Chapter 403: Yan Luoxi’s Compensation? First Time...

Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Yan Luoxi’s Compensation? First Time...

In the bedroom of Room 306.

"Sigh..."

Yan Luoxi let out a soft sigh as she gazed at her naked reflection in the mirror.

’When will days like this ever end!’

...

She shook her head in resignation, then quickly grabbed a fresh set of clothes from the closet and put them on.

After turning her phone on, a huge pile of messages and missed calls popped up, just as she’d expected.

Most of them were calls and messages from that damn man of hers!

She could only imagine how worried he must have been about her yesterday.

Yan Luoxi’s heart filled with a mix of gratitude and guilt.

And so, she decided she would make it up to him today...

As for how she’d make it up to him, an idea had already formed in her mind.

...

「8:00 AM」

After washing up, Yan Luoxi put on some light makeup.

Gazing at her reflection, she nodded in satisfaction.

Then, she got up, grabbed a few things from her kitchen, and headed out the door.

However, she didn’t go downstairs. Instead, she went straight to Room 305 next door.

She took a spare key she’d secretly had made from her purse and unlocked the door.

Once inside, Yan Luoxi walked straight to the kitchen. She set down the milk, bread, and other things she was carrying and began to prepare breakfast.

That’s right!

Yan Luoxi was planning to make Gu Yizhou breakfast as a surprise.

As for how she got in, that was simple enough.

She could easily come up with an excuse to explain it away.

’I wonder if that man of mine will be shocked when he sees me later.’

’His jaw will probably hit the floor!’

’Hehehe...’

A mischievous smile touched Yan Luoxi’s lips at the thought.

...

「8:15 AM」

Gu Yizhou was jolted awake by the ringing of his alarm.

The first rays of the morning sun streamed through a gap in the curtains, filling the bedroom with a touch of warmth.

He groggily rubbed his eyes and subconsciously reached for the spot next to him.

However, his hand met only empty space.

He turned his head to look, and sure enough, the cat was no longer on the bed.

’It probably woke up early and snuck out to the living room to play by itself,’ Gu Yizhou thought.

He shook his head in resignation, then sat up and stretched luxuriously.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, he heard a series of CLANKS and RATTLES from outside the room.

’Huh... What’s that sound?’

Gu Yizhou froze for a moment.

’Could it be Xiaobai, that silly little cat, knocking something over out there?’

He frowned slightly, then threw off the covers and got out of bed.

After quietly opening his bedroom door, the sound from outside became much clearer and more distinct.

And it seemed to be coming from the kitchen.

This only made Gu Yizhou more confused.

’But I’m sure I closed the kitchen door!’

He was sure of it!

Gu Yizhou always made it a habit to close the kitchen door before going to bed at night.

He was afraid the cat would sneak in and make a mess while he was asleep.

After all, Xiaobai had a nasty history of misbehavior, including washing its paws in his water glass.

Gu Yizhou frowned as he walked toward the kitchen.

’The light’s on!’

’And there’s someone in there???’

’Is there a burglar in the house?!’

Gu Yizhou’s steps faltered for a moment.

He wasn’t necessarily scared—he was a grown man, after all.

He glanced around, then walked over to the balcony and quietly armed himself with a laundry pole.

On second thought, he tiptoed back to the bedroom to grab his phone, ready to dial for the police at a moment’s notice.

Once all that was done, Gu Yizhou slowly approached the kitchen.

"Uh..."

When he got a clear look at the scene inside the kitchen, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Xixi?"

Gu Yizhou called out tentatively.

"Ah!"

His sudden voice made Yan Luoxi jump.

She whipped her head around, only relaxing when she saw it was Gu Yizhou.

Then, a gentle smile graced her face.

"Morning," Yan Luoxi said softly.

"Uh..."

At that moment, Gu Yizhou was utterly flabbergasted.

"This... Xixi, you... how are you here?"

he asked, his face a mask of astonishment.

Yan Luoxi didn’t answer. She just held up the carton of milk she was holding and said with a smile, "Breakfast is almost ready. Go wash up."

"Uh..."

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou paused for a moment but didn’t press the issue.

"Okay,"

he nodded.

Gu Yizhou walked into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror, still in a daze.

He stared at his reflection, his eyes filled with disbelief.

’Yan Luoxi... why is she here?’

’And how did she even get in?’

Though his mind was full of questions, he did as Yan Luoxi said and began to wash up.

He tried to recall the previous night as he brushed his teeth, but he couldn’t remember anything out of the ordinary.

After he finished, he walked to the kitchen doorway. Watching Yan Luoxi’s busy figure, a strange feeling suddenly washed over him.

’Is this what it feels like to watch your wife bustling around the kitchen in the morning after you’re married?’

With that thought, he walked into the kitchen, wrapped his arms around Yan Luoxi’s waist from behind, and buried his face in the crook of her neck.

Gu Yizhou’s sudden action made Yan Luoxi stiffen for a second, but she quickly relaxed.

Yan Luoxi turned to look at Gu Yizhou and asked with a smile, "All washed up? Breakfast is almost ready. Go sit in the dining room and wait for me."

"Okay."

Gu Yizhou didn’t tease her further. He just nodded and went to sit down in the dining room.

He watched her bustling about the kitchen, a feeling of warmth spreading through his heart.

Soon, Yan Luoxi came over carrying breakfast and set it on the table.

Gu Yizhou looked at the breakfast before him, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

It was a hearty spread: fried eggs, bacon, hot milk, and toast...

"Try it. See if you like it."

Yan Luoxi watched him with an expectant look on her face.

Gu Yizhou picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the fried egg.

"Er..."

Gu Yizhou’s movements paused for a fraction of a second before he quickly returned to normal.

He nodded and said, "Mm... It’s delicious. I love it."

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi’s face broke into a happy smile.

"If you like it, then have some more."

As she spoke, she picked up the fried egg from her own plate and placed it onto Gu Yizhou’s.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

This...

Seeing the eager, expectant look on Yan Luoxi’s face, Gu Yizhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and finish the fried eggs.

Watching Gu Yizhou eat, Yan Luoxi felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

Fortunately, aside from the fried eggs, everything else tasted perfectly normal.

Yes... Gu Yizhou probably wouldn’t want to eat another fried egg for a very, very long time.

...

About ten minutes later.

Gu Yizhou put down his glass of milk, looked at Yan Luoxi, and asked, "Xixi, how did you get in here? And end up making me breakfast?"
