Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire Chapter 1234 - How great it would be if they never had misunderstandings.

Chapter 1234: How great it would be if they never had misunderstandings.

As she watched the man in the apron busy himself, Pei Ge felt warmth and peace.
This was a feeling that she had never felt with another man.
Despite how well Egger treated her, she just did not develop feelings for him.
No matter what his feelings for her were, she never… felt her heartbeat accelerate for him, yet she could easily feel it when she was with Ji Ziming…
As she thought of this, the expression on her face softened.
How great would it have been if there had been no misunderstandings between them?
How great would it have been if all those things had not happened then?
How great would it have been… if there had been no Qiao Jingyun between them?
How great would it have been if Ping An had not died…
Alas, there were no ifs in this world.
At this thought, the expression on her face grew increasingly sorrowful.
She knew that she was being too sentimental.
If they loved each other, why… did they have to bother with all these?
Unfortunately, she could not get past herself.
She did not know how to get past the loss of her child…
She would think of her lost child whenever she was with him.
The child that… she and this man had caused to die.
“Pei Ge?”
Ji Ziming only realized that she was standing at the kitchen door with a complex expression when he was bringing the dishes out.
“Are you done cooking?”
She smiled after she returned to her senses and saw him carrying a tray in his hands.
“Yes. Let’s eat.”
He nodded and brought her to the dining room.
As she sat down at the table and looked at the four dishes placed on it, she sighed to herself.
Everything he made was food she liked…
Whether it was five years ago or now, her taste had not changed, and this man still remembered all of it.
“I don’t know what you like to eat now, so I made what you liked to eat in the past, but you can tell me what you like to eat now; that way, I can make it for you next time.”
He gently told her when he saw that she was not eating.
His voice carried a tinge of caution, and Pei Ge felt her heart soften again.
This man used to be so cold and sure of himself, but now he moved with uncertainty around her, and this was something she was unused to.
“It’s fine. I’ve had too much Western food, so I like it as long as it’s Chinese cuisine.”
As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks and took a portion of the dishes closest to her.
She took her first bite of food under Ji Ziming’s expectant gaze.
“It’s so delicious.”
She looked at him with a smile, but as if thinking of something, she quickly retracted her smile.
“Have you cooked for women other than me? Is that how you got into their good books?”
“Hm?”
The man’s brows moved slightly when he heard her words and looked at her with a confused expression.
“I’m only willing to cook for you.”
“What about the last time with your girlfriend?”
He paused when he heard her question.
“…She’s not my girlfriend.”
He looked at her strangely, his expression complex.
“Ah? Don’t tell me that you found someone to look like me in order to spite me?”
Seeing the honesty on his face, she raised a brow. The expression on her face seemed to be asking, “Are you serious? You actually did something like that?”
“Weren’t it you?” He was a little confused by now.
He thought that it was Pei Ge’s idea in an attempt to confuse him.
That was why he was so upset.
That was why he had gone along with it and let that imposter delude herself into thinking that she was his girlfriend.
In reality, he hated her.
He wanted to ruin her fake face whenever he saw her with Pei Ge’s face.
No one other than his woman herself had the right to carry that face!
“Huh? Me?”
She paused at that.
“Ji Ziming, what do you mean? What do you mean by it’s me? Why would I mess around with you like that?”
“…But it wasn’t me either,” replied the man coldly after a pause.
By now, he had a faint idea in his mind.
Someone was likely out to separate the two of them.
This was the same person who had been preventing him from finding her all these years…
“If neither of us did it, then who did?”
She was confused. Who exactly was responsible for that imposter’s appearance in their life?
Why did she make herself look like her?
“Don’t worry about it; I’ll look into this matter.”
The man narrowed his eyes. He was already collating a list of suspects in his mind.
By process of elimination, he found that the person most likely responsible for this was… Pei Ge’s ‘husband’. He was the likely candidate for this grand scheme…
Very well. He must meet that person!
He would like to know who dared to get between him and his woman!
…
“Boss, Miss Pei has been held captive by Mr. Ji in his private lodge…”
In the dark, Pei Ge’s look-alike sat in a medium-sized room and took the call expressionlessly.
Instead of her sweet and docile disposition, she now looked deterring.
This made her face look distinct.
“I know; I’ve been keeping tabs. He has her completely sealed off, so I can’t get in.”
“You’re coming over?!”
“Alright. I understand.”
…
New York.
“Seems that it’s time for me to take a trip back to China…”
