Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 1520

Chapter 1520: That thing you talked about, is it this or that?

“No! Don’t! Don’t close the door!” The thick and heavy door with rose-engravings closed with a thunderous thud, which startled her awake.

“No! No!” she screeched in fear. She sat bolt upright in bed and noticed the older woman looking at her in confusion inside this VIP ward. She then softly explained, “Auntie, sorry; I had a nightmare.”

“It’s fine; it’s fine. You’re now awake. It must’ve been because you were too busy taking care of Baby.” Madam Ji took some tissue to wipe the sweat on her forehead, sounding heartbroken. “You should rest properly. You will end up falling sick if you continue overworking yourself. How should I explain this to your mother if you fall sick?”

“Don’t worry. Even if I really fall sick, it will not be your fault. Taking care of the boy is my honor and happiness. He is a good child that anyone will love. I feel happy just by looking at him.” She received the tissue from the older woman and wiped her sweat herself.

“You are such a good, future daughter-in-law. You always think of others’ well-being. Only someone like you is the best partner for my son.” The older woman’s gaze was full of love and warmth, which was also evident in her voice. “Rest well when we get home. My grandson is fine now, and he just needs to stay here for a couple of days. Plus, there is still Pei Ge and my son around.”

“Auntie, Pei Ge is pregnant and can’t stress herself. It’s better if I come.”

“Come? I’ll be unhappy if you come.” The older woman pretended to be unhappy. She turned to look at Ji Chi, who was soundly asleep and was not awoken by Qu Jingwan’s scream earlier. It could be seen how much care the child needed as he had not slept well for a long time.

“As for Pei Ge, I will speak to my son about having her rest at home tonight and not run around outside.”

“Auntie is right. The mother-son pair is the priority right now.” A dark, scheming glint flashed past Qu Jingwan’s eyes.

That dream reminded her that everything was Pei Ge’s scheme. Roses were the latter’s favorite flower, and that woman also stole the man and his assets from her.

I can’t let all that happen in real life. No matter what methods I have to use, Ji Ziming and his family can only be mine and mine alone. No one will be able to snatch it from me!

Inside Red Star’s CEO office, Pei Ge sneezed out of nowhere, earning her a frown from the man. “Is the temperature too low?”

“No, I don’t feel cold.” She shook her head. She did not think it was because the aircon was on full blast but rather because her body had not gotten used to it yet.

“I’ll turn up the temperature a bit. You’re wearing too little.” The man eyed her exposed white and slender calves and continued in a displeased tone. “Don’t wear skirts that reveal your legs starting tomorrow. You look good in pants, too.”

“What?” She felt that she must have heard wrongly. It looked like her attire even needed the man’s approval.

“Do you not hear me?” The man’s eyes darkened as he narrowed his eyes at her. In his low and cold voice, he said, “I don’t like it.”

She rolled her eyes at him and could not help but ask, “Then, should I be wearing long sleeves, long pants, and high boots?”

“That’s for the best.” He happily nodded, pretending not to notice the anger in her eyes. “It’s no longer fashionable to reveal any flesh.”

Reveal flesh? Does he think I am selling pork?!

“Hey, Ji Ziming!” Just as she shouted this, she felt a small current leave her body. As long as she moved a bit, this current would start flowing out.

“Hng! What?” The man picked up the document folder on the table and lowered his head to read it, not noticing her abnormality. It was only when he did not receive a reply for a long time that he looked up again, squinting at her. “Is there anything wrong with you?”

“I think it came.” She hugged her stomach. The helplessness on her face made him throw aside the documents immediately and rush to her side, asking nervously, “Are you sure?”

She nodded as her voice trembled. “Yes. Do you have that in your office?”

“What?” He did not understand what she meant.

“I mean that.” She sounded hurried.

“Oh, you mean that.” He appeared to have an epiphany as he calmly spoke. “No.”

One did not even need to think about it; why would such a thing be placed in his office? Moreover, he had never given orders for his subordinates to prepare such stuff, but even if he did, he would not expect her to have it now.

“How, then?” She frowned and continued cupping her stomach. Her slender legs were spread out and bent at the knees.

“I’ll go buy some for you,” he calmly answered.

Startled, she stood up straight and widened her eyes at him. “You’ll go buy some for me?”

“Of course. Otherwise, are you going to buy that in your state?” His lips curled up as he looked at her smilingly. “Is it too much for me to buy such stuff for my woman?”

“No, no, no. I should be honored that you’re willing to buy that for me.”

“Then, you should properly savor this honor. Wait here for me; I’ll be back fast.”

“Mhm.” She nodded gravely, as though her life were in his hands. As the man got up off the sofa and picked up his suit coat, she found that her stomach was not cramping in pain anymore. At that moment, she was being coddled in his love. If not for the small pain in her stomach reminding her, she might already be lying in his embrace and speaking sweet-nothings with him.

“The supermarket downstairs should have that, right?” After he was done putting on his suit coat, he put on a baseball cap that he had retrieved from the office wardrobe. The low-hanging baseball cap surprised her. Is this still the man I know?

“Why? Do I look weird?” Noticing the change in her expression, he faced the mirror and adjusted his attire again.

“You’ll be easily recognized if you wear it like that. Why don’t you try changing your clothes?” She reminded him. Putting aside the fact that she could recognize him, as long as he reached the lobby on the first floor, all the female staff would definitely recognize him with stars twinkling in their eyes.
