The white fog in the dream dissipated, and the figures of her family appeared before her.

Cen Pan told her grandmother about her doubts and said that she wanted to find the mother of the child and ask her about it.

Grandma, who doted on Cen Pan, naturally agreed.

Cen Pan slept all the way until the next morning. She finished her breakfast in cold silence. Without waiting for Ye Xiao, she drove away from the garage.

As soon as she arrived at the office, she received everyone’s strange looks.

Cen Pan suddenly had an ominous feeling.

Under her careful investigation, she finally saw some information in the newspaper in the employee’s hand.

In just one day, the news that Ye Xiao had an illegitimate son had spread throughout the entire A City.

Looking at the newspaper in her hand, Cen Pan’s pretty face froze. Everything had happened too quickly.

A clue flashed across her mind. Before she could think about it, she found out that the company’s higher-ups had started an emergency meeting. Something seemed to have happened.

At this moment, in the conference room of the higher-ups.

“President Ye, as the legal representative of the company, the news of you being exposed has severely affected the company’s image. Therefore, on behalf of the company’s directors, I hope that President Ye can temporarily give up your position and return to the company after you settle your family matters.”

Li Zedong, who had always disliked Ye Xiao’s way of doing things, was the first to cause trouble. He slammed the newspaper on the table and forced Ye Xiao to give up his position.

Ye Xiao, who was at the center of the scandal, was staring at the pen in front of him in a daze. He was thinking about how to make Cen Pan’s anger subside.

He had no choice but to turn around and look at the man in front of him unhappily.

“What if I say no?” He, his eyes full of contempt for Li Zedong, crossed his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly. “It’s not your place to interfere in my matters.”

Ye Xiao’s contemptuous attitude completely angered Li Zedong, and he said ruthlessly, “Three days later, the company will announce to the public that the legal representative will be removed from office. If you don’t come, it means that you’re giving up your position as the legal representative.”

However, Ye Xiao could not be bothered with him anymore. He stood up and left, leaving behind the old directors with ashen expressions.

News of the meeting quickly spread among the employees.

Cen Pan, who received the news, fell into deep thought.

Yesterday, the woman had just brought the child over, and today, this matter was already on the news. Before the Ye Corporation’s public relations realized it, it had spread throughout City A.

It would be impossible for her to believe that no one had deliberately pushed the issue.

However, all of this happened too suddenly. There was no way to investigate.

Now, she could only look forward to the results of Grandma’s investigation.

Cen Pan suppressed her worries until she got off work. Just as she walked out of the company, she saw Ye Xiao’s Rolls Royce parked at the entrance.

“Pan Pan, come home with me.”

Ye Xiao, who was wearing a black suit, opened the car door and stood quietly by the door while waiting for Cen Pan to enter.

It was the peak hour after work, and there were a few people who were watching.

They were all guessing if the rumored illegitimate child incident was real.

Cen Pan bit her lower lip and sat down.

The glass of the car, which was very well kept secret, blocked the view outside. An engine sounded, and the car left with a roar.

Although she had entered the car, Cen Pan still felt upset, so she sat close to the window. Her expression was cold as she quickly thought about the entire process.

Little did she know that Ye Xiao was staring at her in a daze.

His woman was always so beautiful.

However, compared to how cold she was right now, he preferred the way she looked on the bed.

When he thought about how beautiful it was to see a woman naked in front of him, Ye Xiao’s lower body stiffened.

Ye Xiao’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he suppressed the agitation in his heart.

If he was not afraid that Cen Pan would kick him again in a fit of anger, he would have pounced on her..
