Jeez!"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi didn’t feel much of anything.

But when she remembered that this was the very hand that damn man had used to hold... it, a strange feeling bubbled up inside her.

Yan Luoxi quickly shook herself free of those chaotic thoughts.

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

So he said, "Alright, Xiaobai, it’s getting late. Daddy’s going to take a shower. You can lie on the sofa for a bit."

’Go on, then.’

’I’ll wait for you.’

’As long as he doesn’t ask me to join him, I’m fine with it!’

Yan Luoxi glanced at Gu Yizhou, thinking to herself.

...

They say guys are super fast when they shower.

But Gu Yizhou was an exception.

He always took at least twenty minutes.

But! This time, Yan Luoxi didn’t have to wait long before she saw Gu Yizhou walk out of the bathroom, drying his hair.

Uh...

’This must be the fastest shower that damn man has ever taken.’

she thought.

Of course, Gu Yizhou had no idea what she was thinking.

After drying his hair, he walked over and scooped the cat right up.

"Come on, Xiaobai, let’s go lie down in bed."

Gu Yizhou tapped the cat’s small, pink nose and said with a smile.

With that, he carried her back to the room.

Every time she was nestled in Gu Yizhou’s arms, Yan Luoxi felt a great sense of security.

She subconsciously nuzzled her little head against Gu Yizhou’s chin.

Feeling the nuzzle, Gu Yizhou looked down, and a faint smile spread across his lips.

After closing the bedroom door, Gu Yizhou climbed into bed, still holding the cat.

He pulled the blanket down a bit, then placed Xiaobai on his chest.

So fluffy and warm.

’A natural fur coat!’

’No wonder people from the Northeast love wearing mink coats. They really are so warm.’

"Xiaobai, it’s so nice having you."

Gu Yizhou reached out to pet the cat’s little head and said.

’This...’

’That damn man.’

’Is this... a confession?’

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but feel a little shy.

She couldn’t resist nuzzling the palm of Gu Yizhou’s hand again.

However! If she knew that the only reason Gu Yizhou had said that was because he was treating her like a "mink coat," she probably would have flown into a rage and bitten that damn man to death on the spot.

Afterward, the man and cat played for a little while longer before Gu Yizhou put down his phone, ready to sleep.

’Early to bed, early to rise, keeps you healthy.’

After all, he had to go to work tomorrow.

"Good night, Xiaobai."

Gu Yizhou turned his head to the cat lying beside him and spoke.

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi meowed back, thinking to herself, ’Good night, you damn man.’

CLICK!

Gu Yizhou pressed the switch for the bedside lamp.

In an instant, the entire room was plunged into darkness.

In the darkness, Yan Luoxi turned her head and gazed deeply at Gu Yizhou, as if trying to etch his image into her mind so she could dream of him later.

...

「The night passed uneventfully.」

「Early the next morning.」

Gu Yizhou slowly woke from his sleep.

Perhaps he was afraid the cat would sneak off again while he was asleep.

The first thing Gu Yizhou did upon opening his eyes was, as usual, to reach out and feel for the cat beside him.

Only when he felt the cat’s soft body would he feel at ease.

This time, as expected, Xiaobai was still there.

"Morning, Xiaobai."

Gu Yizhou turned and petted Yan Luoxi’s head with a smile.

"Meow."

Yan Luoxi was also awake by now, and she instinctively stretched.

Gu Yizhou was no longer surprised by the cat’s very human-like actions.

After all, his cat was indeed a bit smarter than others.

With a small smile, Gu Yizhou grabbed Xiaobai, placed her on his chest, and began squishing her into all sorts of shapes.

Gu Yizhou didn’t let her go until Xiaobai was on the verge of getting angry and puffing up her fur.

This made Yan Luoxi furious.

’You damn mutt.’

’You’d probably feel sick if you went one day without acting like a dog, wouldn’t you?!’

If she weren’t so attached to him, she really would have bitten this damned guy to death.

...

After lazing in bed for a few more minutes, Gu Yizhou got up to wash his face and brush his teeth.

Yan Luoxi had to wait for Gu Yizhou to leave before she could turn back into a human, so she couldn’t be bothered to get up either.

After Gu Yizhou got up, she crawled over to his spot and lay down.

It was toasty warm and very comfortable.

Most importantly, she could still smell that damn man’s unique scent.

Yan Luoxi half-closed her eyes, savoring the moment.

...

At 8:10 AM, Gu Yizhou left for work.

Hearing the door close, Yan Luoxi groggily opened her eyes.

Sticking out her two little paws to rub her eyes, Yan Luoxi realized she had fallen asleep again at some point.

...

At 8:50 AM, Gu Yizhou arrived at the office.

He sat down at his workstation and turned on his computer.

His busybody colleague, He Mingyi, had arrived even earlier than him today.

Seeing him arrive, He Mingyi sidled over with a grin and said, "Congratulations, Brother Zhou!"

"Hm?"

’What the hell?’

Gu Yizhou shot him a bewildered look.

"It’s about the ’CFA’ professional investment analysis group!"

He Mingyi said, but seeing that Gu Yizhou still looked completely lost, he looked at him and said, "Uh... don’t tell me you haven’t checked your company email yet?"

"Why would I check my company email for no reason?"

Gu Yizhou frowned. "What’s wrong? Is the list out?"

"Yep."

"From our Group 3, only Leader Chen and you, Brother Zhou, were selected for the list. That’s why I’m congratulating you!"

"Hehehe..."

He Mingyi said with a chuckle.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

’My worst fears have been realized, huh?’

’What kind of bullshit is this?’

At this moment, Gu Yizhou was completely speechless.

’Huh...?’

’Wasn’t it a given that he’d be on the list?’

’Why does he look so unhappy about it?’

Seeing Gu Yizhou frowning and looking none too pleased, He Mingyi was thoroughly confused.

However, he didn’t dare say anything more.

He silently turned back to his own work, giving Gu Yizhou some space.

’Can’t be helped.’

After learning that the relationship between Gu Yizhou and President Yan was anything but ordinary, he wouldn’t dare offend this "big shot" anymore!
