Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2179: All Alike

“Forty days is fine too.” Zhai Sheng naturally had some understanding of this, so he felt that it wouldn’t be too short for Qiao Nan to have a confinement period of forty days.

“Alright.” Since the couple wasn’t willing for Qiao Nan to go through two months of confinement, Miao Jing relented since she already had her grandchildren. “Nan Nan, you haven’t seen the triplets, right? The nurse will bring them over soon. From today on, we’ll definitely nourish all four of you well so that you’ll all gain some weight!”

Miao Jing had only one thought in her mind, and that was to feed them well. She had set her mind to fattening all four of them up, especially the three children. If the three children weren’t fat in their infancy, when else would they get fat?

“Alright.” At the mention of her children, Qiao Nan’s eyes twinkled. If possible, she wanted to meet them right now, hug them, and kiss them. She had waited a long time for this day to come. It hadn’t been easy either.

After waking up from her dream, apart from missing her husband, Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan felt pangs of pain every time she thought about the triplets. That was a mom’s heart. Staying apart from Zhai Sheng was already painful enough, but thinking about how she might never have the fate to meet her intelligent and outstanding children again in this lifetime, Qiao Nan felt as though she was going to die when she had first awoken.

If not for that broken heart, Qiao Nan would never have traveled all the way to Qingshui Town in a bid to heal her wounds.

Thankfully, everything had gone well, and their family of five had finally reunited!

Just as they finished their conversation, the nurse entered with the three children. “Congratulations. Take a look at your three babies. Would you like to carry the elder brothers or the younger sister first?”

“Give me the younger sister first.” Qiao Nan chose San Bao without any hesitation. As she carried the small and tender San Bao in her arms, tears welled up in Qiao Nan’s eyes. Her San Bao… Her princess was finally back. “Mom, shall we give the three children nicknames of Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao?” Since they were still her same three children, Qiao Nan had no intention of changing their nicknames.

“Alright, alright. That sounds good. Aren’t these three babies our family’s most precious three babies? There aren’t any other nicknames that are more affectionate!” Miao Jing dared not rebuke Qiao Nan, and she even called out the children’s nicknames affectionately. “Do you and Zhai Sheng have any ideas for the children’s official names?”

Old Zhai had been flipping through the dictionary since the previous day, pondering over the names of the three children. But Qiao Nan had been the one to give birth to them, after all. If Qiao Nan had already named the children, Old Zhai would have no chance of using those names he had picked out.

As she landed a tender kiss on her daughter’s forehead, San Bao moved slightly in her sleep, seeming to know that she was in her mother’s embrace. She slept especially peacefully, with no signs of waking up. Qiao Nan looked up toward Zhai Sheng. “Brother Zhai, how about you?”

In her dream, her father-in-law had given her three children their names, and she had been rather pleased with them. In this lifetime, she was willing to hand this important task to her father-in-law once again.

“Anything’s fine.” Zhai Sheng stroked San Bao’s head through a cloth. He knew that the children were still young and could not be touched. He was also afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control his strength and would cause discomfort to the children. Zhai Sheng dared not carry his children, much less touch them. When the nurse had tried to hand him Da Bao, Zhai Sheng had simply moved away for Miao Jing to take over.

As such, only Er Bao was left in the nurse’s arms. After giving it some thought, she decided to place Er Bao on Qiao Nan’s bed so that he would be close to his mother. Otherwise, both the eldest brother and younger sister were being carried while he would be the only one in an outsider’s arms. How aggrieved he would feel!

They were all her children, and Qiao Nan loved them all the same. Once Er Bao was placed by her side, Qiao Nan decided to place San Bao down as well to let the siblings lie beside each other. Qiao Nan gazed at them, stroking them, feeling as though she didn’t have enough hands to do what she wanted. “Brother Zhai, our three children have grown so well!”

“…” Zhai Sheng remained silent for a moment, his gaze as confused as Zhai Yaohui’s the previous day. Over the night, all that had been done was clean the children up slightly. They were still as red and wrinkly. Zhai Sheng dared not get close to those tiny babies. Zhai Sheng had no idea what Qiao Nan was talking about. Their three children looked exactly like tiny animal cubs. How had they grown well?

From an emotional standpoint, it was obvious that one’s own children would always be the best in the world. But after being scared by Qiao Nan’s near-death encounter, Zhai Sheng felt that he was still unqualified as a good father, and that logic still ruled over him. If not for how Qiao Nan and Miao Jing were full of praise and flattery for the three children, Zhai Sheng would probably have asked which part of the children actually looked good.

Having two sons and a daughter was not bad indeed.

A man couldn’t depend on his looks, especially one from the Zhai family. He would have to rely on his own strength. So, it wouldn’t really matter even if he was really ugly. As for his only princess, it wouldn’t matter if she wasn’t especially pretty either since her two elder brothers would take care of her.

Besides, there was also their aunt, Zhai Hua, as an example. Zhai Hua had had poor judgment and had gotten married, missing out on Tian Dong. Zhai Sheng believed that his daughter with Qiao Nan would never be worse off than Zhai Hua. At the very least, San Bao should at least meet a man comparable to Tian Dong.

With him around, he would never let San Bao commit the same mistake as Zhai Hua. He would never let her give up a good man only to marry a bastard and get so hurt in the process.

“They look pretty good. Like you… Like me…” Knowing that women cared most about appearances, Zhai Sheng had intended to praise the three children. That was why he said that they resembled Qiao Nan. The problem was that the children did not look good at all at the moment, and Zhai Sheng was afraid that Qiao Nan would get mad at him for saying that they resembled her.

What he meant was that the children’s good features came from Qiao Nan, while their uglier ones were his problem.

Thankfully, no one else knew Zhai Sheng’s true thoughts. They simply thought that Zhai Sheng was too emotional as a first-time father, so his speech was a little strange. In Qiao Nan’s and Miao Jing’s eyes, Zhai Sheng’s words meant that the three children looked good because they resembled both Qiao Nan and their father.
