Chapter 738 -739: Calling Dad for the First Ti
Xia Ye got up from bed, then stepped out of the room.
At this mont, Gu Qichen was in the kitchen, making radish pancakes.
Turning around, he saw Xia Ye standing at the door.
Gu Qichen froze slightly and then walked over.
He knelt down, holding a small piece of pancake in his hand, clearly intending to tease the little one: “Call ‘Dad’, and this pancake is yours.”
Xia Ye stared steadily at Gu Qichen.
Gu Qichen’s face was wreathed in smiles, clearly joking.
Gu Qichen knew, the little one was still hesitant, not ready to call him ‘Dad’.
“Dad!” Xia Ye suddenly spoke out loud.
Xia Ye said it naturally and calmly.
Just like he had been calling him ‘Dad’ countless tis before.
But Gu Qichen was stunned.
As if he had heard a phantom voice: “What did you call ? Say it again.”
Xia Ye obediently repeated it once more.
His tone may were mature, but he was, after all, a four-year-old, so his voice still had a touch of childishness.
In that mont, Gu Qichen felt as if his heart had been lightly brushed by the feather of a dove.
Then, a wave of inexplicable emotion surged wildly within him.
Gu Qichen wanted to cry.
Tears nearly fell.
Four years ago, since seeing the pregnancy test result, he had imagined such a scene.
A son who looked like him.
He could teach him to play ball, swim, send him to school and pick him up from school.
Four years, every single mont was torture.
He dared not think about his child, yet he couldn’t help but do so.
Then he t Xia Yangyang, who initially lied to him that she had not given birth to the child.
At that ti, he felt his world had crumbled.
The tiny spark of hope in his heart had turned to ashes.
He felt such hatred at that ti.
It turned him into a crazy devil, wanting to destroy everything and perish with the world.
But now, this single word ‘Dad’.
Gu Qichen sensed a form of redemption.
Yes, he was a man sinking deep in the mud.
Who knew, the one to pull him out would be a four-year-old kid.
Gu Qichen got up, turning his back to the room.
In the end, he couldn’t contain the tremors in his shoulders, he covered his eyes with his hand.
Despite his efforts, tears rolled down his cheeks.
Xia Yangyang happened to be standing not far behind him and saw the whole thing.
Her nose was already tingling and her eyes had turned red.
Gu Qichen had always seed lofty and solitary, even more so after four years, with a certain cold ruthlessness added to his deanor.
But Xia Yangyang knew, deep in his bones, he was a sensitive man.
Xia Yangyang had rarely seen Gu Qichen cry.
No matter how big the setback in life, this man seed unshakable.
But now, a single ‘Dad’ from Xia Ye seed to hit him right in the soft spot.
He stood there tearing up, unable to make a sound.
Xia Yangyang also cried.
Because she felt she had wronged him.
At this mont, she seed to fully understand the repression and longing Gu Qichen felt over the four years.
And she had repeatedly killed his hope and tortured him ruthlessly.
Gu Qichen stood there for a while.
Turning around, he directly lifted Xia Ye up: “Are you serious? Say it again.”
Gu Qichen’s eyes were rimd with red. Xia Ye just laughed: “Dad, Dad, Dad. I can call you as many tis as you want.”
Gu Qichen seed to be trying hard to hold back his tears. Finally, he just tightly held Xia Ye in his arms: “Thank you, truly, thank you.”
