Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 286: You Put Me in a Passive Position
The cold moonlight also emitted a bit of light outside.
Everything was so quiet, embodying the beauty of a peaceful life.
In this tranquil and lovely atmosphere, Zhao Gushen’s voice was low, yet carried a sense of reassurance for her.
Listening to his words, Ye Fei felt enveloped in warmth.
"In the future, you’ll have many family members, many friends," Zhao Gushen said.
"Mm." Ye Fei nodded heavily, "Zhao Gushen, have I ever told you, you’re really good?"
"No, but it’s not too late to say it now." Zhao Gushen chuckled, "However, there’s something else I want to hear you say—three other words."
Ye Fei’s blinking involuntarily sped up, in sync with her heartbeat.
She did not feel it was too soon to say those three words.
Feelings are strange like that.
Even though she and Zhao Gushen hadn’t known each other for long, they only established their relationship today.
But Ye Fei knew it wasn’t just a deep attraction.
She truly loved this man.
Falling in love with someone has nothing to do with how long you’ve known them.
It’s like how Zhao Gushen could be certain he wanted to marry her.
She was also very sure that she wanted to be with him for the rest of her life.
Every time they interacted, she only grew to love him more.
Long before today, in her repeated interactions with him, she had already fallen for him.
She had once told Zhao Gushen that she would never fall in love or get married, just raise Xiao Mo.
But in fact, she knew too.
After meeting someone as wonderful as him, after interacting with him, how could she possibly be interested in anyone else?
Zhao Gushen had long unknowingly raised her standards of admiration.
From the moment he started showing his presence in front of Ye Fei, Zhao Gushen had no good intentions!
So, if it wasn’t for Zhao Gushen, she wouldn’t care for anyone else, let alone get married.
Ye Fei lifted her head from Zhao Gushen’s embrace. Even at this close distance, she couldn’t find a single flaw in his features.
Whether combined or viewed individually, they were all exquisite.
Ye Fei felt like she was dreaming.
How did such a wonderful man come to like her?
Someone who had never even won a consolation prize, how did she end up with something better than winning the lottery?
Ye Fei grabbed Zhao Gushen’s shoulders, until she could lean in close enough to whisper in his ear.
She saw Zhao Gushen’s ears turn red at a visible speed.
Seeing his reaction, Ye Fei’s own nervousness waned a bit.
She took a deep breath, summoned her courage, and whispered in Zhao Gushen’s ear: "I love you."
Zhao Gushen suddenly stiffened.
Then, he tightly embraced Ye Fei.
"Xiao Fei." Zhao Gushen looked at her joyfully, unable to help but smile, his whole body trembling.
He truly hadn’t expected Ye Fei would take the initiative to say those three words to him.
Honestly, he had only half-joked earlier, not expecting Ye Fei to actually say them.
"You’ve now made me very passive," Zhao Gushen said.
"Hm?" Ye Fei was puzzled.
Passive in what way?
"Those three words, I should’ve been the one to say them first," Zhao Gushen said in a low voice.
Seeing Ye Fei still confused, Zhao Gushen said, "Whoever says ’I love you’ first ends up more passive."
"I wanted to let you have the initiative," Zhao Gushen said, "So even though you said those three words first, remember, it was I who fell for you first, okay?"
This way, Ye Fei could have more control.
Let him be the one to worry.
Ye Fei understood Zhao Gushen’s intentions.
"Why are you so good?" Ye Fei was almost in tears.
How could someone be so good to her!
How was she so fortunate to have met Zhao Gushen five years ago?
Who said she was unlucky?
She was obviously very lucky!
"Fool." Zhao Gushen, seeing her about to cry, kissed her on the lips, "I love you."
Ye Fei’s heart raced, as Zhao Gushen urged once more, "Quick, say you love me too."
"Didn’t I just say it?" It took her a lot of courage to say it just now.
"That doesn’t count, consider it as if I said it first. So after I say it, you also need to say it," Zhao Gushen said.
Ye Fei found, sometimes, this man could be a bit childish.
"Hurry up," Zhao Gushen urged again.
Ye Fei, dragging her feet, mumbled the words back in his ear again.
"Little girl, tell me... why did you run back then?" Zhao Gushen regretted, gritting his teeth, "If you hadn’t run, how good would it have been."
"If I hadn’t run, wouldn’t you have thought of me as someone plotting against you?" Ye Fei said, "Back then, there’s no way you would’ve treated me as kindly as you do now. Maybe you would’ve forced me to have an abortion and there’d be no Xiao Mo."
"If I can fall for you now, then I would’ve liked you back then too." Zhao Gushen pinched her waist, "If you hadn’t run at that time, I could’ve known you five years earlier."
"You’re so likable, even if there were some misunderstandings at first, they’d be quickly cleared up," Zhao Gushen pinched her cheek again, "With me by your side, you wouldn’t have had to raise Xiao Mo alone. We might have been married by now."
Then he would’ve been the first among his friends to marry and have kids, a life winner!
"Stop saying it," Ye Fei puffed up her cheek, "Hearing you say that makes me regret running off too."
With Zhao Gushen around, she could’ve continued her college studies.
She wouldn’t have had to arrange a leave of absence and, by not returning, be persuaded to drop out by her school.
Most importantly, she missed out on five years of time with Zhao Gushen.
And Xiao Mo also missed out on five years of a complete family.
Zhao Gushen chuckled softly against her neck: "Actually, besides those three words, there’s another set of three words I’d really like to hear."
This time, Ye Fei couldn’t guess at all: "What three words?"
Zhao Gushen whispered in her ear, "I want it."
