Everyone was little. Why was it that Baby Zhu and Xiao Bao could stay at Auntie Qiao’s house but he couldn’t and had to be forcibly kidnapped back home by his father?
That wasn’t fair!
In the face of his son’s cries, Gao Yan heartlessly suppressed them.
What a joke. He had already seen his son stick to Qiao Nan for the entire day. His son didn’t even bother to call him dad. If he continued to let his son stay in the Zhai family, it wasn’t certain who this son would belong to in the future. He couldn’t possibly lose his son at the same time his wife’s heart was ‘stolen’, right?
Fang Fang was suddenly happy after understanding clearly Gao Yan’s misgivings and looking at her son’s pitiful and wronged look. What Gao Yan was worried about seemed to have come true. It was a pity that Gao Yan, this silly father, still hadn’t realized this yet. He still wholeheartedly thought that his son’s heart belonged to him and he could firmly guard it.
Should she remind him?
After thinking for a while, Fang Fang felt that a white lie was necessary at times. As such, she didn’t remind him.
“I heard San Bao mention that Xu Shengnan came over to find you today. After that, you didn’t seem too happy?” Zhai Sheng came back at night. As Zhai Sheng progressed step by step, he eventually succeeded Zhai Yaohui and became the next Chief Zhai. Zhai Sheng naturally had more time at home as compared to when they first got married.
“San Bao is a bad child. Is she specially telling on me?” Qiao Nan casually splashed some water on her face, applied a layer of cream, and turned to look at Zhai Sheng. “She’s about to become your little spy. Tell me honestly. How many benefits have you given to San Bao such that she would agree to watch over me?”
Zhai Sheng still did what he did when they were newly-weds. He walked to Qiao Nan and carried her to the bed with a princess hug. He kissed Qiao Nan’s red lips. “If San Bao finds out that you’re saying this of her, she would be very upset. She wasn’t helping me watch over you and betraying you. She was concerned about you and afraid that something’s troubling you. She can’t be of help since she’s little, so she asked me, the great and capable father, to help.”
At the same time Zhai Sheng helped clarify the misunderstanding about San Bao, he didn’t forget to be narcissistic.
Being cared for by her husband and daughter at the same time, how would Qiao Nan be unhappy? “Senior Xu’s man is dishonest. He must have another woman outside.”
“…” Zhai Sheng frowned. He despised men who were irresponsible to their family. “Do you want to help?”
“Let’s see. If Senior Xu needs my help, I would definitely help. If she doesn’t, I don’t want to chip in either. We are all leading our own lives. What happens in the end depends on Senior Xu’s own decision.” It was just that there was little common ground for understanding between persons of differing principles. She could give up Chen Jun back then. Now, if Senior Xu chose to forgive in the end, she wouldn’t blame her. She would only feel that they had some differences in mindset and their relationship might not be as good as before if they continued to interact.
Qiao Nan saw a lot of examples where the wife chose to forgive the husband for having an affair. Very often, these wives didn’t manage to make their husbands change their minds because of their magnanimity.
Men who had tasted cheating seemed to be addicted. Eighty percent of them would have an affair again. After that, the couple would naturally fall into infinite pain and end up in a divorce after one party couldn’t tolerate any longer.
Such a process was too entangled and long. Qiao Nan knew that she didn’t have the patience to accompany Xu Shengnan to walk through such a difficult divorce. She couldn’t do it.
When she split up with Chen Jun, she had spent only three minutes. If she had spent so little time on herself, how would she spend so much time and effort on someone else? She was also someone with a family. Her triplets were going to junior high school this year as well.
“If you have an answer in your heart, don’t think about it anymore. If you really can’t sleep, let’s do something that can be beneficial to our husband-wife relationship?” Zhai Sheng was asking this, but his hands, which were unbuttoning the buttons on Qiao Nan’s pajamas, weren’t prepared to give Qiao Nan a chance to refuse.
“…” Qiao Nan secretly rolled her eyes. She didn’t understand how Zhai Sheng could change the topic to this. Should she compliment her man that he was really capable?
Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng spent a fiery and passionate night. For everyone else, they had similarly rested well, except for a few.
The children considered the May 17 long holidays to be days where they could indulge in fun and happiness.
Even if the triplets were about to go to junior high school, Qiao Nan felt that there wasn’t a need for them to be in a hurry for these seven days. When it was time for them to relax, they should relax. As such, even though Qiao Nan wasn’t free to accompany them, Zhai Sheng, who was coincidentally free and at home, brought the triplets out to play for three days.
It was also within these three days that Qiao Nan bumped into Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, who came knocking on her door.
Qiao Nan drove to the entrance of the quad and saw Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, who were stopped outside the door. Qiao Nan’s face darkened. She honked the horn and captured Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin’s attention.
Ding Jiayi, who was kicking up a fuss and didn’t find her behavior to be rude and disgraceful, scolded when she heard the horn. “Even if you’re part of a cadre, you aren’t any better compared to us, ordinary citizens. We talk about equality now and should look at everyone through the same lenses. Isn’t it just a car? In Ping Cheng, my son-in-law has a car as well!”
Ding Jiayi couldn’t afford a small car. However, the Zhou family had one. Ding Jiayi had even sat in Zhou Zheng’s car a couple of times before.
“Mother.” Qiao Zijin’s face darkened. “At this time, why are you mentioning that person?” Zhou Zheng’s car was worth only a few dollars. How was it like the cars which could drive in and out of here freely? One could afford a house in their hometown of Ping Cheng with any one of these cars.
As a married woman who didn’t have much dowry, Qiao Zijin’s eyes shone when she thought of the house. She heard that Qiao Nan was rich. She didn’t want much. She only wanted Qiao Nan to give her a house. Ping Cheng was fine, but the best was in the capital!
“So be it.” Ding Jiayi snorted. At this time, she despised Zhou Zheng a little. Zhou Zheng wasn’t her only son-in-law. Between her two sons-in-law, not only was Zhou Zheng the worst, but he also paled too much in comparison to Zhai Sheng. Seeing the quad of the Zhai family and thinking about Zhou Zheng again, Ding Jiayi started to despise him.
Based on the Zhou family’s condition, they actually dared to hit Zijin. They were too gutsy.
Honk! Honk!
“What are you honking for! Haven’t we already made way?” Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, who had already walked to the side, saw that the car behind didn’t make a move. Instead, the driver was honking at them and seemed to be very angry.
