Chapter 242: CEO Ji has really developed feelings for her.

“Du Wen.” Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes with displeasure at his assistant.

Du Wen returned to his senses when he felt Ji Ziming’s intimidating aura and could not help but shiver in fear.

Inside, he cried without tears, Du Wen, ah, Du Wen. What were you staring at the boss’s woman for? Are you tired of living? You know full well how much CEO Ji cares for Miss Pei, so how can you still have the guts to look at her like that?

“CEO Ji, Miss Pei, please get in the car.” Du Wen lowered his head and did not dare to take another glance at her as he respectfully ushered them in.

“Mhm,” Ji Ziming hummed in acknowledgment and scrutinized Du Wen. Inside, he was thinking, This assistant of mine seems to have a lot of free time recently...

Sensing his boss’s gaze on him, a foreboding rose from Du Wen’s heart.

After Ji Ziming helped Pei Ge into the car and got in himself, Du Wen sighed in relief and sprayed some mouth freshener into his mouth.

He then took out another freshener and sprayed it on himself. He only got into the car once he was sure that he no longer smelled of cigarette.

The car quickly drove off to a restaurant located in a garden that only the rich and the wealthy in the capital knew of.

Pei Ge, who was sitting beside Ji Ziming and gazing at the passing scenery outside, was thinking inside, The banquet... should have lots of delicious food, right?

A banquet, aye. In TV shows, banquets always have lots of desserts and delicious food...

She uncontrollably swallowed at this thought.

Ji Ziming noticed that Pei Ge kept on licking her lips and swallowing and assumed that she was feeling nervous.

However, when her stomach started rumbling, he realized that he had thought wrongly.

Grumble! A weird sound echoed within the car.

As it was too quiet in the car, the grumbling sound easily traveled into the ears of all three occupants.

She self-consciously covered her stomach when she heard it rumble.

When she received his gaze, she abashedly explained, “He he... That – That... I feel a little hungry.”

Hearing that, he thought with amusement, It is impossible for this clueless and insensitive woman to feel nervous! Her swallowing action from just now is certainly because she’s feeling hungry.

“... You haven’t eaten yet?” He lightly frowned and looked at her questioningly.

The moment he asked this question, she immediately started complaining, “Of course, I haven’t. You had someone rush me so much that I didn’t even get a bite of the freshly cooked lunch at home. Right now, my stomach is practically empty.”

And here you’re pretending not to know about it? You are too much!

Ji Ziming icily turned his gaze on Du Wen, who was driving the car.

“Du Wen...” he called out. Although his voice was soft, a chilly air could be felt from it.

From just his voice alone, one could tell that he was enraged.

“CEO – CEO Ji! I – I didn’t do it on purpose. I only thought that time might be a little tight, so I...” Knowing what his boss was furious about, Du Wen was currently in agony inside.

He initially thought his boss was only viewing Pei Ge as something of a passing novelty and would, therefore, not care much about her wellbeing, but today made him realize how utterly mistaken he was!

How was this just a passing novelty? Ji Ziming probably already had feelings for her, or he would not treasure her to the point of not wanting other’s gaze to linger on her a moment longer.

Feeling the imposing aura stagnating in the car and seeing Ji Ziming’s furious glare at Du Wen, she decided to act as a mediator. “CEO Ji, actually, Assistant Du is not in the wrong. Work is more important, after all.”

Du Wen gave her a grateful look through the rearview mirror when he heard this.

“Hmph!” He narrowed his eyes at Du Wen as he started deliberating unhappily inside what punishment he should give the latter.

Noticing that Ji Ziming looked as if he had dropped this matter, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Although Du Wen did not let her have her lunch or change her clothes, he still treated her pretty well.

She did not wish for him to meet with some unfortunate event just because of such a small issue.

Still... This annoying fellow’s temper is as unpredictable as before. He smiles and gets angry for no reason. I am really curious what kind of woman can handle this temperamental man in the future.

In such a strange atmosphere, the car reached the venue of the banquet.

Wearing a marten fur overcoat and getting off the car, a gigantic building immediately entered her eyes.

Pei Ge was filled with confusion as she scrutinized the building before her.

She grew up in the capital, so she naturally knew of this building, but this was her first time knowing that one could hold banquets in this place.

I always thought that this place is some mysterious office building...

“Let’s go in.” The calm and composed Ji Ziming held out his hand for Pei Ge, who was staring dazedly at the building before her.

“Mhm.” She nodded her head and gently placed her palm into his.

The instant his strong hand made contact with her soft one, Ji Ziming’s expression involuntarily turned gentler.

His quick and large strides considerably slowed down because of the little woman he was holding.

Du Wen looked at the pair’s backs and muttered, “I really didn’t expect for Miss Pei to actually look so good after dressing up and to appear suitable beside CEO Ji!”

Gently holding her hand, Ji Ziming entered the lobby of the building. Pei Ge noted the extravagant furnishings and laid-back atmosphere of the place and confirmed to herself that this was definitely not some office building.

It seems to be a place for entertainment...

With a heart full of curiosity, she followed behind the man and entered the elevator.
