Chapter 217 Naming
"No more gathering, what are you going to eat!"
"My wife got angry just now and almost complained to my parents again!"
"I'll go with her for the prenatal checkup this afternoon."
After sending the message, Li Keyi gently turned off his phone and carefully put it in his pocket. He looked back at Wu Qianqian who was sleeping quietly on the bed, then turned around and tiptoed out of the room, fearing that he would wake her up.
Walking to the balcony, Li Keyi took a deep breath, feeling the warmth of the sun on his face.
However, before I could enjoy this moment of peace, the notification ringtone on my phone rang again.
Several messages pop up in succession.
"Damn it! Lao Li, what happened to you?"
"Isn't your relationship bad? Are you pregnant so soon?"
Du Yujie was curious and wanted to gossip.
Lan Yaoxia had just finished the work at hand and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He stretched himself, then picked up the phone beside him to see if there were any messages or notifications.
When I opened the phone screen, I was shocked by the scene in front of me. This group chat that had been silent for several months actually had sixty or seventy unread messages!
His slender fingers slid across the screen and clicked in to check. The most eye-catching thing was the news that Li Keyi was about to become a father.
Upon seeing the news, Lan Yaoxia immediately replied: "It seems that Lao Li will be the first one among the three of us to become a father. Congratulations!"
However, Li Keyi did not show much joy.
Instead, he started to complain: "You don't know! I'm going crazy."
"Since Wu Qianqian became pregnant, her emotions have become extremely sensitive and she loses her temper every other day."
“I just don’t know what to do about it.”
Then, Li Keyi continued to complain, "Now I have to carefully take care of her emotions every day, pretending to be her grandson every day to make her happy."
"Ever since she got pregnant, I've been living in fear every day, afraid that I'd say something wrong and upset her."
"Even when I was eating, I had to follow her expression and didn't dare to pick up food casually."
Hearing this, Du Yujie couldn't help laughing and comforted Li Keyi, "This is the price of being a father!"
Li Keyi smiled bitterly and replied, "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so hard."
Du Yujie continued: "But everything will be worth it once the baby is born."
"Watching my children grow up little by little, the feeling is indescribable."
Li Keyi nodded in agreement, but then sighed and said, "I know, but it's really hard right now!"
Du Yujie encouraged: "Hold on, it will be over soon."
Lan Yaoxia also comforted Li Keyi: "Don't think like that, these negative emotions will affect your wife."
"You have to maintain an optimistic attitude, which is good for both the pregnant woman and the fetus."
Li Keyi just felt depressed: "I know, but it's really hard to do."
Lan Yaoxia thought about it and suggested: "Why don't you try to divert your attention?"
"For example, think about whether the newborn is going to be a boy or a girl, or give the child a nice name."
Li Keyi smiled bitterly and said, "These are just empty talk. I can't make the decision at all."
"Whether my wife gives birth to a boy or a girl, I have no say in the naming of the child."
"The elders in the family have long since taken away this right."
Lan Yaoxia hadn't expected this step, so she could only laugh and said, "Then you can discuss it with them and put forward some of your own ideas and opinions."
"After all, the child is your flesh and blood, and you should have a certain say."
“You need to get more involved in this kind of thing.”
Li Keyi lit up a cigarette: "It's useless, they won't listen to me at all."
"In their eyes, my words are just air"
Lan Yaoxia thought about it and suggested, "Why don't you try to ask other elders for help?"
"For example, your grandparents or grandparents, let them help you talk."
"Find something to do, don't be idle every day"
"Be more positive in this regard, your wife may be happier"
Li Keyi's eyes lit up: "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Maybe they can help me speak up."
Lan Yaoxia smiled and encouraged: "Then go and give it a try. You may get unexpected rewards."
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Du Yujie suggested again: "Hey, hey, hey! How about you two find some time to have a meal together?"
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, so this is a good opportunity for us to get together."
Lan Yaoxia looked at her schedule and found that she was not particularly busy recently, so she readily agreed: "Okay, sure."
"Then you can set a time, or you can come to Linhai City and I will treat you this time."
However, Li Keyi did not respond to them immediately.
Apparently, he might be communicating with his elders.
Du Yujie was very happy to see that Lan Yaoxia agreed, and he agreed with Lan Yaoxia's proposal.
He smiled and said, "Okay, let's schedule it for this Sunday."
"You shouldn't be too busy that day, right?"
Lan Yaoxia quickly replied: "No problem, there are usually not many important things to deal with on weekends."
As soon as the chat ended, Gao Ming walked into Lan Yaoxia's office.
"Boss Lan, I'm here to report."
After taking a look at Gao Ming in front of him, he felt relieved to see that he had fully recovered.
"Are you feeling well?"
Gao Ming nodded and said, "I've been lying there for so long, if I don't get better, I'm doomed."
Lan Yaoxia nodded and smiled: "You will be in charge of the afternoon meeting, is that ok?"
"no"
Li Keyi was still talking to his grandfather on the phone, but was scolded again.
"Why? Why can't I help name my child?"
He shouted to the other end of the phone somewhat unconvinced.
Grandpa Li Yinyi was not willing to let his grandson interfere in such an important matter as naming his great-grandson.
He knew very well that his grandson's thinking was different from others. If he gave him some weird or messy name, wouldn't that be a nuisance to him?
So he said seriously: "I told you not to get involved, so just stay out of it!"
Li Keyi was unwilling to give up. He continued to ask his grandfather: "I'm telling you, I'm looking through the dictionary now!"
"Maybe I can find a really nice name for my child."
However, Li Yinyi was not moved by his words. Instead, he said more firmly: "I will decide the name of my great-grandson. Don't even think about getting involved!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Li Keyi was so angry!
He threw away the cigarette butt and turned back to the corridor.
Seeing a servant carrying a bowl of soup to his room, he asked, "That! What's that for?"
The servant turned around and said with a smile: "Master, this is the soup that the eldest lady asked me to cook for the young lady."
