Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1607 - 1608: Without a maternal family, you still have us

"You all used to come to my house to grab a meal, but today, we’re here to grab a meal at yours," An Jing laughed heartily as she entered.

Ye Zhi immediately laughed too, "Feel free to come over, I can’t cook anyway."

"Let your husband do it then. We haven’t tried his cooking yet. If you didn’t mention you’ve had it before, we wouldn’t even know he could cook," An Jing teased, looking at Gong Juechen playfully.

Before Ye Zhi could speak, Gong Juechen, who was surrounded and playing with the four children, replied with a silly grin, "I have to play with Jingjing, Xingxing, Qingqing, and Yunyun, no time to cook~"

An Jing looked around and asked, "Where are your servants? I haven’t seen any."

Ye Zhi lazily replied, "The house is only this big, and both of us don’t have much to do. We can manage just fine without servants, so we let them go. We dismissed them just yesterday."

"So, it’s like you two have a little world of your own, how nice. My husband has always wanted the two of us to have our own little world, but there’s no way," An Jing said with a smile, glancing at Xiao Changyi.

"What little world, don’t you see there’s another one in my belly?" Ye Zhi said, patting her still-flat stomach.

Gong Juechen immediately beamed with happiness, "Zhizhi, if I’d known you wanted our own little world so much, I wouldn’t have let you get pregnant."

Ye Zhi huffed immediately, "As if not wanting could prevent it from happening."

Gong Juechen heard this but pretended not to, continuing to play with Jing Xingqingyun.

Because Gong Juechen loved playing and had many fun ideas, the four children always enjoyed playing with him.

Seeing this, An Jing said, "My husband doesn’t allow me to do any chores now, so he has to be the one to cook meals for us."

Saying this, An Jing turned her head, looked at Xiao Changyi, and smiled, "Husband, sorry to trouble you."

Xiao Changyi shook his head slightly, indicating it was no trouble.

Gong Juechen urged, "Changyi, hurry to the kitchen and start cooking. I went early this morning to buy a lot of ingredients. You just need to go and cook."

Xiao Changyi glanced at Gong Juechen but said nothing. He then helped An Jing to a chair, gave her a few instructions, and went to the kitchen to cook.

No one mentioned the matter of the Five Clans being executed today; they interacted as if it didn’t exist, like usual, very harmonious and without conflict.

But An Jing and Xiao Changyi came with their children today to show Gong Juechen that even if he no longer had his maternal family, he still had them.

Although An Jing and Xiao Changyi didn’t say this explicitly, Gong Juechen still felt it, but he didn’t bring it up either, continuing to interact with them as usual.

After Xiao Changyi went to cook, Gong Juechen played with the four children in the yard, as the indoor space was too small for real play, and the yard was better suited for it.

The two pregnant women also came to the yard.

The yard had flowers, plants, stone benches, and tables. The scenery was lovely, and An Jing and Ye Zhi, the two pregnant women, sat at the stone table where they could enjoy the view, watch Gong Juechen and the children play, and chat.

While playing with the kids, Gong Juechen took a moment to bring some tea and fruits to the table for Ye Zhi and An Jing to enjoy.

An Jing nibbled on dried fruits, watched Gong Juechen play with her four children, and said to Ye Zhi, "Your life with him is even better than I imagined."
