Zuo Baixuan stood beside Luan Yenan and whispered, "You two have gotten along quite well lately."
Luan Yenan looked at Zuo Baixuan.
These words were like cutting a hole in the black cloth covering Luan Ye Nan Meng's heart, allowing her to see a glimmer of light.
If Zuo Baixuan truly develops feelings for him that transcend shackles and break the plan.
She would be willing to take any risk for it.
Isn't it just pheromone immune deficiency?
She could take medication for the rest of her life, suffering from tingling pain in the back of her neck.
She's a madwoman, ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to herself. But she needs a definite answer.
"So, are you really jealous?" Luan Yenan asked.
Zuo Baixuan looked at Luan Yenan, and the fire in her eyes reignited.
This person...
Zuo Baixuan caught Luan Yenan's thoughts in that gaze, but still subconsciously retorted: "I'm just judging whether you and Miss Si will develop a marriage relationship in the future, and I also need to consider how to treat her."
Seeing Zuo Baixuan's evasive gaze.
Luan Yenan remained silent for a moment.
Without much hesitation, she withdrew her gaze, her tone still carrying the same emotion as before, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Well, you really need to adjust your attitude towards her."
Luan Yenan's choice of words was clearly intentional.
He didn't tell a single lie, but not a single word of his was a complete truth.
Since Si Ruxin is now prepared to cooperate with her, they are no longer adversaries, and her attitude naturally needs to change. However, this relationship has nothing to do with a marriage alliance. It's just that this statement might lead Zuo Baixuan to misunderstand in that direction.
Luan Yenan wanted to give Zuo Baixuan a chance, and also give himself a chance.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Baixuan's face was filled with disbelief. She hadn't expected to receive such an answer, and she tightened her grip on Luan Yenan's hand.
is that so?
Zuo Baixuan felt short of breath in her chest, as if a piece of her chest had been hollowed out.
She admitted that she was filled with selfishness at that moment. She wanted to maintain a distant relationship with Luan Yennan to protect herself, within which she could enjoy the sense of security she had built up.
However, the safe haven they built themselves was entirely obtained by seizing Luan Yenan's territory.
Whether it's his own plan or something completely unrelated to the plan, or just indulging in uncontrollable and chaotic emotions, it's all unfair to Luan Yenan.
Luan Yenan secretly glanced at Zuo Baixuan out of the corner of his eye. Zuo Baixuan's inner struggle was imperceptible on her face; she was adept at concealing her true emotions. Only the strength in her hands betrayed her.
But Luan Yenan could not accept this wavering suggestion so easily.
Because she wasn't sure if Zuo Baixuan's current wavering and ambiguous feelings stemmed from pheromone stimulation; if so, then such emotional feedback was unreliable.
The obstacle between them now is not just their pheromone immune deficiency, but also the unknown forces of this world.
The road ahead will be difficult. If there isn't a definite answer, and even if only one of them wavers, there will be serious problems.
This is not safe for either her or Zuo Baixuan.
They are not even responsible for Luan Muyin and Luan Xing's future lives.
Luan Yenan rationally controlled herself, the fire in her eyes extinguished, replaced by a calm as still water. She didn't move, but simply waited quietly.
After meeting everyone, Zuo Baixuan shook herself and accepted a glass of wine from a waiter.
Luan Yenan frowned and grabbed her hand: "With your alcohol tolerance, are you sure you still want to drink?"
"It's a banquet after all, don't spoil the fun. Miss Zuo wants to drink, but Mr. Luan won't let her. Aren't you being too nosy?" Si Ruxin even egged them on, as she preferred to see Zuo Baixuan after drinking.
Because when Zuo Baixuan isn't drinking, she's too shrewd.
Si Ruxin is also a shrewd person. She can tell at a glance that although the two of them are still very sweet on the surface, they are completely different from their previous state of constantly showing affection.
Even so, Zuo Baixuan remained completely at ease when facing a group of family spokespeople.
Luan Yennan didn't say anything along the way; Zuo Baixuan handled everything.
As expected, neither of them is easy to deal with!
Soon they would be meeting Si's father, and Si Ruxin tried to use alcohol to reduce Zuo Baixuan's aggressiveness. This would also help her secret, additional cooperative relationship with Luan Yennan.
Luan Yenan didn't care what Si Ruxin was thinking and frowned.
That look sent chills down Si Ruxin's spine. It wasn't a real threat in the car, but the feeling of being stared at by a venomous snake made her extremely uncomfortable.
Not to mention that once the aura is activated, even the pheromones are brought up.
The colorless and odorless pheromone pressure caused Zuo Baixuan, who was standing next to her, to show a puzzled expression and subconsciously press the back of her neck.
Luan Yenan quickly suppressed his anger upon smelling the vanilla scent.
Luan Yenan can now control the release and release of pheromones at will, but the pheromones are too affected by emotional fluctuations. She closed her eyes and it took her a while to calm down.
But the brief pressure was enough to shut Si Ruxin up.
Only Zuo Baixuan remained, holding the wine glass in her hand.
Zuo Baixuan swirled the wine glass in her hand, not daring to look at Luan Yenan.
She was worried that if Luan Yenan looked at her even once, he would see right through her, so she was only outwardly strong.
