Qin Yuancheng suppressed his emotions and could only pretend not to understand the meaning behind the couple's words.
"That's true. Ever since my sister, Ye Nan's biological Omega mother, passed away, I've been emotionally unstable. I've finally recovered, but I missed out on Ye Nan's growth, and I feel really sorry for my sister."
This person practically wears their hypocrisy on their sleeve.
Zuo Baixuan made up her mind, her eyes turned cold, and she looked at Luan Yenan, taking her hand in hers.
Luan Yenan smiled at Zuo Baixuan, quietly watching Qin Yuancheng's performance, deeply feeling the tragedy of the original owner's life.
From the original owner's perspective, even if she was a top-tier Alpha, she would still be disliked after being spoiled.
Qin Yuancheng didn't care that he didn't receive a response from Luan Yenan. He naturally assumed that it stemmed from Luan Yenan's long-standing resentment.
He continued, "What I want to apologize to Bai Xuan about is what I told Ye Nan on the phone before, about finding an S-class Omega to treat her, since Ye Nan used to have a severe pheromone immune deficiency."
"But after talking to Muyin, I realized how wrong I was. Bai Xuan is also an S-class Omega, and the compatibility is as high as 95%. After you got married, Ye Nan's symptoms did not reappear. You even marked each other. I am so happy for you."
Qin Yuancheng felt that he had shown all the friendliness that an elder should have.
What Luan Yenan saw was just another feudal patriarchal figure, much like Luan Lizheng.
He added a self-righteous, understanding buff to his feudal patriarchal system.
Many people, because of the unhappiness of their original family, think that they must break away and never become like their parents. However, some of them still become like their parents. Qin Yuancheng is one of them.
Luan Yenan understood this feeling very well, because she had a thorn in her heart.
In her previous life, she felt that her occasional outbursts of madness stemmed from her childhood experiences, a reflection of that disgusting man. Therefore, in her previous life, she didn't want to develop any emotional relationships with anyone that went beyond the scope of their work.
In this life, she restrained herself, not wanting to become like that disgusting man who arbitrarily treated his wife as a possession and manipulated her at will.
Similarly, she also hated all feudal patriarchs, whether it was Luan Lizheng or the hypocritical Qin Yuancheng in front of her.
Luan Yenan looked at Zuo Baixuan.
Zuo Baixuan was initially shocked by what Qin Yuancheng said.
Pheromones immunodeficiency disorder sounds like "autoimmune encephalitis," which makes you roughly know what kind of problem it is, but you never hear of anyone suffering from it in daily life. It is a rare disease.
Zuo Baixuan's mind was in a bit of a mess.
Thinking of Luan Yenan's fainting spell.
If Luan Yenan really does have this rare disease, Qin Yuancheng's suggestion is not without merit.
Seeing the change in Zuo Baixuan's expression, Luan Yenan smiled helplessly.
Then she looked at Qin Yuancheng: "Uncle, of course I can't refuse to treat your illness. But there's something I hope you'll listen to. Even if Xiaoxuan and I divorce one day, I will never marry someone else."
"..." Zuo Baixuan's breath hitched the moment she heard the word "divorce".
It's as if the day of the divorce is right in front of me.
These were clearly her own demands in the contract and goals written in the plan, but when Luan Yenan said them, she felt a tightness in her chest and her whole body became uncomfortable.
Why is this happening?
It seems she no longer wants a divorce.
But if I bring this plan to its end, is it really possible to avoid getting a divorce?
Zuo Baixuan looked at Luan Yenan's profile.
They all harbored secrets they hadn't revealed.
They were holding hands, yet the distance between them grew once again.
"It's about time, honey. Let me take you to the airport. I'll need your help with things at the company when we get back." Luan Yenan glanced at his watch.
Qin Yuancheng put down his coffee cup, frowned, and after two seconds composed himself: "So eager? You haven't even ordered coffee yet."
“Uncle, we’ve heard your apology, haven’t we?” Luan Yennan pulled Zuo Baixuan to her feet.
Qin Yuancheng also stood up, unable to contain his dissatisfaction, and asked, "Then what is your attitude?"
"Uncle, I just have one question. Did you invite Si Ruxin here?" Luan Yenan asked with a smile.
Qin Yuancheng felt a chill run down his spine because of that smile.
Luan Yenan smiled and said, "I will visit Jiangcheng when I return to China. The bidding will be held during the winter break. Once the time is confirmed, I will have someone notify all the companies. You can rest assured, Uncle."
"..." Qin Yuancheng was speechless, completely shut down by Luan Yenan within the scope of cooperation without any mercy.
Luan Yenan took Zuo Baixuan's hand and walked outside.
Qin Yuancheng squinted at the departing figures of the two, took out his phone and dialed a number: "Quan, you're right, we should use some extreme measures."
...
Luan Yenan helped Zuo Baixuan carry the backpack she had left at the front desk, as well as the clothes she had worn in the past few days. These were also packed into a suitcase for Zuo Baixuan to take with her. Luan Yenan packed these while Zuo Baixuan was still sleeping.
Zuo Baixuan opened the box and looked inside. Apart from the nightgown she had worn the past two days, everything else was neatly packed.
As for nightgowns?
Luan Yenan said matter-of-factly, "You don't like wearing nightgowns anyway, so I can keep them as a keepsake."
