Chapter 196: Fei Er Gave Birth

Le Le originally had a determined look, but after being urged by her younger brothers, she had no choice but to agree to take them out.

Then, as soon as the four brothers got down from the dinner table, the triplets had already rushed out the door impatiently. Seeing her brothers gone, Le Le could only shake her head and hurriedly follow.

After leaving the house gate, Le Le hurriedly closed the door and started running to chase after her three younger brothers.

However, the three little lions all had four legs and had gotten a head start, so no matter how Le Le chased, she still lost track of them. Having no choice, she had to ask passersby for help.

Fortunately, this was within the tribe, where every tribe member was especially tolerant of the young ones. They would not dislike the triplets just for being mischievous. So, whenever passersby heard Le Le asking about the triplets' whereabouts, they would smile and give her a clear answer.

For example: "Uncle, may I ask if you've seen my three younger brothers? We just went out to look for Dad, and they vanished!"

Le Le, unable to find her brothers, looked somewhat dejected; upon seeing anyone on the road, she hurried over, hoping to get news of her brothers from the passersby.

The female he called out to happened to be Zhang Fan's former subordinate, Ge Rui Si.

Upon hearing a child call him, Ge Rui Si quickly lowered his head and saw that it was actually the instructor's female child—Le Le.

Thus, after clearly hearing Le Le's question, Ge Rui Si smiled, rubbed her head, and said:

"You're the instructor's female child, Le Le, right? You've grown so big! Hehe… oh! Right! I'm Ge Rui Si, a soldier under your father. Are you looking for your younger brothers? I just saw them heading to the chief's house. I also need to go there—why don't you come with me?"

Le Le heard this and realized that this uncle was actually an acquaintance of her father's, and he truly knew where her brothers had gone!

After figuring this out, Le Le smiled and nodded at Ge Rui Si, saying, "Mm-hmm! Thank you, Uncle Ge Rui Si!"

Seeing that Le Le, though young, was so polite, Ge Rui Si was very pleased.

"Haha! The instructor really does a great job educating! Le Le isn't even one yet, and she's already this polite—amazing!" Ge Rui Si, delighted, directly took Le Le's hand and began walking with her toward the chief's house.

Not long after, Ge Rui Si and Le Le arrived at the chief's house gate. Le Le immediately saw the three little lions standing at the door, afraid to go in. She couldn't help but rub her forehead and said helplessly:

"Yo! You three are quick! Since you're already here, why not go in? Are you afraid Dad will scold you? You chose to come over—why not go in and face Dad?"

Meanwhile, Le Le was lecturing her three younger brothers. At that moment, in the birthing room, Fei Er finally gave birth to a white, chubby female child as she had wished!

Wei Er held the newborn female, gave her a quick wipe, then hurriedly wrapped her tightly in a blanket. At that time, Zhang Fan was also helping in the birthing room, feeding Fei Er after her delivery.

As soon as Di Er finished his own task, he took the newborn baby from Wei Er's arms, walked up to Fei Er, and smiled, saying:

"Fei Er! Look quickly! This is the female you gave birth to—how adorable! Her eyebrows and eyes really resemble yours; she'll surely be a little beauty when she grows up!"

Upon hearing Di Er praise the baby so much, Zhang Fan couldn't help but smile and nod, then gave Fei Er a thoughtful look and said indifferently:

"Mm! She really is a beauty! But she's a bit plump—so her beauty is hidden by all that flesh. If it weren't for Am saying so, I truly wouldn't have noticed that Fei Er is actually a beauty!"

Having just given birth, Fei Er was hit by Zhang Fan's remark, yet she wasn't angry; instead, she gently took her child and said to Zhang Fan, "Fan Fan, I'm saying, you're jealous?"

Being snapped at by Fei Er, Zhang Fan nearly choked on his own saliva. Rolling his eyes, he said calmly, "Why would I be jealous of you? You're overthinking. Look, my Le Le and Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan—these four kids— which one isn't good‑looking?"

Before Zhang Fan's words even finished, Fei Er naturally lifted her clothes and began nursing her baby. Seeing this, Zhang Fan stared blankly, then came to his senses and felt a bit embarrassed.

"Um, Fei Er, you're nursing the baby? I'll step out for a moment—you go ahead and feed." After saying that, Zhang Fan set down his bowl, stood up, and was about to leave when Fei Er grabbed him.

"Don't rush off—I still have a few questions! Have your triplets been weaned? When did that happen?"

Seeing Zhang Fan about to leave, Fei Er quickly reached out and pulled him back, then asked mysteriously:

"How did you even think to ask that!" Saying this, Zhang Fan sat down again and added, "I've thought about it, and I think it was around three months of feeding. I don't remember the exact timing."

Fei Er, seeing Zhang Fan had answered that question, quickly seized the moment and threw out a new question.

"Then Fan Fan, how long after giving birth did you and your Ba Ke Er resume marital relations?"

Upon hearing Fei Er ask so bluntly, Zhang Fan's expression froze instantly. After a few seconds of embarrassment, a faint blush rose on his face.

"Fei Er, you're asking for death! How dare you ask me that! I had a C‑section, you had a natural birth—what's the point of your question? You'd better ask Wu Na and Nuoya; they both had natural births, so they'd surely know."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhang Fan sprang up, picked up the bowl on the table, opened the door, and walked out.

Just as he stepped out and looked up, Zhang Fan saw the three little lions talking with Mo De, and Le Le standing silently beside Ge Rui Si.

At a glance, it was clear these four little rascals had surely fallen out—if they weren't quarreling, they'd never stand apart! It must be wonderful, like…

Unable to help it, Zhang Fan secretly chuckled and gave a light cough twice.

