Perhaps she viewed that child as her Ping An because of the walkie-talkie…
Pei Ge’s heart ached at this thought.
If that boy of hers were still alive, he would likely be happy next to Ran Ran and An An…
She felt her nose get clogged up as water welled up in her eyes.
Ping An… are you doing well in heaven?
Or did you reincarnate in a new family already?
After letting her mind run wild, she took deep, calming breaths and headed to the study.
Entering the simple study room with neutral color schemes, she promptly turned on her computer and logged in to her social-media account.
She checked the time and saw that it was only seven in the evening; at this, it should be around seven in the morning over in New York.
Thinking that her children’s class began at eight, she dialed her best friend’s number.
“Hello. Why are you calling this early?”
“I miss my kids; are they free right now? I want to talk to them for a bit.” She immediately told her best friend once the call got through.
“Okay! The two have just finished their breakfast. They’ll be happy to know that you’re available to talk to them!”
With that, her best friend hung up the phone.
Shortly after, the woman sent a video call request.
She accepted the request at once.
After she did that, two chubby, fair-skinned children appeared on the screen.
Their features were delicate and exquisite.
Usually, one would use adorable instead of exquisite to describe children, but if one had to make a choice between the two when describing her children, the latter would be more apt.
Even though the children were twins, they did not resemble each other.
Aside from them being good-looking, the twins did not resemble each other at all.
One looked like a doll—a copy of her as a child.
The other looked like Ji Ziming but not totally. He was just like a doll as well.
Even though they were still young, from their delicate features, it was clear that the pair of siblings would grow up to be extremely good-looking.
After the video call started, the two kids began chatting with her happily.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy! Ran Ran misses you.”
The children looked at her through the camera lens with doe eyes.
“Mommy misses you two, too.”
She felt her nose crinkle a little when she heard their tender voices.
It had been almost two weeks since she left her precious children. She really missed them a lot.
“Why aren’t you back to visit us if you miss us, then? We miss you every day…” her daughter petulantly, pouting as she looked at her with doe eyes.
“There, there. It’s because mommy’s not done with work yet. You both listen to your godmother; mommy will be back once I’m done with work here.”
Her heart ached when she saw her daughter pouting.
Since young, this daughter of hers had possessed a weak body. Even though the doctors that Egger had gotten for her were the best, the young girl was born prematurely, so her body could only slowly recover over time with treatment.
Therefore, when facing her frail daughter, she was always extra gentle and doting.
Moreover, her youngest daughter was not spoiled or willful despite being doted on by so many people. Instead, she was really mature and obedient.
This made Pei Ge dote on her more.
As long as it was within her capabilities, she would answer to all her daughter’s requests.
“I miss mommy, though… I want you to sleep with us and to tell us bedtime stories…”
Tears welled up in the girl’s eyes, and her heart ached as she regarded her.
Even the most hard-hearted person in this world would give in to the young girl if they saw her like this.
“Baby girl… there, there. Mommy will be back soon; I promise!”
Even though she wanted to return to her children’s side, her plan for revenge had just begun…
She could not go back yet.
“Mommy, why don’t you just bring us back there with you?”
An An, who was standing next to his sister, spoke.
Even though his voice was tender just like his sister’s, his tone was that of an adult’s, which made it sound funny and adorable.
Others might see it as adorable for a child to speak with a straight face and like an adult, but as their mother, she only felt her heartache.
It was because her son was no ordinary child.
Her son was a prodigy.
He was always ahead of others in school no matter what he did.
At the age of two, most children could not even run or walk, yet her son could already communicate in three different languages and work on difficult math problems.
Because of his odd behavior, they had him checked at the hospital, only to find out that his IQ was at 210.
That was a rather scary figure.
If Egger and Gu Zhengrong were not influential in the US, her son would probably be taken from them to undergo intensive training.
Therefore, even though the boy was just five years old, his IQ could not be compared to that of a normal person.
As a corollary, she always felt helpless when dealing with her prodigious son.
