"Mm." Xiang Ting nodded firmly. Afraid that Xu Nianhua would suspect something, she snuggled in Xu Nianhua's arms and called out, "Mom."
Her meaning seemed to be: I call you Mom, I take my mother's surname.
"Nianhua, this child is really close to you. In my opinion, she may as well take Yicheng's surname, so she won't have to ask in the future why she uses her mother's surname." Fang Manyin said with a smile.
It's not that a child can't use the mother's surname, but it's rare these days. To save Tingting from being talked about at school, it's best to change her surname to Pei.
"Do you want to?" Xu Nianhua consulted Xiang Ting's opinion and said, "You call me Mom, then my husband is your dad. His surname is Pei. Do you want to use Dad's surname, Pei?"
Xiang Ting shook her head.
"Xu Ting sounds nice, too. Let's just call her Xu Ting." Pei Yicheng's eyes flickered and his gaze landed on Xiang Ting's small face, full of meaning.