First, he pretended not to notice the children, smiling as he greeted Ge Rui Si and Mo De.

Then, as if suddenly noticing the children, he looked at them with surprise. After sobering his expression, seeing the children look at him, he held his empty bowl and walked over. Putting on a stern face, he looked at the children without a smile and said sternly:

"Children! What's wrong with you? Weren't you supposed to stay home and wait for me to come back? Why are you so disobedient? Every one of you ran out! If you get lost, what can we do?"

Seeing their father appear angry, the four children each instinctively shrank their necks. Then they looked at each other, waiting for someone to speak up.

Watching the children's little movements, Zhang Fan felt even more amused. Knowing that in the tribe the children were absolutely safe, he wasn't really angry—he just wanted to tease them playfully.

"You see, who should speak? You guys figure it out yourselves!"

Having said that, Zhang Fan didn't wait for the children's reaction; he picked up his bowl and headed toward the chief's kitchen.

The children saw their father apparently angry and unwilling to pay attention to them, and suddenly felt flustered. Le Le looked at her brothers' furry faces and said helplessly:

"Is it okay now? Do you realize how serious this is? I told you early on to stay home and behave, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on coming out! Sigh… I'll go talk to Dad myself."

As soon as Le Le finished speaking, her three younger brothers pounced and knocked her to the ground.

"Older brother! Older brother! You're great! Xiao Yuan likes you the most!" The youngest, Le Yuan, unable to contain her excitement, couldn't help but stick out her head and lick her older brother's face.

Meanwhile, Le Yuan couldn't help but rub her head all over Le Le's body. Only Le Yuan was somewhat sensible, merely using her paw to pat Le Le's shoulder lightly and saying:

"Older brother! Thank you so much! Please accept this paw of mine—whenever you need help, whether scaling blades or crossing flames, I, your younger brother, will absolutely not shirk my duty!"

Le Le looked at Le Yuan's furry face, heard his childish voice, and couldn't help but chuckle and laugh.

"Xiao Yuan, you say you're always like a little old man—can't you be a bit lively like your brothers?"

Had she not said that, it would've been fine, but the moment she spoke, Le Yuan attacked her face!

Le Le roughly wiped the saliva off her face, looking disgusted, and said, "Good grief! Xiao Yuan! I didn't mean that—eh, how filthy!"

Who would have thought that Le Le's look of disgust would prompt Le Yuan to adopt an "as I expected" expression, calmly saying, "Older brother, wasn't it you who told me to learn from my brothers? How come you dislike it when I do?"

Upon hearing Le Yuan's words, Le Le rolled her eyes in anger and retorted, "I never told you to imitate Xiao Yuan! His behavior is cute; yours is just creepy—you know that?"

"Oh! I see, is that how it is, Older Brother?" Saying that, Le Yuan lowered his head, imitating Le Yuan's manner, and rubbed against Le Le's body.

That rub almost scraped off all the goosebumps on Le Le's skin!

"My god! Xiao Yuan! Just be yourself! It seems you can't learn from the brothers! It's more normal to just be yourself!" After saying that, Le Le stayed and pushed open the triplets, stood up from the ground.

"All right, I'm going to go tell Dad, you guys wait!" Having said that, Le Le had already walked toward the kitchen.

Just as she reached the doorway, she encountered Zhang Fan coming out of the kitchen.

Zhang Fan saw that it was his eldest son coming over, hurried over, smiled and ruffled his hair, gently asking: "Le Le, have the younger brothers been causing trouble again? Dad knows, it's not your fault, so don't blame yourself! Come on, let's go home! Dad hasn't had breakfast yet!"

When Zhang Fan said he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, Le Le then remembered something important, raised her head and said to Zhang Fan: "Dad, wait a moment!"

As she spoke, Le Le pulled a white cloth bag from her shirt pocket. This cloth bag was very familiar to Zhang Fan, because it was the one they usually used to hold food.

Watching Le Le take out the cloth bag and slowly hand it to him, Zhang Fan felt a warm current surge in his heart, and he lightly laughed as he took the food she handed him, saying:

"What is this, Le Le?"

Le Le looked at her father's gentle face, smiled a little shyly, and said: "This is beef jerky I prepared for you, Dad! Hurry up and eat! You've been hungry all morning!"

"All right! Dad first thanks our family's most thoughtful little Le Le! Dad will eat now!" Saying that, Zhang Fan took out the already-sliced beef jerky from the bag, and at a glance knew it was the portion he had prepared for Le Le that morning.

Because Le Le is a female baby, her teeth aren't as strong as her brothers', so Zhang Fan always prepares her food separately.

"Le Le, isn't this the beef jerky Dad prepared for you? Why haven't you eaten it? Come, let's eat together!" Saying that, Zhang Fan took a few pieces out of the bag, then stuffed the whole bag into Le Le's arms, telling her to eat together.

Le Le received the bag, obediently following Zhang Fan's words, took the beef jerky and began to eat.

Father and son ate the beef jerky all the way until they reached the triplets. Seeing the three little lions standing straight, their legs slightly trembling, Zhang Fan couldn't help but chuckle.

He stepped forward, rubbed each child's head, and gently said: "All right, Dad forgives you for sneaking out, but as for sleeping in separate rooms, I will not compromise! Let's go! Home!"

After saying that, Zhang Fan directly took Le Le's hand, leading the three little lions toward home. At that moment, it was just past nine in the morning on the Beastmen planet, and the sunlight was just right.

The warm sunlight fell upon Zhang Fan and his son, making them look especially radiant.
