Chapter 228 - The Name

Wu Lina reassured him, "They are fine father. We are just coming from the hospital and the doctor said everything was progressing well."

The Chairman sighed so heavily that she could hear him on the phone. He made a mental note of buying three kid-cycles for them now for their forth birthday. He still had to buy gifts for their seventh birthday. But he had stopped buying clothes for them until their gender was revealed. He had already bought so many outfits that his secretary Bo Xilai actually scolded him one day. He had to make space to stash them in one of the room's at the Yang Mansion.

When the Chairman heard Wu Lina, he was overjoyed and instead of treating them, he invited himself over. "I am so glad Wu Lina and I thank God for that. Child, I will be coming in the evening to have dinner with you. Is it okay?"

"…"

"Actually there was so much work I had to do in the absence of Yang Xinyu that it has become tiring. The Yang mansion's butler has also left so I really want to have some home cooked meal now," said the Chairman. He was sounding like small child who was in a hostel and missed his mommy's handmade food.

Wu Lina said, "Okay father. Please come over. We will be waiting for you." Then after a pause she asked, "But what about our treat?"

The phone was disconnected at the word 'about'.

"..."

Wu Lina again laughed and informed Yang Xinyu about the Chairman's visit. Yang Xinyu smiled looking at the beaming face of his wife. He knew it will take time, but the bad memories will bury soon.

Back in the home they had lunch together. Mrs. Jiao had happily made many special dishes for Wu Lina, as she had seen her after a long time. When they were having lunch she said, "Young missus, please eat well and also feed young master properly. See how thin he has become after you had left him. He was hardly eating food, as he worried too much for you."

Yang Xinyu stared at Mrs. Jiao for speaking so much. Wu Lina hadn't realized that Yang Xinyu was actually looking thinner. His plump cheeks had sunken in these ten days and his eyes had dark circles beneath them. Mrs. Jiao left the dining room after her gaze met with that of Yang Xinyu's.

Wu Lina started peeling prawns for Yang Xinyu and kept them in his bowl one by one. Yang Xinyu said, "Wu Lina I want you to eat properly. I can feed myself."

But Wu Lina said, "Eat," and stubbornly kept her hands on the table while looking directly in his eyes, ready for a fight. To avoid any argument Yang Xinyu ate them quietly. Once he had eaten those, Wu Lina served him with rice noodles with pork and stir-fry vegetables, and said, "Eat" with the same expression. Once again Yang Xinyu ate those quietly.

When she had fed Yang Xinyu to her satisfaction, she picked her chopsticks and started eating. But Yang Xinyu was feeling like a puffed fish. His stomach had bloated to the extent that he was silently m.o.a.ning in pain due to acidity. He hated Mrs. Jiao for mentioning that he looked slimmer. He knew that the next few days he will be over stuffed at each and every meal like a chicken that is fed and made fatter before slaughter.

While Wu Lina ate her food comfortably, Yang Xinyu couldn't help burping continuously and it was getting out of hands. Wu Lina looked at him when he let out a loud burp. "Yang Xinyu, what are you doing? Where are your table manners? How could you burp on me?" she yelled at him.

Yang Xinyu looked at her with pity on his face. He closed his mouth with his hands and said, "I am sorry baby. I will go to the bedroom."

Wu Lina had a hard expression on her face when she waved him to leave.

In the bedroom Yang Xinyu had tough time stopping his burps. But when he did stop, Wu Lina entered. At once she shrank her nose. "Yang Xinyu, can you stop it?"

"Lina, I have no control. It is happening on its own," cried Yang Xinyu pitiably.

His agony ended in another half an hour much to Wu Lina's chagrin.

Finally when they were resting on the bed, Wu Lina remembered and said, "Xinyu, father has officially adopted me in Bulgaria and now my name is Lina Yankova. I don't want that name. Can we change it?"

Yang Xinyu's eyes were bloodshot. That menacing character had left Wu Lina with so many problems. 'Lina Yankova? How dare he? She is mine.'

"Don't worry, I will ask my lawyer to handle this matter soon and you will again be Wu Lina," he said to reassure her.

"But there is a problem. My adoptive father has removed me from his family registry, so I am just Lina Yankova now. I cannot be Wu Lina," she said with a sad expression.

Yang Xinyu was surprised. How could Wu Yi-Zheng do that? He came near Wu Lina and stroked her hair. "What do you want to do baby?" he asked softly.

"Can you make me Yang Lina?" she asked looking at his beautiful face.
