Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 1087
Chapter 1087: How can they compare to her?
“Wait. You two ladies, go ahead; Egger and I have some work to get done.”
Just as the three were excitedly looking for a café, Gu Zhengrong, who was standing at the side, opened his mouth to interrupt.
“Huh?”
The two ladies paused when they heard him.
“You guys still have work? Go deal with it, then; we can make plans next time,” said Pei Ge with a smile, though feeling slightly regretful.
“Er… Since you have something important right now, we can get together next time. In any case, we are all in New York,” mumbled Tang Xiaoyu. She coughed when she noticed the dark expression on her boyfriend’s face.
“…”
Since both ladies had said so, Egger could only shrug and bid them goodbye.
However, just before they separated, he asked for their contact details.
“We’ll make plans next time!”
“Okay.”
As he watched his beloved woman leave, the smile on his face did not fade for a while.
Her dark blue eyes were still full of gentle smiles. It was as if he could drown someone in his gentleness, rendering them unable to escape from his eyes.
However, this clearly did not include the man by his side.
“What are you trying to do?”
Seeing the smile on his face as he watched the woman walk away, Gu Zhengrong only felt wariness.
“…” Egger did not respond immediately to his question and waited until the woman was no longer in sight before turning to look at him.
“You stay away from her! She’s different from those you’ve played with!”
Raising his eyes, the gentleness in them was no longer present. Right now, they were only filled with boundless coldness.
“Mr. Gu, can I ask in what capacity are you telling me that?”
He curled his lips slightly, his gaze mocking.
“Are you warning me as the boyfriend of her best friend or…” A sharp glare flashed across his eyes. “Or are you trying to keep me away from her because you’re jealous of me?”
Gu Zhengrong felt anger build up in his chest as he took in the other man’s insincere smile. “I’m telling you. Cooperation is okay, but you leave Pei Ge alone, or else I won’t let you get away with it!”
He took a few steps toward the latter as he kept his fierce gaze on him.
By then, the two men of the same height stood opposite each other. Their gazes were so cold and invasive.
“Heh… Are you threatening me?” Egger curled his lips, adding a sinister vibe to his features.
“What should I do, though? I’ve always hated being threatened.” Taking a step forward, he also inched toward him. “Especially with something that I love.”
Even though there was a smile on his face, his voice was eerily cold.
Since he was in possession of a devilish smile, at that moment, he looked particularly scary.
“She’s a human being and not a property.”
Uncowed, the other narrowed his eyes at him.
“There are so many women around you. You have all sorts of beauties at your beck and call. They’re probably a lot better-looking than Pei Ge. Why must you lower yourself and go after her?”
He raised an eyebrow at this. His lips then curled into a smile as his eyes flashed with light.
“How about you? Don’t you already have a girlfriend? Why are you still going after her?”
“…”
He laughed when he saw the other’s darkening expression.
“I believe that Mr. Gu understands my feelings. Even though I’m surrounded by women, the one I love has always been her. How can you compare all those ladies with my goddess?” With a cold laugh, he retracted the smile on his face. “Are they good enough?”
Gu Zhengrong must admit that, even if he did not want to believe it, this guy before him was serious.
The latter’s feelings for that woman might… not lose out to his love for her.
In an instant, he did not know what to say.
Taking in his stunned expression, Egger raised a brow once more. He then patted the man on the shoulder.
“Let’s go. We still have important matters to attend to.”
With that, he took big strides past him.
Looking at his strong and straight back, a sense of helplessness grew in the other man’s heart.
He would probably be unable to stop this one from going after her…
…
“Hey, Ge Ge! Don’t you think that that former classmate of ours has changed a lot?”
On this end, both women had found a café near the hospital to sit down.
Their four-seater table was full of food and desserts of varying colors, making them all the more appetizing.
Pei Ge had tiramisu in her left hand and a burger in her right. She was so focused on her food that she ignored Tang Xiaoyu’s question.
The latter rolled her eyes speechlessly at her.
“Hey! Stop eating for a bit. You already had three slices of cake, a steak, and a burger! Can you stop? I really give it up to you!”
Only now did she realize that her best friend had been telling the truth when she said that she had been eating a lot.
She was just not getting fatter and was getting skinnier, instead!
“Ah? I’m not full yet.”
The other woman paused and gave her a smile.
She rolled her eyes at her before grabbing the burger from the latter’s hand.
“Fine. Let’s talk. What did you feel when you saw Shen Rui today?”
“Ah? What do you mean?” Pei Ge blinked, feeling confused.
“… Didn’t you feel anything when you saw our old classmate?”
She really wanted to open her best friend’s brain to see what was inside it.
“He’s such a handsome man! Don’t you feel attracted at all?!”
