An hour later, Luan Yennan and Zuo Baixuan arrived at the airport.
The main group of business travelers has also arrived.
Because of the large number of people, Luan Yenan chose to charter a plane this time.
This is also why Zuo Baixuan struggled to get out of bed and didn't want to change flights; otherwise, it would be too obvious and unreasonable.
Even so, Jiang Lingdan's expression was still quite ambiguous when he saw his two wives.
"Is everyone here?" Luan Yenan asked the person in charge.
The person in charge nodded and reported the specific situation and arrangements upon arrival at the location to Luan Yenan.
During this brief moment, Jiang Lingdan kept her eyes fixed on Zuo Baixuan.
Zuo Baixuan couldn't stand being stared at any longer and looked back at her: "What are you looking at? How long have you been staring at me since I appeared? Don't get obsessed with me, or Senior Chen and Anan won't let you off the hook."
"Oh my, you've started to tell witty remarks now? That's amazing, little Zuo'er." Jiang Lingdan laughed heartily without restraint.
Zuo Baixuan finally understood that Jiang Lingdan must have started teasing her because she was late.
She had to retort, "Don't normal couples do this? Besides, we're a married couple. Don't you and Senior Chen do the same?"
Jiang Lingdan's expression froze for a moment, then turned to surprise.
Standing to the side, Chen Huanyu frantically waved her hands, stammering, "We...we didn't..."
Zuo Baixuan didn't believe it.
When couples are deeply in love, they are like children secretly watching TV during summer vacation. Those with strong self-control can restrain themselves, but why force themselves to restrain themselves when it is summer vacation?
Chen Huanyu said no, but she didn't believe her. Otherwise, why did she see Jiang Lingdan looking like she was in so much back pain that she couldn't sit or stand properly?
Jiang Lingdan quickly pulled Chen Huanyu, who had given herself away, aside.
Zuo Baixuan then heard Jiang Lingdan say, "Little Zuo'er definitely didn't mean that. Judging from her state, she definitely doesn't know..."
Zuo Baixuan frowned and followed, asking, "What do you mean? What don't I know?"
"Little Zuo, why are you like this? I was having a private chat with my senior. Go, go, go find your Anan. Don't bother us." Jiang Lingdan pushed Zuo Baixuan away with disgust.
Helpless, Zuo Baixuan walked back to Luan Yenan's side.
Luan Yenan had just finished chatting with the person in charge when he put his arm around Zuo Baixuan's waist and asked, "What's wrong? Why the expression?"
"It seems the elixir is hiding a secret from me," Zuo Baixuan said, glancing back at him.
While talking to Chen Huanyu, Jiang Lingdan didn't forget to confirm Zuo Baixuan's location.
"Look, look," Zuo Baixuan complained.
Luan Yenan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, put his arm around Zuo Baixuan's waist and walked towards the security checkpoint: "It's normal for them to have their own secrets, just like we have secrets too."
What secrets do we have?
Have you forgotten our trip to Wuhan?
"Huh? Aren't you taking them with you?" Zuo Baixuan was surprised.
Luan Yenan raised an eyebrow: "How much do you not want to be alone with me?"
Zuo Baixuan felt guilty: "That's not what I meant. It's just that Lingdan invited me to Jiangcheng last time, and I ran off with you instead of hanging out with her, right? I feel a little embarrassed."
“Oh, I was originally thinking of giving her a break to have some fun with Chen Huanyu, but since that’s the case, let’s have her be our tour guide for two days,” Luan Yenan said, nodding.
"Two days? Isn't there a three-day break...? What... are you going to do on the third day?" Zuo Baixuan asked, her voice tinged with a hint of wariness.
Although she couldn't avoid Luan Yenan on this trip.
It wasn't just Luan Yenan who was irresistibly drawn to her body; wasn't she just as obsessed?
Who could resist a voluptuous, mature woman who can be both gentle and wild?
However, she really couldn't stand it if it took a whole day...
"What are you thinking about?" Luan Yenan chuckled and gently poked Zuo Baixuan's head.
But that smile also carried a certain charm, causing Zuo Baixuan to be momentarily stunned. She lowered her head and, after a long while, managed to squeeze out a few words: "It's not impossible."
Luan Yenan was taken aback.
He took a light breath.
Zuo Baixuan!
Zuo Baixuan!!!
This person is really something; he has a demon inside him, but he refuses to admit it.
She always uses clever tricks to entice people.
It seems like it's time to get her into the fitness routine; we can't let her be the only one with excess energy.
Luan Yenan's eyes flickered.
Until Zuo Baixuan looked up again, accusingly saying, "Look, look, you said I was thinking about something else, but that's not what you meant?"
"That's not what I really meant. The last night was a planned celebration banquet," Luan Yenan replied with a smile.
Zuo Baixuan exclaimed "Ah!" realizing that she had actually misunderstood.
After successfully passing through security, Zuo Baixuan remembered another question: "The celebration banquet is tonight, so what about this morning? Are we going to sleep in?"
Luan Yennan looked at Zuo Baixuan and made no attempt to hide anything: "I plan to take you to a small village in Jiangcheng a day earlier."
