Holy Crap! My Cat is Actually a Female CEO?!

Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Shocking! A Major Event

After that, Yan Luoxi fell silent.

Seeing her silence, Gu Yizhou naturally kept quiet as well.

Silence...

The only sound in the elevator was their soft breathing.

Fortunately, the elevator quickly reached the first floor.

"DING~"

The elevator doors opened.

"We’re here,"

Yan Luoxi said, stepping out of the elevator.

"Oh, right."

Gu Yizhou nodded and followed her out.

However, he deliberately put some distance between himself and Yan Luoxi.

It was the middle of the lunch break.

Many people in the company were just returning from lunch.

’The first-floor lobby is bustling with people. If I’m seen walking with the President, the gossip will probably spread throughout the entire company in less than half an hour!’

’How incredibly awkward!’

That was why he did it.

But his actions displeased Yan Luoxi.

Noticing Gu Yizhou was trailing far behind her, she stopped and turned to glance back at him.

Gu Yizhou, lost in thought, was caught off guard and almost bumped into her.

He hastily stopped, putting a little more distance between them again.

Seeing this, Yan Luoxi’s fine eyebrows knitted together slightly.

Her tone was cold, yet filled with an undeniable authority. "Keep up."

In that moment, she perfectly embodied the air of a domineering CEO.

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou was taken aback.

"Hm?"

Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Yan Luoxi arched an eyebrow.

’This stupid man!’

’You’re not usually like this!’

’Where’s all your usual arrogance?’

’Show me that cocky attitude you have when you’re bullying me!’

’Seriously!’

Yan Luoxi grumbled inwardly.

At this point, Gu Yizhou finally snapped out of it. He saw Yan Luoxi staring intently at him, and realized that with the lobby full of people, quite a few had already noticed them.

So, steeling himself, Gu Yizhou had no choice but to walk to her side.

"Is it that embarrassing to be seen with me?"

Yan Luoxi looked at him and asked, "Or do you think I’ll eat you alive if you get too close?"

Her tone was as cold as ever, but for some reason, Gu Yizhou thought he detected a hint of a pout in it.

It left him momentarily baffled.

Just then, people milling about the lobby began to recognize President Yan Luoxi.

They all rushed over to greet her.

Though Yan Luoxi’s expression was cold, she still gave the crowd a slight nod.

Then she turned back to Gu Yizhou and said, "I’m hungry. Let’s go, hurry up."

"?"

A silent question mark seemed to appear on Gu Yizhou’s face.

’Lady!’

’Are you out of your mind?’

’How can you say something like that here?’

It wasn’t just him. The other employees present were equally bewildered.

They had noticed Gu Yizhou earlier but had all assumed he was just another employee coming to greet the President.

They just... never expected him to have come down *with* the President?!

And the President even told him she was hungry and to hurry up???

’Holy crap!’

’This is huge!’

The entire group stared at Gu Yizhou, their eyes wide with shock.

Many recognized Gu Yizhou as a company employee, but many others had no idea who he was.

’Just who on earth is this guy, to be so close with our President?’

’We have to find out who he is when we get back!’

’If we get the chance, it’d be great to get on his good side!’

Feeling the crowd’s burning stares, Gu Yizhou felt completely helpless.

’I desperately want to shout, "Everyone, you’ve all got it wrong!"’

But with Yan Luoxi right beside him, what the hell could he say?

Seeing more and more people gathering, Yan Luoxi frowned.

"Are we leaving or not?"

she snapped at Gu Yizhou.

"Oh, right."

Gu Yizhou nodded.

Then, walking side by side, they made their way through the crowd and out of the office building.

Everyone present watched in utter shock. Many had already pulled out their phones to secretly snap a picture and send it to their group chats.

...

Just then, the "Lunch Crew" from the Finance Department was also returning from their meal.

The group was chatting and laughing as they walked toward the company lobby.

At that exact moment, Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi were walking out.

The two groups ran right into each other.

When Song Sisi saw Gu Yizhou, her eyes immediately lit up.

"Yizhou..."

She was just about to call out to him when she noticed someone standing next to him.

She took a closer look.

And she froze, completely baffled.

"Uh..."

It wasn’t just her; the others from the Finance Department were also completely bewildered.

"Good afternoon, President Yan~"

Chen Dong, the leader of Finance Team 3, was the first to react. He hurriedly greeted Yan Luoxi with utmost respect.

At his words, the others snapped out of it too.

"Good afternoon, President Yan!"

The group all scrambled to greet her.

"Mm."

Yan Luoxi gave a slight nod.

Her face, however, remained impassive, revealing none of her thoughts.

"Haha..."

Gu Yizhou gave the group an awkward laugh. "Hey, everyone~"

"..."

The group just stared at him, bewildered and speechless.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou felt even more awkward.

Yan Luoxi glanced at him, then said, "Let’s go. We’re running late."

With that, she turned and started walking away.

"Oh, right."

Gu Yizhou nodded and hurried to catch up.

The two walked off, side by side.

"Where do you normally eat?"

Yan Luoxi asked.

"Uh... I usually just eat at one of the small diners near the company. They probably aren’t your style,"

Gu Yizhou replied.

"Is the food any good?"

Yan Luoxi ignored the second half of his sentence and pressed on.

"It’s pretty decent."

Unsure of what Yan Luoxi was getting at, Gu Yizhou answered honestly.

"Oh. Then lead the way,"

Yan Luoxi said with a nod.

Seeing that she didn’t seem to be joking, what else could Gu Yizhou say?

"Well... all right. Follow me, then,"

Gu Yizhou said, shaking his head in resignation.

Then, with Gu Yizhou in the lead, the two turned and headed off to the left.

They soon disappeared from sight.

?????

Meanwhile, the group from the Finance Department stared after the pair’s departing figures, their eyes filled with questions.

Because the two hadn’t gotten far, the group from the Finance Department had managed to overhear their conversation.

"Holy hell~!"

"This is..."

"I didn’t just mishear that, did I?"

"President Yan is actually going to eat with Yizhou???"

He Mingyi, the resident gossip of Finance Team 3, suddenly jumped up and shouted.

His voice was very loud.

His shout snapped everyone out of their shocked stupor.
