Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 1172

Chapter 1172: Who exactly is your fiancée?!

“You’re directionally challenged, huh! My precious children are also directionally challenged!”

She grinned and tapped the child’s nose in amusement.

He blinked his eyes in surprise at her. “You really have two children who are my age!”

“Of course. Auntie has two very adorable and well-behaved kids! They’re of the same age as you, so you three will surely be good friends!”

She bent down and smiled at the child.

However, right after this, she became puzzled.

Aye? When did I tell him that I have two babies of the same age as him?

“That’s not right. How did you know that I have two children of the same age as you?”

“Ugh…”

The child blinked his dark, round eyes at her. With them spinning in their sockets, he smiled at her innocently. “You told me about it yesterday!”

“I did?” Did I say it? How come I only remember telling him that I have two children and not how old my kids are?

Just as she was trying hard to recall yesterday’s events, she felt the little child, who had been tightly holding on to her hands, suddenly release her.

“Daddy!”

The child’s shout pulled her back from her reverie.

She looked up and spotted him running into Ji Ziming’s arms.

“Daddy!”

The boy tightly held on to his father’s sleeve as he tilted his head upward. The smile on his face made him look really adorable.

Alas, his father merely hummed in reply.

This lackluster reaction made the child feel disappointed and his eyes dimmed considerably, making one feel heartache for him.

“Good morning, Mr. Ji.”

Pei Ge quickly walked over and rubbed the boy’s head gently.

“Morning.”

The man fixed his eyes on her, as though wanting to confirm something from her face.

Sensing his emotions, she suddenly felt a little tense.

“Um… Why are you looking at me like that?”

She cocked an eyebrow. Even if she felt endless uneasiness, she did not reveal any of it.

Rather, her attitude became tougher.

“Nothing.”

The man pursed his lips together when he noted her cold and unfeeling eyes before retracting his gaze.

Now… isn’t the time yet.

Before I confirm anything, I can’t let this woman suspect anything…

They appeared in the dining room like a family of three.

This surprised the man’s parents and Qu Jingwan, who were already seated at the table.

What surprised them more was when they saw him pull the seat for the woman courteously.

This man was famous for being discourteous toward women. In fact, he was indifferent to the fairer sex, yet his attitude to this particular woman was the opposite! It was truly unfathomable and made him seem like a different person.

“Thank you.”

Pei Ge did not notice the surprised gazes of those seated as she calmly sat down in the seat he had pulled for her.

Next to her, the little child also sat down.

“Mommy, this porridge is yummy!”

The child pointed at the bowl of porridge in front of her happily.

“Mhm, okay. Auntie will get you a bowl.”

She rubbed his head with a smile and then picked up his bowl to serve him it.

“He he! Miss Regina, did you sleep well last night?” inquired Madam Ji with a smile.

“Yes, I did.”

After placing the bowl of porridge in front of the child, she smiled at the older woman in return.

“It’s good that you slept well. I only found out this morning that you were stuck with my grandson last night. I hope he didn’t trouble you.”

“He didn’t. He’s a very good boy.”

In the middle of chatting with the older woman, Pei Ge suddenly spotted a pair of hands in front of her.

In these well-defined hands was a bowl of porridge, which looked identical to the little child’s porridge.

Her sight followed the arms and registered Ji Ziming staring at her unblinkingly.

“…”

“Have some porridge before speaking.”

He placed the bowl before her. The man even dumped a crystal dumping on her plate.

“…”

Her reaction lagged a bit.

“Ah, thank you.”

After expressing her gratitude to the man while forgetting that she was chatting with his mother, she reflexively picked up the bowl and started eating it.

As she ate the porridge, she started recalling that time when she lived with him…

Back then, he had done the same thing for her… Moreover, he always cooked for her…

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Madam Ji frowned in displeasure upon seeing her son put his fiancée aside and prioritize another woman.

Although she did like this woman, Qu Jingwan clearly had a higher position in her heart.

The young lady was, after all, the woman she had acknowledged, so she could not let her son be this disrespectful to her.

“Son, you can’t simply thank Miss Regina by serving her food; we must prepare a gift for her in order to repay her for saving our boy!”

The man frowned slightly at this, finding her words uncomfortable to the ears.

“Ah, no need.” Pei Ge quickly put down her bowl and waved it off with a smile. “Saving the boy is something given. Also, he and I are quite fated, so there isn’t a need to repay me.”

“That can’t do! It’s all thanks to you that my grandson is safe and sound now…”

“It’s fine. That’s really—”

Just as she was trying to reject the older woman’s offer, Mister Ji, who was seated beside his wife, suddenly spoke.

“I heard that Minghao Group hired you from New York’s Wall Street to be their CFO; is that right?”
