Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

“Ziming, I’m already at the lobby on the first floor. Come down soon! We still have to go home and have dinner with your parents tonight!”

The realization dawned on the Ji Group employees in the lobby.

Oh, so she’s waiting for our CEO to go home and meet his parents!

Miss Qiao is pretty capable for managing to capture our aloof boss!

Before she even left the country, it was already part of her scheme to visit his office often.

Therefore, there were several employees in this company who recognized her.

Even if some did not know her, they were bound to hear about her from senior employees.

“Miss Qiao is an exceptional lady! Our CEO is cold to everyone except her; only she managed to get our boss not to be treated aloofly!”

“Wow! She’s that awesome?”

“Of course! In the whole capital, who doesn’t know that her family’s business is supported by the Ji Group? The average people don’t dare to provoke the Qiao family because they fear its backing.”

“Oh, my gosh! She’s indeed impressive, managing to get our boss to treat her so well!”

“Isn’t it? She probably saved the entire galaxy in her last life to have our CEO for her boyfriend!”

Listening to the whispers in the lobby, the corner of Qiao Jingyun’s lips curled into a smirk.

She enjoyed the most this type of attention where she was envied by many.

Only by being with the man could she enjoy such a privilege.

Therefore…

Her eyes narrowed as an evil glint flashed past them.

Regardless, she must separate Pei Ge and Ji Ziming before they got engaged officially. She needed to send that woman’s world crashing down and make her unable to rise back up!

Soon after, most of the employees in the lobby had left.

After all, to be able to work in this company, these employees were not the typical people but were elite in the industry.

Therefore, despite their curiosity about their boss and Qiao Jingyun’s relationship, they would never stay to look on when they ought to leave.

Quickly, she was the only person left in the lobby.

As time ticked away, the man failed to show up.

Her legs were tired from standing in the lobby. Not seeing the man, she got agitated for a moment.

In the past, he had never made her wait for him for so long!

She looked at the time and saw that an hour had already passed. Her face turned sour as she fished out her phone from the bag.

“Hello, Ziming. Why aren’t you coming down yet? My legs are cramping from standing here!”

The moment the call got through, she suppressed her irritation and complained to him in a cutesy manner.

Who knew that she would almost be angered to death by the man, though?

“Hello… Aren’t you going there by yourself?”

“…” The anger she felt after hearing his uncaring reply almost choked her to death.

“Ji Ziming, you’re being too much! Haven’t I told you clearly that we’re going to your house together? I even said it twice! I listened to you and didn’t go up to your office to bother you. Instead, I’ve been waiting here obediently in the lobby for an hour now.”

“H-How can you do this to me? You’re really being too much! This is too hateful! Even if you already have a girlfriend, how can you do this to me? You said before that you’d take care of me for my entire life! You’ve really gone overboard!”

She sniffled and ambiguously said in a voice full of grievances.

She grew up with the man, so she could understand his personality.

She also knew his character well.

She understood that he was trying to distance himself from her, hoping that her interest in him would die down. At the same time, he did not want Pei Ge to think that they had a close relationship.

Despite this, she knew that, as his benefactor, she still held a special place in his heart.

Therefore, although the man was treating her colder than before, he would never go overboard!

As long as she pretended to be aggrieved, this man, who valued her as his benefactor, would not leave her in the lurch!

No matter what, there still was that deep gratitude he had toward her for saving his life.

Just as what she had expected, the man remained silent for a brief moment after hearing her say that and began packing his belongings.

“… I’m coming down now.”

Once he said that, he hung up the call.

She rejoiced regardless.

This tactic was indeed useful; however, it could not be used frequently. If not, it would lose its effectiveness.

Not long after hanging up the call, the man walked out from the lift and into the lobby.

“Let’s go.”

He glanced at her briefly and said coolly.

“Mhm!”

She was unbothered by his attitude and happily followed him.

Both left the lobby and saw the chauffeur at the entrance, waiting for them to get in the car.

She did not wait for the man to hold the door for her and just opened it herself to get in.

Sitting in the back seat, she did not close the door but shifted further in.

Outside her expectation, the man did not sit in the back with her but closed the door and sat in the passenger seat, instead.

“…”

What kind of CEO actually sits beside a chauffeur?

It became evident that he did not want to sit with her.

She was fuming inside but she could not let her anger show.

She knew that she needed to remain calm, especially at times like this in order to handle him.

“He he, Ziming! Aren’t you being too cautious? Must you keep a distance from me when your girlfriend isn’t even here? Perhaps, did your girlfriend warn you beforehand? Isn’t she being too petty?”

She pretended to be making a joke as she teased him.

“Nope. Pei Ge is really nice; it’s me who prefers it like this.”
