Chapter 328 It is None of Your Business
“Grandpa, let’s call Taotao ‘Ouyang Han’, OK? You kept saying ‘Ouyang Han’ all day. But you don’t know the last character of the name. Just give him a name with three characters.” Xia Xiaoluo said to Ouyang Feng, who has been thinking about it.
As time went by, tomorrow would be a celebration of Taotao’s 100-day old. However, he still didn’t have an official name, making Xia Xiaoluo a little anxious. She simply made a suggestion to Ouyang Feng.
“How can it be? The word ‘Han’ couldn’t be used as a name. It’s a sign of the generation in our Ouyang family. Let me think about it again! Xiaoluo, you should believe in my ability. I care about Taotao very much So that I want to give him the best name, that’s why I’m entangled with his name again and again. You have my words, and I can think out a good name by today so that Taotao can have a good official name when he is 100-day old.” Ouyang Feng still did not give up. He still wanted to work hard to give Taotao name.
“Grandpa, I believe you. It’s just that I think it’s pretty good to use the single character ‘Han’ as Taotao’s given name. Just like you. Isn’t your given name ‘Feng’ a single character? So Taotao’s given name can also use a single character just like yours.” Xia Xiaoluo was reluctant to make Ouyang Feng stay up late every night, looking up the words from ancient books.
“You are right, my little girl. My father, your great-grandfather, he took me too seriously as well, so he wanted to give me the best name. But he could not come up with the best one. So he used the single character for generation as my given name.” Ouyang Feng said with a smile. Thinking of his father who talked about it at that time, he could not help smiling.
As soon as Xia Xiaoluo heard this, she said at once, “Grandpa, why don’t you learn from your father and give Taotao a name just like yours? Isn’t that very meaningful?”
“That’s true!” Ouyang Feng was thinking about something.
“Grandpa, let’s settle it this way! Taotao and I are both reluctant to see that you stay up late every day to look up the words from books.” Xia Xiaoluo held Ouyang Feng’s arms and said to him as a spoiled child.
“Let me think about it for another night. If I really can’t decide it, it depends on you. If I can think out any name better, of course it’s a better thing. Alright?” Ouyang Feng still didn’t give up.
“Well, Grandpa. We make a deal that today is the last day. You can’t keep thinking about Taotao’s name anymore and even forgot to eat and sleep well.” Xia Xiaoluo compromised.
“OK. I promise you.” Ouyang Feng said with a smile. He looked at the lovely granddaughter with doting eyes. He liked her very much.
“Let’s make a deal!” Xia Xiaoluo reached out her little finger to Ouyang Feng.
“Oh? Good! I will do it with you.” Ouyang Feng was very happy. He hadn’t played such a trick for many years. Today, when Xia Xiaoluo mentioned it, he was full of memories. Xia Xiaoluo reminded him the times about his son and grandson’s childhood.
“If you promise, you can’t go back!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
Xia Xiaoluo went back to her room to took care of Taotao. Ouyang Feng continued to look through all kinds of books. Strange words or too popular ones were not available. Thinking about it, Ouyang Feng fell asleep on his desk.
A Tie saw this, so he put Ouyang Feng to his bedroom. Ouyang Feng was sleepy. He fell asleep in the bed again.
When he woke up, it was already the dawn.
Ouyang Feng saw himself lying on the bed, he opened the curtains quickly, “It’s over. It’s over. I haven’t named my great-grandson yet!”
Ouyang Feng scolded himself. It was just heard by Xia Xiaoluo who came to see him.
“Grandpa, in this case, you should keep your promise! Don’t be entangled with Taotao’s name anymore.” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile.
“OK. I will keep the promise. We can call Taotao ‘Ouyang Han’ temporarily! Anyway, Taotao is still young. It’s easy to change his name later. If I can think out something better and more meaningful, we can change it.” Ouyang Feng said. Actually he didn’t want to give up giving a good name to his great-grandson.
“You can think about the names, but Taotao doesn’t have the chance to use it. After you thinking about it, you can use it for the children of Taotao’s uncle in the future.” Xia Xiaoluo laughed. She was joking. She hoped that Ouyang Feng would not be entangled with Taotao’s name anymore.
What a coincidence. What Xia Xiaoluo said was just heard by Ouyang Ziqian who came to see his grandfather.
Ouyang Ziqian didn’t look well. Although Taotao was one hundred days old today, he still couldn’t accept it. He couldn’t accept the fact that the girl he loved was his cousin.
He had a painful and miserable time these days. He really wanted to leave Y Country to relax himself. He wanted to forget all these things. But when he saw Xia Xiaoluo looking after Taotao, he was reluctant to leave them, because he wanted to be supportive. Although he knew that his family loved Xia Xiaoluo, so they could live well even if he was not here. He still insisted on staying with Xia Xiaoluo and taking care of Xia Xiaoluo and Taotao as their cousin and uncle.
When Ouyang Ziqian heard Xia Xiaoluo’s joke, he was really going crazy.
“Xiaoluo, I think it’s none of your business to take care of my stuff.” Ouyang Ziqian said with a poker face.
