Pak!
Pei Ge closed the door and changed into her indoor slippers as she entered the apartment. Upon being informed by the housekeeper, she crept into the bedroom.
As she entered, she saw the angelic faces of the three children who were fast asleep.
Seeing them asleep with their heads side by side and their cheeks flushing, the corners of her lips subconsciously curled into a smile.
She stealthily headed to the bedside and sat down while she looked at the three children intently.
Her heart was overflowing with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
She could not help but think of Qiao Jingyun when she looked at them.
As her eyes shifted onto Ji Chi, the smile on her face disappeared slightly.
She clearly hated that woman, but for some reason, she did not dislike this boy in the slightest.
Instead, she felt inexplicable fondness for him.
This fondness was as though the child were her flesh and blood…
It was truly odd…
Nevertheless, it could be because this child did not look like that woman; instead, he resembled his father.
It could also because this boy and her daughter had some similarities.
She turned to look at Ran Ran and smiled.
It was worth mentioning that when these two kids’ eyes were closed, they looked even more similar.
“You two… are truly siblings.” She shook her head and exited the room after saying this in a whisper.
However, the moment she left the room, a child opened his eyes.
Siblings?
Siblings?!
This child was An An.
He was half awake earlier, and when his mother uttered those words, he woke up at once.
Before he could fully open his eyes, though, her mother said such words.
He was still reeling from the shock of having heard such a revelation.
What does mommy mean by us being siblings?
Could Ji Chi really be our sibling, and he really is our younger brother?
His father is that good-looking uncle, though...
No matter how intelligent he was, he was still stumped by this matter.
Although he and his sister addressed the boy as their younger brother, he was merely playing along.
They needed to have the same father and mother for him to be their younger brother and them to be siblings.
Could it be that… our father is that good-looking uncle?
Still, Ji Chi’s mother isn’t our mother…
Meanwhile, the boy’s mother, who was clueless about him being awake, went to the kitchen after leaving the kids’ room to prepare dinner for them.
To her surprise, though, the kitchen was occupied by two men!
“Ge Ge, get some rest; I’ll prepare tonight’s dinner.”
“Pei Ge prefers my cooking.”
She rolled her eyes as the relatively large kitchen became a lot smaller with these two tall and lean men.
“…”
Forget it! How could life carry on like this?
She really could not have a day of peace!
Ji Ziming and Egger were unwilling to take a step back and tried to show off their skills in the kitchen.
She decided not to mind them and left the kitchen there and then.
Although she left the kitchen, she could hear the voices coming from there.
She felt exasperated upon hearing their voices but could not deny that her place had become livelier…
Dinner began when all three children woke up that night.
All three blinked at the sumptuous dinner on the dining table.
“Wow, mommy! Dinner tonight looks great!”
The girl happily exclaimed at the dishes on the table.
“Ran Ran, daddy prepared many of your and your brother’s favorites.”
Egger grinned at her, looking as if he were fishing for compliments.
“Mhm, mhm, mhm! I saw them all! God—daddy!”
The girl bobbed her head, nearly addressing the man wrongly.
Ji Ziming could not help but be vexed by the two’s exchange, and for some reason he could not identify, he felt disgust and anger at the little girl’s act of calling Egger father.
Seeing the man looking at the two with a dark expression, Pei Ge’s heart… ached slightly for him subconsciously.
Did she go overboard?
Even though she wanted to cut off all ties with him, there was no need to get another father for her children… and have them call another man their ‘daddy’ when their biological father was right in front of them…
“All right. Eat your dinner.”
Taking a deep breath, she resolved to discuss with Egger the matter of bringing her kids back first.
The children obediently had their meals upon hearing her order.
The sumptuous dinner was all prepared by the two men.
As a result, the two looked at her and the three children yearningly when they picked up their chopsticks.
They were clearly pitting themselves against each other.
“Wow, mommy! This one tastes good!
“This is tasty, too!”
The girl was not like her older brother and Ji Chi, who would not speak when they ate, and kept praising the food she ate.
In addition, she would even share her thoughts to her mother.
Pei Ge was shocked by how happy her daughter was and found it quite amusing.
Who should she consider as father and daughter?
The food that her daughter was praising was all prepared by Ji Ziming.
Although Egger did prepare the kids’ favorites, the two kept taking the dishes made by the other man.
It was obvious that they preferred his cooking.
The moment she thought of this, the smile on her face froze…
Am I being too selfish? The children must… be yearning to know who their father is.
Plus, they’re quite fond of their father…
Lifting her head, she shot the man a glance and saw him looking at the children eating with gentle eyes…
Have I… made a mistake?
