C14 I Can't Let Her Go Even in My Dreams.

Ning Xia was very idle outside, but Pei Yichen and Shen Heng, who worked in the office, were not that relaxed.

Shen Heng kept checking one contract after another. He was highly focused on this task.

Pei Yichen held a videoconference with a foreign branch office.

He had yet to find the right opportunity to step in with the company here. It was just a matter of time however, all the branches abroad were firmly in his control.

Every Wednesday there was a videoconference with senior executives.

During the meeting, he glanced out the window and saw Ning Xia sleeping soundly on the desk in the outside office. His gaze softened a little.

When the executives saw Pei Yichen's expression on the screen, they were all somehow troubled. They quickly reflected if they had done anything inappropriate recently.

Her face was pillowed on her arms, half-buried in, sleeping very sweetly. She had a dream in which she once again returned to that surreal wedding. However, this time, she was not wearing a pure white wedding dress, but rather the red dress she wore at the party.

She stepped on the petals and walked step by step in front of the priest. This time, the groom also came.

She lowered her head shyly and saw the shiny black leather shoes. It was just like when she saw Pei Yichen's pair of leather shoes that day when the elevator opened. One could see the quality was very good.

The priest asked, whether they are poor or rich, healthy or sick, would they be willing to stay together.

Ning Xia nodded and said she was willing. Then, she followed the man's shoes and looked up bit by bit, wanting to see who the person she married was. However, that person's face seemed to be covered in a layer of white fog.

She slightly frowned, feeling vexed, throwing the flowers on the ground, coldly looking at him and asking, "Who exactly are you? Why are you still not showing your face after marrying me! "

After that person heard Ning Xia's accusation, he smirked. That laughter was cold and familiar. The white mist on his face slowly dispersed, revealing a resolute face that was as sharp as a knife.

Ning Xia was startled. She pointed her finger at him and started trembling. Her lips were trembling so much that she couldn't even speak.

His deep eyes were fixed on Ning Xia. His thin lips let out words that made her incredulous, "Ning Xia, it's time for you to return the money!"

His ice-cold voice sounded as if she has been sent to hell. The cold wind pierced her bones, causing her to wake up in an instant.

Ning Xia rubbed her sleepy eyes. When she realized where she was, she patted her chest with some lingering fear. Damn, so this was a dream …

Pei Yichen, who was sitting in his office, smiled as he watched her wake up from her dream, but in his mind, another person appeared.

Thinking of that person, his eyes became even more impenetrable. Lowering his head he looked at the mail that hadn't been opened for a long time and felt a sense of loss. I'm back, where are you?

"I met someone as cute as you."

The well-defined fingers quickly typed out a line of words. Then, after hesitating for a moment, he pressed the delete button and changed it to "I want to see you".

After hesitating again, he pressed Send.

His gaze once again fell on Ning Xia's body. His eyes were a lot clearer. The gentleness from before was like an illusion, disappearing without a trace.

"President Pei, the private investigators have sent a report."

After Shen Heng finished printing and organizing the information, he handed it to Pei Yichen respectfully.

Pei Yichen frowned and instructed through the computer, "Today's meeting is over."

After saying that, he switched off the computer. The executives on the split-screen revealed similar expressions of confusion and could only turn off the computers helplessly.

Pei Yichen took the information. Everything about Ning Xia was in there.

Ning Xia, 23 years old, female, Han, at the age of 8 was adopted by Ning Family from the orphanage. Three days ago, she replaced her adoptive parents' daughter to marry a young master with disabilities, from the Pei Family.

As a freshman, she was expelled from school for cheating.

Due to good performance when working in the department of retail sales, she was transferred to the Young Master's Business Department, where she was supposed to work hard.

This was the main information listed by Shen Heng. The rest was about the school she went to, as well as her excellent results and her job information for the past few years.

Pei Yichen looked at everything, frowning. This woman was too clean!

Following which, his gaze landed on the expulsion note of the school, "Go and find out why she was expelled."

A student with outstanding results being expelled for cheating. There's something fishy here.

Outside, Ning Xia was calming down. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and gulped down a large cup of cold water. Only then did she feel alive again.

She felt that she was under too much pressure lately, causing her to dream about this terrifying man!

"Yes, that must be it!"

Ning Xia tried her best to convince herself. Her phone suddenly rang, scaring her. When she saw that it was her former colleague from the marketing department, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Ye Zi's real name was Ye Miao Miao. Because she disliked this simple name, she decided to call herself Ye Zi. Everyone got used to it, so they all called her 'Ye Zi' instead of 'Ye Miao'.

Although she and Ye-Zi were colleagues, they were actually pretty close friends. In the past, it was Ye-Zi, who helped her a lot.

"Ye-Zi."

Ning Xia answered the phone and called her.

"Oh wow, grandaunt, I thought you had forgotten about me after your promotion!"

Ye Zi's sarcastic voice made Ning Xia laugh.

She was just like that, her mouth was vicious, but in fact, she treated Ning Xia better than anyone else in the marketing department.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm about to die from grievance. Where are you?"

"Brother Fatty brought some fish with pickled cabbage, come over quickly. There are a few colleagues around, we'll give you a farewell feast!"

The company had two hours of rest time at noon. It was enough for them to have a meal together.

Ning Xia looked at the time. It was already 12 o'clock. She hesitated for a moment before knocking at the office door. She wondered if President Pei would have any objections since she hadn't done anything that morning.

"Enter."

Shen Heng saw Pei Yichen's gaze and responded at once.

"President Pei, um, it's time for lunch. Can I go and eat?"

Previously, in the department, when it was time for lunch, Ning Xia didn't need to report to her boss. But now, there were only three people in the office, so if she didn't report it, she was afraid of what could happen.

Pei Yichen raised his eyebrows. There was a small monitor in the CEO's office. Pei Yichen could hear and see Ning Xia's every word and action, so he knew what she was going to do.
