Chapter 1426: 1426
Chapter 1426: Qu Jingwan cooks up a scheme .
“Ziming, I…”
She choked, unable to continue . Her beautiful eyes misted over, making them look as beautiful as the bright moon in his eyes .
“I know about all of it . ” He lightly assured her, then leaned forward against the lamp post next to her . “You don’t need to say anything . I know about all of it . ”
Pei Ge lightly nodded . No matter their ending, she was already very satisfied that someone like him was waiting for her among the sea of people .
Qu Jingwan stood under the Chinese parasol tree, looking at the couple moving closer to each other . As their lips met, her fingers curled up to the point of her knuckles turning white .
The sweetness of the woman’s lips was akin to opium to the man, making him unwilling to end it .
The bright moon was reflected in the swimming pool along with theirs, and their image in it seemed to merge into one .
After a long while, the man finally released the woman .
“I have to tell you something . ” Blushing, Pei Ge looked up at him .
“Say it . ” Ji Ziming nodded, his eyes turning warm, like the sun when it was setting .
“I think Ping An is about to remember me . ”
“Hm?”
At the mention of his son, the man recalled how that boy had stolen his woman’s attention at the dinner table . His eyes turned dark as unknown emotions swirled in them .
“He didn’t reject me when I told them a bedtime story today . He also didn’t reject me when I put food in his bowl but only hesitated a bit before eating the food in the end . Do you think he’s about to remember me?”
It was only after she finished speaking that she realized that the gentle expression on his handsome face had disappeared .
Surprised, she tugged at his clothes . “What’s wrong?”
“I can also eat it . ” He grunted .
“What?” It took her some time to register that he was jealous .
“Ha ha! You…”She poked him on the chest, laughing . “Are you getting jealous of our son? How old are you already?”
“I don’t care . ” His obsidian eyes turned slightly bright, making them feel warmer under the cold moonlight .
“I’ll take note of it next time . ”
“How will you do that?”
How? This question made her pause .
“At most, I will just make more cucumber for you . ”
“I don’t want to eat cucumber . ”
“Then, what do you want to eat?”
“I want to eat you . ”

He gave a sly smile, looking down at her as the danger in his eyes turned up a few notches .
Behind the Chinese parasol tree, Qu Jingwan stared at the couple coldly . She thought of when she could drive the woman out of this house . She knew that she could not act recklessly given the latter’s status and identity . Although her heart did not lie with this man, she would definitely help the one she loved get what he wanted .
“Pei Ge, I’ll drive you out of this house sooner or later!” She made a solemn vow with her fists balled up .
“I’ll definitely!”
“I’m no cucumber, so no eating involved here . ”
“You’re much tastier than cucumber . ” He released his hold of her arm and turned to hold her hand, instead, saying, “Let’s go . I’ll bring you to another place . ”
“Where else do you wanna bring me?” She asked with a smile . The love in her eyes and the sweetness of her smile could not be hidden, making the lady, who was watching them from a hidden corner, burn with jealousy .
“Hey, let’s go on a family trip in our free time . ” Pei Ge stood in the same spot while looking at the man seriously .
“No . ” Ji Ziming’s eyes turned slightly heavy .
“Why?” she asked, confused .
“Because we need to get married first . ” The corners of his lips curled up . The sight of this little woman’s overturned emotions made him happy .
After the couple moved away, Qu Jingwan made her way back to her room . When she recalled the scene she had just witnessed, a scary plan started forming in her mind .

After breakfast, she eyed the vase on top of the wooden cabinet in the living room . She knew that the vase was Madam Ji’s prized possession . She was rejected yesterday when she asked to put some flowers into the vase . One could see how much the elderly woman cherished the vase .
She had shifted it slightly outward last night . As long as that woman neared it, she would definitely knock the vase off . That was because she had smeared some oil in front of the cabinet .
Meanwhile, holding a fruit basket, Pei Ge watched the three kids play on the sofa with a smile . Using a toothpick, she picked up a slice of apple and passed it to Ji Chi .
“Ping An, come and have one . ” The boy eyed Qu Jingwan, who was sitting beside him . Seeing that she had no reaction, he then hesitatingly reached out and received it .
“An An, Ran, Ran, come and have some apples, too . Mommy will poke one for you . ”
“Thank you, mommy!” Her daughter obediently looked up at her and smiled . She received the toothpick with a slice of apple from her and put it into her mouth .
“Baby, look; there’s a small bird outside the window . ” The missy pointed at the window next to the cabinet . A small bird had indeed landed on its sill . The lively bird made the lad put down the toothpick as he moved to catch it, but she stopped him .
This tug made Pei Ge halt her movements as she looked at the other woman, unable to understand the reason behind the latter’s actions .
“Why are you pulling him back? Let him go if he wants to . ”
“I… He won’t be able to catch it . The little bird will have already flown away by the time he gets there . ”
“How will you know without letting him try?”
“Then, you go . You can go catch it for him . ”
Qu Jingwan examined her expression after saying this .

The other thought for a while . Seeing the bird was still perched atop the window sill, she put down the toothpick in her hand . However, just as she stood up, the little bird quickly flapped its wings and flew away .
“Mommy, it has flown away already!” exclaimed her daughter .
“Mhm . ” She sat back down and looked at Ji Chi . “It’ll come back . ”
With a look of mockery, the lady said, “All because you scared it away . ”
“Go call it back if you can do it . ”
“What are you saying? How am I supposed to call it back when it has flown away? That’s a bird—not a person . ”
“That’s it; isn’t it?”
“You—” Qu Jingwan was incensed at this . What kind of woman is this? She’s so affectionate with Ji Ziming yesterday, and now she’s acting like a shrewd, little chili .
“What about me? Did I say anything wrong?” Pei Ge narrowed her eyes at the lady . If not for her son still being unwilling to acknowledge her as his mother and for the sake of his present condition, she would have chased her out long ago .
