Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 279: No Chance for Change

"I’m very sure," Zhao Gushen said, "I know my own heart very well."

Ye Fei took a deep breath and said softly, "As long as you don’t change, I won’t change."

"Then you won’t have the chance to change," Zhao Gushen said confidently.

"I’m telling you this because I want you to know that sooner or later we will get married. You and Xiao Mo are my family. Xiao Mo will definitely call me ’Dad’ in the future," Zhao Gushen said, "So I’m not in a hurry. You’re really ready to tell him."

"I’m really ready," Ye Fei said, "Since we’re together, it’s time for Xiao Mo to know. We can’t let him keep calling you ’Uncle.’

"Every time I hear him call you ’Uncle,’ I feel guilty. You are clearly his father, yet you can’t hear him call you ’Dad.’ It’s all to accommodate my thoughts and emotions. You’ve given me the right to decide, so you’ve had to endure not being able to recognize him openly." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"And since the elders already know about your relationship with Xiao Mo, are we going to let Xiao Mo think that the elders are strangers when we go to the old house during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Ye Fei said with a smile.

"Like you said, you are very clear and sure of your feelings. You said that we will get married," Ye Fei looked at him seriously, "Similarly, I trust you. You’ve kept every promise you made to me. Ever since we’ve met, anything you’ve promised me, you have fulfilled."

"So, knowing now or later makes no difference," Ye Fei said, "It might be better to let Xiao Mo know early. I think... he will feel more secure in his heart too."

"Let him know that he has such a wonderful father like you," Ye Fei couldn’t help but smile.

"Although I do my best to provide Xiao Mo with the best possible living environment, I can never take the place of a father. I know that Xiao Mo always has some insecurities in his heart. Many times, when others see just the two of us, they will bully us. Xiao Mo is a sensible child, and sometimes when he is wronged, he won’t tell me. He’s afraid of causing trouble for me, afraid that I won’t be able to solve it and feel sad."

"So he simply doesn’t say anything. He’s also using his way to do everything he can to ease the pressure for me. But it’s different with a father. With you backing him up, he can truly relax without having to care so much. He doesn’t have to endure grievances or make compromises for the sake of accommodating others. He doesn’t have to worry that I can’t solve a problem and have to keep yielding."

"In the future, he will have more confidence," Ye Fei said softly.

"Okay, then let’s tell him," Zhao Gushen nodded, "With me here, you both won’t have to accommodate and compromise anymore, no need for any concerns. No matter what happens, you can just go ahead and do it. Just remember that I’ll always be by your side, ready to cover for you whenever something comes up."

"Don’t say this to Xiao Mo," Ye Fei felt warm inside hearing his words, feeling extra secure, yet a bit worried, "I’m afraid he’ll be mischievous. He’s too young and may not grasp the right degree for many things. We can’t raise him to be reckless and lawless."

After Ye Fei finished speaking, she noticed Zhao Gushen quietly watching her without saying anything.

Ye Fei felt uncomfortable under his gaze and awkwardly touched her own face, "What are you looking at?"

"I was looking at how you talk about Xiao Mo, it feels like we’re already a married couple discussing our child’s education," Zhao Gushen teased, "I couldn’t tell you have a strict motherly side."
