“There’s no need for you to apologize.” Bai Qihan said calmly, “I will head back to my meeting now.”

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Luo Yun sighed. Oh no, he seems to have misunderstood me and thought that I did not want to appear together with him.

In all honesty, she really just did not want him to go to such places where most of the eventgoers would be staring at him with disdainful gazes. Luo Yun threw her phone on the bed and gritted her teeth in anger.

Doesn’t Luo Dashan want us to go to the birthday celebration? Alright, I hope they can withstand my birthday wishes!

In the blink of an eye, the day of the birthday banquet had arrived.

The banquet would begin at eight in the evening, and Luo Yun had to be there an hour earlier. Bai Qihan’s assistant, Qiu Ming, was the first to contact her. He was careful with his words and told her to pay attention to the time and not to make her husband wait too long.

Qiu Ming could not be blamed for reminding her of this. The original Luo Yun did not have a great sense of time and often made Bai Qihan wait for her for a long time. However, the current Luo Yun was different. As a respected doctor of her world, she always held time of great importance. How could she be late?

Luo Yun had already started preparing. She opened the cloakroom and picked out a wine-red dress. The slim design made her look especially tall and slender. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was fair, her face was pretty, her figure was slender, and most importantly, she was young. Before she was transmigrated into the book, she had spent nearly all her time immersed in medicine. She had never had the time to dress herself up like this.

Unfortunately, the life experience of the original owner suppressed such a beauty to the point of inferiority and sensitivity. Her character had been particularly lacking. In addition, she did not study much and was not smart enough in this world filled with conniving people. Luo Yun straightened her back and reached out to touch her face in the mirror. “Since I’ve been sent here, I’ll definitely live your life well for you.”

At half past six, Luo Yun finished packing and arrived beside Bai Qihan’s car on time.

Qiu Ming, who was opening the car door, was stunned for a few seconds when he saw Luo Yun. He was wondering why the madam had such a cold yet beautiful temperament today. However, these thoughts were fleeting. He quickly retracted his gaze and extended his hand to invite the madam to get into the car.

Luo Yun thanked him and got into the car. She looked at the time and smiled at the man sitting next to her. “I’m on time.”

When she said this, she was like a child who was asking for praise. Her curved eyebrows were especially cute.

Bai Qihan moved his gaze away from his documents and saw her face. He was a little stunned. The girl tied her long hair up, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbones. Her makeup was very clean. Her thin eyebrows were matched with earth-colored eye makeup. The corners of her eyes, which were originally slightly drooping, were outlined with eyeliner to form an upward arc, making her a bit more charming. Her lips were covered in dark red lipstick. The wine-red dress accentuated her snow-white skin, making it shine and look delicate.

Coupled with the advantages brought by her figure, she was beautiful no matter how one looked at her. With just one look, one would find themselves infatuated with her for quite some time.

Luo Yun had spent two hours on her makeup and had even searched for tutorials on the internet. After all, how could she go to the Luo family without a strong presence?

Luo Yun was very satisfied with his results. Naturally, she also noticed the surprise that flashed across Bai Qihan’s dark eyes.

She slightly pursed her lips and smiled.

Bai Qihan turned around and looked at his documents again.

“Do I look good today?” Luo Yun’s crisp voice rang in his ear, her tone full of anticipation.

Bai Qihan paused for a moment before he replied with an “Mm-hm.”

Luo Yun snorted, “How perfunctory! You did not even take a look at me properly! You’re just speaking with your eyes closed!”

Qiu Ming, who was driving in the front, suddenly became restless.

What is wrong with the madam today? She’s even flirting with the young master? I didn’t hear wrongly, did I?

This was something that had never happened before. Ever since he was young, no woman would not admire Bai Qihan’s looks and wisdom. However, when they thought about his disability, those rich young ladies would still choose to stay away from him. As the fourth master grew older and became more powerful in the business world, no one dared to be presumptuous in front of him.

The corners of Luo Yun’s lips curled upward, and the smile in her eyes deepened. He seems to be a little shy… Since that’s the case, I should put in some more effort. It’s much easier for a woman to chase after a man.

She moved closer, right next to his ear, and then deliberately lowered her voice. Her tone was soft and slow, and she breathed into his red ears. “Why are you still not looking at me? What are you looking at?”

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable. Her best friend had once taught her that intimate physical contact was good for cultivating feelings and that a coquettish tone was more likely to move people.
