Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Yan Luoxi: I Can’t Hide Becoming a Cat Anymore

Gu Yizhou snapped back to reality and pulled his phone from his pocket. He glanced at it and saw a call from an unknown number.

Huh?

He paused for a moment, furrowed his brow, and then answered the call...

"Hello?"

Gu Yizhou said into the phone.

"Mr. G-Gu, hello. I’m President Yan’s assistant, Bai Jie."

The young assistant, Bai Jie, said from the other end of the line.

To be honest, she really didn’t know what to call Gu Yizhou all of a sudden.

So she had to settle for calling him Mr. Gu.

"Oh..."

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou paused again, feeling very confused.

’Why is Bai Jie calling me?’

’Could Xixi have asked her to contact me?’

This thought crossed Gu Yizhou’s mind, so he asked, "Assistant Bai, what’s going on? Is there something you need?"

"Mr. Gu, it’s like this, President Yan, she..."

The young assistant, Bai Jie, started to explain from the other end of the line.

When Gu Yizhou heard it was about Yan Luoxi, his heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "What happened to Xixi? Is something wrong with her?"

"Uh..."

Her words were cut off, and she froze for a second.

When she processed what he’d said, she was even more stunned!

’Xixi...’

’Holy crap!’

’Is that what he calls President Yan?’

’Wait a minute.’

’Am I even allowed to hear him call her that?’

"HUUUFF..."

Bai Jie took a deep breath, trying her best to make her voice sound calm. "Mr. Gu, President Yan is fine. She asked me to contact you and let you know that she was pulled into a last-minute meeting. She said not to worry, and that she’ll contact you tomorrow."

Hearing Bai Jie’s words, Gu Yizhou felt the tension in his chest ease slightly.

"Oh, I see. That’s good."

He let out a soft sigh of relief, and a great deal of his worry dissipated.

"Mm... I understand. Thank you, Assistant Bai."

Gu Yizhou said gently to Bai Jie on the other end of the line.

"Of course, Mr. Gu. No need to thank me. I’m just doing my job."

Bai Jie replied.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yizhou’s mood lightened a bit.

He knew about Yan Luoxi’s status, and he also knew that phones weren’t allowed in some meetings.

So, hearing that she was okay, Gu Yizhou felt much more relieved.

Shaking his head, he turned, closed the door to room 306, and then walked back to room 305.

He took out his key and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Gu Yizhou saw the cat nestled on the sofa.

At that moment, Yan Luoxi was also looking at him, her heart filled with apprehension.

’That damn man... he hasn’t found out, has he?’

’I wonder if Assistant Bai has contacted him yet.’

As Yan Luoxi was thinking this, Gu Yizhou closed the door, changed his shoes, and walked over.

Yan Luoxi didn’t move, just watched him quietly.

Gu Yizhou came over and plopped down on the sofa.

He reached out, picked up the cat, and said, "Xiaobai, oh Xiaobai, tell me, how did you get into the room next door?"

"?"

"Meeeoow!"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi meowed at him.

’Damn man.’

’How do you expect me to explain this?’

’Besides, even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand cat-speak right now, would you?’

For a moment, Yan Luoxi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Uh...

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou gave a self-deprecating laugh.

’It was a pointless question. Xiaobai was just a cat; how could it possibly answer me?’

Shaking his head, Gu Yizhou didn’t give it any more thought.

He glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already past 6:50, almost seven in the evening.

First he’d rushed back to the company, then he’d hurried back home.

After all that running around, he was getting a little hungry.

’Oh well.’

’I’ll just order some takeout.’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

So, he held the cat, took out his phone, and started ordering takeout.

Although he was a little worried about Yan Luoxi, he also understood that she was busy right now and he shouldn’t disturb her.

A short while later, Gu Yizhou finished ordering some food and put down his phone.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi, cradled in his arms, couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Gu Yizhou wasn’t dwelling on how she had appeared in the room next door.

’Looks like Assistant Bai contacted that damn man after all.’

’Otherwise, that damn man would definitely still be looking for me.’

she thought to herself.

’But!’

’Given the situation, that damn man must be at least a little suspicious by now.’

’Looks like I won’t be able to hide my situation for much longer.’

Yan Luoxi decided to wait and see. If her situation didn’t change after a while...

...if worse came to worst, she planned to just confess everything to Gu Yizhou.

After all, if things went on like this, she was worried Gu Yizhou would start overthinking things.

If Gu Yizhou suspected her and broke up with her, that was something she couldn’t accept.

Better to just be honest with him than to break up with Gu Yizhou over this.

’What if Gu Yizhou doesn’t mind that I turn into a cat?’

In that moment, countless thoughts ran through Yan Luoxi’s mind...

Gu Yizhou was also lost in thought at this time, so he didn’t notice the change in the eyes of the cat in his arms.

However!

Even if he had seen it, he probably wouldn’t have thought much of it.

After all, there was no way he could ever imagine that the cat in his arms was his girlfriend, Yan Luoxi!

Soon, the takeout was delivered.

After finishing his food, Gu Yizhou first changed the cat’s food and water, then played with the cat for a while.

Alright!

To be fair, it was mostly him playing with the cat, not the other way around.

And so, Gu Yizhou petted the cat while waiting for Yan Luoxi to contact him.

Time passed without him realizing it, and late into the night, Yan Luoxi still hadn’t called.

Gu Yizhou looked at the time. It was already past eleven at night.

He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he decided not to contact Yan Luoxi himself.

’I’ll wait until tomorrow. I’ll contact her at the company then.’

"Xiaobai, Daddy’s going to take a shower. When Daddy’s done, we’ll go to sleep, okay?"

Gu Yizhou said to Xiaobai, who was beside him.

With that, he got up and went to take a shower.

...

「The next day.」

Early morning.

5:30 AM.

At this hour, the sky had not yet fully lightened.

Yan Luoxi groggily opened her eyes. She reached up to rub them, then turned her head to look beside her.

She saw Gu Yizhou lying on his side, one hand tucked under his head and the other resting on her waist, sleeping soundly.

’Uh-oh...’

’Crap!’

’I changed back into a human early again today?!’

Yan Luoxi was startled!

Thankfully, Gu Yizhou hadn’t woken up yet.

Drawing on her experience from the last few times, Yan Luoxi gently reached out, lifted Gu Yizhou’s hand off her waist, and then carefully slipped out of bed.

Standing at the bedroom door, Yan Luoxi glanced back at the still soundly sleeping Gu Yizhou.

Looking at Gu Yizhou’s sleeping face, her heart was filled with a mix of emotions.

After gently closing the bedroom door, Yan Luoxi lightened her steps, tiptoeing over to the living room sofa.

She grabbed a blanket from the sofa, wrapped it around her flawless body, and then opened the door and left.
