Transmigrating Before The Crazy Beauty Scum A Loses Control - Chapter 37

For a period of time, Luan Yenan became increasingly busy and was often not seen around.

Zuo Baixuan didn’t know what she was busy with because Luan had never explained it to her. But she guessed it must be related to the newly registered company.

Although Luan Yenan and Zuo Baixuan lived under the same roof, it often happened that when Zuo left early in the morning, Luan was still not up, or sometimes Luan left even earlier than Zuo.

And when Zuo returned at night, Luan might not be back yet, or she might be exercising in the gym without much communication.

At school, apart from the occasional intersection during group meetings in Professor Chen’s office, they might not even chat as much as other group members.

Like today, Zuo Baixuan watched Luan Yenan on the stage, speaking eloquently about the research direction and the characteristics of the computer virus to be used this time.

All the students listened attentively, and even Professor Chen and Chen Huanyu occasionally lowered their heads to take notes.

Luan Yenan’s gaze swept over everyone but did not land on Zuo Baixuan.

Zuo Baixuan frowned slightly, feeling an inexplicable irritation in her heart.

What’s going on with this person?

The frequency of her looking at me has decreased so much recently, is she planning to terminate the cooperation contract?

After the group meeting, Zuo Baixuan saw Luan Yenan pack the USB drive and a tablet into her bag and leave without looking back.

Seeing the couple like this, anyone would suspect that they had a quarrel. But the other students just watched silently, not daring to say anything.

Jiang Lingdan then approached Zuo Baixuan and asked in a low voice, “Little Zuo, did you have a fight? I haven’t seen you two showing off your… acting skills for a long time. The number of times you appear together has decreased, and the forum’s direction has changed, starting to speculate whether you are having marital discord and are going to divorce. Luan Yenan has recently attracted a lot of attention, are you…”

Zuo Baixuan felt a surge of discomfort in her chest.

Seeing Zuo Baixuan not in high spirits and with a strange expression, Jiang Lingdan felt even more puzzled and couldn’t continue her words: “Little Zuo, what’s wrong with you?”

Zuo Baixuan raised her hand to Jiang Lingdan and said, “Wait for me for a while, I feel a bit unwell, I need to go to the restroom.”

She then walked through the corridor to the restroom at the end of the office building, washed her hands slowly, and looked at herself in the mirror, visibly showing a trace of fatigue.

Luan Yenan being too close made her uncomfortable, but now that Luan was far away, she also felt uncomfortable.

In the past few days, taking advantage of Luan Yenan not disturbing her emotions, she had calmly and seriously thought about it. She absolutely must not divorce Luan Yenan now, otherwise all her previous efforts would be in vain.

But if Luan Yenan really found a new partner and wanted to divorce her, there was nothing she could do. Zuo Baixuan poked her forehead in frustration.

Since marrying Luan Yenan, she had gained some breathing space and earned a lot of money from part-time jobs. She tried to buy the information she wanted through channels.

She hadn’t achieved her goal yet and didn’t want to give up.

Recently, “Blockcoin” has started to attract more attention.

Anyone with a keen interest could easily find out that the offline wallet carrier currently used by “Blockcoin” comes from Luan Yenan.

At the same time, Luo Yun, who is in charge of Luo Sheng International Racecourse, announced that “Blockcoin” can be used for exchange and consumption within the racecourse.

A virtual currency that was still under research for its value suddenly gained a real value system. Considering the undisclosed cooperation Luan Yenan had previously reached with Luo Yun at Luo Sheng International Racecourse, the potential value behind it is conceivable.

And the founder of “Blockcoin”, “Huanyu”, remains in a state of seclusion, with no trace of this person to be found anywhere.

Luan Yenan became the only way.

Many people wanted to befriend Luan Yenan, and some even approached Zuo Baixuan, extending olive branches, which she all refused.

This is just the beginning of the matter, and it has already attracted so much attention to Luan Yenan. In the future, Luan Yenan will become the focus of even more people.

So, let’s think differently.

If she can’t find that person, she can make that person come to her.

