Chapter 324: We seem to have kissed indirectly!

Ji Ziming did not notice how resentful he looked.
Pei Ge, whose eyes were trained on her computer, also did not realize it.
He stared at her fiercely and then took big strides to his office.
Peng! A loud banging sound echoed as he slammed the door shut, as if he wanted to let a certain someone know of his anger.
The loud sound caused He Yan and Lu Huiya to turn involuntarily. Only she did not react to it as she merely continued typing on the keyboard.
Qie! That childish and annoying person! Besides docking pay, grimacing, and slamming doors, what else does he know to do?! Hmph! Childish!
She would soon discover that his childishness could go far.
“Go to the Planning Department and retrieve a document for me.”
“You retrieved the wrong document.”
“Go and…”
Her internal landline rang nonstop this entire afternoon.
Poor Pei Ge was stuck in a loop of answering the phone, running an errand, getting scolded, running an errand again, and repeating the entire process.
Ding, ling, ling!
She had just sat down and had yet to catch her breath when her landline rang again.
Without thinking about it, she knew that the caller was that annoying person.
“Hello, CEO Ji, is there something else you need?” She grimaced as she picked up the phone.
“Brew me a cup of coffee.” His deep and cool voice came through the phone clearly.
She took a deep, calming breath and then stood up from her seat.
She grimaced again at He Yan and Lu Huiya’s pitying look and entered the CEO’s office.
She walked into pantry inside the CEO’s office and poured coffee beans into the coffee machine with much familiarity.
Arghhhh, that annoying person! Next time, I’ll definitely call him a petty and childish ghost!
To think he would mess with her like this just because she rejected his invitation to attend an event! She was absolutely left speechless!
He looks so decent in those finance magazines, but I beg to differ! He is more childish than a primary school kid! she spat inwardly as she brewed him coffee.
He was clearly so good in the morning; taking care of her wound and letting her hitch a ride to the office… However, right now, he was torturing her like this just because she rejected him once.
Crazy!
Pak! In her anger, she completely forgot what she was doing.
After the coffee was brewed, she added lots and lots of sugar.
By the time she returned to her senses, half a container of sugar had already been used and the coffee pot was now swimming with all of it.
“Eh….” She was silent for three seconds as she eyed the coffee with steamy bubbles and then quickly put the sugar container aside.
Oh, no! I put too much sugar in it!
She cried with no tears as she looked at the pot of coffee and could already anticipate another scolding from that annoying person.
Self-pitying Pei Ge decided, I’ll leave it be!
With this decision, she added lots of milk into the coffee as well.
“Okay!” After stirring the content of the pot thoroughly, she looked at the light brown coffee with satisfaction and poured it into a cup before she brought it out.
“CEO Ji, your coffee.” She placed the coffee cup on his desk with a neutral expression.
Without raising his head, he coldly acknowledged, “Mhm. You can leave now.”
“Alright.” She secretly twitched her mouth in his direction before turning to leave.
She had not walked out of the office door when an unhappy voice came from behind.
“Stop right there!”
“CEO Ji, is there something else?” She turned to smile at him.
“This is the coffee you brewed?” He frowningly looked at her.
“Yes, ever since giving me your input before, I have taken it upon myself to watch some online tutorials on how to brew coffee,” she volunteered this information with a professional smile.
“… I clearly remember telling you that I don’t add sugar and milk to my coffee.” His stare on her was probing as he said this coldly.
“Oh, of course, I remember, too. However, I noticed that you don’t seem to be in a good mood today, so I decided to add some sweet stuff to your coffee, as it is known to uplift one’s mood,” she explained with a serious look that seemed to say, “I’m only thinking for you when I added some sugar and milk into your coffee.”
At her expression, even though he knew that it was fake, and that her true thoughts of him were not that good, a wave of happiness still filled his heart.
He involuntarily picked up the cup of light brown coffee and raised it to his lips.
However, it was just a light sip, but the coffee’s sweet and greasy taste overwhelmed his mouth.
The hint of bitterness in the Blue Mountain coffee was completely gone.
He swallowed a mouthful of this coffee with much difficulty and shot her an unhappy look.
“You did this on purpose!” How was this adding just a bit of sugar?! She clearly added an entire container of sugar to my coffee!
“What did I do on purpose? Is it not sweet enough?” she asked while blinking her eyes innocently.
She would never admit to doing it on purpose. If she did, who knew what this petty and annoying person would do to her for revenge?
Besides, she truly did not do it on purpose at first. It was by accident that she added half a container of sugar to his coffee.
“Try drinking the coffee that you brewed yourself!” he demanded in his anger.
“Oh.” She obediently walked to his desk and picked up the cup that he had just drunk from.
Seeing how she did not mind drinking from his coffee cup, the anger in his heart faded a little.
Gu, lu, gu, lu! She finished the cup of coffee in one gulp.
“Tastes sweet; very delicious!” she said happily.
“…” He was slightly stunned by her bright smile upon finishing the coffee.
Without a trace of artificiality, she looked carefree when she smiled.
“CEO Ji, when you finish a cup of this, especially at once, your mood will definitely improve.” With that, she refilled the coffee cup to the brim.
Only after refilling the cup with coffee and serving it to him did she realize what she had just thoughtlessly and shamelessly done.
She actually refilled the cup he had just used! More importantly, she herself had drunk from it, too! Now, she was passing over that very cup to the man for him to drink on!
