Chapter 896: The Kids Are in Charge 1

"I'm going to spank you all, I'm really going to spank you!"

It was just a threat; Wan'er couldn't bear to actually hit the children.

"Daddy!" Taotao had the loudest voice, and she simply shouted it out.

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

Once one child started shouting, the other two immediately joined in; it was easy to stop one, but impossible to stop all three shouting together.

She could cover one, but couldn't cover the others.

Wan'er was flustered, but there was nothing she could do.

In the courtyard.

Jian Yining heard his daughters calling him and rushed into the house.

"Daddy."

"Daddy."

"Daddy."

The three little ones had sharp ears; hearing the footsteps, they knew their father had returned and immediately ran outside.

"Youyou, Taotao, Mengmeng."

The father and his daughters hugged and wept bitterly; it was one thing for the children to cry, but he, a grown man, was also crying with snot and tears, as if he had suffered some terrible grievance.

"Have you cried enough? Is it fun for you to come here and put on a show?" Wan'er was expressionless.

Jian Yining looked up, both surprised and delighted: "Wife, wife, are you finally willing to talk to me? Thank you, thank you, thank you for being willing to pay attention to me."

Wan'er said coldly: "Jian Xiansheng, please mind your wording. I am not your wife; in the eyes of the law, you and I no longer have any relationship."

"I'm sorry..."

He looked sheepish, not knowing how to continue the conversation!

Call her "Ms. Jin"?

Too distant.

Call her "Wan'er"?

He would definitely be scolded again.

It didn't matter; even if he were scolded, he had to be thick-skinned and call her that.

"Wan'er, I miss the children, I miss you. Can you let me play with the Baobao for a while?"

Wan'er's face still showed no expression, and her tone was strictly business: "Of course you can. You are the children's father; seeing the children every weekend is your right."

After she finished speaking, she grabbed her coat and walked out, instructing the servant: "Sister Li, I'm going out shopping. Call me when that person leaves, and I'll come back."

Jian Yining:...

This was clearly avoiding him.

"Wan'er, do you hate me that much? You don't even want to be under the same roof as me?"

She ignored him and walked out gracefully.

The shopping mall.

Shi Youxuan and Jian Yixin met up with Wan'er at the mall entrance.

The two women gave her a thumbs up and praised: "You did the right thing. You have to make him suffer a little to teach him a lesson."

The reason she could harden her heart and not forgive him immediately was because she had these two women behind her, especially the support and encouragement of her sister Shi Youxuan.

Wan'er looked reluctant: "He has never taken care of the children before. Each of the three Niuniu can be as naughty as two boys. If he really manages to spend the afternoon with them, he'll be exhausted."

Shi Youxuan: "Feeling sorry for him?"

She thought about it, then nodded.

She truly did feel sorry for him.

Because of deep love, it was hard to be as rational and calm as a bystander.

Being able to remain expressionless before leaving the house was already Wan'er's limit!

Jian Yixin took the side of reason rather than family, saying the same thing as Shi Youxuan: "Wan'er, you must not be foolish about this matter. You must listen to us. How well you handle this time directly relates to your happiness for the rest of your life."

"If you forgive him too quickly this time, he won't cherish you even more in the future. Men are all cheap; you can't be too good to him. If it's too easy to get, he won't cherish it."

Shi Youxuan nodded: "Right."

Wan'er's wavering heart became firm again: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The three women had a great time playing outside.

Shopping and buying things crazily.

When hungry, they went to eat delicious food.

After eating their fill, they went to a beauty salon for treatments, manicures, and hair styling.

Jian Yixin touched the ends of Wan'er's hair, which were split, and asked: "How long has it been since you had your hair treated? Usually, it's just your husband and daughters, and you can't take care of anything else. Now that it's finally a relaxing day, let's get a treatment together."

Wan'er refused: "You guys go ahead, I won't do it."

Hair treatments took too long, and she was worried Jian Yining couldn't handle the three little ones.

Before leaving, she had quietly instructed the servant to call her if the children cried or made a fuss.

Although no call had come yet, it had already been several hours, and she was becoming increasingly anxious!

Wan'er kept checking her watch, unable to stop talking about the children.

"I wonder how they are doing at home?"

"I've taken care of the Niuniu since they were born; A Ning has never taken care of them. Can he handle it well?"

"I want to go back and take a look..."

If it weren't for the two of them stopping her, she would have already run back.

"You are not allowed to go. Didn't the servant call you? What do you have to worry about? Since they haven't called for such a long time, it means there is nothing wrong."

"Right, your heart is just too soft; no wonder you always end up at a disadvantage. This time you must listen to us and finish getting your hair done in peace."

Home.

It was just as Wan'er had imagined—everything was in a complete mess, as if the house had been robbed.

Jian Yining felt like dying right now.

The thing he regretted most now was that he shouldn't have let the servants and nannies all go home!

Originally, he had thought, how hard could it be to take care of the children?

Wan'er had taken care of them for several years without ever complaining of hardship or fatigue; if Wan'er could do it, so could he.

He had let Li Sao and the others all go home so he could take care of the children himself, intending to present a perfect report card when Wan'er returned.

But when the house was truly left with only the father and his three daughters, he finally realized how formidable the combat power of the three little ones was!

This job is not easy to do!

The little girls were not a bit less mischievous than boys; it seemed they were even worse.

The three little ones didn't have a single second of downtime; as soon as he put one down, there was another. The three of them had six little hands, while he only had two; even keeping his eyes wide open and staring at them wasn't enough.

Toys were thrown all over the floor, and Jian Yining followed behind to tidy up, but he couldn't keep up at all.

Just as he finished organizing, he would turn around and see them thrown everywhere again!

He had originally wanted Wan'er to come home to a clean and tidy house, but less than half an hour later, he was so exhausted he collapsed on the sofa, not wanting to do anything.

Forget it, whatever.

If he continued like this, he would surely be exhausted to the point of fainting.

"Daddy, I'm hungry."

"Daddy, I'm hungry too."

"Daddy, I'm hungry too."

"Alright, Daddy is going to cook for you. What do you want to eat?"

Youyou: "Eat dumplings!"

Taotao: "We want to eat ones we make ourselves, not the ones sold outside."

Mengmeng: "Mm."

Jian Yining had never made dumplings before, but he thought it wouldn't be difficult and readily agreed: "Alright, you guys wait obediently, Daddy is going to make dumplings for you."

"My precious daughters want to eat dumplings, I must satisfy them; how hard could that be..."

He thought it was quite easy.

But as soon as he started, he realized that there was a difference between imagination and actual practice, and the difference was quite large.

To make dumplings, one must first knead the dough; just finding the flour took him quite a while.

He usually only ate ready-made meals at home and never needed to enter the kitchen, so he didn't even know where the rice, flour, grain, and oil were kept.

Once the flour was found, he began to knead the dough.

There was too much water, and the flour was all stuck to his hands.

The children shouted from the living room: "Daddy, are the dumplings ready yet?"

"So hungry."

"Baobao wants to eat food."
