Transmigrating Before The Crazy Beauty Scum A Loses Control - Chapter 72
Luan Yenan had been busy abroad for a long time. Leveraging the fame of her “Blockcoin” and the widespread application of “cloud computing” she quickly opened up markets overseas. Chen Huanyu’s overseas connections were also fully utilized by Luan Yenan.
During this period, Professor Smith even brought Luan Yecha to visit her once. Luan Yenan looked at her cousin, whom she had previously refused to meet, who had humbly begged his mentor to bring him along. After the meeting, he awkwardly mentioned that Luan Lizheng hoped Luan Yenan could collaborate with “Frontend” keeping the benefits within the family.
Luan Yenan left with just one comment: “Now you don’t consider yourself an outsider, do you?”
The brief meeting ended unhappily, clearly expressing Luan Yenan’s stance: no one gets special treatment; everyone must compete fairly, with clear prices.
Later, Luan Muyin called Luan Yenan, saying that her “heartless” attitude had infuriated Luan Lizheng, who had nowhere to vent his anger and ended up ranting at home.
“Mom, are you and Mom okay? Did he give you a hard time?” Luan Yenan frowned, mainly worried about Luan Xing’s situation.
“We’re fine, nothing happened. Xingxing even laughed it off later.” came the reply.
Luan Xing’s voice followed from the other end of the phone: “Don’t listen to Muyin’s nonsense. I didn’t laugh it off!”
“Then what?”
“I just had a good appetite that afternoon and ate a couple more pastries.”
“More like a whole plate, at least…”
“The kid is listening, don’t talk nonsense.”
“That’s exactly why I’m saying it. Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore.”
The bickering ended with Luan Muyin giving in.
Luan Xing then took over the phone and started chattering to Luan Yenan.
“Yenan, remember to rest well while you’re abroad, eat on time, and take care of your health. Money can’t be earned all at once. We know you have your goals, but take it slow. Baixuan came over for dinner these past few days and has lost weight, all because you’ve been keeping her busy. You two are really something.”
Listening to her mothers bickering and sharing their daily lives and concerns, Luan Yenan felt a surge of emotion.
She tightened her grip on the phone, but resting was out of the question now. Whether it was the Qin family, Luan Lizheng, or other covetous families, she needed to settle things as soon as possible.
After hanging up, she threw herself back into work.
These were just minor episodes in her busy daily life.
As she prepared to return home, she thought about Zuo Baixuan, who must have been busy with final exams and her thesis, replying less and less to messages. She decided not to disturb her.
Luan Yenan posted her schedule on the company’s cloud for public access.
She even received a reminder from Chen Huanyu: “Such a detailed schedule, be careful of assassination attempts.”
Luan Yenan wasn’t afraid. If someone couldn’t hold back and acted, it would be a good thing, saving her the trouble of dealing with their schemes.
After arranging her subsequent schedule and confirming her return date, she also contacted the Si family.
She reached out to the Si family through official channels, but they still sent Si Ruxin to liaise with her.
“Don’t overthink it. Whether you call our company’s front desk or directly call my dad, they’ll still send me to pick you up.” Si Ruxin said over the phone, as if advising Luan Yenan.
Luan Yenan replied, “This is my attitude.”
“Alright, alright, we all know our Luan always adheres to Alpha ethics. It’s me who’s being clingy, okay? Send me your flight details, and I’ll personally pick you up. Don’t worry, I’ve really given up on pursuing you.” Si Ruxin joked.
Her tone was slightly different from usual, and it was unclear whether she had truly given up or changed her strategy.
Luan Yenan remained firm in her rejection: “No need. I’ll contact you the day after I arrive in Jiangcheng and settle in.”
“Don’t be like that. I’ve already planned a welcome dinner for you. I’ll screen and gather the influential people in Jiangcheng who want to meet you. It’ll save a lot of trouble.”
