1220 Honest and Forthright Chap

No matter what, her first daily meal was fed by this person for the past few days. She had to give him some face.

It was seldom that his daughter requested to be carried by him. Hence, there was no reason for Zhai Sheng to decline it.

Zhai Sheng smiled. He ignored s.h.i.+ Qing’s reluctant face and carried his little daughter without a word. He even gave her a kiss. This was his daughter. He could thus carry and kiss her as he wished. As for Zhu Baoguo, he should abidingly stand by the side and continue staring with a tempted look in his eyes.

s.h.i.+ Qing was not pleased. “I can’t carry San Bao now. I will carry Da Bao. Da Bao, come to G.o.dmother’s side.” Without waiting for Da Bao to reply, s.h.i.+ Qing carried Da Bao into her arms.

Both Da Bao and San Bao had someone to carry. Without a word, Zhu Baoguo, who had been watching with a tempted look, carried the nice-smelling Er Bao without discussing it with anyone. He refused to let go thereafter. “When did you become the three children’s G.o.dmother? Er Bao, I am your uncle. Call uncle. Uncle will give you something fun to play with.”

The baby in his arms was so soft. It was softer than the pillow that he used for sleeping.

It looked like a little bun but an extremely st.u.r.dy and heavy one.

Initially, when he saw the triplets looking so tiny and shorter than his calves, he thought that the three of them would be very light. It was only when he carried Er Bao in his arms that he realized that they might be small but were, in fact, quite heavy. “Your maternal grandfather wishes to see you very much. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have the time recently. So, uncle will carry all of you more on behalf of him. When your maternal grandfather asks me, it’ll easier for uncle to reply.”

Zhu Baoguo felt very pleased at the thought that he had carried Er Bao before his biological father could.

So what if he was the father? His father could not always win in every matter. In the end, he was the one who carried Er Bao first.

Perhaps Zhu Baoguo looked too silly. As a natural-born actor, Er Bao did not shun Zhu Baoguo’s hug. However, there seemed to be a tinge of disdain on his face when he looked at Zhu Baoguo. It was as if he was looking at a husky.

“Where is Nan Nan?” His most important daughter was in his arms. As such, Zhai Sheng graciously agreed to lend his son to Zhu Baoguo for the latter to carry.

Pinching San Bao, who was in his arms, there was a flash of darkness in Zhai Sheng’s eyes. Zhu Baoguo could carry Da Bao and Er Bao but not San Bao. This did not only apply to Zhu Baoguo but also to others.

San Bao was the only girl. Of course, she should be given more care than her two elder brothers, lest she be taken away by the bad guys of other families.

A daughter was her father’s lover in his past life.

San Bao was only four months old. Besides drinking milk, she did not know anything else, yet her father had already silently isolated her from all other living males. He certainly disallowed any males from appearing by her side and coming into close contact with her.

Zhu Baoguo was the first one to be blacklisted by Zhai Sheng.

Zhu Baoguo, who was absolutely oblivious to this, was glancing continuously at San Bao as he carried Er Bao. “I brought many little gifts with me this time. All are for the triplets, but I don’t know if they will like them.”

Upon arriving in the capital yesterday and finding out that Qiao Nan had become a mother of three, he was suddenly overwhelmed by mixed feelings—sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy.

The lady that he liked had given birth. Unfortunately, he was not the father. He could only appear as the uncle by the three children’s side and show his concern for them.

After sorting out his disheartened feelings, Baoguo dashed into a shop selling maternal and infant-care items. He consulted the salesperson for a long time and bought many items for the triplets as presents.

Zhu Baoguo bought a huge quant.i.ty of items for both boys and girls. He was a customer who was hard to come by.

Last evening, one of the female sales personnel of the maternal and infant-care shop did not attend to anyone else except for Zhu Baoguo. She spent all her time and effort to listen to Zhu Baoguo’s situation and provide solutions and suggestions for him.

In the end, Zhu Baoguo lived up to her expectations. He carried a bag of items as huge as a hill when he finally left the shop.

It could be said that the money that Zhu Baoguo spent in the shop that day was almost equivalent to half of their sales revenue for the day itself.

Where could they find such a huge customer like him?

If they had one such customer every day, all the salespeople would be leading good lives.

Zhu Baoguo was also an honest and forthright chap. He had really brought over all the huge ‘mountain’ of items over to the Zhai family’s residence. He was not afraid that Zhai Sheng would misunderstand and feel jealous at all.

It could be said that Zhu Baoguo’s gifts and concern for the triplets had directly exceeded that of Zhai Sheng, the biological father.

Those who were unaware would inevitably misunderstand that Zhu Baoguo was the triplet’s biological father and Zhai Sheng was most probably the uncle.

Only Zhu Baoguo, this kind of honest and forthright chap, would do something as such that would easily attract hate from others. Typical folks would not be able to bring themselves to do that.

At the sight of Zhai Sheng’s expression looking increasingly worse than when she went into his room without knocking earlier, s.h.i.+ Qing could not bear to see Zhu Baoguo continue with his foolish acts. She thus started to ‘criticize’ Zhu Baoguo. “There will be new and upgraded products very soon nowadays. Better things will appear after a short time. The triplets are still so young, yet you bought so much stuff. They won’t be able to use them all at once. When the new products are out, they will certainly use the best ones. Do you know how to buy things?”

Just with one glance, s.h.i.+ Qing could confirm that besides buying items that the triplets could play with at their current age, he also bought many that they could use even when they were one year old.

Zhu Baoguo did not mind spending so much money at all. He said in a bold and righteous manner, “Certainly, the triplets deserve good things. These items can be used as back up then. There’s no harm being prepared. If they are really not suitable anymore, I will buy new ones for them. So what if it is wasteful? I’m spending my own money, not other people’s money. You don’t need to worry.”

It did not cost him that much money. If his father were the one who went shopping yesterday, given his father’s temperament, he might have bought half the items in the shop. His father was the real shopper. His performance was already the outcome of a very restrained behavior.

“Ah!” Er Bao started making noise. He stuck his little hands into his mouth and sucked it hard. He was also drooling more.

Zhai Sheng understood Er Bao’s behavior at one glance. He took out the teething rusks and gave the triplets one each.

As soon as the triplets saw the teething rusks, their little eyes lit up. They chewed the rusks deliciously in their mouths. Their tiny faces looked like the blossomed sunflowers. They were so pleased.

As for Zhu Baoguo, this uncle who spent a lot of money buying presents for them, the triplets did not even take an additional glance at him. They were still too young to understand these matters. They were happy and busy chewing their rusks, as if they now owed the whole world.

“He has really become a father.” s.h.i.+ Qing exclaimed. As soon as Zhai Sheng made this move, he had amazingly appeased the triplets all at the same time.
