Zuo Baixuan thought that after being seen several times, she would definitely not be swayed by such behavior again, but she did not expect that her first reaction was still to cover herself up.
But what's the point of covering yourself up?
Zuo Baixuan simply pressed herself against Luan Yenan's body, not letting her see for free, so that she wouldn't suffer any loss!
Luan Yenan was somewhat surprised by Zuo Baixuan's closeness, and a thought popped into his head, as he was wondering what else he could do.
But then she heard Zuo Baixuan nuzzle against her shoulder and say softly, "I'm so tired. I want to sleep a little longer. It doesn't matter what time it is. Let's skip work?"
She spoke in a coquettish voice, but it was intentional. She hadn't expected Luan Yenan to agree anyway.
Luan Yenan has been so busy lately that he's practically flying.
The person in charge who went on the business trip with her had already been complaining quietly in the group chat. Although the overtime pay and business trip expenses were both high, the high intensity of Luan Yenan's work was something that no normal person could withstand.
When Zuo Baixuan saw the daily schedule shared by that person on Jiang Lingdan's phone and confirmed that Luan Yenan had sent her photos, it was almost all of her rest time.
In the few days since I came back, I've been busy participating in the campus's top ten singers competition and spending time with myself, which has already taken up a lot of my time.
This person will probably choose to go to the company first, so that they can get some more sleep.
Although it's comfortable to hold this person, they make too many small movements. Can't we just hold them and take a nap?
Zuo Baixuan was half asleep when she suddenly opened her eyes. Half-asleep, she hugged the soft thing in front of her and began to doubt herself: "Aren't you going to work?"
“If the boss’s wife can skip work, why can’t the boss? Besides, it’s already nine o’clock. It’s too late to leave now. Sleep for another hour.” Luan Yennan pulled Zuo Baixuan into his arms and told her to sleep peacefully.
Zuo Baixuan pursed her lips.
What's going on with this person?
He seems like a workaholic, but in reality, he loves beauty more than power?
Just because a startup is abandoned, it's already facing so many crises, so much...
Zuo Baixuan's thoughts did not continue.
She didn't know why Luan Yenan told her to sleep for another hour, and she actually slept soundly for an hour.
When she woke up again, she met Luan Yenan's direct gaze once more.
Zuo Baixuan pursed her lips slightly: "Time to get up!"
"Get up, you get up first," Luan Yenan said with a smile.
After last night's events, she was too exhausted to make any further preparations, so all she had left were her nightgown lying in the water and pajamas that were also unwearable.
Zuo Baixuan gave a soft hum and rolled herself up tightly in the blanket.
Luan Yenan was somewhat surprised.
The air conditioner in the room was set to a temperature only slightly lower than body temperature, which was the most comfortable state to be half-covered or not covered by a blanket, so the blanket was just casually draped over my body.
With Zuo Baixuan pulling them like that, they had no time to react and were all swept away.
Zuo Baixuan's movements were also very graceful and natural, like a dancer putting on her beloved dance dress.
She got out of bed and spun around, so that Luan Yenan couldn't even grab the hem of the blanket before stepping onto the ground.
When she turned to look at Luan Yenan, she didn't forget to give him the same look and expression as Luan Yenan, retaliating by scanning him with her eyes.
Luan Yenan was well aware of Xiaobaihua's vengeful nature.
She lightly licked the corner of her lips; the spot where Zuo Baixuan had bitten her last night still tasted sweet and metallic.
But when she met Zuo Baixuan's gaze, she simply lay naturally on her side. She didn't feel ashamed at all; it wouldn't be bad if she could become bait and lure the little white rabbit that had just jumped away back.
It's just a pity that this time the little rabbit was more vigilant.
Zuo Baixuan looked at Luan Yenan's artwork, which resembled a work of art. She only regretted that she couldn't capture this step in the drawing.
But when her gaze passed through Luan Yenan's eyes, she realized that this person didn't mind being appreciated as a work of art at all.
Especially those intense gazes.
What does it feel like when a work of art wants to devour the viewer?
Zuo Baixuan awkwardly averted her gaze, lest she be bewitched by this cursed artwork and sacrifice herself.
Luan Yenan leaned against the bed and watched as Zuo Baixuan, her legs weak, limped away in a panic.
After Zuo Baixuan entered the bathroom, she heard the sound of the lock clicking shut. She smiled with satisfaction, sat up, and used her toes to lift her nightgown from the floor.
Last night, the vase tipped over, and all the water inside spilled out, soaking my pajamas.
Luan Yenan got up, picked up her nightgown and pajamas that she had thrown aside, and walked out the door with the overturned vase.
The door to the side bedroom wasn't closed last night; it was just ajar.
Luan Yenan stretched out his foot, hooked it against the doorframe, and walked out.
