Chapter 1558: 1558
Chapter 1558: Because I feel heartache for you .
“I understand . Then, I will go change my clothes first before coming back . Is that alright?”
Qu Jingwan pressed her red lips slightly as she arched an eyebrow . “I will listen and do everything you order me from now on . This company is Ziming’s, so how can I make him lose face?”
The manager was surprised by the quick change in her attitude . It was as though she were a different person from the one who had harshly scolded the male manager moments ago .
“Alright . I am glad for the CEO that Miss Qu is this mature . You may go change first . I will give you further orders after you are done changing . ”
“Sounds good . ”
The other nodded, her black eyes flashing with wicked iciness .
Meanwhile, Ji Ziming was sitting in the VIP ward, talking to He Yun on the phone .
“Sir, Miss Qu wore an expensive outfit in the office today . According to your orders, Manager Wang brought her for a round in several departments . Now, everyone knows that she’s from an affluent family . Ellie reported that the missy had harshly scolded Manager Wang in front of so many employees . ”
“Add two million to Manager Wang’s year-end bonus . ”
The man raised an eyebrow as he continued in his low voice . “No, forget about that . Add one million to his salary this month and two million to his year-end bonus . ”
“Sir, does it have to be that much?”
He Yun was a little suspicious of his boss . Did he really need to give that manager that much? Moreover, the female manager was the one who had settled the issue in the end .
“Yes, we do . He is a talent . Have you forgotten that he’s the one who insisted on hiring Ellie?”
The man turned to look at Pei Ge’s ward . She should be with the three children right now .
“Alright . I will inform the general manager now . ”
“Oh, right . Give her the same reward . ”
He walked toward the ward . His tall stature was stretched further in his reflection on the white-tiled floor . On his handsome features, his thin lips parted open . “If anyone is unhappy with today’s events, continue adding to that by a million at a time . ”
He hung up after he was done speaking and quickened his steps toward his woman’s ward .
By making her appear in front of the crowd in such a manner, it was already obvious who the CEO’s wife was between her and Pei Ge . He only needed to do something small to make her lose her cool and patience . Who knew what would happen if this continued further?
“Daddy, is the red dress or the white dress nicer?”
Seeing him enter, Ran Ran quickly picked up two identical-looking skirts and showed them to him . She blinked her large and beautiful eyes . The clarity in them resembled the one in Pei Ge’s so much . “Say something . ”
“I think the white is nicer . ”
He carried his daughter up and set her on his bent elbow before reaching out to pinch her adorable cheek . “Our little girl is the most beautiful princess no matter what you wear . ”
“Really?”
She smiled at him and excitedly asked, “Mommy says this red is nicer; who should I listen to?”

“Which one does our baby girl like?”
“I like both,” admitted his daughter . The hesitation in her eyes made his eyes turn warm .
“Then, wear both . How about you wear the white today and the red tomorrow?”
“Okay!”
She excitedly hugged the two dresses to her chest . Her excited look made the woman, who was sitting on the bed, smile, too . “My dear daughter, come to mommy . ”
He walked over to the bed . Looking at the wound which had just been redressed by the nurse, he asked, “Does it still hurt?”
“It doesn’t anymore . The nurse said that it’s about to scab . The wound is fine as long as it doesn’t touch water . I will be able to leave the hospital by tomorrow . ”
“Let’s get you discharged once you are fully healed . ”
“Why?”
She could not understand why he was unwilling to let her return to the company when she was able to move freely now . She was even not present in court when Huang Zhian was tried .
Right now, she was akin to a canary in a golden cage—unable to go or hide anywhere .
“Because I feel pained for you . ”

As expected, the moment he said this, Pei Ge stopped talking and merely rolled her eyes at him .
“How corny . ”
“What about it? Don’t you like me, anyway?”
“Daddy is acting like a ruffian! Hng! Stupid daddy!”
The girl quickly covered her ears upon hearing him say such words, wanting to push him away now and run back to her room .
“Go find your older brothers to play with . Your mommy and I have something to discuss . ”
His eyes darkened at little . The seriousness on his face made his daughter quickly jump down the bed and run out of the door . While running, she even shouted, “Daddy is being a ruffian; I hate daddy the most!”
Once the girl was gone, he told the woman why he had not allowed her to get discharged . After he explained all his reasons, Pei Ge slowly asked, “How is Qu Jingwan doing at the company now?”
“Exactly as what you are thinking . ”
He slowly strode over to the windows . His dark eyes were dyed with the warmth of the sunlight as he looked at her . “Don’t you want to know why I am doing this?”
“On the surface, you are giving her sufficient face and allowing her to be Miss Qu . In truth, you merely want to use Manager Wang and the chauffeur’s hands to expose all her weaknesses to the people in the Ji Group . I think you’re going overboard and it’s unfair to her . Still, I like it . ”
“Hmph!”
He lightly snorted before quickly walking toward her . Stopping before her, he lowered his head and planted a soft kiss on her lips . “I am doing all of this for you . ”
“I know . ”
It was because the woman knew that he was trustworthy that she could calmly cooperate with him even when she was being threatened by Huang Zhian . From beginning to end, she knew that she had already taken roots in his heart .
Just as Ji Ziming moved to say something more, Pei Ge’s handphone, which was on the side table, rang . It was a foreign number, with not even an area code .
“Hello?”
When she picked up the call, only to hear nothing from the other end except for wind .
“Hello?” she asked again . This time, there was the sound of mechanical whirring .
“Is anyone there? Can you hear me?”
