1741 Father Chi’s Marriage Fate (1)

The couple naturally sincerely hoped that Father Chi would live well. Of course, Qi Zhenbai also had a selfish motive: If Father Chi found a partner, Qi Zhenbai’s wife would be completely his alone in the future. With someone to take care of his father-in-law, his wife would also be more reassured.

But these words were like a clap of thunder in Father Chi’s ears. Afraid that Zhenbai would carelessly get Mother Qi and the Qi aunts to introduce women to him, Father Chi hurriedly refused. “Don’t, don’t, don’t… Don’t mention this again in the future. You two live your own life and don’t worry about me. Don’t mention this again. If anyone else hears this, what would they think?”

Ever since his daughter’s mother left, Father Chi had never thought of finding another partner. Besides, he was busy.

Afraid that his daughter would still insist that he find a partner, Father Chi hurriedly waved his hand and told the couple to rest early. He was also a little tired and wanted to rest.

Chi Shuyan was helpless when she saw how much her father rejected the idea. She also knew her father’s character, so she didn’t press the issue. She just wanted him to think more about it. “Dad, as your daughter, I couldn’t bring this up too much before, and I didn’t know how to. Now that we’re talking about it tonight, I won’t force you, but I just hope that if you do meet someone you like in the future, you won’t miss out on the opportunity because of a daughter like me. I’ve grown up, and I’m going to be married soon. You don’t have to worry about me. You have to start living for yourself!”

Chi Shuyan was still quite calm at first, but as she spoke, she couldn’t help but feel a little emotional, and her eyes turned red. Her father had suffered a lot all this time for her sake. In particular, her father’s early death in her previous life had always haunted her, and Chi Shuyan hoped that her father could live a better and happier life now. After a pause, Chi Shuyan continued without looking at her father, “Dad, I just hope that you can think more about yourself in the future and not just worry about me. I’ve really grown up and can take care of myself. Even if I can’t, I still have my husband. I just hope you can think more about yourself. This is what I think!”

It was rare for his daughter to be so emotional. After listening to her, Father Chi’s eyes also turned red and he was very moved, but men bled and didn’t shed tears. Father Chi casually wiped his red eyes, but his lips trembled, and he was unable to say a word for a long time.

At that moment, Qi Zhenbai immediately echoed his wife’s words. “Dad, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Yan Yan in the future. Like Yan Yan said, I hope you can think more of yourself in the future. Of course, even if you find a partner in the future, we will all still be a family!”

Qi Zhenbai’s words and expression were very sincere. Father Chi was touched. His bias against his future son-in-law was completely swept away. If it had been for the sake of the child in Yan Yan’s stomach before, he now truly felt that his daughter had a good eye.

Although this kid was too good-looking, he was indeed down-to-earth and reliable. He was very much to Father Chi’s liking.

Father Chi couldn’t be any more reassured this time; he was no longer worried about handing his daughter to this kid now.

Father Chi was in a good mood since his daughter and son-in-law were so filial and were thinking about him. Not long after, he also smiled happily. This time, he didn’t immediately refuse, and only said, “Leave it to fate. There’s no hurry. Besides, I’ve gotten used to being on my own for most of my life. I really can’t get used to the sudden appearance of another person. In short, if it’s meant to be, I’ll listen to Yan Yan then!”

Coincidentally, as soon as Father Chi finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket. The ringtone was the national anthem, and it pretty much ruined the emotional atmosphere. Chi Shuyan was long used to her father’s ringtone, but Qi Zhenbai took a few more looks at his father-in-law. Father Chi inexplicably felt embarrassed under his son-in-law’s gaze. He hurriedly took out his phone and swiped the screen. When he saw the caller ID, his face suddenly stiffened and turned very unnatural. After a moment, he regained his composure and hurriedly excused himself to go out and answer the call.

Chi Shuyan and Qi Zhenbai had long taken in Father Chi’s slightly stiff expression. Chi Shuyan felt that there was something wrong with it. She didn’t know if she was thinking too much, and she simply asked the man next to her, “Husband, don’t you think that my dad’s expression when he answered the phone just now was a little… strange?”

Qi Zhenbai immediately nodded and said, “It was!”

“Could it be that fate has arrived for my dad?” The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more excited and happy she became. However, she was afraid that the greater the hope now, the greater the disappointment later. Of course, if something really was about to happen for her father, she would still feel a small sense of loss, but it would disappear quickly.

In short, she really hoped that her father could live a good life this time and find someone who would be with him for the rest of his life.

At the same time, Chi Shuyan was very glad that she had specially brought up this topic with her father today and indicated her approval. Otherwise, given her father’s character, he might miss out on a good marriage opportunity because of her.

Qi Zhenbai took in the changes in his wife’s expression. Only the two of them were in the living room. He pulled her into his arms out of habit and let his wife lean on him. He pursed his lips calmly and smiled. “Don’t worry. When Dad comes back after his phone call, we’ll know after asking him about it!”

Chi Shuyan nodded.
