Chapter 141: A Very Innocent Tactic against Wolves

Ji Ziming looked at Pei Ge’s fists and his anger boiled further.

“Putting on this toy is useless.” He gripped her wrist more tightly as he said this.

What exactly is this damn woman thinking about?!

Pei Ge’s mouth twitched and she lightly snorted. “What useless? If I didn’t find out that it was you, you think I would let you off the hook so easily?”

“Eh?” He was stunned by her words.

The look on his face made Pei Ge roll her eyes. “I knew it was you a long time ago.”

When she looked backward, she realized that the person stalking her was none other than the annoying fellow who had chased her out of the car.

However, even after she had identified him, she still decided to give him a little lesson.

Thus, she pretended not to know that it was him and lightly sprayed him with the pepper substance the moment he got near her.

She planned to give him a light punch to vent her anger, yet this annoying person unexpectedly had fast reflexes.

“If it weren’t for that, do you think you could escape my pepper spray?” Pei Ge lifted her chin and look at the speechless Ji Ziming smugly.

“… Where did you learn this… nonsense?” He released her wrist in exasperation as he felt a strong headache coming on.

“Self-defense technique for women! I’ve studied it well!” she proudly answered.

He looked at her proud expression and took a deep breath. Suppressing the anger bobbling within him, he asked coolly, “You think such basic technique will work in a real dangerous situation?”

“Of course! CEO Ji, don’t look down on my two items. If it weren’t you but a real stalker following me, instead, I would definitely cripple him!” she retorted when she saw his disbelieving look.

“Take a proper look! I’m going to demonstrate it this one time for you!”

She did not wait for his response and just took action.

“If I meet a bad guy, I will spray his face with this pepper without mercy. I will then take the chance when he is paralyzed for thirty seconds to give him a punch!” As she was saying this, she took a few steps backward and swung her fist in front of him.

Her fist sailed forward rather smoothly, and it seemed to pack a punch.

“Lastly, I will call the police!” She clapped her hands proudly and revealed a satisfied expression, as though she had really caught a criminal.

Under the moonlight, her happy and proud face was flushed from all the exercise, making her look especially charming.

Ji Ziming’s face, however, grew colder at her current state.

“Why? Do you think it’s a pity that I’m the person behind you?” he asked coldly.

“A little.” She nodded. In truth, she felt relieved that the one following her was him.

“Pei Ge, do you have a brain or what?! You think that these two things can make you invincible? Don’t you know that there is something called ‘unexpected’?! What if there were two of them? What would you do? You really think you can win against a man? I think you are so dumb that no medicine can cure you!” Pei Ge’s words infuriated him so much that he could no longer hold himself back from scolding her.

She was taken aback by his scolding. If it were someone else, she might be willing to accept their chastisement, but it was regrettably Ji Ziming.

After the man’s earlier treatment of her, she was totally unwilling to accept his censure.

Thus, she jerked her head up and retorted fiercely, “How is this any of your business?! If it weren’t for you, would I be on this road this late at night?! Don’t act all righteous with me! Get lost!”

She shot him an evil glare and stalked past him.

“Pei Ge!” He was really going to lose it with this woman. When she walked off, he clenched his fist and chased after her.

“Get in the car; I’ll send you home!” He walked alongside her and coldly said this.

“No! After all, I am not worthy of riding the car of CEO Ji!” She kept her gaze fixed ahead and did not look in his direction.

“Get in!” He pulled at her wrist to make her look at him.

Pei Ge vigorously shook her hand. When she could not break free, she lifted her head and angrily demanded, “Let go! I’m not getting in your car ever again!”

He did not say anything in response and merely looked at her.

“Let go! My house is just around the corner!” Seeing that he had no intention of letting go of her wrist, she laughed dryly. “Why, CEO Ji, you’re holding my hand very tightly. Don’t tell me you have feelings for me?”

Who knew that her words would cause him to fling her hand off? It was as though he were disgusted by the idea.

His reaction made her slightly unhappy and she pouted inwardly. Qie! I was just joking. Did he have to react like that? Hmph!

Pei Ge quickly ran off when she saw him deep in thought.

When he finally returned to his senses, her figure was already far away.

He moistened his lips and quickly followed her.

On this dark road with flickering lamps, a man and a woman walked forward with some distance between them.

The moonlight cast a long shadow on the two and made everything seem harmonious.

The two, one in front and another at the back, were like a couple who had just finished an argument.

Soon, Pei Ge arrived at the entrance to her house’s neighborhood and saw the brightly lit security booth.

“Ge Ge, why are you out so late?” The night-shift security guard was Grandpa Ge. Although he was getting on in years, he was still physically strong. Seeing Pei Ge walk over alone, he immediately opened the security booth’s window and asked this with concern.

“I had something on.” She smiled and did not mention about the blind date.

“You’re a girl. Next time, come home a little earlier. You shouldn’t be out so late alone; it’s not safe,” Grandpa Ge chided with concern.

“I know, Grandpa.” She nodded with a grin. Suddenly, she thought of something and her eyes brightened.

“Grandpa, maybe a bad guy is right behind me. It’s better not to let him in.”
