With that, Li Xiwu was about to get up. The obedient and silent Yaoyao suddenlv asked her. âWill vou reallv come tomorrow?â Li Xiwu stopped in her tracks and looked at Yaoyao. Yaoyao did not avoid her gaze. He asked again what he had just said, his tone even more persistent than before. âWill you really come again tomorrow?â After asking, Yaoyao patiently waited for Li Xiwuâs answer. Anticipation flashed across his eyes.
Li Xiwu felt a lump in her throat. She told herself to calm down. She took a deep breath to calm herself down and nodded at Yaoyao. âI will. I will definitely come tomorrow.â
Yaoyao did not show a trace of joy when he heard Li Xiwuâs answer. He carefully hid his emotions. âOh,â he said and didnât say anything else. Li Xiwu gently waved at Yaoyao. âBye, Yaoyao. Iâm going back.â
Yaoyao nodded slowly.
Li Xiwu stopped waving and reached out to Yaoyao. She cupped her hands around Yaoyaoâs cheek. âThen Iâll see you tomorrow, okay?â
Yaoyao still nodded slowly. Even though Yaoyao did not speak, Li Xiwu was still very satisfied. At least Yaoyao nodded. This was Yaoyaoâs response to her. He must be looking forward to it too. After retracting her hand, Li Xiwu stood up and walked towards Pei Jingzhou. âLetâs go home.â
Pei Jingzhouâs gaze landed on Yaoyao, who was sitting on the sofa. Yaoyao was also looking at him. The father and son looked at each other for a moment. Yaoyao retracted his gaze and lowered his head.
Pei Jingzhou understood that Li Xiwuâs decision was right. Nothing could be rushed. This was the best solution.
After leaving the Lu family, Li Xiwu was a little dejected.
Youyou, who was in Pei Jingzhouâs arms, was very obedient and quiet. This was because Youyou could sense that her mother was unhappy. She could not disturb her mother at this time.
After getting into the car, Li Xiwu felt better. She reached out and said,
âYouyou, come to me.â
Pei Jingzhou wanted to say something, but Youyou had already slipped out of Pei Jingzhouâs arms. She moved towards Li Xiwu and threw herself into her arms.
âMorn ? â Youyou threw herself into Li Xiwuâs arms and sweetly called her mother.
Li Xiwu gently stroked Youyouâs cheek. âYes.â
Youyou looked up and blinked as she asked Li Xiwu, âIs Brother coming to our house in the future?
Li Xiwuâs hand on Youyouâs cheek paused. It was clearly just a simple answer, but at this moment, Li Xiwu did not know how to answer Youyouâs question with the most suitable words.
The chauffeur maintained a uniform speed and drove on the wide avenue.
The rows of buildings on both sides of the street and the greenery kept retreating through the car windows into afterimages. While Li Xiwu was thinking, Pei Jingzhou had already asked Youyou for her, âDo you like Yaoyao?
Youyou opened her eyes. âI like him.â
Pei Jingzhou continued to ask, âThen what do you think if we bring Yaoyao back to live with us?â
As soon as he said this, the smile on Youyouâs face faded a little until it completely disappeared. She lowered her eyes and pouted. She asked in a low voice, âWhen Yaoyao comes, are you sending me away?
âNo.â
âNo.â
The answers came from Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou almost in unison.
Youyou turned around and looked up at Li Xiwu, as if she wanted to confirm it again. âReally?â
Li Xiwuâs answer was gentle and firm. âI really wonât.â
Hearing this answer, the smile that had disappeared returned to Youyouâs face.
Her eyebrows relaxed and she danced. âOkay, okay. I love
And she liked him from the bottom of her heart. She liked him for no reason. From the first time they met to today, she liked him very much.
Li Xiwu looked at Youyou, who was dancing with joy. Worried that she would fall) she reached out to support her. When Youyou stopped, she kissed Youyou i s forehead. âMom will bring Yaoyao over as soon as possible.â
Youyou nodded. âOkay.â
âYouyou,â Pei Jingzhou shouted.
Youyou turned to look at her father. âHuh?â
Pei Jingzhou corrected her. âIn the future, Yaoyao will not be a younger brother. He will be an older brother.â
Youyou didnât ask too many questions and nodded obediently. âIâll remember.â
Pei Jingzhou did not expect his daughter to accept it so quickly. He remembered that he had been doing the procedures recently and had moved Youyouâs household register over, but he had yet to think of her name.
âHoney, have you thought of a nice name for Youyou?â Pei Jingzhou asked.
Li Xiwu smiled faintly. âFourth Brother, havenât you thought about it?â
Pei Jingzhou said, âI thought about it a little, but I feel that itâs a little lacking.â
He had originally planned to return to the Pei family and let Pei Qingji and Han Qianye name Youyou and enter the Pei familyâs genealogy. However, Pei Qingji and Han Qianye had not been in the Pei family recently.
He told Li Xiwu his thoughts.
Li Xiwu said, âYouyouâs name and Yaoyaoâs name have to be prepared, but Auntie and Uncle havenât been around recently. Letâs wait a little longer, orâ¦â
Pei Jingzhou smiled. âYou suddenly thought of a nice name?
Li Xiwu looked up at Pei Jingzhou. âI dreamed of a scene.â
Pei Jingzhou: âYeah?â
Li Xiwu said softly, âIn my dream, I was pregnant. My father, who was standing beside me, told my mother that if I gave birth to a boy, his name would be Li Yangui. If it was a girl, her name would be Li Yansheng.â
She dreamed of it, so that must have happened.
âLi Yangui, Li Yansheng.â Pei Jingzhou murmured these two names with a relaxed expression, as if he was very satisfied. âThese two names are very good,â Pei Jingzhou said. âOur father must have thought about it seriously, or he wrote down the names after flipping through the naming dictionary page by page.â
This sentence hit Li Xiwuâs heart. She sighed with emotion. It had been so long since the dream. She could still remember the two names her father had mentioned in the dream. She had probably committed them to memory deep down.
âAs for surnames, one is surnamed Pei, and the other is surnamed Li,â Pei Jingzhou suddenly said.
Li Xiwu looked at Pei Jingzhou in a daze. âAre you sure?
Pei Jingzhouâs eyes and tone were firm. âYes, but itâs up to you to decide who takes the surname Pei and who takes the surname Li. Donât worry about entering the genealogy. There will be another name written on the genealogy. Just change the household register.â
Family genealogy and household registration did not conflict. In the genealogy, the descendants of the Pei family could not write external
surnames, so they had to choose another name to enter the genealogy. In the future, they could use both names.
Li Xiwu looked at Youyou, who was about to fall asleep in her arms. âLet me think about it. Thereâs no hurry to decide.â
Pei Jingzhou replied gently, âOkay.â
Back at Lake Lu, Pei Jingzhou took Youyou, who was already asleep in Li
Xiwuâs arms. As he hugged Youyou with one hand, he did not forget to hold Li Xiwuâs hand with the other.
Li Xiwu smiled. âJust carry Youyou. You donât have to hold my hand. Iâm not a child. â
Pei Jingzhou held Li Xiwuâs hand firmly. âWe have to hold hands for the rest of our lives, no matter what..â
