Chapter 237 - TRIPLETS AT AGE FIFTEEN

FIFTEEN YEARS LATER☆☆

"Xin'ai, Xing'er, what are you guys still doing inside? I thought I had already prepared everything for the two of you, so what are you girls doing inside when your two brothers are already out?" Lie Ruge, who was waiting for her two daughters, shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Xin'ai, Xing'er, I will not hesitate to go back up there and drag the both of you down. I don't want to arrive late to the party. It is not my problem if you have a crush on my best friend and you both want to look good in front of him, but don't you both waste mum's time because of your sluggishness Ok?" Ziyu shouted at his sisters angrily.

"Sister Xin'ai, sister Xing'er the both of you are already very pretty so there is no need to keep on staring at yourselves in the mirror," Jiu, who was only seven years old, said meekly. No one was sure that his elder sisters heard his words of compliments. Lie Ruge had to wait another three minutes before her pretty girls came out of the Mansion.

"Mum, how do I look? I look very pretty right?" Xin'ai asked, smiling charmingly as she took very careful steps in fear that she might fall due to her high heels and also because she was wearing a red dress that was sweeping the floor. The maids had to help the two girls hold the edges of their dresses because they were very long.

"Yeah. Of course, you and your sister look so unbelievably pretty since you take after me and your dad. It would have been very hard for people to differentiate the two of you because of how pretty and dazzling the both of you look but thank goodness you are not wearing the same colour of dress this time around. I bet your friends are already waiting for you. So let's go or the three of you are going to be late for your fifteenth birthday party," Lie Ruge said smiling at her two girls.

"It's true that they take after you in times of beauty mum, but they are nothing like you. They are always late whenever we go out. They are not confident in themselves. It's so annoying," Ziyu said, pretending to be angry at his sisters, even though he thinks that they look very pretty. He could not resist teasing them for daring to waste his precious time.

"I dare you to say that again," Xin'ai and Xing'er said in unison as they threw their brother a sharp glare.

"I bet Brother Ziyu meant to say that you both look so pretty. You know how he is. He finds it hard to say how he truly feels. You both look so pretty. I bet all the boys at the party will want to court the both of you after today," Jiu said smiling brightly at his sisters while giving them thumbs up.

"You look handsome too Jiu but you are not allowed to have a crush on any girl just yet alright?" Xing'er said playfully.

"Jiu treats Xin'ai the best, that is why I love you so much. You are not like Ziyu who always teases me whenever he gets the slightest opportunity," Xin'ai replied pissed off when she was only pretending. The triplets always tease each other when they get the slightest opportunity but they love each other so much. Anyone who ever picks on any of them always gets a taste of his or her own medicine since they would all take revenge on such a person. Ziyu, in particular, is overprotective of his sisters and even though he always teases them, he loves them so very much. Without wasting further time they all entered the white Limousine and the driver zoomed off. When they got to their destination, the girls stepped out of the car majestically, one after the other, with brilliant smiles on their faces. The reporters who were taking pictures at the entrance of the venue almost mistook the triplets for models.

"You look so pretty girls, don't mind my words earlier or should I say you were always pretty since the day we were all born but you guys look even prettier today," Ziyu said smiling charmingly at his sisters before he offered Xing'er his arm as a real gentleman should.

"You also look handsome or should I say you have always been handsome all your life but you look even more handsome today," Xing'er said smiling too as she held onto his arms while they walked onto the red carpet. Before they arrived, Jin Linxi who was Xin'ai's date, was already waiting for her so they walked onto the red carpet together.

"You look so unbelievably pretty tonight and you see I kept my promise that I will not mistake you for your sister today. I told you that I always keep my words," Jin Linxi said smiling bewitchingly at Xin'ai as they walked on the red carpets. Lie Ruge, who was still waiting inside the car for her husband, stepped out of the car gracefully when she saw her husband approaching their car. She did not forget to hold onto her little Jiu firmly.

