Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

“What do you think? Do you agree with it? It’s the price for us making up.”

Ji Ziming cocked his eyebrow slightly as the gaze he looked at his daughter turned slightly teasing.

“Fine. Anyway, it’s your loss; one day, you’ll beg me to marry you. Hmph! One should learn to wait for the right chance to seek revenge.”

Ran Ran blinked her eyes, the tears in them quickly disappearing. Their fight had not even ended, yet she was already being forced to ‘divorce’.

“Okay, I’m done eating. Let’s go now.”

Pei Ge retracted her hand from the man’s. She could still feel the soft kiss he had planted on the back of her hand. As long as the father-daughter pair patched things up, all other problems were inconsequential.

“Go? Where are you guys going?”

Upon hearing her words, Madam Ji, who was sitting at the side, quickly asked that question. Her eyes teemed with confusion as she regarded the other.

“Mom, we are off to find Tang Xiaoyu.”

Her son stood up and spoke before Pei Ge could.

“Oh, so it’s to find that lady. Where are you guys going to look for her? Do you have any leads to her whereabouts already? Are you able to get in contact with her? Where is she now? Did you guys check on everything?”

She threw a barrage of questions, of which only a few could be answered by her son. Standing behind him, Pei Ge was even more speechless. They were planning to bring Ji Chi to see Dr. Joe today. With the farce that happened yesterday, she could only bring the boy over now. As for her best friend, she had already asked all her friends over for help in locating her. They were just awaiting news.

“Mom, you should go back and rest; I will be here to take care of things.”

The man answered in the end. In fact, he already knew what was up about Tang Xiaoyu, but he just could not tell his woman yet, for his priority was on his son. Since Gu Zhengrong told them that the lady had left on her accord, they could eliminate the possibility of being held by someone against her will.

“What is the point of having you here? I’ll help you guys with finding the lady. In any case, your dad is here in the US. He’s having lunch with his old pals for lunch as they play golf, and among the kids of those people, there must be someone in the police force, and even if there isn’t, it’s unlikely that our family can’t afford to hire a private investigator. The people under you are all experienced in identifying spies in companies and investigating anomalies. As for finding missing people, they might not be as adept as I am.”

The man’s mother was very confident. She had once helped one of her friends find the mistress her husband had been keeping using her methods. She was able to catch the littlest clues. Thus, compared to his subordinates, she could truly be better at locating people.

“Alright, then. Thank you, mom. I’ll leave finding Tang Xiaoyu to you.”

He nodded. Since his mother wanted to help them, why not?

“Okay, leave it to me. Since you guys are leaving, I won’t be staying here, too. Your dad told me to return early to join him with his friends.”

She stood up. Her elegant, knee-length dress showcased her decent figure. Even her hand, of which one was adorned with a pearl bracelet, were white and slender and did not lose out to Pei Ge’s.

“Remember to rest properly once you reach home, auntie.”

Pei Ge was grateful to the older woman for being willing to help. She was now more confident of finding her best friend.

“Okay. I’ll let your mom know before I leave.”

Carrying her Hermes handbag, she knocked at the kitchen door. Zhang Manhua opened it and bade her farewell simply but friendlily. She even invited her to visit again casually.

“I’m leaving now. I will leave all my grandkids to you.”

Madam Ji expressed her worry for her grandchildren. In China, other than Qu Jingwan, the three children were the ones who had accompanied her most of the time.

“Don’t worry; I will take proper care of them. They’re all my grandkids, too.”

The other woman was merely being polite, but what she spoke was the truth.

“That’s great; that’s great. I’ll get going, then, or I won’t make it to this afternoon’s get-together.”

Her eyes curled into a smile, making her look friendly and kind. She felt that the other woman was no simple woman but a madam from a rather rich family, instead.

“Sure. I won’t be sending you off as I’m still cooking something in here.”

Zhang Manhua turned to look at the pot behind her, which was already steaming. If no one monitored it, it would likely burn.

“No need; no need. You should continue with your task. I’ll leave by myself.”

Madam Ji walked back to the dining area after saying this, then left by the door alone after bidding goodbye to the couple.

Upon stepping out of the door, she could not help but feel a little sad. Her only son had his children now, yet they only wanted to stay with Zhang Manhua. Even her granddaughter, who had been rather affectionate with her in the beginning, also chose to stay here. She could not help but start doubting whether there was a difference between a huge house and small house.

She used to think that a bigger house was more comfortable. Now, she felt that the degree of comfort had nothing to do with a house’s size. It was more important for a family to be together, as well as have a peaceful life.

Ji Ziming waited for his mother’s car to leave his sight before he turned to look at Pei Ge with his deep-set eyes. “She’s gone. Let’s bring the three children to look for Joe today.”

“Okay. Is he at the hospital now? I heard Cherrie mentioning that he rushed back here for your sake and might be leaving in a day or two.”

Pei Ge was a little worried. If the doctor was not at the hospital or he had already left for England, then there would be another thing to worry about on top of their son’s illness.

“Don’t worry; if he is not present, I will make the hospital’s ownership be transferred to me. Then, I will tell him that this hospital is no longer his.”

His eyes sparkled yet became gentle again when they landed on her.

“Okay. I’m just afraid of him leaving after saying all those things about our son yesterday. I would understand it if he was just lying to me then.”
