Wen Qing pursed her lips, took a small step forward and took Wen Fenghua's hand, trying to get him to say something nice.
Wen Fenghua understood what her daughter meant.
He also sized up Luan Yenan.
It is indeed very different.
If you only compare her to her peers, you might not see anything particularly special about her. Even if she steals the show at Luo Yun's racetrack, that's ultimately a game for the rich.
But now, my demeanor when facing my elders is no longer convincing; I can't escape their notice.
hiss--
How could we have missed such a promising talent back then?
And he's a top-tier S-class Alpha.
Wen Fenghua thought about it more and more and realized that he had simply misjudged the situation back then, and he was determined to make up for it today.
He grinned and said, "Yes, Muyin, it's been a long time. We've both been so busy all these years. Luckily, the children have all grown up healthy, which has given us a chance to meet."
That's what I meant.
To Zuo Baixuan, it sounded terrible.
They're blatantly trying to snatch their daughter away; have they no shame?
Even if Luan Yenan hadn't reminded her, she, as his official wife, had to say something: "What a coincidence, Senior Wen. I thought we'd never have a chance to meet again, but I didn't expect to see each other again."
Wen Qing was reminded of what happened that day by Zuo Baixuan's words, and her face turned pale and then red. She looked at Luan Yenan, but Luan Yenan didn't look at her and was still secretly pushing the cake towards Zuo Baixuan.
Zuo Baixuan noticed Luan Yenan pushing the cake, rolled her eyes at him, and gestured for him to stop thinking about the cake while his grandfather was around. Only then did Luan Yenan give up.
You two are really something else!!
Wen Qing sat down, looked at the scene, and secretly clenched her hands under the table.
She let out a soft breath.
She remembered what her father had said to her.
[Luan Yenan was just angry about what happened back then; he lost face.]
You were her ideal man back then. As long as you apologize sincerely and express your desire to be with her, her anger will definitely subside.
[It's easy to divorce your wife now while Luan Yenan is still in debt; don't wait until she really builds a big company.]
After the Luo family officially joined, many investors in Beijing who were just dabbling in investment became very optimistic about Luan Yenan's project and started to get restless.
Yes, Luo Yun and her family have publicly announced their entry into the game.
They can use "blockchain" for transactions not only at the Russell International Circuit, but also in their own shops in shopping malls.
No one had figured out how to go head-to-head with the Luo family and get a share of the pie.
That's why they decided to start with the Luan family.
"Hmph!" Luan Lizheng uttered his first sound after entering the room.
He attracted everyone's attention as he sat upright in the center of the dining table. Only after the servants had set out his tea set and prepared eight exquisite Chinese pastries specially for the autumn tea did he feel at ease.
He nodded at Zuo Baixuan and asked, "Is this the wife you married?"
"Yes, isn't Grandpa handsome?" Luan Yenan seemed oblivious to the unfriendly tone in Luan Lizheng's voice, instead displaying a boastful expression.
These words almost choked Luan Lizheng.
There's no denying that this little Omega is beautiful.
"But is marriage something you can just do based on whether someone is pretty or not? What kind of decorum is it if there's no wedding ceremony?"
“Yes, I also feel that I owe Xuanxuan a lot. There was no wedding ceremony and no decent jewelry. But I think that since my marriage to her has nothing to do with family, I should earn our own happiness with my own hands. So I plan to use the money I earn to rightfully give her a super luxurious wedding.” Luan Yenan nodded.
What Luan Lizheng was saying was clearly that the marriage between the two should not be valid at all if it was not arranged by their parents or a matchmaker.
But I never expected that Luan Yennan would distort it like this.
Sure enough, Luan Lizheng's attention shifted from the wedding to his business venture: "You call all that messing around you lately a business venture? You're drowning in debt and you still have the nerve to talk about making money? You should learn from your brother! Do some proper work!"
Luan Yenan's cousin is named Luan Yecha.
When Luan Yenan first heard it, he imagined a badger hiding in a melon patch under the cool night sky.
It still makes me laugh when I think about it now.
After saying all that, Luan Lizheng saw that Luan Yenan still had a carefree smile on his face, and he felt unsatisfied, so he cursed again: "Your project will be reported sooner or later. It's just a money-making scam. Do you really think finance is something that young people like you who grew up with your elders' money can handle? Without real support, it will fail sooner or later!"
Luan Yenan didn't respond and let him talk.
Because no matter what Luan Lizheng says, no matter how harsh it is, it won't affect her.
Luan Yenan dislikes constraints, which may be related to her childhood experiences or it may be something she was born with.
The constraints imposed by Luan Lizheng only made her consider when to sideline this tyrannical feudal patriarch.
