Chapter 75
Zuo Baixuan slept soundly, unaware of the time, and only opened her eyes after her phone rang repeatedly several times.
When I regained consciousness, I only felt soreness and weakness in my body.
She looked around with blurry vision and realized that she was lying in the second bedroom of the suite.
For a moment, I doubted whether my memory of last night was just a dream after drinking.
Was she already drunk after returning from the banquet last night, and then collapsed on the bed after taking a shower and changing her clothes?
Zuo Baixuan reached for her phone, the sensation of her body rubbing against the thick blanket was strange. As she grabbed the phone, she glanced at her body.
I forgot to change my clothes last night; I just lay down in there after taking a shower.
No, no...
Zuo Baixuan hurriedly touched the back of her neck.
Um?
The barrier sticker is on properly.
There's nothing wrong with the pheromones on his body.
Even the glands were perfectly normal, with no residual vodka effects. My body felt refreshed, entirely due to the injection of the suppressant.
There are no temporary tags, and no permanent tags.
The alcohol from last night seemed to still linger in her blood. She shook her head, and the sound of water seemed to follow, but it was all an illusion.
Was it all really just a dream?
Ring ring ring—
The phone rang incessantly again.
Zuo Baixuan suppressed all her strange thoughts and answered the phone.
"Xiao Zuo'er!!! Are you alright!!! I've called you eight hundred times, why did it take you so long to answer! I called Luan Yenan this morning and she said you were still sleeping, but you haven't replied to any of my messages. I'm starting to lose faith in her! Speak up, or I'm calling the police!" Jiang Lingdan's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zuo Baixuan glanced at her phone screen.
Eighteen missed calls.
There were dozens of messages on both SMS and WeChat.
It was clear how anxious Jiang Lingdan was, terrified of seeing herself in some news story.
"I'm... fine... cough cough cough." Zuo Baixuan opened her mouth, then regretted it.
The sound didn't seem like anything was wrong.
She felt as if she had been thrown into the desert for many days without water, and then encountered a mirage, being tricked into swallowing a mouthful of sand.
Zuo Baixuan fell silent.
Although she felt refreshed, another possibility came to mind.
Her face gradually turned red.
Jiang Lingdan also guessed this possibility and fell silent.
But after a three-second silence, Jiang Lingdan couldn't help but blurt out her thoughts: "You really don't sound like you're alright!"
Zuo Baixuan remained silent for a while before speaking in a hoarse voice, "I'm really fine, I'm just a little tired and haven't had enough sleep."
After listening, Jiang Lingdan cleared her throat.
This doesn't sound like a serious statement at all.
Jiang Lingdan held back for two more seconds, but she was not one to hold back her words.
She started complaining again: "Luan Yenan is really inhuman! What time did you stay up last night? Or did you completely forget that you made an appointment with us to meet and have dinner today? And, to return the dress?"
Zuo Baixuan really wanted to hang up the phone; her whole body ached, and her head hurt too.
She shouldn't have drunk alcohol yesterday. Now, her memories are hazy and confused, and there are even many stimulating images constantly attacking her.
She covered her face and said the truth first: "Let me sort this out. All I remember is that I dragged Luan Yenan out for drinks last night. I drank too much and now I have a headache."
"Oh, oh, oh, you've been drinking... Hmm, I get it, I get it. I was still half asleep this morning, but I remembered to get up and call you because I was worried something might have happened to you. If you drank on your own, then it's fine. There's no rush for our appointment, and no rush to change your dress either. Boss Luan can buy it for you. Okay, I'm not going to say anything more. I'm so sleepy. I'll sleep a little longer and contact you later."
After Jiang Lingdan finished speaking, she hung up the phone without giving Zuo Baixuan a chance to argue.
Zuo Baixuan silently put down her phone and sat up.
I looked around.
The second bedroom was perfectly normal. It was spotless, with no changes except for the marks on the bed where I had slept.
She couldn't even find a single piece of clothing to wear.
Fortunately, the luggage was placed by the door.