Now there are people interested in “Blockcoin” who want to get to know Luan Yenan through her. In the future, when Luan Yenan becomes more famous, it will surely make that person smell the opportunity for profit and appear on their own.

Zuo Baixuan’s eyes were fixed on her reflection in the mirror, a deceptively simple appearance that would make people think she was just a girl trying to escape her original family.

In the past few days, she had obediently followed Luan Yenan’s request, hanging a butterfly on her right ear. The butterfly seemed to be flying, but it was tied by a chain, somewhat similar to her situation.

With a knot in her heart, she could only let out a long sigh.

Zuo Baixuan splashed water on her face, and after sobering up, she pushed the door open to leave.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw a khaki figure standing outside the door.

This was the color of Luan Yenan’s coat today.

The light from behind shone towards her, casting a shadow on Luan Yenan, right in her arms.

It had been a long time since Luan Yenan’s gaze was locked on her.

Zuo Baixuan’s heart was filled with annoyance, but it was swept away by this.

The key to all the problems she had been thinking about was Luan Yenan. Perhaps Luan Yenan was right, she should take the initiative to keep the choice in her own hands, so as not to be so passive.

She looked up at Luan Yenan, and the first thing she did was to raise a smile.

Seeing the full smile on Zuo Baixuan’s face, Luan Yenan was somewhat surprised. Especially since the smile was deep, gradually revealing dimples.

It was actually a heartfelt smile.

In the past few days, Luan Yenan had indeed been avoiding Zuo Baixuan on purpose.

On one hand, she wanted to let Zuo Baixuan get over the awkwardness as soon as possible, so as not to give herself away when she needed to meet Luan Lizheng. On the other hand, it was also because she was really too busy.

The registered company only had her and Zuo Baixuan under its name, and she had to personally handle the recruitment and patent applications.

She had just managed to get these things done in the past two days, and had just handed over the materials for the noon speech to the person in charge. Only then did she have time to come back to find Zuo Baixuan.

She thought she would need to have a serious talk with her to get a result, but she didn’t expect the little white flower to bloom on its own today.

“Looking at your expression, it seems that after a few days of rest, you’re no longer embarrassed to see me?” Before coming to find her, Luan Yenan had thought about not bringing up the past during the conversation, but now that she saw Zuo Baixuan, she changed her mind.

“Why would I be embarrassed to see my wife? It’s you who’s been avoiding me these days, that’s what’s embarrassing, right? You have no idea what they’re saying about us on the forum, some people are saying you want a divorce.” Zuo Baixuan walked step by step towards Luan Yenan, her tone full of resentment, genuinely complaining about this matter.

Luan Yenan looked behind Zuo Baixuan in confusion.

There was no one there.

The teachers in the office building were either in class or in their own offices or labs.

The restroom on this floor was almost exclusively used by Professor Chen and her project team.

There was no audience here.

Luan Yenan hadn’t scrutinized Zuo Baixuan for a long time, and now she was standing right in front of her, showing such a harmless, pure and innocent expression.

That is, there was no one around.

If there were anyone around, Luan Yenan would have wanted to ask, how could anyone resist when they see the little white flower with this expression?

But it was precisely because there was no one around that made Luan Yenan find it even more interesting.

The little white flower’s acting skills were always for the benefit of others, and she couldn’t even muster the energy to practice when alone, but now?

“No response, are you really going to divorce me?” Zuo Baixuan was already right in front of her, and she reached out to pin Luan Yenan against the wall.

Because she wasn’t tall enough, her hands could only reach Luan Yenan’s waist.

Luan Yenan looked down at these hands, then at Zuo Baixuan, and this time she really couldn’t figure out what the little white flower was thinking.

But that didn’t stop Luan Yenan from responding, she reached out and brushed past Zuo Baixuan’s cheek.

Zuo Baixuan didn’t dodge.

Luan Yenan leisurely moved her fingers from Zuo Baixuan’s cheek slowly down, past her earlobe, and paused for a moment following the butterfly’s movement, her actions very casual and lazy.

Zuo Baixuan blinked lightly, not backing down, seemingly waiting for an answer.

