Chapter Text
Xie Lian had gotten his wealth back not that he missed it but it was nice finally eating a proper meal now, plus his San Lang is there for him every step he takes and will always protect him.
Although..he feels as if something is missing like a missing puzzle piece the maker had forgotten to package, he looks at his ring-- or Hua Cheng's ashes and desperately wants to call him but of course he knows he's busy
Meanwhile with Hua Cheng he also has that feeling of something missing, he would randomly think of the name 'Hua Ying', who was Hua Ying? He didn't know. So why is the name stuck in his head? He also didn't know.
Hua Cheng returned to Xie Lian and cuddled with him in their bed he liked little moments like this. Xie lian asked the serious question and no it wasn't divorce "San Lang, do you want a baby?" He asked stroking Hua Cheng's hair, Hua Cheng perked up and immediately answered 'yeah'
Question is...how? Xie Lian and Hua Cheng don't have uteruses so how? Easy, a surrogate luckily one of Xie Lian's followers Cangse Sanren is happy to be a surrogate though it was weird transferring the kid it was nice that they have a baby now
While they were waiting they might have done the 𝙋𝘼𝙋𝘼𝙋𝘼𝙋𝘼𝙋𝘼𝙋𝘼𝙋𝘼𝙋𝘼𝙋𝘼𝙋𝘼𝙋𝘼𝙋𝘼 one night and another and another up until 9 months later where Cangse Sanren is ready to pop, they were there of course along with her husband Wei Changze, a beautiful baby..girl? (HEADCANON) Oh how beautiful she is, Hua Cheng picked her up and named her "Hua Xian" "Thank you for your services Cangse Sanren, I shall reward you with eternal happiness or wealth" Xie Lian offered "I just want another child thank you" Cangse Sanren says gently "Very well, farewell and good luck" Xie Lian smiled then off to paradise manor with Hua Cheng
The past few months were amazing but hard, Xie Lian has to breastfeed Hua Xian yes it was awkward the first time but he got a hang of it, the other gods absolutely ADORED Hua Xian, bringing him all kinds of expensive gifts he probably won't use for another 2 years but Hua Xian's favorite gift is a rattle drum gifted by his father, Hua Cheng
6 years have gone by and Hua Xian is feeling uncomfortable when someone calls him crown princess or lady or miss "A-Xian honey why don't you like being called lady or miss?" Xie Lian asked an uncomfortable Hua Xian who was greeted as little lady by a guard "I don't like being a girl.." Hua Xian says which makes Xie Lian taken aback a little "Well what do you want to be A-Xian?" Xie Lian asked picking up the toddler "boy" Hua Xian says eyeing the street boys who were playing with each other "really? Do you want to change your name?" Xie Lian asked and Hua Xian nodded "would you like baba to pick your name?" Xie lian asked and Hua Xian nodded again
"Hua Ying"
"Your name is Hua Ying"
"Clever Flower"
"Illustrious bravery"
"my a-ying"