...
When Zuo Baixuan finished tidying herself up and came out of the bathroom, the erotic scene was gone, and all the messy traces left from last night had been cleaned up.
The only problem was that the blanket had been ostentatiously replaced with a Dalmatian-themed one, which left her both amused and exasperated.
When it comes to vengefulness, who can rival Luan Yenan?
Luan Yenan must have left not long ago, as clear footprints extended outwards from the remaining water stains on the ground.
Zuo Baixuan could even imagine Luan Yenan walking out of the room barefoot, following her unique gait.
Zuo Baixuan followed the footprints and walked out, trying to understand Luan Yenan's feelings.
He must be feeling smug.
As I stepped outside, I saw the vase on the dining table in the living room, the one I had placed by my bedside yesterday, with the water changed.
Honeysuckle has been given a new lease on life.
Zuo Baixuan turned her head to look at the master bedroom.
The master bedroom door was open, but no one was in sight; only the faint sound of water could be heard.
...
Luan Yenan changed into casual clothes similar to yesterday, draped his coat over his arm, and thought of a ruby accessory to match his mood before going out.
A delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Luan Yenan placed his coat on the back of the chair and went into the kitchen.
Then, Zuo Baixuan paused in stirring the soup.
Luan Yenan leaned over and, following her hand movements, stirred the soup for two more weeks before lifting her hand up, carrying a spoonful of soup.
She glanced at Zuo Baixuan: "Let me try it."
"Hmm." Zuo Baixuan didn't chase her away, but simply held up the spoon and gently blew on it for her a couple of times.
The hot air was blown away before being delivered to Luan Yenan's mouth.
With a smile on his lips, Luan Yenan completely swallowed the rice cake soup.
Whether it's today's brunch or the sweet, loving relationship between the two, it's all so wonderful that no one has the heart to spoil it.
No matter what happened yesterday, what was said last night, or what was to be done today, no one said a word before leaving the house.
It wasn't until after breakfast and lunch, after clearing away the dishes, and before heading out, that I felt completely at ease.
Luan Yenan placed his hand on the heavy doorknob.
Just before their brief and ideal dreamlike relationship was about to collide with reality, Luan Yenan got down to business: "By the way, I need to prepare for the fall recruitment these next few days."
"Hmm." Zuo Baixuan knew that Luan Yenan attached great importance to the autumn recruitment.
This presents a great opportunity to recruit a large number of outstanding employees from various universities, which is crucial for companies that urgently need a large influx of fresh talent.
I'm likely to get busier.
But then Luan Yenan said, "Why don't you help me?"
The elevator doors opened.
Zuo Baixuan saw her own bewildered expression reflected in the elevator's mirror.
"Isn't something this important outside my job scope?"
"Do you feel you have too much work and are too tired?" Luan Yennan didn't look at her.
Zuo Baixuan, however, stared at Luan Yenan.
At this moment, Luan Yenan was no longer the restrained madness of last night, nor the gentle ease of this morning. He was simply carrying the aura of someone at work, seriously discussing this matter with her.
"It's not that I'm tired, it's just that I feel it's a bit inappropriate. I'm involved in too many things now, even the fall recruitment... and you often go on business trips, aren't you afraid that I'll sideline you?" Zuo Baixuan adopted a relaxed attitude and probed Luan Yenan.
Luan Yenan asked calmly, "How much time do you need to sideline me?"
He observed Zuo Baixuan through the reflection.
The elevator's reflective surface wasn't a perfect mirror, so Zuo Baixuan's image inside was somewhat distorted.
Luan Yenan didn't like it, so he turned his head to look.
I want to see what Zuo Baixuan is really like.
This wasn't the first time they'd brought it up.
Luan Yenan always approached the challenge with anticipation; this crazy woman always looked forward to it. That was for the best; if she succeeded, she wouldn't get angry or embarrassed.
Zuo Baixuan thought about it seriously: "How about I try to finish it within a year?"
Luan Yenan took a step closer to Zuo Baixuan, his voice carrying a sense of pressure and mockery: "If it's a year, I'll have everything planned out. By then, the company will be firmly in my hands. Don't even think about trying to sideline me. Even if a larger, more powerful company comes to acquire me, they won't be able to take away my control. I'll only give you six months, how about that?"
Zuo Baixuan felt that this woman was going crazy again.
However, the six-month timeframe is indeed very tempting.
Making him pay the price before his mother's death anniversary next year, six months is indeed a good option.
Zuo Baixuan also wavered countless times about whether she should tell Luan Yenan about this, because perhaps Luan Yenan could help her.
However, considering that her plan might ruin Luan Yenan's hard work, Luan Yenan might not agree.
And more importantly, it's her own inner demons.
She has her own obsession; she wants to do things herself to feel satisfied.
