Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

Pei Ge returned to the office after having lunch.

She sat at her desk and stared at the computer screen.

He Yan initially thought that Pei Ge was working on some important documents, but when she passed by her desk on her way to get a cup of coffee, she saw that the latter was actually not doing any serious work and was daydreaming, instead!

“Pei Ge? Pei Ge?” she called out.

“Ah?” Only then did Pei Ge come out of her trance.

“Pei Ge, what’s wrong?” she asked with concern.

Pei Ge shook her head lightly and smiled. “Nothing; I was just thinking of something.”

“Oh.” She did not pry.

She was prudent enough to get that Pei Ge did not want to talk about it, so she smiled politely and merely returned to her seat.

Pei Ge sighed in relief when the other did not ask her to elaborate.

In fact, she, too, did not know what she was thinking of earlier.

“Huuuu!” Stretching her hand and exhaling deeply, she concentrated on her work this time.

Pai, da, pai, da! The sound of her fingers tapping on the keyboard echoed in the office.

The sound was like elegant music and soothed her mood.

The afternoon ended quickly with Pei Ge focusing on her work.

All the way until it was time to get off work, she did not see even a shadow of Ji Ziming in the office.

She slowly packed her things and left the office.

When she passed by the CEO’s office on her way out, she involuntarily halted her footsteps and stared at its door.

Did that annoying person really go on a blind date?

Her imagination was running wild when her phone rang.

Retrieving her phone from her handbag, she became solemn at the caller ID displayed on the screen. She picked up the call.

“Hello, Second Uncle.”

“Ge Ge, I was drunk yesterday; please don’t take my words to heart.” Pei Zhenghui’s voice came through the phone.

“I didn’t; I know you were drunk, so I don’t blame you.” Her grip tightened around the phone as she lightly spoke.

“That’s good; that’s good! I knew you’re the most sensible!” he laughed and said.

His words made her frown slightly.

“Second Uncle, where are you now? Is it a good time? I’d like to discuss things with you,” she said softly.

“No need. You are a good child and don’t have to explain anything to me,” he rejected.

“No, Second Uncle. There are some things that I should explain properly to you,” she insisted.

Her stubbornness seemed to have shocked him as he was rendered speechless.

“Second Uncle, I’m off work now. You should be in the office, right? I’ll find you there.” Without giving him a chance to reject, she hung up and left office.

Some things should be explained clearly. Trouble was bound to come if things were left vague.

With this mindset, she hailed a cab and headed to Pei Family Real Estate’s headquarters.

Though she kept her eyes on the bustling streets outside, she was actually recounting last night’s incident at her second uncle’s villa.

Too many things had happened yesterday, and they were all a blur. She was too emotional and, with a tumultuous heart, did not think things properly.

Today, however, after thinking about yesterday’s incident, she realized that something was wrong with her second uncle and Pei Shishi.

‘Did you do it on purpose?! Did you—’

What ‘on purpose’? What would she do on purpose?

She was unable to guess what he wanted to convey with those words. More importantly, why was her cousin so anxious?

It was as if her cousin were afraid of him spilling the beans.

“What exactly is going on?” She felt she had more questions than answers and was unable to understand yesterday’s incident completely.

Soon, in the middle of her contemplation, the taxi arrived at Pei Family Real Estate’s headquarters.

Once she paid the fare, she alighted from the taxi and entered the company’s lobby.

The interior design of Pei Family Real Estate’s office was very different from Chenguang Real Estate’s. The latter had a minimalistic style, with white as its primary color scheme, yet it did not sacrifice the modern aspect of the design.

In contrast, Pei Family Real Estate’s company building had a grander interior.

Gold and wood were the primary colors used. The lighting and furniture were of more abstract designs.

Hence, Pei Family Real Estate gave off a grand and expensive look.

Thankfully, it did not have that nouveau-riche feel to it. Pei Zhenghui spent a large sum of money on the office building’s initial renovation, after all.

She approached the receptionist desk upon entering the lobby.

“Hello, I’m looking for CEO Pei,” she informed with a smile.

“May I know if you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked friendlily.

“Yes, I’m from the Pei family; your CEO Pei should be aware of my visit,” she confirmed.

“Okay. Please wait a while, Miss Pei.”

“Sure.”

Soon, the receptionist smilingly informed, “Miss Pei, CEO Pei is waiting for you in his office; you can go up now.”

“Alright, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

After a polite conversation with the receptionist, she took the elevator up to Pei Zhenghui’s office.

Since she had been to this side of the company building before, she knew her way around and where to find his office.

Ding! The lift stopped on the floor where his office was located.

She exited the elevator and headed straight to her second uncle’s office.

The building was quiet and had few people in it as it was already after office hours.

Knock, knock! Arriving at the door labeled ‘Office of the CEO’, she politely knocked.

“Come in.” Pei Zhenghui’s voice called out from inside the office.

Pak! She inhaled sharply and collected her emotions before opening the door and entering his office.
