Fu Tingchen hugged her tightly, and the emotions of being moved, ecstatic, sad, bitter, regretful, heartache and regret in his heart rushed up and drowned him.
Shen Yao felt the connection between her neck and shoulders, and drops of hot tears fell. Then she heard Fu Tingchen sobbing. He apologized to Shen Yao in a trembling voice:
"I'm sorry, Yaoyao, I really didn't know... I... I really didn't know the baby existed back then."
"I'm sorry... for making you endure so much alone..."
"Thank you also... for being willing to keep them."
"For the rest of my life, let me make it up to you and the baby, okay? Yaoyao?"
………
He talked a lot, and Chen Yao listened patiently the whole time, patting his back from time to time to comfort him.
This was the first time she saw him cry.
It is hard to imagine a tall and strong man in a suit lying on a woman's shoulder, shedding line after line of hot tears, his voice choked and trembling.
It was unknown how long it took before Fu Tingchen's emotions finally calmed down.
Chen Yao took out some paper from the table and gave it to him, asking him to wipe his face. She said, "Since I left you, I haven't been with anyone else. Over the years, I have been living with my three children. We are actually doing okay, but every time they ask about their father, I don't know what to say."
Fu Tingchen: "Then...what did you say?"
Chen Yao: "I usually keep it vague, saying that when they grow up, they can see their dad."
Fu Tingchen just felt a pang in his heart.
Chen Yao continued, "So next, we have to discuss a unified statement, and then find a suitable time to tell the children that you are their father."
Fu Tingchen nodded and said, "Well, the sooner the better. I want to meet them sooner."
Ten minutes later.
After Chen Yao and Fu Tingchen discussed the matter together, they left the study and went to find the three children.
Shen Han, Shen Lin and Shen Ran were having fun when they were suddenly dragged into the living room. They were a little confused.
Usually, after returning home, they all play small games on their own, such as puzzles, building blocks, cars, etc. Their mother has her own things to do, so she hardly interrupts them and only calls them when it is almost time for dinner.
But today, it seems very different?
Especially since there was one more person in the house than usual, and there was an extra layer of tenderness and kindness in that person's eyes when he looked at them, so it was particularly different.
After Chen Yao asked them to sit down, she said, "Now, Mom has something very important to tell you. From now on, each of you must listen carefully."
Shen Han: "Okay, Mom."
Shen Lin: "I will listen carefully, Mom."
Chen Ran: "Mom, tell me."
After organizing her words, Chen Yao said to them, "Didn't you always ask me about your father before? Now, I will tell you directly that the uncle sitting in front of you is actually your father."
After she finished speaking, Shen Han, Shen Lin, and Shen Ran all widened their eyes and stared at Fu Tingchen in front of them in disbelief.
They were still confused. Uncle, how come he suddenly became dad?
Fu Tingchen explained to the three children according to the wording he and Shen Yao had discussed in advance: "Before, Dad was separated from your mother, so he didn't know about your existence. Now Dad just found out, it's actually a little late."
Chen Yao looked at the three children who were obviously still confused and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy? Didn't you often ask me about your father before? Why don't you ask now that your father is here?"
Shen Han asked first: "Mom, is uncle really our father?"
Shen Lin also asked: "Mom, will uncle live with us in the future?"
Shen Ran walked up to Fu Tingchen, looked at him curiously, and then asked in a low voice: "Are you really our father?"
Fu Tingchen pinched her little face and said with a smile: "I really am your father."
Chen Ran instantly became happy. After clapping her hands, she said happily, "Hehe, then I have a father too. I don't have to tell others that my father is busy and not at home anymore. From now on, I will be a person with a father! I..."
As she was talking, she suddenly stopped talking, pursed her lips, and burst into tears with a look of grievance:
"Woo woo... I have a father too..."
"Little Fatty Zhang from kindergarten...you can never laugh at me for not having a dad again..."
"I have a dad... woo woo..."
Shen Han and Shen Lin were infected by her crying. In addition, the triplets were connected by heart and would be affected by the emotions of one of them, so they also dropped little pearls.
After a while, the scene turned into three children crying loudly.
Fu Tingchen felt so distressed, but he didn't know how to comfort them. He could only hold them and sit next to him, then hug them one by one to comfort them, and he was in a panic.
Chen Yao also sat over, patted their backs gently to comfort them, and coaxed them: "It's okay, Dad will always be with us from now on. From now on, Mom and Dad will love you together."
After hearing what she said, the three children cried even harder, as if they had been holding back their grievances and anxieties for a long time and finally found an outlet to vent, with a heart-wrenching momentum.
Fu Tingchen and Shen Yao felt very uncomfortable immediately, and hurriedly hugged them and comforted them again and again, but they knew in their hearts that the children would not stop crying immediately.
Because for them, this is the first time in their lives that they have seen a figure like their father.
In the past three years or so, they might have been able to remain calm, silently feeling curious, expectant, fantasizing and hoping in their hearts. But now, when the role they have been looking forward to has really appeared, they are completely overwhelmed.
Besides, they are just three-year-old babies, how strong can they be?
At their age, they should enjoy endless love from their father and mother and grow up carefree.
Fortunately, Chen Yao had previously chosen to remove the [Hidden Card] and prepare to meet Fu Tingchen again. Now it seems that it was all worth it.
…
At this moment, Chen Yao was holding Chen Han, and Fu Tingchen was holding one in each hand, Chen Ran in his left hand and Shen Lin in his right hand.
They coax the children and kiss their little faces gently, giving them a sense of intimacy and security, and allowing them to truly feel the love from their parents.
Only after they finally cried enough did the house gradually quiet down.
