This peace wasn’t an absolute theory but a relativity theory.

  Compared to ordinary families, the Qiao family couldn’t be considered peaceful. However, compared to how the Qiao family was tormenting Qiao Nan, Qiao Nan could be said to really be at peace when Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi were living under the same roof.

  In order to make it more convenient for Jiajia to go to high school, and because Zhai Hua had already mended her relationship with the Zhai family, Zhai Hua brought Jiajia to live in the quad after the divorce. That night when Ding Jiayi suffered from food poisoning, the people from the northern quad weren’t familiar with the people from the southern quad and couldn’t inform Zhai Hua. Otherwise, Zhai Hua would have been involved in this as well.

  Qiao Nan leaned against the sofa and smiled. “The Wang family has already stopped creating trouble. Why would I worry about those two from the Qiao family?”

  After Ding Jiayi was discharged from the hospital, she naturally didn’t recover her relationship with Qiao Zijin like before. Thankfully, Ding Jiayi was still mindful of her own health. Even though she was still at odds with Qiao Zijin, she wouldn’t do things that would cause herself to be admitted into hospital again.

  Since Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were relatively settled, Qiao Nan focused wholeheartedly on being a full-time mother and raising the three children up well.

  Perhaps it was because others found out that she was giving tuition to Jiajia that there were quite a few people who came to the Zhai family recently, trying to get Qiao Nan to teach their children English.

  Qiao Nan rejected most of these children. Until now, she hadn’t agreed to anyone yet. However, giving children English tuition was something she was familiar with in this lifetime. Should she do this when the three children go to school in the future and she could be free?

  “Mom. Stomach. Hungry.” A chubby child pounced onto Qiao Nan’s knee, signaling that she was hungry. Qiao Nan looked at the time. There was still one and a half hours before dinner. She could only cut some fruits for the children first. “Sister Zhai Hua, I’ll go off now. The three children are hungry from playing. I’ll cut some fruits for them.”

  “Alright.” Zhai Hua hurriedly let Qiao Nan go, knowing the ‘bad habits’ of her nephews and niece. Furthermore, she had already shared most of what she wanted to with Qiao Nan.

  “San Bao, greet your aunt. After that, I’ll cut some fruits for you, alright?”

  San Bao looked at the phone and greeted Zhai Hua. Then, she flashed a cute smile at Qiao Nan. How would Qiao Nan be able to withstand her daughter’s coquettish behavior? After hanging up the call, she took her daughter’s hand and entered the kitchen.

  After the three children grew up, their tempers followed suit as well. The aunt had gone to the fruit stall in the market to buy all the fresh fruits at home. However, it was unknown when the three children started to eat only the fruits that Qiao Nan cut. It was as if they were afraid of the adults fooling them as they seemed to have come to an agreement to take turns and watch their mom cut fruits every day.

  Upon seeing this situation, Miao Jing always joked that these three children were mini supervisors who didn’t allow Qiao Nan to become lazy.

  Qiao Nan was fascinated. Could it be that the fruits she cut would become sweeter? She couldn’t communicate this to the three children, and it probably didn’t make sense to them. Thankfully, Qiao Nan was a full-time mother. She naturally had the time to cut fruits. After cutting a small piece of the red dragon fruit, Qiao Nan turned around and put it into San Bao’s mouth.

  San Bao was long prepared. She tried to open her mouth as wide as possible, letting out an ‘ah’. When her mouth was stuffed with that sweet piece of fruit, San Bao clapped with her chubby hands, and the smile on her face was sweeter than the red dragon fruit. She never stopped chewing. That blissful look made Qiao Nan doubt if she had really fed San Bao a piece of ordinary red dragon fruit. San Bao looked like she was eating dragon meat instead.

  After feeding San Bao two mouthfuls, Qiao Nan held San Bao’s hand again and walked slowly toward the game room. She knew that there were still two children waiting to be fed there.

  The triplets were fed with dragon fruit pieces in sequential order. Their eyes lit up and they were extremely satisfied with the treatment.

  Qiao Nan couldn’t help but smile when she saw her children’s happy looks. After a while, Qiao Nan felt a rather resentful look land on her and she felt uncomfortable. Qiao Nan turned and saw the three children’s father. “Brother Zhai, what’s wrong?”

  Zhai Sheng didn’t say anything. He looked at the dragon fruit unintentionally and played with the three children.

  Even though Zhai Sheng didn’t say a single word, based on Qiao Nan’s understanding of Zhai Sheng, she only felt that Zhai Sheng had used his whole body to express this: You are an unscrupulous woman who only wants your sons and daughter but not the father of your children.

  It was unknown if he had spent too much time with the children, causing him to become ‘young’ as well. In the face of such a childish husband who was competing with his sons and daughter for preferential treatment, Qiao Nan didn’t know if she should be angry or just laugh.

  What should she do?

  She had already fed her children. Could Qiao Nan not agree to feed her husband, especially since no one else was around?

  Qiao Nan picked up a small piece of dragon fruit and wanted to feed it into Zhai Sheng’s mouth. Zhai Sheng’s expression immediately improved when Qiao Nan understood what he meant. She finally noticed his presence and was going to treat him well. Before the couple could become loving, an unexpected intruder appeared halfway, making Zhai Sheng so angry that he felt that giving birth to children was one of the worst decisions he had ever made.

  Among the three children, Er Bao was the cheekiest and had many tricks up his sleeve.

  In the face of Da Bao and San Bao, Er Bao still had the patience to wait for his turn. When this person became Zhai Sheng, his father, Er Bao expressed that he was still a child and thus wanted his mom to feed him. His dad was already an adult. He could eat it himself.

  Upon seeing that the fruit in his mom’s hand wasn’t for the children but for his dad, the chubby Er Bao jumped up like a little leopard and rushed toward Zhai Sheng. Zhai Sheng reacted quickly. He stretched his long arms and held Er Bao easily. Er Bao clung to Zhai Sheng’s arm, stretched out his small neck, opened his mouth, and took a bite of the fruit which he snatched over.

  After succeeding in eating the fruit, Er Bao no longer wanted to stay in his biological father’s arms. With a twist of his little buttocks, he went down to his position and continued to play with models.

  Qiao Nan was speechless.

  Zhai Sheng was speechless as well.

  Which family did this agile child belong to? More importantly, Er Bao was very good at snatching over the fruit. How did he do it with his chubby body?
