Xia Ling really hid from Pei Ziheng.
For a few days, she never stepped out of Xia Yu's guest room. For her meals, she resorted to room service to avoid any chance of meeting Pei Ziheng. When she really could not tolerate the boredom, she would wait till he was out for work to sneak out for a walk. She even went so far as to plan her routes in the opposite direction of his.
Pei Ziheng became frustrated at not seeing her.
He did not actively look for her, but he was upset about it. His subordinates were engulfed in the depressing environment because of his emotions. They were very cautious of their actions, afraid that they would annoy their Big Boss accidentally.
Only Chu Chen could roughly guess why he was so unhappy.
