696: Little Rice Dumpling

Little Rice Dumpling

It was breakfast time, and Ruan Qishan's eyelids were drooping down heavily. He wrote all the nicknames he had thought of during the night down on a piece of paper and said happily, "All the popular nicknames nowadays have the word 'Xiao' in them. I've decided to name my grandson with something similar as well."0

Ling Tianya picked up the piece of paper and she was speechless.

There were three words on the paper: Little Rice Dumpling!

No one spoke.

What the h*ll was a little rice dumpling?

Ling Tianya had assumed that Ruan Qishan would pick a sophisticated and meaningful nickname for the child in accordance to his own upbringing and knowledgable background. She didn't expect him to pick Little Rice Dumpling as the nickname according to the trends and what was 'in' at the moment!

When he saw the piece of paper, Ruan Zeyan frowned as well, also apparently dissatisifed.

"This is the name you decided on after spending a whole night researching?" Ruan Zeyan asked, raising hie eyebrows.

Ruan Qishan picked up the distaste in his son's tone and nodded gravely. "That's right!"

"Change it." Ruan Zeyan vetoed the name immediately, without sparing his father any formalities.

Ruan Qishan glared at him. "Tianya entrusted me with this task, so I call the shots here. He will have this nickname, and you're not allow to oppose it!"

Madame Ruan was listening. "Thank goodness he was only asked to give the child a nickname!" she thought to herself. It would be disastrous if he was entrusted with the official name of the child.

Ling Tianya didn't say anything and so, the name Little Rice Dumpling was confirmed.

Ruan Qishan grinned at Ling Tianya's tummy and raised the pitch of his voice. "Little Rice Dumpling, do you like the name that Grandpa picked for you?" Ruan Qishan's eyes were sparkling. "Little Rice Dumpling, Little Rice Dumpling, what a cute name."

When Ruan Qishan was talking to her tummy, Ling Tianya didn't know whether to laugh or cringe...

Suddenly, Ling Tianya's phone rang. The call was from Ling Tao. Ling Tianya answered immediately and asked, "Dad? What's the matter?"

"Yaya, is Tianxin over at your place?" Ling Tao asked hurriedly. He sounded worried.

Ling Tianya's heart dropped, and she quickly said, "Nope, Tianxin isn't here. What's happened? Isn't Tianxin supposed to be at home?"

"She's not here." Ling Tao was silent for a while before reassuring her. "Don't worry; she's probably playing in the backyard, and we just haven't found her yet. Tianxin rarely steps out of the house anyway, and she won't dare to go out on her own. Don't worry about it. I'll call you once we find her."

Ling Tao didn't tell Ling Tianya Madame Ling was missing as well. He didn't want to worry her excessively or get her too stressed out. She was pregnant after all. He already regretted calling her in the first place.

When he hung up, Ling Tianya was already starting to panic.

"What happened?" Ruan Zeyan asked.

"I think Tianxin is missing. I don't think Dad told me the whole truth because he wants to spare me the worry." Ling Tianya bit her lip nervously. Her heart was racing, and she was worried.

Ruan Zeyan grabbed her hands and called Du Gang in. "Arrange for someone to go the Ling villa and help my father-in-law look for Ling Tianxin."

Du Gang arranged for someone to go over immediately after receiving the orders.

Ruan Zeyan grabbed Ling Tianya's shoulder tightly and said, "Don't worry, Tianxin will be fine."

Ling Tianya nodded her head, but negative thoughts flooded her head. She had a strange feeling in her stomach, and her gut told her that something bad was going to happen.
