Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

“CEO Ji, why are you following me?”

Pei Ge halted her footsteps and looked at Ji Ziming with puzzlement.

He, however, merely raised an eyebrow and calmly gave this reply, “I came here to have lunch, too.”

“…” Is that so? She gave him a dubious look before she laughed mirthlessly.

“Hur hur! Is that so? How coincidental—”

She was about to continue speaking when he walked past her and entered Daoxiang Hotel ahead of her.

She looked at his receding back and nudged her lips. “Who knows whether he’s telling the truth or not…” Why didn’t he mention anything about having lunch at Daoxiang Hotel too when I was in his car a while ago?

Asking this question inwardly, she proceeded to walk into the hotel.

“Welcome, sir. Do you have a reservation?”

Once the two stepped into the extravagant hotel, a few hostesses greeted him while they left her unattended at the side.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. He is indeed tall, rich, and handsome. He is treated specially no matter where he goes.

“Sir, do you have a reservation? If you don’t have, then we can still provide…”

She burst into laughter at one of the hostesses’ passionate invitation.

“Puh!” Ha ha ha! Didn’t this annoying fellow say he is here to have lunch? It’s so funny!

Hearing her laugh, he coldly glared at her.

She blinked her eyes innocently in response and then turned her head away with a grin.

“Sir, we still have a private room available. Should I reserve one for you?”

“Mhm,” he coldly hummed his assent.

Upon his assent, the pretty hostess happily smiled and said ingratiatingly, “Let me lead you to it, sir.”

With that, the pretty hostess led him into the elevator under her colleagues’ envious gazes.

“Miss, do you have a reservation?”

Once he was gone from view, someone finally bothered to attend to Pei Ge.

“Oh, yes, I do. It is a private room reserved by a lady with the surname Tang.” She smiled politely. She was currently in a good mood because she had just seen the man’s minor episode of embarrassment.

“Alright. Miss Tang, is it? Please follow me.”

Hence, Pei Ge also followed another hostess into the elevator.

While Daoxiang Hotel was not as grand as the other ones Ji Ziming had brought her before, the food being served here was worth its price tag. Although the items on the menu were not dirt-cheap, they were still affordable.

Hence, this was a hotel Pei Ge and her mother would consider if they were to treat someone.

In fact, Tang Xiaoyu choosing this place to treat her today was partly due to Zhang Manhua’s suggestion.

“Ge Ge, you are finally here! The food would already be served if you were a minute late.”

Pei Ge, who had followed the hostess over to this private room, opened the door and was about to step inside when she heard Tang Xiaoyu’s upbeat voice.

“What can I do? Who told you guys to inform me so late?” She walked in with a wide smile.

The room was not huge and could only accommodate seven people.

However, while the room was not that big, it had excellent furnishings and was not cramped.

Of course, after going to all those high-class places with a certain CEO, she was easily able to distinguish between the cheap and expensive furnishings in the room.

That is why… For the extremely picky Ji Ziming to reserve a dining room here, that is just impossible! Ha ha ha!

“What are you thinking of? Just look at the way your small face is smiling; it’s as if spring has arrived!” Tang Xiaoyu coquettishly blinked at her.

Pei Ge finally regained her senses at her best friend’s teasing. Rolling her eyes at her, she proceeded to sit beside Zhang Manhua.

“You little lassie, Xiaoyu visited the country for you, so you should go sit beside her.”

She had just sat down when her mother booted her out of the seat and subsequently pushed her into Tang Xiaoyu’s direction.

She looked at her mother speechlessly and muttered inside, Is your precious daughter me or my best friend?

“Ha ha! Ge Ge, why aren’t you coming over still? Our mother is clearly rejecting you.” Tang Xiaoyu grinned and hugged Zhang Manhua’s arm while smiling smugly at her.

“Mom, is your precious daughter her or me?” she pretended to feel aggrieved as she complained to her mother.

A grinning Tang Xiaoyu replied for her mother, “Why? Are you jealous that our mom likes me?”

“Alright, alright. You two lasses, stop quarreling in front of me. You guys are too noisy.” Zhang Manhua looked at her ‘two daughters’ and shook her head in resignation.

“He he… I’ll listen to our mom! Ge Ge, hurry and sit over here.” Tang Xiaoyu grinned and waved her over.

She figured that her best friend had something to ask her the moment she saw her act this way.

Thus, she just snorted lightly and then moved from her mother’s side to her best friend’s.

“Hey, I saw you leave this morning in the car of that CEO Ji from yesterday.”

Indeed, once she sat down, her best friend probingly told her this.

She turned to look at her in puzzlement.

“You saw me leave in my boss’s car this morning?”

“Of course. Quickly tell me what your relationship with that CEO Ji is!” her best friend excitedly demanded.

She only rolled her eyes at her, however. “My dear Xiaoyu, if you really saw me get into CEO Ji’s car from the hotel, I would have to cast doubt on your nature.”

“Huh?” Tang Xiaoyu blinked guiltily.

“Hng! Do you think you are clairvoyant and can see me get into CEO Ji’s car from a place far from the hotel? Hurry and fess up; what were you doing this morning?” She kept a neutral expression as she gazed at her best friend’s innocent-looking face.

“He he… What else could I be doing? I was only sleeping in the suite this morning.” Her best friend laughed dryly while looking back at her innocently.

“Is that so?” She gave her a sidelong glance and asked in a tone filled with distrust.

“Alright, I concede. I really didn’t crawl out of bed this morning to keep tabs on you, but it’s not my fault that, shortly after you left, someone came knocking on the room to provide me with some tidbits,” her best friend confessed with a shrug.

“Huh? Who is that person?” She frowned lightly. Before she dug deeper into this, she had a guess on who the person was.

Alright, if I haven’t guessed wrongly, such a lame and gossipy person can only be…
