Chapter 1: Love me, love my house
Gu Mengyao’s labor and delivery went very smoothly. With the addition of two little treasures to the Gu family, Gu Qing and Gongsun Feifei also became grandparents overnight.
However, by the time Gu Mengyao finished her postpartum confinement, no name had been decided for the children.
Although Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu had thought of names for the children before, looking at their adorable babies, who seemed like they had stepped out of a painting, Gu Mengyao felt that the names they had chosen earlier were too casual.
Her children’s names could not be decided carelessly.
Gu Qing agreed wholeheartedly. The names of his precious grandchildren had to be the best.
It’s just that…
Gu Qing’s ability to come up with names was rather disappointing. After proposing several names that he was satisfied with, they were all rejected by the other members of the Gu family.
This made Gu Qing incredibly depressed. He never expected his naming suggestions to be rejected.
However, the children couldn’t remain nameless forever. Although calling them “baby” was fine for now, they couldn’t keep calling them that when they grew older!
“It would be great if Qingheng were here. His little head is filled with so many words; he’d surely come up with a good name.”
This day, Gu Qing was pacing around fretfully, and eventually ended up at Gu Mengyao’s place.
Looking at the adorable appearance of his precious grandchildren, it melted his heart, making him wish he could hold the two little treasures all day long and never let go.
This left Gu Mengyao feeling helpless. Naming the children had unexpectedly become a difficult problem.
However, as newborns of the Gu family, being so cared for was ultimately a good thing.
It was just that Gu Yu’s reaction felt too calm, as if he didn’t like children… Gu Mengyao had just given birth, and her thoughts had become more sensitive.
In this situation, Gu Yu’s behavior was naturally noticed by her.
For Gu Mengyao, both the children and Gu Yu were extremely important!
During her pregnancy, Gu Yu had many matters to attend to, which also made Gu Mengyao worry… Gu Yu’s personality already leaned towards extremes. He would only temper it when she was by his side. However, when he handled a large number of matters alone, he would become exhausted, and his personality flaws would manifest at such times.
Moreover, Gu Yu was not a man who spoke about everything he felt…
Gu Mengyao worried that her little husband might stray further down the wrong path. Therefore, as soon as her body recovered, she immediately took charge of the martial arts world’s affairs to alleviate some of Gu Yu’s pressure.
As a result, the once turbulent martial arts world quickly calmed down in a short period.
Those sects that were on the verge of collapse could now recuperate, no longer worrying about being wiped out overnight. They had not expected such a result when confronting the imperial court.
It was unknown how much influence Bai Qian possessed to have such a severe impact on the martial arts world!
If not for the newly appointed Martial Arts Alliance Leader’s competence, the martial artists might have been annihilated by now. That’s right, Gu Yu’s plan was to bring fame to Gu Mengyao.
Although Gu Mengyao held the position of Great General, it was an identity recognized by the imperial court. Her standing in the martial arts world was not yet established.
In fact, there was even some hostility.
Under such circumstances, Gu Mengyao had to intervene with a strong hand, making these martial artists realize her value after they had tasted defeat.
The plan had been going well, and Gu Yu had even planned to make another decisive move. However, he never expected his little wife to take over the martial arts world…
Although the process was a bit different, the outcome was quite good.
The martial arts world was completely subdued by Gu Mengyao, unlike before when her status was not acknowledged.
Gu Yu did not interfere further and handed over all martial arts matters to Gu Mengyao.
Originally, he was just paving the way for Gu Mengyao.
Gu Yu could be ruthless towards others, but when it came to the people he cared about, he wouldn’t even scheme against them.
Especially Gu Mengyao, the woman he loved his entire life!
“Yu, do you want to name the children?”
Gu Mengyao’s gaze was not subtle, and Gu Yu quickly noticed it. However, he didn’t know what his wife was looking at him for.
Although he also loved the children born to him and Gu Mengyao, Gu Yu had never interacted with such young children before. Now, as a new dad, he was even afraid to get too close.
These young children felt dangerous to hold!
He couldn’t let this thought show.
Gu Yu was formidable in everything he did; how could he admit defeat in raising children!
He would secretly ask others later and practice in private. He was sure he could do his best… Thinking this, Gu Yu was completely unaware that Gu Mengyao’s thoughts were already racing down the wrong path.
No matter how much Gu Yu disliked children, he loved the children born to him and Gu Mengyao out of love for her!
“Naming is something that should be done with great care… I heard from Chengfeng Shan that the abbot of Heavenly Dragon Temple outside the capital is good at naming. We can take the children there.”
Gu Yu valued the children greatly and pondered over the names repeatedly, ultimately finding nothing satisfactory.
So, it was better to leave the naming to a professional!
Gu Mengyao had also heard of the Heavenly Dragon Temple that Gu Yu mentioned. She knew that the abbot there was indeed good at naming… With no satisfactory options at hand, visiting Heavenly Dragon Temple wouldn’t be a bad idea.
On the way, Gu Yu could also hold the children to strengthen their bond.
“Heavenly Dragon Temple… That’s a good idea. The abbot there is very famous. It’s said he was once the top scholar. I wonder why he became a monk! My good friend’s son’s name was given by the abbot.”
Before Gu Mengyao could speak, Gu Qing immediately nodded with satisfaction.
How could he not have thought of Heavenly Dragon Temple!
Now that Gu Yu had mentioned it, Gu Qing clapped his hands and decided that there was no time like the present. They should leave immediately!
As it was still early, and naming the children at the temple wouldn’t take too much time.
“Dad, are we going now?”
Looking at the excited expression on Gu Qing’s face, Gu Mengyao guessed that her father wanted to leave immediately. Although she felt it would be better to go tomorrow, going today would also settle the children’s names…
Therefore, if Gu Qing insisted on going today, Gu Mengyao would go along with him.
“Yes, yes, yes. If we confirm the children’s names early, I’ll feel more at ease! Besides, there’s nothing much going on at home. Your younger brother is still wandering around at the Tang Sect and won’t be back anytime soon, so don’t worry about him.”
Speaking of his son, who had been away for several months, Gu Qing was extremely frustrated. He thought that this brat had been out for so long, he was truly too mischievous.
When he returned, he would have to have a good talk with him.
Of course, Gu Qing didn’t plan to punish Gu Qingheng because Gu Yu had mentioned… Gu Qingheng might bring his wife back with him this time when he returned.
This made Gu Qing extremely excited, as he waited to hold Gu Qingheng’s child.
More children would make the house more lively!
However, if Gu Qing knew that even after Gu Qingheng and Tang Lian got married, they wouldn’t be intimate too soon… he would probably be very upset.
