The Family of Time Travel Has an Ugly Wife

Shan Yu had said that all men were the same, but in the end, he was a little fonder of his own son. When naming him, he insisted on giving him the same surname as Wan Qiu.

It was all because ‘Wan’ sounded better than ‘Shan’.

When Shan Yu was trying to name Shan Yun before, he had been thinking about giving him Wan Qiu’s surname. But Wan Qiu didn’t like it, so he had to give a way even if it didn’t sound good. It was all for Wan Qiu’s happiness. Now~

He thought it was better to pick one that sounded nicer.

The elders of the Shan family didn’t know what to say. Father Shan frowned and asked Shan Yu, “Do you have a problem with our surname? Are you wronged by being reincarnated in my family?”

Shan Yu held the little one, who was just one month old, and with his grandfather, mother, and wife all present, he expressed his feelings to his father: “If possible, I would like to let him take his mother’s surname.”

Father Shan said, “Smelly boy!”

“My daughter-in-law has just given birth. Don’t be so loud, or you might scare him,” Mother Shan advised Father Shan, taking Wan Qiu’s hand and saying softly, “Logically, the child belongs to you and your wife. Whoever wants the surname is fine, and there’s nothing much to say from your mother. But you know our family has a big business, so bad words might come if the child doesn’t take the father’s surname… What do you think?”

There was no doubt that Wan Qiu had absolute freedom and personal independence with Shan Yu. Wan Qiu also loved and respected Shan Yu very much, and even the elders had to soften their attitude and not beat Shan Yu to death on the spot, as to not scare Wan Qiu’s soft heart.

Wan Qiu still wanted their child to take Shan Yu’s surname. After all, it was his husband’s child he had given birth after ten months of pregnancy. Shan Yu really done nothing except the work for making it. The relationship between father and son, apart from the continuous family ties, was the surname.

“Husband, mother is right,” Wan Qiu felt that the child was a link between him and Shan Yu. Letting the child take Shan Yu’s surname would give him a special feeling of happiness, so he said sincerely, “I think his surname should be Shan.”

Father Shan and Mother Shan were surprised: “!”

Wan Qiu was such a good daughter-in-law to his parents-in-law. The year-end bonus would be doubled and promoted~

Shan Yu shook his head in disagreement and said, “No, the child must have the same surname as Wan Qiu. I’ve already thought of a name. Let’s call him Wan Ziyin. How about that?”

Everyone looked at him and thought he was not very good.

Grandpa Shan remained silent for a long time and then said to Shan Yu, “When Wan Qiu gave birth, the plum blossoms had bloomed. I don’t know how much the plum tree in the yard had been crushed by the petals. That tree had been there when your mother was pregnant with you. Your father had planted it with his own hands. It had never bloomed so profusely in all these years. There is a saying that the plum blossoms bloom with the cold flowers and sing in the evening, so why not just call him Wanyin (evening chants)? As for the surname, since they are from our Shan family, the surname must be Shan. Your wife has agreed, so don’t be stubborn. If you behave like this, people might think you don’t like the child.”

As luck would have it, this last sentence had struck deep in Wan Qiu’s heart.

When they named Yun’er, Shan Yu didn’t want the child to have his surname, and now he didn’t want it either.

In Wan Qiu’s case, he was always sensitive, and he just finished confinement. It was the time when he needed his husband’s love and understanding. He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, bit his lip, and asked Shan Yu, “Husband, what do you mean? Do you dislike the child I gave birth? If you don’t want to, I’ll let him have someone else’s surname.”

Shan Yu immediately became anxious: “Why should my child have someone else’s surname?”

“Aren’t you unwilling?”

“Why would I be unwilling?”

“But you won’t let him have your surname?” Wan Qiu asked.

“I just think your surname is nice.” Shan Yu replied.

“Doesn’t it mean you don’t want to leave your surname to the child?” Wan Qiu continued.

Wan Qiu was about to cry, and Shan Yu hurriedly said, “You just gave birth; don’t cry, be careful not to hurt your eyes. If you want my surname, then he should have my surname. Don’t show me your tears at every turn. Those who don’t know will think I’m bullying you.”

