Chapter 3 - First Love Returns

Early the next morning, Liang Yan put on exquisite makeup and got up to go to the company to resign.

All these years, she had been working in the Pei Corporation. Although she did not rely on Pei Yu and relied on her own ability to establish herself in the company, now that she had broken up with Pei Yu and realized that she had always been a clown with deep feelings, she did not want to stay in the company anymore.

She wanted to eliminate all means of meeting Pei Yu.

After arriving at the company, Liang Yan finished writing her resignation letter and was about to go to the pantry to make a cup of coffee to refresh herself when she suddenly heard her colleagues chatting in the pantry.

Her hand that was opening the door suddenly stopped.

"Do you know? President Pei's first love is also entering the company!"

"What's going on? She's President Pei's first love. Is she going to join the company and do basic work with people like us who have no status?"

"Of course not! I heard that she directly became the CEO!"

"Oh my god! President Pei is spoiling her too much!"

"That's right…"

The voices of her colleagues were like needles pricking her, causing Liang Yan's heart to ache again.

She lowered her hand in a panic and turned to leave as if she was escaping.

However, sometimes, the more you wanted to escape, the more the heavens would not let you off.

When Liang Yan passed by the elevator in a daze, she saw the president's exclusive elevator open with a ding. She subconsciously looked at the elevator and her heart stopped.

A familiar figure walked out of the elevator. He had a tall and straight figure and a beautiful face. He was just like the noble young masters described in the books. He was so noble that it made people feel ashamed of their inferiority.

It was Pei Yu.

Just as Liang Yan was in a daze, she saw a fair and delicate hand reach out from the elevator and hold Pei Yu's hand. Pei Yu did not seem to reject it. After being stunned for a moment, he held that hand and pulled the woman out.

Liang Yan held her breath and her heart suddenly tightened.

There was nothing more cruel than seeing the person you loved deeply hand in hand with another woman.

Liang Yan turned her head away and fled back to her desk in a sorry state.

Before Liang Yan could calm down, Pei Yu came over with a group of department heads behind him.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Chen Yuan, and I'm the new CEO~ I hope that we can get along well in the future and create glory together with the Pei Corporation."

Her playful and cute self-introduction easily won everyone's favor.

Even Pei Yu looked at Chen Yuan lovingly.

Liang Yan lowered her head, not daring to look anymore.

She was afraid that she would cry in the next second.

After a simple self-introduction, Chen Yuan held Pei Yu's arm and left for the president's office.

Watching the two of them leave, the colleagues beside them quickly gathered together and discussed, their voices filled with envy.

Minmin, who had a good relationship with Liang Yan, held her chin and sighed. "The president came to escort her on her first day in the office. Is this the legendary sweet love story?" As she spoke, she nudged Liang Yan with her elbow. "Don't you think so?!"

Liang Yan forced a smile. "Ah… Yes, I'm so envious."

Another colleague, Lin Si, also came over with a mysterious expression. "This isn't just little sweet love story!"

"What? Do you know anything else?" Minmin pulled Chen Si excitedly. "Tell me, tell me!"

Lin Si raised her head proudly. "To think that you're known as the little gossip princess. You don't even know about the matters of the wealthy families!"

"Hurry up and say it, Sister Si!" Minmin pulled Chen Si's sleeve and wheedled.

Only then did Lin Si say in a low voice, "The president and our new CEO are not only childhood sweethearts, but they used to be evenly matched opponents in school. Only such an outstanding person can make the president fall deeply in love!"

"Oh my god!" Minmin covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Then why have they been separated for so many years? The president doesn't look like he's the type to let her go!"

"That's another secret," Lin Si said mysteriously. "As the daughter of a wealthy family, Miss Chen is also very outstanding. Before she graduated from university, she received an olive branch from a top university overseas. Who knew, the president would propose. After hesitating, Miss Chen chose to abandon her man and embark on the path of her career!"

"As expected of a Young Miss. She actually abandoned such an outstanding man like the president just like that!" Minmin widened her eyes and sighed in disbelief.
