Chapter 1384 Is the One in Your Family Coming?
San Bao and Er Bao were staring enthusiastically at the graduation cap too. However, they knew that San Bao was the younger sister and they were used to protecting and giving way to her. The chubby little beans had no intention to fight with San Bao. However, as soon as San Bao spoke, Da Bao and Er Bao dashed over happily.
San Bao kicked her legs and asked Qiao Nan to put her down to the ground.
As soon as Qiao Nan squatted down, even before her feet touch the ground, San Bao was enthusiastically putting the graduation cap on Da Bao’s head. “Er Bao, wait a while. It will be your turn later.”
Er Bao nodded. “I will wait.”
Qiao Nan was the most eye-catching one amongst the batch of students who graduated today. Xu Shengnan could not stop smiling. “Those people have been staring at you. Tell me. After today, will they suffer from retinal detachments? I can’t wait to take a plate and pa.s.s by all of them one by one. Their eyeb.a.l.l.s are popping out soon!”
It was the graduation day. Such a memorable occasion was worth celebrating. Many graduates had their parents keeping them company to savor the last memories in the school.
Qiao Nan also had her family members by the side. The difference was… others had elders with them but Qiao Nan had juniors: three adorable and extremely cute little dolls.
When she heard the three children addressed Qiao Nan as ‘mom’, Xu Shengnan felt so elated.
Two years ago, when she was dropped the bomb that this junior of hers was not only married but also a mother of three, her expression looked worse than these people’s.
“You’re graduating today. How is it? Is the one in your family coming? This is such an important moment. If he doesn’t appear, he’s being too much, no?” Xu Shengnan did not ask if Qiao Nan’s in-laws and maternal family would be coming.
Xu Shengnan did not harbor any hopes on Qiao Nan’s maternal family. In her view, it was better for her maternal family to be absent. If they were to come, perhaps a normal graduation ceremony would turn into an embarra.s.sing event for Qiao Nan in the Peking University.
As for Qiao Nan’s in-laws, they would definitely not embarra.s.s Qiao Nan. The problem was that there would be too much limelight on them.
Even the appearance of the old chief’s wife would be spotted by some people and it would then cause a stir in the school, let alone Qiao Nan’s father-in-law. Having studied and worked in the capital for so many years, Xu Shengnan dared not underestimate the people in the capital. In Peking University, there were more than a few people who also had prominent backgrounds like Qiao Nan.
“Not sure.” Qiao Nan could barely cope with her vision. She was keeping a tight watch on her three children. Since they were three years old, it was too painful for Qiao Nan. These were not three-year-old kids. They were clearly escaping wild horses that she could not hold onto.
When Qiao Nan was not paying attention for a moment, the triplets were already playing and running in various directions.
Da Bao was the eldest one and better behaved. As long as Qiao Nan yelled, Da Bao would definitely return to Qiao Nan’s side as soon as possible. Er Bao, this mischievous boy, was different. He was itching to have fun in bustling places. If he did not do anything to attract everyone’s attention, he would feel very restless the entire day.
Zhai Hua often laughed and said that crowds would tempt Er Bao. If one did not allow Er Bao to vent his energy, he would fight them until the end.
As for San Bao, when she turned crazy, she loved to free herself and run about, always looking so adorable.
Each time this happened, Qiao Nan would first evoke a sense of responsibility of an elder brother in Da Bao. She would let him catch hold of San Bao while she ran to Er Bao. After she cooperated and allowed Er Bao to have his fun, she would detain him by her side in case he escaped again.
In fact, Qiao Nan especially did not want to bring the triplets here today.
It was not because she was not willing to let her children witness such a meaningful moment of her graduation. Really, when the triplets acted up, she completely could not rein them alone. Three-year-old kids were annoying, indeed.
In the blink of an eye, the situation that Qiao Nan was most worried about happened. Whoos.h.!.+ The strength of the triplets’ kicks could be comparable to that of a soccer player. They happily ran in various directions.
“Senior Xu, help me look after San Bao. I will get Er Bao.” It was a graduation ceremony but Qiao Nan was so pathetic now. She was as different as day and night from the rumors of her cold and arrogant personality.
Cold and arrogant?
Aside from the beautiful face that verified the rumors, this invisible school belle was neither proud nor cold. She was very down-to-earth, so down-to-earth that she was already a mother. She made many young men’s heart break into pieces that littered the floor; they could not be swept away.
It was still fine for others. However, when Qiao Nan’s cohort heard such beautiful and adorable children calling Qiao Nan ‘mom’, that shock and bizarreness could not be described with words at all. Five words instantly appeared in their hearts: What the h.e.l.l was this!
After taking great pains to grab hold of her three children, Qiao Nan wiped her sweat. “The three of you… Have you forgotten what you promised Mom when you were at home? If you do this again, Mom will not believe you anymore.” Precisely, as her in-laws and biological parents were all not coming, Qiao Nan had wanted to go through today’s graduation ceremony peacefully.
Celebration was not important. Most importantly, she had graduated from college with flying colors!
However, her mother-in-law insisted that this was not good. She felt that it would be too aggrieved for Qiao Nan.
At this moment, her triplets volunteered themselves to keep their mother company. Before the elders, they put it so nicely. They expressed that they would definitely be obedient and listen to their mother, and not stir up any trouble for her.
In actual fact…
Holding onto the three kids who were obviously less chubby now, Qiao Nan smiled grimly. She felt that these three kids could slim down not because they ate less but they were too naughty and wild. After running more, the fats on their bodies also reduced.
Children were definitely angels when they were obedient. But when they were not, they were scarier than devils and this often drove Qiao Nan mad. After all, Qiao Nan had to endure three times what a typical mother had to.
After helping Qiao Nan bring back the kids, the corners of Xu Shengnan’s mouth twitched. “The triplets are very beautiful and people really want to dote on them when they are obedient. But looking at you earlier, I have decided to date a few more years with my boyfriend. Having children and stuff, I will take my time to decide in the future.” Even the gentle Junior Qiao could not help going crazy in front of her three children.
Xu Shengnan thought of her own temper, which was much worse than Qiao Nan’s. She was not confident that she could take a child in hand even if she had only one.
“Hahaha…” At this juncture, Qiao Nan could not bring herself to laugh further.
