Fortunately, Su Rui’s milk production was relatively normal and she did not use the breast pump she prepared earlier.

Of course, she didn’t make use of Gu Yu Cheng either.

The corner of Su Rui’s mouth twitched as she noticed a tinge of seeming anticipation then disappointment in someone’s eyes.

Although she didn’t know what was going through Gu Yu Cheng’s mind now, Su Rui wanted to say to him: Mr Gu, the truth is definitely not as good as you imagine.

However, after the baby drank and was full, Gu Yu Cheng was very serious about learning a massage technique from the nanny.

Su Rui chose to ignore a particular person’s eagerness to try.

With her face a little flushed from someone’s gaze, Su Rui called out to Gu Yu Cheng, “Yu Cheng.”

“Hm?”

“Have you thought of a name for the baby yet?” Su Rui asked.

This question stumped Gu Yu Cheng.

“Not quite yet.”

Gu Yu Cheng has been thinking about the baby’s name, both a boy’s and girl’s name, since Su Rui was pregnant. However, he had not decided on one yet.

Su Rui was also aware of this.

When they don’t have a child, it seems easy to pick a name by picking a few words with auspicious meaning and combining them together. It would be fine as they are pleasing to the eye and sound catchy.

But when it comes to naming their own child, it is not so easy.

They would always want to use the best ones for him. As they list a bunch of words, they are constantly worried that it is not good enough and easy to pronounce…

“Gu Ming Rui, Gu Yan Rui, Gu Wen Rui… These.” After a pause, Gu Yu Cheng asked, “Which one do you think is better?”

“All of them seem good?” Su Rui also answered with some difficulty in deciding.

Su Rui could vaguely guess the reason why Gu Yu Cheng insisted on using ‘rui’ for the last word.

But this is good. At least, it narrowed down the choices a little.

Su Rui turned her head to look at her son beside her and asked gently, “Son, what do you want to be called? Gu Ming Rui or Gu Yan Rui?”

Little Child, Gu-a certain-Rui continues to sleep.

Su Rui thought about it and said to Gu Yu Cheng, “Why don’t we give him a nickname first and write down the name you think of, then take it to both families and let mum and dad choose one.”

Although having a child is mainly a matter for her and Gu Yu Cheng, the existence of a child is equally relevant to both families.

Furthermore, Mother Su, Father Su, Mother Gu and even Father Gu were all so excited over this child.

Leaving the matter of determining the name to them was a kind of respect.

As for why they were not allowed to pick a name directly.

With the preference of Comrade Su and people of his generation, Su Rui was worried that they would just come up with a name in the same manner as ‘Gu Jian Guo^[1]’ or ‘Gu Da Ye^[2].’

“Okay, let’s come up with a nickname first.” Gu Yu Cheng said as he nodded his head.

After saying this, the corner of Gu Yu Cheng’s mouth suddenly raised and said jokingly, “Da Fu^[3]?”

This was originally a nickname that Su Rui came up with out of the blue when she wanted to amuse Gu Yu Cheng last time.

Originally, Su Rui had already forgotten about it and she was reminded of this by Gu Yu Cheng.

“I don’t want this.” It is too old-fashioned.

Su Rui frowned as a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

“Then Da Gui^[4]?” Gu Yu Cheng smiled and added.

Hearing this name, Su Rui glanced at Gu Yu Cheng solemnly.

“Gu Yu Cheng, this is your son.”

She now has ample evidence to suspect this man was digging a pit for his son.

“How about calling him ‘An An’? ‘An’ from the word peaceful.” Su Rui thought about it and suggested.

Didn’t the internet say that the nickname given should be a bit common for the child to grow up well in the future?

Let’s leave “Dog egg”, “dog leftover” and so on out.

An An feels just fine.

“An An?” Gu Yu Cheng raised his eyebrows. “Not bad.”

“Right?” Su Rui smiled and turned her head to look at the baby, “Gu An An, you will be called Gu An An from now on. Do you like the name?”

“Why does our An An look so good?”

Su Rui was probably looking at her own son now with a super thick layer of filter just like all parents.

No matter how much she looks at him, she thinks her child is the best looking, and it was the kind where she doesn’t accept rebuttals.

“Yu Cheng, look, did he just smile?!” Su Rui said with stars in her eyes. Although it wasn’t obvious, Su Rui felt the child’s mouth purse a little.

She especially liked looking at Gu An An. One reason was that she had given birth to this child and another reason was that Gu An An’s features looked exceptionally like Gu Yu Cheng’s. It was a miniature version of Gu Yu Cheng, which looked extremely cute.
