Chapter 38, Chapter 5: He looks like my dad!
Not only was Ayaka Kirin exhausted from crying, she was also hungry. Eating the snacks bought by Fushiguro Miki, she pitifully sniffled while politely saying thank you.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. At least it had stopped.
Despite saying it had stopped, Ayaka Shiki still had tears in her eyes, her mouth was pursed, and she kept sniffling while eating, looking extremely pitiful.
But anyway, at least she seemed much more stable than before. So Fushiguro Megumi and the others started thinking about how to explain the current situation to her.
Xia Youjie spoke first: "Mingli-chan, your father has been quite busy lately and hasn't had time to take care of you, so he asked me to take care of you for a while. Would you like to come and stay at Uncle Xia You's house for a few days?"
There was nothing they could do. Since Yuki Akahara didn't acknowledge Fushiguro Megumi as her father, Natsumi Yuki could only say that. Otherwise, where else could they conjure up a father for the child?
Zhi Xueya Karin was actually curious about how Xia Youjie and the others had changed over the years, but after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head: "I... I don't want to go."
Xia Youjie wasn't angry; he still smiled gently and asked her, "Can you tell me why?"
"I want a daddy/mommy."
By this time, Karin Origami had vented her emotions and her mind had cleared considerably. She knew that in the eyes of Fushiguro Megumi and the others, she was someone who couldn't even tell who her own father was.
After thinking about it, since she had initially pretended to be unable to distinguish between him and Fushiguro Megumi in front of her father, Oriyuki Karin decided to go along with the mistake and continue to play the role of a silly little girl who couldn't tell people apart!
So her answer was crisp and decisive: "I want to stay with Daddy!"
Xia Youjie explained with a smile, "But your dad has been a bit busy lately and hasn't had time to take care of you."
Busy my ass! What could Fuheishener possibly be busy with? Busy being someone's gigolo?
As always, Yuki Ayaka said, "I don't care, I want to stay with Daddy."
"Your father isn't here right now and won't be back for a while. Mingli-chan, please be a good girl and wait for him to come back, okay?"
"don't want!"
"But even if Mingli-chan says so, your father has already gone out on a mission, and we can't make him come back right now. Mingli-chan, be a good girl and stay with Uncle Xiayou for a few days. When your father comes back, we'll go see him as soon as possible, okay?"
"You're lying!" Zhi Xueya Huali pouted, about to scold Xia Youjie for lying to the child. With Daddy's personality of lying down all day and only working occasionally, how could he not have time?
But then it suddenly dawned on her—they didn't seem to know who her "Daddy" was.
Zhi Xueya Karin paused for a moment, then shouted, "You're lying! I don't believe you! Daddy took me out to eat today! He even had time to straighten his hair and build up his chest muscles to be bigger than before. Although he has a scar on his lip, it's completely healed. He hasn't had any missions lately!"
After saying that, Ayaka looked at them and said, "I've explained it in such detail, you should be able to understand, right?"
Across from her, Xia Youjie was about to make up some more reasons to coax her when he suddenly paused.
Wait a minute... His hair is straightened, his pectoral muscles are bigger, and he has a scar on his lip?
Xia Youjie looked at Fu Heihui: Don't you think the daddy she's talking about... looks a little familiar?
Fushiguro Megumi: ...
──
Inside the bar, the sounds and lights were dazzling, and so were people's hearts.
In a less conspicuous corner, Fuheishen was alone, detached from the hustle and bustle. Even so, his hormonally charged appearance and unique languid, decadent demeanor still attracted the attention of many women.
Some people tried to strike up a conversation with him, and in the past, Fuheishen would never have refused. But today... he wasn't in the mood.
The little one during the day still evoked many memories for him; every glass of wine he drank reminded him of his deceased wife's every smile and frown.
His eyes were half-closed, as if he were already drunk. But in reality, the constitution of a tyrant like him... meant he couldn't get drunk even if he wanted to.
Tsk.
Just then, Fuheshner heard his cell phone ringing—in such a noisy environment, he was probably the only one who could hear the ringing of his cell phone coming from his pocket amidst the loud music in the bar.
He lazily took out his phone and glanced at it.
An unfamiliar number.
That being said, he actually didn't remember anyone's phone number.
He answered the phone, and without caring whether the person on the other end could hear him through the background noise, he lazily said, "Hello."
The person on the other end said in a very calm tone: "It's me."
Fuheishen scoffed, "Don't know him."
opposite:"……"
After a pause, the person on the other end spoke again: "It's me, Fushiguro Megumi."
Fuheishen raised an eyebrow slightly, holding his wine glass: Hmm?
"What's up?"
The father and son communicated in a businesslike manner, rather than like a family.
Fushiguro Keimoto didn't want to contact Fushiguro Jinji either, but since Oriyuki Karin kept calling for her daddy, he had no choice but to make the call.
This was also the first time he had ever called V. Heshel.
"Mingli wants to see you," he succinctly explained the current situation.
Fuheishen'er acted as if it were none of his business: "What does it have to do with me?"
"She wants a father."
"You're her father, what are you doing here?"
“She doesn’t recognize me. She says Dad straightened his hair and has a scar on his lip.”
In other words, she now considers you her father.
Fuheishen: "..."
He could almost hear the little guy calling him "Daddy" all the time.
No, it wasn't just "as if," it was actually Oriyuki Karin shouting on the other end of the phone.
Seeing this, Fushiguro Megumi simply put her phone on speakerphone.
