Chapter 411 The Right to Name the Child Was Stolen [Two Chapters Combined, Please Subscribe]
"What? Are you trying to eat people this early in the morning?"
At 7:30 in the morning, Li Zhixuan was surrounded by four pregnant women as soon as he got up and went downstairs. Apart from Pei Zhuxuan, the other three looked unfriendly.
The others sat on the other side of the restaurant, watching the spectacle unfold.
Seeing this, Li Zhixuan carefully retreated to the sofa and sat down. The four pregnant women also moved closer to the sofa, still surrounding him.
Li Zhixuan said helplessly, "What exactly do you want? Can't you just talk? Stop staring at me like that, it's making me uneasy."
"Hmph!" Jessica Jung said with a straight face, "I heard you've chosen a name?"
"Huh?" Li Zhixuan was stunned, not understanding what Zheng Xiuyan meant for a moment.
Seeing this, Jessica Jung stepped onto the sofa, leaned forward, and stared fiercely into Lee Chi-hsuan's eyes, asking again, "I heard you named the baby in Eileen's belly?!"
Jessica Jung is heavily pregnant, and she's still doing these kinds of moves. What if she loses her balance and falls?
So Li Zhixuan quickly got up and picked up Zheng Xiuyan in a princess carry before sitting on the sofa. He looked helplessly at Bae Zhuxuan and asked, "Big Head, did you show off to them?"
Bae Joo-hyun wasn't ashamed at all, and retorted with a stiff neck, "Is naming your son something shameful? Why can't we talk about it? Jessica unnie is due in two or three months, shouldn't you name the baby in her belly?"
“Exactly!” Jessica Jung immediately nodded in agreement. “My son’s name? The eldest doesn’t even have a name yet, and the second one already has one! Is that right? Hurry up and name my son!”
They were all pregnant women, and all the eldest children; Li Zhixuan couldn't afford to offend any of them. He could only helplessly say, "Oh well, none of you have given birth yet, so what difference does it make whose child we name first?"
"I don't care, you hurry up and give the boss a name!"
“I came up with three names last night. Joo-hyun chose one, so why don’t you just choose another one?”
Upon hearing this, Jessica Jung became furious, pointing to her stomach and saying, "Li Zhixuan! You mean he only deserves to call other people's leftover names, is that it?"
This is too much of a accusation! Li Zhixuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no! It's definitely not! It's just naming a child, right? Let's name one! Right now! No rush, we have everything!"
While comforting Jessica Jung, Lee Chi-hsuan also made sure to reassure Yoona and Jeon Boram.
Seeing this, the six women in the restaurant felt exhausted for him, and his colleagues almost burst out laughing.
Serves you right for being such a womanizer! Hehe~
At this moment, Bae Joo-hyun suddenly interrupted Lee Chi-hyun's train of thought: "Wait a minute! My son's name also needs to be changed."
"Why?" Li Zhixuan suspected that Pei Zhuxuan was deliberately tormenting him.
Bae Joo-hyun didn't explain, but instead turned to look at Im Yoon-ah.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yoona said to Li Zhixuan, "You have so many children, shouldn't there be a generational name? And all three of you brothers are named Li something-xuan, so what generational name is your son's? It's not appropriate for you to name Eileen's son Li Yichen, is it?"
Upon hearing Lin Yoona mention the concept of generational names, Li Zhixuan scratched his head and said, "I didn't know. Are there generational names?"
In his memory, Li Zhengxian and his wife had never mentioned the matter of generational names to him, nor could he find it in the original owner's memories.
Yoona frowned: "A family as big as yours can't possibly be without generational names, right?"
"Um... I'll call and ask."
As he spoke, Li Zhixuan took out his phone and called Li Zhengxian: "Dad, does our family have a generational naming system? What generation are my sons in?"
"Of course! My great-great-grandfather set out sixteen generational names: Chongli Shangwen, Xianxuan Xixu. Shouzheng Kaixin, Shize Changcun. So you belong to the Xuan generation, and your son belongs to the Xi generation. Are you going to name your child?"
"Yes."
"No way!" Li Zhengxian's serious tone was tinged with a hint of excitement.
Li Zhixuan asked in bewilderment, "Why? I can't even name my son?"
"I'm the one who should name my grandson, not you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhixuan objected and asked, "Then who named us three brothers?"
"Your grandfather!"
"..."
Since it's always the grandfather who names his grandson, what else is there to say about Li Zhixuan?
Okay! I give up!
