Chapter 37
For the next period of time, Luan Yenan became increasingly busy and was rarely seen.
Zuo Baixuan had no idea what she was busy with, because she had never told her. But she guessed it was probably related to the newly registered company.
Although Luan Yennan and Zuo Baixuan live under the same roof, there are often situations where Luan Yennan hasn't gotten up yet when Zuo Baixuan leaves early in the morning, or Luan Yennan even leaves earlier than Zuo Baixuan.
When Zuo Baixuan returned in the evening, Luan Yenan might not have come back yet, or he might be exercising at the gym and they didn't have much interaction.
Back in school, we only interacted when we had group meetings in Professor Chen's office, but we probably chatted more with other group members than with other group members.
Just like today, Zuo Baixuan kept watching Luan Yenan on the stage as he spoke eloquently, explaining his research direction and the characteristics of the computer virus to be used.
All the students listened attentively, and even Professor Chen and Chen Huanyu occasionally lowered their heads to take notes.
Luan Yenan's gaze swept over everyone, but did not land on Zuo Baixuan.
Zuo Baixuan frowned slightly, a strange sense of irritation rising in her heart.
What's wrong with this person?
They've even stopped looking at me so often lately, are they planning to end the cooperation agreement?
After the group meeting ended, Zuo Baixuan saw Luan Yenan pack a USB drive and a tablet into his bag and leave without looking back.
Seeing the couple like this, any normal person would suspect they had been arguing. But the other students watched silently, not daring to say a word.
Jiang Lingdan leaned closer to Zuo Baixuan and asked in a low voice, "Little Zuo, are you two having a fight? I haven't seen you two showing affection... or putting on an act for so long. You've been appearing together less often, and the forum's tone has shifted, with people starting to speculate that you're having relationship problems and getting a divorce. Luan Yenan has been surrounded by a lot of suitors lately, are you...?"
Zuo Baixuan felt a lump in her throat, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Seeing that Zuo Baixuan was not in high spirits and her expression was a bit strange, Jiang Lingdan felt even more puzzled and couldn't even continue speaking: "Little Zuo, what's wrong with you?"
Zuo Baixuan raised her hand to Jiang Lingdan and said, "Wait for me a moment, I'm feeling a little unwell, I need to go to the restroom first."
He walked through the corridor to the restroom at the end of the office building, washed his hands slowly, and then looked at himself in the mirror, where he could see a hint of fatigue.
She felt uncomfortable when Luan Yenan was too close, and now that Luan Yenan had moved away, she still felt uncomfortable.
In the past few days, while Luan Yennan was away and trying to calm her emotions, she had calmly and seriously considered the situation. She absolutely could not divorce Luan Yennan now, otherwise all her previous efforts would have been in vain.
But if Luan Yenan really found a new business partner and wanted a divorce, there was nothing she could do. Zuo Baixuan poked her forehead in exasperation.
Since marrying Luan Yenan, she has been able to catch her breath and earn a considerable amount of money through part-time jobs. She then tried to acquire the information she needed through various channels.
She didn't want to give up before she had achieved her goal.
In recent days, "blockchain" has started to attract more attention.
Anyone with a keen eye can easily find that the offline wallet carrier currently used by "blockchain" originated from Luan Yenan.
Meanwhile, Luo Yun's Luo Sheng International Circuit issued an announcement stating that "blockchain currency" can be used for exchange and consumption within the circuit.
A virtual currency whose value is yet to be studied has suddenly been transformed into a real value system. Considering the unknown cooperation that Luan Yenan and Luo Yun reached at the Luo Sheng International Circuit, one can imagine the hidden value behind it.
The founder of "blockchain" "Universe" is in a state of seclusion, and no trace of him can be found anywhere.
Luan Yenan became the only way.
Many people wanted to befriend Luan Yenan, and some even approached Zuo Baixuan, extending olive branches, but she rejected them all.
This is just the beginning of the matter, yet it has already attracted so much attention to Luan Yenan. In the future, Luan Yenan will become the focus of even more people.
Let's try a different approach.
If she can't find that person, she can have that person come to her.
There are already people interested in "blockchain" who want to get to know Luan Yenan through them. As Luan Yenan becomes more famous, that person will surely smell the potential profit and show up on their own.
Zuo Baixuan stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her innocent appearance was deceptively charming, making people think that she was just a young girl who wanted to escape her family of origin.
For the past few days, she had obediently followed Luan Yenan's instructions, wearing a butterfly hanging from her right ear. The butterfly appeared to be fluttering, but it was bound by a chain, somewhat similar to her own situation.
The frustration was overwhelming, but all I could do was sigh.
Zuo Baixuan splashed water on her face and only went out after she had sobered up.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw a khaki-clad figure standing there.
This is the color of Luan Yenan's trench coat today.
The light from behind shone on her, casting her shadow on Luan Yenan, which was imprinted squarely in her arms.
