Wen Qiao glanced at the children playing in the distance and said softly, "Look, those three are really well-behaved. Especially our little Sanbao, he was almost bullied by Huo's sister-in-law's nephew just now, luckily Huo Yan stopped him."
"Which kid is bullying my daughter? I'll teach him a lesson."
Shen Jichuan was never the kind of man who was particularly immature; after all, his age was a factor.
But when it comes to his daughter, he becomes very serious and impulsive.
Wen Qiao stopped Shen Jichuan and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Huo saw it and scolded the child's mother on the spot. I didn't see my daughter being bullied either. If Huo Yan hadn't intervened, I would have definitely given him a couple of slaps."
Shen Jichuan then laughed.
"I was saying that when Sister-in-law Huo saw me earlier, she kept pulling me aside and talking to me, praising our child for being well-behaved and obedient. So that's what she was waiting for here."
Wen Qiao exchanged a few words with Shen Jichuan.
It was clear that Huo Yan was indeed taking good care of the three little ones.
The children who came were all older than the triplets, but the eldest and second eldest preferred to play with the older children.
Meanwhile, the three little ones sat quietly to the side, watching their older brother play with the two younger brothers.
After speaking with Wen Qiao, Shen Jichuan confirmed that his wife and children were alright before going outside.
Wen Qiao told him not to drink alcohol because of his arm injury.
Shen Jichuan agreed, and just then someone saw him and greeted him.
Sitting in the chair, Wen Qiao was thinking about Yan Minghui's strange behavior. She had considered that Yan Minghui might like Shen Jichuan and want to be the stepmother of her three children.
No one expected that Yan Minghui was the wife he was selecting samples for.
If Wen Qiao really knew Yan Minghui's thoughts, she would definitely leave immediately with the children, her face cold.
How could my precious little daughter be chosen by you?
***
The banquet started at noon and didn't end until after 3 p.m.
Two of the triplets were asleep, so Wen Qiao had to wait for Shen Jichuan inside the house, just as Huo Dongqing arrived.
He looked at Wen Qiao and said, "Second Brother and the others are still talking. Wen Qiao, why don't you take the child to the guest room to rest for a while? I'll call you when it's time to leave."
Seemingly afraid that Wen Qiao might overthink things, Huo Dongqing immediately explained, "It was A Yan who called me, saying that my little brother and little sister were asleep."
“He is very kind. He came to me because he wanted me to prepare a room for you to rest.”
Wen Qiao's guarded look relaxed a little.
However, I still politely declined.
"No need, Dr. Huo. I might need you to tell Ji Chuan that we need to go back early and have his driver come to help."
Huo Dongqing said, "We are friends, there's no need to be so polite."
Wen Qiao smiled and said, "Friends should be polite to each other so that their friendship can last."
As soon as Wen Qiao finished speaking to Huo Dongqing, she looked up and saw Shen Jichuan walking towards her from not far from the door.
She raised her eyes and smiled, calling out, "Ji Chuan, over here, hurry up! Two of the three children are asleep, and I've been waiting for you."
"Sorry, I need to talk to a few comrades." Shen Jichuan walked over with steady steps, taking the sleeping Da Bao with one hand. "We'll go back now."
"Holly, give Erbao a hug."
Huo Dongqing was used as a tool, yet he couldn't refuse.
Wen Qiao looked at Huo Dongqing and said softly, "Thank you for your help, Dr. Huo."
"You're welcome," Huo Dongqing said somberly.
The feeling of offering help is definitely different from being ordered around to do chores.
