Transmigrating Before The Crazy Beauty Scum A Loses Control - Chapter 69

The appearance of Luan Yenan and Zuo Baixuan attracted the attention of everyone present, including Si Ruxin.

Si Ruxin held a wine glass, standing in the venue, dressed in a gown that integrated Chinese elements, surrounded by a diverse crowd.

Some were captivated by her beauty and came to strike up a conversation.

Others, aware of the Si family’s background, approached to establish connections.

There were also those who knew she was a specially invited designer and came to exchange ideas.

When the couple made their entrance, someone even asked Si Ruxin for her opinion: “I know Miss Luan, an excellent Alpha. Who is the person beside her? Is she her Omega?”

Si Ruxin actually didn’t like the way this person phrased it.

There are many who view Omegas as subordinates, even in such settings.

Everyone was well-dressed, each having received a higher education, whether Alpha, Beta, or Omega, all enjoying the same treatment.

But the venue was still predominantly filled with Alphas.

Here, Alphas would appreciate outstanding Omegas and also show respect. Those they liked would be pursued with genuine sincerity.

Yet, at certain moments, their subconscious biases would still be exposed, like now.

“She’s a very capable Omega.” Si Ruxin replied indifferently, her tone much firmer than before.

The questioner quickly noticed the change and hurriedly rephrased: “Sorry, I meant that I don’t know this beautiful lady, not that I don’t respect Omegas.”

Si Ruxin merely smiled politely at the person, said no more, and gracefully walked away, heading towards the much-anticipated couple.

“President Luan, Miss Zuo.”

“Miss Si.” Luan Yenan spoke, and Zuo Baixuan also greeted.

Luan Yenan, as if chatting with other acquaintances, after greeting, gently held Zuo Baixuan and continued forward.

This reaction made Si Ruxin both annoyed and amused. She’s always on guard against my approach.

Is it necessary? Is she afraid I’ll eat her?

Si Ruxin squinted at the back of Luan Yenan’s neck, noticing the professional medical-grade suppressant patch with inhibitor effects.

Look at other Alphas, eager to exploit legal loopholes, seizing every opportunity to showcase their Alpha charm, the intensity of their pheromones, like peacocks displaying their feathers, always wanting to be admired.

But this one, from the moment we met, despite me being an S-class Omega, no one even knows what her pheromone smells like.

It’s only said that Luan Yenan’s pheromone smells like chili, but since her marriage, no one has smelled it.

When the office was in chaos due to pests and Bao Xinglong’s susceptible period erupted, it was only rumored that Luan Yenan’s pheromone was still spicy, but definitely no longer chili-like.

Is this the composure of a top-tier Alpha?

Si Ruxin kept watching Luan Yenan, trying to discern something from this woman who wore a mask of restraint, not giving her a single smile, but to no avail.

Luan Yenan didn’t look at Si Ruxin, but Zuo Baixuan stared at her for a while. Today she wasn’t wearing a cheongsam, but her gown had cheongsam elements, adorned with ink paintings, quite beautiful.

Custom-made and ordinary tailored dresses still have their differences.

For the first time, Zuo Baixuan felt a sense of disparity, regretting not choosing one of the gowns Luan Yenan had recommended, pursing her lips lightly.

Si Ruxin, not getting much reaction from Luan Yenan, didn’t mind and smiled at Zuo Baixuan: “So the diamond necklace President Luan specifically fought me for was for Miss Zuo, no wonder.”

This was said sincerely.

But with her usual way of speaking, it came off as somewhat sarcastic.

Even Si Ruxin herself noticed, but her speech habits were hard to change.

Zuo Baixuan didn’t mind these subtleties; the diamond necklace was indeed on her, and if Si Ruxin had any issues, she could just be upset on her own.

“So Ah Nan got the necklace from Miss Si, I didn’t know there was such a backstory.”

“She wanted to study its design, but I didn’t agree.” Luan Yenan interjected.

This sounded somewhat like boasting.

Si Ruxin turned her head, almost not wanting to chat with this couple anymore.

What bad luck!

But for the sake of her career, Si Ruxin held back her frustration and said, “Alright, alright, I won’t bother with unnecessary pleasantries. I came over to introduce you to the organizer of this summit, Mr. Smith.”

