Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

right now.

She raised her hand to look at her injured finger that was now wrapped with the plaster, and a gentle smile uncontrollably formed on her mouth.

If only this annoying fellow doesn’t keep changing attitude and just remains ‘kind’, then it won’t be that bad!

She looked at the beige plaster on her finger and her lips curled upward.

“… Thank you,” she squeezed out words of gratitude after a long pause.

He raised an eyebrow at her grateful words and then wordlessly got up off the sofa.

“Mhm.” He slowly strode toward his desk and sat back down to peruse the same files he had been looking at a while ago.

Noticing his nonchalance, she put some effort into calming the rapid beating of her heart.

“CEO Ji, can I leave now?” She got up off the sofa as well and smiled at him.

“You can go out now.” He raised his head and peered at her.

She nodded at him and turned to leave.
She brought the broom and dustpan with her when she walked out of his office.

The moment she left his office, she sucked in a deep breath.

Pei Ge, stop flattering yourself.

After telling herself this, she returned the cleaning tools to where she had taken them and went back to her workstation.

“Yo! It’s no wonder a certain someone dared to be late.”

She heard Lu Huiya’s mocking the moment she entered the CEO Secretariat.

She did not bother with the other’s ridiculing and just settled on her seat once more.
Without showing any indication that she had heard her, she calmly flipped open the document in her hand.

Since she did not give her any reaction, Lu Huiya probably felt that it was not worth pursuing the matter and, after muttering something, fell silent.

The morning passed by in a blur and it was soon noon.

Pei Ge was originally intending to have lunch with Pan Xinlei and Qin Qitong at the company’s cafeteria, but a sudden phone call made her change her eating location.

“Sister Ge Ge, why are you not having lunch with us? Could it be that you are going on a date with your boyfriend?” Qin Qitong grinned as she posed this question.

Once she had made her relationship with Ji Ziming clear to Qin Qitong, although the latter felt slightly regretful that she would not become her cousin-in-law, their relationship was not affected in the least.

“What nonsense are you spouting? Didn’t I tell you yesterday that my longtime best friend is back? I’m having lunch with her today.” She cast the gossipy Qin Qitong an amused look.

“Tsk.
That best friend again…” The other unhappily pursed her lips.

After bidding Qin Qitong and Pan Xinlei goodbye, she picked up her handbag and quickly left the company building.

Reaching the bus stop by the building, she was about to flag down a taxi to head to her and Tang Xiaoyu’s agreed-on meeting place when an extremely familiar car stopped before her.

She blinked in puzzlement at the black Maybach before her.

Although its tinted windows were not rolled down and one could not see inside the car, she could still tell with certainty that the one driving the car was Ji Ziming.

“Wow! What an expensive car!”

“Why did it stop here? Is the driver picking someone up?”

The car window slowly rolled down under the onlookers’ murmurings at the bus stop.

As she had guessed, the person driving the car was none other than the man.

“CEO Ji?” While she already expected it, she still thought that it was a little strange. Why did this annoying fellow appear before me again?

“Get in,” he calmly ordered, seemingly not noticing her confusion.

“Huh? Oh.” She was momentarily frozen from shock but quickly regained her composure.

She coolly got into his car under the onlookers’ shocked and disbelieving looks.

Having experienced the same thing in the morning, she directly moved to sit in the passenger seat.

Pak!

Once she shut the door, she turned to look at him with puzzlement.

“CEO Ji, are you sending me again?” Not understanding his intention, she continued to look at him perplexedly.

If he doesn’t like me, then why does he treat me differently? If he likes me… Hur hur! Why does he treat me critically and cynically sometimes? I really don’t know what to say about this.

“Where are you going?” he did not answer her question but only asked straightforwardly.

“Oh, Daoxiang Hotel,” she informed him of her and Tang Xiaoyu’s meeting place.

“What are you going to do there?”

She speechlessly rolled her eyes at his question.

“Of course, it’s to have lunch.”

“Who are you having lunch with?” he coldly interrogated.

“… CEO Ji, did you have a change of profession and is now a policeman? Why does it sound as if you’re interrogating a criminal right now?” She exasperatedly pouted at his ridiculous questioning.

The car ambiance tensed once she asked these sarcastic questions.

She caught his dark expression yet did not know what she had said wrongly to provoke this CEO’s anger again.

Fine! Next time, I’ll make sure to steer clear when I see this car.

The car fell silent because of her questions.
The man did not continue his questioning, which resembled the police’s background check, of her.

He only gripped the steering wheel tightly and stared straight ahead.

“You actually know who I’m going to have lunch with.
It’s my best friend who was with me at Hotel Vista last night.” Pondering on it for a while, she decided to explain.

“Oh.” After a pregnant pause, he nodded and appeared unconcerned with her answer.

Still, at her words, the tension pervading the air inside the car slowly dissipated.

She was clueless as to why he would send her to the hotel but did not bother to ask him.
Her current mentality was that the lesser one spoke, the fewer mistakes one would make.

This was also to prevent her from saying anything that would unknowingly offend the man and make him show her another black face.

The car finally reached Daoxiang Hotel amid this silence.

She quickly unbuckled her seatbelt once the car stopped.

CEO Ji, thank you for sending me over,” she smilingly thanked him and then opened the car door.

She, who had gotten off his Maybach and was about to enter the hotel, saw him pass the car to a valet and follow her.

She blinked in confusion and asked inwardly, What does this annoying fellow want again?

“CEO Ji, why are you following me?”