Zuo Baixuan also wants to change.
I want to learn from Luan Yenan, to be strong enough to control myself, to be unrestrained, and to follow my own plans every step of the way without caring about the impact of anyone else.
However, she doesn't have that kind of ability yet.
Moreover, her sensitive and fragile nature, and her reluctance to let anyone get close, are traits that she has accumulated little by little through countless experiences since childhood.
The thorns on her body are a defense mechanism to protect herself, but also the result of the pain caused by the experiences of being embedded in her flesh and blood and becoming one with her since childhood.
She carved out a safe space between herself and Luan Yennan, a space devoid of thorns. But the thorns hadn't disappeared; they had simply shifted direction.
With Luan Yenan's intelligence, he will surely be able to see through those hidden assassins.
If you want to truly change things, you need to prick these thorns one by one, or open your heart.
She might not be able to do it when she's sober, but if she's drunk, could she?
Zuo Baixuan held the wine glass, suddenly tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
In Luan Yenan's eyes, this behavior was more like escapism, escaping with alcohol, escaping with a "drunken personality" that doesn't exist after drinking.
Luan Yenan was disappointed, but understanding.
From the very beginning, in this world, according to the outline's setting, the encounter between the original owner's identity and the female lead's identity was destined to have a bad ending. Even if she took over and changed the timeline, she couldn't change the inherent contradictions within the characters' core personalities.
Luan Yenan's emotions were complex, but in the end they turned into a brief calm and an irreversible helplessness. She reached out and patted Zuo Baixuan's head, not wanting to make things too difficult for her.
"Alright, drink if you want, but don't lose your composure in front of others. If you want to drink more, wait until I take you back to the hotel. I'll drink with you," Luan Yenan said.
These words were spoken gently, and her eyes were filled with deep affection.
However, Zuo Baixuan's eyes were misty from the alcohol, making it difficult for her to see Luan Yenan's face clearly, but she nodded: "Okay, let's go back to the hotel, you'll drink with me."
At this moment, Si Ruxin came over with two middle-aged people.
One was Mr. Si, whom I had seen as soon as I entered the banquet hall. The other was an unfamiliar face, a middle-aged female Alpha, dressed in a black dress. She had the composure that someone her age should have, but her face had a sickly pallor, making her look unhealthy.
Her eyes gleamed with shrewdness as she looked at Luan Yennan and Zuo Baixuan with a smile: "The two of you have such a good relationship. My Gu Qiu was actually afraid that this banquet was a deliberate attempt to lure her to a blind date, and that she was using her busy work as an excuse not to come."
"Mr. Yu, you're being too harsh. Your Gu Qiu is clearly worried about your health and is working overtime to develop new drugs, isn't she?" Mr. Si said with a smile, his words carrying a hint of flattery.
Upon hearing the title "President Yu" again, Luan Yenan frowned slightly. This was probably the Yu family that Qin Yuancheng had mentioned before.
But this Mr. Yu is not unpleasant.
President Yu said with a smile, "I know my own body well. I've had this ailment for many years. If she hadn't upset me, I could have lived a few more years. But I'm getting off topic. Let's get to know the younger generation first."
Luan Yenan shook hands with President Yu.
The meeting went quite well for the group.
In terms of national logistics, apart from state-owned logistics companies controlled by the government, Sijia, a rising star, is the strongest.
Luan Yenan wanted to apply IoT technology to logistics, and the best partner was Sijia. This single meeting laid the foundation for their collaboration.
President Yu also decided to join this intelligent system.
"Healthcare can also be included in the Internet of Things (IoT) initiative, right? 'Things' can include not only machines, but also patients and doctors, enabling more efficient 'connection' and forming new 'network' relationships in the workflow. Am I right?"
Isn't this the same idea of "Internet + healthcare" proposed during the "Internet +" era?
Luan Yenan was pleasantly surprised.
“Of course, everything can be made more efficient through the internet. We are not trying to abandon traditional methods, but rather to improve the quality and standard of human life through technological innovation,” Luan Yennan said.
President Yu was quite pleased and agreed with Luan Yenan's statement.
Luan Yenan thought to himself that President Yu's style was really not related to the kind of people Qin Yuancheng mentioned who used Omega as medical resources.
But she didn't mention it, and the conversation ended amicably.
The banquet ended late at night.
As the main character, Luan Yenan didn't stand on ceremony and was the first to leave, announcing the end of the banquet.
Some busybodies leaked photos of the banquet early on.
Luan Yenan didn't care.
Before leaving, she called Si Ruxin out as well, and they walked to one side of the venue to try to find out the specific situation of the Yu family.
Zuo Baixuan leaned quietly against the door, looking sideways at the two people chatting and laughing from her perspective.
Holding her breath, she slowly squatted down against the wall, hugging her knees, not wanting to get any closer, not wanting to know what the two people were talking about, and not wanting to see their expressions.
She felt like an ostrich, helpless and unable to do anything.
But it was also his own fault, because he couldn't bring himself to say anything. But what if he could have told everyone everything?
Sizzle—
My phone vibrated.
Zuo Baixuan sighed and took out her phone, guessing that Jiang Lingdan probably wanted to ask about their situation.
