1742 Father Chi’s Marriage Fate (2)

Chi Shuyan was stumped for a moment at her father’s words, but she quickly came back to her senses. She remembered that she had given her father’s number to her teacher before. At that time, she had hoped that her teacher would have a good marriage, and was afraid that she would meet a scumbag again. Chi Shuyan had wanted her father to introduce her teacher to someone reliable and down-to-earth. After all, her father had an accurate and good eye for people. Whether it was her father’s good friend or a junior he thought highly of, their characters were generally fine. That was why Chi Shuyan could feel assured about handing the matter of her teacher’s marriage to her father!

Chi Shuyan came back to her senses after mulling for a while. She was about to blurt out that it was her teacher, but that wasn’t the case in this life. Both her teacher and her father would be stupefied if she said that. So, Chi Shuyan said, “Mm, it’s a friend of mine who is very, very good to me. By the way, Dad, do you have anyone reliable and who has a good character to introduce to my friend? My friend is especially outstanding and very beautiful!”

After listening to his daughter, Father Chi’s heart immediately turned cold. How old was his daughter’s good friend?

How could he, a middle-aged man, bear to make a move?

Chi Shuyan was also a bit puzzled by the disappointment on her father’s face, but she didn’t think much of it. “By the way, my friend is a little older than me. She’s 28 or 29 years old, but she’s really outstanding, especially good-looking, and has a particularly gentle personality. Dad, can you help me find an outstanding young man of about the same age for her?” After all, this had to do with the rest of her teacher’s life. Chi Shuyan treated the matter very seriously. After a pause, she continued, “A few years older is fine. An older person would be more considerate and doting. Most importantly, there has to be no problem with his character. It would be best if he’s a little more outstanding.” After all, her teacher was also very outstanding. Chi Shuyan wouldn’t be satisfied if her teacher just found someone with a good character and not much else.

In any case, in her heart, her teacher was outstanding enough to be worthy of any man. She firmly believed that no matter how outstanding a young man was, he would fall in love with her teacher when he saw her.

Chi Shuyan was lost in thought and didn’t notice her father’s stiff and embarrassed expression at all. Qi Zhenbai had always been shrewd and extremely good at reading expressions. He calmly took in his father-in-law’s conflicted, complicated and stiff expression.

He didn’t disturb the father and daughter, and listened quietly and seriously to their conversation for a while before he interrupted and probed, “Actually, a few years or a dozen years older is about the same. Perhaps a man who’s a dozen years older will be more considerate and reliable.”

Father Chi’s heart thumped when he heard the words “a dozen years older.” He subconsciously looked at his future son-in-law, afraid that the other party had noticed something. However, his son-in-law’s face was calm, and he seemed to have just spoken off the cuff. Father Chi heaved a sigh of relief.

Chi Shuyan immediately wanted to retort when she heard Qi Zhenbai’s words. She thought to herself that someone a few years older for her teacher was already pretty old, let alone a dozen or so years older. However, before she could speak, Qi Zhenbai beat her to it and said, “In my opinion, a good character and capability is more important than age. Wife, don’t you think so? If the other party is older and has a simple family background, but is outstanding and has a good character, isn’t that pretty good?”

Chi Shuyan was baffled by the nonsense that the man was suddenly spouting. Given this man’s usual character, why would he care about such a small matter?

What this man said made sense, but someone like that was simply too rare. If possible, she naturally wanted to choose someone from a simple family to be with her teacher. Otherwise, given her teacher’s gentle and uncompetitive character, she would definitely be bullied in a complicated family. Chi Shuyan nodded and said, “You’re right, but there are too few men with simple family ties and a good character.”

Chi Shuyan still wanted to expound on her teacher’s merits, and hoped that her father could introduce her teacher to someone better. Unfortunately, for some reason, the man next to her wasn’t prepared to say more tonight, and was in a hurry to take her back to their room.

When they returned to the bedroom, Chi Shuyan was a little unhappy. “I haven’t found out who my dad was on the phone with just now. Why were you in such a hurry to drag me back to our room?”

