Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

The two had a rather enjoyable lunch, and when Pei Ge saw her mother preparing to take a nap, she tiptoed out of the ward.

Carefully closing the door, she went to inquire about her mother’s health report to the concerned nurse.

“Your mother’s health report? You’ll have to wait till tomorrow for it,” informed the nurse surnamed Wang.

“Oh, okay.” With a nod, she thanked the nurse. She was about to inquire about something else when her phone rang.

Fishing it out from her pocket, she gave up on inquiring further once she saw the displayed caller ID on the screen. She blinked her eyes blankly.

“He he! ‘Annoying Fellow’? Miss Pei, your naming sense is pretty unique. Could that be your boyfriend?” Nurse Wang, who happened to be beside Pei Ge, laughingly teased her.

“It’s not.” She smiled and, after excusing herself, walked to a corner that was well out of earshot before answering the call.

“Hello, CEO Ji, do you need me for something?” she asked the man over the phone.

“… Must I only call you when I need you for something?” Ji Ziming’s low and clear voice directly entered her ear.

“Er…” She did not know how to reply to that.

“Pei Ge, remember your identity and don’t say such a stupid thing next time,” he warned.

“Huh? What identity?” A look of confusion appeared on her face. What is my identity? Is he referring to my identity as his subordinate?

“…” The person on the other end fell silent. After a pregnant pause, he bellowed, “Pei Ge, come over right this instant!”

“Aye?” His anger took her by surprise.

She was just about to ask where she should go, but the phone’s busy tone already sounded. Clearly, the man had hung up on her.

She slowly removed the phone from her ear and held it in front of her. Staring at its screen, which showed that the call had ended, she blinked and muttered, “He didn’t even give me his address… How am I supposed to go over?”

In the end, she mustered up her courage and redialed the man’s number.

The man’s phone had no dial tone, so whenever there was a caller, they could only hear a series of beeping sound.

Beeping six times, the call was finally answered.

“Hello, is this CEO Ji?” she carefully asked.

She only heard a one-word reply.

“… Speak.”

Clearly, his anger had not dissipated yet.

“O-Oh!” She reflexively nodded, despite the man not seeing it, and quickly said, “CEO Ji, you forgot to tell me where you are; I don’t know where to find you.”

“…” The man over the phone was totally silent.

At a loss on what to do next, she could only ask, “Al-Also, CEO Ji, what’s your call for earlier?”

Her question was answered by the busy tone.

Toot… toot… toot… toot—

Her lips twitched at the busy tone that signaled that the other party had hung up on her once more.

F*ck, why hung up on me again? I didn’t even say anything out of turn! Also, that annoying fellow didn’t tell me his address again; how am I supposed to find him?!

Amid her internal grumbling, the ringtone for receiving a text message sounded next to her ear.

“Hm!” She gawked at the displayed sender of the text.

It’s actually from Ji Ziming, that annoying fellow?!

She opened the message and saw an address.

“This…” Seems to be the address of a high-end condo in the capital.

She checked the address a few times and then returned to her mother’s ward. Stealthily navigating through the room, she retrieved her bag and left the hospital.

She confirmed her route and took the subway to the given address.

Perhaps, because it was lunchtime, few people were on the subway.

Feeling bored on the subway, she decided to give her best friend another routine call.

Hearing the automated response saying that the number could not be reached, she pursed her lips in frustration.

Xiaoyu, you are really too much! What in the world happened to you?

She stuffed her phone into her bag as she grumbled inside, As soon as I manage to reach her, I’ll definitely get her parent’s contact details!

She quickly reached her destination.

Alighting from the subway, she walked toward the upper-class, residential area the man was located.

Since it was near the subway station, she quickly reached the place.

She stood in front of the gates to the residential area for the rich and eyed the letter carvings, painted in gold, in the gleaming black wall, which said ‘Wan Bai Lin’.

The entrance was exquisitely modern.

She moved to enter the residential area but was stopped by the security before stepping past the gates.

“Miss, who are you looking for?”

She smiled at the security personnel. “I’m looking for Mr. Ji Ziming. He should be the one occupying the penthouse of Building A.”

The security’s expression slipped a little once she was done speaking.

“Okay, Miss. May I ask for your surname?”

“My surname is Pei,” she replied politely.

The security nodded and returned to the guard room to dial a number.

“Hello, Mr. Ji. There is a Miss Pei looking for you at the entrance…” respectfully informed the security over the phone.

The call did not last long.

“Yes, Sir. I will let her in now.”

When the security exited the room, his expression was much more polite than before.

“Miss Pei, you can go in now. Mr. Ji is waiting for you.”

She did not take offense at the security’s change in attitude and merely smiled politely at him before walking in.

While this neighborhood’s location was just second tier, its landscaping was comparable to that of the high-end residential area at the heart of the city.

The sweet-smelling, lush flora along the way to Building A uplifted her mood.

Entering the given passcode by the man, she opened the glass doors to the building.

While the man’s residence was deemed to be a penthouse, Building A was unlike the other condo buildings; it was not a skyscraper and was, instead, just a four-story building.

Inside, she realized that the elevator was unavailable. She could also not find the stairs leading to the floors above.

Just as she was about to panic, the elevator doors parted open with a ding !