“Professor Smith?” Zuo Baixuan was the first to react.

After Professor Chen’s research group was formed, she had mentioned her initial idea to invite Professor Smith.

Si Ruxin nodded: “Smith is a common surname here, many people have it, but yes, the Smith family hosting this summit is the family of Professor Smith, the big name in information technology. I remember your brother studied here under Professor Smith, right?”

Luan Yenan nodded, but she didn’t care much about this.

Si Ruxin went ahead to meet with the Smith family.

The Smith family, as it turned out, only sent two middle-aged siblings.

The brother, a university professor, burly with a full beard, was Professor Smith.

The sister, who inherited the family business, was tall with natural makeup and an intellectual beauty. People around called her boss or CEO, but she preferred the simple title of Ms. Smith.

“You must be the Luan-Zuo couple, I’ve heard so much about you, finally meeting you is better than a hundred hearsays!” Ms. Smith seemed excited upon meeting Luan Yenan and Zuo Baixuan, but still politely greeted Si Ruxin first before leading everyone to a side room.

Professor Smith remained silent, only speaking up when technical matters were discussed.

After listening to their explanations, Luan Yenan understood why they were so eager to involve her in the summit.

It’s always the foreign capitalists making big moves.

Eager to open new profitable battlefields, they’ve already set their sights on VR technology, even boldly proposing the concept of a “metaverse.”

Thinking back to the world of her previous life, after the “metaverse” was proposed, it mostly remained a hype concept, shouted about for years without any real breakthrough.

The realization of the metaverse requires a lot in terms of algorithms, computing power, communication, storage, and even carrier devices.

Luan Yenan, being adept at manipulating capital, naturally knew the enthusiasm of these capitalists for hype new concepts.

But she didn’t want hype to ruin the potential for technological development, so she instead sought to ally with Professor Smith.

“Trying to achieve everything at once is impossible, but we can start by applying VR in small areas like gaming, movies, and other entertainment fields. Even…” Luan Yenan looked at Si Ruxin.

Si Ruxin didn’t understand the implication of this glance and waited for her to continue.

“Even in design creation, a device for drawing and designing in space, no designer could resist that, right?”

Sure enough, after these words, Si Ruxin’s expression turned to delight.

Luan Yenan then said to Ms. Smith: “We could even allow customers to try on clothes in a VR environment, or view houses in VR.”

Ms. Smith was pleasantly surprised.

She had seen the high operability of “blockchain” corresponding to “blockcoin” topics recently, which gave her the idea to incubate the new concept of “metaverse.”

But she hadn’t expected Luan Yenan to already have more concrete, practical ideas in mind, which delighted her and made her excited to discuss further with Luan Yenan.

Even Professor Smith, who had been expressionless at first, engaged in technical discussions with Luan Yenan and even invited her to visit his lab to explore potential collaborations on various projects.

Luan Yenan didn’t refuse any of these.

Halfway through the conversation, she even brought in a few friends with good relations to the Smith family to join.

Eventually, she directly pulled Luan Yenan in front of everyone to chat together.

This made the surrounding Omegas completely starry-eyed, directly ignoring the fact that she already had a wife.

Luan Yenan seized the moment to delegate much of the introduction work to Zuo Baixuan.

“This is my wife, Zuo Baixuan. She’s also the largest shareholder in our company, holding more shares than I do, and has a significant say in the company.” Luan Yenan stated calmly.

This caused quite a stir in many people’s hearts.

Zuo Baixuan also didn’t expect Luan Yenan to introduce her so suddenly in this manner.

She gripped Luan Yenan’s hand tighter.

Luan Yenan, however, looked at her with a calm smile, her expression clearly saying she could handle it, no problem.

Encouraged by this gaze, Zuo Baixuan looked at the people around her, her demeanor changing.

Although she lacked experience facing so many big families, she wasn’t nervous.

She had actively participated in the work and meetings at “Yituan” discussing future prospects.

In terms of vision and creativity, and presence, she was slightly less than Luan Yenan, but she wasn’t timid.

By the end of the summit, everyone had also witnessed Zuo Baixuan’s charm.

Those eager Omegas took a deep breath, deeply understanding why these two were such a good match.

