1258 Her Bad Temper Is Getting Worse
It was so heartbreaking.
Zhai Sheng thought that Da Bao would surrender to him like Er Bao. Instead, Da Bao chose to be with his grandpa, abandoning his father. Zhai Yaohui was the one who benefited from it.
Zhai Sheng could tell that three minutes ago, Da Bao disliked him and his father. But since Da Bao was at odds with him, he chose to go to his grandpa.
Zhai Sheng was helpless that he had such a father who liked to mess things up for his son.
Zhai Yaohui blinked at the mocking gaze that his son gave him. He felt contented to hold his eldest grandson in his arms. Nothing was more important than the grandson in his embrace. He did not care about his son. His daughter-in-law would be responsible for his son. He could not be bothered.
He was contented to have his grandchildren!
“San Bao, let auntie hug you, okay?” Zhai Hua ground her teeth. Her father held Da Bao in his arms, while Zhai Sheng had two children with him. How could Zhai Sheng be so greedy to take Er Bao and San Bao with him? He should pa.s.s San Bao to her. It would be fun playing with little girls.
Zhai Sheng did not bother to look at Zhai Hua. Instead, the little girl in his arms felt that she had enough fun and she no longer cared for the novelty. She shouted for her mama and turned to lean toward Qiao Nan.
“Pa.s.s her to me.” San Bao was sitting on Zhai Sheng’s shoulder. It was strenuous for Qiao Nan to carry San Bao from Zhai Sheng’s shoulder. Zhai Sheng was tall and San Bao had put on weight recently. Qiao Nan did not have enough strength in her arms. It was getting more and more strenuous to carry the triplets.
If it was in the past, Qiao Nan did not even have any strength in her arms.
Perhaps now that she had three children, she had gained muscle strength from carrying them and taking care of them. “Are you done playing? You finally thought of your mama after such a long time.” Qiao Nan patted her daughter on her chubby bottom. She gave her cheeks a small bite, expressing her anger and love for her.
When the little girl was on her father’s shoulder, she did not even bother to look in her direction, having lots of fun playing with her father.
San Bao was quick-witted. She could tell that her mama was jealous. She called her mama endearingly and planted a lot of kisses on her mama’s face. She played the coquette. No one was immune to her affectionate gestures.
Qiao Nan smiled and returned the kiss. “Now that you realize you are in trouble, you behaved as such. Are you betting that I won’t be able to do anything to you? Such a heartless girl.”
“Mama, mama.” San Bao called Qiao Nan endearingly. There was no way that Qiao Nan could keep pretending to be angry at her. The young lady twisted about in her mother’s arms, thirsty.
Qiao Nan sat down with San Bao in her arms while Zhai Hua took a cup of water and fed San Bao with the water.
San Bao’s heart was with Zhai Sheng. However, since she was in her mother’s arms and Qiao Nan did not object when Zhai Hua fed her with the water, she drank the water happily while kicking her legs.
She did not trust Zhai Hua nor did she accept Zhai Hua. But she believed that since her mama was around, her mama would not allow anyone to bully her.
If the bad guy was up to any tricks, her mama would drive the bad guy away.
Zhai Hua wiped San Bao’s mouth after she finished the water. “How is the arrangement for your interns.h.i.+p? What are the guidelines or rules? Tell me about it. Since all of us are here, we can give you some suggestions or feedback.”
To other people, it was merely a simple interns.h.i.+p, but to Qiao Nan, it was not simple at all. Qiao Nan had to treat it as her exams. The interns.h.i.+p was tantamount to official employment. Other students could skive during the interns.h.i.+p, but Qiao Nan had to work extra hard and make sure that everything was perfect.
Zhai Hua believed that Qiao Nan should have understood all these and might have known that it would be the case right from the beginning. She believed that Qiao Nan would not react strongly when she brought it up today.
Qiao Nan was married to Zhai Sheng and they already had children. Qiao Nan should have understood and prepared herself mentally for this.
Zhai Hua was glad that Qiao Nan kept striving to do better. She was intelligent and flexible. It was her positive traits that made Zhai Sheng fall for her and insist on marrying her. That was why the Zhai family had three lovable and smart children.
Qiao Nan did not know that Zhai Hua was so conflicted due to the one-month interns.h.i.+p. “My master had told me about the interns.h.i.+p before school reopened this year. He will make all the arrangements for me. He had told me of my responsibilities. Now, all I have to do is to wait until the interns.h.i.+p starts and report to the unit that he had arranged for me.”
This was indeed a headache. Luckily, she had a capable master and it saved a lot of trouble for her. Particularly, Qiao Nan had no need to worry herself over the different targets that had to be fulfilled in the interns.h.i.+p.
She knew that as her master, Lin Yuankang would make all the arrangements for her.
Whenever she thought of this, she was thankful that her interests were similar to the path that her master had chosen for her. Otherwise, with such a domineering master who had her best interests, it would be a headache when she graduated and had to decide on the job that she wanted.
“Elder Lin…” Zhai Hua touched her chin that had suffered a blow from San Bao when she was flailing her arms.
Zhai Hua could tell that San Bao felt comfortable and pleased to be in her mother’s arms. She had a relaxed expression on her face. However, she could not help but tease San Bao from time to time. She was hoping that through her teasing, San Bao would remember that a few months back, Zhai Hua used to take care of her when she was still an infant.
She deserved more than Zhai Sheng to be liked and welcomed by the triplets.
Back when Qiao Nan went to the hospital to give birth to babies, she was the one who stayed by her side and watched as the triplets came to the world. Zhai Sheng was absent all the while. He did not even turn up when the triplets were one month old.
That was why Zhai Hua behaved like a child and kept teasing San Bao. San Bao could no longer tolerate her teasing. She flushed red in anger and was about to cry out loud.
Zhai Hua pulled her hands back quickly, not forgetting to mock her. “The little girl has grown taller, but her bad temper seems to be getting worse.”
