Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

“Pei Ge, you’d better remember your words.”

Huh? Remember what?

She lowered her phone, looked at its unlit screen, and nudged her lips speechlessly.

“What nonsense is he saying again…” she mumbled. Lowering her head to look at the luggage at her feet, she felt a headache coming on.

“Sigh… Forget it; forget it. Don’t care about that annoying fellow for now. I should lug this down first.”

With that said, she kept her phone in her bag again.

She once more moved to drag the luggage down the steps, but just as she touched its handle, a series of hasty footsteps came her way.

Tak, tak, tak! This sound of footfalls entered her ears, and for some reason, she found it to be familiar.

She frowned when she noticed that these footsteps were drawing near her.

She murmured inside, Am I blocking the way by standing here with my luggage?

Just as she moved to lean her luggage against the wall to make some space, she saw that person who was not supposed to be here appear before her eyes.

“Ji-Ji…” she stuttered, gawking at the man, “Ji Ziming?!”

She stared with wide eyes at the man whom she was just conversing on the phone moments ago.

Am I hallucinating?

As she thought of this, she reached out and lightly rubbed her eyes.

Am I really hallucinating?!

The man cocked a brow in amusement when he saw through her thoughts.

“Dumb woman.” He involuntarily blurted out what was on his mind.

His low yet attractive voice jolted her out of her daydream and reminded her that he was not a product of her imagination.

“Who are you calling dumb?!” She glared hatefully at him and grumbled inside,He really is annoying!

“Hmph,” he harrumphed. Wordlessly, he reached out and picked up the heavy luggage she had placed on a step.

She had yet to squeeze out a word, but he was already carrying her luggage and making his way down the stairs two at a time.

“Hey, hey, hey! Why are you carrying my luggage?! I can do that myself…”

Seeing his quick steps, she hastily chased after him.

However, for some reason, he seemed to be going at a pace that she, who was no longer carrying anything heavy, could not catch up to.

“Ha… haa… haa!” She ran after him down several flights of stairs.

Thus, by the time they made it out of the building, she was already panting from the effort.

Seeing the man finally stop ahead, she asked him a question as she tried to catch her breath. “Ji Ziming, I say, why were you running so fast?! There’s no one chasing after you for a debt!”

He turned to look at the still panting her and calmly put the heavy luggage into the car boot.

Pak! Once he closed the compartment, he finally spoke to her.

“Get in the car!”

She, whose breathing had just evened out, eyed the man helplessly as she got into the car.

“Why is it you fetching me today? Where’s Li Qi?”

She posed this question while she was buckling her seatbelt.

She did not receive a reply from the man, though. Instead, he stared at her solemnly.

At this point, she finally realized that the man was acting strange.

“What? Why are you staring at me like that?” She stared back into his deep and dark eyes. Suddenly, she felt her heart tremble in nervousness.

“…” He cocked a brow at her nervous look and coldly snorted before finally asking, “Was I fast?”

His cold voice seemed to be laced with smugness, but due to his extremely calm expression, she thought that she was seeing wrongly.

“You were.” She nodded, not understanding what he was getting at.

“Mhm…” He once more raised his brow to prompt her, his eyes never leaving her face.

Er? Did I say something wrong? Why is this annoying fellow staring at me like this?

“That… Ji Ziming, are you okay?” What craziness if this annoying fellow up to again?

She blinked at him cluelessly and adopted an expression that seemed to ask, ‘Have you gone crazy?’

He was no fool and could obviously tell what she was thinking.

He was instantly enraged.

This dumb woman! How can she forget her words so easily?!

If she knew what he was thinking right now, she would probably scream, I am being wronged here! Clearly, you’re the one who took my flippant words seriously!

“… Take my surname.” A long time passed, and the unhappy man could finally no longer keep these words to himself.

“Huh, huh, huh?” With wide eyes, she finally realized what he meant.

‘If you can still breezily walk down four flights of stairs while carrying a luggage a few kilograms heavy, I’ll take your surname!’

Huh?! So, that’s what this annoying fellow is hung up on?!

Completely stunned and at a loss for words, she looked at him speechlessly for a moment.

“I was just kidding then! It’s a slip of the tongue!” She blinked at him and thought to herself, How should I know that you’re downstairs and that you’d take my words seriously?

“I took it seriously.” He continued to look at her solemnly.

“Ha ha ha! Ji Ziming, you must be kidding me! How can I take your surname?” She instantly guffawed at his words.

Her amusement was short-lived, though.

“Then, someday, your children can take my surname.”
