Chapter 208

The two children played here until Zhou Nan came to deliver the meal and took them away in the afternoon.

With Pei Jing here to take care of her, Zhou Nan did not need to stay overnight like the previous two days. He left soon after delivering the meal, and took the two children with him.

Anyway, there was still a thermal container at home. He could come back to deliver breakfast tomorrow morning and take today's thermal container away at the same time.

During the meal, Pei Jing took good care of her and attended to her every need.

He put the washed thermal container on the table and turned around to pull An Meixia to sit on the bed, then said, "I saw the note on the table in your space."

He didn't know who Zhao Runze and An Meixia were, but he saw the extra man in An Meixia's ward when he came in, as well as the slip of paper that flashed by in her hand.

An Meixia was stunned for a moment, then said, "You saw it, so what? There's nothing to hide about it. It was just a note given to me by the man in the ward this afternoon with some inexplicable stuff written on it. I don't know what he meant, so I just casually put it into my space."

Pei Jing's fingers stroked her bangs. She didn't know if he believed what she said, but he didn't ask further.

The touch on her forehead felt itchy. An Meixia slightly raised her eyes and could just see his seemingly calm face.

He didn't say anything, but it made An Meixia very uneasy inside.

That note contained not only the entanglement between An Meixia and Zhao Runze, but also Pei Jianguo.

If Pei Jing knew about the things in that life between his uncle and nephew, could he still choose to be with her without any misgivings?

An Meixia didn't have An Meixia's memories, but she knew some things about An Meixia and Pei Jianguo from what An Meiyun said. But she didn't want Pei Jing to know.

Her life now was very peaceful and satisfying. She wanted to live well with Pei Jing and did not want to get involved in those unnecessary storms.

But Zhao Runze regaining his memories made her feel flustered inside.

She really hoped he would never show up again and not disrupt her life.

An Meixia reached out to caress his cheek. Her big belly prevented her from standing on tiptoe, so she hooked his neck with her hand instead.

Her pink lips met his like a feather, gentle and sweet.

Pei Jing was very helpless, but he responded with equal gentleness, stroking her hair.

He knew this was her guilty behavior. Whenever she wanted to please him, she would kiss him uneasily and crave his response and intimacy. When her breathing became slightly rushed, he let go. "An Meixia, I'm not blaming you. We're husband and wife. We should be more frank with each other. I saw your stuff and should have told you. Or if you have any needs or difficulties, you can tell me." Rather than try to please him, although Pei Jing didn't say the last part.

He could probably guess that her life experiences had made her prone to feeling insecure deep down.

Pei Jing had always known this, so he tried his best to give her enough sense of security so that she could feel at ease.

But An Meixia was struck by the word "frank."

She had told him her biggest secret and entrusted her safety to his hands wholeheartedly.

But there were some things that she really couldn't be frank about, such as Pei Jianguo and An Meixia, plus Zhao Runze now, and her rebirth.

In this life, she only wanted to live well, but it seemed that there were always some odd things hovering around her.

"What I said was all true. Don't you feel it's weird? The content on that note was like a made-up story, and it was written to several years later." An Meixia said.

"Hmm." Pei Jing didn't press her further, only asked her, "Do you want to go out for a walk? I'll accompany you."

Appropriate exercise before delivery is good for childbirth. They both knew this since it was their third child.

But An Meixia shook her head. "I don't want to walk today. I want to hug you to sleep."

Pei Jing smiled indulgently. "Alright. I'll go close the door."

She had been tired recently. Fulfilling such a small wish was also what he wanted, so he would naturally satisfy her.

The hospital bed was not big, and with An Meixia's big belly, she definitely wouldn't sleep comfortably. So the two of them went to rest in the space.

"Ah Jing, I really, really like you so much. Let's just live happily like this forever, okay?" She was truly very easily satisfied. As long as he kept treating her well like this, she would also give the other party equal respect and love.

"Silly girl, of course we'll live happily forever. Don't think too much. Hurry up and sleep." Pei Jing placed his broad palm on An Meixia's belly. As if sensing it, the baby in her belly was exceptionally peaceful all night without the usual feeling of fighting in the belly.

