There was still some warmth left on Ye Xiao’s palm. He gently rubbed his fingers and felt the softness.

Cen Pan ran all the way into the office. Her breathing was labored, and it was unclear whether it was because she was running too fast or because of the sudden kiss just now. Just as she sat down, a pair of high heels appeared in front of her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Cen Pan looked up and saw an exquisite little face.

“Ms. An, what’s up?”

“Yo, I thought I was seeing things. Isn’t this Ye…”

Cen Pan suddenly stood up, covered her mouth and brought her to the pantry.

“Ms. An, this is my workplace. If there’s nothing important, please leave.”

An Yu flung her hand away and looked at her proudly. God knew how happy An Yu was when she found out that Ye Xiao and Cen Pan had a secret marriage and that Ye Xiao had no intention of standing up for Cen Pan.

She was certain that there was something wrong with their marriage. Ye Xiao definitely didn’t marry her of his own accord!

Last night, An Yu failed to break into the bridal room. Early in the morning, she couldn’t sit still and rushed to the Ye family’s home to stop them.

“Isn’t this Madam Ye? Why didn’t Ye Xiao arrange a more relaxed and promising position for you?”

Cen Pan was wearing the clothes she wore before and looked a lot more plain. As An Yu’s sarcastic voice fell, her expression turned cold.

“I thought you went from rags to riches and climbed up the social ladder. No matter what, you should be sent to and picked up at work. In terms of your attire… you can’t embarrass Ye Xiao.”

An Yu pinched Cen Pan’s clothes with her thumb and index finger as she said with disdain.

Cen Pan sneered and slapped her hand away.

“No matter what I wear, at least I’m open and honest. I’m not like some people who say that they’re from a wealthy family but actually like to climb into other people’s husbands’ beds and try their best to be a mistress.”

“Who are you calling a mistress? Clearly, he and I got to know each other first. We grew up together. Who do you think you are? If you didn’t interfere, we would have been together long ago.”

An Yu’s expression was contorted in anger. She pointed at Cen Pan’s nose and raised her voice as she cursed loudly.

The commotion in the pantry attracted a few people. Cen Pan looked at the door and glanced at the figure at the door. She raised her hand. “Do you see this? My husband bought this ring for me. What did he give you?”

The people at the door were pointing and gossiping. An Yu felt humiliated and raised her hand angrily.

Cen Pan narrowed her eyes menacingly. She grabbed her wrist and slapped her.

Before An Yu could react, Cen Pan casually picked up a glass of water and splashed it over. She leaned close to her ear and threatened, “If your Ye Xiao sees you behaving atrociously in his company, what will he think of you?”

“Cen Pan, just you wait.” An Yu was like a drenched chicken. She gritted her teeth and warned Cen Pan fiercely.

When she reached the door, she stopped in her tracks. “What are you all looking at? Go to work.”

She was in a bad mood the whole morning. When Cen Pan returned after delivering the documents, there was a cup of milk tea on the table. She looked back.

“This is…”

“Xiao Die received a bonus this month and bought afternoon tea for everyone.” The colleague opposite her put down the work in his hands, then looked up and casually explained.

Cen Pan shook the milk tea in her hand and took out a straw to poke it open angrily before before taking a few sips.

Xiao Die, who was hiding in the pantry, sent a message: “The matter is settled.”
