Chapter 980: Chapter 980: Wouldn’t Want Her Even If She Were Given to Me
"Tongtong, doesn’t the name Gai Yu sound like a girl’s name?" Gu Chun slightly disapproved of the name.
The name Gai Yu originally came from the character ’Yu’, as the couple hoped their daughter would grow to be graceful and beautiful like jade, a symbol of beauty. So, when naming their daughter, this ’Yu’ character was unanimously approved by them.
But now, they had a son, and the name Gai Yu still sounded like a girl’s name no matter how it was perceived.
"Why not add the ’gold’ radical to it—Gai Yu, with a jade-like character, sounds nice." Lian Tong was lazy about picking names, thinking that names are all the same anyway.
Gai Yu, such a nice-sounding name—why change it?
"You go ahead and choose. If it’s not sounding nice, I don’t want it." Lian Tong looked at him askance.
Gu Chun looked down at his sleeping son and thought: Son, I fought for you.
So, the name they chose for Lian Tong’s child was decided to be ’Gai Yu.’
Tang Yue sighed upon hearing this naming process, saying that while other families often prioritize sons over daughters, in their family, it was the other way around.
Daughters seemed to be more precious at home.
"Honey, I heard Zaozao and Chenchen managed to sit steadily today?" Si Yu placed both kids on the bed. With the warm weather, they wore fewer clothes, and although they wobbled a bit, they still managed to sit steadily.
"That’s awesome." Si Yu kissed his daughter.
"They’re halfway to a year already. Six months is normal to be able to sit." Tang Yue looked proud; not long ago, they couldn’t sit steadily, tipping over as soon as you let go.
She held Zaozao in her arms. As they grew, the siblings became somewhat similar, but it was easy to distinguish who was Zaozao and who was Chenchen.
Zaozao, a boy, was quieter, like a girl.
Chenchen, though a girl, was more lively, like a tomboy.
"Chenchen, say ’Mama.’" Si Yu coaxed Chenchen to speak.
"Yaya." Chenchen moved her mouth but didn’t quite make any clear sounds, reaching out her small hand to grab the tail of a cloth tiger.
"Mama."
"Yaya."
Si Yu kept coaxing, but Chenchen still couldn’t say the word.
"Puff~"
Tang Yue couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "Si Yu, it’s usually not until eight or nine months that kids start talking, right? That’s considered early; some won’t speak until they’re over a year old."
"We’ll have to wait a few more months for them to call us ’Mama’ and ’Papa.’" Tang Yue looked at her two kids with anticipation. Despite being a mother, hearing her children call her ’Mama’ felt unique.
"Chenchen, you should call ’Mama’ first since Mama has been working hard taking care of you." Si Yu taught them to say ’Mama,’ touching Tang Yue quite a bit.
She had heard many parents vying to get their kids to call them first, but not Si Yu.
He kept teaching them to call ’Mama.’
This made Tang Yue happy.
"By the way, next month we have a wedding banquet to attend." Si Yu suddenly mentioned.
Tang Yue curiously asked, "Who’s getting married?"
"Qin Anhao." The thought of it surprised Si Yu.
Previously, there had been no hint of it.
"Is it with Xie Ziyao?" Tang Yue uncertainly mused. When Si Yu returned from Jin City, she thought Qin Anhao might develop something with Xie Ziyao, but from her pregnancy until now, with the kids six months old, there had been no progress.
Sometimes even Qin Anyu complained about Qin Anhao not quickly finding a sister-in-law for her, so she wouldn’t be scolded when she went back.
She heard Qin Anyu talking about it just a few days ago.
How quickly time went by, and now suddenly, there’s a wedding?
"It’s her." Si Yu felt surprised too, saying, "Not only you, but we are all surprised at how quickly this wedding was decided."
"Could it be a shotgun wedding?" Tang Yue wondered, touching her nose, then dismissed it, considering Qin Anhao’s graceful demeanor.
Qin Anhao was upright yet inflexible, unlikely to do anything before marriage.
"Impossible." Si Yu shook his head, "There might be other reasons."

Jin City.
The time rewound to three days ago.
After Qin Anhao had found the drunken Xie Ziyao, he returned to his previous company, and Xie Ziyao was at school the entire time. The two lost contact, seeming like mere acquaintances that didn’t even exist.
Occasionally, Qin Anhao heard that Xie Ziyao had a boyfriend named Zhou Xu, introduced by Xie Ziyue, who was wealthy and managed a company.
Knowing this, Qin Anhao had no intention of disturbing Xie Ziyao.
Until Qin Anhao took a vacation, went to Jin City, and arranged to meet school friends for dinner and then sent his friends off, unexpectedly running into Xie Ziyao again.
Alongside Xie Ziyao was her boyfriend Zhou Xu.
It was Qin Anhao’s first time seeing Zhou Xu, whose appearance was exceedingly handsome, sporting the trending hairstyle, clad in a tailored suit with an expensive watch, radiating the air of a successful person.
Xie Ziyao and Zhou Xu didn’t see him, saving him from greeting them. Strangely enough, Xie Ziyao and Zhou Xu chatted beside the car, visible to Qin Anhao, but unbeknownst to them, they missed seeing Qin Anhao in a dark corner.
"There’s nothing to talk about between us," Zhou Xu said impatiently.
’Pop’
Xie Ziyao pointed at Zhou Xu, exclaiming, "Zhou Xu, I’ll have you know, you must bear the breakup reason. I caught you in bed with another woman! How dare you shift the blame on me, making my brother scold me!"
Xie Ziyao, angered, delivered her words quietly, yet they rang in Qin Anhao’s ears from afar.
Qin Anhao furrowed his brows, finding Zhou Xu’s behavior unfitting for his identity.
In the darkness, Qin Anhao stayed, fearing for Xie Ziyao’s safety.
He pondered: Why would Zhou Xu, with such a beautiful girlfriend like Xie Ziyao, seek other women?
"If it weren’t for you refusing to let me touch you, why would I look for someone else?" Zhou Xu said indifferently, "Remember, your father has more than one woman anyway."
"Zhou Xu."
Xie Ziyao, gritting her teeth, faced Zhou Xu, swiftly stepping forward and kicking toward him.
Unable to dodge, Zhou Xu crashed into the car, cringing in pain and sweating, clutching his abdomen, saying, "You unruly woman, without Xie family’s fortune and Ziyue’s influence, you’d be worthless even if gifted to me."
"So virtuous and prim? Meanwhile, I heard you pursued the Qin surname, who ignored you."
