C12 His Future Soninlaw

This is too dangerous. It looks like she needs to come up with a good plan and replace all the household staff.

*Knock, knock...*

She raised her hand and knocked on her dad's door.

"Come in."

"Dad, I'm back."

Niannian smiled as she pushed the door open.

The moment Tianyi saw her, his face turned stern. "Why are you back?"

"Dad, what kind of question is that? Of course, I came back because I missed you. Haven't you missed your precious daughter after all this time?"

As soon as she saw him, Niannian clung to Tianyi, showering him with sweet talk. She knew her dad couldn't stay mad at her for long. In her past life, despite all the things she did that brought shame to the family, he never disowned her.

"There's no daughter as foolish and disobedient as you."

Hearing his pretend sternness, Niannian felt a lump in her throat, almost bringing her to tears. How long had it been since she last heard her dad's voice? It felt both familiar and nostalgic.

"Dad, when was the last time you had a check-up?"

Right now, Niannian was most concerned about his health. Based on the timeline from her previous life, if her dad really had heart issues, the signs should be showing around now.

"Why are you suddenly concerned about my health?"

"Don't dodge the question. How long has it been?"

Did he really think she couldn't tell? At his age, he was still afraid of going to the hospital.

"Ahem... It's been a while since I last went."

Facing his suddenly fierce daughter, Tianyi couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.

Niannian was really afraid of losing her dad, so she decided on the spot, "In a few days, I'll have your future son-in-law arrange it. I'll go with you for the check-up."

"Future son-in-law?"

"What's the matter? Isn't Chenhan your future son-in-law?"

Tianyi thought he must have misheard. To hear her acknowledge Chenhan's status was surprising. Earlier, Ranyan had told him Niannian was so against the marriage that she'd rather run into a wall than agree. What was going on now? Was she just trying to fool him?

Niannian could tell her dad was skeptical, probably thinking she was just trying to appease him, but she couldn't explain further. Without any evidence against Gu Xinmei, she couldn't rashly tell her dad. If he believed her, great, but if not, he might confront Gu Xinmei, and then all her efforts would be for nothing.

"Does your head still hurt? Why aren't you resting at Jing Garden if you're not fully recovered?" Tianyi finally voiced his concern.

"Hehe..." Niannian laughed, taking off her hat to explain, "Dad, I didn't run into a wall to hurt myself. I was just looking at my phone while walking and accidentally bumped into the wall."

"How did she respond, Niannian?"

Shi Niannian admitted sincerely, "I scared Chenhan for fun, and I'm sorry. I was wrong and made you worry, Dad."

"You really shouldn't mess around like that anymore."

Seeing his daughter apologize on her own, Shi Tianyi couldn't bring himself to scold her.

"I understand, I won't do it again," Niannian nodded obediently.

"Dad..."

"Honey..."

Niannian was about to ask about Mrs. Ping when Gu Xinmei came in, calling out.

"When did you get back, Niannian?"

"Just now."

Gu Xinmei was surprised to see her. If she had known Niannian was back, she and her daughter would have been more prepared.

"I heard you ran into a wall and tried to hurt yourself. I was so worried! I wanted to come see you, but your dad stopped me, saying you'd be disturbed while resting. Where are you hurt? Let me take a look."
