Chapter 497: Chapter 490: Name

Leng Liewei stayed for a brief moment before leaving, looking awkward, evidently dissatisfied because Bai Yiran had given birth to a girl.

In response, Bai Yiran didn’t feel too upset. She didn’t care at all about Leng Liewei’s feelings. The child was hers and Leng Yichen’s, as long as they cherished her, that was enough.

Because everyone was busy with Bai Yiran and the child, Sister Liu went to the kindergarten very late to pick up Xiao Lang.

Upon hearing that Bai Yiran had given him a little sister, Xiao Lang was extremely anxious on the way, and headed straight to Bai Yiran’s hospital room upon arrival.

"Mom! Where’s my sister?"

"Your sister is right there, go have a look!" Sister Liu cheerfully led Xiao Lang to the baby crib.

Xiao Lang was just a bit taller than the crib, unable to see the child from above. He could only look through the gap in the middle. His eyes shone brightly, and when his small hand reached through the gap to just touch the soft little hand, it was immediately grasped by that tiny hand.

"Mom, look! My sister is holding my hand!"

Xiao Lang jumped up and down in excitement, and Grandma had to stop him.

"Keep your voice down, don’t disturb your sister."

Xiao Lang obediently lowered his voice, but his eyes wouldn’t move away from his sister’s face. "I’ll protect her in the future, so she won’t get bullied!"

Bai Yiran had once been worried, concerned that after having a new baby, Xiao Lang might feel uncomfortable. After all, he wasn’t the biological son of this family, and he knew it himself.

But now, it seemed that Bai Yiran’s worries were completely unnecessary. The way Xiao Lang looked at his sister was full of love, and she could even imagine a future where the two children would lovingly play together.

"Dad." Xiao Lang looked at Leng Yichen, "What’s my sister’s name?"

It was only then, upon Xiao Lang’s question, that Leng Yichen remembered the task of naming the child. Unable to come up with a good name on the spot, Bai Yiran had thought of a few, but they were all rejected. The reason was her names were too simple, mostly repetitive ones like Laugh, Laugh or Yi, Yi.

Such names were fine as nicknames, but as formal names, they seemed lacking.

Grandma had been thinking about this matter all along. Ever since she found out about Bai Yiran’s pregnancy, she had been looking through dictionaries, hoping to come up with a nice name for the baby.

Ultimately, it was Grandma who made the final decision on the child’s name.

Leng Yanxi, meaning beauty and brightness. Simple, yet filled with the elder’s blessings and beautiful wishes for the child.

"Leng Yanxi?" Xiao Lang repeated his sister’s name, "I’m called Leng Yanlang, she’s called Leng Yanxi! I’m Xiao Lang, and she’ll be Xiao Xi!"

Looking at her children, Bai Yiran’s heart brimmed with happiness. Such a scene made her feel that all the previous pain she endured was worthwhile.

In the evening, Leng Yichen asked everyone to leave, staying behind himself to take care of Bai Yiran. Grandma initially hesitated, wanting to stay, but given her age and limited energy, plus the presence of caregivers, Bai Yiran insisted that Grandma not stay. She firmly sent Grandma and Xiao Lang home with Sister Liu, while Uncle took Cheng Shishi home.

In the car, Cheng Shishi remained silent. Since that incident, she and her father were speaking less and less, fearing that she might say something wrong and be confined again.

"Where’s your mom?" Cheng Gang asked.

"She went home to make soup for my sister."

"Stop lying for her, going home to make soup without a word? She had a C-section herself. Would she not know your sister can’t eat anything right after giving birth?"
