Chapter 770 Because You Are My Dad
Huo Zhizhou was taken aback.
“Because you are my dad,” Sui Sui continued, her emotions very stable.
"Thank you." Huo Zhizhou reached out and rubbed his head, then squatted down to be at eye level with him.
Sui Sui remained silent.
Huo Zhizhou embraced him.
He knew that what happened today would hurt him, and he also knew that talking about these things would affect his image of his father, but he felt that image was important, and his father's attitude towards things was also important.
He's still so young.
There is still a long way to go.
He can't let him affect him.
"Do you like Mommy?" Sui Sui suddenly asked.
"I like it." Huo Zhizhou said without the slightest hesitation. "I really like it."
“Then I hope you pursue Mommy in a normal way.” Sui Sui noticed the family’s dilemma. “You and Mommy just made up. A too aggressive approach will make Mommy unhappy.”
Huo Zhizhou did not respond.
He knew those actions were inappropriate.
But he waited for too long, so long that she was in his dreams, in his daydreams, and even in his occasional hallucinations.
That's why I couldn't resist going to see her.
“You can invite Mommy out for dinner, send her flowers, and give her gifts other than jewelry,” Sui Sui suggested. “You can also establish working relationships with Mommy.”
“But that requires the opportunity,” Huo Zhizhou said.
If there's a normal road to take, who wouldn't want to take the normal road?
But he knew very well that he couldn't get Jiang Ruan to come out, and using other intermediaries to do so would be useless. It would be better for him to find a way to get closer to her by climbing over the wall.
After all, Ruan Ruan's family is different from other outsiders.
“I can help you,” Sui Sui said. “As long as you don’t climb over the wall or take those weird routes, I can arrange for you to have a meal together, but that’s all.”
Dad and Mom's relationship has improved.
They all want their child to be happy.
Mommy is willing to have an occasional parent-child meal and doesn't feel uncomfortable about it.
"You?" Huo Zhizhou looked at him.
“Yes,” Sui Sui said.
Huo Zhizhou remained silent.
Sui Sui was a little unhappy with his attitude: "You don't believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe you." Because of previous precedents, Huo Zhizhou really couldn't fully trust his child. "How can I be sure that he really wants to help me or that it's just a delaying tactic?"
Sui Sui was just about to say it.
Huo Zhizhou then said something else: "Have you forgotten how you treated me before?"
Sui Sui: "How should I treat you?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Don't want me, find twelve new fathers."
Sui Sui: "..."
Huo Zhizhou: "It's not my turn, even if it's someone else's turn."
Sui Sui: "..."
Huo Zhizhou: "Still call me Uncle Huo."
Sui Sui: "..."
Sui Sui: "I was angry. Who told you to bully Mommy?"
Huo Zhizhou said, "Aren't you angry now too?"
Year after year, silence fell.
After a while.
He spoke up: "I'm angry now, but I also want you and Mommy to be well."
"Not betraying us?" Huo Zhizhou asked.
“If you do what I say, I’ll let you and Mommy eat out.” Sui Sui said seriously, “and I’ll also give you permission to enter the house.”
Huo Zhizhou agreed after only a second of consideration: "Okay."
It's a good thing that Ruan Ruan is willing to eat with him and Sui Sui.
Over time, the relationship will improve.
"Really?" Sui Sui didn't expect him to agree so readily.
"Hmm," Huo Zhizhou replied, while also mentioning his conditions, "But we can't eat together only once in a long while, and you can't keep me from going to your place for ten days or half a month at a time."
"I'll go back and discuss it with Mommy." Sui Sui wouldn't make a decision on her own, after all, it concerned her mother. "If Mommy agrees, we can go out for a meal once a week, and you'll be allowed to come once a week."
"Three times," Huo Zhizhou bargained.
Sui Sui: "No."
Huo Zhizhou looked at him without saying a word.
Sui Sui insisted on this: "Three times is too frequent, twice at most."
Huo Zhizhou: "Okay."
Sui Sui: "?"
Several question marks appeared between Sui Sui's brows and eyes.
He felt like he'd been tricked.
After careful consideration, he emphasized again, "What I just said is only a tentative plan. The specifics depend on whether Mommy agrees. If she doesn't agree, we will have to follow Mommy's wishes."
"It's alright," Huo Zhizhou said deliberately. "If we meet less than three times a week, I'll make up the rest myself."
Sui Sui: "???"
Huo Zhizhou: "Let's go eat."
Sui Sui: "You want to bypass the wall?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Climbing over the wall is nothing new."
Sui Sui frowned at him and said, "Then what are you going to do? Let me make this clear first: if you do this again, I won't help you."
"It's fine if I don't help. I can just use some special methods." Huo Zhizhou was very calm about this. He was very good at handling children. "If you don't want me to bother you too much, you'd better work hard."
He stared at her every year.
I realized I'd been scammed.
"Don't think about it. As long as you do your best, I will keep my word." Huo Zhizhou poked his head and led him towards the restaurant.
He remained silent all year.
For the rest of the day.
Sui Sui always stayed with Huo Zhizhou. The two would bicker, check each other's progress, talk about the past and the future. Their seemingly discordant conversations turned out to be quite harmonious.
Before we knew it, it was evening.
Sui Sui had just finished eating when he received a voice message from Jiang Ruan: "Baby, are you still at your dad's house?"
Sui Sui immediately replied: "Yes!"
Jiang Ruan sent another message: "Su Zhu and I are coming to pick you up. We'll be there in about twenty minutes. Wait for us."
Sui Sui replied happily, "Okay~"
Seeing him sitting there beaming with joy, his legs swinging back and forth, Huo Zhizhou teased, "You're this happy just to hear your mommy's coming to pick you up?"
"Yes," Sui Sui readily admitted.
"And me?" Huo Zhizhou asked.
Sui Sui's round, bright eyes were incredibly cute: "What are you?"
"Are you willing to leave me here alone?" Huo Zhizhou asked calmly, his face extremely handsome. "Have you considered having your mother take me back with you?"
Sui Sui: "?"
Sui Sui: "What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight?"
Huo Zhizhou corrected, "It's evening now."
Sui Sui: "It's daytime before it gets dark."
Huo Zhizhou: "Not going to consider it?"
“Of course I won’t consider it.” Sui Sui said naturally, “If I take you back after just one day, what will Mommy think? You’re willing to make her sad, but I’m not.”
Mommy is divorced from Daddy. Bringing Daddy back without her consent would be disrespectful to her.
Mommy won't interfere or stop him, but he has to respect and be self-disciplined.
“If you really miss Mommy, then go back to Jingzhou.” Sui Sui was unaware of his falling out with Mr. and Mrs. Huo. “Grandpa and Grandma are there, and you probably haven’t been back for a long time.”
Huo Zhizhou's expression remained unchanged.
He didn't explain, but just argued with him: "But I only like your mommy."
Sui Sui: "You really like it?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."
Sui Sui: "You like it even more than me?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Of course."
“Then when Mommy comes later, you can hug her arm and act cute,” Sui Sui said deliberately. “Speak to her in the same voice as me, and I’ll consider taking you back.”
