They were not picky when it came to food, but Xunxun was very much like her mother who had shunned meat. As a result, her growth was slower and she was much shorter than her brothers. Did this mean that Xunxun would not grow as tall as her brothers? She was such a delicate little lady. If she really has her brothers’ height in the future, it would hinder her chances of marrying well. Xunxun had such pretty and delicate features, Ye Shuyun could not imagine what she could do with such a pretty face and a soaring height of 1.8 meters.
Perhaps she could be a basketball player or an athlete.
However, she did not approve of these occupations.
Xunxun was the princess of the Lu family, she should be pampered and treated like one and not be involved in these tiresome matters. Thus what worried Ye Shuyun the most now was that Xunxun would grow as tall as her brothers. After all, the Lu family were genetically tall in general. Yan Huan was not especially tall but she was not short either. Not to mention her two boys seemed to have long limbs, they should grow very much in height in the future. Xunxun was a little hard to predict since she was still a two-year-old child.
Once they reached the mall, Ye Shuyun brought the three children shopping. She bought two sets of clothes for each of them. For those two boys who looked so much alike, she even bought the same designs.
That was the fun in having a pair of twin boys. She could buy matching sets of anything and enjoy the most out of being a grandmother.
“These two children are twins right? They look so alike.”
The shopkeeper looked curiously at the two boys. Children who looked alike were very rare, not to mention lovely looking ones. They both wore cool expressions and were very well-behaved too.
“No.” Ye Shuyun smiled and caressed both of her grandsons’ heads.
“No?” The shopkeeper said in disbelief. It was impossible that they were not twins as they looked so much alike. They seemed to be of the same age too. Even their nose and eyes looked exactly the same, so how could they not be twins?
“They are triplets.” Ye Shuyun took Xunxun from the arms of the housekeeper. Xunxun peered through her big watery eyes. Her eyes were as black as pearl and as clear as water. She was playing with her little fingers and was as well-behaved as her brothers. However, because she was a girl, she inherited her mother’s features, hence setting her apart from her brothers. Nonetheless, they all had beautiful eyes. So upon closer observation, it was not difficult to notice that they were triplets. However, Xunxun was skinnier and smaller as compared to her brothers, hence she looked more like their younger sister.
In actual fact, they were all born together, just that Xunxun was of a different gender.
The shopkeeper was astonished once she heard they were triplets. Xunxun was in Ye Shuyun’s arms, and that beautiful little face of hers made the shopkeeper’s hand itch. She could not think of anything else except that she was really tempted to pinch and touch her pink chubby cheeks.
After buying her clothes, Ye Shuyun did not loiter around the mall. She used to love wandering around the mall but since the arrival of these three children, she rarely visited the mall. She would worry that the triplets would get tired and she was worried about the crowd too. It was safer for them to be home.
These three children were her life, it would kill her if anything bad were to happen to them.
However, as Ye Shuyun was about to make a call for someone to pick them up, she realized that her handbag was missing. She then remembered that she had left her bag on the shop’s sofa while she was buying the triplet’s clothes. She had forgotten about it when she left the shop.
“I’m going to get my bag, please wait for me here.” Ye Shuyun instructed the two housekeepers. She also reminded them not to go anywhere crowded.
“Understood, Madam.”
Both the housekeepers answered in unison.
Yu Shuyun placed Xunxun in the tram but Xunxun did not want to be in it, so she had no choice but to leave Xunxun standing on the floor. She reminded the housekeeper to look after Xunxun and to not let her run around.
Then only did she rush into the mall to retrieve her own bag. The bag held her purse, her mobile phone, her personal documents and her house keys. If it went missing, it would be really troublesome. But if it was in the shop, it should not be lost.
Shortly after she went in, one of the housekeepers felt a discomfort in her stomach.
“Oh no, I’m having a stomach ache, it must be the food I had just now.” She placed one of her hands on her stomach while she handed Xunxun over to the other housekeeper. “Please look after her while I go to the washroom.” After that, she held her stomach and dashed into the mall to look for a toilet.
Anything could wait but a toilet emergency could not wait. Anything could be tolerated, but a stomach ache was impossible.
However, this meant that there was only one housekeeper left to look after three children. It was definitely a difficult task. At first, all was well as the three of them were very well-behaved. Nonetheless, after a while, Lu Qi started tugging on the housekeeper’s sleeves.
He said he needed to urinate. Lu Guang started tugging on her other sleeve as well.
He said he also needed to go to the washroom.
“Why do you have to go to the toilet at the same time?” The housekeeper felt like crying. Why did this crop up once her colleague left? Where could she find a washroom nearby for the both of them now? She could not just let them urinate here in the open.
Both of the boys looked at her with their black beady eyes and continued whining that they needed a wee.
The housekeeper made up her mind and stuffed Xunxun into the tram. Then, she took the little hands of the two boys in hers.
There was no choice but to let the boys empty their bladder here. The children were still young anyway, they could just fertilize the trees. She could not just let them wet their pants there.
While she was taking care of the two boys, a hand stretched toward them and covered a child’s little mouth. With an easy lift, the hand carried little Xunxun off the tram. The person took a cautious look at the surroundings and placed the little child into their coat before sneaking off.
After the housekeeper was done putting back the boys’ trousers for them and returning to their meeting spot, she was shocked when she realized that there was no child in the tram.
Where is Xunxun? Where did Xunxun go? She was right here just now, sitting in this little tram. She is so small, where could she have possibly gone?
She looked around again and again, wanting to know where Xunxun had gone. However, she was merely a child that was barely two years old, so where could she have gone? She could not even walk properly nor speak.
Could this be a prank someone was playing on her, hiding the child secretly? She thought hard as to who in the Lu family loved pranks and would do this to her.
But she had no answer. No one dared to play such a prank. Even if the Lu family members were mischievous, they would never play such a low-level prank at this moment. They knew that Xunxun was a very important and precious child to the Lu family.
