“It has been tough on you, doctor.” Seeing that Qiao Nan was pushed out with a pale-face look and she seemed to be still asleep, Zhai Sheng was grateful to the doctor that performed the operation on her today.

  The doctor removed his mask. “During the operation, her blood pressure increased and her heartbeat became irregular. The situation wasn’t looking optimistic. The operation was successful, but in the next twenty-four hours, you have to pay more attention to her. I’ve already told this to the nurses and they will be taking care of her more.”

  No one could tell what would happen after an operation.

  After knowing whose daughter-in-law Qiao Nan was and what a big shot her husband was, the doctor didn’t want to recall the abnormalities that appeared in Qiao Nan’s body during the operation. It was really stressful for him to have undergone that.

  “Alright, doctor. I understand.” Zhai Sheng didn’t expect that following the birth of the triplets, Qiao Nan’s condition still wasn’t stable yet. Suppressing the fear in his heart, Zhai Sheng took out his mobile and called home. “Hello, Mom. It’s me. Don’t be anxious. It’s not that something happened to Nan Nan, but Nan Nan has given birth. She has given birth to the triplets. Yes, you can decide for yourself what needs to be done.”

  Upon hearing that her daughter-in-law had given birth to three grandchildren safely, Miao Jing couldn’t wait for a pair of wings to be on her back so that she could fly to the hospital. “Hurry up! Nan Nan has given birth! No, I must go to the hospital immediately to see her and our three darling grandchildren. Oh, right. Auntie, hurry to the market and see if there’s any fish or soup. We must have sufficient supplies at home. Remember to buy wild fish, and pick those bigger ones.”

  “Alright.” The auntie was surprised as well. Even though she knew that Qiao Nan was going to give birth prematurely, who would have expected that it would be today? “Don’t worry. I’ve already communicated this to a friend of mine. He has fresh wild black fish. I’ll go pick them up now.”

  \r \r \r

  After handing over all the family matters to the auntie, Miao Jing pulled Zhai Yaohui and rushed to the hospital. “Zhai Sheng, where’s Nan Nan? Where’re the children?”

  “Nan Nan is resting. The children are naturally in the nursery room.” After the operation ended, Zhai Sheng hadn’t visited the children yet. He was guarding Qiao Nan and refused to leave. As for Qiao Dongliang, with Zhai Sheng around for Qiao Nan, he naturally went to guard his three grandchildren with ease. Qiao Dongliang shared that in the past, he often saw the news saying that someone had carried away the wrong child or had lost them.

  To be on the safe side, he had to personally look after his three grandchildren!

  Once Miao Jing heard that the three grandchildren were in the nursery room, her eyes shone and she rushed over. Compared to the excited Miao Jing, Zhai Yaohui seemed calmer. “Are Qiao Nan and the three children alright?”

  “The doctor said that aside from the children being lighter in weight, they are alright. Nan Nan… There were some problems during the operation, so she has to be under observation for twenty-four hours. Dad, you and Mom might have to take care of the triplets more in the future.” After giving birth, Nan Nan might not be able to take care of three children at the same time.

  Zhai Yaohui’s eyes flashed and his shoulders collapsed slightly. The situation that he least wanted to happen eventually happened. Qiao Nan was a geriatric pregnant woman to begin with. She even gave birth to triplets. If… Zhai Yaohui knew that from a rational point of view, it would undoubtedly be best for Qiao Nan, who was pregnant with triplets, not to have given birth if she was suitable for an abortion.

  It was just that Zhai Yaohui didn’t think as much as Miao Jing and his mindset was still more traditional. Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, Zhai Sheng still needed to have a child with his blood.

  Everyone had their selfish moments. Zhai Yaohui was no exception.

  Seeing that his son was nervous, Zhai Yaohui couldn’t tell if his insistence back then was correct or not. Thankfully, the three children were safe. Qiao Nan… He believed that after becoming the mother of these three children, the resilient Qiao Nan would only become stronger than before. She wouldn’t leave her three newborns behind. “We should believe in Qiao Nan. Nothing will happen to her. The triplets need their parents, especially their mother.”

  Zhai Sheng’s eyes looked a little cold. “Yes, nothing will happen to Nan Nan. We only appeared in each other’s lives after being late for so many years. In the years to come, both of us wouldn’t miss out on each other. When Nan Nan was pushed in, I told the doctor to safeguard the adult instead of the children if anything were to happen. Dad, this is the first time, and it will also be the last.”

  Zhai Sheng knew how much Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing were looking forward to seeing the children. Of course, if Qiao Nan didn’t insist on the children herself, Zhai Sheng wouldn’t have let her give birth for Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing alone. In this family, it seemed that he, as the father, was the only one who wasn’t particularly looking forward to the arrival of the children. As he was outnumbered, he could naturally only obey the majority rule.

  Zhai Sheng didn’t expect the only time he was indulgent to have caused such huge damage. Really, it was enough to feel this amount of worry and fear once. He wasn’t going to let this happen again.

  Hearing how distant Zhai Sheng’s tone was, Zhai Yaohui felt sour in his heart. Wasn’t his grandson Zhai Sheng’s son? Didn’t he and Miao Miao care so much for Zhai Sheng as well?

  It was just that Zhai Yaohui didn’t say these words out. He slapped Zhai Sheng’s back and said, “Isn’t this nonsense? Even if the country opens up a second-child policy, you and Nan Nan already have three children. What else do you want? Stop being a soldier?”

  This one time was already so breath-taking. Another time? Zhai Yaohui really wanted to say that he wasn’t certain if he still had the lifespan to wait for that day to happen. Anyway, his courage wouldn’t allow him to experience this again.

  After Zhai Yaohui arrived at the nursery room, unlike Miao Jing and Qiao Dongliang who kept staring at and complimenting their three grandchildren, he stood silently beside Miao Jing.

  Miao Jing smiled and turned to look at Zhai Yaohui. “Old Zhai, look. These three cutest children belong to our family. Aren’t they good-looking?” Zhai Yaohui’s eyes flashed. “Miao Miao, I wasn’t by your side when you gave birth to Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng back then. It has been tough on you.”

  Seeing how tough and dangerous it had been for Qiao Nan, it didn’t mean that the Miao Jing who was leading a good life now had a safe and successful delivery of her second child back then. It was unknown to Zhai Yaohui, who had been away from home back then, if Miao Jing had encountered a dangerous situation or been in pain.

  Miao Jing blushed. “What are you talking about? I’m asking now if our three grandchildren are good-looking.”

  When she was giving birth to Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng? Miao Jing almost had no impression of it.
