“Also, also! That little brother the uncle brought along is very cute! I like him a lot, too!”

Little Ran Ran’s words made her burst into laughter .
“Why isn’t it older brother but little brother, instead?”
“Because I want a little brother!”
Her daughter pouted at her hopefully .
Pei Ge shook her head in amusement at the girl’s adorable look, feeling despondent inside .
Actually, if she counted, there was the possibility of that little boy being her daughter’s little brother .
After all, she had given birth to them prematurely…
At this point, she could not help recalling the scene she had coincidentally witnessed earlier .
As she was too flustered, she did not see the child’s looks very clearly .
Still, one look was enough for her to feel that the little boy resembled Ji Ziming…
Despite it being just a quick glimpse, she did not feel any aversion toward the child .
In fact… thinking about it now, she seemed to quite like the child .
She fell silent at this point .
Perhaps… this was because he was still a child and was the same age as her pair of children .
“Haaaa!”
Just as she was thinking of this, she heard Little Ran Ran’s cute yawning .

“Are you feeling sleepy?”
She quickly returned to herself and noted that it was already past 11 PM .
According to their usual schedule, her two babies should already be deeply asleep in Lalaland at 10 PM .
“My babies, hurry and go sleep . It’s mommy’s fault for not noticing that it’s already this late . ”
She frowned lightly and urged her two children to go to sleep .
“But brother and I still want to talk to you a little . ”
The girl pouted and looked at her with a pitiful look .
Beside the girl, although Little An An behaved like a young adult, his dark and bright eyes were also filled with longing .
She felt her heart squeeze at the sight of her two precious children being reluctant to part with her .
In comparison to Ji Ziming’s blissful family of three, she was filled with self-reproach .
Her two precious babies already did not have a father by their side, yet, as their only kin, she was also not by their side…
“You two, quickly go to sleep . Mommy will tell you a bedtime story . ”
She tugged her lips into a smile .
I must act faster now .
There’s only so much time in a lifetime; I can’t waste all my precious time on those people .
After silently making this decision, she proceeded to give all her affections and warmth on her two children as she gently told them a bedtime story .
“…In the end, the prince…”

Seeing that both children were sound asleep, she quickly stopped speaking and smiled .
On the screen, the bedroom lights had already been dimmed .
Through the dim lighting, she watched her two kids sleep with their heads touching and felt her heart nearly melt at their cuteness .
Right now, she truly wanted to return to their side .
“Babies… mommy loves you two . ”
With glistening eyes, she gently lowered her head and planted a kiss on the PC screen . It was as if, by doing so, she could transmit her kiss to the children .
That’s why mommy will quickly settle the enemies who hurt your grandparents . Once I snatch back what is ours, I will go back…
Curbing the gentleness on her face, she ended the video call . Her gentle features then morphed into a sharp and cold expression .
“What’s going on with the Pei Family Real Estate now?”
“…Huh?”
Wu Wei was unable to react to the cold voice in time .
The contrast between her being so gentle to the point of melting one’s heart and her being icy was too stark .
“Any moves on the Peis’ side . ”
Her cold gaze was fixed onto him .
“Ah!”
Her gaze jolted him out of his thoughts .
“While the Peis aren’t making any moves on the surface, their PR department’s Manager Pei is actually preparing for a new project…”

Pei Ge narrowed her eyes at this as a cold glint flashed in them .
“Pei Shishi…”
The assistant could not help but shiver in fear when he heard this light murmur .
Our CFO and the Pei family’s manager have the same surname; are they related?
Also, I don’t know if I’m getting a wrong vibe, but I feel that our CFO is purposely targeting that real-estate company…
“Continue monitoring the Pei Family Real Estate . Don’t relax your surveillance . ”
With that, the woman closed her eyes and lay her back against the seat to rest .
He did not dare to disrupt her rest and only tried to make the car steadier .
On the surface, she seemed to have gone to sleep .
However, in fact, she did not feel the least bit sleepy .
All she could think of was the Pei family .
She did not take note of anything related to Ji Ziming in these five years .
She had always been monitoring her relatives’ situation .
In fact, before she returned to the country, she had her uncle’s family investigated thoroughly .
In these five years, the Pei family did not crumble totally, but it was no longer a rising star like it used to be .
Moreover, her cousin’s life had completely fallen apart .
Following her and her mother’s departure, her uncle’s family did not end up well .
She did not know whether it was Egger or Gu Zhengrong who had handled it, but Liu Yan, who had run over her mother with a car, could not escape a life in prison .
In fact, her sentence had become much more severe . Even if the Pei family was willing to bribe the judges, her aunt still had to serve a few years of prison sentence .
As for her cousin, she ended up without her unruly and unreasonable mother . Pei Shishi’s father divorced her mother, who was still in prison, and married a scheming young lover about her age .
When she returned home, other than having to face her stepmother who was not that much older than her, she even… had a younger brother from a different mother .
The poor woman only knew then that her father had long ago betrayed their family .
The most pitiful thing was that, after all her scheming against others, she ended up losing to her stepmother .
Her life at the Pei family became more arduous . From being the company heir, she could only end up being a poor PR manager who had to drink with clients to clinch deals…
“Heh!”
Thinking about this, Pei Ge smirked .
That’s retribution! This is why people shouldn’t do evil deeds .
Her lips curled into a sardonic smile . When she opened her bright eyes again, they glinted darkly .
Still, that isn’t enough .
My father and mother were harmed so badly by them .
How could this much retribution be enough?
I’ll make them end up with nothing!
I’ll make them regret ever treating dad and mom like that!