Zuo Baixuan could almost picture Luan Yenan sleeping in his nightgown, smelling her scent.
Aaaaaah! Crazy woman!
When Zuo Baixuan picked up her suitcase, her expression still carried a hint of resentment.
Luan Yenan stared intently at Zuo Baixuan's face, trying to imprint it in his mind.
"Okay, even though we'll be apart for a while, don't miss me."
"It's okay, you left a lot of clothes at home." Zuo Baixuan seemed to be retaliating, but she sounded guilty, and it all sounded strange.
Luan Yenan looked at Zuo Baixuan, his eyes flashing with a hint of longing. He wished he could keep her by his side forever.
But in the end, he sighed softly and hugged Zuo Baixuan tightly, reluctant to part.
Like most couples in this airport, they didn't attract any attention no matter how clingy they were.
Luan Yenan gave Zuo Baixuan a light kiss on the head: "I've also arranged a car to pick you up from there. I've already sent the phone number to your phone. Remember to contact the driver when you arrive."
Zuo Baixuan leaned against Luan Yenan and nodded: "I'm not a child, do I need you to arrange this?"
Luan Yenan gently stroked Zuo Baixuan's head for a while before letting go.
"Alright, goodbye for now, see you back home." Luan Yenan waved with a smile.
Zuo Baixuan also gave Luan Yenan a deep look before turning and leaving.
She thought she wouldn't be reluctant to leave, but before going through the VIP fast track for security, she turned back three times to see Luan Yenan wearing a coat, his long, wavy hair swaying with the air currents of the surrounding crowd.
Luan Yenan watched Zuo Baixuan disappear from sight before touching the back of his neck.
The stinging sensation had already started when we left the coffee shop, and now it was amplified.
Luan Yenan turned around and quickly left the airport.
Sitting in the car, she pondered that Qin Yuancheng's mention of "pheromone immune deficiency" today meant that it was not just a secret within the Luan family.
In the near future, many people will probably know this.
Moreover, the course of the illness is uncertain, and it could flare up at any time.
The follow-up work needs to be accelerated.
To expedite the IPO, we need to urge our partners to help, as well as get technical support from Chen Huanyu's side.
Looking out the window at the moonlight obscured by dark clouds, Luan Yenan said to the driver, "Back in China, could you please arrange bodyguards to protect my wife as well?"
"It's all been arranged. We knew about your wife's trip to New York, but we're bodyguards, not surveillance equipment, so we didn't disclose it to protect her privacy."
"Thank you." Luan Yenan breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his temples. Now he didn't have to worry about any extreme behavior.
...
Time flies.
After returning to China, Zuo Baixuan quickly threw herself into her final exams.
Having earned all her credits in previous years, this was her last exam during her time at the university.
After finishing her exams, she resubmitted her revised graduation thesis. Now, sitting in her dorm room, all she has to deal with is work.
"Little Zuo, you're really too diligent. It would be a shame if Boss Luan didn't give you a raise when he gets back."
Even after being back for so long, Jiang Lingdan still deliberately mentions Luan Yenan every day.
Zuo Baixuan was also quite weak-willed; she still felt a tremor in her heart when she heard this title.
While she was busy with domestic affairs, news about Luan Yenan kept coming in from abroad.
For example, they may have signed long-term cloud computing power lease contracts directly with foreign companies; or they may have purchased an entire park abroad to establish a cloud computing center.
The debate surrounding "cloud computing" has reached its peak.
There are also many forums for computer and coding enthusiasts that are constantly discussing this matter.
It's somewhat like praising someone to death.
But the praise was obvious to everyone, while the killing never came.
Since Zuo Baixuan returned to China, Luan Yenan has continued to send her landscape photos, but the frequency has been decreasing recently.
Perhaps I'm busy, or perhaps I'm gradually losing interest because I don't get many replies.
Zuo Baixuan thought for a moment and sent a message to Luan Yenan in the chat box: "My final exams are over."
"Final exams are over. Do you want to come to Jiangcheng with me for a few days? I've been inviting you since the first year, but you've always refused. Now that we're about to graduate, you should come visit, right? Even though we'll still be working at the same company, it won't feel the same. What do you think?" Jiang Lingdan said with a touch of sadness, creating an atmosphere of impending graduation.
Zuo Baixuan hesitated.
Jiang Lingdan added, "Anyway, the company has finished its busy period, so you can keep up with everything else online. Besides, it's confirmed that Boss Luan will be going to Jiangcheng on a business trip after returning to China, so you can come back with her then."
What about your job?
“Our department has been so relaxed lately. Ever since your photos with the boss at the international summit went viral, the public opinion has been incredibly positive. The government has even promoted it to showcase entrepreneurial role models. I could practically be unemployed; taking a few days off is no big deal.”
Zuo Baixuan stared at Jiang Lingdan.
Jiang Lingdan couldn't stand being stared at any longer and finally confessed: "It's Senior Chen. She said she wanted to visit my house, and I couldn't resist agreeing. Now I really regret it, but Senior Chen is like a piece of code running in a forward direction. If I suddenly change my mind, she'll definitely cause a bug. I don't dare to do that, so I wanted to ask you to come along."
"What happened between the two of you without my knowledge? You didn't even tell me." Zuo Baixuan was somewhat surprised.
