Transmigrating Before The Crazy Beauty Scum A Loses Control - Chapter 56

As Luan Yenan said, she went to the meeting at “Front End” in the afternoon.

Shortly after she left, Luan Xing called Zuo Baixuan, inviting her to come home for dinner.

Zuo Baixuan agreed.

After work, she was picked up by a car arranged by Luan Xing. Upon arriving at the Luan family villa, Pepper was the first to greet her, wagging its tail excitedly.

Ever since Luan Yenan had stood up to Luan Lizheng in the villa, Pepper had been completely won over, and even Zuo Baixuan, as Luan Yenan’s wife, received extra affection from the dog.

As soon as Zuo Baixuan arrived, Pepper circled around her, even attempting to jump up and give her a hug.

“Pepper, you’re scaring Little Xuan, calm down.” Luan Xing called out, stopping the excited dog.

The intelligent German Shepherd whimpered twice and sat down beside Zuo Baixuan.

Zuo Baixuan was still holding the flowers Luan Yenan had given her earlier in the day. When she looked at Luan Xing, her expression was slightly embarrassed.

She hesitated for a moment.

On the way over, she had thought about not having brought a gift for Luan Xing, and considered giving her the flowers as a gesture.

But now that she was here, she found herself reluctant to part with them.

“Sorry, Mom, things have been really busy at the company lately, especially with Ah Nan traveling so much for work. We haven’t had time to visit you. It’s really kind of you to invite me over.”

“Why are you being so polite? It’s normal for you to be busy. Just come visit when you have time. You must be exhausted lately, I made some special dishes for you today.” Luan Xing said, taking Zuo Baixuan’s hand and leading her inside.

Zuo Baixuan felt the warmth in Luan Xing’s hand and her gentle demeanor, and unconsciously tightened her grip.

She found herself craving this maternal care.

Once inside, the servants were already preparing dinner.

However, Luan Yenan and Luan Muyin were nowhere to be seen.

Zuo Baixuan asked, “Aren’t we waiting for Ah Nan and Mom to join us?”

“Their meeting at ‘Front End’ today is quite complicated. There’s the promotion of the enterprise cloud and the development direction of new products, among other things. Muyin told me they’ll likely be working through the night and will rest in the company’s lounge. That’s why I thought of inviting you over for dinner and to stay the night. Didn’t Yenan tell you? How could she be so busy and not even let you know?” Luan Xing explained, then began to criticize Luan Yenan.

Zuo Baixuan remembered that after escaping from the small room earlier, she had been in meetings all day and had ignored all of Luan Yenan’s messages.

“It’s not Ah Nan’s fault. She told me this afternoon that she had a meeting. I must have missed the part about staying overnight.”

Hearing that the couple was understanding of each other, Luan Xing felt reassured.

At that moment, a servant approached, wanting to take the flowers from Zuo Baixuan.

Zuo Baixuan instinctively tightened her grip. “These were given to me by Ah Nan. I didn’t have time to put them away, so I brought them with me.”

The servant was taken aback.

She had only intended to help by placing the flowers aside. She quickly looked at Luan Xing for guidance.

Luan Xing burst out laughing.

She had been worried about the couple’s relationship, but it seemed her concerns were unfounded.

Luan Yenan, despite being so busy with work, had taken the time to give her wife flowers.

And Zuo Baixuan, treating the flowers like a precious treasure.

She told the servant, “Put the flowers in a vase, and Little Xuan can take them with her when she leaves.”

The servant looked at Zuo Baixuan for confirmation.

Only then did Zuo Baixuan realize what she had done. Her face turned red, and she quickly handed over the flowers, not daring to say anything else.

She tried to make up for it by saying, “Mom, next time I’ll bring you flowers too.”

Luan Xing laughed even harder. “I already grow so many flowers myself, and Muyin often gives me some too. It’s fine, I’m not jealous at all.”

It was clear she wasn’t jealous, but was she laughing a bit too much?

Zuo Baixuan’s face remained flushed.

Luan Xing led Zuo Baixuan to the dining table.

After they had eaten to about 70% fullness, Luan Xing brought up the main topic.

The reason she had invited Zuo Baixuan over today, aside from wanting to spend time together, was to discuss something important.

“Little Xuan, you know Yenan has an uncle, right? You met him at the banquet last time—Qin Yuancheng from the Qin family.”

Hearing the name Qin Yuancheng, Zuo Baixuan’s hand tightened, and she put down her chopsticks. “Yes, I know. We’ve met.”

