Chapter 1627 - 1628: Three Little Beauties

"Ah, ah, ah, our three little beauties, come let mommy hold you." An Jing stood by the cradle, full of smiles, and embraced each of her three two-month-old babies one by one.

The three babies were truly very good-looking, and each had their own distinctive features, not resembling each other at all.

Xiao Changyi sat by the cradle watching, gently rocking it. His three sons loved staying in the cradle, and whenever it rocked, they would happily grin and smile at them.

"Husband, do you think it’s because I kept wishing for a daughter every day before, that heaven let our three babies be so beautiful?" After holding the three babies, An Jing sat on the stool next to Xiao Changyi, gently rocking the cradle together with him.

Xiao Changyi replied, "Because their mother is you."

An Jing immediately chuckled, "Although I love hearing what you’re saying, the babies don’t look like me at all. Honestly, I gave birth to them, but why don’t they resemble me? They at least look a bit like you; look at their noses, they really look like yours."

The nose of these three kids was the only feature that resembled Xiao Changyi; no other part did.

Xiao Changyi said nothing but gently held one of her hands.

An Jing gave Xiao Changyi a huge smile, looked at her four children, and said, "At this rate, our three sons will definitely grow up to be handsome men. They might even be more beautiful than Meng Lanqing, don’t you think?"

Xiao Changyi frowned.

"What’s wrong, husband?"

"I’m a bit worried."

"Worried about what?"

"Worried that they might care about their looks." Meng Lanqing was quite concerned about being so good-looking; he felt he wasn’t manly and was teased for looking like a woman.

"Really...?" An Jing then realized this problem. After a long pause, she optimistically said, "No worries, we’ll teach the kids well, that appearance is natural. It’s not their fault they’re good-looking. If we tell them not to mind it from a young age, they probably won’t care about being so handsome."

Xiao Changyi nodded in agreement, "Mm."

"Brother Yi, Sister-in-law." Suddenly, Su Chengyu’s voice rang out, and soon his figure appeared in their sight.

Seeing Su Chengyu, An Jing immediately smiled and asked, "Why have you come by today? Don’t you need to review memorials?"

"Of course, I have to review them, but I can do that later. I wanted to first share some good news with you." Su Chengyu walked over to the cradle, played with the three little ones for a bit, then grabbed a stool and sat by the cradle too.

An Jing said, "You look so cheerful that even without you telling me, I can tell it’s good news. So, what’s the good news?"

Su Chengyu promptly said, "Dongqing has withdrawn troops! I just received an urgent report from 800 li away. Qi Tengfei mentioned in the letter that Dongqing tried to attack the city again but, realizing they couldn’t take it, withdrew the troops."

An Jing and Xiao Changyi exchanged a doubtful glance, then asked, "Weren’t there people from Slayer Tower helping them? Why did they retreat so easily? I was initially worried that they might capture the city and need you to go, Brother Yi."

"I initially thought Brother Yi would go to battle too, but Dongqing no longer has Slayer Tower’s help."

"Why did they suddenly lose Slayer Tower’s help?" An Jing was even more puzzled.
