Chapter 1262: I don’t want someone who can’t protect me
“Ziming, I haven’t told you about this; the truth is, I—”
She smiled and moved to clarify things with this man under his hopeful eyes but was interrupted by the banging of the office door, which her secretary opened from the outside without knocking before dashing inside while looking flustered.
“Boss, it’s bad; it’s bad!”
The office’s harmonious atmosphere was completely ruined by Wu Wei barging in without a heads-up.
“Er…”
Right at this moment, the secretary, who had barged in without knocking, realized that he seemed to have… disturbed something he should not have!
This was because… the man with his boss was looking at him murderously!
The man could not be blamed for feeling murderous, though, for through his painstaking effort and patience, he had finally glimpsed hope in Pei Ge’s eyes today
He could intuitively tell that he would be very happy to hear her words, yet…
His eyes turned even more murderous as he thought of that missed chance.
Seeing her secretary shuddering, Pei Ge schooled her face and coughed lightly.
“Cough!”
She then eyed her subordinate perplexedly.
“Why are you looking like that?”
She knew that this assistant of hers would not be behaving like this if there was nothing.
“B-Boss…” Wu Wei found it difficult to speak with the man’s icy gaze on him and stumbled with his words when he addressed her.
“You’re on the news.”
He closed his eyes and blurted out with much difficulty.
“What? On the news?”
She frowned slightly.
“That’s right, but I’m u-unsure on wh-who provided the media with that info…”
The assistant started stammering and even looked as though he were in a tight spot.
“Say it.”
She narrowed her eyes as though she had thought of something.
She had a feeling on what her assistant would say next.
“It’s about y-your children…”
His voice became smaller as her gaze turned fierce.
“There’s also… that nasty bit about you…”
“Oh.”
She hummed calmly after her subordinate finished speaking.
It was as if she were an unrelated person to this matter.
“B-Boss?”
He was taken aback by his superior’s reaction—or lack thereof—and could not fathom why she would respond like this.
“I understand. You may leave now.”
She gestured at him to leave coldly.
“Huh? Okay.”
Although he was still feeling puzzled, he left the office at her order.
Pei Ge and Ji Ziming were left inside the office.
Pak!
She looked at the man the moment the door closed.
“Hey. I’m on the news.”
She smiled at him as though she were telling a joke.
“Mhm.”
“You know who is behind this matter, right? If you don’t, then there’s no need for you to seek me in the future. I don’t want someone who can’t even protect the person he likes.”
