Wu's assistant pushed open the office door with a file in his arms and saw Pei Muxuan standing still in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring out the window with his dark eyes, as if he was lost in thought.

  During this time, he often saw the big boss in such a state, as if his whole person had lost his soul.

  He had only seen him like this three years ago, when he was just following him to do things, so he didn't know much about his affairs. He only knew that his big boss had excellent work ability, had real power and charisma, and was completely different from those second-generation rich kids who relied on their family's wealth and influence.

  Following such a boss, he is naturally honored and very proud.

  Sometimes, he would sit in his large office, staring at the ring around his neck for hours on end, surrounded by a thick layer of sorrow that couldn't be shaken off.

  The first time he saw him like this, his eyes were filled with incredulity, and he couldn't imagine that Pei Muyan, who was young and promising in the eyes of others, would also have such a sad and difficult side.

  He couldn't figure it out, what could stump this genius, until later he heard him speak the truth after a few drinks.

  Originally... no matter how powerful a person is, they will always find it hard to get over an emotional hurdle.

  Three years later, the big boss returned to his home country and reunited with the woman of his life. They got married, and he thought everything would get better from then on. However, after getting married, he didn't feel as happy and fulfilled as he had imagined. His relationship with his wife remained tense all along, and just when it seemed like things were easing up a bit recently, the big boss went to city A and returned to his old self - or rather, even worse than before.

  Wu's assistant couldn't help but sigh again. The number of times he had sighed this week was more than the total number of times he had sighed in the past three years!

  Wu's assistant walked into the office, put the file on the table, looked at Pei Mu Nian's back, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke softly, "Director Pei, Mrs. is still waiting for you downstairs, she has been waiting for several hours..."

  Pei Muniyan slightly turned his face, and his dark eyes coldly looked over at Assistant Wu.

  Wu's assistant's heart involuntarily skipped a beat, but she gritted her teeth and continued to speak, "Director Pei, I think that between husband and wife, having conflicts is a very normal thing. If there's something unhappy or some misunderstanding, if everyone faces it together and talks it through clearly, then it's no big deal. But if you keep bottling it up, not saying anything, this life will be unbearable, won't it?"

  As soon as Assistant Wu finished speaking, Pei Muxian directly let out a cold snort. He turned around, looked at him, and spoke in a neither hot nor cold tone, "Assistant Wu, when did you switch careers and become an emotional analysis expert?"

  "This... Director Pei, didn't I see that Mrs. Xiao was very sincere? She's been calling every day for a week now, and even reminded you to take care of your body. I think Mrs. Xiao still cares about you..."

  However, Assistant Wu did not know which sentence he said was wrong. Pei Mu Nian's face suddenly sank, and his voice seemed to be hiding ice, "Get out!"

  Wu's assistant immediately shut his mouth and didn't dare say another word.

  He walked out of the office with his front foot and then heard a loud noise inside the office, as if something had been violently overturned.
