Chapter 387

Although this trip was for the whole family, the main purpose was to accompany the daughter. After all, with what had just happened, the child was now at a stage without true friends, so as parents they should pay more attention to her mental state.

Pei Jing came back quite early, just in time for lunch. After lunch, he explained things to Sister Zhang, and then they went out.

At this time, the downsides of having so many kids became apparent.

Pei Jing drove back, but with the whole family going out together, one car obviously wouldn’t fit everyone, so they could only choose to take the train for the long journey.

Jin City was a southern city, while the Capital City was in the north, quite far away.

They arrived in the Capital City in the middle of the night. Little Six was already asleep, and the others were also clearly tired.

"Where are we staying?"

Compared to Pei Jing, Wanqing definitely wasn’t as familiar with the outside world. Due to his career, although he had spent a lot of time in the army over the years, he had also been to quite a few places during that time.

"Let's stay at a hotel," Pei Jing said. He had done his research ever since they decided to come. "There's a hotel that just opened last year not far from the train station. It has accommodations and food. I went there last year, it was pretty good."

"Okay, let's hurry up and go then," Wanqing urged him. "I'm exhausted from sitting in the car."

Since they couldn't buy so many berths at once, they could only choose the seated carriage. People were packed tightly together, and it felt like her back would never straighten up again.

"You never want to exercise more usually, and now you know your physical fitness is lacking?" Pei Jing teased her. After sitting on the train for so long, he showed no change in energy levels at all. Plus, he had been holding Little Six without putting him down since getting off the train.

Chenye and the triplets also seemed spirited. Wanqing was a bit more worn out. Looking at it this way, Wanqing was actually the most pathetic.

But there was no way around it. She simply didn't want to exert herself or make things difficult for herself. Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

Having been given a second chance at life, she just wanted to enjoy it more and go with the flow.

"Hurry up, it's so late already. Let's get to our place quickly and rest," Wanqing urged him.

Luckily all their things were in the spatial storage. Each child carried a small bag with a change of clothes.

After leaving the train station, the area before them was awash with neon lights. After walking a short distance, they saw a large sign. This was the hotel Pei Jing had mentioned.

The few kids were all a bit worn out, although their eyes showed curiosity. But at this time, their energy levels were clearly limited.

Wanqing thought and thought some more, then decided to notify Wu Lei.

But to her greater surprise, Wu Lei had already seen Zhang Lin before.

While Zhang Lin could be heartless, Wu Lei could not be, after all Zhang Lin was still his son's mother. Arguing back and forth would only end up hurting the child in the end.

His life was stable now, his career successful, so naturally his mindset had broadened.

He and Zhang Lin had also reached an agreement. As long as Zhang Lin didn't actively provoke him or appear before their son, Wu Lei would also pretend not to see her. The two would be complete strangers to each other.

On this point, Wanqing sincerely admired Wu Lei's magnanimity.

Before dawn, there was a knock on the door. Pei Jing got up and opened it, and several children rushed into the room in a stream. "Mom, wake up quick! We're going to climb the Great Wall today..."

"No way! I want to go see the Forbidden City and museums..."

In an instant, the children began arguing loudly over where to go play first.

"Stop arguing," Pei Jing settled them down with one sentence. "We'll go to the Great Wall first, then the Forbidden City..."

"Have you all washed up and brushed your teeth?"

"We did."

"Chenye, first take them downstairs to see the dining options. Order what you each want to eat, but don't waste food. Finish everything you order."

While Pei Jing arranged their time, Wanqing and Wanqing were getting ready.

When they finished and went downstairs, the kids were already sitting in the dining area eating.

The hotel breakfast was buffet style, and meal fees were already included in the lodging fees. Since Wanqing had just gotten up and didn't have an appetite, she only had an egg and a bowl of porridge.

Wanqing ate quite a lot, needing nutrition to grow. Although Pei Jing also ate a lot, he was also quick.

After finishing breakfast, they headed out when there was just a faint morning light outside. At this time of day, the sky hadn't yet been polluted and you could faintly see lingering stars that hadn't managed to return home.

The air contained moist, foggy traces, deeply inhaling a breath that carried a refreshingly cool meaning.
