He unexpectedly becomes a father at the start of his life, and the mother of his child is a national

Chen Hao felt a warm glow inside from his daughter's praise, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face. He reached out and gently pinched her little cheek.

"Our Sisi is very brave too. She hugged her mother tightly just now and didn't cry at all. She protected her mother very well."

"Of course!" Sisi proudly raised her little face, her chin held high, looking quite smug.

"Sisi is Daddy's daughter. Daddy is brave, and Sisi is brave too. I will protect Daddy and Mommy from now on!"

Lin Caiwei walked beside them, quietly listening to the conversation between the father and daughter. Her tense nerves gradually relaxed, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up. The panic in her eyes was gradually replaced by gentleness.

She stole a glance at Chen Hao's profile; the light shone on his face, softening his features. Then she looked at his chattering daughter in his arms.

A long-lost warmth suddenly welled up in my heart; I hadn't felt that sense of having someone to rely on and someone to accompany me in a long time.

The two walked along without saying anything more, but they didn't feel awkward at all.

As they walked out of the park and crossed the road, Chen Hao subconsciously moved closer to Lin Caiwei, gently placing one hand on her side to protect her, as if afraid that late-returning vehicles might not notice them.

After crossing the street, they arrived at their residential compound. The compound was very quiet, with only a few residents hurrying past as they returned home late.

They walked with their heads down, unnoticed by the family of three, and even less aware that they had just experienced a dangerous fight.

Once inside the elevator, Sisi reluctantly got off Chen Hao. Her little legs had barely touched the ground when she immediately stretched out her two tiny hands.

Holding Chen Hao's hand in one hand and Lin Caiwei's hand in the other, her little face was full of satisfied smiles. She would shake their hands from time to time, looking very happy.

"Today was so much fun!" Sisi exclaimed, her little face tilted up, her voice echoing softly in the elevator.

"It was so much fun! Sisi had so much fun playing with her parents and even saw her dad fight the bad guys! She'll never forget today and wants it to happen every day!"

Lin Caiwei looked down at her daughter's innocent smiling face, and a complex mix of emotions welled up in her heart—bitterness, warmth, and a touch of reluctance.

Tonight was indeed very thrilling; I still feel lingering fear when I think about it, but it's also truly unforgettable.

This was the first time she had gone out with Chen Hao and Sisi since she came back, and it was also the first time she had felt the warmth of a family of three. This feeling made her reluctant to let go.

The elevator dinged as it arrived at their floor.

Chen Hao bent down and picked up Sisi again. Lin Caiwei followed behind them, walked out of the elevator together, and took out her keys to open the door to their home.

The moment she closed the door, Lin Caiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

She leaned against the cold door, slowly closed her eyes, and gently pressed one hand against her chest to calm her emotions.

Then he slowly took off his hat and mask, exhaled a long breath, his voice tinged with weariness yet filled with relief:

"Finally back! That scared me to death!"

Chen Hao put Sisi down, bent down to change into his own slippers, then picked up Sisi's little slippers and helped her put them on. He then turned to Lin Caiwei, who was still leaning against the door, and said:

"You take a break and relax. I'll take Sisi to take a bath, and then let her go to bed early. She's been up all day."

Lin Caiwei opened her eyes, nodded, and forced a smile: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Hao smiled and shook his head:

"It's not hard work, it's what I should do."

As he spoke, he reached out to take Sisi's hand, preparing to walk towards the bathroom.

Unexpectedly, Sisi suddenly grabbed his hand, stood still, tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of expectation, pursed her lips, and asked cautiously:

"Dad, tonight... will the three of us sleep together?"

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face froze. He never expected that his daughter would suddenly ask this question.

He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what was happening, feeling a little lost.

On the other side, Lin Caiwei was also stunned. She was about to turn around and walk towards the bedroom when she heard Sisi's words. Her steps stopped abruptly, her body stiffened slightly, and the expression on her face became somewhat unnatural.

The living room fell silent instantly, as if the air itself had frozen, with only the ticking of the clock on the wall remaining. One second, two seconds, three seconds passed, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Chen Hao squatted down to be at eye level with Sisi, quickly thinking about how to answer.

Although he and Lin Caiwei share a daughter, Sisi, they are not husband and wife.

They weren't even officially boyfriend and girlfriend; their paths only crossed again because of Sisi.

They usually maintain a certain distance when they are together, and they are not so close that they can sleep together.

He was worried that his answer would embarrass Lin Caiwei, and he was also worried that it would hurt Sisi.

So he quickly stepped in to defuse the situation, using a gentle tone, almost like coaxing a child:

"Sisi, be good. Mommy has to take a plane to work tomorrow, so I need to rest early and get enough rest. We can't disturb Mommy's sleep tonight, okay? Daddy will sleep with you and tell you a story."

Upon hearing this, Sisi's little mouth immediately puffed up, like an angry little ball. The smile on her face disappeared, and the expectation in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a look of grievance.

"But..." Sisi blinked her big eyes, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, her voice becoming soft and carrying a hint of grievance.

"Sisi wants to sleep with Mommy. Mommy rarely comes back, and Sisi really wants to sleep with Mommy just for one night, okay?"

As the little guy spoke, his eyes reddened and the tip of his nose turned slightly red, making him look pitiful and so wronged that it was impossible to refuse him.

Hearing her daughter's aggrieved voice, Lin Caiwei's heart softened instantly, and all her embarrassment and concerns vanished in that moment.

She walked quickly over, squatted down in front of Sisi, reached out and gently stroked Sisi's little face, and said in a voice so gentle it could melt your heart:

"Sweetie, don't cry. Mommy will sleep with you tonight, okay? Mommy wants to sleep with you too."

Sisi's eyes lit up instantly, and the grievance on her face vanished without a trace. She nodded vigorously, as if afraid that Lin Caiwei would change her mind.

"Great! That's wonderful! Thank you, Mom!"

But her joy lasted only a second before she frowned and quickly asked again:

"What about Daddy? Does Daddy sleep with Sisi too? I want both Mommy and Daddy to be with me!"
