Chapter 959: Chapter 947: It’s Over, We’ve Been Exposed
Seeing Qiao Jing simultaneously taking the pulse of Zhan Qiaoyu and Zhan Qiaomo, the people present showed varying degrees of surprise on their faces.
Zhan Nanjing couldn’t help but exclaim, "Is that possible? That’s amazing!"
Su Manhan glanced at her and reminded, "Keep your voice down, don’t make a fuss, don’t disturb Third Miss Qiao."
Zhan Nanjing immediately gave an embarrassed smile and shut her mouth.
At this moment, Zhan Qiaoyu and Zhan Qiaomo were looking at Qiao Jing with big sparkling eyes, feeling quite delighted.
Aunt Jing took their pulse!
Even Zebao never got this treatment; they could boast about it later!!
Zhan Qipei, standing nearby, keenly noticed that his two sons seemed quite fond of Third Miss Qiao.
It’s known that his sons rarely got close to anyone like this.
For some reason, he found it a bit odd.
But he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
Could it be that Third Miss Qiao is naturally more likeable to children?
While Zhan Qipei was pondering, Qiao Jing finished taking the pulse of the two little ones.
Seeing her retract her hand, Zhan Nanjing hurriedly asked, "How is it? Are the little ones seriously ill? Do they need medication or injections?"
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing thoughtfully looked at the two little ones, hesitated for a moment, and then truthfully said, "Based on their pulse, they’re not sick, and their physical constitution is actually better than that of their peers."
As soon as she said this, everyone turned their gaze back to the two little ones.
Zhan Qiaoyu and Zhan Qiaomo exchanged glances, both secretly saying "Oh no" in their hearts.
Previously, they were focused on having Aunt Jing take their pulse, but they forgot that doing so would reveal their feigned illness!
In a panic, Zhan Qiaoyu’s little mind quickly came up with something, and he earnestly made up a story, "Maybe we didn’t sleep well last night, so we felt a little dizzy and thought it was a cold."
After all, they were just kids; how could kids distinguish so clearly? Even if they mistakenly thought they had a cold, it wouldn’t be odd!
Hearing his big brother’s words, Zhan Qiaomo immediately nodded like a pecking chick, repeatedly agreeing, "Yes, yes, we probably didn’t sleep well, got dizzy, so we thought we caught a cold!"
Confirming that the little ones weren’t ill, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief and didn’t delve further.
When Su Manhan later called the little ones to eat, both of them said they had no appetite and didn’t want to eat now.
Zhan Nanjing waved her hand and said, "Forget it. If they don’t want to eat, let them be. Maybe they’re not hungry yet. When they get hungry, they’ll eat naturally."
"Alright then, let’s eat first; otherwise, the food will get cold."
After saying this, Su Manhan invited the others to start eating.
During the meal, Qiao Jing noticed the two little ones beside her were sneakily watching her without blinking.
Their cute little faces reminded her of the little one at her home.
For some reason, these two little ones gave her a very close feeling as well...
After the meal, when Zhan Yuanshan went back to his room to rest, Qiao Jing planned to leave.
However, as soon as she stood up, Zhan Qiaoyu and Zhan Qiaomo dashed over, pulling her hands from both sides.
Their actions instantly caught the attention of Zhan Nanjing and the others.
Zhan Nanjing looked at them suspiciously, "What sly mischief are you two up to again?"
Zhan Qiaoyu blinked his round, innocent eyes and said, "Nothing, we just want to show Auntie Qiao around the house."
Zhan Qiaomo immediately chimed in, "Yeah, yeah! We’ll show Auntie Qiao around!"
With that said, the two little ones directly took Qiao Jing to look around.
Faced with these adorable kids, Qiao Jing couldn’t refuse.
But after the tour, the two little ones still didn’t intend to let her leave, instead clinging to her to tell stories and sing songs.
Seeing them act like this, Qiao Jing couldn’t help but think of the little one at her home again.
She raised her hand to pat their little heads and smiled, "I also have a little boy at home, about the same age as you, who loves to have me tell him stories."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Qiaoyu and Zhan Qiaomo exchanged a knowing glance.
The little friend Aunt Jing mentioned was them!
The three of them all had Aunt Jing tell them stories!
The scene of the two little ones clinging to Qiao Jing looked warm and beautiful but also confused Zhan Nanjing and the others a bit.
Because while these three kids at home were open and not shy, they didn’t like being close to outsiders.
Therefore, their current behavior was quite unusual!
As the saying goes, anomalies indicate something amiss!
It’s unclear what kind of mischief these two little ones were plotting...
Suddenly, Zhan Nanjing recalled something, and she withdrew her gaze from Qiao Jing and the two little ones a few steps away, then turned to look at Su Manhan and Zhan Yao beside her.
"Speaking of which, isn’t Zebao also supposed to return from the camping trip? It was said to be a fortnight, so why hasn’t he returned yet?"
Hearing Zhan Nanjing’s words, Zhan Yao replied, "There’s no need to worry about that. Our three kids are cleverer and more mature than kids their age. Nothing will happen to them."
"Moreover, when we were about to call the teachers to inquire about the camping situation, Yubao and Mo Bao both said that Zebao didn’t like us meddling too much, claiming he’s a big kid now and finds it embarrassing to have the family worried."
Su Manhan didn’t quite agree with Zhan Yao’s opinion and said, a bit uneasily, "Even so, no matter how clever Zebao is, he’s just a four-year-old child. I’ll still call the camping teacher for an update."
"Later, I’ll inform the teacher not to mention this to Zebao so that he doesn’t find out."
Zhan Yao nodded, "That’s fine, you can call."
Su Manhan immediately took out her phone and dialed a number.
At this moment, Zhan Qiaoyu and Zhan Qiaomo were listening to Qiao Jing tell the story of the three little pigs.
Though they had heard it many times before, the two little ones were still listening intently, completely oblivious to what was happening on the couch area.
Once the call connected, Su Manhan straightforwardly said, "Hello, teacher, I’m Zhan Qiaoze’s grandmother. I’d like to ask, the camping is for two weeks, right? Now that two weeks have passed, why hasn’t Zebao returned?"
"Zhan Qiaoze?"
A slightly puzzled voice came from the teacher on the other end, "The little friend Zhan Qiaoze didn’t attend the camping trip."
"What? Zebao didn’t go camping?!"
Su Manhan’s tone suddenly rose, her face instantly full of astonishment.
In an instant, everyone present turned their attention to Su Manhan.
Zhan Qiaoyu and Zhan Qiaomo also immediately realized the gravity of the situation.
This was bad!
The truth was out!!
