Chapter 201: I usually reject this kind of breakfast!

“This child, you don’t even greet me.” Zhang Manhua reproached as she observed the porridge and steamed dumplings in their respective pots.

“Mom, don’t say anymore. I need to wash up; can you help me watch the pots?”

“Okay, okay.”

After handing the breakfast preparation over to her mother, Pei Ge had a quick wash up and then went to her bedroom to change into leisure clothing.

Once she was done preparing herself, she returned to the kitchen and saw that the steamed dumplings and the lean meat porridge with preserved egg were ready to be served.

“Mom, breakfast is ready.” She saw the succulent lean meat porridge with preserved egg and the crystal clear steamed dumplings and felt proud of herself.

Although she had not cooked for many years, her skill was still topnotch!

She reminisced the days when she used to sell breakfast at a stall. It was so enjoyable!

After laying the food on the table, she and her mother enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast. Later, she packed the leftover in a lunch box to bring it over to Ji Ziming.

Since time was of the essence, she grudgingly took a taxi to the hospital.

Today was not urgent like yesterday, so after alighting from the taxi, her heart bled from the pain of paying the taxi fare.

She was truly tempted to ask Ji Ziming if the taxi fare could be reimbursed. It was just too expensive!

She held the thermos flask in her hands.

Although Qin Qitong was not waiting for her at the lobby this time, she still managed to enter the man’s VIP ward without arranging for a visit in advance.

She pushed the wooden door open and stepped into his ward with familiarity.

Bright and clear sunshine streamed into the ward through the glass window, bathing the man reclining on the hospital bed with warmth.

The warm golden glow of the sun made his indifferent face appear gentle to her.

Under the sunlight, the elegant and tranquil man read the content of a brown leader book in his hands.

His appearance looked more noble and elegant than arrogant and slightly vulnerable.

The sight of him like this caused Pei Ge to hold her breath in an attempt not to disturb such a beautiful scene, which was akin to a work of art.

However, this was Ji Ziming after all.

Although he was quiet, looked gentle, seemed harmless, and possessed elegance, he was still the cold and proud Ji Ziming.

“You are late. No pay for today.” Glancing up coldly at her, he faintly said this while he put down the book he was reading.

His words were like a wake-up call to Pei Ge.

In her eyes, Ji Ziming’s godly appearance became devilish once more.

“How am I late?! It’s only half past eight!” Hearing that she would not get paid for today, she hurriedly defended herself.

“My breakfast schedule is before 8 A.M.” He put on his slippers and came down from the bed.

“You… didn’t inform me about that before! My house is a distance away from this hospital, and there is no direct transit from there to here, so I took a taxi, which cost me a hundred yuan, just to deliver your breakfast to you, yet you still want to deduct my pay? You are really too much!” She fixed the man with a very aggrieved look. Did this man think getting up so early in the morning just to cook breakfast for him was easy?!

The more she spoke, the more indignant she felt, so she decided that she might as well directly complain to Ji Ziming.

“Last night, I began making preparations for your breakfast the moment I reached home and had to get up before 6 A.M. just to make it. Was it easy? I didn’t even get enough sleep because I was anxious to deliver your breakfast to you, yet you want to deduct my pay….”

As the saying went, a crying baby would have milk to drink.

Listening to her, he moistened his lips and eventually said, “Okay, fine. I won’t deduct your pay.”

“Really?!” Her head that was hanging low while she voiced her grievances swiftly lifted as she eyed the man suspiciously.

“Mhm.” He nodded helplessly.

“Then…” She blinked her eyes and then thickened her face to say, “My taxi fare for my daily trip here, can it be reimbursed?”

He looked at her being a miser and found it amusing. “Mhm, it can.”

After successfully negotiating terms with the man, she was about to thank him when he opened his bedside drawer and retrieved a golden card.

“You can use this card,” he gently said as he handed the credit card to her.

“Ah? Why are you giving me a card?” Pei Ge wondered as she eyed the credit card he was offering to her. All she wanted was for her taxi fare to be covered by the company.

“Reimbursement,” he briefly explained.

She quickly shook her head at his words and refused to accept the credit card.

“No need. I’ll just wait for it to be added to my salary at the end of the month,” she said with a smile.

It is too dangerous to swipe your credit card. It will ‘burn’ my hand.

Her refusal to accept the credit card caused him to raise an eyebrow and to slightly feel unhappy.

She was perceptive of his shift in mood this time and strove to change the subject fast.

“CEO Ji, you must be hungry! Please eat your food while it is still hot.” Saying this, she walked to the center of the room and placed the lunch box on the square table to open it.

She removed the steamed dumplings, which were still piping hot, from the lunch box and placed them on the square table.

Looking at the small and lovely steamed dumplings, she smiled, poured a bowl of hot porridge, and placed it next to the steamed dumplings.

“I just cooked a simple breakfast. I don’t know if it will suit your taste, so you can try it first,” she said with a smile as she organized the utensils. Her voice, however, betrayed a hint of nervousness.

Ji Ziming looked at the simple breakfast – a bowl of porridge, a dish of steamed dumplings, and a small plate of what seemed to be pickles – that was placed on the table and his brows reflexively furrowed.

His three meals a day, even a simple meal such as breakfast, would be extravagant and sumptuous. Today, for the first time, he was served with a two-and-a-half-plate breakfast.

Ji Ziming would definitely refuse this simple breakfast if he did not catch sight of Pei Ge’s expectant gaze. As such, he sat at the square table and picked up the chopsticks….
