"Then what if I don't want to? What if I still want to take my mother's last name? Doesn't my father love me anymore?" Xiao Shixiu asked Zheng Zuoyang with nervous eyes.
"No, no matter whether Shixiu's surname is Zheng or Fang, his father will love Shixiu just the same." Zheng Zuoyang looked at the child's face without blinking and said every word seriously, "Everything depends on Shixiu. According to Hugh's wishes, neither father nor mother will force Hugh to divorce."
"Then... I'll take my father's last name," Xiao Shixiu hugged Zheng Zuoyang's neck and kissed his cheek, "I like my father the most, and I want to take my father's last name."
"Daddy's good boy." Zheng Zuoyang felt a little jealous and hugged the child tighter.
"Ayang, it's time to get up and eat dumplings..." Fang Zhenli opened the curtain and came in. As soon as she saw the two men, one large and one small, on the bed, she couldn't help but feel angry and funny, "Fang Shixiu, why are you so shameless, every day? He came here to pester your father early in the morning. Let him go and let him get up. "
"Mother, please don't call me Fang Shixiu from now on!" Little Shixiu poked his little head out of Zheng Zuoyang's arms and looked at Fang Zhenli seriously, "From today on, please call me Zheng Shixiu!"
Fang Zhenli was startled: "...Who told you this?"
"I just want to take my dad's last name, and dad agreed just now," Xiao Shixiu said with bright eyes, while shaking Zheng Zuoyang's arm, "Dad, tell your mother."
"Zhenli, I just discussed it with Shixiu. He wants to take my surname, and I'd rather it." Zheng Zuoyang hugged little Shixiu and sat up. He kissed little Shixiu's forehead and spoke again. Looking at Fang Zhenli, "Zhenli, are you willing?"
Fang Zhenli's nose felt sour, she quickly lowered her head and said hoarsely: "You don't have any objections, of course I am totally willing."
"Oh oh oh! I take my father's surname! My name is Zheng Shixiu! Oh oh oh!" The child couldn't detect his mother's mood. He danced and had fun on the bed, and was finally carried out by the wet nurse to wash his face. Ready for dinner.
"Ayang, I'm sorry for you," Fang Zhenli took the clothes from the screen and gave them to Zheng Zuoyang, her eyes were red and she couldn't hide her excitement, "However, I have long wanted Shixiu to take your surname, and I have been afraid of it. You don’t agree.”
"Our son should naturally take his father's surname. I have such a fat son. How can I be wronged?" Zheng Zuoyang took Fang Zhenli's cold hand, stuffed her hand under his armpit, and warmed her up. Hand, he leaned over and kissed Fang Zhenli's reddish cheek, "It's true that I can't marry you openly now. It's really wronging you to let you follow me so unclearly."
"You know I don't care about that," Fang Zhenli wanted to take out her hands, but Zheng Zuoyang tried his best to prevent her from succeeding. Instead, he hugged her into his arms. She didn't struggle, but leaned on Zheng Zuoyang's shoulder and said softly. , "Ayang, you are good to me, your father, and Shixiu. Our family stays together and lives well. This is the most important thing."
"Yes, this is the most important thing." Zheng Zuoyang gently stroked Fang Zhenli's long hair.