Luan Yenan thought about it; it was indeed a good suggestion to speed things up, and having Si Ruxin, a local, handle it would simplify matters: “Send me the guest list for review.”
“Tsk… You’re treating me like an employee when I just want to collaborate with you.”
Luan Yenan didn’t respond, silently continuing to handle the documents at hand.
Si Ruxin, realizing her complaints were met with silence, gritted her teeth. She shouldn’t have expected anything from Luan Yenan and hung up without another word.
Luan Yenan glanced at her phone, confirmed that Zuo Baixuan hadn’t sent any messages, and set it aside to continue working.
Si Ruxin was efficient. That afternoon, she sent the finalized guest list to Luan Yenan’s email. After some minor adjustments, the time, location, and attendees were confirmed.
The return journey was uneventful, except for the tight layover time and a delayed flight due to turbulence, making the trip a bit rushed.
Only after landing in Jiangcheng, with two bodyguards in tow, did Luan Yenan think about Si Ruxin’s offer to arrange her accommodation and transportation in Jiangcheng. She considered calling to see if Si Ruxin had arrived; if not, she would just take a taxi and leave.
Just as she took out her phone and before she could turn off airplane mode, she saw Si Ruxin hopping out of a luxury car in front of her, immediately dispersing the crowd around.
“Long time no see, Luan. Shall we go?” Si Ruxin smiled.
Luan Yenan put away her phone, looked at the luxury car, and then at her two bodyguards.
“The bodyguards can take another car, you come with me first.” Si Ruxin said eagerly, opening the door for Luan Yenan.
Luan Yenan gave her a suspicious look but said nothing, getting into the car.
As soon as they settled, Si Ruxin pressed a button to draw the car’s side curtains.
Luan Yenan watched Si Ruxin’s actions, her expression slightly displeased: “What do you want from me?”
“…”
Caught off guard.
Si Ruxin cleared her throat: “Nothing, really, I just thought since you’re my guest today and your wife isn’t here, maybe you could be my dance partner?”
“No.” Luan Yenan shook her head.
“Why not? It’s just dancing, nothing else!” Si Ruxin pleaded softly.
Luan Yenan reached out to open the curtains, ignoring Si Ruxin’s coquetry.
This confirmed one thing for Luan Yenan: she didn’t enjoy seeing others act coy, nor did she like seeing beautiful Omegas act coy. She only enjoyed seeing Zuo Baixuan’s different expressions when drunk.
Or perhaps if the sober little white flower could act coy…
She didn’t dare think further.
Thinking of Zuo Baixuan, Luan Yenan’s expression softened slightly, then she replied to Si Ruxin: “I don’t plan to dance tonight, so being a dance partner is meaningless.”
“Tonight is just a normal social event. Dancing could make things easier for me and reduce trouble for you. For example, those eager Omegas won’t bother you.” Si Ruxin persuaded.
Luan Yenan remained unmoved.
She understood that Si Ruxin wanted to leverage her influence.
Just like Luo Yun initially agreed to collaborate with her, wanting to showcase her value to the elders.
Everything Si Ruxin had now was given by the Si family. Even though she had gained some status in the international design circle, most of the resources currying favor with her were for the Si family’s connections.
Si Ruxin needed to establish her own voice in the short term and had to find a force outside the Si family.
The simplest way was to marry.
Originally, Luan Yenan was a good candidate, but seeing how unyielding she was, Si Ruxin decided not to push her luck.
But that didn’t stop her from creating an atmosphere where she and Luan Yenan seemed close.
However, Luan Yenan didn’t want unnecessary trouble.
“Don’t worry, this dinner is your invitation, and I’ve accepted. People will naturally know about our collaboration. Not to mention, we’ve attended summits abroad. Rest assured, I’ve already told some companies overseas that I’ll prioritize your studio for designs. Isn’t that generous enough?” Luan Yenan looked ahead as the luxury car descended from the airport expressway into the bustling city of Jiangcheng.
