Chapter 22 Again?

[Can I ask you out tonight? I want to have a dinner date with you.]

Gu Jinyang was speechless as he read the message. He even froze for a moment before he slowly sank back into his seat. He looked at the shattering stone beside him and he didn’t know what to say. Who would have thought that this Miss Luo would beat him once again? This was too much of a coincidence, right?!

The other three men with them inside the car stared at Gu Jinyang as though they were begging him to tell them. Gladly, Gu Wei was assigned to lead the other team to secure the place. If that man was here, his mouth would be running loose by now for sure.

That moment, the first thing that Gu Jinyang did was look at Guan Ye since he was actually Yu Chen’s main advisor regarding this wooing matter.

When their eyes met, Guan Ye immediately felt a chilling sensation. H-h-hey, why are you looking at me like that? Will you stop looking at me like I just did an unforgivable crime?!

Guan Ye started to feel worried. He didn’t know why but just by looking at Gu Jinyang’s expression, he could already smell trouble. His gaze fell on Yu Chen, who was still in his shattered stone statue mode. There was still no sign of him turning back to life at the moment and this was what worried him the most.

"W-what happened?" Guan Ye could only ask because he couldn’t stand his curiosity anymore.

Gladly, Gu Jinyang immediately answered. "Miss Luo just asked him out to have a dinner date."

As soon as those words reached Guan Ye’s ears, he almost bit his tongue. His eyes widened in disbelief and he was stupefied.

W-what? Seriously?!! How could she... Oh god!

Guan Ye turned his head like a robot away from Gu Jinyang. Afterwards, his hand covered his own mouth and his eyes were still wide with shock. He thought that this was indeed just too much of a coincidence.

It was true that Guan Ye was experienced with girls. But his job didn’t allow him to be in a serious relationship. He had brought many girls to bed but never courted anyone with the thought of marriage. Guan Ye was confident with his skills when it came to wooing girls but he knew he couldn’t take this matter lightly. More importantly, this was about his boss’ future wife. This was the reason why, to be safe, Guan Ye sought advice from a professional. He read a book from the infamous love guru, Hinari Chen, and he was absolutely convinced about the author’s advice.

Her advice was precise and flawless. As a man who had been involved with many girls, he agreed with the author’s tips 100%. Any girl who would be courted following those steps would surely fly high on cloud nine. So Guan Ye adviced Yu Chen the tips from the book while considering his current situation with her. The book actually started with the simplest gesture of showing interest but because Luo Xiaolei suddenly proposed, it wouldn’t make sense to follow the beginning steps anymore. Thus, Guan Ye told Yu Chen some steps ahead and made him choose. Yu Chen made a good choice and decided to send her flowers but coincidentally, she beat him to it.

Her unexpected action disrupted the plan again. When Yu Chen said that he didn’t want to take another detour anymore, Guan Ye again skipped more steps and recommended other tips. In the end, Yu Chen chose the romantic dinner date and even followed the golden advice of being chivalrous in this modern world and planned to ask her out personally.

But then, how could she beat him again? How could they both decide to do the exact same thing again? Was Miss Luo predicting Yu Chen’s next moves? Impossible, right?

As Guan Ye was in a great dilemma, his eyes suddenly widened. He looked like a light bulb appeared in his head, as if he just figured out the reason why.

W-wait, c-could it be that Miss Luo was using the same book?!! And she also decided to skip the steps?!!! What kind of fate was this?!

Guan Ye face palmed himself. Now that he thought about it, this was actually the only reason that made sense. He also realized that Hinari Chen was an internationally famous author, so how could he not consider the fact that everyone was already using those tips?! One of those people was surely Miss Luo! Oh god! I’m very sorry, boss!

"Uhm... boss, Miss Luo is coming." Amidst the silence, Jiang Min’s voice rang and the shattering stone finally jolted to life.

"She’s here, look!" the young man added and Yu Chen’s gaze immediately fell on the girl walking towards the entrance of the building.

Guan Ye and Gu Jinyang were waiting for his reaction but the girl had already entered the building without him doing anything. Guan Ye was getting anxious. He was thinking about explaining when suddenly, Yu Chen moved and he opened the car’s door.

He stepped out of the car, causing everyone to quickly climb out as well. Afterwards, Yu Chen quietly took his phone out and typed on it.

[Okay. I’m already here in front of your building. I have come to fetch you.]
