The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback

Chapter 1144 - 1146: Naming

His voice was low and mellow, and his gaze was a rich, unfathomable softness.

These two indistinct words made many people exchange glances, looking at each other, seeing a hint of ambiguity in each other’s eyes.

Mo Shu met his gaze and saw the deep, intense affection in it.

She pressed her lips together and said, "Mm."

She bypassed him and walked forward.

Yu Siqiao walked alongside her with a smile on his lips and said, "Cousin is over there."

At these words, the cousin immediately stood up, bowed to Mo Shu, and said, "Greetings, Princess. I’ve long admired your name, and seeing you now truly proves your beauty surpasses anything I could have imagined. When you first entered just now, I almost thought I was seeing a living fairy, truly breathtaking!"

No one dislikes being complimented, even if the praise is somewhat cliché.

But why did this voice sound so familiar?

Mo Shu looked at the cousin and chuckled softly, "Cousin, you’re too kind."

The Emperor was in an excellent mood today, waving Mo Shu over, saying, "Shushu, come to Father."

Mo Shu smiled gently and was about to step forward when suddenly her hand was held.

She turned back to see Yu Siqiao.

Yu Siqiao looked at her, a twinkle in his eyes like starlight, "Will the children sit with me?"

Mo Shu was a bit flustered by the sparkle in his gaze, clearing her throat lightly, "As you wish."

The children were being held by Ji Nan and Zhao Mei, both with big eyes looking around.

When they saw Yu Siqiao walking over to them, the little milk jars got excited, reaching out to him eagerly, and squealed with delight.

The Emperor’s joyful mood dipped a bit, glaring fiercely at Yu Siqiao.

Yet Yu Siqiao, unaware of the Emperor’s displeasure, scooped up the children, a big smile on his face, looking carefree.

Both little ones clung to his neck, sitting on his arms, giggling away.

Seeing this scene, the cousin said, "These two children are truly clever, their bright and lively manner is so delightful. By the way, cousin, what are their names?"

Yu Siqiao played with the two children and said, "Xiu Li and Xiu Nian."

Cousin: "Are those their courtesy names? What about their given names?"

"Given names?" Yu Siqiao instinctively looked at Mo Shu, "Have you given the children their formal names?"

Mo Shu, not having this concept as usual, was a bit surprised by the question, "Those are their formal names."

"That’s not proper," the Emperor said, "A man needs a formal name to be respected outside."

The Emperor rubbed his hands with excitement and said happily, "Since the two children have not yet been given formal names, why not let me bestow them?"

Yu Siqiao’s lips curled slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but since the children were born, no names were given yet. May I ask the Princess why?"

Mo Shu: ???

Because in modern society, everyone only has one name!

Who would have a formal name and then a courtesy name?

Mo Shu was quiet for a moment and had to explain, "I haven’t had any good ideas yet, what does Father think?"

The Emperor said happily, "If that’s the case, then leave it to me, what do you think?"

Mo Shu nodded.

Unexpectedly, the cousin said, "So that’s how it is. However, Princess, as a commoner, I have a question: should these two children bear the royal surname, or will they take my cousin’s surname?"

Mo Shu calmly said, "Naturally, the surname is Mo."

"Well..." the cousin seemed a bit disapproving, "Pardon my boldness, but since you two are married, if the surname is Mo, will the children recognize my cousin as their father?"
