This is such a sweet display of affection!
The small group of people all covered their mouths, afraid that their screams would disturb the two people in the elevator.
Zuo Baixuan caught this scene out of the corner of her eye. After a moment of surprise, she tried to push Luan Yenan away, but was held tightly in his arms.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close automatically, Luan Yenan freed one hand to press the open button before releasing the pressure.
Her expression returned to its calm one from when she arrived, and she turned to look at the employees outside the elevator: "You've worked hard."
A small group of people glanced at Luan Yenan, who remained unfazed, then at Zuo Baixuan, whose face was flushed red. They excitedly gripped their pants and shouted in a loud voice, "It's not hard work at all!!!"
A note from the author:
Employee: If I see this, who would want to take a day off? Wouldn't everyone be thinking about working overtime every day?
Zuo Baixuan: Is this what capitalists are like?
Luan Yenan: (Hooks his chin) This is an adult.

Chapter 52
Luan Yenan led Zuo Baixuan toward the office amidst the attention of everyone.
Many employees looked excited.
"The boss and his wife are a perfect match."
"Is the boss's wife coming to work at the company? I can't wait!"
"But the boss seems so assertive today, unlike last time when he didn't look so happy. What's going on? Could it be...?"
"Don't make wild guesses. Everyone who went to the factory for their shift just now said they saw the boss and his wife kissing in the elevator!"
"They must have been besieged by the media just yesterday, and they even said they wanted to start so many new industries. They must have a lot of headaches and be very tired."
The employees were whispering very quietly, but you could tell what they were talking about.
Luan Yenan's expression remained unchanged; he just wanted to see how Zuo Baixuan would react.
Surprisingly, Zuo Baixuan was quite composed.
She greeted the employees as she stepped out of the elevator, and nodded to them as she entered the company, as if nothing had happened.
It's as if nothing happened last night.
Tsk.
A sense of irritation rose in Luan Yenan's heart.
I've never felt this frustrated, not even when things aren't going well at work.
Once she puts on a stern face, no one dares to approach her.
The two entered the office without any hindrance.
Luan Yenan walked straight to his desk, thinking that he might need to read some documents to relieve his frustration.
Zuo Baixuan let go of Luan Yenan's hand, fell behind, and quickly closed the door, even locking it from the inside.
Luan Yenan looked up, and their eyes met.
This made Zuo Baixuan take a deep breath.
To be honest, everyone said that Luan Yenan looked unapproachable, never smiled, was fierce, strict, and had a cold personality, but Zuo Baixuan never felt anything for him.
Because every time I saw Luan Yenan, she was either seriously doing her own thing, and she did have an icy aura, but it was just serious, not fierce.
Or, most of the time when she met his gaze, her eyes held a smile, whether gentle or playful, which at most made Zuo Baixuan feel at a loss. It had nothing to do with her being unapproachable; she was afraid, but her fear was different from others.
But today is a little different.
Luan Yenan's gaze was no longer fixed on him; it was indeed somewhat cold, like a cold current blowing across the peak of an iceberg, chilling to the extreme.
Zuo Baixuan suppressed the dryness in her throat, pursed her lips, and sat down on the sofa.
Luan Yenan picked up the remote control and turned the dark side of the office glass into a transparent one.
The office staff almost instinctively peeked over at the same time, then quickly looked away.
I don't understand what's going on this time.
Zuo Baixuan didn't expect this either.
The sofa was right in the line of sight of the transparent glass, and she didn't like the feeling of being completely exposed to everyone's gaze, so she subconsciously got up and moved to a blind spot.
Because Luan Yenan's studio doesn't like being interrupted, she usually mixes her own drinks, and there's a small bar in the office.
Zuo Baixuan happened to walk over, chose to moisten her throat with mineral water, and then asked, "So the persona you want to maintain is the persona of kissing anytime, anywhere?"
"What we want to maintain is the image of a loving couple, and kissing anytime, anywhere is just one part of that."
Luan Yenan's voice suddenly came very close.
Hearing Luan Yenan's voice coming from behind her, Zuo Baixuan didn't dare to turn around.
The bar was only five steps away from Luan Yenan's desk, so Luan Yenan must already be standing behind him.
Moreover, the way Luan Yenan said it...
"Shameless." Zuo Baixuan readily gave her assessment.
