Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire Chapter 1848 - Are You Ready Now?

Chapter 1848: Are You Ready Now?

“I’m fine with it. Besides, I’m already used to such heights. You don’t know the shoes I used to wear on the runway…”

Before Mao Nana could finish speaking, Qu Xiujie had already pulled her hand and stuffed it into his arms. His att.i.tude was firm. “You don’t have to wear such high heels in front of me. With me around, I won’t let you suffer so much.”

Mao Nana was stunned by Qu Xiujie’s domineering boyfriend power. She did not think that there was anything unusual about this pair of high heels and was pulled into his embrace in front of so many people.

“Uncle, I…”

“What about you? I’ll do whatever I say. Just listen to me.”

Qu Xiujie said in a low voice as he looked at Old master Qu who was standing not far away from Mao Nana. His lips curled into a faint smile but his eyes were filled with doting love for Mao Nana. This little woman could do her own business or be Qu Xiujie’s woman.

As long as it was what she wanted, Qu Xiujie would agree to it, provided that she was happy and safe.

“Okay.”

Mao Nana stopped talking and obediently laid on Qu Xiujie’s shoulder, letting him hug her.

The warmth in her chest seeped through the thin fabric of her clothes and gave her a calming feeling. It was a feeling she had never experienced before. It was like when she was young and the auntie in the orphanage gave her a huge lollipop.

Mao Nana always remembered that her childhood lollipops were not as sweet as the one her auntie gave her.

The sweetness of the memory seemed too distant now to recall.

Qu Xiujie let go of Mao Nana and held her hand tightly. He looked at Old lady Qu who was not far away and smiled coldly. “Ge Ge, are you ready?”

“Of course. Uncle, we’re going to do something that others don’t dare to do.”

Pei Ge smiled and looked at Qu Xiujie. “Uncle, are you ready now?”

“I must.”

Qu Xiujie’s smile was dark and Mao Nana, who was standing beside him, looked at the two of them as though she had already decided on something big, even though she already knew what Pei Ge and Qu Xiujie meant.

“Uncle, Ge Ge, I’ll go get something to drink first. I ran over and didn’t even get a sip of water.”

“Okay, Nana. You go ahead. I’ll find you later.”

Pei Ge nodded in agreement. Mao Nana’s destination was right in front of them.

“Okay, I’ll go get some red wine. Come find me later.”

Mao Nana looked at the various drinks and red wine on the crystal counter and smiled.

“Go on. Don’t go too far.”

Qu Xiujie let go and watched as Mao Nana walked away.

“Ge Ge, do you have something to say to me?”

“Mhm.”

Pei Ge nodded and looked at Old master Qu who was watching them from afar. She lowered her voice and asked, “Uncle, did you leave the things I gave you at the place I mentioned?”

“I’ve already placed them there, so don’t worry. But I think Ziming brought something with him when he first came in. I think he brought it here on purpose.”

“Right. But I don’t know what he brought with him. He said he wouldn’t tell me yet.”

Pei Ge thought for a few seconds. “Uncle, observe the situation later. If Old lady Qu don’t do that, we…”

“Understood.”

Qu Xiujie nodded and looked around. When he saw Old lady Qu standing behind Qu Jingwan, hatred flashed across his eyes. Although it was short, Pei Ge caught it immediately.

“Uncle, don’t be like this. Today is a day worth celebrating. Trust me.”

Pei Ge pursed her lips and smiled at Old lady Qu.

“Jingwan, what do you think Pei Ge is planning today? Why do I feel that something is amiss?”

Old lady Qu’s expression was grave as she looked at Qu Jingwan and Mao Nana who was walking over. She could not help but think of a plan.

“Grandma, what can happen? Pei Ge only followed CEO Ji here. If he doesn’t come, who is she? What is there to worry about?”

Qu Jingwan did not think much of it. She downed the gla.s.s of red wine in her hand and bit her red lips lightly. Looking at Pei Ge’s figure, she said resentfully, “Grandma, what kind of magic does this Pei Ge have to make Ji Ziming so devoted to her? No matter how I seduce him, it’s useless. Could it be that I’m not as good-looking as her? My figure is not as good as hers?”

“Maybe it’s not Pei Ge’s problem, but Ji Ziming’s problem.”

There was no reason for him not to be moved by a beauty like Qu Jingwan.

Old lady Qu could not understand how charismatic Ji Ziming was to be able to remain unmoved by Qu Jingwan’s tricks in front of him. Old lady Qu also could not understand how outstanding Pei Ge, whom everyone praised, was.

However, one thing was certain. This woman must have her own capabilities. Otherwise, how could she win over the man whom all the women in the capital adored?

“If you don’t use some tricks, how can you win him over?”

Old lady Qu sneered but she was extremely repulsed by Pei Ge. If looks could kill, Pei Ge would have died a thousand times by her stare.

“Grandma, are you saying that I didn’t work hard enough?”

Qu Jingwan got drunk and looked at Old lady Qu in a daze. She then glanced at Qu Qingyu, who was standing behind Old lady Qu.

“Cousin…”

“Qu Qingyu, Qu Qingyu, do you only have eyes for Qu Qingyu now? Don’t you want to think about how to s.n.a.t.c.h that Ji Ziming back? Don’t Pei Ge’s son like him a lot? Why, is this useless now?”

Old lady Qu looked at the drunk Qu Jingwan with disdain. Her eyes were cold and she tightened her grip on the hot tea. No matter how she looked at it, Old master Qu did not seem to have any intention of coming over.

“Call Old Master over. Why is he always looking at Mr Ji’s family?”

Old lady Qu glanced at the hot tea in her hands. She had specially asked the servants to prepare the best new tea in the kitchen. The porcelain in the cup was Old master Qu’s favorite set and even the temperature of the tea was just right.

This new cup of tea did not receive any love from Old master Qu at this birthday banquet.

“Grandma, this cup of tea…”
