Chapter 1227: The Baby’s Name
Su Shen gently carried the baby over to the bed, his breath held as if he were handling a priceless artifact. He carefully laid the little one down beside Gu Zi.
The baby was fast asleep, his tiny face plump and rosy, like a perfectly ripened peach that had been kissed by sunlight. His skin had that tender, dewy glow only newborns could possess, and his tiny lips were adorably pursed, as if dreaming of milk. Every now and then, he’d make a soft smacking sound with his mouth, the faint scent of milk lingering around him—it was almost unbearably cute.
Gu Zi’s heart softened into a puddle. She couldn’t resist reaching out and gently poking her son’s chubby little cheek. He didn’t stir in the slightest. Not even a thunderclap would have woken him, she mused. In that sense, he truly took after Su Li.
Gu Zi had always dreaded the idea of a constantly crying, fussy baby. But this little one? From the moment he was born, he had been remarkably easy to care for—peaceful, calm, composed. Just like his father.
Watching her gaze glow with that tender light of new motherhood, Su Shen was struck by the realization that she was still just a young woman, still delicate in many ways. He reached over and gently stroked her hair, his eyes full of affection.
"What would you like to call him?" he asked. "Pick a nickname. And maybe even his official name too—up to you."
For some reason, hearing him say that warmed Gu Zi’s heart in a way that caught her off guard. It was a sugary sweetness that seemed to bloom from nowhere, prompting a spark of inspiration.
"I want to call him Teddy," she said with a gentle smile. "Because I hope he grows up sweet and joyful, always filled with happiness. As for his formal name... let’s go with Su Wei. I want him to grow strong and full of life, like flourishing greenery in the peak of summer."
Su Shen nodded approvingly. "I love it." Then he remembered something. "By the way, Chen Yu mentioned something to me. Based on our current situation, we can actually register Teddy’s details here in the capital. What do you think?"
Gu Zi sat up slightly, her mind already racing with the implications. Everyone knew how valuable capital city registration was for the future. There was really nothing to consider.
