Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

Click!

After opening the door, she took off her shoes and her bulky outercoat. She then changed into her indoor slippers and walked into the living room.

She turned on all the lights but still found the room to be desolate.

Suddenly, she thought that days without Ji Ziming were colder than the coldest winter.

“Sigh!”

Since she was unable to clinch the huge project this time, she was also unable to return to the man’s side in the capital earlier.

“How unlucky! Why did Zhou Zhuoyang, that a*shole, have to appear here?” she muttered, feeling stifled. Just as she was cursing her ex-boyfriend inside, her phone rang.

Fishing out her phone, she felt joy upon seeing the caller ID on display.

Without delaying for a second, she answered the call.

“Hello, Ziming! Are you missing me already? Is that why you called?”

The moment the line connected, she felt that the entire room had become much warmer.

“Mhm.”

The man’s low and clear voice, tinged with gentleness, came through the receiver.

Hearing him hum, her entire heart seemed to melt.

She wanted to grumble about what had just happened but voted against it upon hearing his voice. She did not want to waste their precious time talking about such things.

“I miss you, too!” she confessed. Her lips had a gentle smile.

“I miss you more...”

After exchanging bouts of sickeningly sweet little nothings, she then started complaining to him.

“Sigh! Ziming, I may be unable to go back early.”

“What’s wrong?”

“A strong competitor popped out of nowhere for my big project; I think I won’t be able to clinch it,” she muttered, depressed.

“It’s fine,” he gently consoled.

“How is this fine? I can’t return to Beijing early and be with you!” she indignantly complained, feeling resentful.

She inwardly cursed her ex-boyfriend for another round.

“After I’m done with work here, I will go to see you in Tianjin.” The man did not take this issue to heart but merely mentioned his plan lightly.

“No need. You should properly stay at your company! Even if this project isn’t successful, I still have others. Don’t come over; it’s just extended by a few days...”

“Okay. I’ll listen to you...”

The two hugged their phones and started their long yet sweet conversation.

Unbeknown to the two, the man’s mother was listening to their phone talk.

She carefully leaned against the wall and listened to her son’s voice as he chatted with his girlfriend on the phone. As she listened, she started scolded her husband inside.

Wanting to express the anger in her heart, she charged into the study room to settle this debt with the man.

“Hubby, what’s wrong with you?! I thought that you had already acknowledged Ge Ge’s capabilities?! How come she’s still in Tianjin?! Don’t you know that long-distance relationship is risky?!”

The moment she stepped inside, she angrily berated her husband.

The man was presently reading a book. When his wife angrily charged in, he looked up at her.

“What’s wrong?”

“What ‘what’s wrong’?! You’re not even thinking for our son and Ge Ge! They only started dating, yet you still dared to separate them. What are you doing if not splitting apart a fated couple?! Moments ago, I heard the two talking on the phone and felt heartache for them.”

She walked to the front of his desk and snatched away the book in his hands.

“Wait a while more. Pei Ge is doing very well at Jiaheng. She should be able to return soon based on her abilities.”

He remained indifferent to this, alas.

She was immediately made enraged by her husband’s lack of concern.

“Wait still? When do you want her to wait until?! That Qiao Jingyun is back, and it’s not like you don’t know her thoughts; I’m scared that if we wait longer, she’ll end up taking Ge Ge’s place!”

“Dear, you’re overthinking things. Even if you don’t have confidence in Pei Ge, you should still have confidence in Ziming. Our son isn’t that type of person. To him, his benefactor is nothing.”

He disdainfully snorted, clearly not putting much importance to Qiao Jingyun.

“While that’s true and I have confidence in our son, I still feel a little uneasy. That woman has too many despicable tricks up her sleeve. How old was she three years ago, yet she still managed to ruin a girl’s chastity and life? I’m afraid...”

As she said this, a deep worry surfaced on her face.

“... I’m afraid that she’ll use her moves against Ge Ge.”

The man frowned at his wife’s words.

“Do you still remember that girl from back then?” she suddenly asked.

“Slightly.” He nodded.

“That girl is also very pitiful. She should be overseas now.”

“Mhm.”

“It’s a pity that we don’t know who she is. Otherwise, we can at least take care of her...”

...

Early in the morning of the next day, Pei Ge reached the company in high spirits.

“Morning, ma’am!”

“Morning!”

“Good morning, boss!”

“Morning!”

Once she entered her office, she asked her assistant to bring her the files about the other projects in Tianjin.

Carefully sifting through them, she finally found a project that was not much worse than the one before.

After she found a new target, she quickly ordered all the departments to work on it with their all.

Surprisingly...

“Boss, we got that resort project! The other party just called to tell us that they’ll leave it in our hands! They also said to visit them for the signing of the contract!”

Pei Ge, who was in the middle of making a proposal, was stunned when she heard this.

“What did you just say? We got that project?!”

She looked up in disbelief at her assistant.

“Yes! Now, we don’t have to work so hard on other projects anymore! That resort project is ours!”

Seeing her assistant’s excitement and agitation, she did not reveal any joy but shock instead.

It’s a success? That’s not possible! There must be a reason behind this!
