Su Wanwan spent a sleepless night, tossing and turning. When the sky was slightly bright, she faintly heard the sound of the car starting. Her whole body suddenly jolted, and her eyes snapped open instantly.

  Has Pei Muni left?

  Su Wanwan immediately got out of bed, didn't even bother to put on her shoes, and ran barefoot to the balcony outside the room. Looking down, she indeed saw Pei Muxuan's car quickly driving away from the old mansion, gradually disappearing from her sight.

  Su Wanwan stood there for a long time, staring blankly until she couldn't see anything anymore. All her strength seemed to be drained away in an instant, and she collapsed weakly.

  She originally wanted to deceive herself, but reality cruelly poured cold water on her, making her thoroughly awake.

  Dream... it seems like I should wake up now.

  It wasn't until a cool breeze blew across her body that Su Wanwan shivered and came back to herself.

  She slowly walked back to the room, sat on the bed, and stared blankly for a while. The sun rose, and the sunlight slanted into the room, shining on her body, warm but unable to dispel the chill that lingered on her.

  Su Wan looked at the clock on the wall, it was already eight o'clock. Soon, Mr. and Mrs. Pei would wake up. When Mrs. Pei woke up, she would definitely ask her about yesterday's situation. She didn't want to let her know, lest she be disappointed. So, she mustered up her spirits, quickly washed up, went downstairs, asked the servant to inform Mrs. Pei, and then left.

  Because Su Wanwan walked for a long time in the morning before catching a ride, she arrived at the company somewhat late.

  Xiao Mei hastily came up and said: "Wanwan sister, why are you so late today? I called your phone but it was always turned off."

  Su Wanwan thought her phone probably ran out of battery last night and turned itself off.

  Su Wan didn't want to explain so much to Xiao Mei and simply said: "Is there something urgent?"

  "There's no real urgency, it's just..."

  Xiao Mei lightly bit her lower lip, pointed to the direction of the chairman's office with her finger, and lowered her voice a little, "The chairman is looking for you, he has asked several times already. As soon as you return to the company, go to his office."

  Su Wanwan's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of fatigue slowly seeped into the depths of her eyes.

  Grandpa found her, she didn't need to think about it and knew what it was for. It was nothing more than urging her to hurry up and let Pei Muyan set the wedding date. But... now don't mention the wedding, whether she can continue to maintain this marriage with Pei Muyan is still a question.

  These days she was so exhausted, really didn't have the energy to deal with grandfather's nagging. She thought for a moment and said: "Xiao Mei, you go respond to Grandfather, I'm going out to see guests today, won't be returning to the company, whatever it is, we'll talk about it another day."

  "Huh?"

  Xiao Mei was somewhat surprised because all along, Su Wanwan had always been extremely obedient to the chairman and would never go against his wishes, yet today she let her tell a lie.

  However, she quickly recovered from her surprise and nodded, "Alright, I understand."

  Pausing for a moment, Xiaomei asked again, "So, Lao Jie, what are your plans for today? Are you really going to see clients or...?"

  Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment before responding: "Help me make an appointment with President Wang."

  -

  Su Wanwan accompanied Wang Zong to eat at the Imperial Court, during which she went to the restroom. When passing by a private room, the door was half open. She inadvertently glanced inside and saw Pei Muyan sitting on the sofa, with a woman sitting extremely close to him... it was Xi Zhuiwei.
