I Hate You, Devil! Chapter 53 From now on

Chapter 53 From now on

"Mister, are you our daddy?"

The words that left Shen Rui's mouth caused the emergence of a deep silence. The scene turned unbelievably quiet that the faint sound of birds in the forest could now be heard clearly.

Luo Xiaolei's eyes were wide as she looked at Little Rui. When Little Rui asked her while they were hastily leaving her apartment, Luo Xiaolei told him that they were going to his daddy's house because she couldn't think of something else to tell him at that moment. She knew that this clever child wouldn't have stopped asking if she didn't satisfy his curiosity and he would probably have asked endless question once she spouted some reason that didn't make sense. Thus, telling him that was the easiest way out.

She had planned to speak with Yu Chen first and explain everything to him, as well as discuss things about the children with him, but who would have thought that this little Rui would ruin her plan? Who would have thought that the first thing the child would say to Yu Chen the moment they met was to ask him if he was their dad!

Somehow, Luo Xiaolei felt like she was doomed. She couldn't even imagine how Shen Rui's unexpected question would shock Yu Chen.

Feeling quite anxious, Luo Xiaolei slowly turned her gaze on Yu Chen. She wanted to immediately explain but the moment she saw him simply looking at Little Rui like the gorgeous man had just turned into a perfect lifeless mannequin, Luo Xiaolei was rendered speechless. Yu Chen didn't move. He stood there like a frozen statue, as if the wicked witch of the west flew over him at that moment and froze him into a lifeless stone. Not even his eyelids moved to blink. Although, she couldn't see any change of expression on his face, seeing him standing frozen like this was more than what Luo Xiaolei had expected. It looked like Little Rui's words were too much of a shock for him.

A few more seconds of silence went by and Luo Xiaolei finally decided to speak. However, before her mouth would even form a word, the little brave guy staring at Yu Chen seemed to finally lose his patience waiting for his reply so he turned and looked up towards Luo Xiaolei.

"Mommy, is this person our dad?" Little Rui asked, breaking the silence, surprising Luo Xiaolei. Wait Little Rui, how could you ask me that in front of Yu Chen? I haven't talk about this with him yet! T^T

"Uh… uhm…" Luo Xiaolei was loss for word. All she could do was look at Shen Rui and then at Yu Chen, who finally moved and was now looking at her as though he too was waiting for her answer. Err… what am I supposed to do in this situation? Why did it end up like this?!

Somehow, the gazes that were being thrown at Luo Xiaolei were throwing her off her rhythm that she couldn't even think about what was the best thing to say. She wanted to just say 'yes' but she was worried about Yu Chen's reaction. What if he gets mad? After all, how could he even accept being suddenly turned into a dad when all he did was open his door for them?!

"Err… uhm… that… L-little Rui… Actually I…"

Just as Luo Xiaolei decided to tell Little Rui the truth, Yu Chen unexpectedly spoke.

"They… call you 'mommy'?" he suddenly asked as his gaze on Luo Xiaolei turned intense.

Quite a bit confused about why he asked her that, Luo Xiaolei could only nod her answer. "Y-yes."

The moment she said 'yes', Yu Chen swiftly crouched down so he could meet the little guy's eyes.

"Mm. You're right. So from now on, don't call me 'Mister'. Call me 'daddy'." He said and Luo Xiaolei's eyes almost bulged out.

Meanwhile, a certain man hiding somewhere, eavesdropping, almost fell on his own the moment he heard what Yu Chen said.

'G.o.ddammit boss!! You accepted being their father just like that? Just because those kids called miss Luo 'mommy'? Oh my goodness!! Is this world about to end or something?!'
