However, she had been deeply worried that Zhai Sheng would commit a moral mistake due to temptation.
Regardless of whether she was being paranoid, it would not be too wrong to be a little more careful or prepare for danger in times of peace.
Zhai Hua had been thinking more and doing less.
Only if she did less could Zhai Sheng do more. Zhai Sheng would understand Qiao Nan’s pain then.
Moreover, this could expend more of Zhai Sheng’s energy lest he come up with other ideas. It would be best if he ran out of steam.
Zhai Hua could hide these little tricks from Miao Jing but not the men of the Zhai family.
Old Master Zhai snorted proudly. This was the grandson that he had brought up personally. If Zhai Sheng’s will of revolution was so weak, he would write his name the other way round.
Zhai Yaohui felt a little helpless. His daughter’s relationship with his daughter-in-law was better than that with his son. How was he going to resolve this?
Zhai Sheng felt helpless too but it did not bother him. Nan Nan was his wife. Of course, he would devote his heart and mind in taking care of her. There was no need for other people to blindly kick up a fuss.
Women?
In his eyes, besides his mother, Nan Nan, and his newborn daughter, the rest of the people were just individuals. Even for Zhai Hua, he only took her as a tomboy who could not be called a woman.
Besides these three women, the other women had already lost their gender in front of Zhai Sheng. It was quite difficult for Zhai Sheng to commit some mistakes that would be easily committed by other men.
Zhai Sheng, who had just assumed the role, was not very familiar with being a father. Of course, tonight, Qiao Nan was more tired but she also fell into a deeper sleep than before.
The next morning, Qiao Nan had dark circles under her eyes when Zhai Sheng sent her to school. “I’ll come and fetch you at eleven?”
Qiao Nan yawned and nodded. “Okay, you can leave the house around eleven to fetch me. Stay at the entrance. Don’t drive the car in.”
People were already staring at the Land Rover when it arrived at the entrance of the school. If they were to really drive it into the school compound, there would only be more onlookers.
Hence, Qiao Nan would rather walk for over twenty minutes than letting Zhai Sheng drive into the school to fetch her. Moreover, it was about a twenty-minute walk because the building in which Qiao Nan would be having her classes happened to be nearer to the school entrance.
“Okay.” Zhai Sheng was very willing to indulge Qiao Nan in such minor matters. All the while, Zhai Sheng acceded to all of Qiao Nan’s requests. He trusted Qiao Nan very much with her college life.
When he was seated in the car, the sharp eyes of Zhai Sheng noticed that although there were only a few people who passed through the entrance, once his wife appeared, all the men looked at his wife and could not help taking a few more glances.
As a man, Zhai Sheng could understand these men’s actions. However, as a husband, he could not do so.
After some time, Zhai Sheng pursed the corners of his lips coldly. After giving birth, Nan Nan was more charismatic than before. It was just that Nan Nan was too naive and did not discover this change at all.
The age of spring onions and the smile of spring flowers. The purity exuded from her was filled with the seductive charisma of a new wife and the gentleness of a new mother.
To men, this kind of woman was a fatal attraction.
Fortunately, Nan Nan was already married to him and she was not living in the school. For the sake of the three babies, besides attending classes, Nan Nan was always studying or taking care of the babies at home. She did not even go to the school library.
Qiao Nan was totally unaware that after she alighted from the car, Zhai Sheng went home with a tummy full of jealousy just because some people cast her a few more glances.
In fact, Qiao Nan’s change was not only felt by men but also by women. For example, Xu Shengnan could tell the difference in Qiao Nan when they met upon Qiao Nan’s return to the school.
Fortunately, Zhai Sheng only noticed that more men were looking at Qiao Nan. If he were to see that even some women liked to be closer to Qiao Nan, Zhai Sheng would probably feel even more jealous. It would be simply a sea of jealousy.
“Da Bao, call master grandpa.” In the house of the Zhai family, Lin Yuankang, who was seldom willing to leave his own house, did not go anywhere except for the house of the Zhai family. He was carrying the sturdy and ‘heavy-weight’ Da Bao as he teased him to talk.
Da Bao opened his pair of eyes that were as black and dewy as grapes and blinked at Lin Yuankang. He was drooling as he opened his pinkish and tender tiny mouth.
As for the master grandpa?
Sorry, Da Bao expressed that he did not understand what that was. He just opened his mouth and spoke some baby language to Lin Yuankang.
“Da Bao, you’re so obedient. Right, I am your master grandpa. Next time, I will teach you how to speak English, okay?” Lin Yuankang still bothered so much as if Da Bao really understood his words and vice versa. One old and one young. One word from each. It was funny they seemed to be having a conversation.
“Okay, okay. Our Da Bao resembles his mother. Both are good kids who love to learn. Master grandpa is very happy.”
“Yee yee, ya ya…”
“Is that so? No hurry. You’re still very young now. After a few months… I will teach you after a few months.”
“Yee ya…”
“Da Bao is so obedient. You’re as obedient as your mother. Master grandpa likes Da Bao very much. Do you like master grandpa?”
“…” Zhai Hua, who was carrying San Bao, was speechless. So, Elder Lin’s intelligence was the same as that of Da Bao now. Hence, the two were one of a kind and Elder Lin could understand Da Bao’s words?
It was no wonder Zhai Hua would suspect that. Elder Lin was really chatting as if he was so familiar with Da Bao.
That affection between the old and the young—they looked as if they were long-lost relatives who finally got to meet each other. No matter what they chatted about, it was filled with deep nostalgia, memories, and feelings of the old times.
Miao Jing patted Zhai Hua. “You can’t look at Elder Lin in that way. Elder Lin was just teasing and playing with Da Bao. Initially, I feel that Da Bao resembles Zhai Sheng too much. Besides Nan Nan, he doesn’t like to care about others. When Er Bao cries, at most, he will take a glance and then ignore him thereafter. Now, it seems that Da Bao has some affinity with Elder Lin.”
Elder Lin was right. Da Bao was as smart and likable as his mother. He got along so well with Elder Lin.
“Hahaha…” Zhai Hua did not comment further on Miao Jing’s words. She reached out her hands and broke the milk bubbles that San Bao blew with her mouth. Initially, San Bao did not bother about it either. She continued to blow her bubbles and was having a great time.
Who would have known that her auntie would poke one as soon as she blew one? The more bubbles she blew, the faster her auntie poked them.
As a quick-tempered young lady, San Bao flared up suddenly and she cried.
The moment San Bao cried, regardless of the Er Bao in Miao Jing’s arms or the Da Bao who was conversing with Elder Lin, both turned their heads and looked at San Bao. Thereafter, their bright and watery big eyes could not help narrowing unhappily as they glared at Zhai Hua with tiger-like expressions.