Qi Zhenbai’s expression was stoic and he didn’t say anything. He immediately picked her up and strode toward the big bed. He threw her down, deftly took off her clothes, and pressed down on her.

Chi Shuyan’s vision turned black under the man’s weight. She flailed around a few times, but was firmly suppressed. She felt even more unhappy. Her father’s matter hadn’t been resolved yet; how could she be in the mood to sleep with this man? Taking advantage of the moment when the man was unbuckling his belt, she raised her foot to kick him off the bed. “Get lost. I have something to say to my father. I’m not in the mood to sleep with you!”

Qi Zhenbai pressed down on his wife’s leg unhurriedly and attacked. Because he hadn’t done it for many days, he was in high spirits. There was no emotion on his face, but there was a hint of urgency and impatience in his movements as he tormented Chi Shuyan. Her voice was a bit hoarse as she stuttered, “No… hey, I really have something to say… to my dad…” As she spoke, Qi Zhenbai blocked the last word with his lips. His tongue dove in and twisted wildly as he suppressed her forcefully, making her no longer have the time to think about Father Chi. For a moment, the bedroom was filled with moans and the creaks of the big bed.

Of course, Qi Zhenbai felt that it was best if his wife didn’t interfere. Otherwise, if his wife continued talking to his father-in-law, his father-in-law really wouldn’t think of making a move.

From what he had seen just now, the person who had called his father-in-law was probably the woman whom his wife had introduced to him before. Whether or not the two of them were already together, his father-in-law appeared to have a good impression of her so far. He might have been moved before, but after what Qi Zhenbai’s wife said tonight, his father-in-law was probably having second thoughts.

Chi Shuyan didn’t know that it was indeed as Qi Zhenbai had guessed; Father Chi had indeed been in contact with her teacher. Speaking of which, the starting point was the phone number which Chi Shuyan had given to her teacher back then.

After that, the two of them kept in contact. At first, they didn’t exchange messages much, and mostly exchanged greetings. Later, for some reason, the messages became more and more frequent. The other party also brought him up from time to time, and her meaning was clear: she expressed that she was happy with him and asked if he had ever been married or had a girlfriend. If not, they could give it a try. If he already had a partner, she wouldn’t pester him.

When Father Chi figured this out, he was a bit stupefied. However, he was sure that she probably didn’t know that his daughter was Yan Yan, and thought that he was an unmarried young man.

After that, he immediately tactfully refused and said that he had been married before. Although he was currently single, he had a daughter who was quite old. In order to make her give up, he deliberately hinted that he was very ugly. He thought that after giving this detailed information, she would back off. Who would have thought that even after she found out about his age, family and looks, she would send him messages every week saying that she didn’t care about his looks or that he had a kid and had been married before; it was fine as long as he had a steady character and they could live a good life. She got along with him and they could talk on a variety of topics, so she wanted to give it a try.

Father Chi had been worried about his daughter and had never considered finding another partner, so he refused without hesitation.

Later, they lost contact for a long time. It wasn’t until he came back from a mission and turned his phone back on that he realized that she had sent him holiday greetings. They didn’t pester each other much, and didn’t keep in touch often. Tonight was the first time she had called him, and she was very frank when she said that she still had a good impression of him. She wanted to do her best, and she really didn’t mind his age and kid, and would treat his kid as her own.

Of course, if he also refused this time, she wouldn’t pester him anymore. She also planned to listen to her family and find another marriage partner!

If it wasn’t for his daughter tonight, Father Chi would naturally have immediately refused after a moment of hesitation. After listening to his daughter tonight, however, he was a little moved. If nothing else, he did have a good impression of the other party. After chatting with her, Father Chi also felt that she was indeed a good person and had a refreshing personality. She was the type he admired. Most importantly, he felt very comfortable with her, so he was a little moved.

Moreover, he also felt that the two of them had quite the fate. The other party had a steady and reliable character; despite him saying that he was ugly and didn’t have much money, she still wanted to be with him. What was that, if not sincerity?

It was really hard to meet such a sincere woman nowadays. Father Chi couldn’t help but be moved.
