Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

“Hello…”

After the call got through, Pei Ge did not even realize the strong sense of hurt and helplessness in her voice.

“Where are you?”

Ji Ziming’s clear and low voice drifted into her ears, making her feel even worse.

“Are you really concerned about my whereabouts?”

Sniffing, she forced her tears back and spoke with a crying voice.

It seemed that the man was surprised by her question as he only answered after a while.

“…Are you all right?”

“I’m all right, and the person who’s not all right is you.”

She took a deep breath and, in that brief moment, wanted to say everything that she knew.

However, whenever the words were about to spill from her mouth, her throat would… constrict.

The moment she thought of the fact that everything between them would vanish when she spoke, her heart would feel excruciating pain as if it were being deeply pierced by a knife.

“Pei Ge, where are you right now?” The man seemed to have sensed that something was off with her as he quickly asked this.

“You don’t have to care!” She scoffed and stood up.

Who knew that because she had been squatting for too long, her legs had gone numb, so she fell back to the ground the moment she stood up?

“Ah!”

She let out a yelp as she fell flat on the ground and hurt herself.

Hearing her shriek, the man’s voice became filled with urgency.

“Pei Ge! Are you okay?”

The urgency in his voice made the woman, who did not feel much pain from the fall, cry while sitting on the ground.

“You’re asking if I’m okay… if I’m okay—do you know how hurtful you are?!” she cried out, appearing very pathetic.

“Pei Ge, where are you? I’m going over to pick you up.”

The man sounded very anxious like never before.

Even when the company had projects worth over billions, he had never been this anxious.

“I don’t know where I am, and even if I do, I will never let a jerk like you pick me up!” She cried piteously over the phone before hanging up.

“Who needs that jerk to pick me up?! Who needs that annoying fellow to pick me up?! You obviously don’t like me and even got together with another girl so what are you pretending…” She grumbled between her sobs.

Eventually, she felt tired and raised her arm to clean her face with her sleeve before getting up.

The surroundings were dark by now, and there was no soul in sight. This got her feeling terrified.

She turned on her phone to call a taxi, but a red sports car drove toward her at this point.

The sports car was very eye-catching with its bright color, and it got her wondering if it there was a car racing club nearby due to this road being deserted all the time.

The speed of the car was about the same as that of a motor car!

Judging from how fast it was going, the car had exceeded the speed limit by a lot!

Seeing the car driving at breakneck speed, she quickly shuttled herself to the grass patch.

She had better steer away from the road in case the speeding driver was drunk and hit her accidentally.

As she was busy thinking of this, she did not realize that the car had stopped beside her.

Screech!

The car made a loud, screeching sound when it stopped because of how fast it was going just then.

She did not bother with this loud braking, though, as her mind was on the driver driving this eye-catching car.

From the transparent glass window, she could see the face of the man in the driver’s seat.

“J-Ji—” Ziming?!

Before she could fully pronounce the name of this man whom she loved and hated, she saw the doors of this eye-catching sports car opened, just like a pair of wings preparing to take off.

Clack!

A pair of black leather shoes appeared before her eyes.

She looked at the man who was getting out of the car slowly.

Although his dark-blue suit did not match this overly eye-catching sports car, nobody would have the same thought once they saw his face.

They would even think that a driver, who drove such an uncultured sports car, should be dressed like an elite!

“…”

When she saw him, all the words in her mind evaporated.

Despite clearly having a lot of questions to ask him, she could not say a word when he finally appeared before her.

She stared at him silently with tears in her eyes as though she had a lot of grievances.

Seeing her eyes filled with tears as she looked at him, the man felt his heart melt.

Without a word, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

His action was so practiced, so overbearing, and so natural…

Smelling the familiar fragrance and feeling this familiar hug, she let go of everything in that moment as she immersed herself in his arms.

She closed her eyes and quietly lay her head on his chest.

She did not want to think of anything.

The man thought that something was off with this woman today due to him being absent when so many things had happened to her.

He reckoned that she was throwing tantrums with him so he gently apologized to her. “Pei Ge… I’m sorry. It’s my fault this time… I should be with you when you need me the most.”

The low timber of his voice, coupled with his apologetic tone, made anyone listening want to forgive him without thinking.

Unfortunately, this did not include her.

The woman enjoying his embrace with her eyes closed pushed him away without warning.

“Ji Ziming, I’ve told you before that I don’t need your apology.”
