Chapter 1316 - There are conditions for me and the children to acknowledge you.

“If you are worried about my parents, they are not a problem. I’ve said this before; there will be no obstacles between us, and no one can stop me from marrying you.”

His words were so certain and convincing that Pei Ge’s restlessness was eased by it.

However, it was one thing for her mind to be at ease and another for her principles to be met.

“Lip-service isn’t enough.”

Her lips curled up as she raised her chin slightly and looked at him with a warning.

“If you want me and my children to acknowledge you, not only should you succeed in convincing your parents about our wedding, you must also properly deal with Qiao Jingyun.”

That woman was the culprit to her child’s death. If not for her, their family of five would have lived in bliss...

“...Rest assured; I won’t let her off even if you don’t say it.”

His expression turned frigid at the mention of that woman’s name.

If it were in the past, he would still take into account that she was his benefactor.

However, after so many rounds of scheming, she had already exhausted what was left of his meager patience!

The only reason he had not moved was that he found something suspicious.

That night, did he or did he not sleep with that woman...

If he did, then what happened on Pei Ge’s side?

If he did not, then... where did Ji Chi come from?

This was something inconceivable.

“You should be tired from such a long flight. Go take a rest.”

Spotting the fatigue on her face, he stopped her from drinking coffee and softly coaxed her to sleep.

“No, I have pending work.”

She shook her head. She had rushed back to New York, so she was unable to hand over her work in time.

“It’s just a short rest. I’m not forbidding you from working.”

He snatched her coffee away and took a sip.

“Your skill in coffee brewing hasn’t improved at all. It’s still this—”

Pei Ge rolled her eyes at him.

“It’s still this disgustingly sweet? I know. You are so annoying! Back then, you’ve never eased on scolding me over coffee brewing...”

Her grievances had yet to be aired out completely when he interrupted her.

“No. What I wanted to say is that the coffee you brew is still this delicious.”

She was momentarily speechless at this.

“Huh? Are you alright?”

The coffee she made always had sugar and milk that even her children could not take the sweetness of it, yet this man, who used to regard the coffee she brewed with disdain, was actually praising it?

Was his brain wired wrongly?

“Mhm. It’s truly delicious. You don’t know how much I thought of you every time I drank coffee in the past few years. I only realized how much I missed the coffee you brewed after you left.”

He had a light smile on his face and his eyes were filled with inexplicable helplessness and... deep loving.

“Everything about you charms me, beckons me...”

He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

The exceedingly saccharin taste and milky fragrance exploded in Pei Ge’s mouth, making herself unknowingly indulge in this affectionate kiss.

“So don’t leave me anymore...”

I really don’t know how to live in a world without you...
