Liang Yan struggled in her sleep. In her dream, Pei Yu was holding an umbrella and looking at her. There was no emotion on his handsome face, and his cold eyes were filled with disgust. "Kneel down and beg me to let you go."
He was still as noble and arrogant as ever. His hand was clearly shielding her from the rain, but the words he said were so hurtful. His disgusted gaze was like a knife stabbing into her chest.
She called out his name sadly, "Pei Yu, Pei Yu…"
However, he only lowered his head to look at her. His body exuded a coldness that made people tremble in fear, as if he was looking at something that disgusted him to the extreme.
Liang Yan's chest throbbed with pain and she had difficulty breathing, causing her to wake up from her nightmare.
The man from last night had already left.
Only a trace of his scent remained on the pillow. This smell made her think of Pei Yu for no reason, and her heart ached even more.
She did not dare to stay any longer. She put on her clothes and walked out of the hotel.
She decided to go directly to the company to handle the handover of her resignation. She no longer wanted to run into Pei Yu.
However, she did not expect Zhou Ting to take a sick leave. She called Zhou Ting. Zhou Ting was very weak and even troubled her to help her with the reception for a few days. Liang Yan hesitated.
Zhou Ting did not hear Liang Yan's response, so she begged, "Xiao Liang, please help me on account of me promoting you previously. Our department is too busy, and I really can't spare anyone. It's only for a few days. After this reception is over, I'll immediately settle the handover for you."
Hearing such a plea, Liang Yan's heart softened. Zhou Ting had indeed helped her a lot. Take it as repayment. She accepted Zhou Ting's work arrangements.
She didn't expect that she would have to go to the President's office to get the guest list. Liang Yan took a deep breath and swiped her card to enter the private elevator leading to the President's office.
When the elevator door opened, Liang Yan saw the two people standing side by side at the elevator. What she was afraid of really happened.
Pei Yu did not seem to see her. He raised his hand and tucked the loose hair behind Chen Yuan's ear.
Chen Yuan smiled sweetly at him. There was no room for anyone else in their loving eyes.
Liang Yan walked out of the elevator and could only interrupt the couple's passionate love. "CEO Chen, I'm in charge of the reception for this banquet. Please give me the list of personnel."
"You?" Chen Yuan sized up her distrustfully.
"Yes, Sister Zhou Ting took sick leave and delegated the job to me," Liang Yan said in a businesslike manner.
"Alright then," Chen Yuan replied coldly. She then turned to Pei Yu and smiled, "Pei Yu, wait for me. I'll go get the name list."
Liang Yan was about to follow her, but Pei Yu's tall figure blocked her.
Liang Yan lowered her eyes and took a few steps back to distance herself from him.
However, he pressed forward step by step. Liang Yan smelled his familiar scent and her heart ached. It had been a long time since she had seen him.
Pei Yu had lost some weight, and his face was even more defined. His gaze was cold, and his lips were pursed tightly. "You really have two faces."
Liang Yan endured his sarcasm and smiled warmly. "You must be joking, President Pei."
Pei Yu narrowed his long and narrow eyes as a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "Why haven't I seen your sugar daddy recently?"
Liang Yan lowered her head and bit her lip without saying anything. Chu Zhou would not disturb her for the time being, but if he knew that she had been…
At this moment, Chen Yuan walked over and said calmly to Liang Yan, "I'll get someone to send the name list to your phone." After saying that, she smiled and held Pei Yu's hand. "Let's go."
Pei Yu let her pull him and walked straight into the elevator without looking at Liang Yan again.
After entering the elevator, Pei Yu removed Chen Yuan's hand from his.
Chen Yuan looked at his indifferent expression and raised his head to ask him, "Pei Yu, do you still hate it when others touch you?"
"Yeah."
Chen Yuan was a little disappointed. "Pei Yu, are you still angry with me? I left back then because I wanted to be better fit to be by your side in the future."
Pei Yu's indifferent eyes finally looked at her. His tone was less cold. "I don't like to be touched. It's my problem."
Chen Yuan smiled and nodded. "Got it."
Liang Yan threw away the surging emotions in her heart and got out of the elevator. She started to check the name list and prepared to receive them.
What she didn't expect was that most of the names on the list were people with power and influence here. Her gaze followed the name down, and her finger stopped on that name. Jiang Sheng.
