Si Ruxin intertwined her fingers and wiggled them a few times, feeling Zuo Baixuan's charm during their simple chat.
Or rather, she even saw a shadow of Luan Yenan in Zuo Baixuan.
They are two completely different people in appearance and personality, yet they have inexplicable similarities.
Si Ruxin took a sip of wine with a calm expression.
Looking at Luan Yenan again, she was actually yawning.
"Haven't you had enough sleep after sleeping for so long?" Si Ruxin asked.
“Sitting is a bit boring, let’s get up and move around a bit,” Luan Yennan said to Zuo Baixuan. “How about we walk back together in a bit? It’s not far, and it’ll be good exercise.”
"Anything is fine," Zuo Baixuan nodded.
"Alright. Miss Si, my driver will take you home. We'll be going now." Luan Yennan said, taking Zuo Baixuan's hand.
Si Ruxin crossed her legs and turned to look out the window: "Oh dear, it's so miserable to be all alone. You guys can leave, I'm too lazy to watch anymore."
Only after the two left did I turn my gaze back to their departing figures.
Luan Ye Nan is a truly rare Alpha. He is not swayed by the looks of other Omegas, nor is he affected by pheromones, and he is not affected by the absence of his wife.
But an Omega like Zuo Baixuan is also worthwhile. She has real talent, changed her destiny through education, and didn't become a delicate parasitic plant just because she married Luan Yenan.
"Tsk, no wonder the old man deliberately kept quiet and instead used this method to trick me into contacting Luan Yennan. What a clever scheme." Si Ruxin sighed, gently swirling her wine glass in her hand.
...
After leaving the restaurant, Luan Yenan and Zuo Baixuan put on their coats and walked hand in hand down the street.
The unfamiliar scenery of a foreign land, and the different skin colors and physical characteristics of the people on the road, all bring a strange feeling.
Looking at Zuo Baixuan, Luan Yenan had the illusion that he had just transmigrated to this world.
Autumn has passed, and winter has arrived.
The temperature dropped in New York City these past two days, and it felt even colder at night. Zuo Baixuan is sensitive to the cold, and her nose turned red from the cold, with steam rising from her mouth.
She wrapped herself tightly in her white down jacket, looking less like a white flower and more like a little white dumpling.
Luan Yennan didn't say anything, but simply pulled Zuo Baixuan's hand and quickened his pace.
Zuo Baixuan was caught in a tug-of-war; all of today's schedules were both delayed and accelerated because of Luan Yennan. Just like her own plans, they were always teetering on the edge of slipping out of control.
Back at the hotel, I stood in the elevator.
Zuo Baixuan felt the environment was too quiet and casually asked, "This meal must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Luan Yenan smiled and said, "Do you want to be a housekeeper?"
"What kind of housekeeper is this? I can't be bothered with you." Zuo Baixuan turned her head away.
Luan Yenan suddenly remembered something and said, "This meal is nothing. I'm going to give you something to wear when you accompany me to the summit."
When she went out to eat, she would have her trusted bodyguard retrieve the necklace she had photographed from the bank vault and put it in the hotel's safe.
"When did I say I would accompany you to the summit?" Zuo Baixuan retorted.
Although she hadn't considered when to return to China, she planned to check flight tickets tonight and fly away if a suitable one was available.
“Si Ruxin will also be attending,” Luan Yennan said. “The photos of her walking on the road earlier were probably taken by no one, but there will definitely be people at the summit.”
Zuo Baixuan never imagined that in addition to appearing in domestic news footage with Luan Yenan, she would also leave her mark internationally.
If that's the case, can I still divorce Luan Yenan?
What a spectacle it will be when they divorce, how much attention and sensation it will attract, and how many Omegas will be tempted to get involved.
Zuo Baixuan pursed her lips and followed Luan Yenan into the suite.
Feeling the warmth of the room, I took off my coat.
Turning around, Luan Yenan was holding a dazzling starlight in his hand.
No, it's a diamond necklace that sparkles like starlight.
It turns out that Luan Yenan went to the auction for this necklace.
Luan Yenan slowly approached her and placed an expensive necklace around her neck. The elegant light blue dress tinged the diamonds with a light blue hue, but it couldn't diminish the dazzling brilliance of the diamond necklace.
Even someone like Zuo Baixuan, who doesn't usually care about jewelry, was dazzled by the rows and rows of diamonds.
"How much did this cost?"
“Three thousand eight hundred,” Luan Yenan replied.
Zuo Baixuan didn't need to think too much to know that the order of magnitude following this was several zeros.
Luan Yenan was very satisfied with the effect when she saw Zuo Baixuan's appearance. When she first saw the necklace, she imagined how beautiful Zuo Baixuan would look wearing it.