Luan Yenan’s fingers finally rested on Zuo Baixuan’s chin, lifting it slightly.

Zuo Baixuan didn’t resist, lifting her head with the gentle force, her eyes still filled with inquiry.

Luan Yenan’s eyebrows twitched slightly in surprise.

“How could I possibly divorce you? Newlyweds, full of love, inseparable, that’s how we should be.”

Luan Yenan deliberately used exaggerated words.

Zuo Baixuan didn’t even blink as she retorted, “Right, so why have you been avoiding me these days? Like strangers, indifferent, falling apart.”

Somehow she managed to come up with these three messy idioms.

The little white flower was trying to play the victim.

Luan Yenan couldn’t hold back a breath that escaped from her chest, turning into a genuine laugh.

The back of her neck also relaxed slightly, letting out a hint of vodka, making the tense glands feel much more comfortable.

During this period, she had already started taking new medications as prescribed by the doctor and persisted with exercise, but it seemed that neither the workouts nor the drugs were as effective as she had imagined.

In fact, she felt even more uncomfortable in places with many Alphas and Omegas.

On the contrary, the little white flower standing right in front of her could alleviate the pressure from her glands.

Is this the effect of a 95% pheromone compatibility? Why didn’t the doctor recommend Zuo Baixuan as a remedy from the start?

Luan Yenan’s laughter tousled Zuo Baixuan’s side bangs, messing up her hairstyle.

Zuo Baixuan didn’t seem nervous at all, even taking the time to smooth her hair with her hand.

However, the slight tremor in her hand didn’t escape Luan Yenan’s notice.

The cool autumn breeze blew through the hallway, causing Luan Yenan’s stray hairs to flutter, slightly obscuring her dark eyes.

Zuo Baixuan shrank her neck in response to the chilly wind.

Luan Yenan simply opened her trench coat and wrapped the petite Zuo Baixuan inside.

Since Zuo Baixuan had unexpectedly changed her strategy, to avoid being at a disadvantage, Luan Yenan decided to adjust her approach as well.

The trench coat and Luan Yenan’s warmth enveloped her.

In the sudden embrace, Zuo Baixuan also caught a faint whiff of vodka. The non-aggressive scent didn’t make her anxious.

Even though Zuo Baixuan had learned to be a bit “naughty” she didn’t feel at a loss. Her face slightly red, she still directly wrapped her arms around Luan Yenan’s slender waist.

Zuo Baixuan had noticed Luan Yenan’s discipline during this time; no matter how early she left or how late she returned, she always made time to work out.

Her body fat percentage had decreased significantly, and her muscle definition was more pronounced than before. Just by hugging her, one could feel it.

Luan Yenan received an unexpected hug, took a shallow breath, and looked down to see only the top of Zuo Baixuan’s head. She narrowed her eyes slightly before resting her chin on Zuo Baixuan’s crown.

“I wasn’t exactly avoiding you, just busy. If you need, I can report everything I do to you from now on.”

“Who’s asking for your reports? And even if reports were necessary, it should be your initiative, not me asking for them, right?” Zuo Baixuan seemed to be seriously discussing the dynamics of a marital relationship with Luan Yenan.

Not getting a response, Zuo Baixuan pushed away slightly and looked up.

The sudden movement caught Luan Yenan off guard.

Luan Yenan’s heart skipped a beat as she saw those peach blossom eyes staring directly at her, full of laughter.

Although Zuo Baixuan was looking up from below, she held the upper hand: “What’s wrong? Not speaking again?”

Luan Yenan’s gaze swept around once more before settling back on Zuo Baixuan’s face, focusing intently as she asked seriously, “It seems you haven’t been idle this past week either, practicing a lot.”

Luan Yenan’s deep gaze carried a pressure, not from being an Alpha, but from Luan Yenan herself.

Zuo Baixuan didn’t plan to resist stubbornly, letting go and stepping back, as docile as a real little white rabbit: “Not exactly practicing, just figured some things out. It’s good news for you, isn’t it?”

The last sentence had a playful lilt, accompanied by a light blink.

