“Who’s joking with you? Hurry up and come over!” The corners of his lips twitched slightly as a profound smile appeared on his face. With that, he reached out to pull her toward the backyard.
“Hey, CEO Ji, what do you want? What do you want me to do?” She did not know what was going on and could only watch as she was unwillingly pulled to the dining table by the pool.
However, by the time she reached the spot where she had peeked at Ji Ziming and Luo Yi’s dining table, all that greeted her eyes was the spread of delicacies on the table.
“This …” PEI GE was clearly stunned. The table full of brand new food was even better than the table that Luo Yi had just eaten. She looked at Ji Ziming in disbelief and pointed at him with her slender finger.
“You don’t have to be too touched. Just treat it as a reward for your hard work these two days!” Seeing the joy on her face, the man put one hand in his pocket and pretended to be very romantic and considerate.
!!“No, CEO Ji, don’t tell me that you’re not going to give me the overtime pay and bonus you promised me just because you’re treating me to a meal like this?” The joy on her face disappeared at the sight of his insufferably arrogant look. She lifted her chin slightly and flashed him a charming smile, waiting for his reply.
Ji Ziming was stunned. He did not expect her to remain unmoved despite all his preparations. Most importantly, wasn’t she Shen Feng’s woman? Could it be that Shen Feng had really fallen to the point where he had to let his beloved woman go out to earn money for herself?
Feeling both speechless and amused, he reached out to his pocket and shook his head.””Pei Pei, don’t you think that it’s embarrassing to talk about overtime pay in such an occasion? And …”
As he said this, his straight brows furrowed into a deep knot. He glanced at the exquisite and delicious food on the table and then at PEI GE.”Besides, these delicacies are all from my heart. Even if you really want to talk about overtime pay with me, you should at least choose a suitable occasion for the discussion based on my sincerity, right? Are you a girl or not? on a night like this, with such beautiful scenery and delicious food, and most importantly, me … You should be touched by my thoughtfulness, right?”
“Ha!” She coldly snorted at him and crossed her arms.”‘CEO Ji, I think you’re overestimating me. I’m no longer a 17-or 18-year-old girl. I’ve long passed the age of hearing about love. Your little tricks might work on those girls who are envious of you, like that miss Luo Yi whose eyes were filled with electric waves, but to me, they’re just cannonballs. I think you’d better save your energy and really not put any more effort on me. ”
Ji Ziming did not expect that Luo Yi’s plan would not work on PEI GE at all. Instead, he was even ridiculed by her.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. His eyes turned slightly red, and his brows furrowed. He walked away from her and toward the food on the table. He pulled out a chair and sat down.
Seeing that he had sat down and was looking at her with a pair of dark eyes, she did not know what other tricks he had up his sleeve. Thus, she could only shrug her shoulders in embarrassment and stand still with a nonchalant look.
“Come over and finish this meal with me!” His tone was already a little awkward, and his tone was no longer as gentle and charming as before. Instead, it sounded more like a command.
She looked at him suspiciously and asked,””President Ji, I’m not hungry.”
The man rolled his eyes at her and ordered,””Even if you’re not hungry, it’s already time for dinner. I’m the president, and you’re the special Assistant, right? Since I’m the one who asked you to work overtime today, and I haven’t agreed to let you go home, you have to do as I say! Or else …”
“Otherwise, you’ll deduct my salary and bonus? You want to kick me out of Ji group, right?” Before he could finish, she cut him off and strode over to the table. Pulling a chair over, she sat opposite him, her pink cheeks already slightly red from his earlier attitude.
Ji Ziming raised an eyebrow. Seeing that she had already sat down, his good-looking lips curled up into a beautiful arc. He did not know that this method of goading was so effective. It could be said that it worked every time.
Hence, he tilted his head slightly, picked up a glass of red wine, and poured it for her.””It’s good that you know. I’m asking you to eat, not to run as punishment, and you’re not happy!”
She pouted and rolled her eyes at him.”Eating with a Black-bellied boss like you, with a fake smile on your face, and you’re two-timing, just after eating with the daughter of a rich family, you’re trying to please the special Assistant. You’re really thick-skinned, don’t you know how disgusting it is? I might as well go for a run and stand as punishment!”
She forcefully picked up the utensils in front of her and randomly cut the steak on the plate as if it was not steak but Ji Ziming’s disgusting face.
Seeing that she was finally willing to sit down and eat with him, he felt a little relieved. At least, his hard work earlier was not in vain.
“Pei Pei, this is Wagyu beef that I had someone air-ship from Japan this morning. Try it and see how it tastes.” The man’s straight brows relaxed at the sight of her cute little mouth chewing non-stop, and his tone was full of adoration.
PEI GE did not have much of an appetite to begin with, and this made it even more difficult for her to swallow. She suddenly missed the warm scene of Shen Feng, Wen Xin, and the others eating home-cooked food together.
Thus, the chewing at the corner of her mouth suddenly slowed down. She blinked her long eyelashes twice and replied,””I don’t know much about beef. I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you, CEO Ji.”
Ji Ziming laughed dryly at this and awkwardly pressed his fork and knife against the beef on his plate.””What’s wrong? Pei Pei, don’t you usually go out for meals or dates with Shen Feng? He’s giving you the cold shoulder?”
For some reason, his words sounded exceptionally harsh to her, though she did not know if he was being jealous or mocking her.
She swallowed the beef in her mouth in one gulp, no longer in the mood to continue eating. Placing the fork and knife neatly on both sides of the plate, she solemnly replied,””President Ji, first of all, you don’t need to criticize my relationship and daily life with Shen Feng because this is a private matter between the two of us. There’s no need to tell you the truth. Secondly, I don’t think there’s a difference between a few thousand pieces of beef and a few dozen pieces of beef. As long as I share it with my loved one, it’s a kind of happiness. However, if I were to have dinner with someone like you, CEO Ji, I still find the beef as unbearable as chewing wax. ”
