Chapter 215 Father and Son Meet (7)
Inside Xiao Su Nuo’s room, two faces remarkably alike—one large, the other small—were looking at each other. Xiao Su Nuo’s expression morphed from panic to delight, then added touches of shyness and anticipation, while Su Yanmo’s gaze shifted from amusement to indulgence, his demeanor filled with a tender warmth.
"... Are you, you my Daddy?" Xiao Su Nuo had woken up to find himself in someone’s arms and had blurted it out in sheer surprise, startling everyone in the Su family. But when he lifted his head and saw the man who was holding him, his expression immediately changed to one of ecstatic surprise. He had seen photographs of his dad that his mother had shown him, and the man in front of him was identical; so the clever Xiao Su Nuo recognized him right away.
And just like Mom had said, Daddy really did look a lot like him! It must be that thing called ’genetics’ Mom mentioned! But what exactly was ’genetics’? Xiao Su Nuo thought he would probably understand when he grew up.
"Hmm." Su Yanmo nodded and with a palm larger than Xiao Su Nuo’s head, he fondly ruffled his son’s hair. His son was indeed very smart to have recognized him at first glance.
After receiving a positive response, Xiao Su Nuo became both excited and nervous. He pinched the blanket that covered him and blinked with hopeful anticipation, "Then, can I call you Daddy?"
What it feels like to be heart-wrenched, Su Yanmo was experiencing it now. It was like when Yanyi first called him brother as a child, making his whole being soften. Now the former sister-obsessed man also took on the identity of a son-obsessed father, an existence he vowed to protect forevermore in his life.
"Hmm!" Su Yanmo felt, this definitely was the best Christmas gift he had ever received.
"Daddy!" Upon getting the affirmation, Xiao Su Nuo immediately flashed a radiant smile. He, at last, had a dad!
