Translator: 549690339
The next day, the little boy Ye Yiyang woke up bright and early.
He had made a deal with Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei the previous night, asking them not to get up before him.
Upon opening his eyes, he glanced around and saw that he was still sleeping between Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei. He broke into a sweet smile and reached out with his small hands to hold both Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei’s hands.
Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei had stayed up late last night and were still asleep.
Feeling the gentle grasp of the little boy Ye Yiyang’s hand, they both woke up.
Ye Xingbei opened her eyes to see her son smiling gratefully, one hand clutching hers and the other clutching Gu Junzhu’s.
Ye Xingbei was both thrilled and heartbroken. She stroked her son’s head, “Are you this happy?”
“Hmm!” little Ye Yiyang answered, rubbing his face against Ye Xingbei’s hand and softly saying, “Sleeping between mommy and daddy feels so wonderful!”
What others might take for granted, her son experienced for the first time. Ye Xingbei was both heartbroken and upset. She instantly forgot how Gu Junzhu had nearly driven her to fury the night before, and comforted her son, “From now on, you will always sleep with mommy and daddy!”
Little Ye Yiyang eagerly nodded and looked at Gu Junzhu.
Gu Junzhu was already awake, quietly laying and listening to the conversation between the two.
Seeing the youngster’s gaze, he leaned over and kissed him on the forehead, “Sweetie, why did you wake up this early?”
“Hmm!” the little boy nodded eagerly. He took Gu Junzhu’s face and planted a big kiss on it, “I want to have breakfast with mommy and daddy!”
To the youngster, what used to be a daily routine felt special and happier now because they were done with daddy.
Now he had a father too!
From now on he, too, would be a child with a father!
He no longer needed to envy other children for having a father!
Ye Xingbei was deeply troubled with the farce they were playing as a couple.
If Gu Junzhu were to act like he did last night and bully her again, she would divorce him.
But seeing her little boy’s bright and joyful appearance today, she didn’t have the heart to say anything.
Her son had already accepted Gu Junzhu as his father.
If she were to tell her son, “Honey, mommy was lying, Gu Junzhu isn’t your dad, he’s a fake I brought home to trick you.”
How heartbroken would her son be?
She absolutely couldn’t do that!
Never mind, never mind.
For the sake of her son, as long as Gu Junzhu can restrain himself a bit, she’ll put up with him!
There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
To receive, you have to give first.
She’s understood this principle since she was very young.
The youngster was sticking to Gu Junzhu like glue, wanting him to dress him, brush his teeth, wash his face, and even feed him breakfast.
During breakfast, the youngster couldn’t take his eyes off Gu Junzhu, as if worried that any moment unobserved would mean Gu Junzhu’s disappearance.
Ye Xingbei was a bit worried that Gu Junzhu would get annoyed with the boy’s clinginess and treat the boy poorly.
Her son was really attached to Gu Junzhu now. If Gu Junzhu showed any signs of impatience, her son would definitely be devastated.
Fortunately, Gu Junzhu was extremely patient.
He catered to the little guy’s every need, doing exactly what he asked for, occasionally kissing and hugging him.
The two of them, one big and one small, were chattering and laughing. The little one admired and depended on the big one, while the big one indulged and doted on the small one.
If outsiders were to see them, they would certainly believe that they were a paternally close father and son.
Watching from the side, Ye Xingbei suddenly felt that as long as Gu Junzhu could always be this good to her son, making him this happy and fulfilled, regardless of how Gu Junzhu might treat her in the future, she could bear it..
