Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire Chapter 280 - A certain, respectable CEO chokes on his saliva.

“CEO Ji?” Pei Ge blinked at Ji Ziming who quickly got up off the sofa when she entered the waiting lounge.

Unknown if she was mistaken, she thought she saw a stunned look cross his eyes.

Ke, ke, ke! He even seems to be in a daze? Still… It made him look cuter than usual!

Perhaps, it was because of her voice or her burning gaze that he recovered quickly.

“Ke, ke, ke!” he choked and coughed violently.

“Are you alright, CEO Ji?” She watched him cough violently and thought to herself, This annoying person isn’t drinking water at the moment, so why does he seem like he’s choking on one?

Feeling her suspicious gaze on him, he coughed even harder and his fair skin gradually took on a red hue.

“CEO Ji, are you alright?” She began to worry when she saw his face redden.

Ji Ziming felt a strange happiness bubble inside him at her worried look.

Only after coughing for a long while did he managed to compose himself.

Seeing that he had finally stopped coughing, she asked wonderingly, “CEO Ji, why did you suddenly start coughing? You seem to have choked on something.”

At her inquiry, his still red face blushed even redder.

“Shut up. You are taking too much time. Let’s go.” With that, he took large strides out of the salon.

Pei Ge was unable to react in time and remained in her spot. What was wrong with him? Why did he seem angry?

“Hei hei! Looks like your CEO Ji choked on water just then.” Lily, who had been observing from the sidelines, suddenly chuckled.

“Ah, how could that be? He wasn’t even drinking water,” she refuted.

“Ze, ze, ze! Don’t tell me you don’t know that type of water called ‘saliva’?” Lily smirked. This was such an interesting sight. He had never seen this side of the ever cool Ji Ziming. The high and mighty CEO actually had such a cute side to him.

“Saliva?” She found his explanation rather strange. Ji Ziming choked on his saliva? Huh? You’ve got to be kidding me!

“Hei hei! Maybe, your CEO Ji saw how beautiful and cute you look and choked on his saliva from shock.” Lily threw a wink at her.

“…” Her eyes widened in surprise at his words.

“Th – Tha – That – That’s impossible!” she stammered loudly and shook her head vigorously. “That is definitely impossible! How could th – that annoying person be like that?”

That was right! Lily loved to prank and tease her! Lily must be teasing her again!

“He, he, he, he! It’s up to you whether to believe me or not!” He blinked and gave her a look that seemed to say, “I’m telling the truth, though.”

“Achoo!” Ji Ziming, who had left the modern-looking salon first, sneezed.

It was only when he looked over his shoulder that he realized that Pei Ge did not follow him out.

“This dumb woman…” he mumbled, thinking of that earlier scene.

He would definitely never ever admit that he had choked on his saliva earlier when he saw her beautiful look.

He would never admit it!

Having just heard Lily’s words, she stole a few glances at Ji Ziming once she got in the car. Her mind was constantly repeating them.

‘… Your CEO Ji saw how beautiful and cute you look and choked on his saliva from shock.’

“Why do you keep staring at me?” Ji Ziming turned and asked her coldly.

When she got caught staring at the man, she reflexively gulped her saliva in shock and unexpectedly started coughing violently just like the man earlier.

“Ke, ke, ke, ke!” she continued coughing as she thought with amazement , Saliva really can choke someone, huh.

Fortunately, she only coughed for a short while.

Seeing the man look at her intently, she could not help but spill her thoughts out.

“Did you choke on your saliva earlier?”

The initially dark look of the man darkened further at her words, looking especially scary.

“I’m not as stupid as you are to choke on my saliva, you dumb woman,” he spoke through gritted teeth before turning over and refusing to look at her.

She slowly reacted. She had ticked him off!

However, what did she say to tick him off?

Was choking on one’s saliva so humiliating a matter?

And – And what rights does he have to say I am dumb?! That’s too much! Really too much! In what way am I dumb?!

With this, she completely discarded Lily’s words and continued the journey to the banquet with anger in her heart.

“CEO Ji, we are here.”

When the car finally stopped, Du Wen alighted from it and respectfully opened the door for Ji Ziming.

Since she was wearing shoes with thick heels this time, Pei Ge did not wait for Ji Ziming to get off the car and a.s.sist her out of it. Instead, she opened the other door and steadily alighted from the car herself.

Once Ji Ziming was out of the car, he stretched his hand inside as he had done last time, hoping for Pei Ge to hold his hand.

Who knew that she had already alighted from the other side, though?

“…” His face grew cold in that instant, and the atmosphere around him thickened.

This d.a.m.n woman!

With a sullen face, he retracted his hand very unhappily.

When Du Wen, who was standing at the side, saw his boss’s embarra.s.sing moment, he hastily lowered his head and pretended not to have noticed the scene.

Despite that, he could not help but complain inside, Aiya, Miss Pei really… is indescribable! So many people want to jump onto my big boss, yet she seems not to care about him at all.

How big was his heart?

When Pei Ge walked over to Ji Ziming’s side and saw his ugly expression, she made a note to steer far away from him.

This annoying person is so short-tempered; I’d better keep my distance from him, lest he find fault in me.

He pursed his lips when he noticed her action and narrowed his eyes at her shoes.

Hmph! Next time, the shoes…

For some reason, she felt a strange discomfort when she saw him eyeing her shoes.

Why did she suddenly feel chills and so much discomfort in her legs?