Si Ruxin clicked her tongue.
This level of cooperation wasn’t what she wanted, but since Luan Yenan wouldn’t budge, there was nothing she could do without risking a strained relationship.
She crossed her arms and asked, “Aren’t you worried about all those Omegas swarming around you?”
Luan Yenan snorted.
Si Ruxin was puzzled by her reaction when suddenly, her breath hitched.
This wasn’t a psychological effect but a real physical reaction.
The driver, a Beta, didn’t sense anything unusual.
But Si Ruxin almost immediately started clawing at her throat.
She didn’t smell any pheromones.
But she was certain this was the suppression from a top-tier Alpha’s pheromones!
But she was an Omega!
An S-class Omega!
Alphas and Omegas, in terms of physiological structure, are like the two poles of a magnet, naturally attracting each other.
Even if an Alpha and Omega don’t love each other, their genetic programming dictates that Alphas have a possessive desire towards Omegas, seeking courtship and reproductive rights, while Omegas are naturally aroused.
This can involve suppression and being suppressed, the victor’s indulgence and the weak’s fear, but it should never be complete rejection and a physiological reaction of suffocation!
Si Ruxin’s pupils trembled, her eyes filled with fear, her hands clutching her throat, her feet kicking the driver’s seat.
The driver was confused. Even if Luan Yenan had rejected her, Miss Si, who was always well-mannered, shouldn’t be kicking the seat.
“Miss, any instructions?”
Luan Yenan then rolled down the window and looked outside.
She had indeed released her pheromones.
But they were different from usual.
She didn’t know what they were. They were a new substance her glands had unexpectedly produced after the pain in her neck intensified during her time in New York.
She had seen a doctor.
After tests, the doctor only said it was an ultra-high concentration of pheromones, best not released in crowded environments, or she could be detained by the authorities, possibly even imprisoned.
But the doctor also muttered that this ultra-high concentration of pheromones was colorless and odorless, like alcohol distilled countless times, causing only rejection and suffocation, almost undetectable.
Luan Yenan knew this would be very effective in driving away unwanted attention.
Sure enough, in New York, no Omega dared to approach her casually, and the same went for Alphas.
After several attempts, Luan Yenan even mastered this skill and visited the hospital again.
The doctor who saw her, after learning the context, couldn’t help but call her crazy.
Luan Yenan smiled, satisfied with the doctor’s reaction, and filed a complaint about his attitude.
Facing Si Ruxin just now, Luan Yenan used the same trick.
It worked well.
Si Ruxin, catching her breath, looked at Luan Yenan in disbelief.
This behavior was practically on the level of a biochemical weapon!
If it weren’t for the fact that Si Ruxin still needed Luan Yenan to boost her image, she would have called the authorities to have Luan Yenan taken away for research. Perhaps in a few months, there could be pheromone deterrence alongside nuclear deterrence.
“Only Zuo Baixuan could put up with you! This lunatic, so capricious and hard to talk to… personality!” Si Ruxin wanted to curse more but feared Luan Yenan might use the same trick again, so she held back.
Hearing Si Ruxin mention Zuo Baixuan.
Luan Yenan’s face turned colder.
If others couldn’t handle it, Zuo Baixuan probably couldn’t either.
Several doctors abroad had said this manifestation almost certainly indicated a recurrence of pheromone immunodeficiency syndrome, advising a follow-up during the next susceptible cycle.
Luan Yenan’s eyes darkened.
Seeing Luan Yenan’s grim expression, Si Ruxin didn’t want to chat anymore. She quickly took her to the hotel, delivered a custom-made dress, and escorted her to the banquet hall.
She had booked the best hotel in Jiangcheng, selected the finest dishes, and prepared a welcome party for Luan Yenan.
Now standing beside Luan Yenan, she glanced at her hand, hesitated for a moment, then met Luan Yenan’s aloof gaze.
This woman, covered in thorns and exuding danger, was undeniably captivating.
