Miao Jing nodded indifferently. “How good it is for Er Bao to be like this. He knows how to please the girls. You don’t have to worry about not having a daughter-in-law in the future.” She was unlike her. If Zhai Sheng wasn’t too rigid, wasn’t sweet with words, and didn’t know to please girls in the past, given how she hated Qi Minlan, how would she have let her son marry Qi Minlan’s daughter?
It was all because her son was serious in speech and manner and didn’t have any girls by his side. It was rare for Qiu Chenxi to be willing to give up her everything, abandon her reservations as a girl, and take the initiative to contact Zhai Sheng. In the end, Miao Jing had no choice but to recognize Qiu Chenxi as her daughter-in-law.
She couldn’t possibly let her son miss out on what was highly his only chance to get married in this lifetime because of her personal likes and dislikes.
“I think Er Bao’s pretty good like this. He’s much better than his father. If he’s sweet with words, he can coax girls easily. I believe the boys from our Zhai family are good. Er Bao’s wife would be blessed in the future.” In the end, Miao Jing even added in these words. Upon hearing them, Qiao Nan had the urge to vomit blood.
Qiao Nan drank a sip of water to suppress her nerves. “Although I mentioned before that I’m not particularly insistent or opposed to you falling in love at an early age, there must be a degree for everything. Furthermore, you’re only junior high school students now. It’s too early for you to be falling in love. I don’t specify how much you have to score in exams every time, but as long as you’re still studying and there’s an obvious deterioration of scores, don’t blame me for teaching you why flowers are red. Understand?”
Even if she couldn’t bear to, she would definitely insist on using a feather duster to teach these three children a lesson.
“Mom, what are you saying?” San Bao blushed in embarra.s.sment. Since she was in fourth grade, she would receive a lot of love letters every day. It was just that Da Bao and Er Bao had helped her handle those love letters well. She didn’t care about this matter, let alone tell her mother about it.
Today, Qiao Nan suddenly talked about falling in love at an early age. As a girl who had received a lot of love letters, when San Bao looked at Qiao Nan again, she would, more or less, feel a little guilty.
“Mom, there wouldn’t be such a day,” Da Bao said indifferently. Even if Er Bao and San Bao had such thoughts, he would definitely appear in time and completely remove these silly thoughts of theirs. “I’ll help you keep an eye on them. With me around, they wouldn’t dare to do anything.”
San Bao made a face to Da Bao. However, she didn’t deny Da Bao’s words. After all, what he said was the truth. When she had received her first love letter and was hesitating if she should hand it over to her mother, Da Bao had found out about it and took it away without a word.
San Bao didn’t know how Da Bao had handled this matter. San Bao knew that ever since that day, she didn’t receive a second love letter during the remaining two months of the semester. Even the owner of the first love letter didn’t appear before her.
San Bao initially didn’t understand the reason for this and thought that someone was joking with her. Otherwise, why was it that there was only a letter and no follow-up?
It was only when Er Bao encountered a similar situation to her own that San Bao realized how much Da Bao had done for her and Er Bao.
For some time afterward, San Bao kept observing Da Bao.
They were triplets and looked similar. Among the three of them, Da Bao was the tallest and with the best results. It didn’t make sense that she and Er Bao had received love letters but Da Bao didn’t. As such, San Bao thought of a way to secretly observe Da Bao as she wanted to see if his situation was more overboard then hers and Er Bao’s.
However, before San Bao could find out the truth, she was already discovered by Da Bao.
Even if Da Bao had found out about it and she didn’t manage to continue observing him, San Bao believed that based on the fact that they were born to the same mother at the same time, Da Bao’s popularity in the market wouldn’t be worse than hers and Er Bao’s. In fact, Da Bao might even have received more love letters and confessions than her and Er Bao.
Otherwise, how would they be considered as triplets?
San Bao had taken the initiative to forget about this matter. However, Er Bao had taken the initiative to bring this up. San Bao was both angry and curious. She was curious as to why Da Bao chose to respond at this time. Wasn’t he afraid that their mother would sense that something was amiss?
“Okay, help me keep an eye on them. Da Bao, it’s not that I don’t believe in you. I just feel that all of you are still too young. Da Bao, you have to take note as well. You’re too similar to your father. When your father was young, there were a lot of girls circling around him.” If Brother Zhai was that popular in the market back then, Da Bao would definitely only outperform him now.
Da Bao blushed and felt embarra.s.sed. “Yes.” He was like his father. If there was a chance in the future, he wanted to find a wife who was like his mother.
Er Bao and San Bao noticed that Qiao Nan’s att.i.tude to Da Bao was different from them. They snorted unhappily and squeezed to Miao Jing’s side. “Grandma, Mom only likes Da Bao. She doesn’t like Er Bao anymore. Er Bao wants to be nice to grandma. Grandma, you have to comfort me.”
“Grandma, I’m hurt by Mom’s att.i.tude. I have been obedient all along. However, Mom actually doesn’t believe me. Grandma, I’m so sad that I want to cry. Grandma, Mom doesn’t love me anymore. I’m a child that no one dotes on and loves. Boohoo.” Toward the end, San Bao even faked a cry.
Miao Jing hugged Er Bao and San Bao in her arms. She said in comfort, “Be obedient. You are grandma’s precious grandchildren. How could your mother not dote on you or believe you? Also, you have to believe that grandma dotes on you. In this world, I only trust and dote on the three of you the most,” Miao Jing said happily as she touched Er Bao’s and San Bao’s faces.
“Cough…” Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao had become the most important in Miao Jing’s heart. Zhai Yaohui, who didn’t know which position he was pushed to, was unhappy. He had to remind Miao Jing that he was still around and she had to have him in her heart.
The three children stared at him. Those looks of confusion were the same as Qiao Nan’s. Indeed, they were related by blood.
The triplets sniffed and went into Qiao Nan’s arms. Snort. Their dad stuck close to their mom and grandpa loved grandma. Even great-grandpa had chased after great-grandma and was no longer around. All the men in the Zhai family were like this.
After Da Bao and Er Bao married their wives, they would most likely behave in the same way. As she thought about this, San Bao felt sour in her heart.
