Chapter 2135: a.s.surance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Because he had gotten married to Qiao Nan, Zhai Sheng had felt for the first time that having a child with his blood was actually a beautiful thing. But now, Zhai Sheng regretted that immensely. True enough, his initial opinion had been right. There was no need to insist on having children. To him, Nan Nan was the most important and the only thing that mattered to him was having Nan Nan by his side until the very end.

Miao Jing tried to calm down. “Don’t worry. She’s fine. It’s just that something happened a few days ago, but Qiao Nan and the children are in a stable condition now. The doctor said that there’s no need for us to worry. Nan Nan is strong and so are the triplets.”
“Where’s Nan Nan? I want to see her.” Zhai Sheng could not rest easy because he had not personally seen her.. At this time, he wanted nothing more than to hug and kiss Qiao Nan.” Mom, in case… I hope you realize what’s the most important to us. I just want Nan Nan to survive.”
Of course, Zhai Sheng hoped that they would not face such a situation and the doctor would not need to ask them whether they wanted to preserve the life of the mother or the children. But that did not mean that it would definitely not happen. He wanted both the mother and the children. But if he were to be faced with that choice, Zhai Sheng was a selfish person and would much rather give up the children for his wife.

Miao Jing had the urge to slap Zhai Sheng on his body but she had been feeling unwell ever since Qiao Nan had been admitted to the hospital. Even after she calmed down, her hands and feet would tremble involuntarily. She could not imagine how she would respond if the doctor were to pose that question to them.
Of course, the mother was important, but she could not bear to give up her grandchildren either.
The doctor had not even asked her to make a choice and yet, her own son, Zhai Sheng, had taken the initiative to bring up the matter. Miao Jing could not help but feel as though she had been stabbed in the heart. She resented her son very much. “Don’t spout nonsense. Nan Nan and the children will be fine. You won’t understand because you’re not a mother. It doesn’t matter what we say. Nan Nan’s decision is what matters. Mothers carry their babies for a good nine months. They’re part of our bodies. You men will never understand that pain.”
They were only ‘outsiders’ when it came to deciding on whose life to preserve. Only the pregnant lady could make that decision for herself.
Miao Jing could feel Qiao Nan’s love toward the three children all this while. Even if she could bear to give up her grandchildren, she was worried that Qiao Nan herself would not bear to do so. Then, would they be able to convince Qiao Nan?
“I’ll make my own decision on this.” Zhai Sheng was frustrated and felt that it had not been such a good idea for Qiao Nan to have gotten pregnant at her age.
Qiao Nan was still half asleep when she felt someone enter her ward. Because this person felt familiar and made her feel secure and warm, Qiao Nan allowed herself to indulge in sleep.
When she awoke for the second time, Qiao Nan was surprised to discover that her husband had returned. “Brother Zhai, why are you here? It’s not time for you to be on your vacation yet!”
Zhai Sheng carefully took Qiao Nan into his embrace and his palm tenderly stroked Qiao Nan’s protruding stomach. “I missed you and the children, so I came to see you. How are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable or unwell? Is your leg swollen? Shall I give you a ma.s.sage?”
Qiao Nan blissfully remained in Zhai Sheng’s embrace and yawned lazily. “There’s no need for that. The confinement nanny is very good at taking care of me. I haven’t swelled up that much. Unless I give birth to the triplets, my waist will always hurt.”
“Nan Nan…”
“Brother Zhai!” Qiao Nan cut Zhai Sheng off. “Brother Zhai, I can feel that they’re in a hurry to meet us. It might not even take a month for us to become parents for real. The confinement nanny said that my body is a little weak, and given that I’m giving birth to three babies, it’s unlikely that I’ll have enough breastmilk. Which brand of formula milk do you think we should get for our children?”
She had not gotten the chance to collaborate with Tian Dong in this lifetime to produce a Chinese brand of formula milk. That meant she had to be extremely careful when selecting formula milk and milk bottles for her children.
“You can make that decision. As long as you’re happy.” Zhai Sheng had already had an answer to her question. Qiao Nan could read Zhai Sheng’s mind and knew what Zhai Sheng had wanted to ask her. Similarly, Zhai Sheng had gotten the answer he needed from Qiao Nan’s body language.
Qiao Nan was a.s.suring Zhai Sheng that neither she nor their children would be in danger. All four of them would be safe and sound and would stay right by Zhai Sheng’s side.
Qiao Nan heaved a sigh of relief because Zhai Sheng had not continued with that topic. She had no intention to face such a brutal and realistic question. Even though she was not as healthy and young as she had been in her dream, she believed that she would be able to protect herself and the children well and that no accidents would happen.
People got better with experience. As such, she had all reason to believe that she would do a better job than she had in her dream. So, there was no need to worry, much less talk about those hypothetical situations.
The couple shared an embrace without any words, wanting to enjoy the moment of peace and quiet.
Zhai Sheng patted Qiao Nan constantly on the back as though he was coaxing his daughter. “Nan Nan, you and the children will be fine, right?”
“Of course,” Qiao Nan answered confidently.
Zhai Sheng pecked Qiao Nan on the forehead before replying with a single word.
Knowing that the couple wanted to have some time to themselves, Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui left them alone. Before Zhai Sheng had returned, Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui had been tensed up because Qiao Nan had been hospitalized. Because they were afraid that something would happen to Qiao Nan before Zhai Sheng returned, the elderly couple had no choice but to pay more attention to Qiao Nan.
Now that Zhai Sheng had returned, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing could finally relax and let Zhai Sheng take care of Qiao Nan.
Zhai Hua had been informed that Qiao Nan had been hospitalized as a precaution. If not for Jiajia, Zhai Hua would have taken off for the capital to take care of Qiao Nan on her parents’ behalf. At her parents’ age, not only had they not been able to enjoy themselves, but they had even needed to face such great pressure.
