Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 652: Say It for Me Now

"Mr. Liu, if I say I didn’t see anything tonight, that would definitely be a lie, and you wouldn’t believe it. But you have to know, I don’t think what you did was disgraceful—after all, that’s Zhao Gushen, the heir of the Zhao Family, one of the Eight Great Families." Ye Ning took a deep breath, carefully choosing her words.

"When he’s angry, who wouldn’t be cautious around him? Being able to lower oneself for the greater good and for family when facing Zhao Gushen isn’t something laughable. It’s just that Zhao Gushen doesn’t care about me."

"As a minor person in front of Zhao Gushen, I don’t even have a sense of presence. Otherwise, I might be even more afraid, perhaps even bowing and scraping to him."

"Mr. Liu, I genuinely don’t think you were disgraceful." Ye Ning concluded.

Liu Sixu didn’t know if he believed her or not, just staring straight at her.

After a while, he snorted softly, turned, and left, leaving Ye Ning standing there.

Only after Liu Sixu walked a distance away did Ye Ning start to breathe normally.

The cold wind of the winter night made her forehead feel even colder than usual. It was only after touching her forehead that Ye Ning realized she had broken out in a cold sweat without knowing when it happened.

Because Zhao Gushen had drunk a little tonight—not much, not to the point of losing control—but Qiu Xingwen was driving.

From the moment he got in the car, Zhao Gushen held Ye Fei’s hand. They briefly let go when getting in, but as soon as they were in, he grabbed Ye Fei’s hand again.

"What I told Ye Ning earlier was all fake, don’t take it seriously. I just wanted to scare her, so your parents don’t get swayed by her persuasion and come trouble you." Zhao Gushen explained softly to Ye Fei as soon as he got into the car.

Ye Fei knew, of course, that Zhao Gushen didn’t look down on her like he said: "Besides, you pinched me just now, didn’t you? I got your hint."

Unfortunately, with Qiu Xingwen in front, it was inconvenient to say many things. Zhao Gushen thought it would have been easier if he had driven himself.

Ye Fei leaned close to Zhao Gushen’s neck, sniffing a few times before lightly sniffing near his lips.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Gushen lowered his head and sniffed his own shoulders a few times, "Is there a smell?"

"No." Ye Fei shook her head, "Just checking if there’s a smell of alcohol. Did you drink much tonight?"

If he hadn’t drunk, Zhao Gushen certainly wouldn’t have let Qiu Xingwen drive.

"I didn’t dare drink much. Even if I drank a little, I wouldn’t dare drive myself." Zhao Gushen said with a smile.

Ye Fei nodded, "That’s true."

But still, with Qiu Xingwen around, it was inconvenient for them to talk.

Occasionally, whispering secrets had its own charm.

Back at home, Xiao Mo had already been coaxed to sleep by Aunt Guo.

Seeing the two come back, Aunt Guo left.

Zhao Gushen thought Xiao Mo slept so well that he directly pulled Ye Fei into the bedroom.

Ye Fei initially wanted to check on Xiao Mo, even if he was asleep, she wanted to gently kiss him first.

But she was hurriedly pulled into the bedroom by Zhao Gushen without a chance to resist.

After closing the door, Zhao Gushen excitedly told Ye Fei, "I heard you call me husband tonight."

Ye Fei: "..."

How long has it been, and he’s still so excited about it.

Ye Fei couldn’t help but self-reflect, wondering if she didn’t call him that often enough, making Zhao Gushen so happy to hear it once.

As Ye Fei was thinking, Zhao Gushen planted a kiss on her.

Cupping her face, he complained, "What are you daydreaming about?"

"Nothing." Ye Fei quickly shook her head. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Don’t say ’nothing,’ just now your eyes were clearly wandering. What were you thinking about?" Zhao Gushen asked.

Ye Fei replied naturally, "I was thinking about you."

Zhao Gushen: "..."

This little girl has now become a smooth-talker.

The sweet words came so easily to her.

Seeing Zhao Gushen’s disbelief, thinking she was being insincere, Ye Fei hurriedly explained, "It’s true, I was reflecting on myself."

At this, Zhao Gushen was even more confused, "Reflecting on what?"

"I was reflecting on whether I haven’t been good enough to you, just calling you ’husband’ and you’re so happy." Ye Fei said softly.

She thought hard, feeling she hadn’t been bad to Zhao Gushen, had she?

Zhao Gushen then picked her up, "Isn’t it because you seldom call me that, so when you do, I’m pleasantly surprised."

Ye Fei thought about it, her eyes turning as she asked, "So do you like me calling you ’Gu Shen’ or ’husband’ better?"

Zhao Gushen thought seriously for a while before saying, "I like both. Each has its charm. When you call me ’husband,’ your voice is soft and a bit coy, which I really enjoy listening to."

Ye Fei wondered if she really sounded like she was acting spoiled when she called him ’husband.’

She’d never noticed it herself.

"Calling me ’Gu Shen’ makes our relationship seem especially close, like a couple, like partners. So I like both."

With that, Ye Fei didn’t know which one to choose.

Zhao Gushen then said, "You should use both more. Whichever I like. When you feel like being coy, call me ’husband.’

Ye Fei realized she had unknowingly started enjoying being coy with Zhao Gushen.

As she thought about it, she heard Zhao Gushen suddenly lean toward her, whispering in her ear, "At night, even during the day, as long as we’re doing something together, you can call me ’husband.’ I love hearing it the most then."

Ye Fei’s face flushed red, and she lightly hit his chest in exasperation.

Saying "day or night," as if they had done something during the day.

Ye Fei suddenly paused, remembering that they had actually done something during the day.

Just as she thought about this, Zhao Gushen picked her up.

By the time Ye Fei realized it, Zhao Gushen had already pinned her down on the bed.

Ye Fei exclaimed, thankful that Zhao Gushen’s house was big with many rooms, so they didn’t have to worry about waking the little one.

Zhao Gushen clasped Ye Fei’s wrists, laughing softly, "Just like now, I love hearing you call me ’husband’ the most, especially when you’re in my arms, almost losing your ability to think, calling ’husband’ repeatedly, your voice trembling—it’s irresistible."

Ye Fei knew what Zhao Gushen meant, and her whole body blushed with embarrassment.

She just heard Zhao Gushen urging softly, "Say it for me now."

Ye Fei’s face turned beet red, her mouth tightly shut, unable to speak.

Zhao Gushen showed a dejected expression, saying, "Didn’t you ask me which way I liked hearing you call me before? And you felt like you weren’t treating me well enough, so why are you backing out now?"
