“What’s wrong?” asked the man, who had been looking at her all this while.
“Do you know? This… is where An An and Ran Ran were born…” It’s also where our Ping An was born.
At this point, her expression suddenly turned sorrowful.
She could not help recalling the small coffin holding her son’s body…
Even now, she still did not have the courage to open that small coffin to look at her child…
“What… are you thinking about?”
After feeling stunned from hearing that, the man carefully probed when she grew pensive. It was then that he spotted her sorrowful expression.
Pei Ge returned to herself at his careful probing. When she turned to look at him, the sorrow overflowed from within her heart.
She could not help but lean her head on his shoulder when she saw the worry in his dark eyes.
“Ziming, I was just thinking… If we hadn’t had any of those misunderstandings, how great would it have been…”
Her eyes moistened as she muttered softly.
If so, our children wouldn’t have been born prematurely… and we wouldn’t have lost Ping An.
“Don’t think too much about it. It’s fine now that we no longer have any misunderstandings between us.”
The man tightened his arms around her, the fury in his heart toward Qiao Jingyun burning stronger.
If not for that woman, he would not have been forcefully separated from Pei Ge for five years!
Luckily, the woman he loved did not fall for another man.
If she had a different lover when they met again, he did not know what he could have done!
“You don’t know… I-If we didn’t separate then…”
She sucked in a deep breath, bitterness filling her heart.
If she had been able to trust him a little more back then, if she was able to resolve the misunderstanding between them… there would definitely not have been so many tragedies that she was unable to accept!
Alas, there were no ifs in this world.
Before they could finish their conversation, the man’s phone rang.
He answered the call before her. What she did not expect was…
“What? The Qiaos adopted a girl from an orphanage?”
Pei Ge felt her heart shaking upon hearing that.
A girl?
She vaguely recalled Little Ji Chi telling her that.
As she thought of that boy, she could not help but feel heartache.
Still, the stronger feeling she had was confusion.
Why would Qiao Jingyun, a woman who had no love for kids, adopt a girl from an orphanage?
As she was thinking of this, the man hung up the call.
His expression was slightly bad.
At least, compared to before he answered the call, it was many times worse.
“Ziming, is that woman the one who adopted a child? She doesn’t seem the type to adopt children from an orphanage. What is going on?”
She looked at him quizzically.
“…Because she gave birth to that child.”
With his face dripping in coldness, he spoke in a frigid tone. His expression was so dark that it was akin to the sky before a thunderstorm.
“What?! She gave birth to that girl?!”
