Pei Ge built the swan castle with her children, with Ji Chi being the most active .
“Little brother, is the one I made nice?” The girl looked up at him expectantly .
“En . ” He nodded after he eyed the castle his sister had built .
As she watched her three children interact, their mother’s heart felt full .
“What are you all doing?”
Ji Ziming stood at the side, watching his woman and three kids, the emotions in his eyes unreadable .
“Daddy, we’re building swan castles!” His daughter got up and brought the castle to him . He squatted, and she ran into his embrace .
“Daddy, look!” Her eyes were shining .
“It’s nice . ” He smiled .
“Mine is nicer . ”
Seeing that the man had squatted to hug his sister, Ji Chi brought his castle to his father, too, almost falling over .
“Slow down . ” His father grabbed him . “Be careful when you walk . ”
“Daddy, mine looks better, right?” The boy eagerly brought his castle to show to his father .
The man looked at his son tenderly, and the smile on his face widened .
“Is mine nice-looking? Is it nice?” The boy pressed him for an answer .
“It’s…” He pretended to hesitate .
“It’s not nice?” The little lad pushed his castle closer toward his father .
“Great!” The latter blurted out in the next second .
Ji Chi looked up at his father in shock . “Daddy, you…”
“I didn’t say that you didn’t do well . ” The man let go of his daughter and told his son this . “You’re the one who said it . ”
“You…” The boy looked at his father in surprise as he held his castle . Was this the cold dad that he knew?
“Why did you mess with him?” Pei Ge asked as she watched the man walk toward her .
“I’m not messing with him . ” He looked at her seriously . “You’ve been building castles with them all afternoon?”
“Yeah . ” She nodded as she looked at the man walking toward her . His chiseled features tugged at her heartstrings .
“What are you doing?” She asked as he inched closer, his lips about to touch hers .
“I’m watching you . ” He looked at her, his eyes narrowing . “Why, am I not allowed?”
“You’re allowed, but don’t you think you’re too close?” she asked .
“Nope . ” Ji Ziming observed the woman before him carefully . From her expression, she was in a good mood . Even though Qu Jingwan was staying in this house, too, given this woman’s feisty temperament, he was not worried that she would get bullied .
“…” Pei Ge got up and walked away from him before going to the three children .
“Are you all hungry? After so long, we should go eat . ”
“Okay, mommy; I want to eat the porridge you make . ” Her daughter had a coy smile . “Mommy makes the best porridge!”
“If my girl wants more, I’ll make more for you . ” She nodded, comforted by her daughter’s thoughtfulness .
“Ping An, you want some?” She asked with a smile .
Ji Chi looked at her without saying anything, but his expectant expression said everything .
“Okay, let’s go make some porridge . ”
She then brought the children to the kitchen . She was about two steps inside when a strong force gripped her arm . She turned to see a cold face staring back at her .
“You’re going?”
“Yeah . ”
“To make porridge?”
“Yeah . ”
She frowned, unsure of what Ji Ziming was getting at .
The man let go of her wrist, his dark eyes staring at her . “Make a plate of picked cucumbers, too . ”
When she heard his request, she burst out laughing, unable to react to his request .
The man stared at her, his eyes getting colder . “You’re not leaving yet?”
“Okay, okay, okay; I’ll go now . ”
She chucked as she brought the kids with her . The man watched her, hesitant, as if he had recalled something .
The man tugged at his striped tie as he watched her descend the stairs . His eyes darkened and his lips curled into a smile .
In the kitchen, Pei Ge watched the two kids play around with the flour and get it all over their faces . “Look at you guys; the flour is all over your faces . ”
She cleaned her daughter’s face gently with a towel . “Look at your brother’s face; there’s nothing there, and it’s all clean . ”
“My face is clean, too . ” The girl pouted as she cozied up to her mother . “Mommy, see; there’s nothing . Isn’t it clean?”
The woman poked her freshly cleaned face, the cheekiness in her eyes not lost on her .
“Okay, okay . My daughter is the cleanest . ”
“An An, go get daddy and grandma to come down for dinner . ” She told her oldest son this after she cleaned her daughter’s face and cooked the porridge .
“Okay . ”
The boy nodded obediently before going to get his father .
At the dinner table, Pei Ge scooped a full bowl of porridge for Ji Chi . The latter hesitated before he lifted a small scoop . Before long, his bowl was empty, and he was staring at the pot of porridge on the dining table .
“Come, Ping An; I’ll get you another bowl . ” She picked up his bowl and scooped him more porridge when she saw his expression .
Seeing that the lad was only eating porridge, she put a piece of cucumber in his bowl . Ji Chi hesitated for a few moments before he secretly ate the cucumber in his bowl .
She inwardly rejoiced . The lad seemed to remember the taste of her food . At least, he did not reject it . As long as he did not reject it, she believed that he would one day remember her .
She just had to wait patiently .
Ji Ziming looked at his woman, who was focused on his son, and his eyes hardened; a hint of dismay appeared on his chiseled features thereafter .
