Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 1676
Chapter 1676: They should call it a night.
She then promised the three children that she would finish looking at the castle before returning to Ran Ran’s room.
When she returned to her room, Ji Ziming was currently sitting before the building blocks and carefully studying them. He found that, other than the things they liked, there was another set of riddles in the building blocks. It was a riddle only the two of them could guess.
“I knew you’d be back.”
The man did not look behind him to know that Pei Ge had returned.
“How did you know?”
She was perplexed. Don’t tell me that he heard what the three children had said?
“Because the entrance to these building blocks said that two people are required to complete the riddles inside, so I guessed that those two boys must be in our daughter’s room when you went looking for her. They’re just waiting for you to go over to tell you that you must return to your room and solve the puzzles with me,” explained the man.
“Puzzles?”
She also sat down beside him to look at the building blocks. She felt as though she were in an alternate space with a test given to them by their children.
“Come on. Let’s see what those kids are up to.”
Ji Ziming took off his suit jacket and exhaled as he looked at the building blocks before him. His dark eyes were filled with vigor and excitement to try the test.
“Come on. I want to see what the three children are up to as well.”
Pei Ge also blinked her eyes, then followed his instructions to look for answers in the blocks. All the answers joined to form a sentence.
At the same time, An An and Ji Chi were in Ran Ran’s room, guessing how much time their parents needed to find the answers.
“I think half an hour.”
“One hour.”
“I think you both are wrong. They should take a night.”
Right after the girl said this, both boys were stunned. They did not know that, in their sister’s eyes, their parents were actually this stupid.
“Sis, daddy is so smart; I think half an hour is already fast enough.”
An An opposed her view with a wise look on his tender face.
“But I think mommy is very stupid. Didn’t you hear daddy calling her stupid?”
The girl blinked her large eyes which were filled with the innocence of a child. It could be seen that she was most concerned about her father instead of her mother.
“Second brother, do you think our parents need as long as one hour?”
Ji Chi started pondering on it. He had indeed not seen how long their parents needed to solve something, but from how ‘big’ this show they had prepared for the two, and his last and most important clue, he did not think that they could find the answer to everything quickly.
“I think half an hour is already very fast.”
He reached the same conclusion his brother did.
“See; half an hour is already very fast. Sis, you should listen to us. Your second brother and I know all of daddy and mommy’s plans, as well as what they like.”
“Isn’t it easy to know what they like? You can ask Auntie Zhang, granny, and even grandma.”
The girl refused to admit defeat. She just felt that their parents would take a night. She did not know where her confidence came from, but she was just this certain.
In truth, Ji Ziming and Pei Ge only took less than ten minutes to find all the clues. The clues joined together to form a sentence which pointed to the seventh book on the fourth row of her bookshelf. On page 23 of the book in question, there was a letter wedged in.
Most of what was written in the letter was about how grateful the three kids were to them. It also wrote about their feelings for their parents. It turned out that their daughter did not get sick by accident. It was because the three had gone to the fake mountain to play with water.
Ran Ran accidentally fell into the pond and got soaked; hence, she got a fever after being chilled by the wind earlier this afternoon.
“So those three are this playful when we aren’t home. I haven’t heard their teacher speak of it. No wonder our daughter was so afraid of me showing up before her teacher. Turns out she’s afraid that I’ll ask the teacher about her.”
“She fears you the most, for you always know what she’s thinking. I’m different. She relies on me more. Compared to you, she must want to tell me more things.”
“This is their fault, though. They should be punished for doing something wrong. How dared they anger and chase away the teacher I had painstakingly hired? If not because we were busy, they’d likely overturn the entire house.”
Pei Ge read the letter and saw how the trio had even told her at the end not to get angry.
Still, how could she possibly not be angry? She even hoped to run to Ran Ran’s room now and asked them what they had done to the teacher.
“Hire another one if they don’t like the teacher. If they still don’t like it, send them to a private and prestigious school. Don’t be this angry. It’s fine.”
Ji Ziming consoled her. As long as she was not angry, there was still room for salvation.
“Okay. I will see how much cheekier they can be after going to school. No wonder they’re so obedient today. I didn’t even notice that we didn’t see the teacher I hired when we came back earlier.”
Pei Ge’s eyes twinkled as she thought of how it was fine if the three did not like the teacher, yet they even did something wrong and purposely tried to cover up their wrongdoings.
“Alright, don’t be angry. They are just children. Compared to them, I am more concerned about you. I will have to go get payback with them if something happens to you from this anger.”
The man looked at her with his deep eyes. She could feel the warmth coming from him. As long as she liked it, he could give her so much more. If one teacher was no good, then change another one. If it still did not work out, he could even bring all the teachers over to her for her to choose from and to test one by one.
“Alright. It’s not that I’m angry. Let’s just leave it like this tonight. Mom will go take care of Ran Ran later, so let’s not go look for our kids tonight. Let them know that we aren’t easily cajoled.”
She pursed her lips lightly, eyeing the building blocks they had deconstructed. It was a big house, but there were just no more than ten useful hints. Still, it was something An An and Ji Chi had spent a lot of effort building. Disregarding how they would feel heartache, even she felt heartache as she thought of how long they had taken to build this, yet the two of them had easily deconstructed it.
“The kids are insensible. We can educate them tomorrow. We should do what must be done, and we shouldn’t do what we mustn’t.”
