Chapter 35 - Father

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Ru sat by the bed and her heart ached when she heard Ye Xun calling her ‘mother’.

She quickly pushed away the servant who was wiping Ye Xun’s body and sat beside him, gently holding his hand.

Ye Xun opened his eyes and saw a stranger in front of him. “Where’s Mommy? I want Mommy!”

He was already feeling unwell. When he opened his eyes and did not see his mother beside him, he immediately felt wronged.

Tears fell from the corner of his eyes and Ye Xun started sobbing.

Seeing this, Lu Ru’s heart ached even more.

“Poor child, are you having a fever? Do you miss your mother?” Lu Ru said as she wiped Ye Xun’s tears.

Ye Xun blinked as he tried to make out what was going on.

Finally, he remembered what had happened yesterday.

The person in front of her was the “benefactor’s” grandmother, not her mother…

He was now at the home of his “benefactor.”

Thinking of this, Ye Xun felt even more aggrieved.

His physical discomfort had already put him in a bad mood. To make things worse, he did not have his mother’s company!

This was the first time he fell sick without his mother by his side…

Ye Xun felt like he was about to collapse!

Lu Ru bent down gently and hugged Ye Xun’s tiny body. “Chenchen, don’t be afraid.Grandma is here…”

Qi Zhan also stood up from the sofa and approached the bed. “Grandfather is here. Chenchen will recover soon!”

Ye Xun looked up at the unfamiliar “grandfather” and nodded obediently.

His gaze swept across the other people in the room again, and a familiar figure came into view.

After dinner yesterday, Ye Xun fell asleep very quickly.

In his sleep, he vaguely felt someone enter the room and tuck him in.

However, he was too tired and did not take a good look at that person’s appearance.

But looking at that person’s figure, it was probably this man in front of him.

Who was this person?

Seeing Ye Xun’s gaze fixated on Qi Heng, Qi Zhan asked curiously, “Why does this child keep looking at you with such an unfamiliar gaze?”

“Did you hit the child again?” Qi Zhan snorted unhappily.

“Dad, you know that I never hit children!” Qi Heng denied without hesitation.

“I will not apply the style discipline I dislike to my children!”

Qi Heng’s explanation immediately made Qi Zhan angry.

He coughed twice before saying, “Times have changed, and the way of education has to change with the times, understand?”

Qi Heng did not say anything and just looked at Ye Xun, who was still staring at him.

“Just now, Doctor Zhang said that it’s just an ordinary cold.”

“But he must have been frightened outside yesterday, so he should be fine after resting at home for a few days.”

“Since you’re all here, I’ll head to the office.”

Qi Heng stared at Ye Xun as if waiting for something.

In the past, when Qi Chen heard these words, he would obediently say things like “Daddy must have been working hard”.

However, this time, the small body seemed to have a different reaction.

He reached out his hand towards Qi Heng. “Father…”

This was the first time Ye Xun called him “Dad”.

In the Ye family, “father” was a taboo term!

Moreover, Ye Xun hated his father the most since he was young!

It was said that it was because of that stinky father that her mother had to live such a tough life, and that was why she was always unhappy!

However, the father who had tucked him in last night seemed to be a good person.

“Benefactor, let me borrow your father. It doesn’t matter if he’s my father or not!” Ye Xun shouted in his heart.

Qi Heng did not expect his son to do this.

This was not his usual style!

Therefore, he just stood there quietly and looked at the little hand that was reaching out to him in surprise.

At this moment, Qi Zhan slapped his son’s back. “What are you waiting for! Your son is calling for you!”

Qi Heng hesitated for a moment before walking to the bed.

Lu Ru quickly made way for Qi Heng to sit by the bed.

When Ye Xun saw his “father” sitting in front of him, he did not stand on ceremony. He placed his hands on Qi Heng’s arms and climbed onto his body.

Qi Heng stood rooted to the ground, feeling like a monkey was climbing on to him.

Qi Heng, who had never hugged his son personally, was really shocked by the scene before him.

Qi Zhan and Lu Ru stood together and smiled at Qi Heng’s helpless expression.

Butler Qin wiped the tears off his face and sighed in his heart. “This day has finally come!”

Ye Xun crawled into Qi Heng’s arms and found a position to snuggle in.. “So comfortable…”
