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

A few seconds later, Lin Caiwei's voice came through, noticeably nasal and a little hoarse, revealing that she had been crying and was very emotionally unstable: "Chen Hao, have I really let Sisi down?"

Chen Hao frowned, his tone becoming more serious: "How can you say that? You haven't wronged her. Everything you've done is for her, to protect her."

"But she doesn't understand these things." Lin Caiwei's voice trembled with tears as she spoke, becoming more and more agitated. "Other children have their mothers accompany them to activities, parent-teacher meetings, and craft classes, but what about Sisi? She only has a nanny and you."

She's over three years old, and since she started kindergarten, I haven't attended a single parent-teacher meeting or participated in a single parent-child activity with her. I'm such a terrible mother.

"That's not your fault." Chen Hao's tone softened, with a hint of comfort. "You're a celebrity, with a special status. You're afraid of being photographed by reporters, afraid that exposure will cause trouble for Sisi, afraid that someone will hurt her. You're protecting her, and I understand that. When Sisi gets older, she'll understand too."

"But she doesn't understand now," Lin Caiwei cried, her voice choked with sobs. "She only knows that everyone else has their mother with them, but she doesn't. She must feel very wronged, but she's sensible and doesn't want us to worry, so she doesn't cry or make a fuss."

Chen Hao, I really want to be with her, I really want to watch her run on the playground, to see her happy, but I can't, I really can't.

Chen Hao remained silent for a while. He didn't know what to say to comfort Lin Caiwei. He knew that no amount of comfort could make up for her guilt towards her daughter, or her helplessness at not being able to be by her daughter's side.

He could only listen quietly, feeling bad as he listened to her suppressed sobs on the other end of the phone.

"She'll understand." After a while, Chen Hao slowly said, "When she's a little older, when you can gradually reveal your identity, when you don't have to hide like this anymore, she'll understand that it's not that you don't love her, it's not that you don't want to be with her, but that you have to do this because you love her too much."

"Wait a little longer, and everything will be alright when the time is right."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Caiwei sniffed, and her crying gradually subsided. You could hear her wiping her tears with a tissue and her breathing as she tried to calm herself down.

"Chen Hao, tell me... shouldn't I go public?" Lin Caiwei's voice was soft, with a hint of hesitation and longing. "I don't want to hide anymore. I don't want to miss Sisi's growth. I want to be by her side openly, be her mother, accompany her to sports meets, attend parent-teacher conferences, and watch her grow up."

Chen Hao thought for a moment and said seriously, "Now is not the time."

Your tour isn't over yet, and your album hasn't been released. Revealing your identity at this time will greatly impact your career and also cause trouble for Sisi. If reporters chase after Sisi to take pictures, it will affect her normal life.

Let's wait a bit longer. After the tour is over, the album is released, and things calm down, we can make plans slowly, okay?

Lin Caiwei didn't speak, but listened quietly. Silence fell on the other end of the phone again, with only her soft breathing sounds.

Chen Hao continued, "Don't worry, Sisi has me by her side. I won't let her feel like she's missing anything, and I won't let her suffer any grievances."

On Saturday's sports day, I accompanied her alone. I played with her in all the events to make sure she had a great time and to let her know that even if only her dad was there, she was the happiest child.

Lin Caiwei was silent for a few seconds, then softly said, "Thank you, Chen Hao."

Thank you for always being there for Sisi, thank you for taking such good care of her, thank you for accepting everything about me.

"You're saying thank you again." Chen Hao smiled, his tone becoming more relaxed. "Why are you being so polite with me? Sisi is also my daughter. Taking care of her is what I should do. Besides, there's no need for us to be so formal."

Alright, get some rest. You have a lot of events to attend tomorrow, right? Don't stay up too late, take care of yourself.

"Mmm," Lin Caiwei responded, but did not hang up. It was still quiet on the other end of the line; her breathing could be heard.

After a while, she spoke again, her voice soft and pleading: "Chen Hao, can I see Sisi? I want to see her, just for a moment, okay? I know she's asleep, I won't disturb her, just one look is enough."

Chen Hao was taken aback, not expecting Lin Caiwei to make such a request. His heart softened, and he nodded, saying into the phone, "Okay, wait a moment, she's asleep. I'll be quiet so as not to wake her."

He stood up and tiptoed into Sisi's room, making sure his footsteps were extremely light, afraid of making the slightest sound and waking his sleeping daughter.

The bedside nightlight was on, its warm yellow light softly enveloping the little girl on the bed, making her face look warm and especially adorable.

Sisi lay on her side, her little hands gripping the corner of the blanket tightly, her face half-buried in the pillow, her long eyelashes drooping like two small fans. Her breathing was even and steady, her little mouth slightly open, with a faint smile on her lips. She seemed to be dreaming of something happy, and occasionally she would mutter something softly, her voice so soft that it was hard to understand what she was saying.

Chen Hao took out his phone, pointed the camera at Sisi, adjusted the angle to make sure he could clearly capture her little face, and then whispered into the phone, "See? She's sleeping soundly, and she's even smiling."

On the other end of the phone came Lin Caiwei's suppressed sobs, very soft, as if she had covered her mouth tightly with her hand, afraid to cry out loud, and could only suppress her emotions. Her sobs were full of heartache, helplessness, and deep longing for her daughter.

Chen Hao didn't hang up the phone. He just stood by the bed, holding the phone up, letting Lin Caiwei look at her daughter's peaceful sleeping face. He knew that this was the only way for Lin Caiwei to get close to her daughter, and the only way for her to ease her longing.

He stood there quietly, without saying a word, keeping Lin Caiwei company, keeping her company on the other end of the phone, watching Sisi sleep soundly together.

After a while, Lin Caiwei's crying gradually subsided. Her voice came through, so hoarse it was almost inaudible, with a thick nasal tone: "She...she smiled, and her smile was so beautiful."

"Hmm." Chen Hao responded softly, his voice also very soft. "She sleeps like this every day, she often smiles, I don't know what happy things she dreams about, sometimes she even laughs out loud, I guess she dreams about delicious food, or she dreams about playing with other children."
