Chapter 1477 - Elder Lin Was Here (1/2)

Until now, Elder Lin had not yet appeared in the Zhai family. It was unusual for the neighbor not to be the earliest among the rest to come over and celebrate the triplets’ birthday.

Early this morning, the triplets had already stretched out their necks and looked at the door from time to time or raised their ears to hear if there was any movement next door.

Every time the three children heard a commotion but weren’t sure where the sound came from, they widened their eyes and looked toward the door with eyes full of hope. However, they were left disappointed every time. Until now, Elder Lin had not knocked on the Zhai family’s door.

“Da Bao didn’t sleep, then what about you? You didn’t sleep well as well?” How would Zhai Hua not have noticed Qiao Nan’s strange look? “I feel that you look worse than Da Bao. The arrangement for this birthday party isn’t that complicated. Furthermore, there’s Mom and auntie to help you. You shouldn’t have been handling everything alone, thus tiring yourself out. Or are you tired because Zhai Sheng was not sensible enough?”

Everyone was part of a couple who were madly in love. Zhai Hua led a very sweet life. She felt that Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng must be the same as well.

In the past, Zhai Hua had seen clearly how much Zhai Sheng, her brother, yearned for Qiao Nan. Now, their relations.h.i.+p shouldn’t be worse off than before. After all, although they had been married for seven years now, the way they interacted clearly showed that they were still in the stage of love.

When Zhai Hua said this, she meant it as a dirty joke. It was a pity that Qiao Nan didn’t cooperate and couldn’t smile. “Nothing. Don’t think too much. My workload has been heavier recently, so I’m more tired. I was also busy preparing for the triplets’ birthday. I’m fine. I’ll recover after resting for a few days.”

“Oh, right, where’s your master? Today’s the triplets’ birthday. I thought he would be the first to reach. So many people have arrived but he hasn’t yet. How rare.” Zhai Hua had to touch the tender spot. She said it herself that Lin Yuankang would be more nervous about and value the triplets more than anyone else.

Something was definitely wrong since Lin Yuankang hadn’t arrived. Wasn’t she trying to stir up trouble by mentioning this at this moment?

Indeed, San Bao, who had been pampered by Lin Yuankang since she was young, couldn’t hold back any longer. Her lips twitched, her eyes became red, and she sniffed. “Mom, it’s our birthdays today. Isn’t master grandpa coming?”

Lin Yuankang had already spoiled San Bao since she started drinking milk. She was never once ignored by Lin Yuankang. This time around, San Bao felt that she was one of the most pitiful children to have celebrated her birthday. “Mom, I want to see master grandpa.”

Er Bao frowned. “Mom, is it because master grandpa is old and his legs are weak, thus he couldn’t come over? Why don’t we do this? Let’s go next door and cut the cake at master grandpa’s house, shall we?”

Er Bao knew that one’s legs would become weaker as one grew older. Not to mention others, Old Master Zhai’s walking speed was obviously much slower than before.
