Chapter 391: Dog Man: Mom, Listen to My Excuses…!!

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Dog Man: Mom, Listen to My Excuses...!!

Yan Luoxi never would have thought that the young Gu Yizhou looked so adorably goofy.

But!

’He still looked very cute, not at all like the jerk of a man he is now!’

Just as she was thinking this to herself, Gu Yizhou returned.

He saw Yan Luoxi holding his childhood family photo, a smile playing on her lips.

He understood immediately.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

"Good-looking?" Gu Yizhou asked, his face dark.

"Ah??"

Yan Luoxi was completely engrossed and was startled by Gu Yizhou’s sudden voice.

She was so startled she almost lost her grip and dropped the photo frame in her hands!

She turned to see Gu Yizhou, face still dark, staring at the photo frame in her hands.

Her face instantly flushed red.

Her little face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

"I... I didn’t... didn’t see anything," Yan Luoxi stammered.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

’Woman!’

’What’s that supposed to mean?!’

’What do you mean, you didn’t see anything?!’

Gu Yizhou was speechless.

His face grim, he said irritably, "That’s a bit insulting, you know! I was only two or three. How big could it have been?! I can show you the grown-up version! Just make sure you don’t cry when I do!"

Yan Luoxi: "..."

"N-No, thank you... I don’t want to see it right now..."

Yan Luoxi hurriedly put down the photo frame and waved her hands in refusal.

’This damn man, how can he say such shameless things!’ Yan Luoxi complained silently to herself.

Seeing Yan Luoxi’s shy expression, Gu Yizhou’s mischievous side emerged.

He deliberately walked slowly toward Yan Luoxi.

The distance between them shrank.

Yan Luoxi’s cool, beautiful face instantly flushed red all the way to the nape of her neck. Even her smooth, delicate skin was tinged with a rosy blush...

THUMP-THUMP-THUMP.

Yan Luoxi’s heart began to pound uncontrollably.

At such a close distance, Gu Yizhou could clearly see the fine pores on her face.

Their breaths tickled each other’s faces.

Yan Luoxi’s eyelashes trembled.

"You... I..."

Yan Luoxi was so nervous she was becoming incoherent.

She subconsciously took a step back, but right behind her was Gu Yizhou’s bed. She bumped into the bed frame, lost her footing, and fell backward uncontrollably onto the mattress.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou quickly reached out to catch her, but he was pulled down along with her onto the bed.

Yan Luoxi was on the bottom, and he was on top.

The position was, admittedly, a little...

For a moment, they just stared at each other, wide-eyed, neither of them processing what had happened.

Just then, the voice of Gu Yizhou’s mother, Chen Dongmei, came from the doorway.

"Son, we’re out of black vinegar. Could you go buy some—"

But her words were cut short, and her voice came to an abrupt halt.

Her eyes widened as she stared at Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi in the room.

Hearing the voice, Gu Yizhou looked back and saw his mother staring at him, eyes wide and mouth slightly agape in shock.

Yan Luoxi opened her eyes at that moment, only to see Chen Dongmei standing in the doorway, watching them.

Her already blushing face instantly turned a shade redder, like a cooked shrimp!

She was so embarrassed she didn’t know what to do.

’This is peak social suicide!’

"Er..."

"Sorry to interrupt. Please, continue..."

Chen Dongmei snapped out of it and spoke hurriedly. As she spoke, she backed out of the room, even remembering to close the door for them on her way out.

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou quickly called out, "Mom, it’s not what you think! Let me explain—"

However, Chen Dongmei could no longer hear him.

’What does she mean, ’please continue’?!’

Gu Yizhou: "..."

Having walked back to the living room, Chen Dongmei muttered to herself, "Before I knew it, my son’s all grown up..."

She had a very good impression of Yan Luoxi!

Even though her family was wealthy, she didn’t have the arrogance of a rich young heiress. She was always very polite when speaking to people.

The most important thing was that there was a light in her eyes when she looked at her son.

That was enough to prove she genuinely liked her little rascal.

’I have no idea what kind of dumb luck that rascal Gu Yizhou had to get such a wonderful girl like Yan Luoxi to fall for him,’ Chen Dongmei thought to herself.

Just then, Gu Zhenbang, who was sitting on the living room sofa, noticed his wife standing there, muttering something to herself.

Curious, he asked, "Dongmei, what are you muttering about over there?"

Hearing this, Chen Dongmei turned and glanced at her husband.

Then she leaned in and whispered in his ear...

...

「Meanwhile, in Gu Yizhou’s room.」

The two of them were still in the same position as before.

Both were staring at each other dumbfounded, completely stupefied.

Silence...

After a long moment, Gu Yizhou came to his senses.

He looked down at Yan Luoxi pinned beneath him and gave a wry smile. "So... I think my mom might have gotten the wrong idea...!"

"Ah?"

Yan Luoxi finally snapped out of it.

Hearing his words, she started to panic.

"W-What should I do?" Yan Luoxi asked, looking at Gu Yizhou with a pitiful expression.

"Er..."

"It’s okay. I’ll go explain it to her in a bit."

Gu Yizhou comforted her, "Don’t worry, my mom is very open-minded. Besides, we’re boyfriend and girlfriend. Let alone the fact that nothing happened, even if something *did*, it would be perfectly normal, right? So—don’t worry about it."

Yan Luoxi: "..."

’Jerk.’

’Is that how you comfort someone?!’

At that moment, Yan Luoxi’s mind was a complete mess.

On one hand, she was embarrassed and mortified. On the other, she was afraid Gu Yizhou’s mother would get a bad impression of her and think she was some kind of easy girl.

"Alright, it’s fine. Let’s go out," Gu Yizhou said softly. "Otherwise, my mom will really think we were doing something in here!"

Then, he and Yan Luoxi opened the door and walked out.

The two of them arrived in the living room. Just then, Chen Dongmei walked out of the kitchen, having just finished a phone call with her husband, Gu Jianguo.

"Mom, about what happened just now..."

Before Gu Yizhou could finish, Chen Dongmei cut him off.

"What happened just now?? What are you talking about??" she asked, her expression completely blank.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

He immediately saw through his mom’s act; she was pretending nothing had happened so that he and Yan Luoxi wouldn’t feel awkward.

"Alright, Mom, stop pretending!"

"I know what you’re thinking!"

"But what I want to say is, don’t let your imagination run wild. We just accidentally fell, and you happened to come by and see it... That’s all!"

"It was a simple misunderstanding. In broad daylight, nothing happened between us!" Gu Yizhou explained with a sigh of exasperation.

Chen Dongmei: "..."

"Really? That much of a coincidence?" she asked, looking skeptical.

Gu Yizhou: "..."
