Chapter 1293:

Her children are not yours.

Pei Ge only felt her heart ache when she saw the little boy all teary-eyed.

How much had this child suffered in Qiao Jingyun’s hands?

“There, there! From now on, no one can bully you again…” she murmured, holding him tightly.

As though in a trance, she treated Ji Chi like her flesh and blood.

Even An An and Ran Ran were shocked by what they saw.

When Ji Ziming was done cooking and came out of the kitchen, all he saw was the woman hugging and comforting his son.

“What’s wrong?” he asked with a frown, hurrying over to her side.

“Ah…” The boy in her arms spoke before she could. “Daddy, mommy said that she’ll be my mommy for real!”

The little guy raised his head at his father with bright eyes.

He looked incredibly happy.

“…What?!”

The man paused a little when he heard his son’s words. Wild happiness appeared in his cold eyes.

“Pei Ge, you—”

Even though he looked rather calm, in truth, he was really excited.

“

Cough!

I didn’t say that.”

She coughed and interrupted him, but looking at his bright eyes, she felt a little shy.

“I’ll say this upfront. We have a deal. If you don’t succeed in getting rid of those people tarnis.h.i.+ng my name, you can’t ask me to marry you.”

“…I know.” The man nodded plainly at her.

“That’s enough! I’m hungry! These three are hungry as well! Let’s eat first!”

She was clearly changing the topic, but the man did not expose her. He just nodded and smiled lovingly at her.

“Okay. Dinner’s ready.”

Just as this family of five was having dinner in a heartwarming atmosphere, a pair, on another end, was having an especially tense talk.

“Mingxuan, I’m not lying to you! You really think that Pei Ge’s children are yours? Quit dreaming!”

In a dim bar, Qiao Jingyun looked at the man drinking coldly before her bitterly and angrily.

“Why are you telling me this? Shouldn’t you be hara.s.sing Ji Ziming?”

The man leaned back against the booth, giving off a lazy and cold aura.

After five years, this man’s aura had changed.

“I’m for real! You think I’m lying to you? Tell me: What is there for me to lie to you about?”

She got fl.u.s.tered for the first time when she saw him not taking her seriously.

This was something she had not felt when she was by Ji Ziming’s side.

“Heh… truth…” He Fu Mingxuan laughed coldly as he set his winegla.s.s down and looked coldly at her. “Back then, haven’t you had enough setting me up, and you still had the guts to appear before me?!”

“Her children really aren’t yours.”

“He he! Then whose children are they?”

“They’re Ji Ziming’s!”