“The Qin family has been involved in national research for a long time and has access to many resources. A few days ago, he approached Muyin, saying he wanted to introduce Yenan to better doctors to treat her gland and hormone issues. He also mentioned… introducing her to an Omega from a prominent family with a 100% hormone compatibility.” Luan Xing said cautiously, observing Zuo Baixuan’s reaction.

Zuo Baixuan simply smiled. “He’s already said this to Ah Nan.”

“What?” Luan Xing was momentarily stunned, “In front of you?”

Zuo Baixuan replied calmly, “No, Mom. Qin Yuancheng called Ah Nan before, and I happened to be at the company. Ah Nan put the call on speaker, so I heard it. She already refused him directly.”

Luan Xing breathed a sigh of relief but still patted Zuo Baixuan’s hand.

“That’s good to hear, but I still want to remind you both. Yenan’s uncle is very cunning, and when he gets ruthless, he can be even worse than the old man at home. You both need to be careful.” Luan Xing said softly.

This was something she and Luan Muyin had discussed and decided to warn the two about.

At the same time, at “Front End” Luan Muyin was saying the same thing to Luan Yenan.

Luan Yenan smiled even more dismissively than Zuo Baixuan had, “I don’t think anyone can force me to do anything I don’t agree to. Whether it’s the arranged marriage Grandpa wants or the compatibility match Uncle is pushing.”

“Even if that match could cure your condition?” Luan Muyin looked at Luan Yenan’s neck, no Alpha could be completely indifferent to their gland.

“You might not believe this, but I really don’t care about having hormones or even a gland. In fact, if I didn’t have a gland…” Luan Yenan trailed off, realizing that people in this world might not understand her perspective.

She had indeed experienced the unique pleasure of Alpha and Omega hormones intertwining.

But without a gland, perhaps her little flower wouldn’t be so afraid of her.

An Alpha’s hormones, for an unwilling Omega, were like chains binding them in a dark room, no matter how gently they were locked.

Luan Muyin watched Luan Yenan’s unfamiliar expression, not understanding what was going on.

She felt she really wasn’t a good mother.

In the past, she didn’t understand her child, which led to her going astray. Now that her child had changed for the better, she still didn’t understand her.

After much thought, Luan Muyin finally said to Luan Yenan, “Just be careful with your uncle. I’ll make sure to firmly oppose any arrangements on the surface. As for your grandfather, he’s been trying to undermine me from the top to stop our collaboration, but don’t worry, once today’s contract is signed, it’s final.”

Luan Yenan still didn’t know how to interact with her family, but faced with Luan Muyin’s goodwill, she smiled.

It seemed a bit unfair to put this on her tech-savvy but management-challenged mother.

“Mom, I’m not a kid anymore. If you’re having any trouble at the company, you can tell me. You know I have the ability to handle things now.”

Luan Muyin was momentarily stunned, then her face softened into a look of relief. She pretended to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, using the motion to wipe away a tear, and pointed at the fast food in her hand. “Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s finish eating and get back to the meeting.”

Luan Yenan didn’t call out her emotional state, instead focusing on her meal while noticing a message from Zuo Baixuan.

[I’m at home having dinner with Mom. You and Mom keep up the good work at the meeting, and remember to eat.]

Although she replied to the message, she ignored the implied request.

Luan Yenan thought for a moment, then remembered what Chen Huanyu had said earlier.

Since Jiang Lingdan had noticed something but only mentioned it to Chen Huanyu as gossip, did that mean Jiang Lingdan was an ally?

At the very least, she was a potential ally who could be swayed.

Luan Yenan picked up her phone, scrolled through several pages, found Jiang Lingdan’s contact information, and sent a message.

…

Zuo Baixuan’s school.

She was even carrying a small vase filled with the seven-colored flowers the servant had arranged earlier.

Even though Luan Xing had worried that carrying the vase to class would be inconvenient and offered to have someone deliver it to her home.

But for some reason, she had refused.

Just like when the servant had tried to take the flowers yesterday, she had inexplicably clung to them.

Under Luan Xing’s knowing gaze, Zuo Baixuan stubbornly carried the vase, complete with its attached rope, and left.

She spent the entire day carrying the vase to class, once again becoming the center of attention among the students.

But by now, she was used to the stares and didn’t mind the attention.

She calmly went through her day.

On her way out, she passed the activity center.

Zuo Baixuan unconsciously stopped, her gaze falling on the long-posted event poster on the bulletin board.

