Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

Lu Yan did not beat around the bush. "The more the merrier, it'll get rid of the boredom during the journey."

Before Pei Fengtang said anything, Qi Qingyao put an end to the discussion by saying, "There's no need. I don't want to ride the same carriage as Master Lu."

Heir Pei smiled and said, "You heard her. Yaoyao said she doesn't want to ride the same carriage with you. Thus, I offer my apologies, Master Lu." With that, he drew down the carriage curtains.

Leaving Lu Yan alone after being rebuffed.

Jiang Yeqian's expression beneath the mask when he heard Heir Pei call Qi Qingyao "Yaoyao" was as black as a pot bottom.

Soon, the carriages started on their journey.

Si Jin did not like to be alone inside the carriage, so he sat with Jiang Yeqian together on the shaft of the vehicle.

Jiang Yeqian said somewhat exasperatedly,

"Heir Pei definitely likes her."

"Huh? How can you tell?" Si Jin asked disapprovingly.

"He called her Yaoyao again." His tone had become more ridden with anxiety.

"Heir Pei just wants to use her to look for Su Hexiao. He's probably calling her Yaoyao to get closer to her."

He had asked her the same thing at the dining table during breakfast but her reply was that everyone was just using one another. Si Jin felt that it made sense.

"But that's still too intimate." Jiang Yeqian was still as tense as before.

"The lord wouldn't marry a single woman with three children. You're overthinking this," Si Jin said, glossing it over.

"Is that so?" Was he really overthinking?

Si Jin suddenly turned to look at Jiang Yeqian's profile. He looked at the ox-head mask on his face. Since he could not see his expression, he could only judge from his tone of voice. After pondering for a moment, he tilted his head and spoke again.

"Why are you reacting so much to what Heir Pei chooses to call her?"

"I"m not!!" He flatly denied it.

"Don't tell me you started liking her." Si Jin's tone was alert when he said this.

Thankfully, the mask was obscuring his face, concealing his rather flustered expression. Jiang Yeqian objected, "I do not like her!! I'm just worried about what the Lord Heir has up his sleeve. I'm just afraid that she'll be the one to suffer. In any case, while we appear to have a master and servant relationship, I actually do consider her my friend. Is it wrong for me to be worried about a friend?"

"That's true." There was nothing wrong with being worried for a friend.

"Besides, just as you said, who would take a fancy on a single woman with three children!" It was not as if they were not right in the head!

"That's true." Si Jin nodded seriously.

"I'm such a talented person. I could take any woman of my choosing if I so wanted to. To suspect that I would like her is an utter joke!" If the dignified Head Grand Secretariat wanted to, all the women in the world would be sent to him with a wave of his hand!

After hearing all he had to say, Si Jin once again thought that everything made perfect sense. He turned to him and said, "While I did suspect you, I'm not quite happy with what you said about my sister." His gaze was sincere as he continued, "Sister is so brilliant, it's normal for people to like her! So what if she has three kids? The kids are so cute! I'll strive to marry her in the future and become her boy toy."

"..."

Jiang Yeqian pulled the reins subconsciously and tilted the carriage to the side.

Si Jin got so frightened that he grabbed his arm and yelped, "Drive properly, hey!"

Jiang Yeqian gulped. With a hoarse voice, he asked insipidly, "You said… you're going to be... be what?"

"Her boy toy." Si Jin did not think there was anything wrong with what he said.

Jiang Yeqian pretended to be calm and asked, "Why not her husband?"

Si Jin dumbly said, "She has said before that she does not want a husband. That she wants to be a rich old lady! So my goal in life is naturally to be her boy toy."

"Your ambition... is truly, truly up there." The corner of Jiang Yeqian's mouth was twitching.

He was trying very hard to calm himself and accept Si Jin's exotic way of thinking before speaking again.

"You're very skilled. Have you never thought about going elsewhere to become a bodyguard?"

Si Jin responded seriously, "I'm now Sister's personal guard. Not to mention, she gives me food, a place to sleep, and clothes to wear! The benefits she gives me already are excellent. "

Jiang Yeqian said, "The benefits she gives are not bad…"

"What about you?" The corners of Si Jin's mouth hooked into a cute smile as he asked, "What are you going to do in the future after you leave Sister?"

Jiang Yeqian, "..."

When he left her?

He had left once before…

Yet why did he come back?

Jiang Yeqian was suddenly doubtful about his own motives.

'Oh, that's right.'

His motive was to look for the connection between her and the Master Architect Li Qinglian and Su Hexiao.

It was just that...and that only!!

There was definitely no other reason!!!