Si Ruxin was annoyed at herself for still being unable to resist her charm even after being threatened in the car.
In the end, she reluctantly compromised: “I won’t hold your arm! Can I just stand beside you?!”
Luan Yenan didn’t refuse. Dressed in a tight purple gown, she entered the hall with Si Ruxin, who loved wearing cheongsams as usual.
Si Ruxin had to adjust her pace to match Luan Yenan’s.
The protagonist’s grand entrance didn’t displease anyone. In fact, someone started clapping, and soon the whole room joined in.
Si’s father, with his bulky frame, quickly approached, patted Si Ruxin’s back, and laughed heartily: “Ruxin, you really have the charm. Luan, it’s an honor to finally meet you. We’ve been trying to invite you but never succeeded. Today is truly a special occasion.”
Luan Yenan knew every word he said was deliberate, his ulterior motives evident in each sentence.
But no matter how much Si’s father hinted at a potential relationship between Si Ruxin and Luan Yenan, it didn’t stop waves of people from approaching Luan Yenan throughout the evening, wanting to get to know her.
Not just to meet her, but also to introduce their children, both male and female, all beautiful Omegas.
Si Ruxin stood by, her expression sour. Although she and Luan Yenan had no real relationship, not even agreeing to a night of pretense, seeing everyone so blatant made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
“Can you all tone it down a bit?” Si Ruxin couldn’t hold back and scolded.
“What’s wrong with that? It’s not like you’re standing here openly either.”
Luan Yenan didn’t remember which family’s daughter spoke, but it was clear she and Si Ruxin didn’t get along.
Si Ruxin immediately retorted: “Funny, I’ve known Luan Yenan for a long time. At least we’re friends, which is more intimate than you. How is that not open?”
“Luan is so outstanding, we just want to be friends. Here, Luan, let me toast you. Oops…” Another male Omega approached from a different direction.
And without warning, he bumped into her.
Luan Yenan, having seen many such advances in her past life, didn’t hesitate to step aside and even gave a slight push.
The male Omega, feeling his foot actually being tripped, widened his eyes and fell straight to the ground.
Everyone around was momentarily stunned.
Si Ruxin burst out laughing.
It seemed Luan Yenan had been quite polite to her before.
Si Ruxin laughed so hard she leaned against Luan Yenan, lightly patting her arm: “That’s so you.”
Luan Yenan just looked at her, warning her with her eyes to leave soon, or she might get hurt by the pheromones.
The surrounding Omegas and Alphas almost simultaneously felt an overwhelming suppression.
Si Ruxin’s expression slowly stiffened, wanting to escape before Luan Yenan embarrassed her.
But a sudden chill froze her limbs, and she even thought she heard a death knell.
“Yenan.”
Hiss—
The death knell really rang, crisp and clear.
Si Ruxin, stiff, turned with Luan Yenan.
They saw a girl in a cherry blossom-colored dress, her hair up, slightly out of breath, her face showing a mix of shyness and nervousness, appearing at the banquet hall’s entrance.
The staff at the door looked conflicted, half-following her as she entered.
“Baixuan, why are you here?” Luan Yenan instinctively stepped back.
Zuo Baixuan’s smiling face flashed with a cold light, her eyes quickly scanning the banquet hall.
Almost all the eligible Omegas were gathered around Luan Yenan, not to mention Si Ruxin was currently clinging to her arm.
Her gaze finally settled on Luan Yenan.
Seeing Luan Yenan step back, her heart clenched.
Her hands behind her back tightened.
Complex emotions brewed.
A suffocating feeling rose in her chest, not anger, but a salty, damp sense of grievance.
She felt wronged that Luan Yenan hadn’t told her about her return, had met Si Ruxin upon landing, attended a banquet with her as her dance partner, and was surrounded by so many admirers. What did that make her?
Could she still be considered her wife?
Had she found a better partner and was ready to dissolve their partnership?
