From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 94 - Call Bai
Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Call Bai
“Yiyi, who is that woman with Third Young Master? By the looks of it, she doesn’t seem to have good intentions!”
Suddenly, Feng Siyu grabbed Qiao Yi’s hand, directing her gaze towards Lu Yanchuan.
Dressed in a red gown, Le Bai stood ambiguously close to Lu Yanchuan, the two contrasting with one cold and the other vibrant, oddly seeming well-matched together.
Qiao Yi slightly furrowed her brows, feeling somewhat uncomfortable as she watched the two of them.
Why is Lu Yanchuan standing so close to that woman?
Meanwhile, Le Bai was actively trying to engage Lu Yanchuan in conversation, but her efforts were noticeably ineffective; regardless of what she said or did, Lu Yanchuan remained indifferent.
...
Is he really that uninterested?
Frustrated and helpless, Le Bai finally stood up straight after being ignored by Lu Yanchuan again, and positioned herself opposite him, arms crossed.
“Mr. Lu is really aloof, isn’t he? I’m truly curious how Miss Qiao managed to win over such an ice block!”
This time, Lu Yanchuan no longer ignored Le Bai, but slowly shifted his gaze onto her face, barely curling the corner of his lips.
“By seduction.”
“Huh?”
Le Bai was momentarily taken aback, letting out a befuddled huff.
But when she realized what he meant, even with her extraordinary composure, Le Bai’s face couldn’t help but show a flicker of change due to Lu Yanchuan’s taunting.
What does he mean by seduction! Qiao Yi isn’t unfamiliar, she admitted that she might be slightly less attractive, but how could Qiao Yi’s petite frame compare to hers!
Who doesn’t like a substantial meal? Light porridge and side dishes might be a nice change of pace occasionally, but anyone would know what to choose for the long term!
Lu Yanchuan stating that Qiao Yi won him over by seduction, how could Le Bai believe him!
He must be mocking me!
Instead of getting angry, Le Bai laughed and suddenly leaned towards Lu Yanchuan, whispering in his ear just before he could push her away.
“Your Miss Qiao is watching you.”
Contentedly, Le Bai walked away, finding that observing this unemotional, unromantic man was sufficient; imagining him as a lover, she would definitely be bored to death!
Lu Yanchuan slightly squinted his eyes, looking in the direction Le Bai had just gestured towards, and spotted Qiao Yi standing on the stairs looking their way, accompanied by Yun Luoluo and Feng Siyu.
Although nothing had happened with Le Bai, Lu Yanchuan still felt inexplicably guilty.
This feeling, foreign to his twenty-something years of life, made him instinctively resistant to this unfathomable emotion.
Why did Le Bai tell him that Qiao Yi was watching?
Nothing had transpired between them, so even if Qiao Yi saw, what could it change? Le Bai’s extra effort seemed unnecessary.
Lu Yanchuan’s subconscious told him this was not as simple as he thought, yet that fleeting intuition of touching the truth always eluded him.
Qiao Yi just looked their way a few times before walking away with Yun Luoluo, with no intention of looking back.
Although Qiao Yi appeared unchanged, Lu Yanchuan felt she must be upset.
Why? Because she saw him talking to Le Bai? Or was it something else?
Lu Yanchuan vaguely had an idea, a thought that slightly itched at his heart, but he dismissed this among all possibilities.
Perhaps it was just moments ago in the break room when someone upset her.
Here, Feng Siyu was also incessantly questioning Qiao Yi.
“Why don’t you go and assert your dominance? That’s your Third Young Master, why should anyone be able to flirt with him! Even if you don’t assert your dominance, at least you should go and ask, right? If someone takes advantage of the situation, it’ll be too late for tears!”
Actually, Qiao Yi did take in what Feng Siyu was saying, but what she thought about were her own words from the past.
If Lu Yanchuan really found someone he liked, she would choose to divorce amicably, and even if necessary, they could continue their marital status, just not interfering with each other’s personal feelings.
That woman just now… pretty and great figure, she looked very compatible standing next to Lu Yanchuan…
Qiao Yi isn’t attentive, Feng Siyu looks worried but can’t make any decisions for her, only incessantly advising her in her ear that she must claim her rights…
Although today’s banquet was to celebrate Yun Luoluo’s birthday, Yun Luoluo only showed up briefly during the cake-cutting and blowing out the candles, afterwards, no one paid much attention to the birthday party theme.
They were more concerned about who Yun Luoluo would get engaged to, and whether there would be any changes in their interest groups.

Qiao Yi had no interest in these matters, and after greeting Yun Luoluo, she sat in a corner by herself.
The scene she had just witnessed on the staircase made Qiao Yi not want to look for Lu Yanchuan at all.
“Miss Qiao, you and your husband really, both like being alone.”
Qiao Yi looked up on hearing this, seeing the woman who was just with Lu Yanchuan, now standing in front of her.
“You are…”
“Sihai Entertainment, Le Bai, nice to meet you.”
Qiao Yi glanced at the hand extended towards her, a bit puzzled about what Le Bai was playing at.
Was she showing off? Or trying to provoke?
Disturbed by her thoughts, Qiao Yi still reached out and touched her hand.
But Qiao Yi couldn’t retract her hand as it was suddenly held tightly by Le Bai.
“Miss Qiao, you use Pandy’s foundation, right? I could recommend a suitable foundation for you. While Pandy’s is good, it’s ultimately a mass-market product, I have someone who customizes foundations based on skin type…”
A voluptuous beauty squeezed into the small solo sofa next to her, Qiao Yi could smell Le Bai’s subtle fragrance; the scent seemed laced with magic, making her feel weak at the knees.
Now completely unable to withdraw her hand, Qiao Yi felt overwhelmed by Le Bai’s warmth, dazedly unaware of when she was led away from the venue.
When Qiao Yi finally came to her senses, she was already touring Sihai Entertainment with Le Bai.
“President Le…”
“Call me Bai, not President Le, tell me, what’s up?”
Enthusiastic affection from a beautiful woman is hard to resist, even from the same sex.
Qiao Yi swallowed, struggled to divert her gaze away from Le Bai.
“That, us leaving like this, isn’t it inappropriate? The banquet hasn’t ended yet…”
Before Qiao Yi could finish, Le Bai briskly waved her hand and pulled her along, changing direction towards the upstairs.
As they walked, Le Bai smiled meaningfully.
“Why bother with a boring party? I’ll show you around the company, and just so you know, we have two new trainees this year with quite the looks!”
