My rigid, jealous husband has fallen for me, even though I'm a hopeless romantic.

Chapter 48: Choose 1 of 2 names

"By the way, we still don't know if the little one is male or female."

"A girl." Wei Dongning answered his question without even looking at him.

The speed was so fast that Gu Peiyan couldn't help but have the illusion that she was fooling her.

Seeing how certain she was, he still chose to believe her.

As Qian Rong approached with the banknotes, Wei Dongning grabbed Xiao Wu's paw and patted Gu Peiyan's arm: "Have you thought of a name for it yet?"

"of course."

Gu Peiyan spread out the Xuan paper and wrote the two characters "Yingxue" on the left half of the paper.

On the remaining half, Wei Dongning wrote the words "Xiao Wu" on it.

"Okay, put the paper on the ground and let it choose for itself."

To be fair, they both stood behind the little guy.

Just in case the little one chooses a person instead of a name.

Unfortunately, despite all her careful planning, Gu Peiyan hadn't anticipated the bug that existed in the middle of it all.

It means that Wei Dongning and Xiao Wu can hear what each other is thinking.

"Don't choose the wrong one! I'll buy you pastries tomorrow. I ate some today, and they were especially delicious!"

"Meow~" (You can rest assured that I'll handle things well.)

Gu Peiyan watched the little guy's movements nervously.

As it strode to the left, it couldn't help but glance smugly at Wei Dongning.

It's like he's showing off how well he chose his name.

Unexpectedly, Wei Dongning didn't care about his boasting at all: "It's not over yet."

The little guy stepped around the paper and finally lay down on the words "Xiao Wu".

Wei Dongning suppressed a laugh and patted Gu Peiyan on the shoulder twice: "It's okay, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war."

To put it more politely: "Raising your hand isn't an apology, it's a sign you still need to practice, buddy!"

Gu Peiyan stepped forward, picked up the paper from the ground, and examined it carefully to determine what kind of magic Wei Dongning possessed.

But no matter how you look at it, the two pieces of paper look exactly the same.

"Why? Is the name 'Yingxue' not good?"

"Of course, that's great, but Xiao Wu probably prefers a simpler name." Wei Dongning clapped her hands at the lazy Xiao Wu: "Come on, Xiao Wu! Let me show you the little nest I've prepared for you!"

Gu Peiyan was left bewildered in Panyue Pavilion.

In fact, without that special channel through which the two of them could communicate, Wei Dongning wouldn't be able to be sure which name Xiao Wu would ultimately choose.

It's a pity no.

Qian Rong stepped forward and went to Gu Peiyan's side to comfort him, "Young Master, it's just a name. When the little master is born, you and the young mistress will still have a chance to compete."

"you're right."

Wei Dongning took Xiao Wu for a walk around the courtyard where she and Gu Peiyan lived, then led it into the bedroom and pointed to the brand-new cat bed next to the small couch: "That's where you'll sleep tonight. Do you want to try it out?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu jumped out of Wei Dongning's arms, patted the soft mattress on the bed a couple of times with its paws, and then nestled contentedly on it.

From the incessant snoring in its throat, Wei Dongning knew how satisfied it was.

"Don't rush to enjoy it, there's a cat tree over there. I had them wrap a lot of hemp rope around it, so you'll have a place to sharpen your claws."

Xiao Wu leaped onto the cat tree.

Its two front paws scratched at the rope, but in its mind it was communicating with her: "Where's the litter box? I also need to take care of this important matter in my feline life."

Wei Dongning had also thought about this issue.

However, because the cat's poop smelled really bad, she chose to place the litter box in the small flower bed outside.

There will be servants specifically responsible for cleaning up poop.

All she needs to do is enjoy petting her cat in her room.

Xiao Fu had never seen such an adorable raccoon before, and tentatively poked it with a finger.

The soft, plush texture instantly won her heart: "Oh my god, it's so cute! Miss, could I borrow it for the night? It would be so comfortable to sleep with it!"

"Xiao Wu?" Wei Dongning did not answer directly for it, but instead handed the choice to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu snored and rubbed his head against Xiao Fu's palm.

agreed.

It has self-awareness.

The guy who brought it back definitely wouldn't agree to it sleeping with them at night.

It also doesn't want to be the 800-watt light bulb between them.

Anyway, Ningbao spends the most time with it every day, and it can even sleep with Ningbao during her afternoon nap.

It doesn't care about the time of day at night.

Be generous and give it to that man.

Wei Dongning found it somewhat amusing to understand Xiao Wu's inner thoughts.

However, she didn't force Xiao Wu, and waved her hand, agreeing to Xiao Fu's request.

After Xiao Wu transformed into a cat, it seemed to have acquired the soul of a kitten.

The kitten was having a great time playing with the toys that Wei Dongning had prepared for it.

Especially the cat toy made of chicken feathers, it was already exhausted, and even lying on the ground, it would stretch out a little paw to try to pry it up.

Ignoring the risk of catching a cold, Wei Dongning plopped down on the shoe-changing stool by the bed, occasionally waving the cat toy in her hand.

The regrets from my past life seem to be gradually being made up for without me even realizing it.

Gu Peiyan stood in the backlight, quietly watching their interaction.

He had a doting smile on his lips that he himself didn't even realize was on his lips.

"Young Master, aren't you tired of standing here? Why don't you go inside?"

Qianrong had been standing with him for a long time and was already exhausted.

Seeing that he still showed no intention of going in, and thinking of her own leg, she mustered up the courage to ask him a question.

As a result, because they were making a bit too much noise, the two people playing with Xiao Wu in the room all looked over at them.

Gu Peiyan almost lost her composure, and coughed lightly with her clenched fist to her mouth: "I just got back. It seems you're getting along very well with this little guy."

There is no three hundred taels of silver here.

However, since he brought Xiao Wu home, Wei Dongning didn't want to expose him: "Xiao Wu is very well-behaved, and I have to thank you for bringing it home. Otherwise, I don't know when I would have been able to find one that I liked."

Men, as long as they are generous with praise, will surely receive unexpected surprises.

Anyway, praising her a couple of times doesn't cost any money.

What a great deal!

She used this trick on Su Yizhuo before, and it always worked.

Xiao Wu turned to look at Gu Peiyan, who was walking into the house, and shook his head in exasperation.

Sure enough, poor Tom Cat got hooked again and turned into a cat with upturned beaks.

If this is a mission world, then Gu Peiyan is the mission target.

It's estimated that Ningbao will be the fastest player to complete the game.

You don't even need to do anything; just say a few words to coax the child, and the man will fawn over you like it's free.

Wei Dongning heard what Xiao Wu was thinking and slapped the cat on the head.

Hearing Xiao Wu meow pitifully after being patted, Gu Peiyan quickly picked it up and held it in her arms: "Why did you hit the child?"

Wei Dongning was dumbfounded, pointing at Xiao Wu nestled in Gu Peiyan's arms: "Child? What child? Where did this child come from? You call it a child?"

Wei Dongning really wanted to crack open his head and see what he was thinking.

Then shake him awake and tell him, "We're from different generations, bro!"

She treats Xiao Wu like a sister, but he actually wants to be Xiao Wu's father?

In short, he was taking advantage of her.
