After Rebirth, Mrs. He Dotes On Her Husband

346 Dad Is Here

“Dad?” The little boy repeated the word. “I… Can I call you my father now?”

“Of course. You are my child. Naturally, you have to call me Dad.” He Xun flashed a smile.

The hovering child slowly landed on the ground. He walked toward He Xun barefooted.

Even so, He Xun couldn’t see him.

The little boy carefully looked at He Xun’s face.

The man’s overall features were nice. He Xun had fine eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth.

The little boy didn’t know how to accurately describe He Xun’s appearance, but he knew that his new father was exceptionally attractive.

“If I were to be your child, I think I would be very handsome too.”

He Xun heard the child’s tender voice beside him. The little boy seemed to be right in front of him. He should be within reach.

He Xun extended his hands and pulled the little boy into his arms.

The little boy’s eyes widened, and his face was filled with disbelief.

Did his new father just hug him? Right then, he was held by his father.

“Baby, you’ll definitely be gorgeous and adorable. Dad can’t wait to see you,” He Xun said softly.

“Dad…” The little boy sobbed as he leaned into He Xun’s arms. He didn’t have a physical body, so that was the best he could do. Once he raised his hand, his arm would pass through He Xun’s body. But even so, he still felt greatly satisfied.

“Dad is here.”

“Dad!” The little boy wept again. He had called his mother several times in his heart but not his father. After all, his original father was not worthy, and even more so, that man didn’t deserve to live.

The warmth of a new father made the child feel at home. He had a complete family.

“Be good, your dad is here.” He Xun comforted the little boy.

“Dad, I will be leaving. Once I come to your side, I will forget all these things.” The little boy snuggled into He Xun’s arms and greedily sniffed his father’s scent.

He Xun felt a lump in his throat. “It’s alright. Dad will always remember. I will wait for you.”

“Dad, give me a name. It has been so long, but I still don’t have a name.” The little boy wrapped his arms around He Xun’s neck and inched closer to him.

He Xun thought for a moment and said, “Can you be called Aiwei? Because we both love Wei’er, your mother.”

“Good! I have a name. I’ll be called Aiwei!” Aiwei once again cried tears of joy. He finally had a name. This name was given to him by his new father. He was no longer a nameless child.

“Once you are born, Dad will definitely know it’s you. I’ll even give you this name and watch you grow up together with Mom. So, you must come and find us, understand?” He Xun worriedly instructed him.

Although he couldn’t see Aiwei, He Xun could feel that this child was immensely near to him. He should be able to feel Aiwei in a breath. Their hearts were even closer.

“Alright, I’ll definitely come!” His voice was sonorous and powerful. He Xun couldn’t help but feel warm in his heart.

At this moment, the sound of scriptures could be heard in the air.

Aiwei wasn’t flustered at all. He wiped away his tears.

“Dad, they are urging me. I have to leave. You and Mom must wait for me. I’ll definitely come.”

“Yes, Mom and Dad will definitely wait for you!” He Xun reached out to the air in front of him with the desire to touch Aiwei. Even though he knew it was just air in front of him, he still wanted to touch the little boy.

Aiwei obediently moved his face closer to He Xun’s palm and rubbed it gently against his large palm.

The scripture came to an abrupt end. For a moment, the rest of the sounds—the chirping birds and insects, the howling wind, the flowing water—returned.

Everything that occurred seemed to have come to a standstill. He had a fortuitous encounter along the way.

He Xun knelt down again and kowtowed heavily in front of the Child-Giving Guanyin.

He prayed in his heart, “If the Child-Giving Guanyin really exists, please send the child to me and Wei’er.”

When He Xun opened his eyes again, a handful of ashes appeared out of thin air. He looked around, and there was not even a trace of incense.

Then the ashes…

He Xun carefully put the ashes away and placed them close to his heart.

‘Aiwei, is it you?’

The car was still moving when He Xun slowly woke up. Only half an hour had passed, but he felt like a long time had gone by.

He Xun was about to get up and drink some water when he suddenly froze. Somehow, a sachet appeared in his hand. It was a sachet that he had never seen before!

He Xun’s fingers trembled as he untied the string of the sachet. There was a small handful of ashes inside.
