Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Yan Luoxi: I’m Not Alone Anymore, I Have My Damn Man...

He was right!

Yan Zhenbang knew that for Gu Yizhou to procure so much mother tea and the precious Tianshan Snow Swallow at once must have required an enormous amount of manpower and resources.

It couldn’t have been as easy as he made it sound.

Seeing this, Tang Wanfang, who was beside him, also nodded and smiled. "Yizhou, we’ve received your kind gesture. Thank you so much."

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou smiled and shook his head. "Uncle, Auntie, you’re being too polite. Xixi and I are truly in love. As a junior, it’s only right for me to bring these gifts on my first visit to your home."

Gu Yizhou’s words filled Yan Zhenbang and Tang Wanfang with warmth. Yan Zhenbang patted Gu Yizhou’s shoulder, his eyes showing his admiration. "Yizhou, we can all see your sincerity. Your auntie and I have no objections to your relationship with Xixi."

Tang Wanfang also smiled gently. "Yizhou, come visit more often when you’re free."

Gu Yizhou was overjoyed and quickly nodded in agreement. "Of course, Uncle, Auntie. I’ll definitely visit often."

"Oh, right. When you have the time, mention to your parents that our two families should get together."

Yan Zhenbang said after a moment of thought.

"Okay, Uncle. I’ll talk to my parents about it later."

Gu Yizhou said with a nod.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi, who had been listening quietly to their conversation, was ecstatic. Her eyes, fixed on Gu Yizhou, were filled with love.

As if sensing Yan Luoxi’s loving gaze, Gu Yizhou turned to look at her, his own eyes full of tenderness, and gently took her hand.

Watching the two of them exchange smiles, Yan Zhenbang and Tang Wanfang also felt a sense of relief.

They knew the two were truly in love and that their daughter had found her own love and happiness.

...

Just then, the family butler, Uncle Li, walked over.

"Master, Madam, the ingredients are ready."

He spoke to Yan Zhenbang and Tang Wanfang with great respect.

Hearing this, Tang Wanfang stood up and said, "Xiaogu, you two sit tight. I’m going to the kitchen to cook."

That was right.

Perhaps because of the misunderstanding about Gu Yizhou, or perhaps because it was his first visit, Tang Wanfang had decided to personally cook lunch for him to show how much she valued him.

Given the Yan Family’s status, they had a chef on staff.

Tang Wanfang rarely cooked herself.

Therefore, by cooking personally, Tang Wanfang was giving Gu Yizhou a great deal of face and showing her high regard for him.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou quickly stood up and insisted she not go to such trouble, but Tang Wanfang was firm. Gu Yizhou couldn’t press the issue further.

He had wanted to follow her and help, but both Tang Wanfang and Yan Zhenbang stopped him.

There was nothing he could do.

Gu Yizhou could only sit obediently and wait to be fed.

「Over an hour later.」

Lunch was over, but the warm atmosphere in the living room lingered.

Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi sat on the sofa, whispering to each other and exchanging flirtatious glances. It was obvious how good their relationship was.

Yan Zhenbang and Tang Wanfang sat on another sofa, occasionally exchanging a look. Both could see the satisfaction and relief in the other’s eyes.

「Around two in the afternoon.」

Yan Luoxi received a call. There was something at the company that needed her attention.

So, Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi prepared to leave.

Gu Yizhou spoke to Yan Zhenbang and Tang Wanfang, "Uncle, Auntie, we’ll head back to the company now. We’ll come visit again another day."

Yan Zhenbang nodded. "Alright, Yizhou. Drive safe on your way back."

Tang Wanfang added gently, "Yizhou, come over and hang out whenever you’re free."

Gu Yizhou smiled and nodded. After saying his goodbyes, he and Yan Luoxi turned and walked toward the door.

Yan Zhenbang and Tang Wanfang walked them to the villa’s entrance and waved goodbye.

After watching them drive away, the couple returned to the living room.

"Xixi seems really happy," Tang Wanfang said softly.

"She does! I don’t think I’ve ever seen our daughter this happy."

Yan Zhenbang also spoke up. "But it’s a good thing. That kid, Yizhou... I think he’s a good one. He’s polite, well-mannered, and treats Xixi well. With her together with him, we can rest a little easier."

Tang Wanfang agreed, "Yes, Xixi has found her happiness. I’m so happy for her."

On the way to the company, Yan Luoxi looked at Gu Yizhou, her eyes full of gratitude and tenderness.

"Thank you, Yizhou," Yan Luoxi said softly. "My mom’s attitude earlier wasn’t good. I’m sorry you had to go through that."

"You silly girl."

"There’s nothing to feel bad about. I understand why your mom felt that way. It was all a misunderstanding, and now it’s cleared up."

Gu Yizhou smiled. He kept one hand on the steering wheel and freed the other to take Yan Luoxi’s. "Besides, what’s a little trouble when I’ve stolen her precious daughter away? The most important thing is that I’d do anything for you."

Their hands clasped tightly as if, in that moment, their hearts were just as closely connected.

A warm feeling washed over Yan Luoxi as she listened to his words. Her eyes reddened slightly as she said softly, "Yizhou, you’re truly wonderful."

"I’m so lucky to have met you."

Gu Yizhou glanced at her, his eyes full of tenderness. "I’m the lucky one to have met you."

They looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with anticipation and happiness for the future.

「About half an hour later.」

The car slowly pulled into the underground parking garage of Tidal Group. The two walked hand-in-hand into Yan Luoxi’s exclusive CEO elevator.

Inside the elevator, Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi’s hands remained tightly clasped, neither willing to let go.

When they reached the floor for the finance department, Gu Yizhou spoke up, "Xixi, this is my stop."

Yan Luoxi nodded. "Okay, go on. I need to get back to work, too."

Gu Yizhou placed a gentle kiss on Yan Luoxi’s forehead, then stepped out of the elevator.

Yan Luoxi stood in the elevator, watching his departing figure, her heart filled with sweetness and anticipation.

The elevator doors slowly closed, but Yan Luoxi’s mood was as bright and warm as a spring day.

Every little thing he did, every word he said, made her feel incredibly happy and content.

...

DING~

The elevator doors slid open again.

Yan Luoxi stepped out and walked into the CEO’s office on the top floor of Tidal Group.

Despite being surrounded by busy colleagues and mountains of paperwork, Yan Luoxi’s heart was already with Gu Yizhou.

Yan Luoxi sat at her desk and took a deep breath, steadying her emotions.

Then she turned on her computer and started tackling the work at hand.

Despite the busy workload, Yan Luoxi felt more fulfilled and motivated than ever before.

She knew it was all because she had Gu Yizhou’s support and companionship.

’Before, I was all alone. Not anymore.’

’I have that fool of mine now...’
