Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 870
Chapter 870: A Slightly Odd Fu Mingxuan
After sending Qiao Jingyun off, people approached the couple in droves to extend their well wishes.
The buffet went on until 3 PM.
Pei Ge was truly burned out by this engagement party.
Seeing the guests leave, she returned to the waiting lounge with her mother and sat on the white comfy sofa sans a regard for her image.
“Ah! I’m so tired!”
She shook off the heels on her feet and dropped on the sofa.
Her mother frowned at her action.
“You lass, get up quickly! Hasn’t Xiao Ji’s father just reminded you to be careful of your image?”
She smiled and stuck out her tongue at her mother.
“Aren’t we alone right now, mom? I’m so tired today! Just let me rest for a short while!”
“Fine, fine. Up to you.”
After hearing that, Zhang Manhua took pity on her daughter and did not continue nagging.
“Ah, I left my phone with your auntie and Qitong. Wait here awhile, and I’ll be back shortly.”
Once she finished packing their items, Zhang Manhua realized that she had forgotten her phone with the Ji Ziming’s mother, so she quickly left the waiting lounge and went to her.
The moment her mother was out of sight, she lay on the sofa and disregarded her image again.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, a series of footsteps came from the entrance.
“Mhm!”
She rubbed her eyes lethargically, but before she could open them, she heard a man’s voice.
“Ge Ge.”
She opened her eyes at the slightly despondent voice.
“Senior?!”
She looked perplexedly at the man who had appeared right before her with knitted forehead.
All the guests had left, so why was he still here? He even appeared before her in this waiting lounge.
More importantly, her darling boyfriend had warned her never to be alone with this man.
“Ge Ge, you and Ziming were busy earlier, so I didn’t greet you both earlier.”
He smiled at her.
“Ah, it’s alright; it’s alright. My fiancé is your close friend. Even if you didn’t attend our engagement party today, he wouldn’t mind.”
She grinned at him, her anxiety mounting. What if my jealous lover sees us together alone? He may just abandon me on the first day of our engagement!
She joked to herself.
She did not expect that her words would infuriate him further, though.
“You don’t want me to attend your engagement party?”
She was thinking of how she could send him away when his words caused her to be taken aback.
“Ah? Of course not. You’re my fiancé’s long-time friend and my senior, why would I think that?”
Ever since Ji Ziming said that this guy might hold feelings for her, she started thinking that this man was indeed behaving oddly.
This was especially so when it came to her.
When she thought up to this, she decided that it was best for her not to be alone with him.
“Look, senior; I’m about to remove my makeup and change my clothes. If there’s nothing else, do you mind excusing yourself?”
The man’s black irises darkened when she drove him out without hiding her intentions.
“Alright, I’ll leave. Wish you…”
By the time the man lifted his head, the complicated look on his face had vanished, and only a refined, elegant smile remained.
“Wish you a marital bliss.”
“Yes, thank you.”
She smiled brightly at the man.
The moment she finished speaking, and before she could react, the man crossed the distance between them and stood really close to her.
Caught off guard by his sudden action, she moved to scold him, the man spoke first.
“Ge Ge, if Ziming bullies you, you tell me at once, okay? I’ll always be on your side and take revenge for you.”
As he finished speaking, he backed off without her needing to push him away. Once more, he had created a distance between them.
“Er…”
She was actually not touched by his approach but was instead shocked by it.
Unknown whether it was her imagination, but she felt a sense of aggression in him just then.
“Alright, I have something on, so I’ll leave now.”
Without waiting for her reply, he waved goodbye and turned around.
She pursed her lips tightly upon seeing him take his leave.
In the end, she still thanked him.
“Senior, thank you. I’ll definitely be blissful. I hope that you can find your happiness soon.”
Her words caused him to stop in his tracks.
Thanking me… Ge Ge, you’d likely not say that if you were to learn what I had done…
I’m so sorry… but without you, I won’t be blissful…
Alas, she could not read his mind. If she could, she would know that she was surrounded by vultures trying to separate her and Ji Ziming.
…
Fu Mingxuan collapsed after leaving the waiting lounge where Pei Ge was in.
He was almost driven mad by jealousy and fury upon hearing her words.
Therefore, he actually did such things to her.
His mind instantly cleared up once he left her waiting room, though.
Perhaps after committing this, there was really no way out for him.
Just as he was feeling lost and dazed, the phone in his pocket rang.
“Hello…”
He answered the call lethargically as he did not want to talk to the woman on the other end.
“The photo was taken. You did a good job today. It’s so perfect that even I’m surprised by it.”
“…”
He kept his silence upon hearing this and hung up at once.
Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, there was no turning back.
He did not regret, nor could he regret it!
