Chapter 1379 - 1381: Really Looks So Much Alike_1
"She didn’t know she got the wrong man? Weren’t you watching with your own eyes?" Yang Chuxia was baffled; what was this situation?
"Yes, the one who came out of the room then was Mu Shaoling," the Commandery Princess Dongyang admitted she was also confused. However, what she didn’t know was that before Mu Shaoling emerged, another person had already stepped out ahead of him.
"Does the child look like Mu Shaoling?" Yang Chuxia wondered. It was said that daughters resembled their fathers. If the child didn’t look like Mu Shaoling, it might not be his after all. Well, she was half-doubtful about what Mu Shaoling said.
Speaking of the looks, the Commandery Princess Dongyang stroked her chin, her expression slightly troubled, "To tell you the truth, the child really does look like Mu Shaoling, dazzlingly beautiful. Even this young, you can tell they will be exceptionally handsome; I shudder to think how they will stun the Capital City when they grow up."
To her, it was as if a miniature Mu Shaoling had dressed up in women’s clothing.
"That’s why I’m telling you, Xiaxia, because of this, I’ve always been skeptical about whether his words are true."
"I see!" Yang Chuxia suddenly understood, She thought to herself that the relationship between the two of them seemed harmonious on the surface but was deeply estranged underneath. So the crux of the issue had not been resolved.
"Xiaxia, if the child isn’t Mu Shaoling’s, then whose would it be? To tell you the truth, with that resemblance, it’s not just me who would be unconvinced; probably few people would believe it." The resemblance was uncanny.
"How would I know? I haven’t seen the child," Yang Chuxia rolled her eyes but then added, "However, if it really isn’t Mu Shaoling’s child, it must be someone from the Mu Family, given the resemblance. There must be a blood relation."
"Someone from the Mu Family?? It’s unlikely to be someone from the second branch of the family, as the couple there is very much in love. As for the third branch, only Mu Shaofeng was in the Capital City at that time. Whose child could it be? Surely not Mu Shaoling’s father’s."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the Commandery Princess Dongyang hastily covered her mouth, "Look at me spouting nonsense. Let’s drop the subject; I need to think of a nickname for the child."
However, she didn’t notice the glint in Yang Chuxia’s eyes after she spoke.
"It’s too early to pick a nickname when we don’t even know if it’s a boy or a girl," Yang Chuxia thought innocently, wondering if this wasn’t being a bit too hasty since they had only named Lele and Yangyang after they were born.
"What’s early? If we pick one that works for both, it’s settled."
Clearly, the Commandery Princess Dongyang was interested in the topic and even had paper and pen brought over, eagerly discussing it with Yang Chuxia.
By evening, they had already come up with dozens of names.
"Hey, your naming skills are terrible!" Mu Shaoling looked over the papers on the table, not satisfied with any of them.
Yang Chuxia pretended not to hear his criticism, thinking that his wife had come up with the names, and he could criticize all he wanted; it would still be him kneeling and scrubbing the washboard later.
"Listen to these, ’Lebao’? Can it be any more tacky? ’Lebei’? It’s not like they’re twins, tsk tsk..."
Then Yang Chuxia noticed that every time he spoke, the Commandery Princess Dongyang’s face darkened a shade.
It was Ye Zi’an, the considerate one, who knew to step in and smooth things over, "What was the result of your medical diagnosis?"
At the mention of this, Mu Shaoling’s attention shifted and he shook his head with a grave expression, "It’s not easy to cure. This disease has never been seen before. I’m afraid the flesh all over her body is wasting away, but that’s not the worst of it. The real concern is that all the internal organs are wasting away as well. In the end, it’s likely she’ll literally starve to death."