This summit, conducted in the form of a gala, was more about connecting everyone, building networks, and letting these industry leaders set the direction for the next year’s technological trends.

It quickly moved into its official closing phase, with everyone enjoying snacks and drinks, waiting for the New Year’s Eve fireworks to add some excitement.

During this time, many came to toast the Luan-Zuo couple.

Luan Yenan stopped Zuo Baixuan as she was about to drink her second glass: “You have a low alcohol tolerance and still want to drink so much?”

Zuo Baixuan shook her glass: “It’s fine.”

“Have you forgotten how bold you were last time you got drunk, or are you really not afraid of me anymore?” Luan Yenan teased with a threatening tone.

Zuo Baixuan rolled her eyes lightly.

But indeed.

The sticky, ambiguous state between them started after she got drunk.

But that time, the drunkenness was more due to being upset.

Today, she’s happy, so she probably won’t get drunk, right?

Besides…

“It’s not like you’d let me off even if I weren’t drunk.” Zuo Baixuan whispered in Luan Yenan’s ear.

The breath tickled every cell on Luan Yenan’s ear.

Luan Yenan took a shallow breath, unsure if this vexing little white flower was explaining, complaining, or deliberately teasing at this moment.

Luan Yenan held Zuo Baixuan’s waist, not giving her any extra explanation, but instead smiled at the approaching person: “Sorry, my wife has an early flight back to China tomorrow, there’s a lot she needs to handle back home, she’s had enough to drink tonight. I’ll take her glass.”

The person, who was just there to get acquainted with Luan Yenan, naturally didn’t mind about a glass of wine, which was just for fun. After Luan Yenan downed the glass in one go, they chatted briefly before moving on to others.

Zuo Baixuan was surprised: “How did you know I bought a ticket for tomorrow morning?”

Luan Yenan smiled at her: “You might have forgotten, the card you used is under my name. I can see your flight tickets, I just happened to have my phone off and missed it. When you bought the ticket this afternoon, a text was sent to my phone informing me of the transaction.”

Zuo Baixuan looked at Luan Yenan, waiting for a while. But this person didn’t take the opportunity to force her to cancel the ticket or change the flight time to leave later.

Her prepared reasons became useless.

But she was satisfied with the freedom Luan Yenan gave her and smiled: “It’s good that you understand, I still have to go back to prepare for my final exams.”

“Mm.” Luan Yenan just suppressed her emotions and responded softly.

Zuo Baixuan, after gaining enough sense of security, her nature of seeking excitement revealed itself, and now in the midst of uncontrollable excitement, she felt a bit bored.

She turned over and pinched Luan Yenan’s ear: “But isn’t it a bit of a buzzkill not letting me drink?”

Luan Yenan grabbed Zuo Baixuan’s hand and placed it on her own chest: “I think you’re being a bit too bold now, not afraid of getting drunk, not afraid of danger, this is a foreign country, and everyone around is a stranger.”

Zuo Baixuan, who could only handle one glass of wine, was already a bit tipsy. She poked Luan Yenan’s shoulder and laughed: “You’re not a stranger. With you here, what danger should I fear? Among so many people, none are as capable as you, right? Top-tier Alpha, who would dare to provoke you?”

Hearing Zuo Baixuan say this, Luan Yenan’s heart softened.

Of course, she would protect her, and indeed, no one here should be able to withstand the attack of a top-tier Alpha, let alone an Alpha with an immune deficiency to pheromones.

But, Zuo Baixuan certainly couldn’t withstand it either.

Luan Yenan reached out and touched Zuo Baixuan’s head, smiling: “You probably don’t know how silly you look when you’re drunk. Last time I didn’t get a chance to record it, this time I’ll record it for you to see.”

As she spoke, she reached for her phone.

Zuo Baixuan quickly pressed it down, her dissatisfaction doubling, muttering: “What’s wrong with you? I was saying nice things about you, and you’re still like this, bullying me… I need to go to the bathroom.”

Luan Yenan grabbed Zuo Baixuan’s hand.

“Not even letting me go to the bathroom?” Zuo Baixuan turned around with a pitiful expression.

Luan Yenan really couldn’t help but laugh, lightly hugging Zuo Baixuan and kissing her hair: “How could I not let you go? Whatever you want to do, I’ll help you.”

