Chapter 276 No More Children
As soon as he walked into the yard, Jiang Chenglang came in from outside, not noticing Pei Jing's expression, and happily called him brother-in-law.
Even though he was angry, Pei Jing would not take it out on a child. He just said "hmm" and walked out.
Unexpectedly, when he went left, Jiang Chenglang also went left, and when he went right, Jiang Chenglang also went right.
Pei Jing was furious. "Are you going left or right?"
Jiang Chenglang said naively, "Brother-in-law, I'll go forward."
In just a moment, Jiang Fei caught up and grabbed Pei Jing's sleeve.
"Don't leave."
Pei Jing lowered his eyes and looked at the fingers hanging loosely on his sleeve. He didn't even need to struggle, but he couldn't take a step.
"Chenglang, go and have fun by yourself. I have something to say to your brother-in-law." Jiang Fei sent Jiang Chenglang away, then slid her fingers down and held Pei Jing's hand.
His face was still gloomy, and his jawline was sharply curved, and it was obvious that his anger had not yet subsided.
Jiang Fei squeezed his hand, lowered her eyes and said, "I'm afraid of pain. I'm still young."
In modern times, it is uncommon to have children so early. They haven't even reached the legal age for marriage.
Pei Jing was stunned.
Yes, how could he forget? His Xiao Cui is still a girl under 18.
The anger just now dissipated in an instant, leaving only heartache.
He held Jiang Fei's hand and pulled her into his arms, rubbing the back of her head and said, "You should have told me earlier. If you're afraid of the pain, we won't have the baby. I'm okay with not having a child."
Jiang Fei shrank into his arms, her voice muffled: "I haven't spent enough time with you."
"Me too." Pei Jing tightened his arms and hugged the person tighter.
Next to the pillar at the corner of the corridor, three heads stacked together were sticking out to watch the fun.
Jiutao covered Jiang Chenglang's eyes and said, "You can't look at this."
Jiang Chenglang refused and pushed Jiutao's hand away. He stared at the two of them and raised his head to ask, "Will they eat their mouths?"
Jiutao: “…”
Wen Zhu propped up his chin in thought, "Judging from the direction this is going, we probably won't eat today, but who knows, the prince might be craving for food."
"I'm greedy too." Jiang Chenglang said seriously.
Wen Zhu tsks and pushes Jiang Chenglang's head away, "You little kid just don't understand."
A few people turned around and saw Pei Jing patting Jiang Fei on the back.
"Don't be afraid, we won't have any more children in the future."
"But you are the emperor."
"At worst, we can adopt one." Pei Jing caught a glimpse of Jiang Chenglang from the corner of his eye, pointed his chin at him and said, "Let Chenglang have more children, and then we can adopt one."
"That won't do." Jiang Fei immediately broke free from his embrace and said seriously, "Jiang Chenglang's children are probably not very smart."
Pei Jing agreed deeply and nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
Jiang Chenglang heard everything clearly from the side. Now he figured out what was going on and glared at the two of them angrily. He was so angry that his stomach got even bigger.
"Why?"
"Because of your big belly." Wen Zhu interrupted.
Jiang Chenglang thought of those ladies who also had big bellies before giving birth. He pouted and asked, "Sister Jiutao, my belly is so big, how many babies can I have?"
Jiutao said honestly: "Men can't have children."
Wen Zhu, enjoying the fun, teased him deliberately, "In my opinion, your belly is big enough for twins, a boy and a girl."
Jiang Chenglang's mouth suddenly pursed.
Jiu Tao saw that he was angry and quickly comforted him: "You are fat. There is no baby in your belly. You are still young. It's okay to be a little fat. I was fat when I was a child too."
Jiang Chenglang raised his eyes to look at her, "Are you as fat as me?"
"Yeah, fatter than you."
Wen Zhu laughed out loud and continued to tease him, "You believe that? She was so poor when she was little that she couldn't even afford to eat. How could she possibly gain weight?"
Jiang Chenglang immediately glared at Jiutao angrily, "You lied to me."
Jiu Tao was exposed and reached out to twist Wen Zhu's arm: "You are the only one who talks too much!"
Wen Zhu dodged nimbly and hid behind the corridor pillar with a smile. The three of them laughed and made a noise.
Pei Jing watched them making a fuss, then looked down at Jiang Fei in his arms, "If you had told me earlier that it was because you were afraid of the pain, I would have come back to sleep last night."
Jiang Fei suddenly seemed to remember something and grabbed his collar, "I remember you just broke a bowl. That bowl was worth dozens of taels of silver."
…
Two days later, Pei Jing took Jiang Fei to Tingquan Mountain.
It was the hottest summer day and the sun was scorching, but once we walked into the forest in the mountains, the dense branches and leaves blocked the scorching sun and it instantly became a lot cooler.
The mountain road meandered upwards, and as Jiang Fei walked, her pace gradually slowed down.
Jiang Fei looked at Pei Jing's back in front of her. When she first came, Pei Jing wanted to kill her. Who would have thought that now they have become the people who cannot live without each other.
The man was walking in front and didn't look back at her. It was just because he saw a chivalrous knight on the street when he came here before. He was very tall and mighty, so Jiang Fei looked at him twice more. The man became jealous and had a bad face all the way.
"Pei Jing." Jiang Fei stopped with her hands on her hips.
Pei Jing turned around and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "How disrespectful! In two days, I will be the new emperor. Can you call me by my name casually?"
After saying that, he walked forward a few steps, then seemed to be worried, so he stopped and looked back at her, but his tone softened.
"What's wrong? Can't walk anymore? I told you it was hot today, but you chose to come today."
Jiang Fei stretched out her hand to him, "Hold me."
Pei Jing snorted and glared at her helplessly, "It's broad daylight, if we meet someone on the street... you really are..."
Even though he said this, he walked back quickly and bent down to look at her feet. "Do your feet hurt? You only walked a short distance."
He turned his back and said, "Come up."
Jiang Fei immediately lay on his back, wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, and rubbed her cheek against his, "Am I heavy?"
Pei Jing enjoyed this disgusting action very much.
No matter how tall and mighty the knight is, Xiao Cui will just stay close to him.
The competitive spirit instantly rose up, and Pei Jing lifted her up and shook her, "What's your weight? Even if you add some wine, I can still carry you."
Hearing this, Duan Jiu silently slowed down his pace and kept a distance.
I thought to myself, even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare let you carry it on my back.
Pei Jing was indeed not bragging. Carrying Jiang Fei up the mountain was as easy as walking on flat ground.
Mr. Qinglian was already waiting in front of the mountain gate. When he saw them, a smile appeared on his face.
Jiang Fei was glad that she came down and walked on her own before reaching Jinglian Temple. Otherwise, if Qinglian Jushi saw her, he might think she was arrogant.
The mother and son haven't seen each other for a long time, and their attitude is not as warm as with Jiang Fei.
Mr. Qinglian was walking in front, holding Jiang Fei's hand, and occasionally turning his head slightly to glance back.
Although the mother and son have reconciled their past grudges, many years have passed between them, making it impossible for them to become close. After all, Pei Jing is no longer at the age where he needed care as a child.
After the two of them had a vegetarian meal with Mr. Qinglian, Mr. Qinglian took Jiang Fei for a walk in the temple.
