Chapter 1256 - Do you like mommy or that uncle?

“Your mother and I are on good terms.”

Little Ran Ran’s eyes sparkled when she was lifted by Ji Ziming.

Those sparkling eyes of hers seemed to contain the galaxy, making her look particularly adorable.

“Yay! Uncle, toss me in the air!”

“What’s that?”

The man’s stone heart softened at the child’s request.

His eyes brimmed with gentleness as he looked at this little face which resembled Pei Ge’s.

He looked just like a father who doted on his daughter.

“It’s exactly that, uncle; toss me in the air!”

The child made a throwing gesture with her tender arms.

His heart grew softer when he saw her cute action.

“I know what you’re talking about, but it’s not a safe game to play.”

He carried the girl with one hand and used his other to pat her head.

Although his flawless face was expressionless, Pei Ge could see the paternal love the man had for her daughter.

“It’s not, uncle! Just toss me in the air, please!”

The child was not afraid of strangers and happily wrapped her arms around the man as she acted cutesy to him.

“Ran Ran, get down! Stop being naughty!”

Seeing her daughter getting out of hand, she snorted and reached out to carry her.

Who knew that her daughter would avoid her hand and bury her head in his embrace, instead?

“I like that uncle and am not being naughty!”

The child’s words stunned her.

This was the first time her daughter had disobeyed her, and it was because of Ji Ziming.

Could it be their… blood calling? Even though these two were unaware of their relationship, it seemed fated for them to meet…

“Pei Ge, don’t be fierce with the child.”

It was the man’s turn to tell her off.

“…”

She was left speechless by his words.

Her daughter even made a face at her.

“…” This was truly absurd! Whose daughter was this little lass?

Just as the two adults were facing each other off, neither noticed the disappointment that flashed across Ji Chi’s face.

He pursed his lips tightly and looked at how loving his father was when he carried Ran Ran. Disappointment filled his eyes.

Daddy has never carried me like that…

After much hard work, the woman finally managed to send out the man.

She felt her head ache when she saw that her kids were still awake after she had showered.

“You guys, why are you still awake?”

She went to the bed and smacked their heads lightly.

It was about time that these two slept but they were still this energetic.

“Mommy, can I play with uncle again?”

The girl snuggled into her arm and hugged it as she blinked at her.

“Why do you like him so much?” she asked, feeling curious. Even if they were father and daughter, they had just met each other twice.

“That’s because uncle plays with me! He lets me ride him!”

The girl giggled without thinking.

“Your godfather also plays with you, right?”

This was what she was confused about. Although that man had been with them much longer and treated them well, she had never seen her kids bothering him like how they would their father.

“Wuuu!”

The child blinked and thought about it seriously after hearing her mother’s question.

“That’s because I like that uncle! Also, I had a dream about him before!”

“…”

The corners of her mouth twitched when she heard her daughter’s reply.

Alright. A child’s preference was really something unexplainable…

Dream?

It was really a child’s answer!

She did not take her daughter’s response to heart. Sighing helplessly, she hugged her children to sleep.

“You guys, do you really like that uncle?”

“Yes! Ran Ran likes that uncle, including that little brother!”

“I… like them, too.” An An, who had never been one to express his emotions, offered.

She felt more upset upon hearing their reply.

“If only we were a family! That way, I could be with that uncle every day and play with our little brother often!” The girl sank her head deeper into her chest as she childishly mumbled this.

“…” Pei Ge’s heart sank further upon hearing her daughter’s wistful thought.

It turned out that the two really liked Ji Ziming…

“Who do you two like more, mommy or that uncle?” It sounded childish, yet she still asked such a question.

“Of course, it’s mommy! You’re shy! Clearly, you feel jealous of our uncle!”

“I like you the most, too.”

The two gave that answer without hesitation.

Her nose tingled upon hearing their reply and hugged them even tighter.

“Sorry, sorry. Mommy has let you guys down…”

Please forgive mommy’s selfishness of not letting you know who your biological father is…

Mommy is just too afraid of losing you two…

Sorry…

…

“Miss Qiao… that vixen from five years ago is back.”

Utter disbelief was written all over her face when she heard the aged female on the other end say that.

“What?! Impossible! That other Pei Ge is a mere imposter…”

“She’s not that imposter. That vixen from five years ago goes by a new name now. We’ve seen her already.”

“Who is it?”

She narrowed her eyes at once as darkness and loathing filled them.

“That Miss Regina.”

“Regina…”

It turns out to be her… No wonder she can get… liking.
