Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

The white slender fingers lightly gripped the quaint and elegant Yixing cup. The purple-black color of the cup created a maddening scene of bamboos, which evoked a sense of unspeakable beauty.

Pei Ge pretended to lightly smell the tea by mimicking Ji Ziming’s actions, and, in the instant, the drink’s fragrance rushed into her body.

Relaxed, pleased, and refreshed….

She lightly sipped the tea, and, despite not knowing anything about tea, she liked its taste.

The aftertaste was refreshing. Once she finished the entire cup, she realized that a strong fragrance lingered.

“What type of tea is this? It tastes really nice.” She placed down the cup in her hands. Only then did she realize that the man next to her had yet to finish his tea and was still slowly savoring it.

Seeing such a scene, she could not help but spit inside, Such a small cup of tea, yet he is still unable to finish drinking its content. His strangeness is making me speechless!

Unbeknown to her, it was her act of quickly finishing her tea that would make those who practiced the art of drinking tea spit!

“Mount Wuyi Red tea.” He glanced at her and, seeing that she had finished her tea, poured her another cup of it.

She downed it in one gulp again. Feeling very refreshed, she placed the cup down.

His forehead creased slightly at this scene.

“You must slowly savor the tea when you drink it,” he explained, feeling slightly helpless at the situation. This was his first time making tea for a non-family member, and the sight of her drinking the tea like a thirsty cow slightly frustrated him.

“Don’t they all taste the same whether you drink it fast or slow? What other flavor can you taste? Besides, I am really thirsty.” She shrugged nonchalantly.

His mouth twitched at that. He studied her fair and round face.

He could not resist thinking, This stupid woman is not that pretty, is quite dumb, and is crass; what did I see in her that made me like her?

“Oh, yes. CEO Ji, do you still want those leftover ingredients?” She asked when she sensed that he was in a good mood.

“Mhm?” He placed his cup down and looked at her inquiringly.

“Do you still want the remaining ingredients from lunch?” she repeated as she blinked her doe eyes at him.

“…” He was utterly speechless and felt that this pot of tea had been wasted.

What atmosphere was there left to enjoy the tea? It was completely and utterly ruined by her.

Sure enough, it was inappropriate to do tea-tasting with a person who put a deadly amount of sugar in their coffee.

“… No. I don’t want them.” He really could not fathom how her mind worked.

She refused to take the credit card, yet she was quick to grab those leftover ingredients!

“Then, CEO Ji, since I will be cooking for you seriously every day, can I take the remaining ingredients in the kitchen?” She cast him an expectant look. She felt that it was such a waste to throw those away, so she intended to bring them home, instead.

After tasting the dishes she had made, she really thought that the organic vegetables and meat delivered by Sister Yun were really delicious! At the very least, their taste and flavor were way better than the ones found in the local wet market.

She really wanted to bring some home for her mother to try.

“… I can have someone deliver fresh ones for you if you want,” he offered.

“No! No need! I just think that it is a waste to throw those ingredients away, so I want to bring them back to distribute among my neighbors,” she quickly refused his offer and hurriedly explained her reason for wanting to have them.

“…” He was now truly rendered speechless by her complex way of thinking.

When he did not speak, she took it as consent, so she happily said, “I’ll take them home, then! Thank you very much, CEO Ji!”

“…” Ji Ziming: I really don’t want your gratitude regarding such a thing, as it feels that the meaning of ‘thank you’ has become very, very, very cheap!

After getting such a satisfactory result, she no longer minded the boredom brought by accompanying the man. To thank the man for agreeing to her request, she was decided to read aloud the content of a book for him.

“CEO Ji, since the doctor wants you to limit your reading, why don’t I read aloud a book for you?” she willingly offered while pointing at the pile of books she had collected earlier.

He was slightly surprised by her offer and nodded lightly in agreement. “Sure.”

Hearing his acquiescence, she reached for a book and got ready to read it aloud.

However, when she read the title, she uncontrollably shot him a confused look.

‘Pounding Heart’? This seems like a romance novel. I couldn’t tell, but he actually reads such books, huh.

“…’Pounding Heart’. All I’ve ever wanted is for Julie Baker to leave me alone….”

Pei Ge’s clear voice echoed in the big hospital ward that only had two persons.

He listened for a while and found something wrong with the book she was reading. Taking a look at the cover of the book in her hands, his forehead folded slightly.

It was not his book.

However, when he saw how serious she was at reading the novel, his creased forehead relaxed and he did not stop her from reading it.

The lines on his face softened and eased at the sound of her sweet voice.

The two sat by the window and got bathed in the warm sunlight. The man leaned lazily in the soft chair and closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

The woman sat straight in the chair, her hands holding the relatively thick English book. She read the romance novel in all seriousness and did her best to pronounce all the English words accurately.

The novel had an interesting plot. It was about a girl who liked the boy living next door and chased after him. However, the boy, although he liked her back, was shy and did not confess his feelings for her.

She started reading this book to help the man stave off his boredom, but she eventually got caught up into the story.

Slowly, her reading became emotional.

When the girl and the boy had a funny scene, she would read with joy, and, at times, when the boy unintentionally hurt the girl, she would read with sadness.
