In the blink of an eye, it was dinner time. Ling Tianya ate the bland meal designed for the post-natal period. She had been abroad for six years and had known many women who had been pregnant and given birth. However, outside of her country, women never had to go through this. For the most part, the women who had given birth naturally would begin drinking cold water and wearing short skirts after giving birth. As for the women who had given birth through a C-section, they would stay in hospital for an extra couple of days at most before being discharged and doing whatever they pleased.
It seems that having a post-natal period was something that was only applicable to Asian countries. In actuality, Ling Tianya didn’t care much about what she ate. After all, she needed to feed the child, so it was better for her to consume less oily and salty foods. However, not allowing her to shower was worse than killing her.
Ling Tianya protested against this. Even if she could only wash her hair once a week and shower once a month, it was better than nothing. However, despite her protests, she was overruled by Madame Ruan and Wang Yazhi.
Halfway through dinner, Tiny Rice Ball got sleepy. Aunty Wang brought him downstairs to walk around with him. Seeing the baby, Ruan Qishan was no in dinner and before Madame Ruan and Wang Yazhi could react, he took Tiny Rice Ball from Aunty Wang and carried him in his arms.
“Tiny Rice Ball, I am your grandpa! Say grandpa!”
Madame Ruan rolled her eyes at her son. “Are you stupid? How old is the child right now? How would he know how to say grandpa?”
Ruan Qishan didn’t mind Madame Ruan’s scolding and said, smiling, “Of course I know that he can’t call me grandpa right now. I’m just getting him familiar with my voice and the word “grandpa” by occasionally reminding him. When the time comes for him to be able to talk, his first word will be “grandpa”!”
Madame Ruan laughed. “Did you read this in that book?”
Ruan Qishan shook his head. “No. I thought of it myself.”
Mdm Ruan shook her head. There was no hope for her son…..
Ruan Qishan carried the baby over. Everyone else continued eating. Madame Ruan brought up the topic of naming the child.
Tiny Rice Ball had been born quite a few days ago. Over this period of time, they had always called him by his nickname and hadn’t yet determined his real name.
Ling Tianya knew that since he was the son of the head of the Ruan Family, she didn’t have the right to name the child. Therefore, she didn’t offer her thoughts and simply waited for the elders to think of a name.
In reality, in terms of names, even if Ling Tianya wasn’t thinking about it, the elders in her family all been doing so. Madame Ruan and Ruan Qishan had thought of many.
In the end, Madame Ruan, as the paternal great-grandmother, determined the Tiny Rice Ball’s name.
Ruan Mingxiao, a brave and fearless name. As the heir of the Ruan Family, he must possess those characteristics. Fearless, firm, full of justice, yet demonic, decisive and possessing the qualities of a leader!
Ling Tianya felt that for a newborn, the name Ruan Mingxiao was too great. She didn’t want her child to carry the burden of being an heir right after being born. However, she also knew that she couldn’t decide any of these things. That was also why she had wanted to be pregnant with a girl. Then, perhaps, the girl would be able to have it easier in the Ruan Family.
Now that Tiny Rice Ball’s name had been determined, a huge task could be considered complete. After dinner, Rian Qishan told Mr. Zhong to inform everyone in the Ruan Family clan of the baby’s name.
When Ruan Guosheng heard the name Ruan Mingxiao, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
In an unhappy tone, Qin Shi said, “Ruan Mingxiao. Are they trying to proclaim the child’s status to us? The child has just been born and has already been given such a powerful name. Aren’t they afraid of giving the child pressure?”
Ruan Guosheng remained silent, but his wrinkled hands tightened in fists.
He had been suppressed by Ruan Qishan in the early years of his life. Then, in later years, he was suppressed by Ruan Zeyan. He didn’t want to be suppressed by Ruan Mingxiao when he got older…
