Si Ruxin immediately said, "That's ridiculous. Luan Yenan and I have known each other for a long time, and we're at least friends. We're much closer than you two, so why isn't it aboveboard?"
"President Luan is so outstanding, we just want to make friends. Come on, President Luan, let me toast you, oh..." As he spoke, a male Omega was about to walk over from another direction.
And it crashed into us without any warning.
In his previous life, Luan Yenan had seen many such advances, so he didn't hesitate at all, stepping aside and even kicking her.
The male Omega's eyes widened the instant he felt himself trip over something. He fell straight to the ground.
Everyone around was stunned for a moment.
Si Ruxin burst into laughter on the spot.
Luan Yenan has always been quite polite to me.
Si Ruxin laughed until she was exhausted, then leaned against Luan Yenan and patted her arm, saying with a smile, "As expected of you."
Luan Yenan simply looked at her, his eyes warning her to leave as soon as possible, or she wouldn't be blamed for accidentally injuring herself with her pheromones.
The surrounding Omegas and Alphas felt an immense suppression almost simultaneously.
Si Ruxin's expression slowly stiffened, and she wanted to escape before Luan Yenan could embarrass her.
A sudden chill ran through him, and he froze, even hearing the tolling of a death knell.
"Anan."
hiss--
The death knell really did toll, and it rang out clearly.
Si Ruxin stiffened and turned around at the same time as Luan Yenan.
Then, a girl in a cherry blossom-colored dress appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall, her hair up, breathing lightly, her face showing youthful shyness.
The waiter at the door looked troubled, as if he couldn't stop her, and half-followed her inside.
"Xuanxuan, what brings you here?" Luan Yenan subconsciously took a step back.
A cold glint flashed across Zuo Baixuan's smiling face as her eyes quickly scanned the banquet hall.
Almost all the eligible Omegas gathered around Luan Yenan, not to mention Si Ruxin was leaning against Luan Yenan at this moment, holding her arm.
Her gaze finally settled on Luan Yenan.
Seeing Luan Yenan take a step back, I felt a lump in my throat.
The hands hidden behind her back were clenched tightly.
Complex emotions were brewing.
She felt a tightness in her chest, not from anger, but from a salty, aggrieved feeling.
She felt wronged because Luan Yenan hadn't told her he was coming back to China. He not only met Si Ruxin after landing, but also attended a banquet with her and became her dance partner. With so many beautiful women around him, what was he?
Can I still be considered her wife?
Does she think she can terminate her partnership with me now that she has found a better business partner?
Was the ease with which she said "divorce" in front of Qin Yuancheng that day truly from the bottom of her heart?
Countless questions were tinged with grievance.
But she also felt that she deserved it.
Luan Yenan is the client; she has no obligation to wait for him, to indulge him, or to report every little detail to him every day.
Divorce was also a requirement I left in the contract.
She shouldn't have been greedy for Luan Yenan's kindness, and she shouldn't have made too many demands on him.
Luan Yenan has no obligation to indulge her in this awkward state.
But……
Zuo Baixuan silently loosened her fist.
She lifted her skirt and jogged towards Luan Yenan.
Before the waiters could react, Si Ruxin waved to them.
Zuo Baixuan ran smoothly toward Luan Yenan.
Looking at the small white flower that had bloomed with pink light after a long time, Luan Yenan's eyes sparkled with surprise, unexpectedness, and fear.
Various thoughts stirred within her, but in the end, they all turned into a reluctance to approach or let her get close.
She silently took a half step back, trying to use it as a buffer to suppress the high concentration of pheromones she had just released. The stinging pain on the back of her neck made her frown.
Zuo Baixuan ran lightly to Luan Yenan, put down her skirt, and threw herself into Luan Yenan's arms, hugging her: "I saw that you sent your schedule to the enterprise cloud. Lingdan and I just happened to be in Jiangcheng for fun. We haven't seen you in a long time, so we gave you a surprise."
It wasn't just a coincidence that we met.
It's not because I saw you and Si Ruxin leave that I'm upset.
Not because she was angry, nor because she cared about the awkwardness of coming here, she rented a dress and showed up here.
"I miss you so much, do you miss me, Anan?"
Zuo Baixuan spoke softly, but she noticed that Luan Yenan lacked his usual calm and collected demeanor, which suppressed his madness; he merely frowned slightly.
She couldn't help but bite her lip; it was so uncomfortable, she felt like she couldn't breathe.
At this moment, Luan Yenan failed to notice the subtle changes in Zuo Baixuan's expression. He simply wanted to hug her tightly, regardless of whether there were any pheromones left.
