Chu He suggested, “How about the pet name ‘Qianqian’ for the girl?”
Butler Fu was pleasantly surprised. “That sounds nice!”
Chu He was pleased with herself. She glanced at Gu Jinglian. Since he treasured his daughter so much, he would probably be very fussy about her pet name. However, noting that the man appeared agreeable, she ventured to add, “Let’s give the boy the pet name ‘Ruirui’. How about that?”
“Ruirui?”
“Uh huh!”
“Okay.”
Butler Fu nodded, also looking pleased.
Gu Jinglian made no ments.
Thus the pet names of the babies were decided.
“Well, that’s something, isn’t it?” It had taken her a lot of reading and referencing to e up with the two names.
Gu Jinglian nodded. “Yes, it’s much better than the name ‘Baby Chu’!”
Chu He turned red and cleared her throat awkwardly before quickly changing the subject. “What names are you going to give them, Gu Jinglian?”
“I’ve already thought of the girl’s name.” Gu Jinglian looked at the sleepy baby girl in his arms and smiled. He rubbed the tip of her nose dotingly.
“Lingge.”
The flying dragon leaped through the clouds, and the crane flew through the spiritual (Ling) wind. The character “Ling”, which means “spirit” came from “24 Poems of the Wandering Immortal” by Tang Wuyun.
Chu He was surprised. “So you’ve already thought of a name.”
“No.”
Gu Jinglian said, “It only just came to me.”
“Ha!? Only just?” Chu He was extremely taken aback. She did not expect Gu Jinglian to be so acplished in literature. He could casually recite a poem out of thin air, and furthermore, the name he came up with sounded better than anything she would have been able to e up with.
Chu He had given it thought. It wasn’t as if she had not tried ing up with names. However, the names for a baby boy she could think of were Gu Yixuan, Gu Junfeng, and Gu Tianyi. Ultimately, these names were too… too mon.
She had also e up with several names for the baby girl, but they were not as appealing as “Lingge”.
“So, have you thought of a name for the boy too?”
Gu Jinglian deliberated for a moment, contemplating as he looked out of the window. Suddenly he came up with a name, “Gu Xinghan.”
The galaxy is vast and void, but the heart holds a memory or two.
“Xinghan…” Even Butler Fu was startled.
Chu He repeated it several times. “Xinghan, Xinghan. Oh my, what a nice name!”
She only thought it was a nice sounding name, but she did not understand the meaning behind Gu Jinglian’s choice.
But Butler Fu understood. Gu Xinghan. Baby Chu was named Gu Chengze. Together, their names bined to give the name Xingze.
Butler Fu narrowed his eyes and smiled. He looked at the boy in his arms and said softly, “Ruirui, your father named you Xinghan. Do you like this name?”
“How lovely!” Chu He was without a doubt satisfied with both names.
The night deepened. Chu He went to bed early.
Because the wound had yet to heal, the two little ones were fed formula milk. However, Chu He did not seem to be producing enough milk either, despite them having hired a lactation consultant and supplementing with fish soup.
Hence, Gu Jinglian hired two wet nurses. This was a huge relief for Chu He and enabled her to focus on recuperating.
Because she had a cesarean section, and unlike in a natural birth, it had taken a great toll on her body.
Even she felt indignant for her body. This tough shell had fought with her through life and death situations and suffered too many injuries. Now, there was another scar on her belly. However, this scar was sacred. Through it, she had brought two new lives into the world.
Lingge, Xinghan…
Those two names were beautiful.
