Chapter 2862  : Power outage

“Oh, Mr. Ji. Are … Are you here to deliver my food?” She rubbed the glass of water in her hand repeatedly in confusion. She then hesitantly pointed at the takeaway box in his hand.

Under the illumination of the lights, his face turned even redder.

He widened his eyes at her question and thought, Aiya, how could I forget such a good excuse?

It was all his fault for being too engrossed in her voice and smile that he could not recall anything at all.

He coughed lightly, pretended to calm down, and said,””MMM…Mm, that’s right. I was having a video conference upstairs when I suddenly felt a little hungry, so I called for takeaway. It’s because the things in this shop … Hmm …”

He quickly lowered his head to check which store the takeaway box was from.

Because he suddenly remembered the deliveryman’s praise, he pointed to the bag and said,””Oh, it’s from the ten thousand maple hotel! Do you know? This was takeaway from a five-star hotel. It was very difficult to place an order, and it had to be ordered for two before it was delivered. When I came down to get it, I saw that the lights in your design department were still on, so I brought it here. ”

“This … CEO Ji …” She was dumbfounded. Pointing at the bag, she hesitated. She really felt that the man was acting strange from the start.

Seeing that she was still skeptical, he quickly added,””Look at how dark your face was when I asked you to work overtime this afternoon. Just take it that I’m showing concern for my subordinates. Come on, open it and eat it while it’s hot!”

As he spoke, he placed all the bags on the table and opened them.””PEI GE, what are you still standing there for? quickly come over and eat!”

At this moment, he was not like the cold and domineering CEO he was in the morning. He was unusually warm and gentle with her.

PEI GE’s brows furrowed slightly as she scratched the back of her head. She then put down the cup in her hand and walked toward the table.

She felt embarrassed when he enthusiastically called her to hurry up and eat. He even opened the bags one by one and arranged the lunchboxes neatly. She quickly rolled up her sleeves and helped him with the arrangements.

A few minutes later, the two large bags of food were placed on the table.

The two looked at the table full of food with drooling eyes.

Good Lord, the food in this five-star hotel was really not for show. Once it was set up, the aroma instantly filled the entire office.

“Gululu …” The two of them were only focused on the food, but their stomachs rumbled in unison. The two of them quickly covered their stomachs in embarrassment and looked at each other.

“Alright, you can start now. You see, your body is not like ours, very honest! Let’s hurry and eat. ” Ji Ziming said happily.

PEI GE was dazed by his smile, which looked even more handsome under the lights.

When the man suddenly placed a piece of food by her mouth, he gently said,””Pei Pei, come, try it!”

“Ah!”

When the chopsticks reached her mouth, she suddenly cried out in surprise, pulling herself out of her thoughts.

Only then did she see that it was Ji Ziming’s hand. She quickly pushed his hand away and awkwardly said,””Oh, CEO Ji, no need. I’ll do it myself!”

As she said that, she quickly picked up her chopsticks, picked up some food into her bowl, and began to eat with all her might.

“What do you think of the taste?” Ji Ziming asked warmly as he watched her eat with relish.

She merely nodded her head repeatedly as she stuffed the food into her mouth and did not answer his question.

Perhaps because she was eating too fast, she suddenly choked.””Argh! Cough cough!”

She put down her bowl and chopsticks in a hurry and patted her chest with a pained expression.

He quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, walked around the table, and stood beside her. Naturally, he patted her back with his large, comfortable hand and asked gently,””You’re an adult, yet you’re eating like a child. No one’s snatching food from you!”

As he said this, he quickly grabbed the empty cup on the table and went to the pantry to pour her a glass of water.””Come, quickly drink it!” As he said this, he passed the cup to her.

PEI GE’s face was sullen, but it was really uncomfortable to choke, so she could only take the glass of water he passed to her.

After drinking the water, she was about to raise her head to thank him when her eyes met his deep and mesmerizing ones. The warmth and concern in his eyes made her feel as if she had been struck by an electric current, and it pierced her heart.

Her pink cheeks quickly bloomed.””Thank you!”

She didn’t dare to look into his eyes and only said these two words in a deep voice.

“Pei Pei, you’re really mesmerizing like this!” He was so mesmerized by her that he could not help but reach out to touch her hair.

With the glass of water still in her hands, she stared at him with wide eyes, unable to say a word. In that instant, she felt her heart beat rapidly.

The man suddenly closed his eyes and inched his face closer to her red lips. Their breathing became clearer.

“You …” Seeing that he was about to press his lips against hers, she could only mumble the word ‘you’ with her mouth slightly open.

His right hand gently held her chin as he mumbled in a magnetic and charming voice,”Pei Pei, I love you … I’ve always loved you …”

Just as their lips were about to touch, she pushed him away.””President Ji! Please conduct yourself with dignity!”

His eyes flew open at this push.””Oh, I … Just now …”

“President Ji, thank you for the meal! Well … I’m done eating, but I still have to edit the script. If you don’t have anything else, I’ll get back to work. ” She did not even look at him as she coldly rejected him and walked back to her desk.

“I’m sorry, Pei Pei. I was just …” He wanted to explain, but his brows furrowed again.

“Mr. Ji, I really don’t want to work late. If there’s nothing else, you should go back first.” She asked him to leave again.

“Alright, then … I’ll go up first.” After he said this awkwardly, his deep eyes dimmed as if they were dyed with a faint layer of disappointment.

His hands, which had no place to rest, returned to the sides of his body as he walked out of her office in a Huff.

Who knew that just as she reached the office door, all the lights in the entire office suddenly went out!

“What’s going on? Why is there a sudden power outage?” She exclaimed when the room suddenly turned dark.

“Pei Pei, don’t worry. The circuit may have tripped. I’ll go and take a look.” Ji Ziming’s eyes widened as he looked at the ceiling.