Tonight, the Top Ten Singers Competition would be held here.

Just then, her phone buzzed.

Zuo Baixuan snapped out of her thoughts and looked around, making sure nothing was amiss before checking her phone.

It was a message from her advisor.

The revision notes for her graduation thesis had been sent to her email.

She glanced at the email and decided to head back to her dorm.

As soon as she entered the dorm, she saw Jiang Lingdan take off her headphones, holding a bag of snacks, and look at her. “Wow, what brings our boss’s wife back to the dorm?”

“Yin and yang wind.” Zuo Baixuan retorted, annoyed by Jiang Lingdan’s sarcastic tone.

Jiang Lingdan didn’t mind, just chuckled. “Are you planning to go see Luan Yenan?”

Zuo Baixuan stood her ground. “No, why would I? I’m just here to work on my thesis.”

“Okay.” Jiang Lingdan replied, as if she understood, and turned back to her screen.

Zuo Baixuan was left confused by her reaction.

Was Jiang Lingdan really letting it go?

She hadn’t even teased her about the flowers.

“Don’t you have anything else to say?” Zuo Baixuan asked, watching Jiang Lingdan, who was about to put her headphones back on.

Jiang Lingdan kept her headphones half-off, her eyes flicking between the screen and Zuo Baixuan.

Only then did Zuo Baixuan realize Jiang Lingdan was watching a drama, the one she was currently obsessed with, where the main couple was having a sweet moment. No wonder she wasn’t paying attention to her.

Jiang Lingdan looked at Zuo Baixuan for a long moment before exclaiming, “I know! I wanted to say the flowers look really nice. Are you planning to keep them in the dorm as decoration? I can’t keep plants alive.”

“…Just keep watching your drama, I’m going to work on my thesis.” Zuo Baixuan said, sitting down at her desk.

The difficulty level of her undergraduate thesis wasn’t particularly high, and her advisor’s revision notes were detailed. For Zuo Baixuan, the revisions weren’t urgent.

This made her unconsciously open the campus forum, which she hadn’t visited in a while.

Nothing major had happened recently.

The forum’s homepage was filled with casual daily posts or exam-related questions.

Only one HOT post remained on the front page—a thread about the banquet, with screenshots of news reports and some candid photos from that day.

It had been deified by the students.

Then she noticed a post with an unremarkable title that kept appearing on the homepage: “The Long-Awaited Top Ten Singers Final is Finally Here!” It looked like an official, awkwardly promotional post.

But the number of replies was rapidly increasing.

Curious, Zuo Baixuan clicked on it.

As soon as she opened it, she saw Luan Yenan’s face.

Luan Yenan was wearing a short-sleeved black suit with a metal accessory on her chest. She had on sunglasses, her tall figure standing gracefully, her long black hair flowing in the wind, with butterfly earrings dangling beneath.

She must have gone home to shower and change.

Why was she putting so much effort into a small school singing competition?

Zuo Baixuan didn’t understand.

But the candid shots of her walking around campus, taken by students, looked like street-style photos. She wasn’t wearing makeup, but her aura was undeniable.

No wonder so many students were paying attention.

Zuo Baixuan was about to scroll down when Jiang Lingdan let out a surprised shout behind her. “Wow! Little Zuo!”

Startled, she quickly closed her laptop.

“What’s wrong?”

“Look at this post!”

Zuo Baixuan immediately recognized the familiar interface and title, and a wave of guilt washed over her. “Weren’t you watching a drama? Why are you looking at the forum now?”

“Someone sent me a message to check out some gossip, so I did. You should take a look too. Isn’t this outrageous?” Jiang Lingdan scrolled through the post.

Aside from the usual “Ahhh, Teacher Luan is so gorgeous!” type of comments, there were many photos taken by student council members during the rehearsal.

In the photos, Luan Yenan was surrounded by young students, their faces flushed as they stared at her intently.

Even the teachers helping out had rare smiles on their faces.

Despite the blurry quality of the photos, it was clear that their gazes were filled with admiration, longing, and even blatant infatuation.

Zuo Baixuan pursed her lips.

Luan Yenan’s recent high-profile behavior certainly deserved this kind of attention.

Jiang Lingdan said indignantly, “Little Zuo, aren’t you going to do something about this?”

“Ah Nan hasn’t even glanced at them. What is there for me to do?” Zuo Baixuan retorted.

But her slip of the tongue, using “Ah Nan” instead of “Luan Yenan” betrayed her unease.

