Senior Master Xiang was manipulated into marrying his second wife.

He resented this and never shared a household registration with his second wife.

The two daughters his second wife bore him, until they were married, were also listed under their mother’s household registration.

As a result, only he and Lingyue were listed in his household registration.

From this, the Xiang family understood clearly that Lingyue’s position as the future heir of the family was now certain.

In the future, aside from Senior Master Xiang himself, Lingyue would be the most esteemed young master in the Xiang family!

When Lingyue woke up, Senior Master Xiang couldn’t wait to share the good news with him, showing him the newly printed household registration. “Xiao Yue, look, from now on, your name will be Xiang Lingyue. Although you haven’t completely broken ties with Ling Fangzhou, in the future, you can choose to associate with him if you wish and ignore him if you don’t. He is the one who wronged you and your mother. Just do whatever makes you happy, and don’t worry about anything else.”

Just because his daughter died trying to save Ling Fangzhou, Ling Fangzhou would owe him and Xiao Yue a debt he could never repay in his lifetime.

No matter what Xiao Yue’s attitude towards Ling Fangzhou was, Ling Fangzhou deserved it!

Lingyue stared at his new name on the household registration for a long time without speaking.

From now on… his name would be Xiang Lingyue.

He couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart.

Actually… he wasn’t happy.

Quite the contrary, he was rather upset.

No one can take the place of a father.

He once idolized Ling Fangzhou and held high expectations of him. When he suffered and was wronged, he always hoped that his father would emerge like a hero, suddenly appearing to help and protect him.

Although Ling Fangzhou disappointed him, he still felt sorrow for him.

Thinking about Ling Fangzhou giving him up for his other two children made his heart ache, and he felt an urge to cry from the injustice.

Now, it seemed like he had no connection left with Ling Fangzhou.

The two children still bear the Ling surname, and he, the Xiang surname…

Seeing Lingyue staring at the household registration without speaking, Senior Master Xiang felt anxious and asked nervously, “Xiao Yue, do you not like your new name?”

Gu Junzhu, standing on the other side of the sick bed, found Senior Master Xiang’s caution rather absurd.

If it wasn’t out of fear of Senior Master Xiang’s temper, he would have liked to capture this moment!

Who would have imagined, the greatly renowned Xiang Xiongyi, would have such a cowardly moment!

In the past, Senior Master Xiang always mocked his father for being too soft on his children, but now the tables have turned, ha-ha-ha.

Lingyue pulled himself back into reality.

He looked up, saw Senior Master Xiang’s nervous expression, and smiled, “No, I like it… but leave my mother’s surname as it is. My mother uses my grandma’s surname, and my grandma loved me and my mother very much.”

Senior Master Xiang felt a bit of regret.

He had wanted to change his daughter’s surname to “Xiang”, and then move her grave next to his first wife’s.

But now that Lingyue had spoken, he could only agree.

He never raised his daughter. He didn’t really have the right to change her surname or move her grave.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to face the woman who toiled to raise his daughter.

Putting aside his regret, he agreed: “All right, we’ll do as Xiao Yue wishes… Once your injuries have healed a bit, come home with me. In the future, it will be just the two of us. I will love you dearly as your grandfather, and compensate you for all the losses that you and your mother have suffered!”

Xiao Shu, who was silently awake, suddenly darted forward, positioning herself in front of Lingyue. Staring at Senior Master Xiang, she declared, “Brother Xiaoyue is mine! You’re not allowed to steal him! Whoever tries to take Brother Xiaoyue from me, I will let Lu Maomao bite them!”
