Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

Chapter 1646 - You know my answer already.



Chapter 1646: You know my answer already.

Ji Miao’s sister was in the countryside, and because the family was poor, she missed the right chance to undergo treatment. That was why she was easily bought over by him.

The close aide of Old Lady Qu was surprised that the couple could find out about Ji Miao.

When the confidential data in Pei Ge’s company was lost, Ji Miao did not even go to the office, so it would appear unlikely for her to be the one who had stolen the data from her boss’s office.

Ji Miao had already passed the data to him ahead of time, after all. Also, that woman had held back and only gave him half of the data.

“Since she’s useless now, just settle her.”

His lady boss gently rubbed the flower petals in a nearby pot. She showed disdain for the nectar in her fingers.

“Madam, she still has another set of the data in her hands for she only gave me half,” said the close aide hesitantly. Seeing how the old woman was enjoying crushing the flower, he could not help feeling fearful of him being rid of, too, in the future. He might suffer the same fate as Ji Miao.

“Half?”

Old Lady Qu sat up, and the flower in her hand was squeezed beyond recognition. She looked to be in rage, and this made him feel more fearful.

“Yes, so I’m thinking of paying her a visit in the prison to ask for those. I don’t believe that she won’t be willing to tell me. Even if not for her sister, she should spare a thought for herself. Since she probably wants to leave that place, I can extract from her where the remaining half is.”

He proposed an idea based on his interaction with Ji Miao; he knew that she would not do that. If she wanted to leave the prison and return to her sister’s side, she would negotiate with him and would not stay mum.

“What if she’s unwilling? What will you do then?”

Old Lady Qu was planning for the worse.

“Then, I can only do this.”

He gestured a silencing move. Having killed so many people over the years, he had become used to it. He had seen all the people who had betrayed their employers for all sorts of reasons, and he would not care much about another Ji Miao.

However, the close aide was wrong. When he met Ji Miao again in prison, her previously watery eyes became terrifyingly empty and dull. For a moment, his heart ached for this woman, who had no one to depend on as she strove hard for her sister.

Seeing that she was unwilling to tell him about the other half of the data, his eyes reddened.

He noticed that there was nobody around and pulled the railing as he said, “If you continue to push on, you’ll die. Old Lady Qu won’t let you off!”

Sensing that he had a slip of tongue, he quickly shut up. Alas, the woman before her still appeared lost in her thoughts, so he gave up. A person who no longer had the urge to live would no longer respond no matter how much the people around them talked.

Not long after he left, Ji Miao’s lifeless eyes came to life again.

After striking a deal with Ji Ziming, Qu Xiujie was now on his way to the hillside mansion while being protected by the man’s best fighters.

Although the mansion was on the hillside, the amenities there were great and even had a good internet connection. It looked even more exquisite than the Ji family’s mansion by a hundred times for Ji Ziming had built it for his wine-tasting hobby.

After being with Pei Ge, he rarely went there anymore, for there was no need to drink. With a call, he could simply get his helper to deliver a bottle of wine to his office or mansion.

“Ziming, do you believe Qu Xiujie?” asked Pei Ge when she saw the middle-aged man getting in the bodyguards’ car.

Although her man appeared confident during that smokeless war earlier, she knew that he was taking a gamble. He was gambling all his reputation on Qu Xiujie’s words.

“Do you think I believe it now or not?”

Standing at the entrance of the office, he smiled at her before planting a tender kiss on her forehead. He sounded so gentle, the aloofness on his face disappearing.

“Let’s go home.”

“Okay.”

Pei Ge nodded. The truth was right before her eyes, and even if she did not believe it now, she knew he would give her a reasonable answer. Furthermore, he had never lost before.

“Answer my question: Do you think I believe Qu Xiujie?”

Ji Ziming drove. The thought of spending quality time with her tonight made him smile, but the moment he thought of the way Qu Xiujie had spoken to Pei Ge, his cold aura was suddenly unleashed.

This caused the woman next to him to feel that the warm car had become cold this instant.

Becoming lost in his thoughts, the man did not even know that he had the ability to control the temperature.

“You know my answer already.”

Pei Ge chuckled and stopped asking him if he believed in Qu Xiujie or not because she had her answer.

Precisely because she trusted Ji Ziming, she believed that he trusted Qu Xiujie, or else he would not have protected her.

“What do you think his information is worth?”

The man shot a glance at her as his hands lay on the steering wheel.

“You’re protecting him now, so his information is more useful than all you have.”

She made a bold conjecture.

“No, I know already about the information he gave me.”

The moment he said that, Pei Ge turned to look at him. She was unwilling to believe that this man would be in such a good mood.

“Why are you still protecting him then?”

She was baffled on his reason, for this was not how he did things.

“Old Lady Qu might’ve found out about him looking for me. If I don’t protect him, he will have been dead by now. I have many enemies, and she’s one of them. The enemy of your enemy is your friend because we have the same goal. Even if Qu Xiujie sought me for my power, I’d just meet his ruse with another. He merely wants my protection, and I can afford it.”

Pei Ge nodded. Her heart was flooded with love for the man who was driving the car and giving her guidance. She could not help winking at him.
