"But... but, in other families, children take their father's surname. My younger brother takes my father's surname, but I take my mom's. Is it because my dad doesn't like me that he doesn't let me take his surname?"
"Tsk!"
Gu Junhao felt a headache coming on. How was he supposed to answer this question?
He didn't know why the couple had a whim to have one child with the Qiao surname and the other with the Lu surname.
Isn't this a clear push for division?
After thinking for a moment, he began to spin some tale.
"Of course not. It's because your mommy likes you too much, and she didn't want you to take your father's surname. Your mommy's surname is Qiao, and so is yours, which means she likes you even more. If you don't believe me, ask your mom when we get back."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yi's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. I'm the great hero who saved you, and great heroes don't lie."
At his words, Xiao Qiao Yi indeed cheered up.