Zuo Baixuan tried her best to straighten up.
hiss--!
She quickly sat back down.
Why are there so many "marks" on the visible parts of my body again?
Upon closer inspection, even in areas not visible to the naked eye, there are shocking marks.
Jiang Lingdan is right!
Luan Yenan is not human!
Zuo Baixuan bit her lip, relying on those traces to retrieve the memories she had lost last night.
Images of being in the clouds kept flashing by, and her cheeks, ears, and body turned red.
Suddenly I understood why I woke up in the second bedroom that morning.
Perhaps it's because the master bedroom was in such a terrible state.
As for why Luan Yenan didn't sleep in the second bedroom with her, no one knows. Maybe he felt he had gone too far and was afraid that he would smother her with a pillow in the morning as revenge.
Zuo Baixuan was too embarrassed to even look at the marks. She wrapped herself in the blanket, moved to the suitcase, found a set of clothes that could cover her whole body, and then peeked out from behind the door with peace of mind.
Peeking out from the second bedroom, you see the storage room directly ahead, and through the corner of the wall, you can see the dining table behind the entrance.
She didn't see Luan Yenan anywhere in sight. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Luan Yenan might still be sleeping, since she had also used up more energy last night.
Zuo Baixuan thought about it and decided she should go check on the master bedroom. If the situation was too complicated or too bad, she could help clean it up.
After making up her mind, she tiptoed toward the master bedroom.
He walked across the living room and gently turned the doorknob of the master bedroom, just in case Luan Yena was still sleeping and he woke her up.
As soon as the door opened, a decadent atmosphere wafted out.
It's not the smell of pheromones, but a more primal scent.
Zuo Baixuan's eyes widened, and her skin flushed red from her neck to the top of her head.
That's really incredible!
The bed was a complete mess, it was an eyesore...
Why was the bathrobe left on the windowsill?
like……
It seems like he did it himself.
Let's look at the other side.
The dress probably can't be returned, unless they're willing to take back all the fabric scattered on the ground.
What happened to Luan Yenan yesterday?
Has she gone mad?!
Moreover, Luan Yennan was not in the master bedroom at this time.
“Crazy woman…” Zuo Baixuan’s voice was hoarse, but she couldn’t help but utter the words.
"Why does your voice sound so hoarse? There's breakfast in the kitchen. The porridge is still warm in the rice cooker. Have some first, and if you want anything else, have someone bring it over."
Luan Yennan's voice suddenly came from the side, startling Zuo Baixuan so much that she shrank back.
She quickly turned her head and could barely make out Luan Yenan sitting in a corner of the living room, wearing glasses and working diligently in front of the computer.
Zuo Baixuan's heart raced.
Luan Yenan sat in the shadows, but the light from her side made her glow.
But this bespectacled, seemingly refined person looks like... like a refined scoundrel.
Hide the inhuman parts of last night and reveal the true beauty.
Luan Yenan looked up at Zuo Baixuan and gave her a bright morning smile, even though she hadn't slept at all after having a good time last night.
She helped Zuo Baixuan tidy up and then took her to the second bedroom, while she sat down at her desk in the living room to start working.
Having decided to bring all plans forward, she was prepared to cut the time in half again.
From last night until now, she has only processed two project documents.
He called Luo Yun early in the morning and kept calling until she woke up, which made Luo Yun so angry that she almost cursed him.
However, they still confirmed a time to meet after returning to Beijing.
After breakfast, I informed several employees of my return time to Beijing and asked them to arrange their subsequent itinerary, the meeting times for each company leader, and the bidding schedule.
After finishing his directional work, Luan Yenan took a sip of coffee.
Then they saw Zuo Baixuan tiptoeing out of the second bedroom.
Seeing that Zuo Baixuan's steps were light and unsteady, with one foot light and the other heavy, one could tell that the effect of last night was too good, and the interest was still lingering on her body.
Luan Yenan sipped his coffee, sitting in the shadows of the curtains.
The living room was illuminated by the sunlight from outside, but this corner was hidden in the shadows and was hard to spot.
