“Are the both of you three years old? Why are your faces covered with watermelon juice? Should I find the bib that you used when you were young and put them on for you?” Da Bao felt helpless as well. They were all born to the same mother. Why was there such a big difference?

This was especially so for San Bao. When they were outside, San Bao was the fairy that many young boys yearned for. When they returned home, San Bao immediately turned into a crazy little woman. Da Bao felt embarra.s.sed for her.

San Bao carelessly wiped her mouth with a tissue. “How pretentious.” Da Bao wasn’t old, but among the three of them, he loved to pretend to be matured. Snort. She felt a little awkward looking at him. Anyway, she didn’t care how others looked at her.

“There’s no meaning to this.” Er Bao felt comfortable all over after eating. “Da Bao, we are at home now. Is it fun to continue pretending? Sometimes, San Bao and I feel tired for you.” What was the reason for this? There were no ‘blind’ girls who were charmed by Da Bao at home.

Da Bao was such a rigid person who didn’t know how to laugh. Why did people have a secret crush on him?

Er Bao still didn’t understand that in school, he was known for his good looks, high IQ, and height. With these three conditions, it was no surprise that Da Bao was deemed as the most charming and handsome boy in school.

After eating to her fill, San Bao leaned back against the sofa and touched her stomach, not caring about her image at all. “Mom, Ling Ling hasn’t come to our house for a long time. Are she and Auntie Xu doing okay?” Since young, San Bao had only come into contact with boys. Among her playmates, only Fang Ling Ling was the same as her—a girl.

San Bao cherished a same-gender playmate like her. Furthermore, she was slightly older than Fang Ling Ling. In front of the triplets, she was pretty obedient. Few people would dislike such a well-behaved and pretty girl.

“Your Auntie Xu’s matter isn’t resolved yet, so it’s not convenient for Ling Ling to come to our house to play.” Qiao Nan shook her head. Even if Xu Shengnan had evidence of Fang s.h.i.+you having an affair in her hands, both parties didn’t enter into negotiations well due to the division of the house. This wasn’t resolved even in court. With trials happening one after another, they might still not be divorced until after one or two years, let alone one or two months.

Er Bao clenched his fists and made cracking sounds. “Ling Ling’s father is a good-for-nothing. Why don’t we get Dad to teach him a lesson? To talk reason to such a person is simply a waste of breath. It’s not worth it to waste time and feelings either.”

Auntie Xu was such a good woman and Ling Ling was such an obedient daughter, yet that man didn’t fancy them. Was he blind?

The triplets knew that Fang Ling Ling’s father was Fang s.h.i.+you. They had known Fang Ling Ling and Xu Shengnan since they were young. However, they didn’t even meet Fang s.h.i.+you before, let alone know him. It was without a doubt that the triplets would side with Xu Shengnan and Fang Ling Ling when conflicts arose among the three of them.

Furthermore, the triplets already had the concept of right and wrong. After knowing that Fang s.h.i.+you betrayed his family and provided for an indecent woman, who was now pregnant with his baby, the triplets’ tone was full of hatred and disdain when they talked about Fang Ling Ling’s father.

Qiao Nan squinted and knocked on the heads of her three children. She hit Da Bao’s head harder than the rest. “Da Bao, have you forgotten how I taught you? No matter what kind of person Ling Ling’s father is, he’s still your elder. You can ignore him, but you shouldn’t be using such a tone when talking about him. He’s just a stranger. Don’t you think you’re on the losing end if others say that that you’re rude and don’t have proper upbringing just because of this stranger?”

Da Bao carelessly touched the area where his mother had knocked on. “Mom, don’t you think that it’s not suitable to use the term ‘on the losing end’ here?”

Qiao Nan rolled her eyes in bad temper. “Oh, so now you’re teaching me? Fine, you have eaten a lot of watermelon now. It’s going to be dinner soon. Don’t complain to me that you’re hungry at midnight if you can’t eat dinner later as you’re still full from the watermelon.”

“I’ll listen to Mom. I’m done.” San Bao smiled and rubbed her red lips tightly. She crossed her hands and placed them on her knees. That quiet and happy look was like the image of a beautiful girl. People couldn’t help but be fascinated. When they were outside, San Bao was always like this and managed to charm all the boys of the same age.

If Da Bao was considered a male G.o.d in school, then San Bao was the female G.o.ddess. Er Bao, who was stuck in the middle, couldn’t compete against Da Bao and didn’t have the t.i.tle of the most handsome boy in school. However, he was still considered good-looking. He had a face that was eighty percent similar to Da Bao’s. If Da Bao was the most handsome boy in school, Er Bao wouldn’t fall behind by too far.

“Good girl.” Although she obviously knew that her daughter was pretending to be obedient, Qiao Nan still complimented San Bao. “Okay, go and have dinner.” Seeing that the auntie was bringing out dishes and filling up the dining table, Qiao Nan wiped away the sweat on her forehead.

When Qiao Nan first married into the Zhai family, even if Old Master Zhai was around and Elder Lin came over for a meal, the dishes on the table were at least less than half. However, ever since the triplets were born and knew how to eat, the food on the Zhai family’s dining table had increased yearly. This year, it was even doubled.

Of course, it was not only the dishes that were doubled. The white rice was doubled as well.

Even if the auntie had prepared a table full of dishes, with the triplets around, Qiao Nan was never worried about food wastage. As long as the triplets ate at their normal levels, all the dishes could be cleared.

It was just that Qiao Nan couldn’t help but sweat when she thought of how the pace was akin to feeding pigs. Did she really raise these three children, who could eat so well? The problem was that although she didn’t have a small appet.i.te all along, it wasn’t big either. Her three children were tall, but they looked slender.

It was because of that that Qiao Nan didn’t understand where the food the triplets stuffed themselves with every day disappeared to. Why was it that the triplets had only grown taller, but there wasn’t any extra meat on their bodies?

“Here, eat more. If it’s not enough, refill your bowl. Auntie has prepared a lot of food. Eat more vegetables. There’re a lot of nutrients there.” Miao Jing didn’t have as many thoughts as Qiao Nan. She didn’t care about others. As long as the triplets could eat, it didn’t matter where their food went to. Furthermore, didn’t the triplets’ heights from year to year explain everything?