But Luan Yenan ultimately restrained himself and only gave a light pat on the head.
"Why are you here? Of course I missed you, I'm so surprised."
To onlookers, these words seemed incredibly gentle compared to Luan Yenan's attitude earlier.
Look at the male Omega who's still on the ground, unable to get up, and then look at the Omega in Luan Ye Nan's arms, receiving a head pat.
This is the difference between not loving and loving, right?
However, having experienced Luan Yenan's even more ardent response, Zuo Baixuan felt that these three sentences were more like a perfunctory reply, as if she had ruined Luan Yenan's plans and he wanted to brush her off and leave.
Zuo Baixuan lowered her eyes, suppressing the grievances in them. She gently pressed her forehead against Luan Yenan's collarbone and took the opportunity to ask the question she had been holding back all the way: "Do you really miss me? But you haven't replied to my messages all day!"
Luan Yenan was slightly taken aback.
Sometimes Zuo Baixuan wouldn't reply to my messages, and sometimes she would reply within a certain time period.
Luan Yenan didn't mind, because she was busy and it was three to five hours later when she contacted her again.
So she assumed that Zuo Baixuan didn't care either.
She would contact her bodyguards if there were any urgent matters at the company, so she wasn't very dependent on her phone.
I've been on planes or connecting flights all day, and I haven't had a chance to turn off airplane mode yet.
Before Luan Yenan could explain, Zuo Baixuan raised her head again, first scanning her surroundings before refocusing her gaze on Luan Yenan's face, and cupped her face, saying, "But never mind, it's okay if you're busy and forgot, you've seen me now."
Luan Yenan's eyes softened, and he felt a pang of emotion. It turned out that it was his performative personality acting up again. Zuo Baixuan's acting skills in front of others were always top-notch.
Zuo Baixuan noticed that Luan Yenan's attitude was still less enthusiastic than it had been in New York City.
A slight chill ran through me, and my nose stung with tears.
I seem to have gotten used to the madness that the crazy woman has inflicted on me.

Chapter 73
Zuo Baixuan's arrival caused all the flirtatious suitors around Luan Yenan to quiet down.
Si Ruxin waved her fan lightly, feeling dissatisfied, thinking that the official pairing was still the best.
Not to mention that Luan Yenan had an aversion to Omega even before his wife appeared. And the cooperation of the male Omega who just completed the floor move made the surrounding Omegas lose all intention of approaching.
Seeing that most of the people around her had disappeared, Zuo Baixuan turned her gaze to Si Ruxin: "Thank you so much, Miss Si, for your warm hospitality to Anan today."
Seeing Zuo Baixuan's current behavior, Si Ruxin suddenly covered her face with a round fan and laughed: "Miss Zuo, you're getting jealous without even drinking today? How cute. Isn't that right, President Luan?"
Zuo Baixuan remembered that Si Ruxin was echoing what she had said at the summit banquet. She also remembered what she had said while drunk, and looked at the person with dissatisfaction.
Luan Yenan glanced at Zuo Baixuan after hearing what Si Ruxin said.
Zuo Baixuan suppressed her dissatisfaction, but her face still clearly showed that she still didn't like her.
Luan Yenan was awakened by Si Ruxin's words.
Regardless of how much of Xiaobaihua's behavior is genuine or fake, her actions definitely indicate jealousy.
Regardless of the source of her jealousy, it made her laugh.
Hearing the laughter beside her, Zuo Baixuan looked at Luan Yenan with displeasure: "Are you laughing at me too?"
Luan Yenan didn't suppress his smile, but gently shook his head and put his arm around Zuo Baixuan's waist, saying to Si Ruxin, "Miss Si, let's not waste time with idle talk. Take us to formally introduce ourselves to everyone."
It means that the circle that just surrounded us wasn't enough to see.
These words made Si Ruxin feel a little embarrassed. When she was drafting the invitation list, she only thought about bringing in all the potential partners in the industry chain, but she overlooked the fact that many of these people were small and medium-sized enterprises.
Who wouldn't want to be associated with big corporations and powerful families? In such a mixed bag, there's no guarantee that some won't try to take shortcuts.
Putting aside everything else, even the prestigious Si family wanted to use connections.
Presenting Luan Yenan to these people at this moment is like throwing a piece of candy into an anthill.
Let Luan Yenan first greet the large families and corporations.
“Sure, let’s go. I’ll introduce you.” Si Ruxin said, walking ahead with a completely generous attitude.
Compared to before, when she intentionally or unintentionally approached Luan Yenan to demonstrate their friendly relationship, Si Ruxin felt much more comfortable in this current state.
