Since he had given Qiao Nan the passbook, she could spend the money however she liked.
Even if she squandered all the money, Zhai Sheng might not say anything as well, let alone transferring six thousand yuan to her father.
In this aspect, Zhai Sheng was a good man.
“Hmm…” Qiao Nan felt very sleepy. She had to take care of the triplets in the daytime and make use of the time to study. Qiao Nan felt like she was preoccupied the entire day. When Zhai Sheng was back, she still had to work overtime to engage in physically exhausting activities. Qiao Nan wished that she could sleep without any care. “My dad sent someone to pass three golden bangles to the triplets. You should know the Qiao family’s situation. Therefore, I transferred the money to him. Brother Zhai, do you think I should go back to Ping Cheng after the Lunar New Year?”
Qiao Nan was conflicted. She did not know what she should do.
She might have been married and it was understandable that she did not have time to go back during the Lunar New Year. But she should at least go back to visit her parents after the Lunar New Year.
However, Qiao Nan did not feel like going back. Spending money on the Qiao family was not the issue here. What was troubling her was that she had to deal with a series of trouble as well as the mockery and schemes of her mother and sister. She also had to accept that her father was muddleheaded and sided with the Qiao family.
“Let’s make a trip back. It’s just a few plane tickets.” Zhai Sheng knew that Qiao Nan was in a difficult position. Qiao Nan had married well. Although the Qiao family had been mean to her and let her down, if she did not visit them during the Lunar New Year, people would talk bad about Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan did not catch what Zhai Sheng said. She was already fast asleep.
Zhai Sheng lowered his head to check on Qiao Nan, who was sleeping soundly in his embrace. He gave her a tender kiss on her red lips. He then covered her with the blanket and hugged her as he drifted off to sleep.
During wintertime, hugging each other to sleep was the best way to keep each other warm.
“I will carry San Bao.” Qiao Nan woke up one hour later than usual the next day morning. She walked down the stairs and heard her master’s loud, booming voice. “San Bao, I am your grand master. Do you remember?”
“Yayaya.” San Bao, who could utter sounds, liked it when people chatted with her. Babies at this age behaved in the same way. Elder Lin was very patient with her. He did not know what she was talking about, but he was able to have a conversation with her.
Elder Lin was thrilled that San Bao answered him. “San Bao, you have not seen me for a night. You must have missed me terribly. You are so well-behaved. I miss you too. San Bao, don’t worry. I will be able to visit you more often in the future. I will spend more time playing with you.”
Qiao Nan, who overheard her master, knew right away that he had bought the house that was next to the Zhai family’s residence.
The auntie brought a milk bottle and walked out of the kitchen. Lin Yuankang’s eyes lit up. “Give me one of those. I will feed San Bao.”
Since this was not the first time that Lin Yuankang fed the babies, the auntie handed San Bao’s milk bottle to him without any hesitation. Lin Yuankang carried San Bao with one hand and held the milk bottle in the other hand. “San Bao, be good. Let’s have your meal now. San Bao must grow up strong and healthy. When you can speak, you must learn to call me grand master first.”
“Ah.” San Bao recognized that it was a milk bottle. Her eyes lit up instantly.
The little girl shouted and tried her best to lift her head high, wanting to get a bite on the milk bottle. She lifted her legs when she finally got a bite on the milk bottle. She clutched the milk bottle with her chubby arms and drank the milk happily.
The triplets were very good at drinking from the milk bottles.
Since half a month ago, Qiao Nan was unable to provide them with breast milk for every meal. She began to mix breast milk with formula milk. She would also feed them with solid food as one of the meals in the day.
The triplets had a big appetite and they ate very well. They would definitely turn out to be chubby.
Qiao Nan saw that Elder Lin was feeding San Bao, while Zhai Sheng was feeding Da Bao and Er Bao, each in one of his arms.
Da Bao and Er Bao had yet to familiarize themselves with Zhai Sheng. However, they would not skip their meals because of Zhai Sheng. No matter what, it was more important to feed themselves.
The triplets finished their meals in no time. Their stomachs bulged from having a full meal. Da Bao and Er Bao seemed to be in a good mood. They were more accepting of Zhai Sheng, unlike yesterday.
Da Bao gave a kick to Zhai Sheng’s palms from time to time.
Er Bao was the most daring among the two babies. Since he was able to lift his head, he turned his head to face Zhai Sheng and made a move to bite his high nose.
Zhai Sheng did not panic at having to cope with two babies at one go. He seemed to be at ease. He had a secure grip on Da Bao so that he would not fall under the sofa.
At the same time, he turned sideways so that Er Bao would not be able to bite his nose. Instead, Er Bao ended up landing a kiss on his handsome face, leaving his saliva and teeth marks on him.
“It has only been a night, yet Da Bao and Er Bao are so close to Zhai Sheng.” Zhai Hua stared at the scene in front of her with surprise.
Zhai Hua wanted to watch Zhai Sheng as he made a fool of himself handling both Da Bao and Er Bao. She did not mean for them to spend a good time together and bond with each other.
To her surprise, Zhai Sheng, who was a first-time father, had been taking good care of Da Bao and Er Bao.
Zhai Hua was upset that Da Bao and Er Bao were able to keep quiet in Zhai Sheng’s presence. They no longer threw tantrums and stopped him from being near them like what happened yesterday.
When Zhai Sheng went near them and touched them yesterday, Da Bao and Er Bao would bawl as if they were being bullied.
Zhai Hua, who had been taking care of the triplets, was upset that the father and sons bonded so well.
The two boys were very mischievous. She had gone through so much to take care of them and they were finally four months old. Initially, she would panic and almost ended up crying with them as she had no idea how to take care of them. She spent many sleepless nights taking care of them before they finally grew up to be strong and healthy.
She had put in so much effort for the triplets to like her. However, Zhai Sheng only gave them life, yet he was able to gain their affection without doing anything. Zhai Hua was jealous. It was unfair!
Miao Jing did not feel upset but smiled instead. “You know nothing. This is the innate bond between the father and sons. Zhai Sheng is the father of the triplets. No matter what, they will become close to him.”
