Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 271: I Would Still Love You

Zhao Gushen raised an eyebrow, curious about what question Ye Fei could ask that would upset him.

"Go ahead and ask." Zhao Gushen chuckled.

Ye Fei took a nervous breath and then asked, "You like me, but is part of the reason because of Xiao Mo?"

Ye Fei was too anxious to look at Zhao Gushen, she lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes: "I know that one day Xiao Mo will acknowledge you and return to the Zhao Family. Maybe you think it’s not suitable for Xiao Mo and me to be apart, especially for Xiao Mo. So, wouldn’t it be better for us to be together, to give Xiao Mo a complete family?"

After saying this, Ye Fei cautiously looked at Zhao Gushen.

This was her worry, but she feared her guess might misrepresent Zhao Gushen’s intentions and hurt him.

Yet if she didn’t ask, this matter would keep spinning in Ye Feixin’s mind, like an unresolved knot.

To her surprise, Zhao Gushen didn’t seem angry.

He smiled gently and pulled Ye Fei closer to him, saying, "It’s impossible to say that it’s completely unrelated to Xiao Mo."

Ye Fei’s heart sank a little.

Zhao Gushen noticed, and with a smile, he said, "Without Xiao Mo, do you think we would have had the chance to meet? Perhaps you would still participate in the cooking competition. But the cooking competition is just one of many brands under Changping. I can’t possibly focus on every single competition. At most, I would hear about the general progress and listen to reports from subordinates. Then during the finals, I might pay a bit of attention."

"But even if I encountered you, you would just be one of the contestants to me," Zhao Gushen said.

Ye Fei’s ponytail had already been tousled by Zhao Gushen’s hands.

Furthermore, as she leaned against Zhao Gushen just now, her hair inevitably brushed against him, making the situation even messier.

Zhao Gushen, while speaking, reached out and simply removed the hair tie, letting her long hair fall loose.

Ye Fei’s hair was incredibly smooth, good enough for shampoo commercials.

Only a few strands of hair were slightly tangled.

Zhao Gushen used his long fingers to comb through her hair while saying, "There might be other opportunities to meet, but those are all just possibilities."

"The reality is, we met and got to know each other because of Xiao Mo," Zhao Gushen said slowly, "Because of Xiao Mo, we had the chance to interact repeatedly. It’s because Xiao Mo looks so much like me that I started to wonder whether the woman from back then was you. Then based on clues like you being from Ye City too, I investigated, and verified the parent-child relationship between me and Xiao Mo."

"Indeed, our acquaintance was sparked by Xiao Mo, but I wouldn’t force myself to be with someone I don’t like solely because of Xiao Mo. I met you because of Xiao Mo, but with each interaction with you, I grew to like you more and more."

"It just so happens that you are Xiao Mo’s mother." Zhao Gushen explained patiently to Ye Fei, "If there were no Xiao Mo and we still met, I would still like you."

Zhao Gushen tidied the hair behind her ears, "Our meeting was related to Xiao Mo. But my liking for you has nothing to do with Xiao Mo."

Just as Zhao Gushen finished speaking, Ye Fei suddenly turned around, knelt, and propped herself up on his leg for support.

Using the leverage, she swiftly kissed him on the lips.

Then quickly sat back down. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

She moved so fast that Zhao Gushen couldn’t react in time and didn’t stop her. So, she just sat back down.