Her cheerful mood was clearly written all over her face.

But Luan Yenan knew that this happy little rabbit was always ready to bite, just not sure when or why she would bite.

But it didn’t matter, at least for now, it was exactly what she wanted. Luan Yenan chuckled briefly and said in a non-negotiable tone, “In that case, come listen to my speech at noon today.”

“Speech?” Zuo Baixuan was hearing about this for the first time, shivering as another gust of wind hit her, and she hid beside Luan Yenan.

Luan Yenan smiled, putting an arm around her as they walked back: “Today at noon, in the grand auditorium.”

Hearing the time and place, Zuo Baixuan remembered that the college had notified about a speech on “Frontier Technologies in Information Technology” aimed at the entire grade, but she didn’t know it would be Luan Yenan’s speech.

Usually, speeches aimed at the entire grade have a basic popular science nature, and unless it’s a very famous professor, she generally wouldn’t apply to attend.

“You’re so famous now, there must be no seats left, right?” Facing Luan Yenan’s inquiring gaze, Zuo Baixuan explained, “Seats are probably by reservation, I didn’t sign up, so even if I want to go now, there’s no chance.”

“Then come pick me up after the speech.” Luan Yenan said as if it were the most natural thing.

After not appearing together for so long, if they don’t stand up to refute the rumors, they might really be declared divorced.

Zuo Baixuan didn’t ask why, her lips curving into a smile, her peach blossom eyes lifting: “Are you a kid that needs picking up?”

Luan Yenan took advantage of the soft, clear light to stare at Zuo Baixuan’s lips; the scab had healed, and she couldn’t find the evidence of the gentle comfort from her dreams.

She looked away.

“Recently, my popularity seems to have skyrocketed.” Luan Yenan replied.

Zuo Baixuan found it somewhat amusing.

When Luan Yenan puts away her imposing aura and mischievous tendencies, she can also act like a child, displaying some playful immaturity.

Hmm, perhaps it’s still related to her mischievous side.

“They’re being a bit excessive, clearly knowing you have a wife.” Zuo Baixuan adjusted the butterfly near her ear and glanced at Luan Yenan.

Luan Yenan also had one conspicuously hanging by her ear.

“If they won’t let me off, I can only rely on you.” Luan Yenan’s tone carried a hint of helplessness.

It’s rare to encounter something that makes Luan Yenan feel helpless.

In her past life, she would have had her secretary handle such matters.

Luan Yenan is famously known for being emotionless and loveless.

Not only does she not anticipate or believe in love, she even thinks that falling in love itself is a waste of time.

Randomly setting her up with someone might earn you her resentment and cost you any competitive opportunities.

But the current Luan Yenan temporarily lacks the power to control these life-and-death decisions, leading some people to think they can try to get involved with her.

Luan Yenan walked back to the office with Zuo Baixuan and then left first.

Jiang Lingdan immediately poked her head out.

Zuo Baixuan looked at the empty office and asked, “Where’s our senior? She seems to have skipped meals with us for several days in a row.”

“Our senior has been busy with something recently. She just gave me the keys to lock up and ran off, probably has other work. Wait, are you changing the subject, Little Zuo?”

“What subject? You haven’t even said anything since you poked your head out.” Zuo Baixuan calmly packed her things in the office.

“I just wanted to ask, what’s going on with you two?” Jiang Lingdan stood by the door, blocking Zuo Baixuan’s way until she got an answer.

“She has a speech at noon today and asked me to pick her up after it.” Zuo Baixuan answered truthfully.

Jiang Lingdan immediately made a strange face.

Knowing Jiang Lingdan well, Zuo Baixuan understood that this expression meant she was internally ranting, just not saying it out loud.

“If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t block the way; I still need to have lunch with you.” Zuo Baixuan patted Jiang Lingdan’s shoulder.

Since dealing with Luan Yenan, handling Jiang Lingdan has become much easier.

Jiang Lingdan stepped aside and boldly spoke up: “I really can’t understand your situation, is this some kind of ‘she runs, she chases, no escape’ drama?”

