Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Let Me Hold You

So, Lan Shan decided she would no longer seek that man’s opinion, and in the end, it was Leng Tou’s father who decided on the character ’Duke’ and named the baby Cold Duke.

Gu’s mother found their discussion amusing and came over with the baby in her arms, saying, "The baby was born in winter, so why don’t we call him ’Born in Winter’?"

Shen Letian burst into laughter, "Ha, Auntie, you are so talented!"

Thinking of the name Gu Xiaorou, Shen Letian made another indecent joke, "Looking at how you named your daughter Xiaorou, I thought you were going to name this one ’Little Strong’! Hahahaha..."

Sheng Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "’Little Strong’ is quite common. Luckily Tang Yu isn’t here, otherwise, with that guy’s brain, the names he comes up with would surely make the baby cry!"

Now the baby hadn’t cried yet, having eaten his fill, he was looking at everybody curiously, his big, round eyes rolling around everywhere.

"Let me hold him," said Gu Hangshen, reaching out his hands.

Gu’s mother handed the baby over to him.

Gu Hangshen held the baby skillfully, looked at him, and the baby looked back at him, blinking his big eyes, so clear and innocent that he couldn’t help but be reminded of someone else through him.

Then, Gu Hangshen wrote down two characters with a fountain pen—"Siqi."

"Huh? What does this mean?" Shen Letian pulled the piece of paper over, looked at it over and over, and still couldn’t figure it out.

"I don’t get it, but I think this name is not too bad!" Sheng Yu also expressed his confusion.

Leng Tou was deep in thought, Siqi, Siqi...

But when Gu’s father saw it, he praised immediately, "Not bad, not bad at all! This name is great!!!"

"Uncle Gu, you... understand the implication?" asked Leng Tou, quite surprised.

Gu’s father nodded repeatedly, "Confucius said, ’When we see men of worth, we should think of equaling them; when we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.’ The name Siqi is really good!"

Leng Tou twitched the corner of his mouth, he knew that Uncle Gu had misunderstood.

However, obviously, Gu Hangshen had deliberately chosen such an obscure name that even in such a short time, he had thought to crown it with the glorious halo of a Confucian saying.

"What about the nickname?" asked Gu’s mother.

Gu’s mother muttered, "’Little Si’ sounds like ’servant’, and ’Little Qi’ sounds like ’petty’..."

"Xiao Nian," Gu Hangshen said gently, looking at the little guy in his arms.

"My dearly beloved grandson? This nickname isn’t bad either!" Gu’s mother nodded with a smile.

Thus, the baby’s formal and informal names were all determined by Gu Hangshen.

Due to the strong insistence of Gu’s father and mother, when registering, the baby’s surname was restored to Wen Ren.

After all, the Wen Ren family only had Gu Hangshen left, and no matter what, they still had Xiaorou.

The girl had requested to return to the United States a few months earlier, stating she didn’t want to ruin her life over a man, and wanted to continue her studies in the US so that she could have enough ability to take over the Gu Corporation when she returned.

If that was truly the case, they could be relieved.

They hoped she had really thought it through for the best!

This daughter’s willfulness was something she, as a mother, understood best. Having spoiled her to such an extent, she felt responsible too.

Whether it was them as parents or Xiaoshen, they couldn’t protect her forever. One day, she would have to grow up and learn to face things on her own.

Afterward, a confused Shen Letian and Sheng Yu huddled together, seeking enlightenment from Leng Tou, who clearly had an understanding of the situation.

Leng Tou simply glanced at the two men, "Hmm, you might try repeating ’Siqi’ and ’Xiao Nian’ a few times separately."
