Chapter 986: Chapter 974: Xu Mogian Was Almost Moved to Tears
Early the next morning, Qiao Jing had just finished washing up and changing clothes, and walked out of her room
when the doorbell rang.
She instinctively thought it was Xu Mogian, since he mentioned last night that he would cover for a meal
today.
However, when she opened the door, it wasn’t Xu Mogian standing outside, but three little ones.
The three little ones giggled and threw themselves playfully at Qiao Jing.
Seeing the three adorable "little accessories" clinging to her legs, Qiao Jing was a little surprised, but mostly
delighted.
She brought the three little ones inside, led them to sit on the sofa, and then asked, "How did you get here? Did
you sneak out from hagain?"
Zhan Qiaomo shook his little head and promptly replied, "No, it was Grandpa Zeng who had the driver bring us
over."
"Yes, yes." Zhan Qiaoze echoed, then added, "Actually, Grandpa Zeng wanted to ctoo, but he got drowsy
after taking his medicine, so he couldn't make it!"
Zhan Qiaoyu blinked his eyes and pondered for a moment.
Although Aunt Jing said that Grandpa Zeng wasn't feeling well, which is why he mistook Aunt Jing for their
mommy,
they didn’t think so, because they all felt Aunt Jing gave off such a warm feeling, just like mommy!
So, they sided with Grandpa Zeng!
When Grandpa Zeng heard they wanted to visit Aunt Jing, he immediately arranged for a driver to take them and
praised them for being more promising than their dad!
Knowing that the three little ones didn’t sneak out, Qiao Jing felt relieved.
She looked at the three little ones with tender affection and asked softly, "Do you want slollipops? I'll get
them for you."

Zhan Qiaomo was the first to raise his little hand, "I want strawberry flavor!"
Zhan Qiaoze followed closely, "I want blueberry!"
Zhan Qiaoyu thought for a moment and said loudly, "Then | want peach!"
“Alright.”
Qiao Jing responded with a smile and turned to get the candies.
Very soon, she returned with the lollipops.
After giving candies to the three little ones, Qiao Jing patted their little heads and instructed, "You play by
yourselves a bit, Aunt Jing needs to go and cook."
Since she was hosting guests for a meal, she needed to prepare now.
After her instructions, Qiao Jing went to the kitchen to get busy.
The three little ones were swinging their chubby legs on the sofa, discussing in low voices while eating their
candies.
Zhan Qiaoyu reminded his two brothers, "Don’t forget our plan for today; remember to be wary of Uncle Xu
later!"
Zhan Qiaoze raised his little hand and patted his shoulder, "Don’t worry, big brother, with the three of us, we
won't have any trouble dealing with just Uncle Xu!"
Zhan Qiaomo raised his eyebrows confidently, "Yeah, Uncle Xu is no match for us!"
At this moment, the doorbell rang again.
The three little ones exchanged glances and simultaneously hopped off the sofa, dashing to open the door.
This time, it was Xu Mogian.
Seeing the three little ones, Xu Mogian couldn't help but pause in surprise, with doubt etched across his face,
"What are you three doing here?"
The three little ones chorused, "Why ask, of course, we're here to see Aunt Jing!"
"If there’s nothing urgent, hurry back home, kids shouldn't keep going to other people’s houses."
Saying this, Xu Mogian directly lifted Zhan Qiaomo, who was blocking the center, and strode into the house.
Hearing the commotion, Qiao Jing cout of the kitchen.
Seeing Xu Mogian had arrived, she gestured toward the sofa in the living room and said, "I'm just starting to
prepare, sit for a while on your own."
Just as Xu Mogian was about to say something, the three little ones ran over.
Zhan Qiaoze and Zhan Qiaomo grabbed onto Xu Mogian’s pant legs from either side.
Zhan Qiaoyu blocked his way with a cheerful smile, saying, "Aunt Jing, you go ahead, we'll entertain Uncle Xu for
you!"
"Alright, I'll leave it to you, have fun."
With that, Qiao Jing turned back to the kitchen.
She thought to herself, Xu Mogian and the three little ones were old acquaintances anyway, and they should get
along well.
Seeing this, Xu Mogjian tried to follow, but was thwarted by the three little ones who either blocked his way or
clung to his pant legs, not allowing him to move.
He frowned slightly, looked down at the three little ones, "What's with you three? Why are you holding onto me?"
Zhan Qiaoyu blinked innocently and said, "Nothing, we're just helping Aunt Jing entertain you!"
Zhan Qiaoze earnestly echoed, "Yeah, Aunt Jing is busy, don’t bother her."
Zhan Qiaomo tilted his little face up with childlike sincerity, "Uncle Xu, let's just sit on the sofa!"
Xu Mogian felt these three little ones were quite peculiar, not knowing what mischief they were planning.
"You three go play on your own, I'm going to see if Aunt Jing needs help."
Finishing what he said, Xu Mogian moved to physically disentangle the three little ones and push them aside.
However, no sooner had he taken a few steps toward the kitchen, the three little ones chased him down again,
using the stactic to block him.
Xu Mogian rubbed his head in exasperation, "Okay, just what do you three really want?"
The three little ones looked at each other, and finally, big brother Zhan Qiaoyu, as the representative, pointed
his little finger at the sofa, with a serious face said, "Aunt Jing told us to entertain you, we have to listen to Aunt
Jing!"
Xu Mogian’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
He finally understood, Zhan Qipei’s three sons were even harder to deal with than Zhan Qipei himself!!
Under the relentless persistence of the three little ones, Xu Mogian had no choice but to "obediently" sit on the
sofa.
About half an hour later, Qiao Jing cout from the kitchen and placed the freshly prepared dishes on the
dining table, inviting the three little ones and Xu Mogian to ceat.
Sitting down at the dining table, gazing at the array of delicious-looking dishes, Xu Mogian’s gloomy mood finally
lifted.
"Looks delicious, then | won't be polite!"
With that said, Xu Mogian eagerly started to eat.
Qiao Jing served meat and vegetables to the three little ones.
The three little ones were so absorbed in their food that they didn’t bother with Xu Mogian; they immediately
began eating with gusto.
They hadn't tasted Aunt Jing’s homemade food in such a long time!
After a few bites, Xu Mogian couldn’t help but think they were right — Aunt Jing’s cooking indeed tasted better
than a five-star chef's!
But more importantly, it strangely felt very familiar...
Very much like the taste of Qiao Jing’s past cooking!
This familiar flavor caused the floodgates to open for Xu Mogian, his eyes reddening, almost on the verge of
tears.
Qiao Jing, while picking up dishes, keenly noticed the oddity in Xu Mogian.
She asked with sconfusion, "What's wrong? Is it not tasty? Or not to your liking?"
As soon as she said this, the three little ones who were focused on eating raised their small heads sharply, their
big eyes blinking as they stared at Xu Mogian.
As if if Xu Mogian dared to say it wasn’t good, the three of them would take action and give him a proper
"education"!