Zuo Baixuan was amused by Jiang Lingdan and said, “What are you talking about? Isn’t she the center of attention again now? Being the hot favorite, she wants me, her legitimate wife, to show up and assert my position.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, Little Zuo, it’s not that I want to say this, but I feel like your attitude is completely different from the beginning. Now it seems like you’re somewhat enjoying it, and so is she.” Jiang Lingdan locked the office door and nodded in the direction Luan Yenan had left.

Zuo Baixuan didn’t respond, just silently walked forward.

Jiang Lingdan glanced at Zuo Baixuan, a faint smile on her face, as if she had some new plan or idea after a breakthrough, something she couldn’t quite articulate, but overall, she seemed enlightened.

Tsk, these two are both crazy, aren’t they?

Truly a perfect match.

Jiang Lingdan silently grumbled in her heart for a while before starting to play with her phone.

When they reached the university student activity center, she happened to see a poster on the wall.

Jiang Lingdan rubbed her chin and asked, “Zuo’er, are you planning to participate in this year’s Best Singer competition?”

“No, I never participate in these things.” Zuo Baixuan glanced at the poster on the wall.

It didn’t seem particularly special, just like previous years—flashy graphic design with silhouettes of people and microphones pasted on.

Jiang Lingdan pressed further, “Are you planning to watch it then?”

“I never go to watch it either, why?” Zuo Baixuan looked at Jiang Lingdan with confusion, wondering why she was asking such unusual questions.

Jiang Lingdan shrugged, “I just knew you hadn’t heard yet. Luan Yenan is on the invitation list for this year’s campus Top Ten Singers competition as a guest professor.”

“Really?” Zuo Baixuan’s expression widened, not only surprised but also a bit shocked.

“It’s already a tradition, a custom to have teachers who sing well or are popular participate as a gimmick to attract students to the event. Your teacher Luan was probably assigned this task, just like today’s speech. I heard it was assigned to her by the principal when she joined.” Jiang Lingdan said, holding her phone with the freshly acquired information.

Zuo Baixuan fell silent for a moment, not even noticing the teasing tone in “your teacher Luan.”

Jiang Lingdan continued, “When Luan Yenan was still studying at our university, her peak popularity was during the Best Singer competition. I heard she was one of the campus Top Ten in her year. Now, as a teacher, she’s still popular. She’s got both, truly outstanding, your teacher Luan.”

This time, Zuo Baixuan caught the phrase “your teacher Luan” and nodded, “I see, my teacher Luan is too outstanding. It seems I need to make some plans, otherwise, it’s quite dangerous.”

Jiang Lingdan poked her own ear, wondering if she had heard correctly.

But seeing passersby around, she realized Zuo Baixuan was just acting.

Yet, she really wanted to remind her good friend.

Your current behavior is what’s truly “dangerous” The scariest thing is when you act so much that you start believing it yourself.

After all, as a knowing bystander, she was almost convinced too!

…

Luan Yenan had a quick lunch at the school cafeteria before heading to the venue to prepare for her speech.

Although the principal’s initial intention was to vent his frustration at being tricked into giving her a guest professorship by making things difficult for her, he later discovered that Luan Yenan was genuinely capable and changed his mind.

As more and more applicants came in following Luan Yenan’s speeches, to the point where it became hard to filter them, the principal gritted his teeth and gave Luan Yenan a grand stage. He exceptionally arranged this forty-minute speech in the grand auditorium, usually reserved for large events.

Luan Yenan was preparing backstage while the seats in the auditorium gradually filled with people.

Some were curious about who Luan Yenan was, others were eager to hear some news about “blockchain” and of course, there were those who didn’t believe in Luan Yenan’s capabilities and came just to watch the show.

The lights around the auditorium dimmed, leaving only the spotlight on the stage. The screen descended, revealing a carefully prepared PowerPoint presentation.

The murmurs among the audience grew louder.

Bzzz—!!

A sudden, sharp noise from the speakers startled everyone.

The students were about to curse out loud.

But then they saw the tall figure of Luan Yenan, holding a microphone, walking on the wooden floor of the stage in high heels, click-clacking.

