Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 584: Family Head Ability

"After spending so much time together, if I still doubt this, what would I become?" If she were really like that, she wouldn’t be worth Zhao Gushen’s affection.

"Besides, I’m also worried that my family’s situation might annoy you," Ye Fei said.

"When feelings are strongest, even the attached flaws can be tolerated."

"But what’s tolerable in the short term, what about the long term?" Ye Fei said, "Those are my family. Even if I don’t want to deal with them, I can only ignore them at best. It’s impossible to really do anything about them."

"In this way, I can only passively resist and can’t truly get rid of them."

If they keep coming back like stubborn glue, all I can do is shake them off repeatedly. But I’m their daughter, so I have no choice. You, however, have no ties to them."

"Sticking repeatedly and shaking off repeatedly — over time, there will come a point of irritation. I’m worried that when you’re annoyed enough, you’ll even be irritated with me."

Seeing Zhao Gushen open his mouth to speak, Ye Fei squeezed his hand and spoke first, "Of course, I believe you now. I trust your feelings for me. If I still doubted you, I’d be heartless."

"This... this is just how I used to think, isn’t it? Before, when I said we should date first, it was because of these concerns."

"You go to great lengths for me, not minding the trouble of having someone watch Ye City. Whatever I want, you cooperate, giving me all the decision-making power, while I only need to make a decision; you handle the execution."

"You’ve already done so much for me, how could I still doubt you?" Ye Fei said.

Zhao Gushen sighed with relief, his expression softened slightly.

"I wanted to say, your family’s situation, you used to just hear me talk about it. This time, you’ve seen it with your own eyes," Ye Fei said.

"On the day of the competition, you could see them in person. Later, when I went to find them, I had a hidden camera on me, and you could see the whole thing," Ye Fei said.

That day she did that because Zhao Gushen was worried.

He feared that unexpected situations might arise that he wouldn’t know about in time to react.

So, he had Ye Fei carry a small hidden camera on her.

Whatever Ye Fei said or encountered with them, Zhao Gushen could see.

And Ye Fei agreed not because she feared any danger, but because she wanted Zhao Gushen to see firsthand what her parents were like.

To give Zhao Gushen a direct and clear understanding.

So that Zhao Gushen wouldn’t underestimate them.

"So, even with my family like this, would you still be willing to marry me?" Ye Fei asked.

She was a bit afraid to look up, her eyes moist.

But she still summoned the courage to face it.

Ye Fei spoke as she raised her head to look at Zhao Gushen.

Only to meet Zhao Gushen’s smile directly.

"Your family’s matters, your family’s people, have never been a problem in my eyes," Zhao Gushen said.

"From when I knew you were manipulated by Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning, I understood them, knew what kind of people they were. Despite not seeing Ye Ning this time, only your parents, they pretty much match the image I had in mind," Zhao Gushen said.

"They didn’t exceed my expectations; their words and actions didn’t surprise me as they were all within my foresight," Zhao Gushen said.

"Even if I meet Ye Ning in the future, I still won’t be surprised," Zhao Gushen smiled softly, "I’ve told you before, the Zhao Family is large, with many people."

"What you’ve seen is just our branch," Zhao Gushen said, "You see that our branch is harmonious, full of love. But with so many members in the Zhao Family, not every branch is like this."

"Especially since the Zhao Family possesses so much, internally, many have coveted these resources for a long time. When a family is large and deeply rooted, some relatives can be much more extreme than those in your family."

"Especially concerning wealth, power, and influence," Zhao Gushen said, "You’ve just not encountered them yet; as you naturally meet them in the future, you’ll understand why your family doesn’t concern me at all."

"Because their actions and words are truly minor compared to our family’s relatives," Zhao Gushen chuckled lightly.

"Our family’s relatives really dare to do anything. With increased power, they sometimes don’t treat people as people," Zhao Gushen said coldly.

"Outside, they all say I’m the successor of the Zhao Family. But others are always watching this position closely, not letting go."

"The Eight Great Families have different ways of choosing successors," Zhao Gushen said.

Ye Fei was a bit confused.

Although the conversation had drifted from the original topic,

Ye Fei still listened, being led along by Zhao Gushen.

"It’s the family head’s ability," Zhao Gushen said, "Each family’s awakening time and conditions differ, but one thing is shared: in each generation, only one person can awaken the family head’s ability. The awakened person becomes the family head."

"Additionally, there’s a characteristic: the probability of awakening the family head’s ability is higher for the descendants of the current family head. So far, in the past century among the Eight Great Families, there hasn’t been an exception." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"It’s as if the elder became the family head because he naturally awakened his abilities; my father’s probability of awakening was thus higher, and indeed he awakened them too. Until my turn, I also awakened,"

"Family head abilities?" Ye Fei blinked, finding it truly fantastical.

It was like watching a superhero TV series.

"It’s somewhat similar to superpowers but not as mystical nor as powerful," Zhao Gushen said.

Ye Fei suddenly covered her mouth, eyes wide with shock, "You... you..."

Zhao Gushen took her hand from her mouth and held it.

"You... can you read minds?" Ye Fei gasped.

If that’s the case, then all her past complaints would be known to him?

There’d be no secrets before him.

To be honest, that would be quite unsettling.

Zhao Gushen tilted his head and said, "It’s not that impressive, there are conditions."

"What conditions?" Ye Fei asked instinctively.

"I can only hear one person’s inner voice at a time, requiring my complete attention on that one person. For example, if there’s a group of people now, I can’t perceive everyone’s thoughts, only one of them,"
