After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 207

Pei Jing warned him with a look, his voice not loud, but just enough for Zhi Xia to hear, "If you're really so bored, you can go pick up the two kids. I just got home and haven't had a chance to see the two kids yet."

An Zhiren still wanted to retort, when he heard his sister's voice coming over, "That's right, big brother, please bring Chenye and Wanqing over. These two kids missed him as soon as they got back. Wanqing cried for her dad the other night after she just got back. Who knows how happy they'll be when they see you're back."

Zhi Xia also missed when their family was together. It's just that he wasn't by her side and she was pregnant, so she really didn't have the energy to take care of the kids either, so she could only have them stay at their grandmother's.

His little sister had spoken, so An Zhiren could only resign himself and say, "Fine, I'll go pick them up."

After An Zhiren left, Zhi Xia sized up Pei Jing carefully, "Looking at you like this, it really does seem like you just got home and came straight here. You haven't even shaved yet. Why don't you go freshen up in the space? The two kids will think you're messy when they see you like this later."

What she really wanted to say was, no wonder it felt a little prickly when they kissed earlier. It was just that the feeling of their reunion was too sweet for her to bear to let go.

"Alright," Pei Jing rubbed his chin. He didn't actually reject the idea. He really did look disheveled after just getting off the train and going without grooming himself for days. Although he had been restraining himself from smoking, his clothes still inevitably smelled of other people's cigarette smoke.

Pei Jing suddenly regretted it a bit that he had gone to hug her so recklessly earlier.

He closed the door again before turning around to take Zhi Xia's hand. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were in the space.

Pei Jing had gotten quite skilled at this. He took off his cotton coat and threw it to the side, grabbed a towel, and went into the bathroom.

It only occurred to him then to ask her, "Why don't we bathe together? Otherwise after you give birth, you won't be able to bathe or wash your hair for quite a while."

He saw that Zhi Xia's hair was also a bit oily. It definitely hadn't been washed for at least two to three days.

When she was pregnant with the twins, they hadn't been separated at all. Pei Jing had been by her side attending to her the whole time. This time with him not around, she could only make do.

In fact, Zhi Xia wasn't that dirty. She just didn't dare wash her hair, since she was staying in the hospital and her brother came to visit her several times a day. It would be hard to explain if she suddenly washed her hair.

Now that Pei Jing invited her, she became a little tempted.

After they washed up, Pei Jing used a hair dryer to dry her long hair, then threw his clothes into the washing machine.

"You changed all your clothes. What will you say when big brother comes back?" Zhi Xia asked him.

"It's not that cold out. I'll just wear a sweater later. He won't suspect anything," Pei Jing opened the closet to select a pair of pants similar to what he was just wearing. The sweater was hand knitted by Zhi Xia and very thick. He also grabbed a scarf for himself.

Seeing that he was dressed warmly enough, Zhi Xia didn't say anything more.

"Then you get dressed first. There's food prepared in the kitchen. Go eat something first," Zhi Xia said as she exited the bedroom.

Pei Jing got dressed and as he lifted his head, he saw the note on the table. He casually picked it up to take a look.

Zhi Xia called him from outside, so he put the note back down before going out.

On the dining table there was meat, vegetables, and big shrimp, quite sumptuous.

Pei Jing ladled soup for Zhi Xia, "Just focus on taking care of yourself and eat."

But Zhi Xia didn't pick up her chopsticks, "Mom will come over to bring dinner tonight. If I eat now, I won't be able to eat later."

Of course the food from Zhi Xia's space would be more abundant, the ingredients better, more nourishing.

Pei Jing said, "Eat this stuff for now. I'll take care of your mom's dinner when she brings it over later."

Only then did Zhi Xia nod.

With her sudden pregnancy of triplets, her body needed a lot of nutrients, resulting in a big appetite, but she only ate until about seventy percent full before stopping.

After they finished eating, Pei Jing cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks. There was no time to hang up the laundry from the washing machine before Zhi Xia sensed movement from outside and pulled Pei Jing's hand out of the space.

There was a knock at the door and the children's eager voices came through, "Mommy, mommy, open the door quick. Your precious babies are here..."

Zhi Xia couldn't resist a faint laugh at their teasing, "Aren't you going to hurry up and open the door for your precious babies?"

Pei Jing laughed helplessly and took big strides to open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, the two little ones charged in, each grabbing onto one of his legs.

"Uncle didn't lie. Daddy, I missed you so much..." Pei Wanqing whined, reaching up her hands wanting to be held. Pei Chenye clearly more mature, slapped down her hands, "You're so big already but still want hugs. Aren't you embarrassed?"

"Hmph, mean big brother!"

Wanqing pouted her lips, and the next second Pei Jing picked her up.

"Daddy was very tired originally, but as soon as I saw our two precious babies, suddenly I'm not tired anymore," He hadn't shown any favoritism between them, luckily his arm strength was great enough to hold one child in each arm without leaning one way or the other.

At first he thought boys ought to be brought up tougher and girls more delicately. But Zhi Xia disagreed. She believed the two children should be treated equally.

And he also couldn't stand it each time he only held his daughter and saw the obvious disappointment in his son's eyes.

Luckily Chenye was steadier, displaying quite the big brotherly style at a young age. For now he would be more lenient emotionally with them. He could cultivate Chenye properly later on after he grew older. It wouldn't be too late.

An Zhiren of course noticed something abnormal with Zhi Xia, "Did Zhi Xia wash her hair?"

The hospital water was inconvenient to use, and this room didn't have its own bathroom.

"I took her out to wash it," Pei Jing casually explained, "I was on the train for a few days and smelled like smoke all over. It would make the kids sick."

There were bathhouses outside the hospital. An Zhiren guessed they had gone to wash there. But talking with Pei Jing, he still couldn't help but tease him, "The two of you even locked the door. If others didn't know they would think you were up to no good inside."

Afraid that he would ask more questions and annoy him, Pei Jing dismissively shooed him, "The kids are here already too. Since you have no business, hurry up and leave. I can take care of things on this end."

"You haven't finished using the donkey yet you're killing it. Isn't that going too far?" An Zhiren asked him, "I was the one who took care of your kids for a few days you know."

Pei Jing's eyes twitched as he smiled at him, "You weren't doing me any favor taking care of my kids, you were taking care of your own nephew and niece."

Go ahead, don't even let the kids call you uncle.

This rendered An Zhiren unable to retort, defeat in battle banter wise.

Holding back his exasperation as he left the room, he let out a faint chuckle.

Such a leisurely spar of words was really rare these past few years.

The two years of his calculated marriage life had changed him entirely. Others might not see through his disguise, but he himself understood very clearly that he had ultimately become different from the past.

He truly liked these two kids, as lively and cute as a ray of sunshine into his gloomy heart, adding another dash of light.

Perhaps he could consider his mother's suggestion to go on some arranged marriage meetings. If he happened to meet a suitable match he could get married and have kids, and get his life back on the right path.

As An Zhiren was contemplating, a familiar figure passed by in front of him.

She didn't notice him, but still brought up his feeling of humiliation again.

Just a flash and she had disappeared from sight, only then did An Zhiren take a deep breath and continue on his way.