Luan Yenan took another step closer to Zuo Baixuan, his left hand gently stroking the end of the necklace, the tassels falling down to Zuo Baixuan's back, and then he pulled the back zipper of her dress.
The sudden action startled Zuo Baixuan so much that she just wanted to run away. Has this guy started to act like a hooligan so openly now?
"What are you doing?" Zuo Baixuan pressed the zipper with her hand behind her back.
"The advertising slogan for this necklace includes a note: 'Only when placed directly against the skin can the brilliance of the diamonds be brought out,'" Luan Yenan explained.
Zuo Baixuan's face gradually turned red, but she wasn't so easily fooled.
“The dress’s base color ruins the beauty of the diamonds. Don’t believe me? Try it and see for yourself.” Luan Yennan said, still pressing down with her fingers.
Zuo Baixuan didn't know what was wrong with her, but being stared at by Luan Yenan's eyes made her feel like she was under a spell, unable to move.
The zipper on the high-end dress provided by the hotel was poorly made; the zipper pull was broken, but the zipper was still managed to be torn open.
Skin pressed against the cool diamond necklace.
Zuo Baixuan's muscles contracted, but she didn't feel cold because the diamond's temperature was too low.
She gave Luan Yenan a light glare.
Luan Yenan's gaze, however, was frighteningly intense.
It was impossible to tell whether she was admiring the necklace or the person in front of her.
Zuo Baixuan's heart was pounding. She took a deep breath. Perhaps it was because she was in a foreign land, but it felt as if the shackles on her body had been broken. It wasn't just Luan Yenan who was restless.
She said in a low voice, "You're not allowed to look."
Her little trick of playing hard to get couldn't stop Luan Yenan.

Chapter 68
As expected, Zuo Baixuan woke up in Luan Yenan's arms.
She opened her eyes, still a little groggy. Her gaze swept over the diamond necklace worth 38 million, which was casually tossed on the bedside table and half-hanging on the clock. She saw that it was only a little past nine.
It's still early.
I didn't feel hungry, my body was just complaining of fatigue, so I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.
Luan Yenan felt the movement in his arms and opened his eyes.
Compared to the indulgence after a few days of intense work, last night felt more like relaxing entertainment.
When I woke up, I felt no fatigue at all and just wanted to feel the warmth of the person in my arms.
He noticed that Zuo Baixuan had closed her eyes and fallen asleep again.
Luan Yenan gently kissed Zuo Baixuan's shoulder, then lazily propped himself up on his side and looked at Zuo Baixuan's sleeping face.
From Zuo Baixuan's thick eyelashes, one can see her red lips with bite marks at the corners of her mouth, and then trace the muscle lines down to the back of her neck.
The back of my neck is red and swollen, a result of marking it again yesterday.
Last night, during our time together, our pheromones were attracted to each other.
Luan Yenan then naturally released his pheromones again to "commit the crime".
In all other situations, Zuo Baixuan could enjoy harmony with her, but the only exception was the marking.
When Luan Yenan was marking, he would also take the time to observe Zuo Baixuan's expression, from the initial pleasure to the later rejection, which would not last more than ten seconds.
She couldn't figure out the reason; was it because she lacked the right methods, or was there an incurable problem with her pheromones?
Luan Yenan lightly touched the back of Zuo Baixuan's neck with his finger.
Zuo Baixuan curled up, curling herself into a ball like a little hedgehog. Her smooth back muscles tightened, revealing the shape of her spine, which looked like sharp spikes raised in a defensive posture.
"Let me sleep a little longer," Zuo Baixuan said softly, burying her face in the blanket.
"You go to sleep first, I have to go out for a bit."
"Mmm." Zuo Baixuan, still dazed in bed, responded vaguely, though it was unclear whether she had actually heard him.
We were planning to have breakfast together, but now it seems unlikely.
Luan Yennan didn't force her. He lowered his head and kissed Zuo Baixuan's temple, then didn't say anything more.
I wrapped myself in a bathrobe, found some paper and pen, and left a note. Then I changed into some casual clothes that would allow me to move around easily and went out.
Today is the time she made an appointment with the hospital to pick up her medical examination report. Perhaps the report will reveal the reason why she always rejects the temporary markers.
The private hospital provided breakfast upon Luan Yenan's arrival.
Luan Yenan listened to the doctor while eating breakfast.
The result sounded rather ominous, so she stopped what she was doing and put the plates aside.
"Based on the pheromone test results, your pheromones show some rejection towards other pheromones, which is very likely due to a pheromone immune deficiency. I wonder if you've had similar experiences before, or if this is a recent development?" the doctor asked.