It was the first time for Xia Xiaoluo to see Ouyang Ziqian act like this. She felt that Ouyang Ziqian was going to be angry with her for the first time.
“Ziqian, you bastard. You can’t bully your cousin. It’s not easy for me to find Xiaoluo. If you bully her, I won’t talk with you anymore.” Ouyang Feng protected Xia Xiaoluo.
“I’ll go and see how the banquet of the100-day old arranged by my father is going! Take your time!” Ouyang Ziqian turned around, leaving Xia Xiaoluo a helpless back.
Ouyang Feng naturally knew why his grandson was angry just now, but it was useless to get angry now. For so many days, his grandson couldn’t accept the fact that the girl he loved was his cousin. But the fact was the fact. It couldn’t be changed.
“Grandpa, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t speak like that!” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t have time to apologize to Ouyang Ziqian. She was stunned just now. She could only say sorry to Ouyang Feng.
“Silly girl, it’s not your fault.” Ouyang Feng sighed and continued to say, “He must accept the fact. No one can help him. He must think it through by himself. When he can let it go, he has grown up. It is time for him to shoulder the mission of the Ouyang family.”
Ouyang Feng had a high expectation for Ouyang Ziqian. He believed that his grandson would not be depressed due to this incident. He believed his grandson…
The banquet of the100-day old was arranged very well. It was a large-scale reception combining Chinese and western style. It not only retained the traditional style of Chinese banquet of the100-day old, but also infused a lot of western romantic elements.
The atmosphere was very relaxing. Taotao received a lot of gifts and blessings. He was very helpful today. He was smiling all the time, making everyone think that he was very cute.
Through this banquet, in Ouyang family’s circle of relatives and friends, they all knew two people. One was Ouyang Ziluo, the other was Ouyang Han.
If Xia Xiaoluo was a Cinderella, Ouyang Ziluo was a noble lady. If Xia Xiaoluo was an ugly duckling, Ouyang Ziluo was a white swan.
Xia Xiaoluo was always not confident. She didn’t know what was going on. She just felt that everything was like a dream.
In the evening, Xia Xiaoluo and Xiao Lan made Taotao sleep. Then Susan came to tell Xia Xiaoluo that Ouyang Ziqian wanted to invite her out to have a talk.
Xia Xiaoluo looked at Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan nodded to her. “You can go. I’ll be here with Taotao. If it’s necessary, I will let Susan stay and help.”
“Xiaoluo, it’s better to make it clear to Little Sir Ouyang! To straighten him out. He can’t go on like this. Today, when there were guests, he forced himself to smile. When there was no guests, he just drank alone. Only you can persuade him.” Xiao Lan said.
Xia Xiaoluo dressed herself. She changed a bright green dress bought by Ouyang Mingyu from Milan. She wore many high-end jewelries. After dressing up, she went to the backyard of the manor. As Susan said, Xia Xiaoluo went to Ouyang Ziqian’s appointment.
“Cousin!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“Xiaoluo, it’s so late. I know you’re tired. I’m sorry to disturb you.” Ouyang Ziqian was still so gentle.
“I’m sorry for what I said in the morning. I was…” Xia Xiaoluo wanted to apologize in person but Ouyang Ziqian stopped her.
“I know that you were making grandpa happy. I was in a bad mood in the morning. I’m sorry.” Ouyang Ziqian apologized first. “During the daytime, you have to take care of Taotao. I can’t ask you out until Taotao falls asleep.”
“I…” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t know how to say.
“Xiaoluo, let’s go outside for a walk! I want to talk to you!” Ouyang Ziqian said.
“OK.” Since Xia Xiaoluo came out, she didn’t want to refuse him. She decided to straighten Ouyang Ziqian out.
Ouyang Ziqian opened the door for Xia Xiaoluo gently. Xia Xiaoluo sat at the co-pilot seat. This time, Ouyang Ziqian drove by himself. In fact, Ouyang Ziqian was good at driving, but he was different from Ling Tianyi. Ling Tianyi liked the feeling of driving, while Ouyang Ziqian liked sitting at the back seat and enjoying the quiet environment.
Ouyang Ziqian took Xia Xiaoluo to a private cafe near the manor. “Xiaoluo, the handmade coffee here is very pure. It’s right about time to take you to taste it. If you want to drink it later, you can come here by yourself.”
“Cousin, I know you don’t want me to call you like this, but I have no choice.” Xia Xiaoluo was going to persuade him. “Now things are going like this, I hope that you can relax yourself. During this period, you are still so good to me and Taotao, but I know that you are unhappy.”
“I’m your cousin and Taotao’s uncle. Being nice to you is my duty. Moreover, I… In a word, no matter what our relationship is, if you need my help, I will try my best to take care of you. Your business is my business. Taotao’s business is also my business. No matter wherever I go, as long as you need me, I will show up in front of you as soon as possible.” Ouyang Ziqian said.
“You mean you will go somewhere else?” Xia Xiaoluo asked.
“Xiaoluo, I ask you out today, and the most important thing is to say goodbye to you.” Ouyang Ziqian took a sip of coffee without sugar.
