1769 Stimulated Father Chi

Chi Shuyan originally wanted her teacher to introduce her to her partner, but seeing her teacher’s strange expression, she couldn’t say much. Afraid that she would be tired from the long journey, she let her go to the guest room to rest first.

After her teacher went upstairs to the guest room, Chi Shuyan planned to go to the study to talk to Qi Zhenbai, or find time later to talk to her teacher. There was something clearly off about her teacher’s condition. Although her teacher’s marriage fate looked good, Chi Shuyan was somewhat worried.

Just then, she received a call from her father.

Chi Shuyan was in a good mood when she received Father Chi’s call. She immediately greeted, “Dad!”

Father Chi’s face subconsciously softened when he heard his daughter’s voice. He asked about her health and the grandchild in her stomach, and also brought up Qi Zhenbai.

Chi Shuyan said that everything was good.

From his daughter’s voice, it sounded like she was indeed doing well. Before he left the capital, he had thoroughly inspected Zhenbai, this son-in-law, and reality proved that this son-in-law really was sincere toward Father Chi’s daughter. He was so good that even Father Chi couldn’t say anything, and he didn’t think his daughter could suffer any grievances at all. Coupled with the Qi family patriarch’s attitude toward his daughter, Father Chi was even less worried, so he started to nag about everyday life.

“By the way, Dad, are you coming back to the capital tomorrow or the day after? Come back quickly. The house has been lively recently. Sister Fu, who is especially good to me, came to the capital this afternoon. You should have seen her last time. Dad, you still remember Sister Fu, right?”

When Father Chi heard his daughter mention “Sister Fu,” his face changed drastically. His words got stuck in his throat. He swallowed a few times and blurted out nervously, “What? Daughter, who’s there?”

Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it and thought that her father had forgotten about her teacher. But how could her father forget a peerless beauty like her teacher?

Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, do you really not remember Sister Fu? You were the one who picked her up last time.”

Father Chi was silent for a long while and didn’t reply. Chi Shuyan was even more puzzled. After a long pause, Father Chi asked again, “Did she really come to the capital? Is she staying with you?”

Chi Shuyan could tell that her father’s tone wasn’t right when he mentioned her teacher, but she didn’t know why. “Mm!”

“Did she… say how long she would be there?”

“Sister Fu has something on and is only planning to stay for a day or two!” That was true, but Chi Shuyan made up her mind to have her teacher stay a little longer this time.

When Father Chi heard this, he immediately felt a little anxious, but he didn’t dare show it in front of his daughter. He paused and gritted his teeth. “A day or two is too short. Daughter, why don’t you keep your friend for a few more days?”

“Alright!”

The father and daughter chatted for a while, before Father Chi suddenly fell silent again. Chi Shuyan keenly sensed that something was off with her father. No, it was very off. After a long while, Father Chi suddenly spoke again. This time, his voice was a little low and uncertain. Father Chi said, “Yan Yan, you said before that you wanted me to find a partner. Do you still think that way?”

What Father Chi cared about the most was his daughter’s thoughts.

As for Chi Shuyan’s desire for her father to find a partner, that had never changed. Now that she was married, her desire for her father to find a partner was even stronger. She hoped that after her father found a partner, he would have someone to belong to. When he went on missions in the future, he would remember to take better care of himself.

In fact, she had thought about keeping her father with her in the future, but her father really was still very young now; it was better to find a partner. She might even have a younger brother or sister.

After all, she could support her father for the rest of her life, but couldn’t replace the companionship that a partner could offer. Her father had met a bad person in the first half of his life, and she had been a burden to him. In particular, he had died early in her previous life. Since she was reborn in this life, she hoped very much to find a woman who could dote on her father and make him happy.

It was very difficult for Father Chi to be moved, but when he heard his daughter’s considerate words, he was especially touched. He could only choke out the word “Daughter” after a long while.

Chi Shuyan didn’t want to get so sentimental, so she only said, “Dad, don’t worry. I really do want you to find someone. Why don’t I contact Aunt Wei and ask her if she knows of a suitable person?”

She still trusted Aunt Wei’s judgment.

Father Chi was both moved and scared by his daughter’s words. He was afraid that she really would look for Sister-in-law Wei. Not to mention that he already had someone in mind, even if he didn’t, he was too old to trouble Sister-in-law Wei. He immediately said, “Daughter, there’s no hurry. I… I have ideas of my own. We’ll talk about it when I return to the capital.”

After all, this was a life decision her father was making, and it was his choice to make. As his daughter, she couldn’t interfere too much. She immediately nodded and said, “Okay, we’ll talk about it when you return to the capital. But, Dad, you should seize the moment. Don’t think you can put me off with just a few words.”

“Alright!”

“By the way, Dad, did you introduce any outstanding men to Sister Fu, like I asked you to?”

As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, Father Chi’s face darkened. Chi Shuyan didn’t know what Father Chi was thinking, but she continued, “I read Sister Fu’s physiognomy today. I see that good news is coming. She should have found a good partner. That’s great!”

Father Chi: …
