Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 447

Chapter 447: He actually cannot compare to a meal of delectable cuisine?

Ji Ziming’s answer was not said softly, so anyone paying attention to their talk heard him clearly.

His words were akin to throwing a bomb into the crowd as everyone quickly started buzzing with excitement again.

Many of them took a second look at Pei Ge.

“Ah, so it’s CEO Ji’s girlfriend!” The man gave a dry laugh.

However, a bit of disappointment flashed in the man’s eyes, as well as in all the other men in the crowd.

As for what they were disappointed about, only they themselves knew inside.

Ji Ziming clearly did not like the man’s gaze. Sweeping his narrowed eyes warningly across the guy, he dragged her far away.

She blinked in confusion when she suddenly perceived the man’s cold aura.

What’s gotten into this annoying fellow this time? Who ticked him off?

Her thoughts were about to drift off again when a familiar voice called out to her.

“Ge Ge!”

She was slightly stunned to hear this person’s voice.

“Second Uncle…” She raised her head and spotted Pei Zhenghui walking toward her with a face full of smiles.

“It really is you, Ge Ge.” Pei Zhenghui looked at her in surprise. Clearly, he had failed to recognize her earlier.

He indeed was unable to recognize her, and if it were not for Ji Ziming’s statement, he would definitely fail to identify her for his niece.

“Mhm.”

The pair halted their footsteps at his appearance.

“Hello, CEO Ji. I am Ge Ge’s second uncle, the CEO of Pei Family Real Estate, Pei Zhenghui.” He quickly introduced himself when he saw them halt their steps.

He especially emphasized the words ‘Ge Ge’s second uncle’.

Of course, it was useless.

That was because the man remained expressionless, seemingly not wanting to bother with him.

“Oh.”

Pei Zhenghui was at a loss on how to proceed with the talk at the man’s curt reply, and his hand, which he had proffered to him, hung in the air awkwardly.

“He he. Really thank you for taking care of our Ge Ge.” He laughed dryly and shamefacedly retracted his hand.

“Mhm.” The man merely hummed in response and did not even spare him a glance, clearly not intending to give him any face.

Pei Zhenghui frowned in apparent displeasure at the man’s cold disregard.

Hmph! This niece of mine is indeed not Mr. Ji’s real girlfriend and is clearly just a useless shield!

He swept her a gaze filled with annoyance and disappointment.

If my daughter, Shishi, were CEO Ji’s fake girlfriend, then they’d likely be in a real relationship by now!

How useless can this trash be?!

Feeling his discontented gaze, she only found the situation to be ironic.

How did I even offend this two-faced second uncle of mine?

If she knew of his thoughts right now, she would probably mock him.

Disregarding the possibility of her cousin managing to turn her relationship with Ji Ziming into reality if she were the shield instead her, the reason this man had asked her to act as his girlfriend was to avoid her cousin in the first place!

Based on just how much this man hated her cousin, where did the confidence of her second uncle come from? How laughable!

“Are you hungry?” Noting Pei Zhenghui’s type of gaze on her, Ji Ziming pursed his lips and asked her this.

“Huh?” When he asked her that, the foodie her failed to catch the gentleness in his voice as all her focus was on the prospect of eating. Quickly nodding her head, she said honestly, “I’m hungry.”

She was indeed famished. Having expended so much energy confronting that hospital, then going through all that at Lily’s salon, and all along not managing to grab a bite of anything, it was a given that, come dinner time, her intestines were already contracting from hunger.

“Then, let’s go have some food.” With his arm around her waist, he guided her to the dining table and did not acknowledge Pei Zhenghui again.

As for her, because of her second uncle’s gaze, she also did not bother staying around to speak to him.

This was not her only reason for doing this, though. In fact… she was still very angry at what he had done to her family!

Pei Zhenghui’s face contorted with rage at the pair’s disregard of him and how they left without giving him any face.

This niece of mine is indeed as my daughter claimed: an ingrate!

I have really raised her for nothing all these years!

If I knew that she’s so thankless to the point of bringing me shame, I wouldn’t be so kind and would just let the ingrate die back then!

Meanwhile, Pei Ge’s mood improved once they were a distance from her second uncle.

When the man brought her to a long table of cuisines, she felt even better and, in fact, was elated.

“What do you want to eat?” He looked with gentleness at her smiling face.

“I’ll get them myself!” With that, she detached herself from his arms and happily selected food.

With her inner foodie at work, she only registered the food before her and totally failed to notice that a certain CEO’s gaze had turned displeased and… depressed.

Right now, she only had one thought in her mind, and that was…

This is so good! Amazingly good! Indeed, I always get to eat good food every time I follow this annoying fellow!

He was a little peeved at her attitude, but seeing how much the food enthralled her, the anger inside him subsided significantly.

Of course, that did not mean that there was no anger left at all.

A certain high and mighty man was currently feeling very depressed. He, an esteemed CEO, was actually incomparable to these delectable cuisines to the woman; how could he stomach this?

He, of course, could not!

However, there was no use even if he could not stomach it!

He pursed his lips and, after staring at her coldly for a while, finally realized that a certain someone had completely filtered him off her gaze. This made his heart drop in resignation.

Can this d*mn woman go any further in disregarding me?!
