Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

“Mom, I’m done eating; I’m heading out now!”

“Ge Ge, are you sure you’re done?! You haven’t even touched the buns yet.”

Pei Ge, who had gone to sleep early last night, still woke up late the next morning. This was the first time her body clock had failed her!

By the time she opened her eyes, it was almost time for her first lesson!

Thus, she washed and dressed in a hurry. With no time for a proper meal, she merely drank a bowl of soy milk and then rushed out of the house.

Zhang Manhua shook her head helplessly as she watched her daughter’s figure disappear from view. “That child, if I had known that this would happen, I would’ve woken her up earlier.”

She did not have the heart to wake up her daughter, who was sleeping so sweetly, earlier. Who would have expected that her daughter would not even have breakfast just because she woke up late?

Just as Pei Ge was contemplating on the best mode of transport while she was rushing down the stairs, she saw the familiar black car Du Wen was using to shuttle Ji Ziming daily parked downstairs.

“Du Wen, you are my savior!” she exclaimed happily before she hurriedly hopped into the car.

She seemed to have forgotten that, just yesterday, she had so pompously told a particular assistant that, even if he came to fetch her directly at her doorstep, she would never ride his car.

“Du Wen, drive faster; I’m running late!” she urged, quickly fastening her seatbelt.

He nodded in amusement at her anxious look and accelerated the car toward Bauhinia Court.

While she was relieved to see the fast-retreating scenery outside the window, she held a bit of regret for not taking a bun with her on her way out of the house.

“Du Wen, many thanks for picking me up; I overslept this morning.” She felt a slight embarrassment toward him.

“It’s my duty to serve, Miss Pei; no need to thank me.” He smiled reassuringly at her as he kept his eyes peeled forward.

She shifted uncomfortably at his polite speech and said seriously, “Du Wen, don’t address me as Miss Pei. We are all CEO Ji’s assistants; plus, you are my senior, so in the future, just call me Pei Ge.”

In response, he muttered inwardly, Heavens, Miss Pei! We aren’t the same at all! What ‘we are all CEO Ji’s assistants’?! Our station is completely different, alright! You are our boss’s beloved woman! Your current position is probably CEO Ji’s girlfriend, okay?

Alright, we are all CEO Ji’s assistants. Still, we aren’t the same at all! You’re the only assistant our boss cares for!

How can I even compare to you?

These thoughts suddenly made him feel depressed and tearful.

“Also, today is an exception; you don’t have to pick me up tomorrow. I know the route and will find my way there from tomorrow onward.” She felt abashed saying this. After all, yesterday, she curtly told him not to pick her up and that, even if he came, she would not get into the car.

However, today…

Ke ke ke! Aiya! Indeed, sleeping in is intolerable!

“Alright, Miss Pei.” He merely smiled calmly in response to her.

Having experienced her stubbornness yesterday, he had no energy left to explain himself to her.

Besides, he simply had to chauffeur this haughty Miss Pei on time every day.

As for her request, well, as CEO Ji’s paid employee, he would only take orders from the man himself. As for being the girlfriend of the big boss, she must obey him, too.

“…” She could tell that this assistant was merely going along with her from his continued way of addressing her as ‘Miss Pei’.

D*mn! Why is Ji Ziming’s assistant so stubborn?! I clearly told him yesterday not to pick me up, yet he still adamantly showed up in my neighborhood to chauffeur me! How persistent!

As the two assistants were unknowingly in sync with berating each other’s stubbornness inwardly, the car arrived at the entrance to Bauhinia Court.

She quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and rushed out of the car the moment it stopped.

Ahhhh! I’m finished! I’m gonna be late!

Her heart sank when she caught sight of the time on her phone and ran faster into the villa.

Ta, ta, ta! Her footfalls brought her all the way from nature-themed living room on the first floor to one of the lecture rooms on the second floor.

She arrived at the door to the room in a flurry of footsteps.

“Oh, yeah. What’s my first lesson today again?” She panted from her recent exertion while she looked for the picture of the timetable she had snapped yesterday.

“Ah! My lesson today is on etiquette!” Once she saw that that was her first lesson, she felt quite depressed.

If asked to name the most lofty, noble, and not-to-be-trifled-with mentor she had, it would definitely be the 40-something Mentor Leng, who was in charge of teaching her etiquette.

As her name suggested, she was indeed cold and lofty!

A minute before the lecture kicked off, she dashed into the room.

Tong, tong, tong! As this floor was furnished with solid wood, loud noises came from her running feet as they stomped against the hardwood floor.

“Hu, hu, hu!” When her time card revealed that she made it on time, she tried to catch her breath in relief.

“Miss Pei, you are late.”

Unfortunately, before she could do so, an emotionless voice said this.

Listening to the voice, her back subconsciously straightened. She stopped panting and her whole person stiffened as she stood straight in the room.

“Teacher Leng, I’m not late.” She raised her head to look at the cold etiquette mentor, who had circled around her from behind, and swallowed her saliva.

Her mentor was still very pretty and belonged to that kind of beauty, which gave a lasting impression to people, but despite her beauty and great disposition, her character… was one she had difficulties accepting.

Her coldness made others completely look past her beauty and only focused on treating her with respect.

“Not late?” Mentor Leng’s eyes glanced at her calmly.

“Yes, I’m not late. I arrived a minute before our lesson should start,” she argued in earnest.

Who would have expected that the response she would receive from her was a cold sneer?

“Miss Pei Ge, you consider yourself as not late even when you arrived a minute before?”

Was it not?

She looked at her wonderingly but, due to the latter’s piercingly cold eyes, swallowed her words back and kept them to herself.

“Do you have any idea of how long I’ve waited here for you? Two minutes. Two full minutes.” The middle-aged lady swept her with a gaze before she continued coldly, “Okay. We shall put to rest this matter in the meantime.

“Let’s just talk about your etiquette.”

“… Okay.” She suddenly felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

This strong intimidation and sharp eyes that could ignite a rotten wood…

Alright, she was definitely going be trained mercilessly! Hey. Compared to when she was in school, it was much more difficult and a lot harder to learn something nowadays!