Wan Qiu nestled in Shan Yu’s arms and punched him, “You are just bullying me.”

Shan Yu stroked Wan Qiu’s hair and chuckled, “I never did.”

.

Dusk clouds flew across the sky, the sunset in the west, and the good days had just begun.

Shan Wanyin only stayed with Wan Qiu until he was more than two years old. Just like Shan Yun before him, he was taken back to the Shan family mansion to be raised with his brother.

Wan Qiu had been reluctant to let go, but he never read and didn’t know how to educate children. Shan Yu also very busy working every day, so it was the best choice to keep their children close to their elders.

Shan Yu suggested, “If you want to have more children, how about we move back home?”

When they first moved out, he was worried that Wan Qiu wouldn’t be able to adapt. Shan Yu wanted to give him some free space. Now, after so many years of getting along, Wan Qiu had adjusted well with the elders in his family, so it was only a matter of time before they moved back home.

Initially, Wan Qiu had been a little nervous, but once he moved back, he found it was not as difficult as he had thought.

The ancestral house of the Shan family was located on the hillside surrounded by lush green trees. Grandpa Yaba lived in a medicine farm on the top of the mountain. Not to mention the feng shui of the entire mountain was nurturing, and the environment was truly good.

Grandpa Shan liked quiet and didn’t like to be disturbed by others. The same had gone for Father Shan and Mother Shan. Although they all lived together, they lived in separate households. Only on Sundays, when Shan Yu was off work, did they get together for a family dinner.

It was a very healthy, harmonious, and comfortable family relationship, and Wan Qiu was secretly happy.

As for the two children…

Yun’er was only a little over two years old when he arrived here, which was the age to recognize people. He was very dependent on Grandpa Shan, having only one meal at home with his parents, then calling for his great-grandfather. Later, Wanyin followed in his older brother’s footsteps.

Wan Qiu was helpless; Shan Yu was happy to have someone to coax his children, and he took Wan Qiu to enjoy life to the fullest.

.

On this day, Lian Zhou climbed over the wall from his back garden to look for Wan Qiu again, frightening the two people who were doing sneaky things.

“Holy crap! You guys are too much! This is an open space!” Lian Zhou fell from the wall and landed on the blooming crab-apple flower, rolling red mud all over it. He pointed to Shan Yu and Wan Qiu and said, “Shameless!”

Shan Yu wrapped Wan Qiu, who was too shy to look at anyone, with a blanket and frowned, saying, “Some family won’t even let you climb over the wall. This is my own home, there is nothing wrong with us.”

“It’s just a matter of climbing over the wall. Why do I have to take a detour and go through the door? Ask Wan Qiu to go back and put on his clothes. I have something to tell you.”

Shan Yu put Wan Qiu behind, bent down, and handed him the clothes scattered on the ground. He then asked Lian Zhou, “What’s the matter?”

“I wanted to study abroad. I’m leaving today.”

Lian Zhou wanted to leave so suddenly. Shan Yu and Wan Qiu asked about his departure, but they didn’t discover the reason.

When he came to the airport, Lian Zhou, wearing a black windbreaker, lit a cigarette. The corners of his narrow eyes turned red for a moment before the redness disappeared.

Something flashed through Shan Yu’s mind, and he held Wan Qiu’s hand tightly.

“Husband, what’s wrong?”

“……fine.”

Love was something that could never be forced. There were very few lovers who eventually got married like Shan Yu and Wan Qiu.

The night sky was dark, and the stars were bright.

Shan Yu embraced Wan Qiu, and they were bathed in the cool moonlight. Walking forward slowly to the direction of home.

“Wan Qiu…”

“Um?”

“Let’s go on like this for the rest of our lives.” Shan Yu stopped, lowered his head, and met Wan Qiu’s eyes. Their noses touched, their breaths blended, and he said warmly, “Let’s grow old together, okay?”

“…Not good.” Wan Qiu hooked his arms around Shan Yu’s neck, bit his lip, and whispered, “To grow old is too short, and a lifetime is too short. I want to never be separated from my husband for the rest of my life…”

They wanted to stay together and love each other forever and ever.