Was it also from the heart when she casually mentioned “divorce” in front of Qin Yuancheng?
Countless questions filled her with grievance.
But she also felt she deserved it.
Luan Yenan was the client; she wasn’t obligated to wait for her, indulge her, or report every detail of her life daily.
Divorce was also a condition she had set in the contract.
She shouldn’t have grown attached to Luan Yenan’s kindness or demanded too much from her.
Her conflicted state wasn’t something Luan Yenan had any obligation to indulge.
But…
Zuo Baixuan silently released her fists.
She lifted her skirt and ran towards Luan Yenan.
The staff didn’t react in time, but Si Ruxin waved them off.
Zuo Baixuan smoothly ran to Luan Yenan.
Luan Yenan looked at the little white flower she hadn’t seen in a long time, now blooming in pink, her eyes flickering with surprise, astonishment, and fear.
Various thoughts crossed her mind, but in the end, they all turned into a reluctance to get close or let her get close.
She subtly stepped back half a step, trying to use this as a buffer to retract the high-concentration pheromones she had just released. The pain in the back of her neck made her frown.
Zuo Baixuan lightly ran to Luan Yenan, dropped her skirt, and threw herself into Luan Yenan’s arms, hugging her: “I saw you posted your schedule on the company cloud. I happened to be in Jiangcheng with Lingdan, and since I hadn’t seen you in a while, I thought I’d surprise you.”
It wasn’t a coincidence.
It wasn’t because she saw you leave with Si Ruxin and felt upset.
It wasn’t out of frustration, regardless of whether it would be awkward, she rented a dress and showed up here.
“I missed you so much. Did you miss me, Yenan?”
Zuo Baixuan spoke softly, but seeing Luan Yenan’s usual suppressed madness replaced by a slight frown, she couldn’t help but bite her lip. It hurt; she felt a bit breathless.
Luan Yenan, unaware of the subtle changes in Zuo Baixuan’s expression, just wanted to hold her tightly, regardless of whether the pheromones had dissipated.
But in the end, she restrained herself, giving only a light pat on the head.
“Why are you here? Of course, I missed you. It’s a pleasant surprise.”
To others, compared to Luan Yenan’s earlier attitude, this seemed incredibly tender.
They looked at the male Omega still on the ground and then at the Omega in Luan Yenan’s arms receiving a head pat.
This was the difference between indifference and love, right?
But Zuo Baixuan had experienced Luan Yenan’s more passionate responses before. These three sentences felt more like perfunctory remarks, as if she had ruined something important and Luan Yenan just wanted to brush her off.
Zuo Baixuan lowered her eyes, suppressing the grievance in her heart, her forehead lightly resting on Luan Yenan’s collarbone. Seizing the moment, she asked the question she had been holding back: “Did you really miss me? But you didn’t reply to my messages for a whole day!”
Luan Yenan was momentarily stunned.
When she messaged Zuo Baixuan, sometimes she wouldn’t reply, and sometimes she would reply in a concentrated time frame.
Luan Yenan didn’t mind because when she was busy, by the time she contacted her again, it was already three to five hours later.
So she thought Zuo Baixuan didn’t mind either.
If there was an emergency at the company, they would contact her bodyguards, so she wasn’t heavily reliant on her phone.
Today, she had been busy with flights and layovers, and her phone was still in airplane mode.
Before Luan Yenan could explain, Zuo Baixuan looked up again, scanned the room, then focused back on Luan Yenan’s face, cupping it: “But it’s okay if you forgot because you were busy. You’ve seen me now.”
Luan Yenan’s eyes softened, sighing inwardly, realizing once again that Zuo Baixuan’s performative personality was at play. In front of others, Zuo Baixuan’s acting was always top-notch.
Zuo Baixuan, seeing Luan Yenan’s still less fervent attitude compared to their time in New York, felt a chill in her heart and a sourness in her nose.
She had already grown accustomed to the madness the madwoman exerted on her.
