Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1776 Song Yanru’s Request

Chi Shuyan’s words simply surprised and delighted Father Chi. However, when he heard his daughter’s last sentence, he was so shocked that he almost choked to death. His face flushed red and he felt helpless. He and Fu Qing had just started dating. As for a child, that was too far in the future to think about.

Father Chi was worried that his daughter would think too much, and he immediately said that they might leave having a child for later. In fact, Father Chi had thought about not having a child, but that would be unfair to Fu Qing.

Father Chi’s latter words alarmed Chi Shuyan so much that her expression changed. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, “Don’t… don’t, Dad, I was just saying. You and Sister Fu should let nature take its course and have a child. If Sister Fu really conceives, let her give birth. I’ll also have a younger brother or sister. That’s good!”

Father Chi was worried at first that his daughter would say something out of anger, but when he took a closer look at her face, he realized that she wasn’t the slightest bit repulsed by him marrying Fu Qing and having a child. Father Chi was completely relieved. That was true. His daughter was no longer at the age to fight with other siblings for her father’s favor. Actually, Father Chi was quite disappointed.

He hadn’t dwelled on it before, but now that he thought about it carefully, he might really have other children in the future. Father Chi immediately put on a rare serious expression and promised solemnly, “Yan Yan, you’re the most important to me. Even if your Aunt Fu and I really have children in the future, you will still be the most important to me.”

It was rare for Father Chi to be so emotional. It wasn’t that Chi Shuyan wasn’t moved, but compared with how much her father cared about her, she wanted even more for her teacher and her father to live a harmonious life in the future. Both of them were the people who were the most important and good to her. She absolutely didn’t want her father to neglect her teacher because of her. Chi Shuyan hurriedly said, “Dad, when you and Sister Fu really marry in the future, don’t be biased and make Sister Fu suffer! I have my own small family now and can take care of myself. Zhenbai is also especially good to me. In the future, as long as you treat Sister Fu well and live a harmonious life as a couple, try to give me a younger brother or sister as soon as possible.”

Father Chi was so moved by his daughter’s words that he almost cried. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her last sentence, and nodded repeatedly.

“Okay, Dad, let’s not talk anymore. Rest early! Go to the hotel early tomorrow to see Sister Fu!” Chi Shuyan teased, making Father Chi blush and hurriedly excuse himself to go back to his room.

After Father Chi returned to his room in high spirits, Chi Shuyan’s gloom was swept away. She heaved a sigh of relief and returned to her room in a good mood.

Not long after she returned to her room, her man also came back.

In the bedroom, Chi Shuyan was sorting out her clothes as she got ready to take a shower. Qi Zhenbai stood behind her and didn’t move, taking in his wife’s expression. Seeing that she was in a good mood after talking to Father Chi, he was completely relieved. It seemed that the father and daughter had a good chat just now. It was good that she was fine!

Chi Shuyan picked up her pajamas and saw the man behind her staring at her without moving, like a utility pole. She was helpless and moved, but she couldn’t help but nag stubbornly, “Why are you standing there? Don’t you have work to do?” After a pause, she quickly said, “I’ll take a shower and sleep first. Don’t work for too long!”

As soon as she stepped into the bathroom, the man followed her. He didn’t go in, but had his wife leave the door wide open. He stood at the door with his back to her as he waited for her.

Looking at this man’s considerate actions, Chi Shuyan’s heart was filled with warmth and melted into a mess. After her shower, she completely threw the thought of her father and teacher getting married to the back of her mind.

Chi Shuyan slept very soundly that night. If it wasn’t for the phone ringing on the bedside table the next morning, she probably would have slept until noon.

Unexpectedly, it was a call from Song Yanru.

Although she and Song Yanru had been in frequent contact after the incident at Dashan Village, they weren’t in the same circle, after all. It wasn’t long before they lost touch with each other.

Still, she had a good impression of Song Yanru.

Chi Shuyan didn’t think for long before she immediately picked up the call. On the other end, Song Yanru wasn’t as cheerful as usual. At that moment, she said anxiously, “Master Chi, it’s Song Yanru. Do you… still remember me?”

Chi Shuyan immediately replied, “Sister Song, what’s wrong? Do you think my memory is that bad?”

“Where do you want to meet? I’ll head over now!”

Song Yanru heaved a sigh of relief and immediately gave her the address of a cafe.

The two met at Cafe No. 1. Song Yanru chose a window seat. When Chi Shuyan arrived, she saw Song Yanru looking out the window absent-mindedly.

Chi Shuyan strode over and greeted Song Yanru as she sat down. “Sister Song, long time no see!”

When Song Yanru saw Master Chi, her poor expression softened a lot. She forced a smile and replied, “Long time no see.” She had also brought along a special gift. She didn’t bring anything especially expensive. After all, Master Chi didn’t lack money. Song Yanru had endorsed a perfume brand before, and she handed over a perfume gift box and said with a smile, “Master Chi, this is a small gift especially for you. It’s nothing expensive, just a token of my appreciation. Take it!”

Chi Shuyan was on friendly terms with Song Yanru. It was clear that the other party had carefully prepared this gift as a little token of appreciation. It wasn’t expensive, which was the only reason why Chi Shuyan accepted the small gift box and thanked her with a smile. She then got straight to the point and asked Song Yanru what was the matter.

At the mention of the main topic, Song Yanru couldn’t smile and her face was still a bit pale. It wasn’t long before she poured out everything.

It turned out that her new manager hadn’t been careful and had recently accepted a role on a new variety show for her. The theme of the variety show was horror games. The previous seasons had been filmed at a haunted house in an amusement park, and hadn’t been that scary.

However, in order to increase viewer ratings and make the variety show even more interesting, the filming location for this variety show had been changed from the haunted house to a century-old Liang family residence in a remote suburb of C City.

It was said that many strange, unbelievable and terrifying things had happened inside, and no one who entered had ever come out. In other words, nothing good happened to any living thing, whether human or animal, that stayed overnight in this residence.

The variety show required Song Yanru to stay in that house for five nights. Ever since she got a role on this variety show, her right eyelid had never stopped twitching. Compared with other people who didn’t believe in ghosts and gods, how could she not believe after what happened in Dashan Village? She had also thought of turning down this variety show offer.

Unfortunately, her appearance on this variety show was as a favor; someone in the company had specially named her and insisted that she accept the role. Although she appeared very influential now, she was actually still subject to the demands of others, unlike Ruan Shenglin and the others, who were freer and less restricted.

Because of this, she had also thought of leaving the industry, but how could she be willing to leave just like that?

“What would you like me to do, Sister Song?” Chi Shuyan asked!
