“You think we’ve slept before? When did I conceive your children, then?”
Pei Ge was clearly still upset when she asked that, so her words were tinged with sarcasm, but because of this, Ji Ziming did not know what to say in response.
Another reason was… he did not have an answer.
“…”
Her anger only intensified in his inability to provide an answer.
How did she not know how dumb and silly this man was?
The man she had slept with back then was clearly this one before her, but how come he had no impression of their time together at all?!
She really did not know what to say!
“I know that An An and Ran Ran are my children; I’ll explain things to my parents today, and then I’ll take you as my wife.”
He walked over to her, appearing sincere and gentle as he looked at her. His words were full of pa.s.sion and determination as well.
From the moment he started speculating about those two children being his, he had been in a state of euphoria.
Alas, the woman merely scoffed in response, as if unbothered by his words.
“Do you think your parents will care about those two?”
As long as Ji Chi was there, no matter what, their affection would just be divided.
After all, with a mother like that, the boy deserved much love.
Indeed, her words were true…
“Are you joking with us? Pei Ge’s children are yours?”
Before Madam Ji could rejoice the return of her son, she was stunned by his words.
“Yes. An An and Ran Ran are my children.” Ji Ziming nodded without hesitation.
Even though Pei Ge had not admitted it openly to him yet, it was clear from her att.i.tude that the two were his!
“This isn’t a laughing matter. How could her children be yours?”
Clearly, his mother was not buying it.
“It’s not like I haven’t seen her children before. Even though I only saw them briefly that day, I didn’t see any resemblance between them and you.”
That was not untrue.
Those two kids did not resemble him.
“If you’re lying to us for the sake of marrying that woman, then you can save your effort. Your dad and I will never let that woman into our family. Your future wife can only be Jingwan.”
She put down her teacup gently but firmly.
It was the first time she had taken such a firm stance toward her son.
“I’m not saying this just to marry her.” His parents’ objection did not change his mind.
He glanced plainly at his parents, who were seated opposite of him, and spoke in a resolute tone.
“I don’t care if those two are my children; I’ll marry her all the same. I’ll only take her as my wife in this life.”
His tone was firm.
This upset even his father, who had remained silent the whole time.
“Nonsense! What’s so good about that woman that you’ll go against your mother?”
The older man slammed his hand heavily on the table, clearly feeling unhappy.
After so many years, he did not expect his son not to have gotten over that woman.
“Hubby…”
Seeing that her husband was about to reprimand their son, she stopped him and indicated for him to stop speaking.
“Honey?”
He looked at his wife confusedly but chose to remain silent accordingly.
“Do you know that your childhood friend is back?”
“Yes.”
He frowned when he heard her words.
“Then, do you know why he is back?”
She sighed.
“…” Ji Ziming did not know how to reply to his mother.
That was because he had a vague idea that Fu Mingxuan had returned for Pei Ge.
“You’re smart, so I’m sure you know without me saying that he came back for that woman.”
Looking at her son’s reaction, how could she not know what was going through his head?
“Still, you must be unaware that he’ll marry her soon.”
“What?!”
His face showed shock.
“You claimed her two children as yours, but the Fu family claimed her kids as theirs! They are a respectable family; why would they do that if they weren’t sure?”
“!”
His mother’s words stunned everyone in the living room.
Not just her son, even her husband was stunned.
“Honey, what exactly is this about?”
“Sigh! You men must not know that I and Mingxuan’s mom had a discussion earlier. She told me this herself.”
She felt indignant for her son when she recalled the smile of Fu Mingxuan’s mother.
Her son really liked that woman, but she… was constantly breaking her son’s heart.
“They have already acknowledged her. It won’t be long before the Fu family has a wedding.”
“Impossible!”
Her son shot her down.
“How could that be? Why would the Fus joke about something like this?!”
She felt her head throbbing. How did she not realize before that Pei Ge had the potential to be a seductress?
“An An and Ran Ran are my children, and Pei Ge is my wife.”