“Going to the bathroom doesn’t require help.” Zuo Baixuan didn’t catch the implication in Luan Yenan’s words, her steps swaying.

Luan Yenan didn’t forcibly hold her, just followed behind, accompanying her step by step until she successfully entered the bathroom.

She didn’t care how strange it looked for an Alpha to stand outside an Omega’s bathroom, just stood there, watching time pass.

Until she saw a pair of high heels with silk edges at the end of the corridor.

Luan Yenan looked up to see Si Ruxin walking over with a smile.

“You really are the epitome of Alpha virtue, even waiting outside the bathroom for your wife?”

“Could you go in and check for me?” Luan Yenan said as if it were the most natural thing.

Why should Si Ruxin help? She pretended not to hear: “If what you said today is true. Regardless of the Si family’s future attitude towards you, I personally would like to collaborate with you.”

“Are you implying that the Si family might act against me in the future?” Luan Yenan retorted.

Both were smart, there was no need to spell things out.

Si Ruxin shrugged: “How to put it, initially when the family asked me to come to the capital to meet you, I really thought it was purely for collaboration. I didn’t expect they had anticipated I would like your type and fall for you myself.”

She was being blunt, but Luan Yenan wasn’t standing here to listen to her confession, and looked down at the time again.

Zuo Baixuan had been in for three minutes, was everything okay?

Si Ruxin snapped her fingers: “Hey! What I mean is, although you are indeed my type, I won’t become anyone’s accomplice.”

Luan Yenan lowered her head without speaking.

For Si Ruxin, she was just a pawn, used by her family or by those behind her family, something she couldn’t control.

Not being an accomplice by intention doesn’t mean not becoming one in reality.

But Luan Yenan might also use her, so she didn’t say much, just smiled.

“Got it, I’ll go back to Jiangcheng after returning to China, but not in the short term, you’ll have to wait.”

“That’s fine, I’ll wait.” Si Ruxin replied.

“Wait for what, it should be me, as the wife, who waits.” Zuo Baixuan suddenly stumbled out of the bathroom, throwing herself into Luan Yenan’s arms.

Luan Yenan didn’t hesitate to hold this prickly little white flower.

Si Ruxin was also seeing Zuo Baixuan’s fierce look for the first time, “Hiss” she took a breath.

No wonder Luan Yenan was waiting at the door, Zuo Baixuan was already drunk!

Then she couldn’t help but find it amusing: “I see now, usually very reserved, says she doesn’t get jealous, but when she does, she’s more intense than anyone. For a photo, she flew across the ocean to New York, still holding back. Now after drinking, she can’t hold back anything.”

Zuo Baixuan, in the midst of her alcohol-induced high, didn’t catch what Si Ruxin was saying, just found her noisy, buried her head in Luan Yenan’s chest: “Let’s go back, don’t talk to her, I don’t like her!”

She was truly jealous, speaking out the truths she usually kept hidden in her heart.

Luan Yenan patted Zuo Baixuan’s head.

Si Ruxin thought that now, firmly in the position of Luan Yenan’s collaborator, she would at least get a word of comfort.

But no.

Luan Yenan just followed Zuo Baixuan’s words, leading her away.

But Si Ruxin couldn’t even ask a follow-up question, because Luan Yenan’s endlessly gentle gaze made her heart tremble, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Alright, she admitted, she was jealous of Zuo Baixuan.

Luan Yenan was outstanding, and such an outstanding person, for her sake, wouldn’t even glance at others, her heart and eyes full of Zuo Baixuan, who wouldn’t be jealous?

Zuo Baixuan, leaving Si Ruxin’s vicinity, contentedly nuzzled Luan Yenan’s chest: “Very good, our Ah Nan.”

Luan Yenan curled her lips, stroking Zuo Baixuan’s head: “I think you’re the good one, after drinking, surprisingly honest.”

“Really? Why do you say that?” Zuo Baixuan, led by Luan Yenan to the window, asked puzzled.

“Because you’re completely different from usual.”

“Maybe now is the act, and usual is the real me?”

Zuo Baixuan, even drunk, had her own set of logic, something Luan Yenan had long known.