Jiang Lingdan raised an eyebrow.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

From her perspective, Zuo Baixuan was indeed skilled at masking her emotions, showing no cracks.

But Jiang Lingdan, having read so many gossip stories, was an expert at analyzing logical inconsistencies.

Once she confirmed that Zuo Baixuan’s feelings for Luan Yenan weren’t purely professional, all the oddities made sense!

Jiang Lingdan said seriously, “But Little Zuo, don’t forget that you and Luan Yenan are in a cooperative relationship!”

Zuo Baixuan’s rebuttal was on the tip of her tongue, but upon hearing Jiang Lingdan’s words, she swallowed it back. “Right, a cooperative relationship.”

“Exactly! Now that Luan Yenan is surrounded by so many people, shouldn’t you, as the Party B, provide some assistance?” Jiang Lingdan pressed.

“…” That made sense.

This time, Luan Yenan hadn’t used the contract to pressure her, but she should still play her part.

Zuo Baixuan pursed her lips, she should go and “assert her dominance.”

“What are you waiting for? Go help!” Jiang Lingdan said, picking up a large bouquet of flowers from the floor and shoving it into Zuo Baixuan’s hands.

“What? You were prepared for this?” Zuo Baixuan pulled her hands back, eyeing Jiang Lingdan warily.

Jiang Lingdan, seeing her reaction, angrily took the flowers back. “You’re actually suspicious of me? These flowers were meant for a junior, but I thought you might need them more.”

Zuo Baixuan realized she might have overreacted and smiled apologetically. “Don’t be mad. It’s just that Luan Yenan keeps tricking me, so I’m on edge.”

“Do you want them or not?”

“No need.” Zuo Baixuan replied confidently, then turned to prepare.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Lingdan watched in stunned silence as Zuo Baixuan left the dorm.

After the door closed, she shook her head and clasped her hands together, addressing the door.

“Sorry, bestie. I didn’t mean to, but Luan Yenan offered too much! She said I could choose the spokespersons for future products! Two of them! I had to do it for my two babies.”

Jiang Lingdan dramatically apologized to the air, then hugged her laptop and “cried.”

After a moment, she thought that since she had caused this, the least she could do was send an apology email to Zuo Baixuan’s advisor on her behalf.

Jiang Lingdan turned and opened Zuo Baixuan’s laptop, which was half-closed but not fully shut.

On the screen was Luan Yenan’s “street-style photo.”

Jiang Lingdan was speechless.

So much for coming back to work on her thesis!

…

The school, leveraging Luan Yenan’s fame to attract students to the event, had naturally considered the possibility of her being swarmed, so they had arranged a private lounge for her.

After going through the rehearsal script at the front desk, Luan Yenan returned to her lounge.

While the stage area was bustling with activity, and the backstage was filled with the sounds of various rehearsals, Luan Yenan’s lounge was relatively secluded and quiet.

But in this eerily quiet atmosphere, Luan Yenan saw someone standing in her lounge—a volunteer wearing an armband, taking the cup from her table.

This person looked familiar.

One of the “snakes, insects, rats, and ants.”

The ant.

Luan Yenan didn’t know his real name.

“Hey.”

The ant jumped, startled, and spilled the water from the cup onto the floor.

He turned around and apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t know you were still using the lounge.”

He was about to put the cup back.

But Luan Yenan frowned. “Don’t bother with the cup, just leave.”

The ant, relieved, quickly took the cup and headed for the door.

“What are you doing!”

Before he could take a few steps.

The ant was startled again, and the cup in his hand wobbled, spilling more water.

“I, I…” The ant turned around, even more flustered.

Luan Yenan, hearing a voice an octave higher than usual, immediately recognized it.

She walked to the door, leaning against the frame, and smiled at the person outside who was losing her temper. “You’re here?”

Dressed in a white casual shirt paired with white casual trousers, a white tie at the collar, and holding a vase filled with seven-colored flowers.

What surprised Luan Yenan even more was the butterfly ear clip on her ear.

Zuo Baixuan was wearing full makeup, standing before her.

She had walked through the campus, under everyone’s gaze, entered the activity center, and found her way to the lounge as “Luan Yenan’s wife.”

Luan Yenan’s lips curled into a smile.

Zuo Baixuan handed her makeup bag and the vase to Luan Yenan, pushed her into the room, and ended the confrontation with the ant.

“You didn’t have to be so eager.” Luan Yenan teased.

“What are you talking about!” Zuo Baixuan locked the door, her ears already turning red, but she remained composed.

