Chapter 206 -She is not her. She cannot be her.
Pei Ge was completely unaware that a certain CEO was standing behind her and furtively watching her like an idiot.
Once she was done cleaning the ugly red fish, she placed it in a pot and cooked it the way she usually did.
After leaving the fish to boil in the pot, she began chopping the vegetables that she would sauté.
Da, da, da! The sound of the knife continuously hitting the chopping board filled the kitchen.
It added warmth into the quiet kitchen.
Ji Ziming, who only ate and had never seen his meal being prepared firsthand, found the way she busied herself in the kitchen rather interesting.
The lighting in the kitchen was good, too. Sunlight filtered through the window and bathed her in golden glow, making everything seem homey.
“You… Are you alright?” she gulped and asked softly.
Seeing her cautious manner, he lowered his eyes and let go of her warm and soft hand.
She’s not her. She can’t be her.
Unknowingly, emptiness gripped his heart the moment that soft and warm palm left his grip.
Rudely getting pushed away again, she merely rolled her eyes.
Must he always act like this every time? He also behaved like this in the office elevator before! Hmph! Just like that time, I’m not the one who grabbed him this time, too!
“CEO Ji, the food will get cold if you don’t eat it now,” she said in a voice filled with unhappiness.
“Mhm.” He could tell that she was a little miffed. He wanted to say something, but he eventually merely hummed his assent before turning around.
Pei Ge looked the man’s long and broad back. Despite him wearing a hospital gown, he did not lose any of his coolness.
Hmph! I will only let it go this time since you got injured because of me!
