Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

“I’m truly not lying to you.
What I said is the truth.
I know that you think that he hates me and the one responsible for your mother’s condition, but he truly got my mom out of prison.”

When she heard this, she kept reminding herself that all her cousin’s words were lies.
She was merely lying to her, yet she could not stop her steps from faltering.

This was unrelated to trust but due to her loving Ji Ziming too much, instead.

Hence, even if she knew that all her cousin’s words were lies, she still felt uncomfortable.

What she did not expect, though, was that the latter’s next words would cause her trust in the man to waver.

“I know that you don’t believe that I have the ability to make him help me, but you must know that, although I don’t have that ability, there is someone else who does.”

Even if she did not turn around, Pei Shishi still knew that the other was affected from the way she halted and stood there, motionless.

“Qiao Jingyun.” She said this name.

At that instant, when she heard this name, Pei Ge’s heart paused and then accelerated.

“Although I don’t like her, I must admit that her standing in Ji Ziming’s heart is special.
For her sake, he can even do something to hurt you, lie to you, and—”

Her cousin was unable to finish her words because she cut her off.

Turning around, she said, “You’re speaking rubbish! He isn’t like that!”

She glared at her cousin furiously, her expression showing the boiling rage in her.

“I’m speaking rubbish? I have evidence.” Her anger had the effect of calming her cousin.

“Has he been absent from your side recently and even disappeared for some time?”

“…” She froze at this.

Before she could defend him, her expression turned even uglier at Pei Shishi’s next words.

“He probably told you that he has matters to attend at the company, right?”

“…That’s none of your business!”

She pursed her lips and regarded her cousin coldly.

“Yes, that’s indeed none of my business, but I just can’t bear seeing you getting cheated by him any longer,” uttered Pei Shishi slowly.
“I used to think that he truly likes you and wants to marry you, but when I went to ask Qiao Jingyun for help yesterday, I found out that you are only a shield he got for her.”

“What do you mean?!”

Her palms balled up into fists.
A rational part of her was saying that she should stop listening to this and leave right now.

Alas, her emotions stopped her feet from moving, making her unable to take even one step out of this place as she stared fixedly at her cousin.

“Ji Ziming isn’t on a business trip.
He’s just been with Qiao Jingyun lately.”

Within the grand living room, the warm rays of the sun streamed in through the windows.

However, these sunbeams did not provide her with warmth.

Rather, her heart turned icy.

The ice in her heart could not be thawed, making her heart turn colder by the second…

“If you don’t believe me, you can give him a call now.”

Her cousin’s eyes shone with confusion at her stony expression, thinking that she did not believe her.

“Why…” she quietly mumbled.

“What ‘why’?”

This made her cousin inquire in confusion.

“Why is he with her?”

She stared at her cousin with cold and blank eyes.
Her face held no excess expression.

All her face wore was iciness and despair.

Pei Shishi felt goosebumps rise from her heart from this gaze.

“O-Of course, it’s…” The cold goosebumps she felt caused her to tremble.
“It’s because Qiao Jingyun is pregnant!”

This revelation should have been shocking, yet Pei Ge did not show the expected reaction.

It was as though her words and those people had nothing to do with the other.

Her lack of response caused Pei Shishi to frown.
Thinking that she did not believe her, she continued explaining in detail.

“She’s pregnant, and the child is Ji Ziming’s.
As her pregnancy is still in its early stages, they keep making trips at the hospital recently.”

This time, her statement was no longer just shocking—it was explosive!

Alas, the other still did not give any excessive reaction.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?! Do you still think that I’m lying to you?! If you don’t believe me, I can bring you to the hospital that woman is in right now!”

The other’s lack of response caused her to panic.

At this moment, Pei Ge finally spoke again.
“You’ve hated me for a long time.
You even resent me.
Now that he has abandoned and betrayed me, why are you panicking?”

She chuckled and kept looking at her cousin expressionlessly.

This caused the latter’s expression to falter, but she soon schooled her expression to normalcy.

“Yes, you are right.
I do hate you.
I’m telling you this not because I truly pity you but merely to see you in pain and suffering.
Unexpectedly…” She nudged her lips in disappointment.
“You actually didn’t show any reaction.
What a disappointment!”

Pei Ge coldly smirked at this.

“Heh… My apologies for disappointing you, then.
