Missing You Deeply

The Most Humiliating Reunion (9)

Su Wanwan had originally thought that with Pei Munian’s swift and ruthless approach in the business field in recent years, she might read about bad news in the newspaper such as the Pei Corporation taking over the Su Corporation in the morning. Or perhaps she would read about the Su Corporation being unable to draw in investments because they had offended the Pei Corporation and would eventually be forced to declare bankruptcy. Or even worse, she might be abducted in secret and completely disappear without a trace.

Unexpectedly, Pei Munian didn’t make any moves at all on the second day, or the third day, or even the fourth day… A week had passed, but there was still no news.

Those words he said that night seemed to be a figment of Su Wanwan’s imagination.

Su Wanwan was still perplexed after thinking about it over and over again.

What exactly did Pei Munian mean? Did he really just scare me on purpose? Or did he decide not to make things difficult for me out of respect for Lingyu? Or perhaps… he was suddenly struck by his conscience?

After thinking about it for a long time, Su Wanwan still couldn’t figure it out, so she simply gave up thinking about it.

It would be best if Pei Munian didn’t cause her any trouble so she wouldn’t have to be on edge every day.

She should feel relieved, but strangely, Su Wanwan felt an ache in her heart that wouldn’t go away.

Pei Munian had been on an urgent business trip the past week. After wrapping up work there, he didn’t linger and instead got his assistant to book the earliest flight back to China.

Assistant Wu was already waiting at the exit. When he saw Pei Munian coming out, he hurried over to Pei Munian and took his suitcase from him.

After a more than ten-hour long-distance flight, Pei Munian appeared slightly exhausted. Rubbing his temples, he strode towards the airport exit while asking lightly, “Did anything happen this week?”

Assistant Wu thought he was asking about the company and immediately reported to him in an orderly manner.

Pei Munian nodded, “What else?”

Assistant Wu pondered for a moment. Thinking that he was asking about the household, he hurriedly reported the Pei family’s situation.

“Ok, what else?”

What else…?

Assistant Wu’s footsteps faltered slightly and his eyebrows knitted together in confusion. He couldn’t help but frown in doubt.

I already gave an account of the company’s and household’s situations; what else could there be?

At this moment, Pei Munian had already walked to the car. The chauffeur opened the car door. Pei Munian bent down and got in before taking out his phone and turning it on.

Assistant Wu didn’t say anything for a long time. Pei Munian looked up and nonchalantly glanced at him. Assistant Wu involuntarily hung his head but still bit the bullet and asked, “President Pei, may I know… what you’re referring to?”

Pei Munian paused for a moment before slowly opening his mouth, “More sensational news or juicy news.”

Assistant Wu was stunned. He had been with President Pei for so many years. This was his first time seeing President Pei’s gossipy side. Despite being curious, he quickly racked his brain for news in the past week. There didn’t seem to be anything special, so he shook his head and responded, “There’s been nothing.”

There’s been nothing.

When he heard Assistant Wu’s words, Pei Munian’s eyes darkened and his aura suddenly turned so chilly that even the temperature in the car dropped by several degrees.

Assistant Wu looked at Pei Munian’s expression. His handsome face was somber, his thin lips were tightly pressed together and there seemed to be an undercurrent brewing deep in his eyes.

Assistant Wu’s heart abruptly skipped a beat in fright at the sight of his expression. He quickly lowered his eyes and tried to breathe quietly.

He thought back in detail,

I don’t think I said anything inappropriate just now. Why does President Pei seem to be in a bad mood all of a sudden?
