Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 369, Section 061: Father and Daughter (Part Two)
"anything?"

Qi Tongli hung up the phone hastily.

Qi Tongli did not show any excessive abnormality towards the person impersonating his daughter.

The young woman leaned against the door, her gaze gentle: "I'm a little nervous, I hope Dad will stay with me."

"Okay."

Qi Tongli pressed some buttons and quietly put his phone back in his pocket.

The woman's eyes lit up with joy, and she walked up somewhat shyly.

"Dad is the best."

She stepped forward gently, wanting to snuggle into Qi Tongli's arms.

Qi Tongli was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat at a loss, but still reached out and pulled the person pretending to be his daughter into his arms.

"dad.

"You've aged so quickly over the years."

The girl tilted her head back, like a swallow returning to its nest, her eyes filled with affection.

Qi Tongli was a little uncomfortable and said, "You're a daughter who's about to get married, yet you're still so clingy. You're still the same as when you were little."

The girl chuckled: "No matter how old a daughter is, she's always her father's little darling."

Qi Tongli's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, gently patting the woman's shoulder and murmuring, "My Tongshan is the best girl."

"dad."

The girl stepped out of Qi Tongli's arms contentedly, looked at him, her gaze lingering on his face, and said, "Tongshan is getting engaged."

Qi Tongli's heart trembled slightly.

Yes.

If this were a real daughter, she would be engaged and marry someone else.

Leaving her parents' home and starting her own family, Qi Tongli might be happy for his daughter, but he might also feel some regret, pity, and sadness.

Unfortunately, it was a fake, so Qi Tongli had no sense of difference before, and was preoccupied with his major plan against the White Walkers.

Only when the woman softly calls him "Daddy" does he remember that he himself tied his daughter's marriage to politics and war, turning it into an insignificant piece of paper, leaving it to be burned to ashes by the flames of war.

No.

She's an imposter.

She was the sacrifice to replace Shan Yatou.

Qi Tongli's eyes narrowed slightly.

He would never feel pity for his enemy, even if the enemy disguised himself as his favorite daughter and could fulfill all his tenderness and desires for his ideal daughter.

Unfortunately, a fake is still a fake.

"Yes." Qi Tongli smiled slightly, "My Tongshan has grown up and is about to have her own new life."

He gently touched the girl's forehead and tied her hair up neatly.
"Dad knows that you may have some reservations about this engagement, blaming Dad for making the decision for you without your consent, or complaining that Dad hasn't spent enough time with you."

"But, Shan'er, when you were playing around before, Dad never stopped you; when you were willful, Dad let you have your way."

"Please trust Dad, he won't do anything to hurt you. If you don't like it, we can always back out."

The woman stopped him, saying, "No need, Dad, I like it very much."

"That's good." Qi Tongli's expression was warm, his eyes almost squinting.

……

After seeing Qi Tongshan off, Qi Tongli slightly furrowed his brows.

Akira Akira may have already relayed the news of human intervention to the General, and all that's needed on our side is to cooperate in closing the net.

He straightened his expression, regaining his usual indifference and composure, and looked at the woman on the other side of the wall, his eyes holding a cold depth.

The man turned on his phone, turned off the recording, and the phone screen returned to the communication page.

The previous caller was Akira Akahoshi, and above that, besides the butler, there was a string of missed calls in red.

Rows of "Shan Yatou" were prominently displayed, with the numbers in parentheses on the right stacked up to 10.
He was silent for a moment, but his finger unconsciously tapped again.

After a long busy signal, he remembered that the silly girl's phone must be broken.

He suddenly felt a surge of joy, as if he had found a topic to talk about.

Yes, just say that to her, "I'll buy you a phone after this is over."

Forget it, that's too sentimental.

The man stared blankly for a while, then silently exited the dialer.

But his gaze lingered on the number "Hanaoka".

The old man has probably locked her up by now, right?

We've already fallen out; won't she get angry again? Will she still consider me her father?

Qi Tongli chuckled and said nothing more.

Suddenly, the phone seemed to sense something and zoomed in on the screen, revealing the name "Hanaoka" prominently displayed above a string of numbers.

Qi Tongli paused for a moment, then immediately dialed the number.

"This is Qi Tongli." He steadied his voice.

"Master," came the voice of Old Master Hanaoka, "Miss...she wants to talk to you."

"I understand, give her the call."

Qi Tongli said.

"Tell the old man that I have something to do, and don't stop me."

Qi Tongli's face darkened: "When it comes to serious matters, there is no room for your nonsense."

"Nonsense? So what if I'm being nonsensical?" Chen Xingtong's voice rose several octaves on the other end of the phone, and you could almost feel the other person's urge to roll up their sleeves and pounce on you through the phone.

"Old Qi, we are father and daughter after all. You know my temper. Even the old man can't control me."

"What did you call me?" Qi Tongli was so angry that his mustache almost stood on end.

"Don't you already know who I am?!" Chen Xingtong sneered, then suddenly shouted, "Still trying to take advantage of me?!"

Qi Tongli was a little confused: "Taking advantage of you?"

The old butler could be heard coughing incessantly from the side.

Qi Tongli was also furious: "I've raised you for so long, and I haven't even settled this score yet, but you're already trying to take the initiative!"

"Master, Miss is actually..."

Hanaoka, the butler, tried to interrupt.

"Shut up, old man!"
They both said in unison.

"You be the judge! I've raised you for so many years, feeding you and dressing you well, and now you call me 'Old Qi'? Am I a nanny or a bodyguard?!"

"It's not like I'm going to eat your food or wear your clothes. I've suddenly gained a cheap dad and have to call him 'Dad, Dad.' Who can accept that?"

"What, do you think being my daughter is a disservice to you?" Qi Tongli sneered.

"Is it an honor to be your daughter?" Chen Xingtong retorted with a sneer.

"This..." Old Master Hanaoka was dumbfounded.

Qi Tongli retorted sharply, "I've been scheming and currying favor all this time, all for who? It's all to clean up the mess that crazy girl is making! You better shut up!"

"Thank you so much!" Chen Xingtong gritted her teeth in anger. "Not only did you delay my mission, but you also leaked my information. If they mistakenly think I've defected to the enemy, where will I put my face!"

Qi Tongli was stunned. He felt that a strange Northeastern accent suddenly burst out from the other end of the phone, like an old lady cursing in the street, which made him feel a little at a loss. Then he was so angry that he trembled: "How can you talk like that, you're a girl!"

"I've been so frustrated! I had to act like a well-behaved, obedient girl, and also like a sweet-voiced lady from a wealthy family. Do you know what I've been through these past few years?!"

"I...I...I don't care anymore!" Qi Tongli simply gave up.

"It's none of your business! Let me go!" Chen Xingtong shouted.

"You wish! You're a spy, you'll be locked up if you're caught!" Qi Tongli retorted.

Grandpa Hanaoka awkwardly touched his nose.

Are these two really not father and daughter?

Let me explain my recent thoughts. Because updates have been too slow and the output rate is unsatisfactory, it's not that I haven't been writing lately—I've written 1 words, but abandoned 50% of it. I currently have three chapters in reserve. So I'd like to discuss with everyone whether it's possible to release everything at once after this volume is finished. This would make the reading experience more coherent…
