Chapter 389

Zhang Lin's face turned pale, no matter how thick her skin was, she still looked ugly at this moment.

Since she was young, Zhang Lin had relied on her face to maneuver between men, and had always been invincible. But she had failed in front of this man several times.

But a woman like her just had a cheap character. The more she could not get it, the more restless she was.

Looking at Pei Jing's back, a firm light of must-win flashed in Zhang Lin's eyes.

Pei Jing opened the door and returned to the room. He saw Wanqing had just finished washing up with his daughter. Her hair was wrapped in a hair dryer cap and hadn't been blown dry yet, with drops of water oozing from the ends.

"You look so ugly, have you met someone you don't want to meet again?" Because that was the case yesterday, Wanqing couldn't help asking. "I met a lunatic." In front of his daughter, Pei Jing didn't dare to say it too bluntly, for fear of teaching the child badly.

But the contempt in his eyes was unabashed at all.

Although he was usually stern and cold, he was always a well-mannered person. This time he was really disgusted, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say such sharp words.

If the other party was a heinous villain, he was not afraid at all. On the contrary, it was the harassment of such shameless people that disgusted him the most. He could do nothing about her and could only use some simple verbal attacks to make her know the difficulties and retreat.

Wanqing was at the age of being very curious. Without hearing Pei Jing's implication, she really thought he had met a lunatic, and curiously asked, "Dad, what did the lunatic do to you?"

"If she could really do anything to me, wouldn't your dad's years of practice have been in vain?" When facing his daughter, Pei Jing's face began to improve.

Seeing that she still wanted to ask something, Pei Jing hurriedly interrupted her and deliberately said, "Didn't you just clamor that you were too tired to walk? Now you have the strength again? Or let's go to the Imperial Palace or museum this afternoon to take a quick look so we can go back sooner?"

"No, no, my legs are almost broken. Let's go tomorrow. I'll take a nap now." Wanqing widened her eyes in fright and hurried back into the quilt.

Wanqing signaled to him with her eyes, "You go take a shower and relax your muscles, then take a nap. Let's go around nearby this afternoon to see if there are any specialties that would be good to bring back for grandpa and grandma."

"Okay." Pei Jing took the towel from her and turned to enter the bathroom. Wanqing whispered a few words to her daughter, then followed him in.

Pei Jing had just taken off his outer clothes and was still wearing his autumn clothes and pants.

The bathroom was completely separated from the bedroom. With the door closed, they could talk softly without being overheard outside.

"Did you run into Zhang Lin again outside?" His expression today was so similar to yesterday's, it wasn't hard to guess.

Pei Jing sighed. Except for topics related to the army, they generally had no secrets from each other.

It was because of this that the two trusted each other more.

After listening to the whole story, Wanqing couldn't help but frown, even though they hadn't suffered any loss or injury.

This Zhang Lin was really annoying.

"Don't get angry. It's not worth getting angry over someone like her. Go rest quickly. We'll go out again tonight and find another hotel to stay in. There's no way we'll run into her again by coincidence." Pei Jing said.

Wanqing nodded, but still couldn't help saying, "Although this woman is not up to much, she has always been obsessed with you."

"Don't annoy me. I don't care how other women are, as long as you are always true to me."

"It is said that true hearts exchange true hearts. If you really treat me well, then I will naturally reciprocate."

Pei Jing smiled and was in no hurry to urge her to leave. On the contrary, his interest was aroused and he hugged her by the waist and pressed his lips down.

Lingering and lingering, entangled endlessly...

"Fool, do you still not know if my heart is true or not?" Pei Jing panted and pressed her in his arms, but didn't dare continue. After all, there was still a child outside, and they were not so shameless.

"Let's stop talking. Let go of me quickly. I have to go out. Wanqing is grown up now. Don't embarrass yourself in front of the child."

Pei Jing obediently let go of his hands.

In front of his daughter, he should indeed pay attention.

After Wanqing went out, completely blocking the view inside, the sound of running water immediately rang out from the bathroom.

She blew her hair dry with a hairdryer, then walked to the bed to see Wanqing already asleep under the quilt. They had stayed up late last night, and got up early this morning, so she must have been extremely tired to fall asleep so quickly.

Wanqing lifted the quilt and lay down, gently kissing her daughter's face before blissfully burying herself in the quilt.

When Pei Jing came out, she was already fast asleep. He walked over and tucked them in properly before turning to go to the sofa.

The sofa was not big, it could only accommodate him lying there. It might be more comfortable with several brats. But the world was still not very peaceful nowadays, so it was even more worrying to let mother and daughter stay alone.

Chenye on the other side was also grown up, and had always been sensible. His fighting skills were personally trained by Pei Jing, and the triplets had also practiced martial arts for several years, so self-protection was absolutely no problem at all, so they didn't need to worry too much about the children.

He had originally planned to sleep until mid-afternoon before getting up, but apparently he was too tired and opened his eyes to find it was already dark outside.

When Wanqing sat up from the bed, Wanqing was still asleep, and Pei Jing's figure was gone from the sofa.

She groped out of bed in the dark and put on her shoes. Pei Jing had just returned from outside.

Wanqing was afraid of waking Wanqing, so she pulled him to the door and asked in a low voice, "How long have you been awake? Where are those little guys?"

"I just came back from their room. Chenye took them out to eat. Are you hungry?" Pei Jing said softly.

If it was the other children, he would have called them to eat. But Wanqing had always been irritable when woken up from a bad sleep. Her whole mood would become very annoyed.

The family knew her quirks, so there were rarely situations where she was woken up before she was fully awake.

Fortunately, her schedule was usually regular. She got up at the fixed time of 6 a.m. every day to catch breakfast and go to school. At other times, they wouldn't force her.

Just as they were talking, there was the sound of tossing and turning from the bed as Wanqing sat up.

"Mom..." She murmured hoarsely.

"Awake? Did you sleep well? Your brother has taken your brothers out to eat. Are you hungry?" Wanqing hurriedly asked.

"Mm." Wanqing nodded and groped her way out of bed to put on her shoes.

Having just opened her eyes, they hadn't adjusted to the bright light yet, so Wanqing didn't turn on the lights. Luckily the moonlight tonight was good, shining in through the windows to provide some brightness.

After she went to wash up, Wanqing turned on the bedside lamp so she could see clearly when she came out without being blinded.

The family had been in a happy mood, but as soon as they opened the door, they saw Zhang Lin leaning against the wall in the corridor.

After so many years, this was the first time Wanqing had run into her. She had to admit that this woman did have the capital to fascinate people, so it was no wonder she was so arrogant.
