Editor: Henyee Translations historical
Although she didn’t know why the room Secretary Su had brought her to had become Pei Munian’s room, she would let this incident rot in her stomach and not let anybody, especially her Grandpa, find out about this.
If Grandpa knew about this, he wouldn’t let the matter drop so easily because of who Pei Munian is and his background. He might even use this incident to obtain some benefit for the company. I could never ever let him do that.
As she thought about this, Su Wanwan’s face grew solemn. Her gaze as she looked at Xiao Mei was extremely stern and her tone became a little harsher as she said, “If anything about today’s affair reaches Grandpa’s ears, then you can hand in your resignation letter.”

There was no way Su Wanwan could go to the office looking like this, so she asked Xiao Mei to take her back to the Su Family residence. After changing her shoes at the entrance, she wanted to go straight to her room, but when she passed by the living room, Su Zhenhua called out to her.
Su Wanwan was startled. She didn’t expect Grandpa to be at home.
She stood rooted to the spot for a few seconds before quickly fiddling with her hair so that her long and straight hair fell in front of her, covering the questionable marks on her neck. She then turned around slowly, flashed a small smile, and said softly, “Grandpa, you didn’t go to the office today?”
Su Zhenhua was sitting on the sofa and leisurely sipping his tea. After taking a sip of tea, he put the teacup down but didn’t answer Su Wanwan’s question. Instead, he looked her up and down.
Did he notice something?
Panic and anxiety crept up her heart, but Su Wanwan tried her best to remain calm on the surface.
Fortunately, Su Zhenhua simply looked at her for a moment before saying, “It was already quite late when the function ended yesterday, so I didn’t call you and went back on my own first.”
Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment. She then realized that Grandpa was explaining to her what happened last night. Looks like he didn’t notice anything amiss. Su Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.
Su Zhenhua continued, “Why are your eyes so red? You didn’t sleep well last night?”
Subconsciously, Su Wanwan touched her eyes and let out a forced laugh to cover up as she replied, “I was feeling a bit sick from drinking too much last night, so... Sorry Grandpa, I forgot my manners.”
She hung her head and stood there, waiting for a reprimand from Su Zhenhua. However, Su Zhenhua didn’t reprimand her this time. He simply told her to be careful next time before asking her to return to her room.
Averting the crisis just like that, Su Wanwan rejoiced inwardly and also felt a little comforted. Looks like Grandpa actually loves me very much...
Su Wanwan returned to her room and lay on her large bed. She was physically exhausted but even more so mentally.

Su Wanwan looked over. Her gaze fell on the sheets of paper, and she stared at them in a daze.
They were newspaper clippings. In the past three years that Pei Munian told her not to appear in front of him, she relied on collecting newspaper clippings of him to satisfy her deep longing for him.
In the past three years, whenever there were news articles or interviews about him in newspapers or magazines, she would buy the newspaper or magazine then cut out that page and store it carefully.
However, it was completely meaningless.
Scoffing at herself, she got up, picked up the pieces of paper, and threw them back into the box. After that, she threw the box into the trash can.

Su Wanwan thought things between her and Pei Munian were definitely over. However, she didn’t expect that... three days later, a huge piece of news about both of them would make the headlines and cause an uproar in the city!