After a long time, Luan Yenan's gaze was fixed on him.
Zuo Baixuan's worries were completely swept away by this.
The crux of all the questions I've been pondering lies with Luan Yenan. Perhaps Luan Yenan is right; I should take the initiative to keep the power of choice in my own hands and avoid being so passive.
She looked up at Luan Yenan and immediately smiled.
Luan Yenan was somewhat surprised to see the broad smile on Zuo Baixuan's face. Especially since the smile was so deep, gradually revealing her dimples.
It was a genuine smile from the heart.
These past few days, Luan Yenan has indeed been intentionally avoiding Zuo Baixuan.
Firstly, she wanted to end Zuo Baixuan's awkwardness as soon as possible to avoid being exposed when she had to meet Luan Lizheng; secondly, she was indeed too busy.
The company was registered under only her and Zuo Baixuan's names, and she had to handle recruitment and patent applications herself.
I've barely finished these last two days of work; I just handed over the materials for my midday speech to the person in charge. Only then did I have time to come back and find Zuo Baixuan.
I thought I would need to have a serious talk with her before I could get any results, but I never expected that the little white flower would bloom on its own today.
"Look at your expression. It seems that after a few days, you're no longer embarrassed to see me?" Luan Yenan had thought before coming to see her that they shouldn't bring up the past when chatting, but now that he saw Zuo Baixuan, he changed his mind.
"Why would I feel awkward seeing my wife? It's because you've been deliberately avoiding me these past few days, that's why I'm more awkward, right? You have no idea what people on the forums are saying about us, some people are saying you're getting a divorce." Zuo Baixuan walked step by step toward Luan Yenan, her tone full of resentment, genuinely complaining about this matter.
Luan Yenan looked behind Zuo Baixuan with a puzzled expression.
I didn't see anyone.
The teachers in the office building usually either have classes or are in their own offices or laboratories.
The restrooms on this floor are almost exclusively used by Professor Chen and her project team.
There is no audience here.
Luan Yenan hadn't looked at Zuo Baixuan for a long time, and now she was standing in front of him with such an innocent and pure expression.
That is, there was no one around.
If anyone were around, Luan Yenan would want to ask, how could you resist seeing Xiaobaihua's expression?
However, it was precisely because there was no one around that Luan Yenan found it even more interesting.
Xiao Baihua's acting used to be all for others to see. When she was alone, she couldn't even muster the energy to practice. But now?
"Why isn't there any reaction? Do you really want a divorce?" Zuo Baixuan was already right in front of her. She raised her hand and pinned Luan Yenan against the wall.
Because he wasn't tall enough, he could only place his hands on Luan Yenan's waist.
Luan Yenan looked down at the hands, then at Zuo Baixuan. This time, he really couldn't figure out what the little white flower was thinking.
But this didn't stop Luan Yenan from responding; she raised her hand and brushed Zuo Baixuan's cheek.
Zuo Baixuan did not dodge.
Luan Yenan slowly slid his fingers down Zuo Baixuan's cheek, across her earlobe, pausing for a moment as the butterfly swayed, his movements casual and lazy.
Zuo Baixuan blinked lightly, not backing down, as if she was waiting for an answer.
Luan Yennan's fingers finally landed on Zuo Baixuan's chin and lifted it slightly upwards.
Zuo Baixuan did not resist. She raised her head with the gentle lift of the force, her eyes still questioning.
Luan Yenan's eyebrows twitched slightly, surprised.
"How could I possibly divorce you? We should be newlyweds, deeply in love, inseparable – that's how we should be."
Luan Yenan deliberately used exaggerated words.
Zuo Baixuan, without even blinking, retorted, "Yes, then why have you been avoiding me all this time? Treating me like a stranger, indifferent, and broken."
I don't know how I came up with these three random idioms.
Little White Flower is going to take the path of the villain accusing the victim first.
Luan Yenan couldn't hold back his breath, which he exhaled from his chest and then sucked back into a genuine laugh.
A slight amount of vodka leaked from the back of his neck due to the tremors, which made the previously tense glands feel much more comfortable.
During this period, she has started taking new medications and exercising as prescribed by her doctor, but the exercise and medication do not seem to be as effective as she had imagined.
It can be even more uncomfortable in situations where there are many Alphas and Omegas.
On the contrary, the little white flower in front of me, just standing there, can relieve the pressure from the glands.
Is this the effect of a 95% pheromone match? Why didn't the doctor recommend Zuo Baixuan as a medication in the first place?
Luan Yenan's laughter sprayed onto Zuo Baixuan's side bangs, messing up her hairstyle.
Zuo Baixuan didn't seem nervous at all; she even had the time to smooth her hair.
The slight tremor in his hand did not escape Luan Yenan's notice.
The cool autumn breeze made Luan Yenan's wispy hair flutter, slightly obscuring her dark eyes.
Zuo Baixuan shrank her neck in response to the cool breeze.
