Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

Qi Qingyao rolled her eyes at Jiang Yeqian, then turned around and crouched down to the boy's eye level, asking with a smile, "How old are you, beauty?"

"Eighteen." The boy's gaze had a hint of shyness, and he pressed his lips together.

"Just in time to get married!" Qi Qingyao said while patting the boy on the shoulder with a troubled expression, then continued in a forthright tone, "But I don't need you to repay me with your body; I'm a decent person. Although I saved you, all you need to do is repay me with some money! A decent person like me will never let you do something like repaying me with your body."

The boy said with tears in his eyes, "I'm not talking about that kind of repayment; I'm talking about the other kind."

"Which kind?" Qi Qingyao was puzzled. Was there any other meaning to repaying with the body? Was she that ignorant?

The boy lowered his gaze as his eyes reddened, and he began to speak slowly, "I was a court official's son, but after my family's financial situation declined, I was sold to another family to become their servant. I recently escaped, but I somehow got lost in the mountains and chased by a wild boar. Now that you saved me, I'd like to ask you to take me in and let me work in your house. All I need is a bit of food."

"..."

Qi Qingyao's mind went blank in that instant.

Was she lucky?

Or was she unlucky?

Meeting such a gorgeous boy begging to work for her for just a bit of food was a one-in-a-million chance. It was almost impossible to come across such a low-maintenance plaything a second time.

The sad thing was… she was too poor.

She could not afford to raise so many freeloaders, and besides, there was no more space at home!

Qi Qingyao did not know that while she was deep in thought, Jiang Yeqian was staring at her side profile unconsciously and thinking to himself, 'Beauty this, beauty that; this woman is at a horny age and goes crazy every time she sees a man! How shameless! Now that one has shown up for free, she'll definitely accept him unconditionally!'

Qi Qingyao stroked the boy's face and spoke calmly.

"I'm too poor now, and my house has nothing but bare walls. I really can't keep a pure beauty like you. Now that I've saved you, you should go and find another family to take you in!"

"But…" The boy seemed to have not expected this answer, and his eyes started anxiously brimming with tears.

Qi Qingyao said lightly, "No buts, my child, you're still too young. Don't go around telling people that you'll repay them with your body in the future. You're so beautiful; it'll be terrible if you get sold off to a brothel! Some rich people are very fond of toying with male prostitutes. Since you're still young, if you really want to make money, you can find a job or go to a brokerage house and let the broker recommend some suitable work for you!"

After she had finished speaking, she turned away calmly and walked toward the wild boar.

Jiang Yeqian followed her unhurriedly and whispered to her.

"I thought you'd accept his request."

"Do I look like a fool?" Qi Qingyao rolled her eyes.

"You called him a beauty."

Qi Qingyao muttered, "I just got lucky recently and met two handsome men. Is it wrong to praise beautiful people?"

Jiang Yeqian, "..."

Qi Qingyao shot him a sidelong glance. "Do you think that just because I called him a beauty, I'd take him home graciously and feed him or let him repay me with his body?"

"... Isn't that what you wanted?"

"Hmph! How foolish!"