Luan Yenan smiled, encircling Zuo Baixuan’s waist, fully displaying a possessive stance, her eyes tender, but her aura outwardly imposing.

No one would approach anymore, leaving enough space for the couple.

“You’re right, being different after drinking must have its reasons. You can have your secrets, because I have mine too.” Luan Yenan said with a smile.

Zuo Baixuan looked into Luan Yenan’s eyes for a long time.

Suddenly, she reached out to touch Luan Yenan’s face: “Ah Nan, why do you look a bit sad?”

Luan Yenan didn’t answer.

Ding.

The countdown to the New Year was about to begin, the lights at the gala venue were all turned off.

This year’s New Year coincided with the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.

The night was as dark as ink, but a bright full moon hung in the sky, its light falling on Luan Yenan and Zuo Baixuan’s faces, tracing the contours and lines of their facial features.

The madness hidden in Luan Yenan’s eyes was familiar to Zuo Baixuan, but the fleeting sadness was what she cared about more.

Bang—!!!

Fireworks representing the arrival of the New Year exploded brilliantly in the night sky.

“Make a wish, don’t be sad, I wish us a smooth year. So we will be smooth!” Zuo Baixuan’s eyes reflected the light of the fireworks, also mirroring Luan Yenan’s smile.

“Mm, it will be smooth.” Luan Yenan lowered her head.

Zuo Baixuan naturally closed her eyes.

The first kiss of the New Year, she didn’t want to refuse at all, even somewhat looked forward to it.

In a foreign land, at the beginning of the New Year, everything was interesting.

But the warm lips landed on her forehead.

Zuo Baixuan looked at Luan Yenan puzzled, that unfamiliar polite distance had returned.

But maybe it was just her imagination.

Luan Yenan stared at her, then lowered her head again.

Zuo Baixuan raised her head, closing her eyes once more.

This time, the kiss landed on the tip of her nose.

What’s going on!

Zuo Baixuan opened her eyes again, staring at Luan Yenan.

Luan Yenan was satisfied, lightly patting Zuo Baixuan’s head.

But Zuo Baixuan grabbed Luan Yenan’s collar.

How could it end like this? She hadn’t even tasted the first sip of vodka in the New Year.

Zuo Baixuan stood on tiptoe, heading for the most mellow direction for a deep kiss.

Luan Yenan couldn’t dodge in time, only furrowing her brows to accept the kiss.

But soon relaxed.

Zuo Baixuan smacked her lips, finding it strange.

She didn’t taste the vodka.

Well, never mind, Luan Yenan’s own flavor was quite sweet.

The deep kiss under the fireworks carried the capriciousness of the night breeze.

Luan Yenan held Zuo Baixuan tighter and tighter.

…

Back at the hotel.

Zuo Baixuan was half-sober, somewhat regretting the proactive kiss under the fireworks, which gave Luan Yenan much room to advance further.

But she was also prepared for a wild night with Luan Yenan.

After all, according to the sudden increase in workload Luan Yenan had given her, she wouldn’t be returning to China anytime soon, and after returning, she would be on continuous business trips to other provinces.

The night before a long separation was bound to be wild.

But to her surprise, after taking an early shower and coming out wrapped in a bathrobe, Luan Yenan was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, the study door was tightly shut.

“???”

Workaholic to this extent?

Is work really more interesting than me?

Zuo Baixuan looked at herself in the mirror, suddenly finding this thought dangerous, and quickly shook her head.

What am I thinking!

If she’s not sleeping, then she’s not.

I have an early flight tomorrow, need to sleep early and get up early!

Thinking this, Zuo Baixuan threw herself onto the bed.

After lying for a while, her body, whether from the alcohol or something else, felt uncomfortably hot and she couldn’t sleep. Displeased, she got up, following the dim night light to the bar to pour water.

Staring at the crack under the study door, suddenly the light from the crack disappeared.

Luan Yenan turned off the light!

Her hand holding the water glass trembled slightly.

But until she gulped down the water, Luan Yenan didn’t come out, and a strange sense of grievance arose in her heart. She walked to the study door with longing eyes and knocked.

Author’s note:

Before (sober) Zuo Baixuan: This crazy woman, such a bad taste!

Now (drunk) Zuo Baixuan: Is my wife getting tired of me, why isn’t she touching me?
