The way the little guy smiled was very similar to Meng Lu, it was like he had given birth to a replica of himself.
Meng Yu thought about it and decided that he couldn't just keep calling her "little one"! He had to give her a name.
The first word that came to her mind was Qian, which carries the beautiful meaning of vigorous vitality. It also symbolizes a new beginning and infinite hope. She hopes that the little one can grow up healthily and live a life without illness or disaster.
Meng Qianqian, well, very good.
Meng Lu teased the little guy a bit, "Baby, how about you call yourself Meng Qianqian from now on? It sounds nice, right?"
The little guy smiled even sweeter, as if he really liked the name.
"Good Qianqian, you're so good."
When the little maid heard the sound of a baby in the lady's room, she thought she had misheard. But when she saw a little baby lying on the lady's bed, she was so shocked that she stood there in a daze.
"Miss...where did this child come from?"
"This is my daughter!"
"Ah?" The little maid was shocked. Even if the little snake was hatched, it should have a few days of evolution period. This is... too fast!
Not wanting to scare her, Meng Lu explained, "I heard there are genius children here who evolve after being left alone for a few hours. Then my precious daughter should be considered a genius among geniuses."
The maid nodded in agreement. "That's right, you must be referring to our Colonel, the fastest-evolving person born in the Empire. To this day, no child has surpassed this record."
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Miss, why don't you report the news of the young lady's evolution? The Imperial Orc evolution data will definitely be updated. When the young lady grows up, she may be admitted to the Military Academy as an exception."
Of course Meng Lu would not agree. If he reported it, someone would find out that she was a descendant of the rebel alliance. What if it threatened Qianqian's life?
As for the military academy mentioned by the little maid, she was very curious.
"Huh? The Military Academy is accepting female students!"
The little maid has a lot to say about this topic.
"Miss, you've asked the right person. I know a lot about the Military Academy."
"The Imperial Military Academy is a school that trains talents for the country; even colonels come from there.
There are many classes, especially the women's class, which started this year. Previously, there were no women's armies in the empire. However, the assessments are relatively strict. "Oh, I really want to go, but my mental strength is too poor."
As she spoke, the little maid began to look dejected.
"Can maids also participate?"
The maid nodded. "Orcs with S-level psychic power are numerous and weak, and most of them work as maids and servants in the homes of nobles or wealthy families. Some families have many restrictions, but here at the Colonel's, there are no restrictions at all. A few days ago, the butler received instructions from the Colonel that anyone who wants to take the military academy exam can go, and he will not stop them."
"Indeed, your colonel has a cold exterior but a kind heart."
"What are you discussing about me?"
There was a sudden sound outside the door, and Meng Lu and the maid were both startled.
"Why are you back so early?"
Rested took off his coat, and the maid took it with great tact and then went out.
"My family told me something was going on. Since I don't have too many things to do in the Federation today, I took the time to come back and see you."
Suddenly he noticed the little baby on the bed tilting his head and looking at him in shock.
"She...is your child?"
Meng Qi nodded. "Yes, she evolved not long after she hatched. Her name is Meng Qianqian. How about that? Nice, right?"
“It sounds nice.”
Qianqian was not afraid when she saw Resid. Instead, she was very curious about his clothes and reached out to touch them. Unfortunately, the distance was too far and she could only touch nothing.
Seeing this, Rested took a few steps forward and stood there looking at her quietly.
Meng Lu thought that Resid didn't like her, after all, she was his rival's child. Just as he was about to find a topic to divert his attention, he saw Qianqian raise her little hand to touch the badge on Resid's cuff.
Qianqian smiled happily after touching his hand, then she saw a badge hanging on his chest and raised her hand to touch it.
As she wished, Rested half-knelt down and let her touch him.
"It seems she likes it very much."
Meng Qi smiled and said, "The child is ignorant. She might think the shiny colonel's badge is more attractive to her."
"Since she likes it, give it to her." After saying that, he took off the badge on his chest and placed it in Qianqian's little hand.
"This is yours, she can't have it." Meng Lu reached out to take the badge from the child's hand, but was grabbed by Resid's wrist halfway.
"Consider it my gift to commemorate the birth of my child."
She gave up at this point, and suddenly the six words "shell-breaking commemorative gift" caught her attention.
"Colonel, do you prepare gifts for the children after they hatch?"
"Um."
Isn't this just like a full moon ceremony for humans?
Unfortunately, she didn't know. No wonder her little snake son wanted to leave. She neither gave him a gift nor visited him as promised. The double blow made her completely disappointed.
Noticing her low mood, Rest was at a loss as he had never coaxed a female before and didn't know how to do it.
"You like to cook the food you have there. I think I heard your maid say that the ingredients are not complete. Send someone to buy some ingredients this afternoon and have them all delivered to me tomorrow."
"Really?" This news was undoubtedly a great surprise.
Some things have already happened, and one cannot just dwell on the sadness. Meng Lu has already let it go. Anyway, she will find a way to get her child back later.
"Yeah, really."
Rested stayed at home for a while, and then his adjutant came to inform him that it was time to leave. He then said goodbye to Meng Lu reluctantly, as if they would never see each other again.
The housekeeper came soon afterwards and asked if she needed anything else from the shopping list.
At that time, Meng Qi was holding her child and playing in the living room. She specially searched for parenting videos on the Internet, which said that children who have just started crawling should practice crawling more, so that they will have a better sense of balance in the future.
"Well, these are enough. I have no other requests." Meng Lu handed the list to the housekeeper.
Just as the housekeeper was about to leave, he noticed what the little girl was holding and became extremely excited.
"Miss, may I ask if the badge in the young lady's hand was given to her by the colonel?"
Meng Lu didn't understand and could only nod.
The butler was very excited. "Young lady, you are so lucky. This is the colonel's family emblem. Seeing the emblem is like seeing the young master of Walzan."
"What?" Meng Lu didn't know that this badge would have such a great effect.
The butler continued to explain, "The family crest is different from the young master's crest. While not as powerful as the master's, it can still mobilize the soldiers of the Walzan family. Miss, you must take good care of this crest and make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands."
