Chapter 209: Soon to be Born

Chapter 209

Zhao Runze also did not expect to see Pei Jing at his own doorstep.

At this moment, his mood was complicated, both excited and apprehensive.

Enduring his temper, he walked to Pei Jing and asked, "Comrade, are you here looking for me?"

With An Jingzhi still waiting for her at the hospital, Pei Jing also had no time to beat around the bush with him. He said directly, "Hello Teacher Zhao, I'd like to have a chat with you, may I?"

"Of course, let's find a quiet place to talk. There's a bench by the river not far ahead, shall we go there?" Zhao Runze didn't live alone, his parents were at home, and his brothers who were married also lived in the cramped house. Clearly it was not a place for conversation.

Pei Jing pushed his bike along, following Zhao Runze to the riverside, where the two of them sat down on the bench.

Compared to Zhao Runze's awkward gestures and restless hands and feet, Pei Jing, who had seen storms, still did not show any ripples on his face.

"You are Comrade Pei, right? I've heard of you. You came to see me today because..." In fact, he had found out everything he could about An Meixia, so he lamented the tricks fate had played.

She married Pei Jing when Pei Jing did not have those awakened memories.

"I just wanted to ask Teacher Zhao, what was the meaning of that note you gave my wife at the hospital yesterday?" Pei Jing said bluntly.

This was something Zhao Runze did not anticipate - that An Jingzhi would show Pei Jing that note.

That was his secret that he had kept for many years. If it weren't for An Meixia, he would never have taken it out. And now it was exposed to someone else's eyes.

"It was meaningless, just some random gibberish. Comrade Pei, don't overthink it." Even though those memories were awakened, Zhao Runze was still just an ordinary elementary school teacher, thinking a bit more than others at best. But his own life experience was laid bare - trying to fool an old hand like Pei Jing was almost impossible.

Pei Jing spoke unhurriedly but with oppressive force. "Teacher Zhao Runze and Miss An Meixia. Teacher Zhao sure knows how to make up stories. Don't I have sufficient reason to suspect that you harbor improper intentions towards my wife, so you fabricated such a story, and now you still want to try to get close to her?"

"I don't have any intentions, and your wife is not An Meixia." He wanted to say that he didn't make up stories, but he couldn't deny that he did want to get close to An Jingzhi.

The story of Zhao Runze and An Meixia was too tragic. He had been waiting for four years, and had long merged those memories into his own heart.

He had fantasized countless times that if they were reunited, they would definitely have a wonderful time together. But suddenly, just when he was fully prepared, the woman of his dreams had become another man's wife, and had given birth to several children too.

Who could understand such a blow?

This time, he didn't want to have any more regrets.

He just didn't know if Heaven would give him another chance to choose again.

...

When Pei Jing returned to the hospital, An Jingzhi was lying in bed. She did not look very well, her brows tightly knitted together, enduring something.

He quickly walked over to see her hand trembling over her belly, a thin layer of sweat also emerging on her face.

"Jingzhi, what's wrong?" Pei Jing hurriedly grabbed her hand, finding it shaking badly.

But An Jingzhi withdrew her hand from his palm, asking in a quivering voice, "Where did you go?"

"Didn't I tell you I had something to do? How are you feeling? Is the pain severe?" Pei Jing gently explained while regretting leaving her alone in the ward, otherwise he could have discovered her agony earlier.

Although no one could replace a woman in the pain of childbirth.

"Endure it a little longer, I'll go get the doctor right away."

As Pei Jing was about to leave, An Jingzhi endured the pain to ask him, "Why did you ask about An Meixia?"

He probably didn't know that after hearing from him that An Jingzhi was alone at the hospital, An Jingzhi had come to see her. Also hearing the three words "An Meixia" from Pei Jing's mouth, he thought perhaps An Jingzhi didn't hate those three words that much, and casually brought it up.

"I didn't mean to ask about An Meixia, I just wanted to get to the bottom of where that note came from." Pei Jing quickly explained, "Jingzhi, I don't know what you're trying to hide, but that note clearly has extraordinary power, and the matter is related to you. So we must find out its origins. If there's nothing else then fine, but if there is, we have to deal with it cleanly and early, otherwise no one can be sure if some uncontrollable things might happen because of this. Trust me, you're my wife and the mother of my children, I will never harm you."

Pei Jing's heart was racing, extremely worried about her condition. He simply picked her up and carried her out the door.

"Nurse, my wife is going into labor..."

Two nurses jogged over. Seeing Pei Jing easily carrying the pregnant woman, one directed him, "Carry her to the delivery room, over here."

[I'll give an explanation - the first life's story will be interspersed in the plot, which is why Zhao Runze appears.

Also, don't be confused - this is a double purity story, faithful in the past and present lives.]
