So, boys would ultimately be closer to their father?
Clearly, she was the one who usually took care of the triplets. The aggregate time that Brother Zhai spent with Da Bao and Er Bao did not even exceed one month.
Who would have known that Da Bao and Er Bao were so fixed on playing with their father today? When they could not find him during the daytime, they even threw a lot of tantrums.
Qiao Nan snorted. Fortunately, she still had San Bao, this warm little cotton jacket. She was not going to bother about those two rascals anymore. She would ‘gift’ them to Brother Zhai and let him worry about them in the future.
Would Zhai Sheng miss that jealous look on Qiao Nan? He smiled and lowered his head to give her a kiss on the lips. “Don’t worry. You are the only one that I dote on and love most. If those two lads were not given birth to by you, you would see if I would bother about them.” Zhai Sheng was stating a fact. However, most people would not believe it.
Coincidentally, Qiao Nan also belonged to this category of people. Hence, she did not believe him. “Don’t divert from the topic. What exactly did you do during your trip to Ping Cheng this time?”
“I spent some money this time. A lot of money. I made the decision in a hurry. When I woke up, you were still sleeping. Hence, I didn’t wake you up, and there was no time to discuss it with you either. You won’t feel angry, right?” Zhai Sheng passed his salary to Qiao Nan again. He even clearly told her how much he had spent.
Qiao Nan did not take issue with how much Zhai Sheng spent. She just felt odd about a situation. “You have spent a large sum of money. What did you do?” This was such a huge sum of money. At the current market, one could already buy a house with it in Ping Cheng.
Qiao Nan had really guessed it right!
After Zhai Sheng washed up, he lay beside Qiao Nan. Same as yesterday, the first thing that he did was to hug Qiao Nan in his arms. “Do you still remember that, once, a Chinese businessman gave you a small courtyard?”
“Yes, his parents were teachers of Ping Cheng High School before their retirement.” Later on, she even specially donated this courtyard to Ping Cheng High School. She was very upset then and deeply afraid that her father would behave like her mother by taking her belongings and giving them to Qiao Zijin.
Now, when she thought about it, Qiao Nan had some regrets.
After what happened yesterday, anyone who was normal would not be able to tolerate staying under the same roof with such a woman. This was despite the fact they had not revived the marriage and reverted to an official couple in name.
Zhai Sheng leaned his chin gently on Qiao Nan’s head, filling his nose with the fragrance of Qiao Nan’s hair. He looked very relaxed and comfortable. “I have told you this a few years ago. That Chinese businessman wanted to return to the home country to develop his business. I heard that he is into real estate business currently. Coincidentally, he has a batch of commercial housing property that has just been completed and on sale. I bought a small suite for Dad. It should be enough as he is staying in it alone.”
He had viewed that house before. It had one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom. It was more than sufficient for one person to live in.
Everyone was so familiar with each other. Hence, the other party simply sold a unit that was renovated to Zhai Sheng. After payment, Qiao Dongliang could move in immediately.
As for the title deed and related items, Zhai Sheng also accompanied Qiao Dongliang to settle them. He had submitted all the required documents. After half a year, Qiao Dongliang would receive the title deed.
“You bought my dad a house?” As soon as she heard this, Qiao Nan’s reaction was a little big. Purchasing a property of her own was one of her greatest wishes in two lifetimes. Until now, Qiao Nan had not achieved it. She also had not graduated from college. Unexpectedly, her father had gotten a property first.
Zhai Sheng felt a little tired as he had been busy. Although his body could not help feeling ‘aroused’ as soon as he hugged Qiao Nan, at this moment, he could not do anything although he very much wanted to. Furthermore, there were three little rascals sleeping by their side.
Zhai Sheng, who felt helpless, could only hold Qiao Nan tightly in his arms. The two of them were tightly pressed to each other. “Yes, I have bought it. After knowing my intention, Dad did not decline and accepted it without a word.”
Zhai Sheng was also a man. Qiao Nan would not be able to understand Qiao Dongliang’s feelings more than Zhai Sheng.
Human hearts were made of flesh. Qiao Dongliang did not wish to give up on Qiao Zijin and wanted to persist to be a good father. However, after knowing the kind of person his former wife was, and the elder daughter that he refused to give up on had been taught and turned out as such, he could no longer carry on.
Now, whenever Qiao Dongliang saw these two women, his head would ache so badly that it felt like exploding.
Qiao Dongliang wanted to leave willfully but his only issue was finding a place to stay.
In order to teach Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin a lesson, Zhai Sheng personally made this trip. He wanted to help Qiao Dongliang resolve this housing problem such that Qiao Dongliang would have no further worries. “Dad has said that he is already divorced with Ding Jiayi and they should behave accordingly too. Ding Jiayi is not young but also not extremely old. If they continue to stay together, he is worried that he will obstruct Ding Jiayi from finding another romantic relationship.”
To hear such words from a man, one could tell how resolute Qiao Dongliang was about not reconciling with Ding Jiayi.
One had to know. To Qiao Dongliang, even if he really had a chance to find another woman to marry, he would also feel uneasy if he were to hear that Ding Jiayi was in the same situation as him.
However, at this moment, Qiao Dongliang could not wait for Ding Jiayi to find another man and get married as soon as possible so that she would fully let him off.
No matter how embarrassed Qiao Dongliang felt about accepting the house from his son-in-law and how much he did not want to trouble his daughter, at the thought of Ding Jiayi, all these troubles were considered nothing.
It was as if Qiao Dongliang was avoiding the god of plague. As soon as Zhai Sheng revealed such an intention, Qiao Dongliang agreed readily without a single moment of hesitation.
In fact, when he was on the flight home with Zhai Sheng, Qiao Dongliang had already made up his mind to borrow a sum of money from Zhai Sheng. Even if he had to rent a house, he would definitely find a place that was located very far away from Ding Jiayi.
If he were to continue to look at Ding Jiayi, he was afraid that at some point, he would not be to control his urge to hack Ding Jiayi dead with a chopper.
“Sigh…” Qiao Nan gave a huge sigh. “Do you remember? The first day I found out that my dad brought everything with him and moved into the small courtyard of the Qiao family, I was extremely upset and angry. I couldn’t help resenting him for he did not remember the lessons he had learned previously. Today, when you told me that he has moved out of the small courtyard as he couldn’t live with Ding Jiayi anymore, I don’t know why but I can’t bring myself to smile at all.”
