Chapter 390
"Let's go, don't keep Chenye and the others waiting down there too long," Wanqing said with a smile, not taking Zhang Lin seriously at all.
Zhang Lin may have been a very beautiful woman, but Wanqing was no less so, they simply had different kinds of beauty.
Even if Zhang Lin's intentions were impure, Pei Jing would never fall for her tricks. She was being too arrogant trying to show off in front of them like this.
Pei Jing's face darkened as he nodded, taking Wanqing's hand and striding forward. But in his mind, he was already thinking of cancelling their room and finding a new place to stay as soon as they got back.
"Oh my, isn't this Comrade Pei and Comrade An? I haven't seen you two in so long, you don't recognize me anymore!" Seeing that they had no intention of acknowledging her, Zhang Lin was clearly unwilling to let things go. She hurried to block their path, putting on a familiar demeanor. Then looking at Little Wanqing in feigned delight, "This is one of the twins you gave birth to back then right? My how time flies, it feels like just yesterday when you two were renting a place from me and your little one was just born. I remember it like it was yesterday."
Little Wanqing looked bewilderedly at her parents, then at the overly enthusiastic Zhang Lin. She shrank back warily behind Pei Jing.
This auntie was too enthusiastic, it felt strange.
And Little Wanqing really didn't like how she looked at her parents.
"Comrade Zhang, you've made one mistake. We were renting from your ex-husband, it was no longer your place. Also, my family just wants to enjoy our vacation in peace without being disturbed. If I remember correctly, the man you're with today is already married, no? I'm sure you wouldn't want his wife coming to find you." Pei Jing really didn't want to talk about this in front of the children, but he had to let them know this woman was no friend, so they would be on guard against any harm from her.
This was the second confrontation between the two women, and once again Zhang Lin was defeated. She could only watch with gritted teeth as Pei Jing and Wanqing walked away hand in hand.
Little Wanqing also held Pei Jing's hand as they left. She looked back and happened to see the murderous look on Zhang Lin's face.
She shivered violently, "Dad, Mom, that auntie was glaring at us just now. Does she have some grudge against our family?"
"Not exactly a grudge, but she has ulterior motives. Be extra cautious if you see her again in the future, try to keep your distance." Wanqing cautioned her daughter.
"Mm, I understand." Little Wanqing nodded solemnly. Having just gone through the ordeal with Yunyan, she now felt a particular dislike towards people with obviously ill intentions.
This hotel didn't provide meals, so Chenye had taken Little Sixth and the others to eat at the restaurant across the street earlier. By the time Wanqing and the others arrived, they were already halfway through their meal.
"Mom, Dad, over here..." Little Sixth waved at them as they approached. Then he complained to Little Wanqing, "Sis, you're so lazy. If you hadn't slept in this morning, we could've come out to eat dinner together earlier, then gone out to play right after finishing the meal."
After all, this was the capital city, even livelier than Jincheng. Just now he'd already seen how exciting it was outside, if not for his big brother pressing him to come eat first, he would've run off long ago.
Hearing this, Little Wanqing became unhappy. She went over and pinched his face, "You little punk, how dare you call me lazy. Why don't you say that you were too greedy for food, that's why you pestered big brother into bringing you out to eat. Otherwise big brother would never have left me and mom and dad behind to eat by himself."
"Ow, stop pinching my face!" Little Sixth grimaced and pushed Little Wanqing's hand away.
Seeing they were about to start bickering, Wanqing quickly smoothed things over, "Alright you two, stop fighting. Little Wanqing, sit down and hurry up and order something to eat. Weren't we going to take a stroll around town after eating? If we delay any longer, there'll be hardly anyone left outside later tonight."
Wanqing exaggerated on purpose. They'd already checked earlier, there was a night market nearby that stayed open past midnight. The surrounding shops were also open until 10 or 11pm.
Sure enough, afraid they'd miss out on time and not get to see everything, Little Wanqing promptly forgot about arguing.
The liveliness was the main appeal of going shopping. What fun was there if no one was around!
After the meal, Pei Jing went to settle their bill.
The family walked down the street holding hands, young and old. Their exceptional looks made them a strikingly handsome sight.
The children had boundless energy. They'd been exhausted and lying down at the hotel this afternoon, but after a nap they were raring to go again. Wanqing could barely keep up with their pace.
Behind them, Chenye led Little Fifth and Little Sixth around sightseeing, while Wanqing took Little Third and Little Fourth. Wanqing and Pei Jing simply followed along behind the children, paying for everything they wanted.
"Anyway we didn't bring much to the hotel, so let's just find a place to stay around wherever we end up tonight?" Wanqing didn't want to risk running into Zhang Lin again by going back. Although the other woman couldn't actually do anything, it still left a bad taste for her husband to be coveted by that sort of woman.
"Alright, whatever you say." Pei Jing had only paid for one day when checking in, even without going to check out, their room would automatically be checked out after the appointed time.
At some point Pei Jing also made a phone call, though his expression was very solemn so she couldn't make out what was said.
When he finished, Wanqing asked if something had happened. Pei Jing simply replied no, finally putting her mind at ease.
They'd barely been out two days, it would be such a pity if he got called back urgently now.
"Right, how did you know the man with Zhang Lin was married?" Wanqing suddenly recalled.
"Just a coincidence, I happened to have seen that man before, and his wife too." Pei Jing didn't elaborate further.
Both Wanqing and Pei Jing knew Zhang Lin was intentionally provoking them, and clearly still harbored ill intentions towards Pei Jing.
Pei Jing wouldn't have reached his position today without some luck, but even more crucially, his own ability.
After his warning, Zhang Lin daring to intentionally appear before this husband and wife again meant this was her last chance.
Since she had no shame already, naturally they needn't bother showing her any face.
Originally her affair with Wu Lei was none of their business, but she insisted on provoking them.
Back when Wanqing was still unaware, Pei Jing's phone call had already taken effect.
Inside the hotel room, Zhang Lin was entangled in passionate intimacy on the soft big bed, broken moans escaping her throat, both pleasurable and pained.
She was frustrated on the inside, so she took it out on her body, wanting to thoroughly vent it all out.
The man beneath her also wrinkled his brow, panting out a few moans before reaching his peak, his whole body going limp.
Zhang Lin murmured praise with her mouth, pretending to be blissful, but out of the man's sight she couldn't help curling her lip in distaste.
Discounting the time she'd spent painstakingly serving him, the whole thing hadn't even lasted a full minute. Useless man.
She'd just propped herself up, about to get up and wash herself clean, when the room door crashed open...