"You are breathtakingly pretty today just like that day on your company's 60th-anniversary celebration banquet. You have not aged a bit wifey," Yi Lan said seductively as he accompanied his wife on the red carpets.

"You look very handsome too," Lie Ruge replied smiling. Jiu could not help but smile when he saw his parents flirting with each other.

"Ziyu, you were wrong with your wild guess earlier. I didn't want to look all pretty because of Linxi. The truth is I don't have any feelings for him so why would I want to look good for him?" Xing'er said still maintaining her smiling face since the limelight was on the both of them at the moment.

"If I am wrong then who is the guy you are trying to so good for? Is he someone I know?" Ziyu asked curiously but he did not forget to keep on smiling since so many reporters were taking pictures of them.

"Yes, of course, you know him, he is your friend Yue Qi. I have had a crush on him for a long time but I'm not sure whether he feels the same way for me, I don't even know how to approach him since he is the silent type" Xing'er said in disappointment. She was so glad when the limelight was no longer focused on them but on her sister with her date.

"What?Yue Qi? Are you sure? Is he the same cold Yue Qi we both know? And why won't anyone in his right senses not fall in love with you? You are not only pretty but very intelligent and caring. I am sure that he might feel the same way for you. Don't worry, I can talk to him on your behalf if you are too shy to do so. But even if he doesn't like you shouldn't ever doubt yourself because you deserve the best," Ziyu said affectionately as he patted his sister's back.

"Ziyu treats Xing'er the best. I will not let it get to me even if he does not like me. I am stronger than you think both physically and emotionally but I will always keep brother's words in mind and you don't have to talk to him on my behalf, I can do that. Thank you Ziyu, you are the best," Xing'er said now smiling as she gave her brother a thumbs up.

"Ok, if you say so. But don't forget to tell me if he dares to bully you. I will not hesitate to avenge my pretty sister. Ok," Ziyu said before he left his sister to go and find his friends. The party fully started after the three celebrants arrived. The triplets did not forget to chat with their two godfathers and godmother before they went to sit with their friends. Jiang Xue and Tan Fan were now married with three kids while Yun Yi and Xiao Bai were expecting their third child. The truth was that Jiang Xue, Tan Fan, Yun Yi and Xiao Bai still pampers the triplets so much despite the fact that they now had their own children. They still remembered the joy they felt when they all devoted their time to take care of the kids. Their grandmother and grandfathers also attended the party but they all went home early and left the party for the younger generations to enjoy.

"Hi Yue Qi. I noticed that you have been so hesitant to choose the drinks here, do you have a brand in mind? If you do then feel free to tell me, I will immediately have the waiters bring it to you," Xing'er said out of concerned as she walked up to him.

"It's.... it's ok, my mum warned me not to drink alcohol so I don't know which side is alcohol or non-alcohol. There are no demarcation or signs to indicate it," Yue Qi said shyly as he scratched his head cutely in confusion.

"Hahaha..... is that why you are acting like this? All the drinks here are non-alcoholic so you don't have to worry. My mum and dad made this arrangement since they were scared that we might mistakenly drink alcohol without knowing. A.d.u.l.ts who need alcohol have to tell the waiters and waitresses and then their desired drink will be brought before them within two minutes. Every single drink here is for us teenagers so you don't have to hesitate anymore," Xing'er said laughing at the boy heartily.

"Is what I said funny? And I didn't know that you were talkative, Xing'er," Yue Qi said as he called her name intimately.

"Did I talk too much? Sorry if I annoyed you with the way I spoke. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw you acting all shy. This is my first time seeing you act so adorable and I didn't know that you knew my name. I thought you would have mistaken me for Xin'ai just like everyone has always done," Xing'er said softly.

"You don't have to apologize. I think that you are fun to be with and why on earth would I mistake you for Xin'ai? Of course, I can differentiate both of you even from afar. Oh! My bad! Happy birthday Xing'er, you look so pretty tonight," Yue Qi said smiling charmingly at her for the first time.