Seeing that Luan Yenan didn't speak but instead stared at Zuo Baixuan, as if he was bewitched by this little Omega, Luan Lizheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Look at the state you've become! It's fine if you mess around with your business, your family can support you and won't embarrass you. But what's the point of an Alpha who doesn't conquer an Omega? You used to be somewhat useful, but after getting married, you've become completely useless!"
Luan Yenan remained silent.
These words didn't hit the mark at all.
The words sounded like praise for her becoming a reliable Alpha.
Luan Lizheng became even angrier when he didn't get a response, and his pheromones involuntarily surged out from his shriveled glands.
Although his glands weren't as good as they used to be due to his age, he was still a top-tier S-rank. That's why Luan Yenan, who was also a rare-rank character back then, became his beloved pet. Even though he spoiled him, he still pampered him for several years. In the end, he only turned to his B-rank Alpha brother in anger when he heard that he couldn't be marked.
The appearance of pheromones resembling high-end cigars startled Wen Qing, who hid behind her father.
Luan Muyin immediately stepped in front of Luan Xing and advised her father, "Dad, there are guests here. It's impolite for you to release pheromones."
"Huh? Politeness? I'm furious right now! Who cares about politeness? Look at your precious daughter, she has no Alpha traits whatsoever. Even if she gets married, she won't be able to be marked. She's just a useless piece of trash."
Luan Li was fuming, his eyes bulging, and he even hurled insults at both of them at the same time.
"You're just as useless as me! What kind of Omegas did you marry? One can't be marked, the other can't have children, what kind of people are you?"
Luan Li stood up, wanting to release all the anger he had been holding in for years. He picked up the cane from the table and was about to hit Zuo Baixuan, who was standing nearby.
Everyone else was startled, never expecting that Luan Lizheng would actually do something so outrageous in front of everyone.
Although the law protects Omegas, and although the law prohibits domestic violence.
But if Luan Lizheng uses this cane, will anyone really sue him for it?
Zuo Baixuan could only swallow this bitter pill.
The moment the cane fell, Zuo Baixuan was so frightened that she only had time to duck her head.
Snap!
The mahogany cane struck heavily into Luan Yenan's hand.
Zuo Baixuan froze, staring intently at Luan Yenan's profile.
If she had to choose a time that makes her heart flutter, she would definitely choose now.
Luan Yenan held Zuo Baixuan in his arms and gripped his cane tightly, not giving Luan Lizheng another chance to attack.
Her face was dark and gloomy, and she stared at Luan Lizheng with a threatening look.
At the same time, pheromones abnormally emerged from the barrier stickers and filled the surrounding area.
This is instinct—the instinct to protect oneself as an Omega, the instinct to fight against Alphas invading one's territory.
A battle between two top-tier S-class Alphas.
The battle between cigars and vodka.
The results came quickly.
The young and strong vodka instantly flattened the cigar completely.
Even Luan Lizheng's expression changed. He hurriedly pulled back his cane and planted it on the ground. After a moment, he had the idea of backing down and sat back down in his chair with trembling legs.
He didn't dare look at Luan Yenan. He was afraid, afraid of the pheromone attack, and also afraid of her gaze.
Everyone was taken aback.
Vodka!
Vodka won.
But Luan Yenan's pheromones are actually vodka?!
Luan Muyin and Wen Fenghua, both Alphas, looked at the Omega beside them almost simultaneously.
Luan Xing smiled sheepishly, then remembered that he had forgotten to tell his wife about running into Luan Yenan when he went for a checkup that day.
Wen Qing, on the other hand, had absolutely no idea; she had never smelled Luan Ye Nan's pheromones before.
It used to taste spicy, I heard it was from chili peppers, but I couldn't stand the smell at all. How did it suddenly turn into vodka?
It smells so good.
She took a deep breath, her face flushed.
Wen Fenghua narrowed her eyes as she looked at her daughter's disappointing behavior.
It's not surprising that Zuo Baixuan was the only one present.
She felt only peace of mind when she was completely enveloped by the pheromones of vodka.
She was absolutely certain that Luan Yenan, who was taking medication to regulate his body, was releasing a large amount of pheromones from his glands in order to fight against Luan Lizheng, and even more so to protect her.
She stood up worriedly and checked Luan Yenan's palm: "Are you alright?"
Luan Yenan couldn't completely control his pheromones, but his expression softened as he smiled and patted Zuo Baixuan's head: "Remember I said I would protect you?"
Protect?
This time, Zuo Baixuan couldn't help but smile, her lips pursed.
She really does remember.
That was the day Zuo Baixuan took Luan Yenan to buy civilian clothes.
