My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 486: The Well-Thought-Out Name

But her mother had already said to her that after the divorce, she must take her dowry back, as well as all the things that were added to the Prime Minister Residence over the years using her dowry—they must be thoroughly accounted for and moved out.

"You’ve prepared so much stuff, I’m afraid even if this child grows up, it won’t all be used up."

Chu Nanli couldn’t help but shake her head with a smile, she truly hadn’t expected Lin Xuanxuan to prepare so many things in one go.

Even if it were for two children, there would still be plenty left over.

"Well, after you marry the Prince, just make an effort to have another little one, and that would be good," Lin Xuanxuan said with a mischievous smile. She reached out to tease Taosu, then continued speaking.

"Look, Taosu is so small and already this cute, when she grows up, won’t that be even more incredible? She will definitely be as beautiful as you!"

As for the child’s father, she naturally didn’t lack the awareness to avoid mentioning Ye Yunting in front of Chu Nanli.

"It’s not as easy as you say,"

Thinking of Ye Jiuxiao, Chu Nanli’s face felt a bit hot, but she quickly calmed down.

Even now that the child was born, she wasn’t in a hurry to mention marriage to Ye Jiuxiao.

After all, Ye Jiuxiao still had to get through her original family’s tests.

While the two of them were still talking, Ye Jiuxiao walked in from outside.

He nodded towards Lin Xuanxuan and then naturally took a seat beside Chu Nanli.

Taosu, feeling his presence, stretched out her little hands wanting him to hold her.

Ye Jiuxiao’s movements in holding the child were extremely skilled, showing that he often did it.

In front of Ye Jiuxiao, Lin Xuanxuan naturally did not dare to be too presumptuous, but she still couldn’t help but make faces at Chu Nanli.

In her opinion, good news for the two of them must be right around the corner.

"I’ve thought of a few names for the child, do you see any that are suitable?"

Ye Jiuxiao gave Zero a look, and he immediately brought over the names Ye Jiuxiao had written down.

"Why so many?"

Lin Xuanxuan barely glanced at the names on the paper before exclaiming in surprise.

Each of these names was imbued with rich meaning, surely a lot of effort had been put into them.

Just from these names alone, one could tell how much attention Ye Jiuxiao paid to Chu Nanli on a daily basis.

"I think, they are all quite good. Why not simply draw lots?" Chu Nanli said, considering the many names and feeling somewhat undecided.

"Drawing lots is fine," Ye Jiuxiao said with laughter in his eyes as he looked at her, "but, let’s not be as casual as last time."

Chu Nanli felt somewhat embarrassed under his gaze: "Of course, I know that, I’ll be more serious."

If she didn’t take the task seriously and choose a good name, she really feared that the little ones would grow up and cry about it.

The atmosphere between the two was harmonious, making Lin Xuanxuan watching from the side feel her teeth ache with sweetness.

She felt she really couldn’t stay any longer and could only take her leave first.

After leaving the Regent Prince Residence, Lin Xuanxuan belatedly realized Ye Jiuxiao’s strategy.

The way Ye Jiuxiao behaved just now, wasn’t it just to make her leave on her own?

How infuriating!

But even after understanding this, Lin Xuanxuan didn’t dare to turn back.

Ye Jiuxiao only showed a gentle and harmless side when facing Chu Nanli.

In the eyes of others, he was still the resolute and decisive Regent King.

She didn’t dare to approach and court death.

...

While Chu Nanli was still undecided about what names to give the two little ones, Prime Minister Lin had already made a decision.

She had just finished her confinement period, so Lin Xuanxuan intentionally invited her to join in when she went to see the excitement.

"My mother said, as the younger generation, it’s definitely not proper for me to show up on such occasions, all I need to do is sit here quietly," she explained.

Lin Xuanxuan had specifically chosen a spot in the teahouse opposite the Prime Minister Residence so that she could have a clear view of the entrance from the teahouse’s windows.

It goes without saying that after knowing Lin Xuanxuan for so long, she had also picked up quite a few bad habits from her.

Lin Xuanxuan’s eyes held a mischievous smile, "Right now, all we need to do is enjoy the show."

Meanwhile, Liao Yu was busy instructing people to move things out, accompanied by the Liao family members.

Prime Minister Lin shook with anger, "Yu’er, we are after all husband and wife, do you really have to be so heartless?"

Indeed, he did want to keep things calm for the sake of his hard-won son.

After all, many years had passed since the incident, and Liao Yu hadn’t caused a major scene. Why did she have to be so aggressive?

He was even willing to compromise by protecting only the life of Concubine Li and having the child recorded under her name. To Prime Minister Lin, this was already a considerable sacrifice.

"It was you, Prime Minister, who made the decisive move first, was it not?" Liao Yu questioned.

Now, Liao Yu, no longer subdued as in the Prime Minister Residence, seemed energetic and spirited.

In fact, her days with the Liao family hadn’t been as difficult as Prime Minister Lin had imagined.

Her parents cherished her, and her two younger siblings treated her with great respect. Not to mention her younger brothers.

Upon learning of Prime Minister Lin’s actions, they were itching to give him a beating.

"Then why must you do this? Even if you don’t care about me, you should at least consider Xuanxuan," he argued.

Prime Minister Lin could only watch helplessly as his possessions were being moved out, unable to intervene due to the concern for his scholarly reputation.

"Xuanxuan is still unwed. You’re making such a scene, how will she find a husband in the future?"

"Don’t use Xuanxuan to argue with me!" Liao Yu retorted.

Staring hard at Prime Minister Lin, Liao Yu would not have come today if not for wanting to maintain the last bit of dignity with him.

"Over these years, have you ever cared for Xuanxuan? In your eyes, isn’t it only the good daughter born by Li?"

"When Xuanxuan was young, you found her lacking in countless ways. If you genuinely cared for her, would she have grown so distant from you over the years?"

"That’s because Xuanxuan is too immature," Prime Minister Lin obviously didn’t want to admit this publicly, "If she could be a bit more sensible, I wouldn’t have to be like this..."

"My Xuanxuan is more sensible than you know. It’s you who have mistaken the fake for the real, your eyes blinded for years!"

Liao Yu was known as a talented woman in the capital even before her marriage.

Now, her sarcastic barbs left Prime Minister Lin speechless.

"I had no idea that this is what my mother had in her heart," Lin Xuanxuan reflected, having overheard Liao Yu’s words.

In truth, although she had appeared strong on the surface over the years, deep down she had resented herself for not being born a boy.

If she had been a son, at least her mother wouldn’t have had to live without support in the residence, even forced to endure in silence at times.

She also thought that, although her mother never said it out loud, there must be regrets in her heart.
