Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

Melodious music, warm yellow lights, and vintage wine’s aromatic smell… Everything was pleasing to the senses, yet Ji Ziming was frowning.

That thousand-year-slow-moving good is Pei Ge?

“What are you two talking about? Who is a thousand-year-slow-moving good?” Liao Gaofei, who had quietly been sipping his wine, curiously glanced up at Mu Heng.

Mu Heng merely focused his attention on Ji Ziming, though.

“After finding out that Pei Shishi, that woman, is actually Pei Ge’s cousin, it came to me that Pei Ge is actually that woman we saw having a blind date at Blues Coffee!” Mu Heng excitedly exclaimed with twinkling eyes. “That is so coincidental, isn’t it?!”

Ji Ziming frowned and thought for a long while before finally recalling that silhouette he had almost forgotten about.

The only reason he managed to recall that almost-forgotten silhouette was that her back posture was still as straight as a pen even now.

That woman is actually her? It is indeed in her personality to do something like that,Ji Ziming muttered inwardly.

“What are you two talking about? I don’t get any of it at all.” Liao Gaofei could not wrap his head around the duo’s conversation.

“Shoo, shoo, shoo! Go play at the side. I have important things to discuss with Ziming.” Mu Heng waved him away, as though he were a pesky fly.

Liao Gaofei rolled his eyes and thought inwardly, If it’s not for me wanting to know about Ziming’s scandal, do you think I’ll deign to listen to you two’s conversation at all?

“The girl that Ziming likes is Pei Shishi’s cousin?” Liao Gaofei blinked his eyes and asked about the only bit of information he understood from the two’s conversation.

“Pei Shishi?” Fu Mingxuan, who had also been quietly sipping his wine, frowned at Mu Heng and Ji Ziming. “That woman isn’t a good person. Ziming, if you plan to get together with her cousin, you should come clean about Pei Shishi’s past deeds. In the event that…”

Fu Mingxuan did not go further than necessary, but despite him not saying it explicitly, all the men present knew what he was getting at.

“I really didn’t expect for that spendthrift princess, who left in such a manner that year, to actually show up in this way,” Liao Gaofei remarked disdainfully as he tugged at his lips.

“You still have the face to say that? If it weren’t for you getting scammed by that woman, do you think it would be possible for Pei Shishi to enter our circle?” Mu Heng lightly harrumphed. He only recalled now that that problematic woman was introduced into their group by this stupid Liao Gaofei.

“Yes, yes, yes. Blame it on me…” Liao Gaofei glared back at him. However, thinking about it now, he was indeed the root cause of that incident, so he could only complain about it like this.

Who would have guessed that those two women were experts at putting up a façade, anyway?

F*ck! Come to think of it; I, the mighty Second Young Master Liao, was actually used by a woman. How depressing! It really is my dark history for life!

“Ziming, I think Little Chili doesn’t know of her cousin’s true colors and is, instead, pretty chummy with her. I think it’s best if you warn her about that woman.” Mu Heng’s eyes crinkled at the corner at the thought of Pei Ge’s colorful makeup. “I even suspect that Pei Shishi has something to do with that company’s forum thread.”

Ji Ziming’s face darkened when Mu Heng shared his suspicions about Pei Shishi’s involvement in that thread.

“What thread? What kind of antics is Pei Shishi up to this time? I really think she is a talent. Does she really think we won’t do anything to her just because she’s a woman? Pui!” Liao Gaofei lightly harrumphed. He truly abhorred that woman for making him second to Mu Heng.

“So you do know that she’s a talent. The one you liked back then is a talent, too. How else would she be able to get together with you otherwise?” Mu Heng could not help but diss him again.

“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t hit people in the face and don’t point out people’s flaws in an argument! Stop talking about me like that at every chance you get…”

The two squabbling people at the side did not bother Ji Ziming, as his attention right now was on Pei Ge alone.

Mu Heng’s words, for some unknown reason, filled his mind with Pei Ge’s aggrieved look from that day.

Ji Ziming’s palm tightened around his wine glass as he pursed his lips, feeling inexplicably frustrated.

He raised his hand and lightly swirled his glass. Following this swirling motion, the fragrant smell of the brick-red wine wafted out from the glass.

Ji Ziming smelled the vintage wine’s aroma and elegantly sipped it. He would always feel great every time he drank this particular wine, yet his feeling was far from great this time.

The alcohol in his throat was still as velvety as ever, but he was not in the mood to drink the wine tonight.

Putting down the glass of red wine in his hand, he loosened his tie in annoyance and leaned on the sofa lazily.

When he saw the look of frustration on Ji Ziming’s face, Liao Gaofei stopped his squabbling with Mu Heng and softly asked, “Don’t tell me that a woman is the cause of Ziming acting like that?”

Peering at Liao Gaofei and seeing the interested expression on Fu Mingxuan’s face beside him, Mu Heng shrugged helplessly. “Perhaps.”

“It can’t be. What kind of woman can make Ziming reveal such an expression? Other than that time with that person, I have never seen Ziming show so much emotion. My interest is really piqued now.” Liao Gaofei blinked his eyes and showed his curiosity over the matter.

“That woman is indeed interesting…” Mu Heng’s lips curled up as his eyes got filled with mirth.

Actually, he was not the least bit surprised that Ji Ziming would fall for that woman. However, the things he was worried about… were his good friend not knowing his heart and that other woman who had gone overseas…

Forget it. There’s no use thinking about it now. Leave these things for another day… another day.

“Ziming, are you leaving already?”

Just as the three were whispering about Ji Ziming, he suddenly stood up from the sofa.

“Yes.” Giving them a light glance, he replied coolly.

“But you’ve only drunk a cup of this wine.” Mu Heng widened his eyes in astonishment. This was Ji Ziming’s favorite wine!

He specially took out this bottle of topnotch wine because he saw him not being in a good mood, yet he only drank a glass of it in the end!

Damn it. How much does he care for Little Chili that he is even willing to forgo drinking his favorite wine?

“I’m not in the mood, so I’ll be off first.” Ji Ziming shifted his gaze away and strode out of the private room in large strides after saying this. The three who remained could only exchange glances with one another as they held their wine glasses.

With that mild fragrance of wine on his body, Ji Ziming drove back home. Although it was already past midnight, many pedestrians were still on the street.

Suddenly, he, who was not paying much attention to his surroundings, spotted something and focused his gaze on it.

A petite and beautiful silhouette appeared in his line of sight and attracted all of his attention.

Screech! He subconsciously hit the brakes and the car promptly stopped.
