Chapter 2477 - Mushy (3)
It wouldn’t have been too good for him to have gotten in touch with Qiao Nan at that time. She would surely have gotten upset.
Sigh. He had always thought that he would have plenty of time to do so after growing up. He had never expected his younger siblings to have grown up so quickly.
“They’re still in kindergarten. After another year there, they’ll be entering primary school.”
At the mention of her three children, Qiao Nan’s gaze and tone became exceptionally tender and loving.
Stroking San Bao’s face through the phone, Chen Feng let out a delighted smile. “She looks exactly like you. She’s just as pretty.” Her smile was as warm as the sunlight.
Qiao Nan replied in annoyance, “I gave birth to three children, but both Da Bao and Er Bao look just like their father, especially Da Bao. Er Bao resembled me while he was younger, but as he grew older, his face started to resemble his father’s! Only San Bao’s left now to comfort me a little.”
Qiao Nan was truly mad.
She was the one who had carried the triplets for ten months and was the one who had given birth to them.
After giving birth to them, she had spent much more time with them than Zhai Sheng had. The three children had practically seen her face all the time while growing up.
But both her sons resembled Zhai Sheng, and only her daughter, San Bao, resembled her.
Qiao Nan felt like she had been taken advantage of.
With Er Bao as an example, Qiao Nan was afraid that San Bao would follow in Er Bao’s footsteps as she grew older and would start to resemble her father as well.
If that was the case, Qiao Nan felt that she would probably vomit blood.
She knew that the Zhai family was strong and powerful. But did their genes have to be so domineering as well? Couldn’t they leave a path for her too?

At the mention of the triplets, Qiao Nan seemed to have completely let herself go. Not only did she talk to Chen Feng about how obedient the triplets were but also about times when they angered her.
As a mother, it was only natural for her to be full of praise for her children in front of others. She could probably go on for three days and three nights.
Thankfully, Chen Feng was no ordinary young man and was especially patient at times like this.
What pleased Qiao Nan was that Chen Feng was truly concerned about the triplets and wanted to know more about them. That was why he listened especially intently.
One spoke with exhilaration while the other listened intently. They made a good pair together.
Who would believe that this auntie and nephew hadn’t met each other in six to seven years?
By the time Qiao Nan finished and glanced at her watch, two hours had already passed!
Qiao Nan picked up her cup and took a sip of water. “Feng Feng, it’s time for me to pick your younger siblings up. If we have a chance in the future, we can meet up again, or you can bring your siblings to the park to play.”
Qiao Nan didn’t trust Chen Jun or Qiao Zijin, much less Mother and Father Chen.
But she was still willing to let Chen Feng interact with her three children. After all, she believed that a child whom she brought up wouldn’t be anything like Chen Jun or Qiao Zijin.
Qiao Nan hoped that her decision wouldn’t be wrong.
“Alright!” Chen Feng’s eyes glimmered and he couldn’t hide his excitement. “Auntie, I should give my siblings something when I first meet them, right? Can you tell me what they like?”
As the inheritor and owner of all of the Chen family’s assets, Chen Feng had never revealed any of this in front of Qiao Zijin. He lived simply as though the Chen family had not left much to him.
But Chen Feng was clear about how much money he actually had.
To be honest, even if he didn’t study or work, he had enough to support him throughout his life.
It was just that Chen Feng didn’t fancy a life like that. He preferred earning his keep through his own hard work. Only a life like that would be meaningful and worth living. Even if it was hard, it would be worth it.
Besides, only when one went through hardships would one cherish good times.
Chen Feng had chosen an entirely different path from the one Qiao Zijin wanted. He had never exposed himself in front of Qiao Zijin, but now that he was in front of Qiao Nan, he had no intention of hiding it.
He had money and could afford to buy many toys for his younger siblings.
“Da Bao and Er Bao like guns while San Bao likes cars and pretty skirts.” San Bao was all grown up and wanted to act like a young lady and wear dresses.
After San Bao had learned to express her own thoughts, Qiao Nan had started to fill San Bao’s closet with more pretty little skirts.
Under Qiao Nan’s guidance, San Bao understood that she had to act more ladylike when she wore skirts and couldn’t act too wildly. Otherwise, those skirts wouldn’t look good on her.
“Oh, okay.”
It would be easy to purchase toys for Da Bao and Er Bao, but he would have to spend some effort on pleasing Lady San Bao.
Thankfully, Chen Feng had seen San Bao’s outfits in Qiao Nan’s videos and took it to heart.
Chen Feng felt that he wouldn’t stray too far off and would be able to get his little sister to like him as long as he bought a present according to San Bao’s dressing in the video.
Chen Feng had thorough plans, but reality threw him a curveball.
It wasn’t that the three children disliked the present that Chen Feng prepared for them. It was just that the three children only knew that they had an elder sister. They had no idea of the existence of an elder brother.
The three children were extremely curious and interested in this elder brother, and they continuously pestered Qiao Nan with questions about how he looked like, whether he had a good temper, and whether he would like them.
This was just like declaring war on Jiajia.
Where had this rascal come from? How dare he steal her brothers’ and sister’s attention away from her?
Jiajia was always kind to the triplets, and even Zhai Hua felt jealous at the mention of it. Now that there was Chen Feng vying for her younger siblings’ attention, Jiajia pretty much treated the triplets like her ancestors so as to win their hearts.
She had only toned down slightly because Qiao Nan had gotten angry over it.
One was an elder brother whom they had never met, while the other was an elder sister who had watched them grow up and always played with them and bought them things.
Between the two, it went without saying that the three children rushed to Jiajia without any hesitation. The four children were so close that it seemed excessively mushy.
