Chapter 1268: A Misunderstanding

Chapter 1268 A Misunderstanding Currently, besides looking listless, Er Bao did not mention that he was unwell. They would be overreacting if they were to send him to the hospital now.These were both Old Master Zhai and Zhai Yaohui's thoughts.

Qiao Nan felt that it made sense. The triplets did not know how to talk but they could express their thoughts by gesturing. In addition, Er Bao could speak a couple of words, or more than that sometimes.

If Er Bao was feeling unwell, he would have long gestured and expressed himself.

Since she was not sure, Qiao Nan decided to listen to the elders' opinions and observe one more night before deciding again.

However, Qiao Nan was already prepared to have a sleepless night. If Er Bao were to display any symptoms, she would want to discover it at the onset and then arrange for someone to send him to the hospital. She would also keep him company thereafter.

The child was still young. Hence, any treatment of illnesses could not be delayed.

As the grandmother, Miao Jing had the same thoughts too. As such, she was resolute and decisive in 'abandoning' Zhai Yaohui so that she could guard by the side of her three little grandchildren, lest Er Bao show any signs of changes.

At the sight of Miao Jing looking worried, Qiao Nan touched Da Bao's and Er Bao's little hands. The two children kicked up a little fuss earlier, but she managed to coax them to sleep thereafter. "Mom, why don't you sleep together with Da Bao and San Bao, while I carry Er Bao to the smaller bed to sleep?"

When Zhai Sheng was back this time, the triplets enjoyed playing with him during the day. However, during nighttime, firm in their resolution, the triplets would join forces and unanimously chase Zhai Sheng off Qiao Nan's bed.

On the day of the triplets' first birthday, Zhai Sheng, as the father, quietly gave the triplets a huge present.

Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan's bedroom was not small. In fact, it was quite big. Qiao Nan was not very vain and did not like to buy many clothes. Zhai Sheng had even fewer clothes than Qiao Nan. As such, the small closet in the bedroom could completely store all of the couple's clothes.

However, gradually, this closet was not enough to store the clothes after the triplets were born.

Fortunately, the triplets grew very quickly and they could immediately remove clothes that did not fit from the bedroom. As such, the bedroom was not packed with clothes.

The thirty-square-meter bedroom had a 1.8 meters long bed, a small closet, and a little dressing table. After the triplets were born, there were three more baby cribs in the room.

Given the triplets' behavior, Zhai Sheng had hidden the original presents that he had prepared. When the triplets could understand that they should not interrupt their parents from loving each other, he would give them the presents.

On their first birthday, he needed to give them something.

Thus, a huge truck drove to the driveway of the Zhai family's residence early in the morning.

Before the Zhai family was completely full of life, Zhai Sheng shifted the triplets' three baby cribs out of the bedroom to the storeroom. He then got someone to shift and assemble the new 1.8-meter bed that he had purchased.

Zhai Sheng's intent of buying this bed was very obvious. The triplets might not be able to sleep on their own in a separate room now. Nevertheless, on the rare occasions when he was home, he hoped that the three little light bulbs could sleep on a separate bed.

This bed had been in the room for only a few days and no one had the chance to sleep on it yet. Today, the opportunity had arrived.

After Miao Jing agreed, Qiao Nan carried Er Bao and placed him on that new bed.

Miao Jing followed over. "Nan Nan, why don't you take care of Da Bao and San Bao? I will take care of Er Bao. It's been quite tough on you recently. Your internship doesn't seem to be easier than your usual studies. The department that you're working at is so important. If you didn't rest well tonight, you won't have the energy to go to work tomorrow."

It was all thanks to Elder Lin. Otherwise, Nan Nan would not be able to enter such a good place for her internship to learn and gain experience.

Since Qiao Nan was gifted the opportunity, of course, Miao Jing hoped that Qiao Nan could grab hold of it and not be left with any regrets. Elder Lin would not feel disappointed then.

Qiao Nan declined. "Mom, let me do it. If Er Bao really feels unwell, he will feel happier that I am by his side. You have been so busy with the triplet's first birthday celebration recently. Hurry, go to rest."

The three children were still very young. Otherwise, she would have taken care of Er Bao alone, in case the illness spread to Da Bao and San Bao.

Miao Jing's health had never been very good. However, Qiao Nan was still a student. She could not transform into two people. Hence, she could not help much with the first birthday celebration of the triplets. She could even barely rush home for lunch every day.

At the sight of the fatigue on her mother-in-law's face, Qiao Nan did not have the shame to let her mother-in-law stay overnight to take care of Er Bao. This would harm her health too much. "Mom, it's late now. Quickly go to sleep. Da Bao and San Bao need someone beside them. If you don't lie down on the bed in time, they will definitely wake up and kick up a fuss."

Indeed, she was the biological mother. Her predictions were so accurate.

San Bao, who was long used to the warmth of having an adult lying beside her, was snorting and making some noises, knitting her brows and twisting her body. She looked like she was able to wake up.

As a good citizen and elder brother, Da Bao was moving too given San Bao's reaction. Only Er Bao, whom Qiao Nan was sitting beside, was still sleeping soundly.

At the sight of Da Bao and San Bao stirring in their sleep, Miao Jing got onto the bed anxiously. She then gently coaxed and patted Da Bao and San Bao.

When the two children felt that someone was beside them, they fell into a deep slumber again shortly.

Qiao Nan insisted. It was also true that Miao Jing had been exhausted from the first birthday celebration arrangements for the triplets. Shortly, Miao Jing fell asleep too. Qiao Nan was hugging Er Bao throughout the entire night. She would wake up from time to time to touch Er Bao's little hands and face to observe if there was anything amiss.

Er Bao was totally unaware that his overreaction and little tantrum had frightened his mother so badly.

After having a tough night, Qiao Nan had dark circles under her eyes the next morning.

At the sound of water running in the toilet, Miao Jing gradually woke up. She saw that Qiao Nan had finished washing her face. "Is Er Bao alright during the night?"

Qiao Nan could not help yawning. She gave a bitter smile. "This little lad has been sleeping soundly the entire night. He did not wake up at all. I should wake them up now and let them go to the toilet." When Qiao Nan woke up, Er Bao, who was sleeping beside her, was holding his little tummy and snoring. He was drooling, his mouth slightly opened. He was sleeping so soundly!

After confirming that Er Bao's body temperature did not change, and he did not seem to feel unwell, Qiao Nan then woke up and dragged her exhausted body to the toilet to wash her face.

She had been frightened badly by Er Bao, this little lad, yesterday.

Judging from this, Er Bao was not feeling unwell. Had they misunderstood his bad mood and tantrums?