When Li Zhixuan fell silent, Li Zhengxian laughed and then asked excitedly, "Tell me quickly, how many boy names and how many girl names do you want?"
That's just a platitude! All they want to know is how many grandsons they have.
Li Zhixuan smiled slightly: "Let's start with five boy names!"
"Five?!"
Lee Jung-hyun was overjoyed. Lim Yoon-ah was pregnant with twins, while the other three pregnant women were each carrying one child, making a total of five children!
Now that Li Zhixuan wants five boy names, doesn't that mean all five children are boys?
Five grandsons all at once?!
This news was so explosive! Li Zhengxian's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He even wanted to call someone to bring him nitroglycerin to prevent him from having a heart attack from the excitement.
Just then, Li Zhixuan spoke again on the other end of the phone: "Give me five more girl names."
???
Li Zhengxian was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened!
It was intentional! It was definitely intentional! How dare he play me! This son is such a coward!
Just now, Li Zhengxian's heart was pounding with excitement, but now it's pounding with anger. He gritted his teeth and said with a dark face, "Five of each? Do we really need that many?!"
"hey-hey!"
Hearing the unfriendly tone from the other end, Li Zhixuan remained calm and smugly said, "If we can't use them now, we can save them for later. I have so many women, and each of them has a child with one. These ten names aren't enough."
"Wait!"
Li Zhengxian angrily hung up the phone and then called his secretary to bring in a Chinese dictionary.
Korean script, also known as Hangul, is a phonetic script, essentially a form of spelling. Therefore, South Koreans typically include a Chinese name on their ID cards; otherwise, there would be far too many people with the same name across the country.
Since you're going to choose a Chinese name, you should carefully consult the dictionary and select names with auspicious meanings.
While Li Zhengxian was busy coming up with names, Li Zhixuan was surrounded by pregnant women.
"What happened? What did your uncle say?"
With the task of naming the child taken away, Li Zhixuan is now completely relaxed.
“My dad said that my next generation will have the character ‘Xi’ in their names. Also, it’s up to him, as the grandfather, to name the child. If any of you are in a hurry to name your son, you can call him to urge him.”
Upon hearing this, the four pregnant women looked at each other and quieted down.
Even though each of them now possesses more than one "get-out-of-jail-free card," none of them dare to call Li Zhengxian.
Seeing that they had quieted down, Li Zhixuan laughed happily, then picked up Zheng Xiuyan and headed towards the restaurant. He asked, "My beloved concubines, where shall we go for fun later?"
"What are you going to do? Look at the weather outside."
Hearing Jessica Jung's words, Lee Chi-hsuan turned to look out the window and realized it was snowing outside. The snowflakes were quite large, almost like a blizzard. "Wow! It should be spring already, why is it snowing again? Is this a late spring cold snap?"
Li Zhixuan was taken aback, then said to the women, "How about I take you to Sanya? It's warm there."
Those who weren't pregnant naturally had no objections, but they were also embarrassed to express their thoughts so as not to put the pregnant women in a difficult position.
Sure enough, Jessica Jung immediately told Li Zhixuan, "My back hurts, I don't want to fly."
"Alright, then let's stay here for now."
After breakfast, Li Zhixuan carried Zheng Xiuyan back to her room to massage her back.
Of course, you can ask someone else to do this, whether it's Krystal Jung, Tae-yeon Kim, or a professional masseuse; theoretically, any of those options are fine.
However, Jessica Jung is pregnant with Li Zhixuan's child, so the feeling of being massaged by someone else is definitely different from that of being massaged by Li Zhixuan.
To make the pregnant woman happy, Li Zhixuan would personally do everything he could.
Jessica Jung's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Not only has she started to have back pain, but her ankles have also started to swell. Her once slender and sexy ankles have now become white and chubby.
Although these are all normal occurrences, it's still quite heartbreaking to see.
Later on, it's not just the ankles that swell; the feet and even the hands may swell as well.
To alleviate this situation, pregnant women can take walks, receive warm compresses, or have their legs elevated.
Taking a walk isn't feasible given the weather, and Jessica Jung also has back pain, so the latter two options are the only viable options.
After Li Zhixuan's attentive care, Zheng Xiuyan felt comfortable and fell asleep again with her eyes closed.
Seeing this, Li Zhixuan covered her with the blanket and then tiptoed out of the room.
"Where are Hyomin and the others?"
There were only three pregnant women, Kim Tae-yeon, and Jung Soo-jung in the living room. Park Hyo-min, Ham Eun-jung, Kim So-jung, and Shin Yuna were nowhere to be seen.
