Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Yan Luoxi: You jerk, I want to go public with our relationship

Yan Luoxi suddenly remembered something. She turned to Gu Yizhou and asked softly, "Jerk... I mean, Yizhou, how do you think I did today? I wasn’t rude or anything, was I?"

Gu Yizhou turned and looked into her nervous, expectant eyes. He smiled and said, "No, you did wonderfully. My parents both really like you, so don’t worry."

"Phew..."

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi let out a sigh of relief, a radiant smile blooming on her face.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Yizhou chuckled but said no more, focusing on driving.

Yan Luoxi, meanwhile, turned to look out the car window.

Watching the ever-changing scenery recede, Yan Luoxi’s mood lifted.

She felt that today’s meeting had been a great success. For one, she had earned the approval of that jerk of a man’s parents, and for another, her relationship with him had grown even more solid.

However, she hadn’t forgotten about the fact that she turns into a cat.

She knew she had to keep trying and find a permanent solution to her problem as soon as possible if she wanted to have a lasting future with Gu Yizhou.

Otherwise, it was only a matter of time before he found out.

After all, she was well aware that the truth will always come out.

Yan Luoxi took a deep breath, her resolve hardening. She understood that whether it was for Gu Yizhou’s sake or for their future together, she had to find a solution to her cat-transformation problem as soon as possible.

In the quiet atmosphere of the car, Yan Luoxi’s thoughts drifted far away.

She considered various possible avenues, like searching for ancient books or consulting with elders who understood mystical forces.

She had already secretly hired experts from overseas to research this kind of supernatural phenomenon.

But that was far from enough!

She even considered whether she should publicly offer a high reward for more professional research institutions to gather studies on the topic, but she hesitated, worried her secret would be exposed.

However, no matter which path she chose, Yan Luoxi knew it would be a difficult challenge.

She would not only have to face unknown difficulties but also various potential risks.

But she didn’t feel scared or want to back down. On the contrary, her heart was filled with firmness and resolve.

The car drove steadily down the highway, the scenery outside constantly changing.

At some point, Gu Yizhou’s hand once again found and held Yan Luoxi’s.

Feeling his warmth and strength, Yan Luoxi’s heart instantly filled with happiness and sweetness.

She knew that as long as Gu Yizhou was by her side, she would have the courage to face and overcome any difficulty or challenge.

She believed that one day, she would definitely find a way to solve her cat-transformation problem and walk into a happy future with Gu Yizhou.

...

「Half an hour later.」

Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi returned to Tidal Group.

In the first basement level of the underground parking garage, Gu Yizhou slowly brought the car to a stop, turned to Yan Luoxi, and said, "We’re here."

"Huh?"

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s voice, Yan Luoxi finally snapped back to reality.

"Oh, oh, okay."

She glanced at her surroundings and nodded.

Then, she unbuckled her seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and got out.

Gu Yizhou followed right behind her, and they walked together toward Yan Luoxi’s private CEO elevator.

The elevator doors slid open slowly. They stepped inside, and Gu Yizhou pressed the button for their floor.

Inside the elevator car, the two stood side by side, the atmosphere serene and peaceful.

Yan Luoxi looked at the reflection of Gu Yizhou’s handsome profile in the elevator’s mirrored walls, a warm feeling swelling in her heart.

Gu Yizhou seemed to sense her gaze. He turned to her and asked with a smile, "Luoxi, what are you thinking about?"

Yan Luoxi snapped out of her daze and shook her head lightly. "Nothing, just thinking about work."

She didn’t want to bring up the cat transformation too much, lest she scare Gu Yizhou or put pressure on him.

Most importantly, Yan Luoxi didn’t want Gu Yizhou to worry about her.

Gu Yizhou didn’t press the issue. He respected Yan Luoxi’s privacy and trusted her to handle her own affairs.

He gently squeezed her hand, giving her silent comfort and encouragement.

As they were walking, Yan Luoxi suddenly remembered something. She stopped in her tracks and looked at Gu Yizhou, saying, "Yizhou, there’s something I want to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

Gu Yizhou asked with a small smile.

Yan Luoxi took a deep breath and said, "I want to go public with our relationship."

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou was stunned for a moment.

’Go public with their relationship?’

After the initial shock, Gu Yizhou didn’t speak immediately.

Seeing the serious expression on Yan Luoxi’s face, Gu Yizhou knew she was serious and not joking.

He had always respected Yan Luoxi’s thoughts, which was why he had never brought the subject up himself.

In truth, Gu Yizhou didn’t really care whether they went public or not.

However, even though he didn’t mind either way, he was still happy to hear Yan Luoxi bring it up.

"Hmm... Xixi, I have no objections."

Gu Yizhou asked softly, his voice gentle, "But... are you sure you want to go public with our relationship?"

"Mhm."

Yan Luoxi nodded firmly and said, "We’ve both met each other’s parents. I think we can go public now. Besides, I want more people to know that you are my, Yan Luoxi’s, boyfriend."

"Alright. If you’ve made up your mind, then let’s go public."

Gu Yizhou said softly.

After speaking, he reached out and held her hand tightly.

Their fingers intertwined,

Their eyes, as they looked at each other, sparkled with love and happiness.

They both knew this was a symbol of their relationship taking another step forward, and the beginning of them facing the future together.

They knew the road ahead was long, but as long as they supported each other, they could overcome any obstacle and welcome the happy future that belonged to them.

DING~

The elevator doors opened.

They had arrived at the CEO’s office on the top floor.

The two exchanged a smile and walked out of the elevator hand in hand.

They walked side by side into Yan Luoxi’s office.

Inside the office, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the entire space feel spacious and bright.

Yan Luoxi walked to her desk, sat down, turned on her computer, and began to handle some urgent work.

Gu Yizhou felt a little bored, so he walked over to the massive floor-to-ceiling windows and gazed at the distant skyscrapers. His mind, however, was occupied with thoughts of how he could better support Yan Luoxi and help her work more smoothly.

He knew Yan Luoxi was an incredibly capable woman. After all, her ability to develop Tidal Group into a hundred-billion-dollar corporation in just a few short years was proof enough of her skills.

And if their relationship were to be made public, it would undoubtedly affect the group’s stock price.

Yan Luoxi might not care, but Gu Yizhou had to.

As Yan Luoxi’s boyfriend, if the company lost money, he had to find a way to earn it back for her!

Because—he was going to be Yan Luoxi’s strongest pillar of support.
