Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1770 Father Chi’s Goodwill

Chi Shuyan initially thought that her father would only return to the capital in a few days. She didn’t expect him to rush back at noon the next day, which was a pleasant surprise.

None of them had eaten lunch yet, so Chi Shuyan simply had Qi Zhenbai book a private room at a restaurant for lunch.

In the restaurant, Chi Shuyan was busy talking to her father and teacher while Qi Zhenbai was busy putting food into his wife’s bowl. Before long, her favorite foods had already been piled up into a small mountain. The man continued to put food into his wife’s bowl, and only picked up a few things for himself the entire time.

In the end, Father Chi couldn’t stand it anymore and hurriedly waved his hand. “Zhenbai, eat first. Yan Yan has enough food in her bowl. Let her eat first before you get her more!”

Chi Shuyan came back to her senses and looked down at the small mound of food in her bowl. She immediately had the man next to her eat his own food. When she looked down, she completely missed her father picking up some food for her teacher.

Fu Qing paused, her face still a bit stiff and helpless. She subconsciously looked at Shuyan. Seeing that she didn’t notice Father Chi’s action, she heaved a sigh of relief. She lowered her head and didn’t dare look at Father Chi again as she ate.

Most of the conversation at the dining table was between Father Chi and Zhenbai. Although Father Chi was talking to his son-in-law, his eyes never left the face of the woman next to him.

After he couldn’t help but pick up food for the woman next to him earlier, Father Chi was quite disappointed when he saw that she didn’t look at him again. He then thought of what his daughter had said last night about the onset of good fortune for Fu Qing. The more Father Chi thought about it, the more anxious he became. If it wasn’t for the fact that the occasion wasn’t right, he would have immediately brought this matter up with Fu Qing.

Fu Qing didn’t know what Father Chi was thinking at that moment. She had originally planned to stay in the capital for a few more days, but Father Chi suddenly rushed back. She felt that it was better to avoid arousing suspicion, and go back early.

Since she planned to break things off with him, she didn’t plan to drag things out and make things difficult for Shuyan. The only thing she was glad about was that the two of them weren’t too far into a relationship. Breaking things off would just be a matter of saying a few words, and no one would notice the abnormality between the two of them.

Thinking this, Fu Qing relaxed and continued eating.

Father Chi saw that Fu Qing didn’t even look at him. He couldn’t help but wonder if Fu Qing really had a partner.

If that was really the case, what should he do?

Before Father Chi met Fu Qing, he had never known that there was such a thing as ‘love at first sight.’ He clearly remembered the first time he saw her; his heart had pounded so hard that it seemed it would jump out of his chest.

This was a very strange feeling for Father Chi, who was already middle-aged. These days, he was sure that he really did have feelings for the other party, and had an extraordinarily good impression of her, which moved him very much.

He hadn’t felt like this even when he first met Yan Yan’s mother.

In short, the deepest impression he had of the other party was that everything about her appearance and character was very much to his liking, as if she was his dream partner.

The more he interacted with her, the more he liked her! The sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

He was naturally unwilling to suddenly give up on these feelings. He made up his mind to find an opportunity to make things clear to her in the next day or two.

The more Father Chi looked at her, the hotter his eyes became. How could Fu Qing not sense that Father Chi was looking at her? She was very nervous and helpless.

Father Chi gave his son-in-law an approving look.

Chi Shuyan was suddenly taken out of the restaurant by Qi Zhenbai. At first, she really thought that something was wrong. After getting into the car, she was surprised to hear that he was taking her back to the villa first. “Are we leaving now? Where’s my dad and Sister Fu? Aren’t we going to wait for them?”

“Miss Fu has a gift for Father-in-law. By the way, Wife, didn’t you want to go to the department store to buy some baby products?” Qi Zhenbai curled his lip and asked.

When the man changed the subject, Chi Shuyan really forgot about her father and her teacher as she thought of the baby products. In fact, she didn’t have to worry about baby supplies at all. Before the child was born, all of that had been taken care of by Grandpa, Father and Mother Qi.

According to them, all she needed to do was take good care of the baby and give birth to a healthy child; even Qi Zhenbai had said several times that he would take full charge of the baby items, and had already gotten someone to customize them.

It was just that in the end, this was her first pregnancy, and she was very concerned about the child in her stomach. She also wanted to buy some baby products herself.

Since this man had spoken, she had time now, so she went to the nearby department store with him.

“By the way, why do I feel that my dad and Sister Fu are quite familiar with each other? Also, my dad was quite strange last night!” This was something she hadn’t expected. It had to be pointed out that her father usually avoided acting ambiguously with women. He was a gentleman, but was distant and polite toward women. Why did she feel that her father’s attitude toward her teacher today was a little more intimate?

This thought flashed through her mind, but she immediately threw it to the back of her head. She felt that she had probably been influenced by the man next to her; it was all because this man suspected that her father had a thing with her teacher. That shouldn’t be the case.

Qi Zhenbai took in the subtle shifts in his wife’s expression. Seeing that she still didn’t want to believe him, his thin lips curved up. Thinking of their previous bet, he suddenly looked forward to it very much.

Given his father-in-law’s favorable impression of Miss Fu, he felt that not only was there hope, there would also be progress in the next day or two. His dark eyes flashed before he quickly regained his composure.

At that moment, the phone in Qi Zhenbai’s pocket suddenly rang. Qi Zhenbai picked up the call, and Mother Qi’s familiar voice rang out. “Zhenbai, how’s your wife? Are you coming back to the old residence with her tonight? I’ll make some meat soup for her.”