An Meixia only opened her eyes when she heard the knock outside. They were still in the space without getting up.

To be precise, Pei Jing had woken up long ago but didn't bear to wake her up, so he accompanied her to sleep.

"What's wrong?" Pei Jing looked at her profile and thought she had a nightmare.

Unexpectedly, An Meixia said, "Someone is knocking on the door. I don't know what time it is now. Let's hurry out."

"Don't rush." Pei Jing nimbly put on his clothes, then came over to help An Meixia.

After they came out of the space, he hurried to open the door.

An ZhiXian was holding a thermal container and walked in, looking at them suspiciously, "What were you doing that took so long to open the door?"

"Too tired, didn't get up." Pei Jing casually responded. "Why are you the one who came?"

"Mom went to the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning to line up for ribs. Second brother is looking after your kids. Those two lazy kids refused to get up because it was cold, so I could only bring your breakfast over." An ZhiXian handed over the thermal container and said, "I still have to go to work. I'll come back to collect the thermal container after work." After An ZhiXian left, Pei Jing went to wash up for An Meixia before they ate breakfast.

The breakfast consisted of steamed buns and rice porridge. One look and you could tell it was the handiwork of Zhou Nan who got up early to make fresh, soft and white steamed buns with shredded bamboo shoots filling that looked very appetizing.

The two finished the breakfast by dividing up the portions. Not long after, Old Pei, Grandpa and Grandma also came over.

Grandma brought some snacks that she taught Zhou Nan's wife to make.

Although she wasn't handy with tasks herself, she could still direct with her mouth. More than half of Zhou Nan's wife's still decent cooking skills was from Grandma's teaching, coupled with her own talent.

After the three elders stayed for a while and chatted with An Meixia, they left.

Pei Jing looked at her belly and asked, "Did they say when it might give birth? " He thought that since she was already hospitalized, it should be soon.

Not that he was impatient, but his leave period was limited.

"It should be in the next two days, I think. The doctor has checked the fetal position, but can't confirm the exact time yet." An Meixia asked him, "Do you have something to do? You don't need to accompany me the whole time. The hospital staff open the door, and Third Brother also works at the hospital here, so just call for someone when there's movement. If you're busy, go do your stuff."

"No big deal either. I'll just go out for a bit and come back." Pei Jing was gratified by her thoughtfulness, yet also felt sorry that she was so sensible. "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring some back for you when I return."

"I want to eat..." An Meixia looked deliberately at him, "you."

Pei Jing's eyes instantly darkened. He gave her a soothing kiss. "Good girl, don't tease me. I don't have as much self-control as you think."

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Hurry up and go, just come back soon." An Meixia felt dull in an instant.

The bicycle Pei Jing rode yesterday was still parked at the storage area. He took his bike and rode towards his intended destination.

On the way, he met An JingZhi.

After exchanging greetings, Pei Jing asked, "Dad, do you know someone named An Meixia?"

The similarity between the names An Meiyun and An Meixia, could there be some sort of connection?

An JingZhi was stunned for a moment and said complicatedly, "Where did you hear this name from?"

So there really was such a person. Pei Jing was rather relieved. "Just overheard it by chance. She also has the An surname, so it felt like quite a coincidence."

"Actually there's not much to it. When An Meixia was first found, her original name was no longer fitting for her to continue using. So I gave her this name, but she herself didn't like it, preferring the one given by Fourth Brother instead, so she was called An Meixia."

The expression on Pei Jing's face instantly became complicated. "Other than you, Fourth Brother and An Meixia, does anyone else know about this name?"

An JingZhi did not know about the note and Zhao Runze. Pei Jing's question was nothing that could not be talked about either. "Why bring this up? I just happened to mention it in passing at the time. Nothing came of it later. You also know about Meiyun's situation. Jingxia is also quite averse to this name, so I never brought it up again."

...

Zhao Runze handing that note to Jingxia was not entirely without purpose either.

If Jingxia really was An Meixia, would she also awaken those memories like he did, and the key to awakening those memories was that note.

But things often do not develop as one imagines, perhaps the protagonist recorded on that note was not Jingxia after all, so it had no effect on her or Pei Jing.