"A small village? To experience the local customs and culture?" Zuo Baixuan asked with a smile, but seeing Luan Yenan's serious expression, she gradually stopped smiling. "What's wrong?"
Luan Yenan was silent for a while, then led Zuo Baixuan to a seat next to the boarding gate before slowly saying, "I originally wanted to wait until you had a good time before telling you all this."
Zuo Baixuan frowned slightly and stared at Luan Yenan, meaning she hoped that Luan Yenan would stop keeping her in suspense.
Luan Yenan put his arm around Zuo Baixuan's shoulder and said, "Your maternal grandparents passed away one after another before the formalities could be completed, and then your mother passed away as well. Not long after, you went to live with your adoptive parents."
Zuo Baixuan's body trembled, guessing a certain possibility. She turned her head and clung to Luan Yenan's shoulder, pressing her fingers into her muscles.
Luan Yenan decided to cut to the chase and get straight to the point: "I found this small village. Your maternal grandmother's relatives took their ashes and placed them in the village's ancestral graveyard. So... will this affect your journey?"
Luan Yenan felt uneasy, regretting telling Zuo Baixuan too early, and also regretting telling Zuo Baixuan too late.
There's no way I should tell her this now, right?
Sure enough, tears welled up in Zuo Baixuan's eyes.
The surrounding employees didn't hear the two leaders' whispers clearly. They only saw the boss's wife suddenly tear up, which startled them, and they dared not look in that direction again.
Zuo Baixuan threw herself into Luan Yenan's arms: "You're amazing. I had thought about it. My maternal grandmother's ancestral home is in Jiangcheng, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Have you been looking for a long time?"
Luan Yenan gently patted her back.
Hearing her slightly nasal voice, I felt so sorry for her that I didn't know what to say.
He could only nod and say, "Yes, I've been looking for it for a while."
Zuo Baixuan rested on Luan Yenan's shoulder, motionless.
Jiang Lingdan almost rolled up her sleeves and rushed over to fight Luan Yenan.
Luan Yenan raised his hand to stop her.
Jiang Lingdan didn't understand what was going on, but seeing the pained expression on Luan Yenan's face, she figured he wasn't bullying Zuo Baixuan, so she sat back down with some skepticism.
Zuo Baixuan calmed down for a while, then finally looked up and smiled broadly: "Oh, I see. You want to meet my parents? That makes sense, at least you got the order right this time. We should meet the parents first and then have the wedding."
Luan Yenan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled along with her: "Yes, I need to meet the parents first, then I can have a legitimate reason to be with them."
"Pfft. We were perfectly legitimate to begin with." Zuo Baixuan took the initiative to kiss Luan Yenan.
"Ah—" gasped in amazement from those around them.
It would be a lie to say I don't follow either of them.
I thought something had just happened, but it turns out it's just another trick to make people eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)!
Jiang Lingdan also let out a sigh of relief.
Over the next few days, the business trip team thoroughly investigated the Si family's businesses and planned the subsequent project progress.
Si Ruxin acted as the Si family's spokesperson throughout the event, cooperating with the attendance.
After completing the initial assessment, we also contacted some local small businesses to discuss the possibility of cooperation on smart home appliances.
Finally, Luan Yenan also went to the production factory in Jiangcheng, and even happened to run into Luo Yun, who was there to supervise the work.
Zuo Baixuan was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the factory she bought from Luo Yun was actually in Jiangcheng.
"Factory prices in Beijing are too high, I can't afford it. I just happened to meet Miss Si, so I decided to buy it here." Luo Yun is now dressing entirely according to her own preferences.
But unlike before, when they insisted on creating a deathly style, this time they simply had their hair permed and dyed in a unique way, and wore heavy makeup, which was enough to show their individuality.
"Alright, as long as everything is working well with the drone, don't delay my work," Luan Yennan instructed.
"Can you trust me to handle things?" Luo Yun patted Luan Yenan's shoulder with an ambiguous expression.
Luan Yenan ignored her and said to Zuo Baixuan, "Alright, our business trip is over."
"Activate vacation mode!" Zuo Baixuan responded enthusiastically.
Luan Yenan and she waved to each other and walked out.
Luo Yun said indignantly, "You're resting, but I still have to work overtime. You'll have to treat me to drinks later."
"Definitely, good wine!" Luan Yenan waved his hand without turning around.
Zuo Baixuan turned around and glanced back. Luo Yun smiled sincerely and waved to her.
She felt there was something else in that smile, but she couldn't understand it. She could only wave back and leave with Luan Yenan.
Over the next two days, led by Jiang Lingdan, they explored all the fun places in Jiangcheng.
The four parted ways the following evening.
Luan Yenan personally drove Zuo Baixuan towards the village.
Zuo Baixuan sat in the passenger seat, extremely nervous, though she had never been to this village before, she was also somewhat excited.
The car stopped in front of a self-built villa in the countryside before dark.
Luan Yenan turned to look at Zuo Baixuan and took her slightly cool hand: "Let's go, I've made contact, we'll stay here tonight."