"Where is the shamelessness? Is there anything wrong with what I said? Our affection has become a topic of public attention. As long as it can be maintained, it will save me a lot of trouble and also improve the company's efficiency. It's a win-win situation. Doesn't it fit your idea of mutual benefit?" Luan Yenan said, leaning on Zuo Baixuan's shoulder.
Zuo Baixuan felt a tickle as Luan Yenan's hair brushed against her shoulder, and then her voice fell beside her ear, causing another tickle.
She couldn't help but move to the side.
I stopped at a point where, if I took just one more step, I would be able to see the view outside the window.
Luan Yenan moved closer to Zuo Baixuan: "Do you think there's anything wrong with what I said? Or do you have any objection to this kind of 'mutual benefit'?"
What do you mean by "mutual benefit"? This crazy woman is just taking the opportunity to retaliate!
"This is not good for me at all, is it?" Zuo Baixuan turned to face Luan Yenan and stepped back, standing next to the desk.
He stepped directly into everyone's sight and warned Luan Yenan to stop taking any further action.
However, Luan Yenan still followed: "How can there be no benefits? Didn't you say last night that you wanted to use me? Whether you want money, power, stocks, or even to sideline me, you first need to have a say in the company, right? Before you set up a working group, wouldn't it be more convenient to act as 'Boss Luan's most beloved wife'?"
"What kind of nonsense is this!" Zuo Baixuan was so confused by Luan Yenan's rambling that she didn't know how to continue the conversation and was forced to retreat to the desk.
“This isn’t even the worst of it.” The burning intensity he’d seen at home that morning rekindled in Luan Yenan’s eyes.
It didn't extinguish easily.
This person is just very good at controlling their emotions.
It's a bomb whose detonation is remotely controlled. It could explode at any time, or even result in mutual destruction.
Zuo Baixuan stared at Luan Yenan with difficulty.
Luan Yenan's face drew closer and closer, until it was pressed against hers.
Zuo Baixuan didn't know why she didn't dodge.
Even though the movement was very slow, there was no time to dodge.
She couldn't push Luan Yenan away either.
With both hands braced against the desk, I could only haphazardly find the remote control to block out the wide-eyed stares from outside the window.
"hiss--"
Distracted from closing the window, Zuo Baixuan felt a sharp pain.
Luan Yenan bit her lip and then gently licked it, punishing Zuo Baixuan for her inattentiveness.
Zuo Baixuan's hands were powerless, and her lower back was suddenly grabbed and lifted onto the desk, where she was pulled into someone's arms.
Even though there were no spectators left, Luan Yenan's kisses didn't stop at all. He even pinched Zuo Baixuan's earlobe with one hand and gently stroked her back with the other.
This is hardly an act for show!
Zuo Baixuan gripped Luan Yenan's shoulders with both hands, but couldn't muster the strength to resist.
Luan Yenan is still testing the waters.
It wasn't until Zuo Baixuan woke up comfortably and noticed the strange sensation coming from inside her clothes that she hurriedly clamped her legs tightly around Luan Yenan's waist and bit him in a haphazard manner.
Luan Yenan only released his mouth and withdrew his mischievous hands after feeling pain on both sides at the same time.
Taking a half step back, I saw that Zuo Baixuan's lipstick was all smudged, and I knew I was probably in no better shape.
Zuo Baixuan's meticulous clothes were now disheveled, and her peach blossom eyes were flushed with a pinkish hue, with a thin mist rising in them.
This time it's definitely my own masterpiece.
Luan Yenan even indulged his wicked sense of humor and whispered, "The way your eyes are filled with tears makes you look especially easy to bully."
The low, husky tone sounded familiar to Zuo Baixuan, but she quickly dismissed the extraneous memories and blinked away the mist in her eyes.
She is good at using tears to disguise herself, but these past few times she has been unable to control her tear ducts.
"Crazy woman! If you keep this up, I'm not working with you anymore! The windows are all closed, why are you still acting?" Zuo Baixuan was somewhat embarrassed and angry, but she still managed to keep her voice down with reason, leaving only the most basic duties.
Luan Yenan watched as the blush spread from the corners of Zuo Baixuan's eyes and earlobes to her entire face, and then looked away with satisfaction.
"Hmm? So you closed the window. Well then, consider that part as practice, we'll have to do it again." Luan Yennan said, turning to leave.
Zuo Baixuan was startled by Luan Yenan's words.
Reason told her that even if Luan Yenan were insane, he wouldn't do such a thing.
