Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 340
Chapter 340: The respectable CEO has come to expose an affair!
Pei Ge’s expression stiffened at the sight of Ji Ziming making his way over.
Wh – Why is this annoying person here?!
No, no! Why am I so nervous?!
With her entire focus on him, she failed to notice that a woman in red was glaring at her spitefully.
“Ge Ge, what’s wrong?” Wen Qimo placed his palm atop hers and asked gently when he saw her stiffen.
Feeling the warmth enclosing her hand, she involuntarily shuddered.
She felt Ji Ziming’s gaze becoming colder, and it frightened her.
“N – Nothing. I just spotted my company’s CEO,” she answered. Shifting her gaze away, she took this chance to remove her hand from Wen Qimo’s clasp.
“CEO?” he asked in confusion and then looked in Ji Ziming’s direction.
He frowned at the man’s sullen look.
“Wen Qimo, who is she?!”
A woman’s voice caused Pei Ge to lift her head again.
A beautiful and petite woman stood before them.
Her beauty was extraordinary. While the design of her red coat was simple, her voluminous hair, red lipstick, and British eyes made her beauty unique.
Pei Ge shifted her gaze from the woman in red to Ji Ziming, who was standing behind her with a sullen face, and thought suspiciously, Could she be his date today?
However, the way the woman was angrily looking at her and Wen Qimo, as if she were there to expose an affair, was making her confused.
Who exactly was this woman?
She turned and looked at Wen Qimo suspiciously.
“Manager Ji, what a coincidence meeting you here.” He smilingly stood up in greeting.
“Wen Qimo!” His amiable greeting seemed to have infuriated the woman as her eyes blazed with rage.
“Manager Ji, are you having a date, too?” he smilingly asked, clearly unfazed and unrattled by her angry outburst.
The woman took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her emotions, at his relaxed smile.
The animosity in her eyes intensified and she asked in a livid tone, “Wen Qimo, are you intentionally provoking my anger?”
“Hm? Manager Ji, I don’t quite understand what you mean,” he stated with an innocent smile.
“You! You are doing this on purpose!” Ji Lelin said as tears gathered in her eyes. She only felt wronged right now.
It must be said that, with Ji Lelin’s extraordinary beauty, her tears looked especially moving.
Even Pei Ge, a woman, was moved by her tear-filled eyes.
She could not help but think, Did Qimo really do something to disappoint her?
“Manager Ji, please don’t speak words that can be misunderstood by my girlfriend. You are putting me in a tight spot here.” He smiled and then glanced at Ji Ziming, who was standing behind Ji Lelin.
“I believe you are putting your date in a difficult situation, too.”
Pei Ge’s mouth twitched at his words.
This annoying person is truly here on a date, huh. And… It is with such a pretty lady; they look quite compatible.
“Wen Qimo, do you have a heart?! You know that the person I love is you! You are too much!” Ji Lelin exclaimed as her face paled, and she glared at him with tears in her eyes.
“Manager Ji, I really don’t want my girlfriend to misunderstand. My relationship with you is merely that of a boss and a subordinate. It is that simple,” he said coolly, his smile fading.
“Girlfriend?” Her jealous eyes finally shifted away from Wen Qimo and toward Pei Ge.
“Ha! This is your so-called girlfriend? How can she compare to me?!”
She glared at her fiercely and then sneered.
He rested his palm on Pei Ge’s shoulder, looking if she were in his embrace to onlookers, and gently continued, “Yes, she may not be as pretty or have a good family background as you – heck, she may not even have your qualifications – but when it comes to feelings, it is all about the fate and the heart that never lies. Though she is not comparable to you, my heart is telling me that she is the one and not you. It is that simple.”
Silence descended in the crowd at his words.
If even Pei Ge was almost captivated, what more of the others?
She was fortunately privy to his sexuality, or she would really think that he liked her.
He spoke words of love with such eloquence that she believed any woman would be moved.
If a man were to profess to her that his love was not based on her looks and family background but on her person, instead, she would be… the happiest woman in this world.
Did such a man exist, though?
Pa-da! Unabated tears rolled down Ji Lelin’s cheeks.
She felt her heart ache terribly as she watched him affectionately embrace another woman and speak those loving words seriously.
This man was as she had imagined: the world’s greatest man.
His words of love were so moving.
He liked a woman simply because of who she was, but… that blessed woman was sadly not her.
She had been by his side for so many years. Since the day she laid eyes on him at the university, she was already very much in love with him.
His stone-cold heart should have been warmed by her affection after all these years, yet his heart regrettably remained unmoved and, in fact, grew even colder.
He was always so formal and was indescribably alien to her…
Pei Ge felt discomfited at how upset the lady was. She really did not expect that meeting Wen Qimo’s parents would lead to such a situation.
She had only sympathy for her, yet who knew that Ji Lelin’s sadness would vanish and be replaced with fury in that instant?
She reached with her hand for the cup on the table, seemingly intending to splash its content on Pei Ge.
However, just then, a well-defined hand prevented her from doing so…
