"Wu…"
After being shouted at by his father, the boy's small body shivered as he looked at her forlornly.
Although she could not bear to see this, she did not say anything.
She merely smiled at him gently and left after bidding goodbye.
"I'll send her off." Seeing Pei Ge walk away, the man told his mother this and followed the woman out. He did not care to look at his supposed fiancée throughout and seemed to take her presence as non-existent.
"Don't take it to heart. My son is just like that. Rest assured that only you are my Ji family's future daughter-in-law."
Madam Ji quickly consoled upon seeing the young lady's gloomy face.
"Auntie, don't worry. I—"
Qu Jingwan forced a smile but was quickly interrupted by the child from speaking further.
"Hmph! She won't ever be my mother! The one my father likes is my mom!" The child huffed.
He lifted his head and stared at her wide-eyed in apparent dislike.
