Chapter 1278 - What makes you think that the children are his?

After putting the two children to sleep, Pei Ge busied herself in the study for a while before washing up to sleep as well.

Her doorbell rang at this point.

She checked the watch on her wrist; it was late. Who would come to her place this late at night?

Confused, she walked to the door and saw a man standing outside from the peephole.

“Ji Ziming?”

She opened the door as she mumbled to herself.

The instant she opened her door, she felt a pair of strong, cold arms around her.

“Pei Ge...”

She was a little stunned when she felt the man’s strong embrace.

She was also caught off guard by this sudden hug.

She only recovered from her shock when the man kissed her lips.

“Mhm!”

She opened her mouth to speak but only ended up deepening their kiss.

The kiss was urgent and passionate. As she retreated, he advanced.

He only let go of her when she had run out of breath.

“Huff, huff!” She gasped for air as she panted. “What are you doing?!” She glared at the man after a long while.

“Pei Ge, don’t leave me...”

Instead of replying to her question, the man wrapped her in an embrace as he mumbled this plea.

His voice sounded unspeakably weak.

It made her indignation disappear.

“What’s wrong?”

After quietly lying in his arms for a while, she felt that something was not right. She pushed him aside and looked at him.

Did this annoying fellow get provoked by something? He’s acting really weird.

“...”

When he heard the woman’s query, Ji Ziming remained silent, only staring at her.

As she watched the man remain silent, Pei Ge pursed her lips exasperatedly and told the man about the two kids missing her.

“Are you busy right now? When you’re less busy, bring Ji Chi over to see An An and Ran Ran. Those two are missing you guys—”

She heard him speak before she could finish.

“Pei Ge, let’s get married.”

“...Ah—huh?!”

Her eyes widened as she looked at him.

“Haven’t I already told you my conditions—”

The man cut her off again.

“Let’s get married as soon as possible.”

“...What are you on about? Do you think marriage is a game? Marriage isn’t about two people; it’s between two families. Can you not do this?”

Even though she was happy that he had proposed to her, she knew that if they got married suddenly, the two families would be thrown into chaos, and she never liked that.

“I know that Fu Mingxuan is back,” he said plainly.

“So? What of him being back?”

She questioningly lifted a brow to the man. She did not get why he would react so strongly to that guy’s return.

Suddenly, she thought of the untrue news about her and that guy.

It couldn’t be... Did this man actually believe that? Is he thinking that I have something with senior?

His voice interrupted her thoughts.

“I’m afraid that you’ll be taken away by him again...”

She became exasperated upon hearing that, but she wanted to laugh as well.

“Come on, now; I don’t have anything going with him, okay? I really don’t know what’s in your head.”

Ji Ziming slowly returned to himself when he heard the woman’s reply.

He knew that he had lost control of his emotions earlier, but when it came to her, he always lost his cool, no matter how much he tried not to...

“Pei Ge, marry me; I’ll be good to you and the kids. I don’t mind even if they’re not mine but Mingxuan’s...”

It was a sincere, emotional confession.

Another person would accept it wholeheartedly when they heard such a proposal.

Alas, she was only enraged when she heard it.

“What did you say?”

She knitted her brows tightly in fury.

“...”

“You think my children are senior’s?”

Taking a deep breath, she felt indignant.

Everything she had wanted to say to the man turned into a burning anger.

Ha ha ha! The man I like—the father of my children—actually thinks that the kids aren’t his but another man’s!

“Pei Ge?”

The man detected the anger in her eyes. His brows moved slightly, but before he could think things through, she chased him out.

“Get lost! Get out of my place!”

Angrily, she pushed him out of her apartment.

“What makes you think that my children are senior’s?! You really don’t have any trust in me, huh...” She had tears in her eyes as she closed the door.

Bang!

Looking at the tightly closed door, the man knitted his brows tightly.

Her words reverberated in his head.

‘You think my children are senior’s?’

‘What makes you think that my children are his?!’

Did I... get something wrong?

He suddenly felt that he had perhaps missed something.

After she shut the anti-theft door, she leaned against it limply as tears rolled down her eyes.

“Ji Ziming, you jerk! Jerk, jerk, jerk!”

An An and Ran Ran are yours, you scum!
