Kapitel 3: Her Name will be...

Xianyi got lost in her old memories.

"Yes, they are old, I will live to the fullest here," it was the only thought she had and determined to fulfill it, although babies are quite expressive, that doesn't apply to newborns, and this discovery left her father dumbfounded, by the look of determination, he saw in the little newborn baby eyes, but he dismissed that kind of thought, and for a moment he thought he was crazy.

He moved closer and closer to Xianyi; she was on edge; she didn't know if her father would love her, or if he would try to kill her.

"Then, you are my daughter from now on. You will be the little princess of the house. Come with Daddy..." He finished telling her while he took her from the nurse delicately.

Xianyi felt so emotional, "This life, I will enjoy fatherly love," with tears in her eyes, but without making a noise, she showed a horrible smile to her new father. Horrible because her face was full of tears and toothless gums.

"Oh, she is smiling at me, it's amazing. You'll be a beautiful Young Lady when you grow up, hmm... I'll have to watch out for those wolves in sheep's clothes, yes I will. My princess can only have the best of the best."

The man delighted with his daughter, the one who showed him no fear at the sight of his serious and terrifying face that could frighten any baby.

That was what happened to his firstborn, and second son, leaving them in tears, and not knowing what to do, he returned them to the nurse. After being bitten twice, he did not hold them again until they stopped being afraid of her face.

The firstborn got used to her face when he was 3 years old, the second son when he was 5 years old, but seeing his princess without fear at the first meeting, he felt proud and excited and his face showed a smile that no one had ever seen before.

Of course, except for the mother of his sons and daughter, his wife has been the first woman he has ever smiled at, the only woman he has ever been close to, because of his dislike of women, tired of them because they throw themselves at him, even being married.

The little girl, surprised to see her new Daddy proud of the smile she showed him, and felt a sense of satisfaction within her, but struck by how attractive this new father is.

Even more so when he smiled, it was as if the flowers lost their glamour, as if the sun lost its brilliance, the man in front of her was glowing with a golden light, a beautiful sight, not beautiful in the feminine sense, but in the manly sense.

She knew that in this life, everything would change, everything would be different, but even more so, she found herself satisfied with what would happen.

Xianyi wanted to have a home, she wanted to experience a couple's love that was reciprocal, and not unilateral or that someone would use her, and she knew she could do it here.

For that reason she felt she should thank the light female voice that sent her here, although it was painful the price with the light coming into her, it was worth it, to see this man that with just a smile from her, she becomes joyful.

"My Lord, she needs a name," said helplessly the weak woman on the bed as she saw the satisfaction and pride her husband has in seeing his daughter smile at him.

"Oh, right... Hmm...." The man thinking what to call her.

After almost an hour, holding her and thinking about her name, he only said a few words, "She has green eyes and golden hair... Hmm..." and kept thinking.

"AHA! Her adult name will be Mei-Ling; Mei as 'Beautiful' and Ling as 'Piece of Sparkle Jade', their name together 'Beautiful Piece of Sparkle Jade'. And her baby's name will be Ling; Tinkling."

"OH!" everyone was astonished to see him give his daughter another name and to think that when he saw his first two children's names came on the spot, but his daughter's which had a different name before he pondered more than an hour to give her a better one.

Little Xianyi... No, it lets call her little Ling from now on; satisfied with her name, but she did not know what her surname was. That moment when she was thinking about how to find out, she heard her father's laughter.

"HA-HA, today is a day to celebrate in a big way, all the servants get 1 silver coin!"

It overjoyed the servants to see their Master cheerful and handing out rewards.

"I Long Feng, today I am happy to introduce my daughter Long Mei Ling to the world."

When he was rejoicing with his daughter in his arms, he forgot that he still had her and squeezed her little body a little, but she only frowned for a few seconds without crying or showing discomfort.

When her mother saw this was astonished because she was going to stop her husband, but when she saw the look of astonishment and admiration in her daughter's eyes.

The woman could not believe that her daughter's eyes were full of vitality and wisdom.

"So, my last name is Long, like a dragon? YEAH! I like my name. Thank you, Daddy," expressed little Ling in her mind. She let out a giggle, which was heard by everyone. And it distracted them from their joy but left them stunned for a few seconds because of the angelic giggle that was heard. A giggle so pure that cleanses even the soul.

Her father, upon hearing it, realized that she still had her in his arms, and being a powerful man, in his emotion he does not measure his strength.

He looked his daughter directly in the eyes and what he saw amazed him, and he was even happier, he saw admiration and dependence in those beautiful green eyes, but upon seeing that he realized that apart from the green color that is the most striking, there are golden traces in them. But a bright gold. That reminded him of his grandfather, who had the same color as eyes.

"She will be Grandfather's successor," Lord Long stated seriously. And the moment the Lord said that all the servants and the baby's mother became shocked and lowered their heads trembling a little from fear.

Ling Ling was a little confused. "Grandfather? Your grandfather or mine?" That was what her eyes were telling.

Lord Long, seeing the confusion in his daughter's eyes, did not know whether to laugh or cry for so much wisdom shown in her eyes.

But apparently, he understood her confusion, and so he explained, "Your Great-Grandfather, you will be his successor, you will understand when you grow up since you have the same eye color, you have not developed the golden color very well, but as you do, it will be more clear, and more dangerous, so you must train to be strong and protect yourself when I cannot do it." He spoke in a very low voice in which only Ling Ling could hear.

As she understood her father's explanation, she touched her eyelids with wonder and curiosity, a very flexible movement of a newborn, but that is not what amazed her father, but the fact that she touched her eyes the moment he explained to her about their color.

At this moment his heart was pounding with excitement, but also fear, the excitement that his daughter would be a genius, but fear that he could not protect her forever, as she would have to go on her own journey.

"Sigh, my child, don't grow up so fast. You can stay as long as you want at this size. I will not get angry." A slightly depressed Lord Long about his daughter's future in which he will have to part with her.

In response to her father's murmurs Ling Ling just smiled and giggled, stretching out her little arms to her father's face, he was certain; she wanted to touch his face; he leaned a little to the height of her small arms, and she touched his cheeks, as a sign of coaxing him and make him feel better, pulling his hair a little to reach his face, her father cupped and ducked his head more, and she placed a kiss on his cheek.

Stunned, Lord Long didn't know what to do but stand there petrified at the display of affection coming from his daughter.

No one was watching them except the baby's mother, who, like her husband, had the same reaction.

Regaining their senses, worried they both saw that the servants were with their heads down and Lord Long frowned with doubt but remembered what he said about his grandfather and his daughter, thankful that they did not see what happened because there would be big problems if they see their daughter is smarter than any other baby, much worse than any other newborn.
