1740 Father and Daughter’s Heart to Heart
Chi Shuyan was stumped, before she immediately replied to Grandpa and said that her exams would be held over two days beginning next Wednesday. Grandpa Qi was satisfied with her answer. He immediately set an auspicious date with Father Chi, which was the 18th day of the 12th month in the lunar calendar.
Father Chi immediately nodded in agreement. It wasn’t that he was in a hurry to marry his daughter off, but he was thinking about the ‘child’ in his daughter’s stomach. Father Chi hoped that the wedding would be held before the baby bump became obvious, so that there wouldn’t be any gossip in the future.
Everyone else agreed to the date set by Grandpa and Father Chi. Qi Zhenbai was especially happy. After the date was set, the smile on his lips never faded. His cold, hard face was very gentle. Seeing Grandpa look at him and wait for his reply, he pursed his lips without hesitation and replied with a smile, “I’ll listen to Grandpa and Father-in-law!”
Father Chi also looked at his daughter at that moment, waiting for her answer. Although Chi Shuyan didn’t react immediately, she wasn’t repulsed. Since they had registered their marriage back then, she planned to live a good life with the man next to her, so after a pause, she immediately echoed, “We’ll listen to Grandpa and Dad!”
As soon as she said that, Grandpa laughed heartily. The atmosphere in the living room of the Qi residence became even more harmonious. The family ate dinner together, and the atmosphere at the dining table was very good. Even Father Chi never stopped smiling. Of course, it was mainly because the Qi family treated them well. Everyone in the Qi family treated his daughter especially well, so what was there to worry about? In short, every time Father Chi saw Qi Zhenbai pick up food for his daughter, his gaze on his future son-in-law softened.
After dinner, Grandpa Qi and the Qi family urged Father Chi to stay with them as usual. However, Father Chi declined this time. In addition, Chi Shuyan spoke up for him, so Grandpa Qi and the Qi family didn’t press the issue. After dinner, Chi Shuyan took Father Chi back to the villa. Grandpa Qi still had something to discuss with Qi Zhenbai in the study, so the latter would return later, and he had Qi Hao send Chi Shuyan and her father back first.
It wasn’t long before Father Chi returned to his daughter’s residence. He relaxed. Although the Qi family’s attitude was very good, he was still a little reserved in front of Grandpa Qi and Father Qi.
Chi Shuyan was afraid that her father had been focused on talking to Grandpa and hadn’t eaten his fill. As soon as they got home, she immediately asked her father if he was hungry.
Father Chi waved his hand and had his daughter sit down on the couch in the living room. He said dotingly, “Yan Yan, I’m full from earlier. If you’re free, let’s sit down and chat.”
Chi Shuyan was very happy to do so. Even if she wasn’t free, she would make the time. She hurriedly sat down with her father and said, “Yes, I’m free!”
When his daughter sat down, Father Chi wasn’t in a hurry to speak. Instead, he observed her. She looked very good and had put on some weight. It seemed that she had indeed been doing well recently. Zhenbai, that son-in-law, was taking good care of his daughter.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t help but ask, “Yan Yan, be honest with Dad: How does Zhenbai treat you?
“Do the two of you get along? Is that rascal considerate of you?” After saying that, Father Chi wanted to say more, but hesitated when he looked at his daughter’s stomach. Unfortunately, his daughter’s stomach was still flat. Father Chi had felt stifled before, but now, he was a bit disappointed; of course, it was because he couldn’t wait for the child to be born and call him Grandpa.
Thinking this, Father Chi’s heart melted. It was a pity that he and Yan Yan didn’t spend much time together. After his grandson was born, there wouldn’t be many chances for him to carry him. Father Chi was quite disappointed.
Chi Shuyan was alarmed by the way her father kept staring at her stomach. She couldn’t help but think of how Qi Zhenbai had told her that her father desperately wanted her to have a child. At the thought of a child, Chi Shuyan was flustered. She was afraid that her father would really bring it up. Fortunately, her father kept proving whether or not Qi Zhenbai was good to her, and didn’t say anything about having a kid.
Just as she relaxed, she heard her father suddenly say, “It’s not bad to have a child earlier! The sooner you have a kid, the faster your body will recover!”
Father Chi instinctively said this to comfort his daughter. This was her first time as a mother, so she would definitely be anxious and afraid. If Mother Chi was around, she would be the one to do this. However, he had been his daughter’s only parent for so many years, and the two of them rarely saw each other. He could only use this opportunity to advise her more.
Chi Shuyan, on the other hand, was confused and flustered by Father Chi’s words. She really didn’t plan to get pregnant before her graduation, but her father’s desire for a grandchild made her feel pressured.
Afraid that he would go on about having a kid, Chi Shuyan hurriedly changed the subject. “Dad, have you… ever thought of finding another partner?”
This was an issue she had considered in her previous life. Unfortunately, her father had died early in her previous life, and she hadn’t had the chance to worry about him even if she wanted to. Now, she naturally hoped that her father would find a companion in this life. For one thing, her father was still really young, whether in age or appearance. For another, Chi Shuyan would marry into the Qi family and have her own small family. No matter how much she cared about her father, she definitely wouldn’t be able to take care of him wholeheartedly after she got married. Moreover, a daughter was different from a wife. She really hoped that her father could find a companion who could take good care of him and make him happy.
At that moment, a deep and familiar male voice came from the door. “Dad, do you really not want to find another partner? Why don’t I get my mother and aunts to introduce someone to you?”
