1189 Dissatisfied
“It’s all because of your itchy hands.” Miao Jing patted Zhai Hua’s hands unhappily. “You clearly know that San Bao is very quick-tempered, yet you deliberately be at odds with her. What kind of auntie are you? Carry Er Bao. I will coax San Bao.” To say that Hua Hua had grown up, she had indeed performed quite well when she helped take care of the three babies. To say that she had not grown up, look, San Bao was just a baby who was still drinking milk, yet she was bullied to tears by Hua Hua, this heartless biological auntie.
Miao Jing could not help doubting whether she could leave her maternal grandchild in her daughter’s care if Zhai Hua were to give birth to a child after marrying Tian Dong.
When that time came, she hoped that her maternal grandchild would not be badly bullied as compared to San Bao when it fell into the clutches of Hua Hua.
Zhai Hua smiled, embarrassed. She was just teasing San Bao and did not do it on purpose.
Both Zhai Hua and Miao Jing did not notice that when the two of them exchanged the babies in their arms, as Zhai Hua was carrying Er Bao over, Er Bao, whose neck was already quite strong, waved his little claws and took the chance to punch Zhai Hua a few times.
Of course, Er Bao’s strength was so meager that Zhai Hua did not feel any pain. She even thought that Er Bao was giving her a massage as he was afraid that she would be tired. “Mom, did you see that? Er Bao is massaging my hands. His heart really aches for me, this auntie. My obedient Er Bao, let auntie give you a kiss.”
Muack! Having said that, ignoring Er Bao’s mood, she kissed Er Bao and took huge advantage of him.
Zhai Sheng, who had just arrived home after sending Qiao Nan to school, happened to see Er Bao’s ‘spectacular’ performance and walked in nonchalantly. “Elder Lin, you’re here? Nan Nan has classes today. She’s not at home.”
“No issue. I know Nan Nan has classes. I am here to see the three babies.” Lin Yuankang did not mind. He said that he would not get a turn to carry the three babies if his little disciple was around.
Compared to these old men and women, the three babies favored Nan Nan, their biological mother, most.
When Qiao Nan was around, the three babies would prefer to stay by her side based on her smell. Even when they were lying down, they did not need anyone to carry. They would also be very good-tempered and not kick up a fuss. Anyway, the activity that they did most nowadays was to shut their eyes and sleep.
If anyone were to tease the three babies or insisted on carrying them, the three babies would immediately frown and cry for the person to see.
When their mama was not around, a rare situation would occur whereby the three babies would be awake and want people to hug them. They would not resist being carried and would not mind whoever carried them.
In short, with their mama around, everything else was as superficial as clouds.
Actually, newborns who were not yet three months old could not recognize people’s faces. They recognized based on feelings and smells.
After taking a seat, Zhai Sheng changed his mind about carrying San Bao. He carried the most ‘dramatic’ Er Bao instead.
Zhai Sheng squeezed Er Bao’s tightly clenched fists. The round little fists were very soft, especially the back of his hands as there was a lot of flesh on them. “He has the looks of an elder brother.”
If Da Bao and Er Bao maintained the same temperaments after they grew up, he did not need to be afraid that someone would bully San Bao then.
Seemingly sensing that someone else was hugging him now, Er Bao twisted his head and snorted continuously. His little fists loosened and five adorable balls of flesh immediately appeared on the back of his fleshy hands.
Zhai Sheng touched Er Bao, who was just over two months old and full of baby fat. “Your mother has fed you well. Look at how well you have grown.” These three fleshy ‘lotus roots’ were all Nan Nan’s work and credit.
At the thought that Qiao Nan seemed to have become slimmer in the waist again, Zhai Sheng said unhappily, “You’ve been well fed and chubby but you’ve tired out your mom and made her skinnier.” These three little jerks…
Zhai Sheng always gave others the impression that he was a tough and aloof man. When these words came out of his mouth, the few people who heard that felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Was Zhai Sheng’s image going to collapse?
The newborns had only been awake shortly and Er Bao had already kicked up a fuss for some time. He was opening his tiny mouth and yawning nonstop. As for what his biological father said earlier, Er Bao expressed that he was still very young and did not understand.
“Let me do it?” Once Er Bao wanted to sleep, Zhai Hua wished to carry him back to coax him to sleep.
Zhai Sheng did not pass Er Bao back to Zhai Hua. Instead, he placed Er Bao onto his laps. His actions were a little awkward. Soon after, he was gently patting Er Bao with a messy rhythm.
Fortunately, his actions got smoother after patting a few more times.
Er Bao was too sleepy. In addition, he was used to the hard and tough hugs by his great-grandfather and grandfather. Hence, Er Bao did not react much in Zhai Sheng’s arms. His chubby and tiny face rubbed Zhai Sheng’s arms a few times and he fell asleep soon after.
After Er Bao fell asleep, Da Bao and San Bao were also in a daze. Until now, the routine of the three babies had been relatively the same.
After the three babies went to sleep, of course, the adults put them in the baby cribs and covered them with little blankets.
When the living hall was quiet again, Lin Yuankang looked at Zhai Sheng. “How is it? After you came back this time, what kind of underhand methods did Peng Yu use on you this time? You couldn’t even make it back in time to see your children being born? You didn’t even attend their full-month celebration.”
Lin Yuankang was Qiao Nan’s master. He looked at things more from Qiao Nan’s perspective.
As a college student, Qiao Nan was already married. Zhai Sheng and the Zhai family had taken huge advantage of Qiao Nan. It was Qiao Nan, this young lady, who was too kind and did not take issue with them. Otherwise, which family’s lady would marry so early?
Fine. He could forget about this. However, Zhai Sheng could not possibly not stay by Qiao Nan’s side and let Qiao Nan bear everything alone, right?
During her ten months of pregnancy, Zhai Sheng did not even accompany Qiao Nan to any of her medical appointments.
Giving birth was such a dangerous matter. However, he did not even know where Zhai Sheng was during that time.
Lin Yuankang accepted Qiao Nan as his disciple because Zhai Sheng acted as the bridge for them.
The problem was that Lin Yuankang was getting older. He was willful and did not like to reason.
Lin Yuankang was childless. He took his youngest disciple as his own child. From that day onward, Lin Yuankang did not say it out, but in his heart, he felt very unhappy that Qiao Nan was together with Zhai Sheng.
He dared to promise that his little disciple would definitely be able to find a man that would not lose to Zhai Sheng after she successfully completed her studies.
Yes, it seemed that his little disciple had gotten a huge bargain by marrying into the Zhai family. It was as if she had fallen into a nest of good fortune.
However, he had never thought so. Everything that the Zhai family could provide his little disciple, he could also do the same and even more. With him around, his little disciple did not even need to care about what the Zhai family had.
After leaving the Zhai family, his little disciple could find someone better.
Unfortunately, his little disciple was very stubborn. Regardless of how he hinted at her previously, his little disciple would play dumb and divert from the topic. She basically refused to break up with Zhai Sheng.
Now, she was already married with three children. What could Lin Yuankang say?
However, looking at Zhai Sheng’s behavior, Lin Yuankang felt suffocated at heart.
So many people were yearning for him to provide some connections but he was not willing to.
