Chapter 74 - I will not haggle with a pregnant woman.
“The CEO got a woman pregnant…”
Pei Ge felt a headache coming on from the woman’s words. Just as Pei Ge moved to interrogate the woman on who was spreading such rumors, her next words caused Pei Ge to stop in her tracks.
“How did you know?”
“Aye! I got off work pretty late yesterday and happened to see a pregnant woman look for our CEO Ji and ask him to take responsibility!”
“Is that true?! That’s some big news!”
“Of course! How would I dare spread rumors about our big boss? It’s all true! This is definitely an honest and accurate account. There are others who witnessed it last night, too!”
“My gosh… Then, there’s really going to be a good show this time!”
Pei Ge was usually tolerant of Bi Zheng’s behavior. However, as she was in a very bad mood right now, she did not have the patience to spare for him. Hence, all of Pei Ge’s accumulated displeasure at Bi Zheng burst out this instant.
“Are you even a man?! Always nagging and haggling. ‘You can’t do this’. ‘Not that, either’—I’ve never seen a fussier man than you! Oh, no. I’ve actually never seen a fussier woman than you as well!”
Bi Zheng did not react at all to her words, as though the person Pei Ge was speaking about had nothing to do with him.
“I really don’t want to say this about you, but your name is really very appropriate. ‘Bi Zheng’ sounds like ‘must fight’, and you really do fight for everything! When will you ever not fight for something?! You’re already a working adult, yet you’re still acting like a primary school student! Drawing out specific lines to circle your territory every day. Seriously…”
Pei Ge spat at Bi Zheng for so long that her throat had gone parched. Bi Zheng, who had a calm expression on his face through all this, finally spoke up, “Are you done talking?”
“… I think I’m done.” Pei Ge’s urge to continue bellowing was instantly extinguished by Bi Zheng’s calm question.
“Are you feeling better now?” Bi Zheng continued staring at Pei Ge with a straight face.
“… I’m sorry.” Pei Ge sheepishly stared at Bi Zheng’s stoic face now that she had calmed down.
I really shouldn’t have flared up at an innocent person…
“It’s fine; I won’t haggle with a pregnant woman.”
“Pwuh!” Pei Ge felt as though blood were clogging up her throat. “You! How did you know that?!”
She was really about to break down now! Never in her wildest dream did she think that a third person would find out about her pregnancy!
