Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

Chapter 1692: Only because she is good at pleasing men.

With an obedient look, Pei Ge felt her heart warm at his words. Her voice cracked slightly as she said, “I know. Don’t worry. I’ll let you know if I feel uncomfortable.”

“Yes.”

He nodded. His eyes were very tender.

When he thought of the blood on her back, he felt his heart constrict. Even his eyes turned red with bloodthirst. Who was it that dared to make a move on his woman? This was not the first time someone had secretly tried to harm her. He could not stop himself from pondering on the motive behind this.

A person’s face surfaced in his mind, and his eyes turned harsh and merciless. He emitted a frightening aura, which even Pei Ge, who was standing beside him, could feel. She looked up at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Put on your clothes, and let’s get down.”

His voice was very gentle, but his gaze was akin to a knife coated in poison, making shivers run down her spine.

“I’m truly fine.”

As she said this, she felt her back twinge. It was painful that it made her back be slightly damp with cold sweat. Her nerves seemed to have become much more sensitive. Just a slight touch on the wound could make her expression change.

“Let’s go, then.”

Ji Ziming did not notice that her eyes were glistening slightly in the moment she lowered her head.

“Yes.”

Pei Ge nodded, then took his arm and slowly exited the presidential suite. There were many helpers in the corridor. On the left were young-looking male helpers in black suits and white shirts. On the right were women, aged thirty or younger, with exquisite makeups which accentuated their beauty and liveliness. Their monochrome maid attires were very proper and neat that she could not find any fault in them at all.

“Hug me tightly.”

Upon feeling the woman beside him slow down her pace and even loosen her grip on him, the man reminded her after they entered the elevator.

“Yes.”

The latter bore with the pain on her back and held onto his arm as she tried to catch up with him.

After the two exited the elevator, He Yun, who was waiting for them outside the banquet hall, quickly walked over and asked, “Sir, there are my guests today; do you have any orders?”

He eyed the hall filled with guests. There were many unfamiliar faces. There were numerous small companies who wanted to make contact with Ji Ziming. Meanwhile, the leaders of large companies stayed upstairs to look at the din downstairs. There was a clear division in social status and relationships in this hall.

The man eyed the banquet hall and something reddish caught his eyes.

“He Yun, go open a bottle of 1982 Lafite and send it over to Miss Qu Jingwan.”

He ordered in his cold voice while looking at the missy, who was standing far away. He was emitting a bloody-red aura of fury, so his subordinate followed his instruction without voicing any opposition. He ordered a passing waiter to open a new bottle of red wine and brought it to Qu Jingwan.

“Hey, are you suspecting her?”

Only then did she realize the reason behind his fury. It turned out that he had taken the missy as the one behind her injury. Intuitively, she could tell that her attacker was not her.

She did not know where her confidence stemmed from but had this feeling that anyone could be behind this except for that lady. It was because, the day before she chose her gown, Qu Jingwan had sent someone to remind her to be more careful. Still, it was unexpected that the person hiding behind a dark veil had managed to bribe someone by her side. She also did not expect that person to target her evening gown.

“I will definitely not let that person who did this to you get away with it!”

His voice was ruthless and merciless as an icy-cold aura emanated from him.

“Let’s just go in. We still have to greet the guests today.”

She pursed her lips lightly and put on a light smile as she exuded gentleness. Ji Ziming was unable to shift his eyes away from her.

“Ge Ge, let’s go. Talk to Qu Jingwan.”

His lips curled upward as he pulled her in the lady’s direction.

None of the guests in the hall even noticed when he appeared. It was only when they had taken two steps inside that people around them realized it. Originally, these people thought that hosting this banquet was just an afterthought of his; they did not expect that they would truly see him in person. In addition, Pei Ge was by his side. The perfect pair was indeed a sight to behold.

“Quickly look! It’s really Ji Ziming!”

“Yes, yes! He’s so handsome. That woman beside him is also very beautiful. The black evening gown really makes her fair skin stand out.”

“She’s Pei Ge, isn’t she? There’s been lots of news about her recently. Have you guys heard any of it?”

...

A bevy of women gossiped about from this woman’s birth to her meeting with Ji Ziming. All of it more exaggerated than the other and was all certainly untrue.

In the end, the conclusion they reached was that she was someone who had made use of the man to get to where she was now. After all, Ji Ziming was a person who could rule the capital. As long as he said he wanted to host a business gathering, big and small companies would clamor to attend it.

However, only a few women could remain by his side. There were even rumors that he was incapable in that area or none of the women who had been with him before could last a week. All these added to his legend in the circle.

As for if he was capable in that area, only Pei Ge knew best.

There would always be an issue with what one could and could not attain. Even if they could not get the man, these ladies were still unable to ignore how he held Pei Ge’s hand all the way inside. In the end, all of them in the hall turned to watch the pair.

“What do you think is so good about that woman?”

“Only because she is good at pleasing men.”

“That makes sense. She isn’t really that good-looking. She doesn’t even look as beautiful as the Qu family’s Jingwan. Didn’t they say that the missy is Young Master Ji’s fiancée? Why is it that he brings this other woman everywhere he goes, instead?”

...

The few ladies were thinking nonsensical thoughts again.

Meanwhile, the couple, who was now among the crowd, was unaware of it at all.

The wound on her back seemed to be getting bigger. Originally, Pei Ge thought that it was something small, but following her every movement, the wound seemed to widen with the pain heightening as time went by.
