“I realize now that you’re really stupid! Whose children do you think An and Ran Ran are?”
The words Pei Ge said to him stayed in his head the whole day.
Could…. the two children be his?
At this thought, his heart was filled with unspeakable joy.
However, if they were his… then when were they conceived?
Instantly, Ji Ziming was filled with doubt about the night five years ago.
This was that fateful night which had destroyed his relationship with his beloved woman and the crux of his supposed betrayal of her trust.
Thus, he really did not want to recollect the past.
Now…
He realized that there were too many points of suspicion from that night.
If that were really so… then those children were likely his!
At this thought, he held his breath. He could hardly wait to see Pei Ge… An An, and Ran Ran!
This became the toughest day for him.
This workaholic man left the office in record time and drove straight to Minghao’s headquarters where the woman was at.
After a day’s work, Pei Ge saw the man waiting for her at the entrance when she left the company.
Ji Ziming…
She scoffed, clearly still upset.
Seeing that the woman was about to avoid him, he walked over to her side and tightly gripped her wrist.
“I want to talk to you.”
“There’s nothing for us to talk about.”
“Come on; let’s go back together.”
“Who wants to go back with you?!”
As the two were arguing, the backseat window of his car was opened from the inside, followed by—
“Mommy, get in! I heard that brother and sister miss me.”
She paused when she heard this voice and then saw Ji Chi in the car, waving at her with a face full of smiles.
“Come on; let’s go home.”
The man’s voice was tender and devoted.
It was as if her husband and son had come to pick her up from work.
“…On the account of Baby, I’ll let you off the hook.”
She scoffed lightly before breaking away from his grasp and climbing in the backseat to sit next to the boy.
Pak!
A small smile appeared on the man’s face when he saw her get in the car.
Hmm… Mu Heng’s advice to use my son as a bridge between me and Pei Ge is correct, huh.
“Mommy, I really missed you…”
The child hugged her arm the instant she got in the car.
The little guy was in a state of excitement as if he had not seen her in a long time.
“I missed you, too…” She rubbed his head and asked about his whereabouts these past few days.
She only knew that the boy’s father was not talking to the rest of his family.
The man had moved out of the Ji family’s ancestral house like a rebellious teenager, and his poor, little son had been placed in a boarding school because of his busy schedule.
“If you’re not free, you leave your son with me! He’s still so young; how can you leave him there?”
She started lecturing the man.
“I…”
Ji Ziming did not expect Pei Ge to get upset over this. Because of Qiao Jingyun, he did not place his son in her care even though she was really fond of him.
After all, no matter what, the boy was still that woman’s son.
“That’s it. If you’re unable to take care of him, you can leave him to me. An An and Ran Ran really like him. Anyway, what’s the difference of adding a kid or two to the bunch?”
After she spoke, she felt a little arm in hers.
“Mommy…”
The boy buried his face in her arm. His voice was muffled and one could not tell his emotions.
The woman did not notice this strange behavior of the boy as her focus was on reprimanding his father.
The car arrived at her place in the middle of her nagging…
Clack!
When she opened the door using her keys, she saw that her kids were waiting for them by the door.
“Mommy! Uncle! Little brother!”
“Little brother…”
The two were ecstatic to see the father-son pair.
They pulled the boy into a group hug even before he could remove his shoes and change into slippers.
“Brother, where have you been? We’ve missed you!”
Looking at the closeness of the three children, a blissful smile appeared on Pei Ge’s face.
Ji Ziming felt a little different toward the two kids when he saw them because of his speculation all day.
The biggest change was that he felt that their features resembled his a little when he looked at them.
The woman’s daughter and his son looked rather similar.
This discovery made his heart skip a beat.
He even started chastising himself for being so dumb before.
How could he have not seen that An An and Ran Ran were his children?
Despite having come to a conclusion already, he still decided to take some of the kids’ hair to do a paternity test for the future.
After a hearty meal, the two kids brought the boy along to play with them, while the two adults entered the study.
“An An and Ran Ran are my children, aren’t they?”
The moment they entered the study, he spoke aloud his supposition, but the woman neither confirmed nor denied it.
“You think we’ve slept before? When did I conceive your children, then?”
