When he heard it from Shu Ying, he was worried that he was not a good father and whether his two children would truly accept him.
Shu Ying took the bowl and noticed that Xie Zhiyan hadn't taken it. She turned around and saw him staring at the two children, lost in thought.
Feeling a little puzzled, she pushed a chair over and sat down, serving him a bowl of rice and placing it in front of him.
"The children are doing well, and they've been behaving well lately. The teachers at school all say they're learning very quickly. So why are they looking at the two children with such strange eyes today?"
Xie Zhiyan's eyes were filled with undisguised love. "It's nothing. I just remembered that the boy told me that Tuantuan seemed to reject him. I know that's a normal phenomenon, but I still can't help feeling a little fortunate that both of our children like him. It shows that at least I'm a responsible father."
Although he missed out on his two children's upbringing for the past few years, he will do his best to make up for it in the future.
“Yangyang had a lot of complaints about me back then, but I know I can’t blame the child. If I had been there to protect you and the children, they might have accepted me sooner.”
He always stood from the perspective of a father, befriending his children as equals, rather than treating them as young appendages.
Shu Ying's smile deepened. "You are the children's biological father. There is a natural blood relationship between you. Even if the children may reject you at first, as time goes by, they will know your character and understand your good intentions. Everyone has their own unavoidable difficulties. The children are just young, but they are not ignorant. When they grow up, they will know what a great person you are."
Even during the years when Xie Zhiyan was out of contact, Shu Ying never said a bad word about him in front of the children.
She always felt that as the child's father, he should retain the right to visit the child, and even if the news of Xie Zhiyan's sacrifice came one day, she would take the children to his grave.
Fortunately, they were reunited as a family, and their current family happiness is the best possible outcome.
"You've worked so hard all these years, raising two children so well all by yourself. If it weren't for your help, the children might not have accepted me so quickly. I know that I haven't always done everything I could. I'm busy with work and don't have much time to spend with you and the children. Marrying such a wonderful wife like you must have been the best luck I've ever had."
Shu Ying felt goosebumps rise on her arms from hearing this, and she quickly placed a hand on Xie Zhiyan's lips to interrupt his continued spellcasting.
"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and eat. Let's stop with these mushy things. We've been married for so many years, and I still can't stand hearing these kinds of words."
Although she always speaks with a gentle and tender tone, she is not a sentimental person at heart. She always feels a little strange when she says these emotional words.
Xie Zhiyan smiled and looked down. He saw the two children staring intently at him, their round little faces incredibly cute. He couldn't resist reaching out and pinching them.