Everyone held their breath, the words in their mouths swallowed.

Indoors, Luan Yenan had removed her coat, casually hanging it on one side of the podium.

Her deep eyes scanned the audience.

A cool and intellectual voice transmitted through the microphone, amplified by the speakers, delivering a casual opening: “Hello everyone, I am Luan Yenan. The topic of today’s speech is…”

The auditorium was silent.

Most of them had never met Luan Yenan face-to-face, and all their knowledge of her came from rumors.

Today, they were captivated by her presence and voice at first sight and sound.

Luan Yenan became the center of attention, everyone unable to look away.

Not just because of her beauty, but also because of the content of her presentation and speech.

The forty-minute speech was far from boring.

Luan Yenan’s voice was pleasant, and the content, though dense with information, was presented in an accessible, popular science manner that was easy to understand.

The person on the podium was no longer the rumored crazy and ruthless Alpha; she was their beautiful teacher!

Who spread those rumors, nearly making them miss such a treasure of a teacher!

The forums were almost immediately flooded with posts praising the speech.

Luan Yenan concluded her speech and turned off the PowerPoint: “That concludes today’s speech.”

A student who often attended speeches tried to keep Luan Yenan with a question: “Teacher Luan! There were parts of your speech I didn’t understand. Can I ask a question?”

Luan Yenan refused bluntly: “No, the task assigned by the principal does not include a Q&A session.”

The audience could only let out a collective “Ah” in protest.

More people were eager to surround Luan Yenan as soon as she stepped off the stage.

The principal’s task didn’t include a Q&A, but surely, as a teacher , she could answer students’ questions privately!

However, this path was also cut off by Luan Yenan.

“Don’t bother waiting for me, I have other matters to attend to and won’t stay for you. My wife is here to pick me up.”

Luan Yenan, who had been serious throughout the speech, now smiled towards the entrance.

She draped her coat over her arm and walked step by step towards the door.

The auditorium seats were at a thirty-degree incline, leading up to the exit.

At the exit stood a figure with a smiling face.

As Luan Yenan approached, Zuo Baixuan pulled out a red rose from behind her: “I only brought one, you don’t mind, do you, little Luan Yenan?”

Luan Yenan took the rose and smelled it; it was fragrant, but not as much as vanilla.

“Kiss!”

“Kiss!”

Some mischievous kid started the chant.

The atmosphere was quickly overtaken by the chant, everyone joining in.

Luan Yenan knew this chant was meaningless and would lead nowhere. She wanted to take Zuo Baixuan’s hand and leave these chanting kids with a cold back view.

But she grabbed empty air.

Zuo Baixuan’s hand went to Luan Yenan’s collar.

Luan Yenan’s eyes widened in surprise.

Indeed, only at times like these would she show surprise.

Zuo Baixuan smiled triumphantly, taking advantage of the height difference from the steps, she leaned forward easily.

The stolen kiss at the racetrack was sudden, but now, it was completely under Luan Yenan’s watch.

Zuo Baixuan kissed the corner of Luan Yenan’s mouth.

Not on the cheek.

But in a more intimate spot.

An unfamiliar yet familiar sensation touched her lips.

Luan Yenan’s body froze.

Amidst the surrounding screams, Zuo Baixuan prepared to retreat, but was held by Luan Yenan’s hand on her back: “Now the evidence is conclusive, right?”

“What evidence?” Zuo Baixuan didn’t need to look up to see the smile on Luan Yenan’s lips, like a hunter by a tree, finally catching the naughty rabbit that hopped over.

“You took advantage of me.” Luan Yenan’s voice lowered, as if soaked in alcohol.

One second she was thinking about what kind of wine it was, the next, she knew the answer. Because she tasted the strong flavor of vodka.

The students who were just screaming were now stunned by Luan Yenan’s deep kiss counterattack.

Help! Is this something you can see for free at a speech?!!!

Author’s note:

Luan Yenan: Today’s lesson is “Waiting by the Tree for the Rabbit”

Zuo Baixuan: Don’t misuse idioms, okay!

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
