Chapter 1379 It Is None of Your Business Now

Lin Yuankang was especially happy that the triplets and Zhai Sheng couple came to fetch him at the airport. He was all smiles and smug. That look on his face was inviting a beating from others! When he first saw the family of five, he childishly hid and surfaced only when he was behind Qiao Nan, appearing before the triplets and making funny faces at San Bao.

San Bao yelled happily. “Master grandpa! Hug! Hug!”

Lin Yuankang was grinning so widely that one could see his molars. He proudly carried San Bao over.

As soon as San Bao was in Lin Yuankang’s arms, she cried. “Master grandpa, you… you are finally back. San Bao, San Bao missed you so much.”

San Bao looked as if she had seen her next-of-kin. Qiao Nan was so furious that she slapped San Bao’s chubby buttocks. “Little heartless one.” Master spoiled the children badly. He hardly ever scolded them, especially San Bao, as she was the only girl amongst the three children. Master overly indulged her.

San Bao was bearing a grudge against Qiao Nan for chiding her earlier. She, therefore, whined that she missed her master grandpa who would never criticize her.

As soon as San Bao said that, Lin Yuankang smiled like a blooming flower. “Yes, yes, master grandpa missed San Bao, and Da Bao, and Er Bao too. This time, master grandpa brought presents back for the three of you. Master grandpa will play them together with you, okay?”

Having been used to the company of the triplets, Lin Yuankang was not very used to suddenly leaving the country and not smelling the fragrant milk scent on the triplets for a period of time. He almost suffered from insomnia on his first night overseas. He was already so old. If he did not sleep for one night, his body could not be accustomed to it.

The chubby body in his arms had obviously gained weight. It was quite a chore for Lin Yuankang to hold it. However, Lin Yuankang liked this weight and felt that it was very sturdy.

Lin Yuankang pinched San Bao. “San Bao, you have eaten well when master grandpa was not around. You’ve put on weight again.”

San Bao smiled at Lin Yuankang like a little sunflower. She hung on to Lin Yuankang’s neck and did not speak further.

Lin Yuankang kissed San Bao’s forehead. “Alright, why are we blocking the way? Let’s go home. Okay, Da Bao, Er Bao?” Lin Yuankang did not neglect any of the three children. He treated all of them like his grandchildren and doted on them very much.

Da Bao and Er Bao stretched out their bodies. Zhai Sheng stepped forward, and Da Bao and Er Bao each gave Lin Yuankang a kiss on his face in response.

At this moment, Lin Yuankang felt so wonderful that he lost his bearings. “Zhai Sheng, when you returned home the last few times, the triplets didn’t even remember that they have a father. Did you see that? I have been away for two weeks and they still remember their master grandpa.” This was the difference between humans. The triplets still preferred him.

Zhai Sheng quietly punched the buttocks of his two sons but his expression was as calm and composed as ever. “The triplets are older now and their memory is much better than before. Elder Lin, Nan Nan has prepared a feast at home. Are you coming?”

“Yes!”

Why not?

His little disciple had prepared that feast for him. “Nan Nan, I’ve been too busy recently and didn’t contact your senior brother. Did he let others bully you in his territory?”

With nothing in her hands, Qiao Nan felt more relaxed. “It is not a very big issue. Master, you don’t need to worry about me. If I really encounter any trouble, I will also think of ways to resolve it.” Qiao Nan did not mention much about Deng Wenchang’s existence. However, out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Peng Yu, who had been following behind Lin Yuankang with a darkened face and looking as stiff as a rock.

It was only until this moment that Qiao Nan met the legendary Peng Yu for the first time.

Qiao Nan had read Peng Yu’s second-hand books before. From the books and the notes in them, Qiao Nan had always thought that Peng Yu was a thin and lean, fine and cultured youth that wore white shirts and was as tall and straight as a poplar tree.

However, from today’s meeting, Qiao Nan felt that she had been overthinking. She had been too poetic in her imagination of Peng Yu. This was someone who crawled and rolled about in the army camp. How could he be a cultured youth who wore white shirts?

When she looked at Peng Yu now, he was certainly quite thin and looked different from the soldiers that Qiao Nan had interacted with before. She had seen Zhou Jun. He had a much bigger built than Peng Yu. When Zhou Jun was clothed, Qiao Nan could still sense the obvious and lean muscles on him.

It was different for Peng Yu.

Peng Yu gave people the feeling that he was thin and lean. If he were to stand there without moving, Qiao Nan would feel that he was very thin and this set of clothing was too big for him. However, when Peng Yu moved, the clothing would reveal Peng Yu’s figure from time to time. Naturally, Qiao Nan discovered that the flesh on Peng Yu had almost filled the clothing.

Qiao Nan would glance at Peng Yu at this moment because Deng Wenchang was in Peng Yu’s ‘clan’.

When her master brought up the situation in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she did not believe that Peng Yu would not be concerned.

In fact, Peng Yu’s ears had stood up and he was listening intently for Qiao Nan’s reply.

During this period of time whereby he had to leave the country to protect Lin Yuankang, Peng Yu felt aggrieved. For the time being, he could not focus on dealing with Zhai Sheng. In addition, the subject of protection was the master of Zhai Sheng’s wife. At the thought of the relationship between Lin Yuankang, He Yi, and Qiao Nan, Peng Yu was having a headache.

Obviously, except for Deng Wenchang, these three people had formed a human network that Deng Wenchang could not get into.

Zhai Sheng was certainly very capable. He casually married a wife and she was so formidable. That said, it was not a casual affair at all for Zhai Sheng to marry Qiao Nan.

At this moment, Lin Yuankang seemed to have recalled Peng Yu’s existence. He halted and looked at Peng Yu. “Comrade Xiao Peng, we have already arrived in the country. Zhai Sheng has also come to fetch me. If there is nothing else, you can go back and report to your boss. I won’t delay your time any further. There is just a little distance to home. There certainly won’t be any problem.”

Peng Yu felt like leaving. However, he had almost completed his mission and was only a step to the finishing line. He did not want his half a month’s effort to go to waste due to a small mishap. “Elder Lin, there is no hurry. Furthermore, you brought home a lot of things. I don’t feel assured if I don’t send you back personally.”

What if Lin Yuankang were to simply complain to his boss after he left for the Peng family’s residence now? What should he do then?

Although he had not been protecting Lin Yuankang for a long time, the problem was… Peng Yu had suffered similar ‘traps’ under Lin Yuankang more than once. He felt remorseful that his careful and reliable reputation had been stained.