Luan Yenan held up the makeup bag. “I mean, there’s no need to rush with the makeup. I’m not up until the end.”

Zuo Baixuan looked at Luan Yenan, knowing full well that the smile in her eyes wasn’t about the makeup.

“Don’t drink anything Ma Yongyu brings you.” Zuo Baixuan warned seriously.

The ant.

Ma Yongyu.

“I’m not that careless, I wouldn’t drink from a cup that’s been out of my sight.”

Luan Yenan then took Zuo Baixuan’s hand.

“So, why are you here?”

Zuo Baixuan knew she couldn’t pull away, so she casually waved her hand and replied, “Isn’t it obvious? I brought you flowers. Do you like them?”

Luan Yenan set the vase down.

Even though she knew the flowers were from her and the vase was from the Luan family villa, she still whispered in Zuo Baixuan’s ear, “I love them.”

Zuo Baixuan’s ear tingled, and she quickly stepped aside, taking the makeup bag. “Sit down, I’m here to do your makeup.”

“Really? What a shame. I thought you were here to chase away all the admirers.” Luan Yenan said, walking over to Zuo Baixuan and deliberately teasing her.

“Yes, yes, not only will I chase them away, but I’ll also assert my dominance and keep them far away from you. Happy now?” Zuo Baixuan continued to play along.

Luan Yenan looked at Zuo Baixuan’s perfectly professional smile and nodded.

“Very happy.” Even if it was just an act, she was satisfied.

“Good, because I’m the best Party B. Close your eyes.” Zuo Baixuan ordered, taking advantage of her role as the makeup artist.

Luan Yenan didn’t immediately obey. Instead, she pulled Zuo Baixuan’s arm, bringing her closer.

Zuo Baixuan lost her balance and fell into Luan Yenan’s arms.

Again.

Zuo Baixuan couldn’t help but meet Luan Yenan’s gaze.

She didn’t know when it had started, but she could no longer avoid this gaze.

“Close your eyes.” Zuo Baixuan said, deciding not to avoid it this time.

Instead, she demanded that Luan Yenan end the eye contact herself.

This domineering attitude.

Luan Yenan looked at her deeply, her lips curling into a smile, and closed her eyes.

“I told you to close your eyes, not to pucker your lips. I’m not going to kiss you.” Zuo Baixuan muttered.

“Then what are you going to do?” Luan Yenan opened her eyes after just two seconds, her gaze once again roaming freely over Zuo Baixuan’s face.

Zuo Baixuan took out the primer. “Makeup.”

“Then I’d like to start with lipstick.” Luan Yenan said with a smile.

Zuo Baixuan’s eyes unconsciously drifted to Luan Yenan’s lips. “What shade?”

“The same one you’re wearing. I think it looks nice.” Luan Yenan said, staring at Zuo Baixuan’s lips, memorizing every line.

Before Zuo Baixuan could react, Luan Yenan kissed her.

It was like a giant trap, gently swallowing the little white rabbit that had stepped into it.

The little rabbit barely struggled.

This wasn’t the first time she had fallen into the trap.

She even began to respond unconsciously.

Luan Yenan tightened her grip around Zuo Baixuan’s waist, lifting her and placing her on the makeup table.

The vase on the table wobbled, making a clinking sound.

Thud—

The makeup bag slipped from Zuo Baixuan’s hand and fell to the floor.

The cosmetics scattered everywhere.

But no one cared about the state of the makeup.

They were too busy stealing each other’s breath.

Zuo Baixuan didn’t want to lose, but under the onslaught of Luan Yenan’s soft tongue and the waves of rich vodka, she was defeated, her body going limp as she clung to Luan Yenan’s neck for support.

Then, it was as if she had fallen into an ocean of vodka.

Overwhelming pheromones surged from all directions.

Danger!

Zuo Baixuan’s hands tightened, and a sense of alertness shot through her.

She opened her eyes, bit Luan Yenan’s tongue hard enough to make her pull back, and then pushed her away with all her strength.

Luan Yenan also opened her eyes, looking at her in surprise.

Zuo Baixuan braced her hands against Luan Yenan’s chest, creating distance between them.

No, it wasn’t her imagination.

A large amount of intense, uncontrolled pheromones were flowing from Luan Yenan’s neck.

“You… you’re in your susceptible period!” Zuo Baixuan slid off the makeup table, her legs giving out, leaving her with no strength to escape.

Luan Yenan’s strong arms lifted her up, her eyes bloodshot.
