Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

“Ziming, you’re back! My mom called me earlier. She said that we made it to the news again, but it’s not positive this time…”

Pei Ge pouted with a glum look.

“Say; we’re not celebrities, but why does everyone keep coming at us?”

She was especially glum. Those posts and articles about her before were positive.

Even though she thought that it was a little strange, she did not have any negative feelings about the comments.

Right now…

She did a quick search online after her phone conversation with her mom and saw a lot of negative comments about her.

The comments made her feel terrible.

The man perceived what she was feeling from her tone of voice and walked over to her side to put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

“Don’t worry. Soon, this matter won’t bother you further.”

His deep voice, which was pleasing to the ears, resonated inside her and eased her frustration.

“It’s fine. I can just not read the comments online,” she muttered softly. Raising her head, she looked at the man standing by her side.

“I was just grumbling a little to you. It’s nothing serious, really.” She began to comfort him, instead.

The man patted her shoulder confidently still and said plainly while smiling, “Trust me.”

His words made her feel safe. Instinctively, she nodded.

Ji Ziming patted her head with a smile and then sat opposite her at the table again.

“Does my cooking taste good?”

Pei Ge nodded seriously at the man’s question, tossing her worries from earlier aside.

“En, en, en! It’s amazing! Even though I’ve never tried that eatery’s dish, I think that your version of it is the best!”

“Have more of it if it’s tasty.”

As he spoke, he picked up the spoon and refilled up her empty bowl with food.

“Ah! I can’t eat anymore! I’ve eaten a lot already! It’s harder to digest food if I eat this much for dinner. They’ll all turn into fats and I’ll get fat!” said Pei Ge while shaking her head.

“Haven’t I told you that I like you slightly chubby? You don’t need to lose weight.” He had a serious expression as he pushed the food toward the woman.

“No. I hafta lose some weight even if you like me slightly chubby. Lily and Xiaoyu have already said that I must maintain a fit body as your wife.”

She did not want her life with him to be all about wearing makeup and getting a makeover, especially after the unpleasant comments about her on the net.

They made her want to lose more weight and become skinnier.

If she were skinny right now, those netizens would not say that she was not good enough for him.

They would not say that he was blind, too.

Compared to getting criticized herself, she was more afraid of him getting criticized because of her.

“Pei Ge, I’ve said it before; you don’t have to bother yourself with the opinions of others. Just focus on me.”

He knitted his brows when he noted how adamant she was.

The woman pursed her lips firmly together when she saw the man frown.

“Okay, I get it. I won’t go on a diet anymore,” she said, seemingly complying to his will. Her expression was a little helpless.

“Mhm.” He nodded and finally relaxed his frown.

What he did not know was that the woman agreed to it on the surface only. Behind his back…

“Lily, help, help! Ziming won’t let me go on a diet; how do I go about doing it?”

After dinner, Pei Ge hid herself into the spacious bathroom of the presidential suite.

“Ah? Mr. Ji won’t let you go on a diet? That’s tough. The usual, healthy, and efficient ways to lose weight often depend on healthy, nutritional meals, and exercise. If your fiancé won’t let you lose weight… it’s quite tough for you to do it.”

She felt troubled when she heard the stylist’s words.

“Then, what do I do? I really want to lose twenty pounds before the wedding.”

“Er… There’s really nothing I can do to help you. If you can’t lose weight or go on a diet, then there’s nothing I can do,” replied the stylist, his voice filled with helplessness.

“Are there any diet pills that can let me lose weight secretly?”

Just as she was all out of ideas, and she was feeling desperate, a thought suddenly came to her.

“Lass, even though highly potent slimming pills exist, they carry side effects.”

“Did you see what the netizens were saying about me and Ziming earlier?” she asked after she took in a deep breath.

“…” The stylist, who was trying to dissuade her, fell silent.

“Lily, I’m begging you.”

“Fine, fine. I can’t stand you! I get it; I’ll get you the most potent diet pills that many ladies in the circle have been taking recently.”

“I knew you’d have a way! I love you so much!”

“… I can’t stand you.”

…

As Pei Ge chatted happily with Lily on the phone, unbeknown to her, her phone line was being tapped.

“Miss Qiao, do you think I’m worth the price now?”

Under the yellow light, a man in casual back clothes stared greedily at the woman sitting behind the work desk.

The study looked rather exquisite with all the white lilies decorating it, and the work desk, which was big enough to double as a bed, made a striking contrast to this with its dark color.

Qiao Jingyun removed the earphone from her ear, her eyes icy cold. She raised her brow and sneered.

“Worth it. Too worth it. Not only are you worth the price, I’m giving you a bonus. You did well this time.”
