Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

Is the problem truly with this bowl of porridge?

He lowered his head to sniff the seafood porridge. There’s no problem with it…

Thinking that he wanted to have that bowl of porridge when she spotted his actions, Pei Ge hastily stopped him. “I already said that it has gone bad so don’t drink it!”

“Okay.”

At this, Ji Ziming put down the porridge and set his worry and confusion aside.

Maybe… I am thinking too much.

After casting this problem aside, he accompanied her for breakfast and then drove back to his office.

Only after he had left did the woman finally recall that she had something to ask him!

“Pei Ge, your brain is really just for show!” She frustratedly knocked herself on the head.

She was intending to grill him about whether he had truly helped her second aunt get out of prison or not.

Although she did not really believe it, she still felt that she needed to find out the truth.

Plus, yesterday, when he was at the hospital with Qiao Jingyun, she failed to ask him about that, too.

In the end, she did not manage to ask him anything before he left.

“When that annoying fellow comes back, you must properly interrogate him!” She muttered under her breath and then went to the adjacent room to accompany her mother.

“Nurse Li, I can take over from here; you should go take a rest.”

She smiled at the nurse who had been carefully taking care of her mother.

“That can’t do! It is my duty to take care of your mother. I am paid to do this.” The nurse shook her head and smilingly rejected her suggestion.

“It’s fine. I also have some things to tell mom.”

Since she had already put it this way, the nurse could only nod and express her understanding. “Oh! I got it. Miss actually wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with her mom! I’ll leave you two alone, then!”

With that, the nurse left the spacious VIP ward to the pair of mother and daughter.

“Mom, it’s time to wake up. How are you going to see your daughter get married and have kids if you don’t wake up?” She jokingly told her mother once the nurse was gone.

“Also, you said it yourself: My fiancé is so handsome and many women will try to snatch him. See? If you don’t wake up soon, I won’t be able to marry such a handsome man. As long as I’m not his official wife, there will still be countless women coming after him, so… can you hurry and wake up…”

She leaned her head against her mother’s shoulder, acting cutesy as she did when her mother was not in coma.

“So please wake up! Pretty please… I still want to wear that beautiful wedding gown for you to see…” She kept muttering this into her mother’s ears with a sad smile.

However, this warm atmosphere between them was soon interrupted by an unwelcome guest.

Knock, knock, knock!

Before she could say anything to the person knocking at the door, the person had already pushed it open.

“Who’s that?”

As the ward was the room furthest from the door, she could only hear the door opening and not the person entering.

“It’s me.”

At first, the person did not speak. She only spoke when she appeared in Pei Ge’s line of sight.

Seeing Qiao Jingyun in a plain white dress and coat and looking very… elegant and… pregnant… her heart skipped a beat as she felt a foreboding.

Why is this woman here?

She could not help her eyes from drifting to her belly. Spotting the woman’s hands on it, she looked more and more like a pregnant lady.

“What are you doing here?”

She frowned tightly with a guarded look.

For some reason, she felt that nothing good ever happened when this woman was around.

“I…” The woman pursed her lips with a conflicted and hesitant expression.

“If you have no business, then please leave immediately!”

Her hypocritical expression angered her, and she glared coldly at the woman while pointing at the door.

“I am pregnant with Ji Ziming’s child.”

In that instant, all the conflict and worry on the woman’s face instantly disappeared and was replaced by a smug expression.

Her words caused Pei Ge’s expression to freeze. After a short pause, she returned to herself.

“…I know you like him. To be honest, it is truly quite a huge deal for you and my cousin to collaborate in lying to me. It’s too bad that I don’t believe it!”

She scoffed with a cold glare.

“I’m not lying to you. Why should I? Hur hur. Don’t overestimate yourself. What do you think he will like in you when you are like this? You are so confident.”

The woman smirked at her disbelief and looked at her spitefully.

“I’ve been with him since we were very young. We can be considered as childhood sweethearts. He said that he likes me and will marry me when we grow up.”

As she said this, she took a seat on the sofa nearby.

“You understand him. He is someone who practices what he says and will never go against his promises. It’s just a pity that his parents don’t like me, and because of something wrong that I did once, they chased me out of the country and didn’t let come back—”

“Stop. I’ve already heard this story from Pei Shishi. It’s such a bad story, so you don’t need to repeat it for me.”

Pei Ge lightly snorted before she regarded the other with a cold look, seemingly not believing any of her words.

“Here! This is my pregnancy test report. Look whose signature is at the bottom.”

Seeing that she did not believe her, the woman immediately took out her pregnancy test report.

“You used to be his secretary, so you should be able to recognize his signature, right?”