"Hyomin and the others went out shopping and took photos."
It's snowing outside, so the pregnant woman can't go out. Firstly, she's worried about the slippery ground; if she falls and miscarries, that would be terrible. Secondly, Jeju Island is surrounded by the sea, and snow means wind; if she catches a cold, that would be troublesome too.
Pregnant women couldn't go out, but non-pregnant women weren't worried. Staying at the resort all the time was too boring, so Park Hyo-min and the others went out shopping and took some photos while it was snowing.
Since Yoona and the others couldn't go out, they just stayed in the living room watching TV.
How boring!
Li Zhixuan also felt bored and thought it would be better to go to work.
Suddenly, the trailer for "Crash Landing on You" started playing on TV.
It will premiere in three days!
Upon seeing this, Lim Yoona was somewhat surprised: "Huh? 'What's Wrong with Secretary Kim' and 'Descendants of the Sun' haven't even aired yet, and 'Crash Landing on You' is already going to air?"
In response, Li Zhixuan explained, "The TV station naturally has its own considerations; it can broadcast whenever it wants."
Generally speaking, Korean dramas are filmed and broadcast simultaneously, so that if viewers are dissatisfied with one or more plot points, changes can be made later.
However, Star Entertainment adopted a production-before-air model for these TV series. Besides confidence in the quality of their work, the more important reason was that Li Zhixuan wanted to manipulate Li Zhiwen.
In order to allow "Crash Landing on You" to air first, Lee Chi-hin deliberately postponed "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" and "Descendants of the Sun".
So far, Jung Min-ah has "helped" Lee Chi-moon "steal" five TV drama scripts.
Besides "Crash Landing on You," there's also "The Penthouse," "The World of the Married," "Dark Glory," and "Intra-Company Blind Date."
"What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" and "Descendants of the Sun" will air after these five dramas.
Li Zhixuan has contributed both money and effort to help Li Zhiwen launch the "Down with Xuan Movement" as soon as possible. Hopefully, Li Zhiwen will not let him down.
"Ding ~"
Suddenly, Li Zhixuan's phone rang. He took it out and glanced at it, then frowned deeply.
Seeing this, Kim Tae-yeon asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Li Zhixuan explained with a somewhat serious expression, "There's been an accident at the logistics park construction site, I have to go check it out."
Something happened at the logistics park construction site? Could someone have died?
The women's hearts tightened, and Jung Soo-jung asked, "Do you want to come with us?"
"No need, it's freezing outside, and the scene... so you should stay at the resort."
What happened? Did someone really die?
The five women hurriedly reminded Li Zhixuan to be careful.
Afterwards, Li Zhixuan changed his clothes and went out.
A dozen minutes later, he arrived at a hot spring resort and met Park Soo-young, who was wearing a black bikini and soaking in the hot spring bath in a luxury suite.
Upon seeing Li Zhixuan arrive, Park Sooyoung stood up from the bathtub with a splash, spun around in the water, and asked happily, "Oppa, do you like this swimsuit?"
Li Zhixuan didn't answer. Instead, he took off his clothes and went into the bath. Then he put his arm around Park Sooyoung's slightly chubby waist, which felt amazing to the touch, and said, "I lied to Yoona, Irene, Boram, Taeyeon, and Soojung just to see you. If they find out, I'm dead."
Upon hearing this, Park Soo-young was secretly delighted, but on the surface she said obediently, "It's all my fault. I will make it up to you."
"How to compensate?"
"Um……"
With a blush, Park Soo-young performed an underwater swimming routine.
Fearing she might drown, Li Zhixuan quickly pulled her up and sat her down by the pool.
After a busy period, Park Soo-young leaned against Lee Ji-heon, exhausted, and said with a slight tremor in her body, "Oppa, before I sent you the message, Irene unnie asked us in our Red Velvet group chat if we wanted to film a movie. Did you ask Irene unnie to ask that?"
"Well, it's to make it up to you."
"Can I also play the lead role?"
"As long as your acting is passable, that's fine."
Park Soo-young was secretly delighted; there was definitely a benefit to be had!
"Yerin also wants to be an actress, but Seulgi unnie and Wendy unnie aren't interested in acting. Do you want to make it up to them?"
"In terms of music, Star Entertainment is relatively weak. If the two of them don't want to act, I can arrange variety shows for them. But if they insist on releasing songs, there's nothing I can do."
See? See? There's a clear difference between sleeping and not sleeping!
