Chapter 228: Chapter 228 When Does Momo Change Her Way of Addressing? Chapter 228: Chapter 228 When Does Momo Change Her Way of Addressing? Lin Qi was startled by his enthusiastic response.

Momo’s sudden call of “Mommy” took her so off guard that she didn’t have any psychological preparation, and she was taken aback.

Seeing that she had no reaction at all, Momo felt a little disappointed and shyly snuggled into her embrace, looking up at her with a confused expression: “Mommy, why aren’t you speaking?”

Lin Qi asked dazedly, “What did you just call me?”

“Mommy!” Momo, noticing she was still bewildered, hooked his arms around her neck and tiptoed to whisper tenderly by her ear, “Mommy!”

Lin Qi asked, “Why did you… suddenly start calling me that?”

She looked towards Huo Tingdong.

Huo Tingdong said, “He already knows about his own parentage.”

Lin Qi said, “Didn’t you say that the identification results haven’t come out yet?”

Huo Tingdong replied, “They’re out now. You are indeed Momo’s biological mother.”

Lin Qi was a bit amused and annoyed: “Then why didn’t you tell me? When I asked you, you said the results weren’t out yet.”

Huo Tingdong said, “That was Momo’s idea of giving you a surprise, but it seems…”

Momo said, “What kind of surprise is this? Just changing your address to ‘Mommy’?”

Han felt aggrieved and protested, “You don’t understand! You’ve always called her ‘Mommy’ since you were little, but it’s different for me; this is my first time.”

This was the small sense of ceremony that Momo valued.

His “Mommy” was the first time he formally changed how he addressed her, whereas Momo had always called her that; naturally, he didn’t understand that for Han, this “Mommy” was incredibly precious.

Lin Qi felt both heartache and touched.

She could feel the delicate tenderness from Han.

Lin Qi hugged Han tightly and teary-eyed, said, “Han, I’m sorry…”

Her heart was overwhelmed with myriad complex emotions.

Seven years…

She and Han had been separated for seven years.

During those seven years, she had always thought that Han had really passed away, not knowing that he was alive and well, back to his father’s side. But no one knows how much hardship he had suffered before the age of three.

To Lin Qi’s surprise, Han asked, “Why does Mommy need to apologize to me?”

With tears in her eyes, Lin Qi said, “Because it’s Mommy’s fault, Mommy was careless and lost you for so long.”

Han was stunned for a moment but then gently smiled, lightly stroking her hair: “Mommy, don’t cry. You haven’t lost Han. Han is right here in front of you.”

As he spoke, he affectionately kissed her cheek: “Be good, Mommy, don’t cry. It makes Han sad to see Mommy’s nose gets all teary!”

Momo couldn’t help but feel his eyes moisten as well.

He suddenly walked over and hugged Han from behind: “Han, from now on, we are a real family!”

A real family.

A family bound by blood…

Han said, “Then shouldn’t you start calling me differently too?”

Momo blinked, “Call you what?”

Han said, “You should start calling me ‘big brother’!”

Momo was not convinced by this: “Where do you even look like my older brother? Otherwise, let me be the brother!”

He believed he had more of an elder brother’s presence compared to Han.

Han said, “But I’m older than you.”

Momo replied, “You just came out a few minutes before me, and that makes you older? A brother who’s only older by a few minutes doesn’t count.”

Han insisted, “I’m still your brother.”

Momo crossed his arms: “A brother is supposed to take care of and protect his younger sibling. Don’t you think I take care of you more?”

Han looked like he had deep grievances; he thought that after recognizing his Mommy, Momo would acknowledge him as a brother.

Now, with Momo reluctant to call him “big brother,” he felt somewhat heartbroken and a little wronged.

Lin Qi intervened: “Momo, Han really is your older brother.”

Momo replied, “He’s like my little brother to me. Is it that bad for me to be the older brother?”

He looked at Han, especially when Han was coyly snuggling in Lin Qi’s arms like a little lamb, without any semblance of being an elder brother.

Huo Tingdong suggested, “Han, why don’t you be the younger brother?”

He too thought that Momo seemed more like the older brother.

Han felt wronged, “You…”

Suddenly something dawned on him, and he looked at Momo: “Momo, I’ve changed the way I address her. When will you change yours?”

Momo asked, “Change to what?”

Han said, “I no longer call her ‘Aunt Qiqi.’ I call her Mommy now. So Daddy, when will you call him ‘Daddy’?”

While saying this, he pointed his soft, pale fingers towards Huo Tingdong.

Huo Tingdong’s gaze fell on Momo.

Indeed…

Momo had not yet started calling him “Daddy.” He thought the little guy was not used to changing how he addressed him, but now that Han had changed, Momo had no reason not to.

Now it was Momo’s turn to feel awkward.

He looked at Huo Tingdong, his brow furrowed, lips parting, but he couldn’t say the word.

Han teased, “‘Dad, dy,’ it’s not hard to pronounce.”

Momo retorted, “What do you know! It’s not so easy to change how we address each other. He hasn’t married Mommy again.”

Han righteously claimed, “Even if they haven’t remarried, your dad will always be your dad. Just like Mommy will always be my mommy, whether Daddy and Mommy remarry or not, it doesn’t change that fact.”

Momo squinted his eyes, wondering when Han had become so articulate, speaking such a long sequence of words so smoothly – something he would have struggled with before.

Lin Qi asked, “Momo, are you unwilling to recognize your dad?”

Momo shook his head, “No.”

Lin Qi confusedly asked, “Then why don’t you want to change how you address him?”

Momo said, “I don’t like the taste of ‘losing!'”

His words stunned both Lin Qi and Huo Tingdong.

Momo looked up at Huo Tingdong and asked, “If I call you ‘Daddy,’ can you guarantee that no matter what, you and Mommy will always be together and never part again?”

He paused, then turned to Lin Qi, “If one day, you two suddenly decide to divorce again, wouldn’t Han and I lose a parent?”

Han patted his shoulder: “That won’t happen, if Dad and Mom divorce, I will definitely stay with Mom.”

Huo Tingdong: “…”

Momo couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “Whether you can stay with Mommy is not up to you, it’s for the court to decide. If Mommy and Daddy go to court, and you are awarded to Daddy, then you can’t go with Mommy.”

Lin Qi said, “We haven’t remarried yet, and you’re already discussing who gets custody after a divorce?”

Momo said, “Because you have divorced before, I don’t know if his intentions to remarry you are genuine, or just to give Momo and I a complete family.”
