Chapter 948: Chapter 948: The Name is Good But We Can’t Use It

Suizi hadn’t replied to Chen Tong when she suddenly heard the children’s voices calling for their mother outside.

Ma Dong went back with an injury, and Little Luobo couldn’t sit still anymore and insisted on finding their mother.

"Let’s talk when we get back," Suizi said as she left the house, and the two children ran over with worried expressions on their little faces.

"Mom is fine," Suizi said, patting the children’s heads. These two kids were truly mischievous, but also genuinely affectionate.

Chen Tong watched Suizi speak softly and tenderly to the children and thought about the harshness she had shown when she had made him kneel earlier, his mouth curling downward.

In her past life, she had been this kind to him alone.

Now, not only did she have two little ones vying for her affection, but there was also a godson who had no blood relation to her at all.

Her love was given to so many people, yet she seemed annoyed by just one glance at him.

"Chen Tong, what are you doing here? I just saw you in a daze, not sure if it was a dream or not," Uncle Chen walked out of the room and looked at his nephew, a bit puzzled.

The two Little Luobos hid behind Suizi when they saw him, clearly still scared.

Speaking in a low voice, Suizi whispered, "It’s all right now."

The Little Luobos shook their heads in unison, their lips tightly closed, using their expressions to tell Suizi that it was not over yet.

At that moment, Suizi’s mind was all on Chen Tong, not in sync with the children, unable to catch their cues.

The wind was still strong, and Suizi, leading the elderly and children, could not leave the Theater just yet and had to stay put.

Chen Tong stood still, watching from a distance as she walked away with the two children, feeling indescribably upset.

She just walked away without looking back...

"What are you still doing standing there? Come here," Suizi turned around and called out to him.

"You know him?" Uncle Chen asked Chen Tong.

"She is Chen Hansui," Chen Tong introduced.

Suizi glared at him.

"You have no manners, I am your mom—sister." Suizi almost slipped up, struggling with the complicated relationship.

Chen Tong’s eyes brightened, and he ran towards Suizi, the door ajar behind her letting out the flood of light from the stage, and he dashed towards the light with all his might.

"You should still stay with that uncle..." Luoluo started to speak but hesitated, then after some thought, suggested sensibly.

"I will not!" Chen Tong ran over.

"Arguing with children, you surely are becoming more impressive the longer you live," Suizi retorted, still sounding confrontational in her conversation with him, but Chen Tong detected the affection in her tone. This treatment was reserved for family.

"I will cherish you as long as you behave," Chen Tong told the two little ones.

"No need."

The boy and girl twins said in unison, their "first encounter" evidently not too amicable.

"You should get along with your brother. He’s not the brother he was before," Suizi knew the twins had a bad impression of Chen Tong.

The previous Chen Tong wasn’t raised by her and could hardly be considered related to her.

This one was the son she had raised; after more interactions in the future, the children would naturally have to get along peacefully.

"I am not their brother!" Chen Tong protested, not wanting to be considered her junior.

"Isn’t he an uncle?" the twins were also confused.

"Uh... let’s just watch the play," Suizi gave up on trying to explain.

Before the door to the Theater closed, Luoluo glanced back at Uncle Chen returning to the doorway and muttered softly, "Chen Tong, if you don’t stay with him, you’ll certainly regret it."

"Yeah," Bobo nodded, agreeing with his sister.

Once the play was over and the wind had died down, Suizi hurriedly led the children home. Chen Tong also wanted to follow them back, but his Uncle Chen still needed to go to the hospital for another check-up, so he had to accompany him.

Suizi first drove Uncle Chen and Chen Tong to the hospital, then took care of Ma Dong’s wound on his forehead again, before returning to the Theater to pick up the children.

Before parting ways with Chen Tong, Suizi cautioned him not to run off and to wait until after the storm had completely passed for it to be safe, then she would come to pick him up and bring him home to talk.

At their separation, Chen Tong was particularly happy.

Being invited to her home meant she still acknowledged him and was willing to see him.

That was a joy he wouldn’t trade for the whole world.

Suizi had initially thought that it was just an ordinary storm, and only realized at night while watching the news that the storm had caused 2 deaths and 3 injuries, and was already considered a natural disaster.

While watching the news, Wang Cuihua felt a shudder of fear, grateful that Suizi had been lucky and sturdy; if it hadn’t been for Ma Dong’s push, Suizi might have also ended up in the news.

Ma Dong earned another feather in his cap for the family, though at no small cost.

The injury on his head, which Suizi originally thought wouldn’t need stitching, still ended up receiving several stitches.

"I don’t know whether scar cream will be able to remove it," Wang Cuihua sighed regretfully. If it couldn’t be removed, wouldn’t the good-looking young man be disfigured?

In the Yu Family, a family of handsome men and beautiful women known for their exceptional looks, Ma Dong wasn’t the least attractive. When he grew up, he would definitely be a handsome fellow.

"It’s fine, my hair will cover it, and I’m a man, I don’t care about my appearance," Ma Dong said nonchalantly.

Suizi sighed.

"The scar cream might lighten it a bit, but it will definitely leave a scar."

Grandma Ma, just like her grandson, didn’t care either, and even felt happy to have been able to help Suizi, both of them being grateful and wishing to return the favor.

But Suizi’s family, especially Suizi herself, found it hard not to mind.

If that wall had fallen just a bit more, the child would have been gone.

This was a relationship forged at the risk of life.

"A rich and noble person should have some scars around the eyes, so Heaven won’t grow jealous and take them away. This is a good thing, now he’ll have a smooth future."

Wang Cuihua could only comfort herself by looking on the bright side.

"But speaking of which, we should hurry up with changing the child’s name. I’ve discussed it with his grandma, and we should pick a name to enhance his luck—" Wang Cuihua whispered in a voice so low that only Suizi could hear, "We can do it when we change the household registration, to avoid trouble when he starts school."

Suizi nodded, agreeing with the idea.

Although Suizi already had a name in mind for the child, she still politely asked her mother-in-law:

"Mom, do you have any good names in mind? If you can’t think of any, then I—"

"I’ve already thought of one. I’ve been calculating for the past few days and finally came up with a great character."

"Uh—" Suizi was instantly regretful. Why did she even bother with pleasantries? If her mother-in-law came up with a strange name, rejecting it would hurt feelings. She would have been better off deciding on the spot.

"Look at this."

With her hand, Wang Cuihua traced a character in the palm of Suizi’s hand.

"What do you think of this character? It’s easy to pronounce and with excellent augury — grand and beneficial to the world, a sign of prosperity and wealth."

"...Cloud?"

"Right, it signifies the abundant auspicious energy of heaven and earth, enjoying the blessings bestowed by Heaven, filled with auspicious signs everywhere. It wasn’t easy to come up with something suited to his fate, and in the future, he will surely not lack money."

"...Yes, not lacking money, and might even become the wealthiest, but we can’t use this name."

Because it sounded all too familiar.

In the end, they used the name "Zicheng" that Suizi had thought of.

Suizi felt this child had the qualities of a noble from a young age, dealing with matters transparently and honorably. The name seemed quite fitting, implying a bright future, hoping that his life from then on would never lack the shine of light and that he would warm the world like light itself.

Wang Cuihua went through several names and was barely satisfied, but she actually preferred the character "Cloud."

The next day, the weather returned to normal.

On her way to school, Suizi still saw broken trees, but by the time she came back from school the streets were back to normal. She thought about going over to Chen Tong’s house to pick him up since they had rushed the day before and there had been many things she hadn’t discussed with him in detail.

But upon arriving at Chen Tong’s home, she received tragic news.