Karin Origami asked into her phone, "Daddy, where are you? Why did you leave me behind?"
Fuheshel remained silent on the other end.
"Hey? Daddy, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Hey? Daddy, are you not going to talk to me?"
Zhi Xueya Karin can confirm that Fukuko Shigeru is deliberately not replying to her, rather than it being due to a bad signal.
She could hear the music, how could the signal be bad! Fuheshen is probably drowning his sorrows in a bar right now!
She was a little angry, so she decided to howl at Fuheishen'er, because she felt that this trick worked quite well on her daddy.
"Waaah, Daddy, are you... are you tired of me and don't want me anymore? Waaah—"
Over here, Fushiguro Megumi, Fushiguro Miki, and Natsuyuki Ketsumi started wailing again, and they all came forward to comfort her.
As Fuheishen listened to the sounds on the phone, he could almost see the little one crying.
He frowned slightly, his mood becoming somewhat irritable.
“I told you, I’m not your father,” Fuheshen replied curtly.
Karin didn't care, and insisted, "You are! Waaaaah... Daddy, please don't abandon me..."
Fuheishen: "..."
He felt the veins on his forehead throb.
Not wanting to hear the crying on the other end, he left with the words, "Go find your real father," and then hung up the phone, ignoring the crying and commotion.
Zhixue Yahuali: "."
She listened to the dial tone as the call was disconnected, glaring angrily at the phone in front of her. Then she snatched the phone from Fushiguro Megumi's hand and dialed back.
Fuheshchen refused to answer directly.
Zhixue Yahuali:? ? ?
She made another call.
Fuheshner refused to answer again.
Weaving Snow Flower Pear Blossoms Again.
Fu Heishener re-accumulated.
Weaving snow, Asia, rosewood, still plucking.
Fuheshchen turned off his phone.
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
"Damn it!" she exclaimed angrily, throwing her phone onto the sofa.
She turned to look at Fushiguro Megumi, blinked her eyes, and pleaded with him, "Brother, can you take me to find Dad?"
Yes, she calls Fu Hei Hui "brother," after all, she's now a child who's mistaken about her father.
Megumi Fushiguro on the other side: "..."
Fushiguro Miki and Natsuyu Jie, standing to the side: "..."
They watched as Karin Ooyuki started crying, and they watched as she abruptly stopped crying the moment the phone call was disconnected, her expression turning to resentment.
The crying stopped abruptly, and the change in expression was so quick that it left all three of them stunned.
Suddenly, I felt like those who had just sincerely tried to comfort the child seemed like complete fools...
──
Karin felt terrible that she couldn't go with her dad. But she didn't make a scene with Fushiguro Megumi and the others. However, when Fushiguro Megumi and the others suggested that she go stay with Natsuyuki at his place, she clung tightly to Fushiguro Megumi's leg to express her refusal.
Of course she's going to follow Huihui!
As for the reason?
Karin Oriyuki's eyes darted around, and finally she pointed at Megumi Fushiguro and said, "Because he looks like my dad!"
Fuhei Hui and Xia Youjie: "..."
He was originally your father.
Of course, Kaori Yuki felt it would be best if Natsumi Yuki could also stay and live with her in the Fushiguro family, but unfortunately, Natsumi Yuki was a person with a job.
Megumi Fushiguro awkwardly explained that he and Miki Fushiguro did not have time to take care of her.
Karin Origami didn't think it was a problem: "I can take care of myself!"
Unfortunately, she knew she wasn't really a child, but Fushiguro and the others didn't. Who would believe that a two- or three-year-old could take care of themselves?
Finally, Xia Youjie spoke up: "How about this, Mingli-chan, you can stay here, and I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning. I'll then take you back after Hui and the others get out of school, okay?"
Karin Origami wrinkled her nose as she thought.
She actually wanted to go to school with Fushiguro Megumi, just like she had with Xia Youjie and the others before. But Fushiguro Megumi's current school wasn't a vocational college; probably only those informal vocational colleges allowed children to attend...
She finally nodded in agreement.
So Xia Youjie went back, while Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Miki took Oriyuki Karin out to buy her some daily necessities.
Meanwhile, in the bar, Fuheishen was still annoyed even after turning off his phone.
For some reason, all he could think about was the image of that annoying little guy crying his eyes out.
He figured the little one was definitely crying again. All she did was cry, and she cried so loudly and ugly that her face looked like a mess from all the crying.
That face...
He tilted his head back and downed another glass of wine, trying to shake the thought off. But soon he realized... the annoying crying sound was still stuck in his head.
Fuheishen'er: Tsk.
He sat there for an unknown amount of time before getting up and leaving the bar.
──
Fushiguro Jinji didn't know why he was back again, since he used to only come back once a year, especially after he sold Fushiguro Megumi to Gojo Satoru.
The lights inside were off, and there was no one inside.
Fuhesh felt as if the empty house was mocking his return.
He frowned slightly in annoyance, then turned to leave. Just then, he bumped into Yuki and Karin, who were returning from shopping.
The two older children were looking down and taking care of the younger one, and none of the three noticed him for a moment.
Doesn't this look pretty good?
Fuheshel didn't intend to go forward; he turned around and left in another direction.
As luck would have it, At that moment, Yuki Ayakari seemed to sense something and turned her head to look in this direction, just in time to see Fukushige's departing figure.
Her eyes lit up immediately: "Daddy!!!"
