Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

“… If I must put her in a position, then she’s my savior.”

The car slowly stopped at a red light, and he turned to look at her. His eyes were filled with sincerity and seriousness.

“S-Savior?”

A long time passed before she regained her senses enough to stutter this out while looking at him.

“Yes, she saved my life.”

He nodded, looking as if he were recalling something.

His thoughts slowly drifted to that day over a decade ago.

While that day did not change his life, it definitely did for Qiao Jingyun.

Due to his bodyguards’ momentary carelessness, he was kidnapped by some men. That woman coincidentally saw it.

Originally, she was not supposed to get kidnapped as well, but because of her kindness, she chased the kidnappers like a fool.

In the end, she got kidnapped along with him, and they were put inside a pitch-black old factory.

This was also where he got his fear of the dark to the point of developing a light case of night-blindness… and becoming claustrophobic.

In the darkness, it was this girl who had given him courage and hope.

She was clearly much younger than him, but she was much more daring than he was. She had stayed by his side all throughout – comforting him, teasing him, and making him at ease and happy.

She even ended up helping him escape.

After he escaped… she received the brunt of the kidnappers’ anger and received beating in various parts of her body. Even her sweet voice was damaged.

“She saved you?” Pei Ge blinked, a little in disbelief.

“Yes. In the year that I graduated from high school, I was kidnapped. It was her who had saved me that time.”

He nodded slightly.

She widened her eyes in surprise. “You were kidnapped in the past?”

After saying this, she lightly frowned and muttered, “That man earlier didn’t look very old, so his younger sister should be even younger. If it’s over a decade ago…

“She should be even younger! How did such a young girl save you?”

She was totally confused. When he was about to graduate from high school, he would be at most be 17 or 18. Would that girl’s age not be even younger then?

“Don’t look down on her. Although she’s young then, her aura wasn’t to be overlooked! She’s clearly only a girl, but when she gave orders, it’s so structured, and she was very smart.”

A light smile surfaced on his lips as he recalled this.

Perhaps even he did not notice it, but when he mentioned that little girl who had saved him back then, his eyes turned softer.

She could not help but feel jealous at his expression now.

“You’d better fess up now; do you really not feel anything for her?” she softly asked.

Her question caused him to pause for a moment as his eyebrows twitched.

“Forget it; forget it. I don’t wanna know anymore. Let’s skip this topic.”

She could not help but feel sour inside upon seeing him pause. Suddenly, she started to regret bringing up this topic to torture herself!

No matter what the past was, the only woman in his heart now was her.

Moreover… they had even gotten their marriage certificates. Parents of both sides had already agreed to their relationship. Why did she have to go frustrate herself over things from the past?

He’s not one flirt with others while in a committed relationship.

Just as she was about to move past the topic, the man spoke.

“Pei Ge, I don’t wanna lie to you.”

He looked up at her with a somber face.

Her face turned a little white at this.

Don’t say it… Don’t say it…

“I used to like her.” His expression was so serious that it made her heart ache.

He used to like her… He liked another woman before… and she saved his life…

“She’s very kind and knew what to say to make me happy. She sang really well…”

He slowly recounted the girl’s strengths with a gentle expression.

Her fists slowly tightened at his words.

She knew that he had chosen her because he liked her. Also, he did say that his liking for her was in the past.

Still, she felt very awful listening to the person she loved praise another woman.

“Then, you… Why don’t you like her anymore?” She pursed her lips tightly and asked hesitantly, “Is it because of Uncle Ji?”

She seemed to have heard some things about that woman from Fu Mingxuan…

Her senior told her before that Ji Ziming liked that girl a lot.

“It can’t be considered as liking.” He shook his head lightly and then sighed. “I just feel that she’s changed, or more like, the good things about her were merely my imagination in that darkness.”

Clearly, in that pitch-black room, his heart pounded like crazy because of her angelic voice. He was comforted by her even though he could not see the girl’s face at all.

However…

When they were saved, and he finally saw the girl, he inexplicably felt that she was different from the girl in his heart.

If not because there were just the two of them in that pitch-black room and that she recognized him, he would likely not think that she was the one who had saved him.

Perhaps due to guilt or her saving him, he treated her well.

He gave her all – the best of everything – and even supported her family’s business.

However, the closer they got, the more he realized that he did not feel anything for her, not to mention anything related to romance.

Everyone thought that he liked her and that they were a couple.

However, only he himself knew that he felt nothing for her.

Clearly… his heart… used to beat hard for that girl…
