Zhai Sheng was not the least surprised by Zhu Baoguo’s performance either. He also did not expect the young lady who, since many years ago, addressed him as brother and looked at him with such a loving gaze would grow to become who she was today.
Zhai Sheng grabbed Qiao Nan’s hand and squeezed it a few times. He had always been very satisfied with this tofu-like soft and tender feel. “It is Shi Qing’s greatest fortune to have met you in her life.” Without Nan Nan’s guidance and help, that muddleheaded little girl might not have been able to decide so swiftly what was best suited best for her and pick a route of her own appetite.
Qiao Nan was stunned. She glanced at Zhai Sheng’s wolf claws which were grabbing on to her and pursed her lips. “Hahaha…”
They had been husband and wife for so long. That was not considered taking advantage of her either.
Well, Qiao Nan had gathered some news. Peng Yu was someone that her master specifically asked to leave. The reason that Zhai Sheng could come home during the holiday was definitely related to this matter. Second, the two ‘children’ that she had watched growing up were finally successful. Third, a terrible teammate was worse than a tough rival. In Zhai Sheng’s eyes, Qiu Chenxi and Deng Wenchang, the allies that Peng Yu got for himself, were undoubtedly noob teammates.
Peng Yu had looked for these two people because of their family backgrounds. However, in the end, they might not be of any help to Peng Yu. The sophisticated plans that he thought of might even be ruined in the hands of these two people.
After listening to Zhai Sheng’s consolation, Qiao Nan felt much more assured. “I won’t come into contact with Qiu Chenxi. My initial plan is to destroy Deng Wenchang and eradicate him from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or subdue him completely and kill all his chances. In that case, Peng Yu can forget about putting Deng Wenchang to any use.”
After discussing, Qiao Nan’s face regained her smile. She looked as gentle as the breeze of the spring in March, delicate and smooth.
Miao Jing pinched Da Bao’s stubby arms and asked him to look at Qiao Nan. “Da Bao, see. Your grandma is right. When your mom is unhappy, no one else except for your dad can coax her successfully.” Miao Jing did this as she wanted to help her son create some opportunities to be with her daughter-in-law alone.
Although Miao Jing was a mother, she was not experienced in some areas. She only heard about some things from her peers in the military quad after she came to the capital.
The children usually preferred their mother to father. Understandingly, they demanded their mother’s attention more.
In the families, it was not uncommon for the children to fight with their father for the mother’s attention. This happened so often.
Zhai Sheng was very seldom home but Miao Jing had already witnessed this several times. Miao Jing could not help feeling worried for her son. Her son was a soldier and could not come home often. If the triplets were to mess around, Miao Jing felt heartache for her son. He could finally come home but his children had had to ‘disturb’ him from his wish of ‘hugging’ his wife. That was too tragic.
After many rounds of thought, Miao Jing finally found a way. Let the triplets form the perception, or similar mindsets, that only their father could coax their mother when the latter was unhappy.
In that case, when her son was home, the triplets would definitely let her son keep Nan Nan company instead of disrupting the couple.
Da Bao was the eldest one amongst the children and had an influence as the leader. She would settle Da Bao first. It would be easier to convince Er Bao and San Bao then. Hence, Miao Jing began to put this plan into action today.
Da Bao pouted his little mouth so high that it could almost hang a soy sauce bottle.
The triplets were usually very clever. Looking at the elder grandson’s reaction, Miao Jing asked him carefully, “Da Bao, what is the matter? Are you unhappy? Your little mouth is pouting so badly. Grandma can almost hang a soy sauce bottle on your mouth.”
Da Bao twisted his stubby body unhappily. “Mom is unhappy. I… I can also coax her.” Who said that only his father could coax her mother? He could fare better. “When Mom sees me, Er Bao, and San Bao. Smile. Very happy!” Da Bao drew a circle in the air to express that Qiao Nan had so much happiness when she saw the three of them.
“Um, um.” San Bao nodded very hard, her high ponytails on her head swaying.
Er Bao was smiling like a flower. “Mom loves the triplets. Don’t like smelly dad.”
“Smelly, smelly.” San Bao’s went off pitch, spitting some saliva. “Mom loves me, Da Bao, Er Bao. Three of us.” Although she said three, she showed her whole hand. San Bao was just slightly over one year old. How could she know how to count? She was only using this action to emphasize what she had said.
Miao Jing doted on them so much. She grabbed San Bao’s little stubby hand and pretended to bite it. “Ya! So, your mom loves the three of you most. Um, it seems that your dad is certainly not as cute as the triplets. Grandma also loves the triplets most.”
“Grandma, kiss, kiss.” San Bao, the little princess, was wonderful. She pouted her tiny lips and kissed Miao Jing’s face.
Er Bao pounced on Miao Jing, “Grandma, hug, hug.”
Da Bao was also distracted and had forgotten that his grandmother was the one who said that their smelly father was better at making their mother happy. At this moment, Da Bao was also happy and smiling as he heartlessly lounged in Miao Jing’s embrace to show his liking for his own grandmother.
All of a sudden, she was surrounded by her three grandchildren. Miao Jing felt so wonderful that she had lost her directions.
She only wanted to be at a place where the triplets were. She did not want to go anywhere without them.
For the sake of the three children, no matter what Zhai Yaohui encountered, Miao Jing could always bring out the courage and decisiveness missing in her younger times to reject him resolutely. “You’re already a grandpa. Do you still need someone to accompany you when you are out? Furthermore, there are many people by your side. Do you lack me, just one person? The triplets are different. They only have one grandmother. It’s not as if you don’t know our family’s situation. In other families, there are very few children and many elders. There are not enough children to share. It’s different for our family. That mother of Nan Nan, even if she is willing to come to the capital to help take care of the kids, I don’t even dare to pass the triplets to her!”
“Hire a nanny!” Zhai Yaohui felt jealous. Since the family had the triplets, Zhai Yaohui felt that his status and place in Miao Jing’s heart was getting smaller and smaller.
