Chapter 864: Su Ji went Berserk!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Tangyuan.”
This was the nickname that Prince Huai had given the child.
In the beginning, Su Ji did not tell Pei Huai that she was pregnant. He said that she did not like children or wanted to be a DINK, but that was nonsense. She was mainly afraid that something would happen to her when she returned to the modern world.
If that was the case, Pei Huai would never be able to live in the same time and space as her child. He would not even be able to witness the birth of their child. Just thinking about it made her feel extremely regretful. She did not want Pei Huai to be like that.
Prince Huai had found out about her pregnancy from the imperial physician when she returned to the Great Shang.
This child was not Prince Huai’s, but in a sense, it was his. Prince Huai did not do anything but became a father.
It would be difficult for an ordinary person to accept this. Prince Huai would also have a dark expression on his face every time he went to court, but the tonics that were sent to the palace through various channels were real, and so were the teachings that Su Ji gave him when she decided to overthrow the two-tax system.
Regardless of his past life or present life, he was still him.
He was extremely loyal to Su Ji. It was rare for others to love someone single-mindedly, but he loved Su Ji devoutly.
Later on the day of the ritual, Prince Huai sent her over on horseback. Although he said that if anything happened and she couldn’t make it on time, he would want her to stay in the Great Shang obediently. However, he was clearly rushing. Sweat dripped on his ears and slid down his ears.
He hoped more than anyone else that something unexpected happened. Even if a group of bandits rushed out from both sides of the road at this moment, he could fight against a hundred alone and protect Su Ji. As long as he could delay some time, he stubbornly hoped that Su Ji would stay and did not hesitate to do some crazy things. However, at the last moment, there was only one thing that stopped him. He knew that Su Ji wanted to go back and be with that person. That was Su Ji’s wish.
Therefore, Su Ji’s heart softened because that was Pei Huai.
She wanted Prince Huai to give the child a name. The first name, Pei Huai, would definitely have to be the one to give it. Su Ji knew that Prince Huai would not have the chance, so she wanted him to give a nickname.
However, she was only two months pregnant and Pei Huai wanted to give a nickname to the child!
This man was very possessive of things that belonged to him.
Only Su Ji knew that Prince Huai gave the child a nickname, so as long as Su Ji did not say it, Pei Huai would not know. He could call the child whatever he wanted. It was just a name, and it did not affect anything.
However, Su Ji was not that kind of person. She might be able to do it to others, but she really could not do it to Pei Huai.
At the same time, she couldn’t tell Pei Huai that Prince Huai had already decided on the child’s nickname.
He was so wary of that person. Su Ji had seen how perverted it was to be jealous of himself.
So now, there was only one way left.
Su Ji glanced at the sweet soup that Aunt Wu had just sent over, and a bright and cunning glint flashed across her eyes.
Didn’t Pei Huai want to give the child a nickname?
So as long as Pei Huai was induced to come up with the same name as Prince Huai, wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?
Su Ji rubbed her chin.
She was really a genius.
This idea sounded very difficult at first glance, but in fact, it was not.
Because in the sweet soup that Aunt Wu sent today, there were a few sweet and sticky white glutinous rice balls.
Wasn’t this a coincidence?
“Go ahead.” After thinking about it, Su Ji generously raised her head. “It should sound cute. It’s best…if it’s a popular dessert.”
Unexpectedly, Pei Huai shook his head calmly. “What’s popular might not be suitable for our child.
A few seconds later, she said, “but I like it.”
Pei Huai looked at her. “Then it’s suitable! ”
As long as he was the one who named the child, he would completely accept his fiancée’s opinion in other aspects.
Alright, he began to think.
Su Ji picked up her sweet soup.
Aunt Wu’s cooking skills never disappointed anyone.
The situation wasn’t as optimistic as she had imagined. A few minutes later, he came up with “steak”, “asparagus”, “Foie Gras”, “matsutake”. Su Ji drank the sweet soup slower and slower.
She felt that it was probably because there were too many delicacies in modern society and there were too many choices that Pei Huai could not get it in one try.
“You don’t like any of them?” Pei Huai asked her.
Su Ji shook her head. “Not cute enough.”
Pei Huai fell into deep thought. He was very cautious about giving their child a nickname.
This was a huge matter.
Su Ji continued to hint at him, “Pei Xi’s daughter has a round head and is very cute. I think the food should also be round. It’s best if it’s soft and sticky…”
As she spoke, she slowly pushed another bowl of sweet soup in front of Pei Huai.
Pei Huai’s gaze finally landed on the bowl of sweet soup…
After a minute of silence, Pei Huai lifted his eyes and looked at her, suddenly enlightened. “I understand.”
Su Ji heaved a sigh of relief. It had not been easy for her.
Since she had given so many hints, it should not be a problem. Prince Huai and Pei Huai were originally one person, so they definitely had chemistry.
Then, in the next second, Pei Huai said, “how about Yuanxiao?”
The corners of Su Ji’s mouth twitched slightly!
The meaning is similar, but why couldn’t they call it the same way?
“Yuanxiao is cute enough.” Su Ji finally showed a satisfied look. Pei Huai was about to make a decision when Su Ji said, “but.. ”
Pei Huai said, “but what?”
“The word ‘Yuanxiao’ is a bit of a mouthful.” Su Ji’s fair fingers moved a little.
“Can you say it in another way?…” Pei Huai looked into her eyes. “Round balls.”
Su Ji:
“Another one.” She gritted her teeth.
Pei Huai replied, “Fuyuanzi.”
“Tangwan. ”
“Sweet dumplings.”
Her fiancé was too knowledgeable!
Even she, an ancient person from thousands of years ago, didn’t know these names!
Su Ji almost choked on the sweet soup. “It’s Tangyuan, Tangyuan, Tangyuan!!!
Was he doing it on purpose?
Su Ji rarely went berserk. Even if the sky fell, she would still cover herself with the blanket and go back to sleep after a good night’s sleep.
But she was really anxious just now.
Pei Huai’s expression froze. As he comforted his fiancée, his gaze once again fell on the sweet soup in front of him. He had forgotten about it for a moment.
Tangyuan!
“This name is indeed not bad. Do you like it too?” Pei Huai’s eyes flashed.
Su Ji was so tired that she sat up straight in her chair. “I like it a lot!”
Pei Huai nodded slightly. “Then let’s call it Tangyuan. It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl, it fits.”
He looked at Su Ji’s slender limbs.
Tangyuan.
Their first treasure…
