Chapter 421 -410: I Can’t Bear to Leave You

An unrealistic idea unexpectedly sprang up in her heart.

Come to think of it, she realized she had never asked if the two little ones were blood siblings.

Because of the way they interacted, with Anan calling Pingping “brother,” she had always assumed that they were real siblings.

“Pingping, are you and Anan blood siblings?”

Pingping shook his head, answering truthfully.

“No, I met Anan on the street before. She was also alone with no home to return to.”

Anan blinked her big eyes, her face lighting up with an innocent smile.

“Hehe, if Brother hadn’t taken me in, I might have starved to death. I was so hungry back then, and Brother gave me the last little piece of bun he had on him.

Later, Brother and I collected bottles together to buy buns, so we didn’t go hungry.”

Qiao Jing pursed her red lips, her eyes filled with compassion as she looked at Pingping.

Pingping was a wandering child himself, taking in Anan despite barely being able to feed and clothe himself.

Yet, the joining of two lonely children added companionship to their wandering journey, making it less solitary.

Pingping showed a simple smile, scratching his head shyly.

“We did go hungry sometimes… Sometimes there weren’t enough bottles, and we had less money.”

Anan poked Pingping’s arm.

“But I didn’t go hungry. Brother is the best.”

Seeing the pair in such a state melted Qiao Jing’s heart so she couldn’t help but pull them into her arms and ruffle their little heads.

“How about I take you to the welfare institute in a few days?”

She was now somewhat reluctant to send them off to the welfare institute so soon. She wanted at least to buy them some new clothes before sending them there.

She really liked these sensible little ones and even had the notion of letting them stay here longer.

But, she was currently pregnant with triplets and also had to deal with work. Selfishly keeping them might not provide the all-around care they needed. It would be better to send them to the Angel Welfare Institute, where dedicated staff could look after them.

Although embarrassed, Pingping eventually expressed his reluctance to leave Qiao Jing’s side and nodded.

“Okay.”

Anan pouted, tears starting to well up in her big eyes as she clung to Qiao Jing’s arm.

“Sister Qiao, if we go to the welfare institute, does it mean we won’t see you anymore?”

Qiao Jing hadn’t expected Anan to cry and was momentarily stunned.

Seeing Qiao Jing not responding, Anan thought they would never see her again, and tears uncontrollably began to stream down, falling pitter-patter onto Qiao Jing’s arm.

She lifted her hand to wipe away her tears, her small mouth quivering as she sobbed.

“Sister Qiao, I don’t want to not see you; I’m going to miss you… When we go to the welfare institute… could you maybe come to visit us occasionally?”

Qiao Jing reached out to wipe Anan’s tears and smiled with a look of compassion.

“I was actually planning to visit you often, and the welfare institute has many children and teachers. You can play together.”

Her heart couldn’t bear to part with the little ones, even though she knew Pingping and Anan would be well off at the welfare institute. Still, she wanted to visit them often.

Pingping gently patted Anan’s back.

Anan stopped her tears, her long eyelashes still wet with tear droplets.

“Really? Then, can Brother and I also see you often, Sister Qiao?”

Qiao Jing gently nodded, smiling as she pinched Anan’s gaunt face.

“Why would I lie to you?”

Only then did Anan crack a smile, drying the remaining tears on her face with her hand.

Qiao Jing led the two little ones to the living room couch, turning on the TV to a cartoon for them to watch.

She, on the other hand, sat on the side reading a medical book.

Time was passing by, second by second.

Qiao Jing was deeply engrossed in her book when a man’s deep, magnetic voice reached her ears.

“It’s time for dinner.”

Qiao Jing paused her reading to look up at the clock on the wall, only to find it was already six in the evening.

She closed the medical book and glanced at the two little ones.

She was closely seated with Pingping and Anan at her sides, who probably heard Zhan Qipei’s voice and became cautious again.

Qiao Jing smiled and took both of their hands, coming to sit down at the dining table.

During this time, Pingping and Anan cautiously glanced at Zhan Qipei several times, noticing that the man’s expression was not very good, and they moved closer to Qiao Jing.

Even during the meal, they did not want to be apart from Qiao Jing and stuck closely to her sides.

Qiao Jing smiled and served a considerable piece of meat to each of the little ones.

“Let’s eat.”

The smile that appeared on Pingping and Anan’s faces became a bit more restrained as they answered in unison.

“Thank you, Sister Qiao Qiao!”

Qiao Jing smiled and was just about to continue with her own meal when a bowl suddenly extended in front of her.

She looked up at the man.

“What’s the matter?”

Zhan Qipei pursed his lips and glanced at the little ones’ bowls, then at his own.

“I want you to help me serve the food too.”

She was clearly his wife, yet Qiao Jing was serving the children and not him!

Qiao Jing felt somewhat speechless and glanced at the chopsticks in Zhan Qipei’s hand.

“Can’t you serve yourself?”

This man used to treat her as if she couldn’t manage life on her own, and now he’s turned it around?

Zhan Qipei cast a resentful look at the little ones and assertively said,

“You just served them.”

He couldn’t believe that Qiao Jing would favor the two kids.

The point was, these kids had known his wife for less than two days.

Yet, these kids were enjoying a privilege he never had before.

Qiao Jing, growing even more speechless, pursed her lips subtly.

“Pingping and Anan are using spoons; it’s inconvenient for them to serve themselves. If you won’t serve yourself with the chopsticks, then just go hungry.”

She now thought that Zhan Qipei, this silly man, probably treated Pingping and Anan as rivals in love as well.

It seemed like, in his eyes, anyone around her or known to her, whether man or woman, old or young, was considered a rival in love by Zhan Qipei.

Even the children were included on the list of rivals in love.

The big eyes of the two little ones occasionally peered at Zhan Qipei, their fearful looks mixed with curiosity.

They each looked down at the meat in their bowls and then at Zhan Qipei.

Pingping opened his little mouth, hesitated for a while and still chose not to speak.

Anan frowned, her baby voice filled with confusion.

“Sister Qiao, I have a spoon, so I can’t serve Brother Zhan.

Brother Zhan can’t do it himself, so could you help him a little?”

Zhan Qipei’s grim expression softened as he stared at Anan.

He hadn’t expected Anan to have such endearing traits, even speaking up for him.

He still didn’t take back his bowl, choosing Qiao Jing serving him over saving his face any day.

Why would he care about face when wooing his wife?

If he had cared about face from the beginning, he and Qiao Jing might not have had their story to follow.

If he missed his wife because of his pride, he would regret it for a lifetime.

Qiao Jing reluctantly served a piece of meat into the man’s bowl.

“Alright, alright, I served you now, happy?”

That finally satisfied Zhan Qipei, and he took his bowl back.

As night fell, after the two little ones fell asleep, Zhan Qipei came to the door of Qiao Jing’s room.

“The amusement park opens tomorrow night; I’m taking you there.”

He had already prepared the route; tomorrow night the amusement park would be just for the two of them.
