Chapter 1311 The Qiao Family Is Here Again
If Da Bao were to tell the truth, he felt that the earlier dress worn by his sister was prettier. It had colors while this one did not. Hence, this one was not so nice.
Qiao Nan waved at the three children to come to her side and fed them with water. “Da Bao, Er Bao, do you feel very uncomfortable wearing these clothes?”
Da Bao moved his neck and nodded honestly.
At the sight of his elder brother nodding, Er Bao also followed suit.
Qiao Nan was surprised. She wrapped her arms over Da Bao and Er Bao and opened their collars to take a look. Fortunately, their skin was still intact. However, there were a few small and thin scratches on their fair and tender skin. It was probably because they felt uncomfortable and had scratched their necks.
Qiao Nan let out a sigh. “Since it’s not comfortable, let’s change them.” Qiao Nan quickly brought Da Bao and Er Bao to change their clothes back into the original ones that they wore earlier. After changing, the pair of brothers smiled happily. They were in such a good mood that they even ran and hopped around in the hall.
Looking at the pair of brothers’ reactions, Qiao Nan could not help exclaiming that boys and girls were really different. San Bao was so young but she could already appreciate pretty things. This was a surprise to her. As for her other two children, it did not matter what they wore as long as they felt comfortable.
When Zhai Hua came out, the triplets stopped playing with the toys in their hands. They looked pleasantly shocked and surprised at the sight of Zhai Hua. “Auntie, pretty!” San Bao clapped her hands. This time, she praised Zhai Hua without the need for the latter to ask.
“R-really?” Zhai Hua felt that the gown was a little tight. She was even stuttering when she spoke. She peeped at Tian Dong from time to time to observe his reaction. When she saw Tian Dong staring at her in a daze, looking like a block of wood, her expression turned stiff. “Even San Bao praised me for looking pretty. What do you mean by this expression? Don’t forget that you are the one who brought this bridal gown.”
Poof! Qiao Nan laughed. “Sister Zhai Hua, don’t get angry first. Even San Bao said that you look pretty. How can Tian Dong not have any reaction? I think he has been stunned by your beauty.” When Zhai Hua was wearing that not-so-nice bridal gown earlier, Tian Dong was already bedazzled. This gown was specially custom-made for Zhai Hua and certainly fitted her better.
Qiao Nan felt that it was not strange at all that Tian Dong was bedazzled once again.
When Qiao Nan was laughing, San Bao could not help going near Zhai Hua. She reached out her chubby hands and carefully touched Zhai Hua’s dress. “Pretty.” The beads on the gown were a little s.h.i.+ny but not too bright. It was especially good-looking.
“Um, um.” Da Bao and Er Bao supported San Bao’s views again. Their sister was always right.
At this moment, Zhai Hua was very satisfied. She looked at herself in the mirror again and again. “Does it really look good? Even the triplets praised me.”
Zhai Hua was more masculine and she did not like to grow long hair. It was very seldom that she wore dresses. Sometimes, the triplets, who had just learned how to speak, could not help calling her ‘uncle’ instead of ‘auntie’.
Zhai Hua would also have moments of pique regarding this.
Finally, the triplets had taste and said that she was pretty. How could Zhai Hua not feel smug and satisfied? “I also feel that this bridal gown is much better than the one earlier. Dongzi, where did you buy it from? It’s very suitable and not short at all. The other parts of the gown fit me well too. It’s as if it is custom-made based on my figure.” Looking at how pretty she looked, Zhai Hua felt so happy at heart.
Look. She was not only a woman but also a beautiful one.
Dongzi had liked her since she was a child. He had kept the wedding proposal ring by his side for ten years. There were reasons for these. Dongzi was not blind to be fond of her. One should say that Dongzi had a discerning sense of judgment. He could tell that she was a cla.s.sic beauty after properly dolling up herself.
When she saw Zhai Hua feeling pretty, Qiao Nan very kindly did not remind Zhai Hua that besides initial comment when the triplets certainly praised Zhai Hua for looking good, they were subsequently only praising the bridal gown.
“Tian Dong, you have found the right person. He’s quite reliable. This gown is not bad.” Qiao Nan had also worn such a beautiful bridal gown during her marriage. It did not happen too long ago. Qiao Nan had been keeping the gown properly. Since San Bao liked bridal gowns so much, Qiao Nan felt that she could take it out for San Bao to see when she grew up.
Zhai Hua’s eyes lit up. No matter how tough a woman was, she would become a little woman when she met a man who truly doted on and protected her.
Zhai Hua looked a little shy. “You specially got someone to custom-made it for me? Why didn’t I know? I didn’t hear anything about it either. Did the two of you gang up to keep this from me?”
Qiao Nan lifted both her hands and surrendered. “It did not have anything to do with me. Tian Dong was the one who said he wanted to give you a surprise. I agreed as I think that it would work.”
Zhai Hua pouted and mumbled. “Hmmph. You have a lot of tricks. You learned all of these when you were overseas, right?” Zhai Hua knew that couples abroad could be very romantic when they were dating.
If it were in the past, Zhai Hua would scoff at this. Now, she had benefited personally from this. Well. Zhai Hua expressed that some of the habits from abroad were not just guileful but were occasionally good too.
As a conservative Chinese, she should absorb the positive aspects and discard the negative ones from these practices abroad, not blindly rejecting them all.
Tian Dong, who had regained his senses, smiled. “It’s more important that you like it. It does not matter where I learned it from.”
Tian Dong had always known that the Zhai family was daring and progressive. Nevertheless, they were still conservative and old-fas.h.i.+oned in some aspects. As such, he had sought Qiao Nan’s views in this prior to doing this. He wanted advice on whether this was appropriate and whether Zhai Hua would like it.
Everything that he did was for the sake of making Zhai Hua happy and letting her know that he would definitely continue to treat her so well after marriage. He would let her feel the presence of happiness at all times.
Nevertheless, Tian Dong did not expect that the effect would be so good.
After today, Zhai Hua had finally decided on all the dresses required for her wedding. In a flash, it was the third day before Zhai Hua and Tian Dong’s wedding day.
On this day, Qiao Nan was surprised to see three unexpected guests.
“Nan Nan, you look more beautiful as you grow. Huh, are these three my obedient grandchildren? They are so good-looking. They resemble their mother.” When Ding Jiayi came to the Zhai family’s residence, she was smiling like a Maitreya Buddha. However, her voice sounded so estranged. It was as if she was an old hen that had been strangled and squeaking.
Ding Jiayi was not the only one who came. Of course, as Ding Jiayi’s favorite daughter for two lifetimes, Qiao Zijin would not be left behind. The only one whom Qiao Nan would take a few more glances at was Qiao Dongliang, who was walking behind.
As she watched the trio entering the house smoothly, Qiao Nan frowned. “Dad, why didn’t you let me know before you came?”
