“Did you just say that she’s called Regina?”
There seemed to be indescribable movement in the man’s otherwise still dark eyes, but his deep, masculine voice carried discernible emotion .
At least, Qu Jingwan, who was standing next to him, felt that her fiancé’s reaction towards this woman was a little strange .
“Yes, Ziming . Don’t you know that she’s the woman who’s presently famous in our city?”
She smiled at him, her face gentle .
Alas, the man did not pay attention to her as his gaze never left Pei Ge .
He looked at her carefully and intently, as if searching for something .
The latter shifted uncomfortably under his heated gaze .
Right then, she was extremely nervous, wondering if the man had recognized her, but she quickly shot down this thought .
Even the Casanova failed to recognize her; how would this man recognize her?
At this thought, her nervousness dissipated .
“Cough!”
Just as she was about to speak to break the tensed silence, Mu Heng’s voice cut in .
“Aiya! Uncle’s precious baby, you can’t call this auntie mommy, or else your dad may become my rival . ”
As he spoke teasingly, he pinched the boy in the woman’s arms gently .
For some reason, Ji Ziming felt unhappy when he heard his childhood friend’s words .
“What are you saying…”
Hearing the playboy’s words, Pei Ge knitted her brows coldly, but this did not deter him at all; instead, he slung his arm around her shoulders and smiled slyly .
“I’ve been thinking about it, and it’s quite rare to find a woman like you, so I don’t intend to—” Give up on you .
The other man cut him off .
“Don’t get all touchy-feely . ”
Staring coldly at him, the other man removed his arm from the woman’s shoulders unhappily .
He froze when his arm was removed .
He had no idea what his best friend was up to!
“You’re Regina, huh . ”
Ji Ziming looked at the woman with meaningful eyes, and the sense of familiarity in him grew .
The feeling that she gave him was too similar to that woman he had been loving and remembering for many years .
“Yes . I’ve heard a lot about you . ”
The playboy’s appearance calmed her nerves enough to behave naturally before this man and treat him like one of her clients .
She subconsciously reached out her arm to him for a handshake but realized that she was still holding the child .
The man, too, realized it . He raised one of his eyebrows a little . “You are quite good at handling children . ”
“Yes . That’s because I have two children of my own . ”
She raised one of her eyebrows and looked coldly at him .
“…Children? You already have a husband?”
This reply stomped the man, and his brows knitted without his knowledge .
There was an indescribable sense of unhappiness and anger with a hint of jealousy in him .
The woman was surprised to see him appearing a little bothered but still nodded as she pretended not to have noticed it .
“Yes . I’m married with two kids . My husband and my children are in New York,” she answered gently, her face full of bliss .
Her words struck the man in the heart like bolts of lightning .
He could not understand why he felt upset and angry to hear that, so for a moment, he was at a loss on how to respond to her revelation .
It was as if… he had been betrayed by the woman he loved .
“…Is that so?”
He nodded, seemingly out of it .
Why did he see Pei Ge’s shadow in this woman?
Why did he link her with the one he loved…
His mind was full of questions .
He was confused that he found Pei Ge’s shadow in a woman whom he had not seen before .
“Aiya . That’s enough . Son, let’s invite Miss Regina inside to take a seat . Dr . Qi is here now too, so we must have him check the boy . ”
After dealing with the guests, Madam Ji saw her son standing before Pei Ge in a daze .
His out-of-character behavior shocked her a little, but her thoughts were quickly cast aside when her eyes spotted the child in the woman’s arms .
Her focus should be on her grandson at this moment .
Pei Ge smiled politely when she saw Madam Ji walking toward her quickly, and she prepared to return the child .
Even though she could not bear to do so, the boy was still not her child in the end .
Alas, as the older woman reached out to the kid, the latter began crying .
“Waahh!”
Hearing him start wailing again, the older woman retracted her hands in shock .
“Aiya, my previous baby, don’t cry; don’t cry . Grandma won’t carry you anymore! I won’t carry you! Your crying is breaking my heart!”
Immediately after she spoke, she saw the child stop crying in the woman’s arms .
Still, he gripped the woman’s collar tightly as if afraid that he would be taken away from her .
A warm and gentle smile spread on Pei Ge’s face as she looked down at the child in her arms .
“Ziming, you’re really strange today… Don’t tell me that you have your eyes on her, too?”
