Chapter 686 - Turn Off the Lights (1/2)

Since they had received Su Xiaobei, there was no reason to stay in Jingcheng any longer.

So they immediately booked plane tickets and flew back to Xiahai at midnight. As it was late, Su Xiaobei fell asleep on Xiao Luo’s lap shortly after boarding the plane.

Looking at her peaceful and angelic face, Xiao Luo’s heart was filled with affection.

Su Li, who sat at the corner, was wearing an eye mask and resting. Her cold but elegant face was undeniably beautiful, especially her small lips, which made one’s imagination run wild.

“Honey, I have an immature suggestion for you,” Xiao Luo hesitated for a while, then turned around and whispered to her.

Su Li did not remove the mask and faintly answered, “What’s the suggestion?”

“We’ve been married. Although Xiaobei is not our biological daughter, we still treat her as such. Both of us will definitely raise her in her lifetime. However, when she grows up, she will realize that everyone has the same surname as her father, but she has the same surname as her mother. She will surely ask us this question when the time comes. Don’t you think so?” Xiao Luo said clearly.

Hearing this, Su Li removed her eye mask and looked at Xiao Luo with her beautiful eyes, getting the gist of what Xiao Luo was planning.

Xiao Luo continued, “I think we can avoid this awkward problem in advance. If we change Xiaobei’s surname to mine, she won’t have such questions in the future.”

“Change it to your surname? Xiao Xiaobei?”

Su Li’s brows furrowed. After considering it for a while, she immediately rejected it. If the surname is changed to ‘Xiao’, her name would not sound good when pronounced.”

“We can change her name. Xiaobei will use it as a nickname,” Xiao Luo suggested eagerly.

“So, what name have you decided on for her?” Su Li asked.

Xiao Luo shook his head and smiled. “Not yet. I said it was an immature suggestion.”

Indeed, he still had no idea yet, and it was just a sudden thought. Even if he wanted to change her name, he couldn’t change it randomly. In addition to the name itself sounding good, he also had to find a fortune-teller to check Su Xiaobei’s birth time and confirm if it was suitable.

“We can talk about it after you’ve thought it through,” Su Li said as she put the mask back on and closed her eyes to rest.

“So you don’t object?” Xiao Luo asked, surprised.

Su Li stared at him for a while before responding, “Why would I object?”

In the past, she was single; but now, she was married to a man that she appreciated and loved. So she thought it was quite good for Su Xiaobei to change her surname to ‘Xiao’. After all, she would have a child with Xiao Luo in the future, and the child would naturally follow Xiao Luo’s surname. They couldn’t let Su Xiaobei be different, right? If that was the case, wouldn’t they tell Su Xiaobei honestly that she wasn’t their biological daughter?

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows. “As long as you don’t object.”

Su Li was silent for a moment before she inquired, doubtful, “Why did you suddenly say that?”

Why did he suddenly say this?

‘Because Su Xiaobei is my biological daughter,’ Xiao Luo replied. It was a secret that had been really tough to keep. However, he didn’t dare utter these words. Although it wasn’t something that he could control, it was a fact of life that Su Xiaobei was his child and Su Li’s sister, Su Jing. If Su Li knew about this, how would she feel? How would she face such a weird relationship?

It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble this time, and he thought the result was quite good now. He considered talking to Su Li about it in the future.

He smiled and replied, “It’s not an abrupt idea. I had this thought for a long time. Now that it is time to ask for your opinion.”

Su Li slightly nodded her head, considering that what Xiao Luo said made sense.

Then, she took out an eye mask from his bag and said to Xiao Luo, “Do you want it?”

“Of course. Help me put it on.” Xiao Luo leaned forward to her.

Su Li glared at him with a pout on her lips and helped him wear it.

“Looks like I’ve gloriously become the third wheel.” When Shen Qingyan just opened her eyes after a nap, she happened to see this scene and couldn’t help but heaved a sigh of relief.

“Miss Shen, I’m so proud of you that you have such awareness!” Xiao Luo smiled.

Shen Qingyan was quite angered by this. She scolded, “Xiao Luo, you b*st*rd,” and then closed her eyes again and turned her head.
