My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 1320: Sworn Kinship
What she can do now is to calm Mrs. Yan’s heart, helping her forget that awful man, An Bingfeng, who abandoned his wife and daughter.
No matter how he is, Gao Mutou is truly sincere to Mrs. Yan and Xiaoniu, a thousand times better than An Bingfeng.
"Indeed, Ningning’s words make sense. Our family doesn’t seek wealth or great accomplishments, just living without worries about food and clothing, and a peaceful life is enough." Gao Mutou’s voice suddenly appeared behind An Ning, giving her quite a start.
Mrs. Yan had already noticed Gao Mutou, so she wasn’t surprised. Instead, she felt sweet inside hearing his words.
"You two have quite the vision, living without worries and peacefully is something many people yearn for their entire lives but can’t obtain!" said Mrs. Yan.
Gao Mutou and An Ning both synchronized in not continuing the conversation.
Seizing the moment, An Ning originally thought of bringing Xiaoniu over, to give them some time alone.
Unexpectedly, Gao Mutou suddenly spoke again, "An Ning, a few days ago, your Aunt Qiu mentioned something to your mother. We’ve been thinking about it for several days and haven’t made a decision, so we wanted to hear your opinion."
"What is it?" An Ning knew from Gao Mutou’s expression that this matter was certainly not a small one.
And if it was brought up to her, it likely concerned her directly.
"It’s like this." Gao Mutou adjusted his thoughts a little and said, "Your Aunt Qiu wants to become your godparent. What do you think of this?"
If this had come up earlier, they wouldn’t even have thought about it and would have directly refused. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
After all, Erlaizi’s reputation was well-known, and no family wanted a relative like Erlaizi.
But after these months of interaction, they all knew in their hearts that Erlaizi had truly turned over a new leaf this time.
Moreover, with An Ning and Erlaizi working together on breeding projects, when Mrs. Qiu first proposed this matter, they didn’t immediately refuse but said they would consider it.
Being able to properly call An Dafu ’father’ again, An Ning naturally felt happy in her heart.
However, after a brief moment of joy, she immediately turned her gaze to Mrs. Yan.
Then, her excitement was like being doused with a bucket of cold water, instantly cooling down.
The expression on Mrs. Yan’s face couldn’t be described as unhappy, it was just too calm, revealing no hint of her attitude.
But An Ning understood that she was not quite willing in her heart.
"This matter, I’ll listen to my mother."
Though she was eager inside, Mrs. Yan’s opinion was also very important.
Moreover, she was her biological and rightful mother throughout her life.
As soon as An Ning finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Mrs. Yan, and Gao Mutou also looked at her.
Only then Mrs. Yan could no longer avoid the issue.
"Why are you all looking at me?" Saying this, Mrs. Yan looked at An Ning, "I said to consider your own opinion. You’re grown up now, and it would be better if you learn to make decisions yourself. If you feel it’s good to recognize this godparent, then do it; if not, then don’t."
An Ning deliberately acted coy, "Mom, I want you to help me decide."
In this era, recognizing a godparent is not a small matter.
It requires formal rituals, bowing, and serving tea, akin to biological parents. In fact, if the biological parents are gone, the godparent has the right to handle all matters of the godson or goddaughter.
Generally, unless the relationship is extremely good or the other party has no children, parents wouldn’t agree to let their child acknowledge a godparent.
