She felt blessed.
Especially when she heard the sound of the two little lads dancing around her and blowing out the candles.
Hua Jin bickered with Little Yichen as they distributed the cake. At the same time, Youyou pestered her and asked if she had thought of a name for his little sister.
“A name…”
Yun Shishi narrowed her eyes and replied with a smile, “I thought of many names and had discussed them with your daddy. He said that the name Yueyao is a lovely and poetic name.”
Youyou’s face twitched as he said in utter disdain, “Yueyao? This name isn’t nice at all! How is it that Daddy has such poor taste!”
Mu Yazhe smacked the back of the boy’s head unhappily.
“Ouch… It hurts!” Youyou held the back of his head and pouted indignantly. “I didn’t say anything wrong. Why did you hit me, Daddy?”
“What’s not nice about Yueyao?!”
“How is it nice?!” Youyou argued. “Don’t you think that the style of this name is too old-fashioned?!”
Feeling aggrieved hearing Youyou’s ridicule, Yun Shishi could no longer keep quiet. On the verge of tears, she cautiously reminded Youyou, “Youyou… This… This name was given by Mommy! Daddy only selected it among others!”
Youyou’s expression turned awkward when he heard this. He immediately cleared his throat and tried to smooth things over. “Actually, this name sounds quite nice. Hmm… Mu Yueyao, is this like the Celestial Maiden of the Jade Pool under the moonlight?”
“Yes, yes!”
The boy hit the nail right on the head.
Yun Shishi was extremely satisfied. “That was my intention. Yueyao, Yueyao, what a beautiful name!”
“Mu Yueyao, Mu Yueyao… Uh huh, this name is not bad.” Youyou immediately tried to brown-nose his mother. “Mommy is indeed scholarly, to be able to come up with such a nice name!”
Mu Yazhe, who was watching this from the side, was rather peeved. He immediately looked sullen.
He reached out, pinched Youyou’s ear, and pulled the boy to his side. “Yun Tianyou, is this your stance? Earlier on, you insisted right in my face that this name didn’t sound nice. You criticized it repeatedly. So why is it that you keep praising it now that Mommy says this name was given by her!”
Youyou shamelessly defended himself, “Because it’s really nice! Although it’ll sound better with the surname ‘Yun’!”
“Surname ‘Yun’?” Hua Jin raised an eyebrow and stroked his chin before saying with a grin, “Indeed, Youyou is insightful! ‘Yun Yueyao’ indeed sounds much better than ‘Mu Yueyao’!”
“…” Mu Yazhe was speechless.
Mu Yichen also chimed in, “Yun Yueyao sounds nice! Yun Yueyao sounds nice! Alright, let’s have Little Sister take Mommy’s surname!”
Youyou burst out laughing when he heard this and said half-jokingly, “Daddy will be heartbroken for sure, how could he bear to do that! Daddy wouldn’t be willing for Little Sister to have the surname ‘Yun’.”
“Not really!”
Mu Yazhe, however, replied, “It’s not impossible for her to take the surname ‘Yun’.”
Lowering his gaze, he looked lovingly at Yun Shishi’s slightly swelling belly and smiled. “Whichever surname she takes, she is still my daughter.”
“Wow!”
Youyou was excited when he heard that. “Daddy, are you really willing?! If Little Sister takes Mommy’s surname ‘Yun’, then Little Sister and I will share the same surname!”
On the surface, he was all smiles, but how could Youyou not understand?
