Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

The tailor nodded.

Gu Qing, shuffling along in her slippers, ran to open the door, asking as she ran—

"Don't you have a access card? What's going on?"

Click.

Gu Qing opened the door and tilted her head as she looked at Qin Hui outside. She couldn't help but think that Qin Hui's complexion was rosy and his overall demeanor seemed much better.

Happiness practically radiated from his face.

"..."

Gu Qing stared at her.

Qin Hui said—

"I forgot my room key at home..."

"At home?"

How come I remember you stayed overnight at Mr. Chen Ming's house?

Qin Hui was slightly taken aback. Seeing Gu Qing's suspicious gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly. Realizing she had inadvertently let something slip, she looked away and said—

"Anyway, I'm here to pick up my clothes..."

"Get your clothes? What do you need them for?"

Gu Qing wasn't stupid. After thinking for a moment, she slowly widened her eyes.

“Huihui…you…”

"I didn't... I didn't..."

Qin Hui hurriedly waved her hands, trying to cover it up, but couldn't say anything, so she could only lower her head.

"..."

Miss Qin, what's with that submissive, submissive look on your face? Your subordinates must be horrified if they saw you like that.

"My God..."

Gu Qing felt a little uncomfortable and said—

“I was a little unsure at first, but you said ‘forgot it at home’... Do you really accept Mr. Chen Ming? Is his home your home?”

"I……"

Qin Hui blushed, her fingers twisting together, unsure of what to say, but it seemed that was indeed the case... There was truly the warmth of home in that house, and she simply couldn't let go of it.

Gu Qing looked at her, suddenly smiled, and said—

What did you say before?

"what?"

"I will not get married. Even if I die, even if I jump off a hotel, I will not get married..."

"..."

Qin Hui raised an eyebrow. She had never said that... she had only said she wouldn't get married; it was all Gu Qing's fabrication.

She pouted, stubbornly saying—

“I’m not getting married… I just want to stay there… Yes, without getting married, like… like lovers.”

Qin Hui clenched her fist.

"..."

Gu Qing looked at her and said with a smile—

"So you've accepted Mr. Chen Ming? You'd stay by his side even as his mistress, wow..."

"You... I can't explain it to you."

Qin Hui was now at a complete disadvantage, so she decided to make a run for it. As she walked in to pack her things, she saw a tailor in a flowing princess dress.

The two had met before and greeted each other.

Qin Hui hurriedly packed her things, grabbed her suitcase, and ran away.

Gu Qing, still standing to the side, said sarcastically—

"Oh dear... life is unpredictable. Even an old woman like Qin Hui has someone wanting her... taking advantage of her wealth to seduce a young woman, tsk tsk tsk..."

The old ox points to Qin Hui.

"..."

Gu Qing seemed really annoying today. Although Qin Hui knew it was just her friend teasing her, she still remembered it and vowed to teach him a lesson later...

Qin Hui gritted her teeth, then slunk away.

Looking back at the hotel, she remembered what had happened and puffed out her cheeks slightly.

When you, Gu Qing, finally find a man, she will definitely repay you tenfold... no, she will repay you even more!

Well, after thinking about it, it seems a bit difficult for Gu Qing to marry a superpowered person. It's rare enough that such a person would be interested in a beautiful woman like Gu Qing who is in her late twenties...

"……Um?"

She pulled her suitcase back to the car, then suddenly frowned.

It seems... with so many strange people in Chen Ming's house, maybe he himself has some kind of ability? And then, speaking of the 27-year-old beauty... she herself is one.

For some reason, it somewhat matches Gu Qing's requirements?

Qin Hui thought about it subconsciously, but quickly put it out of her mind. She should just hurry home; nothing else mattered.

……

……

"Hehehe...Dad..."

Yu's slender body nestled in his arms, a sweet smile on her face as she called him "Dad," her mental energy probably regressing to that of a toddler.

Chen Ming was a little overwhelmed. Seeing the girl, who was not quite a child, clinging to him like this, he felt a little guilty.

This was his own idea.

But in the landlady's eyes, it was clear that he didn't actually dislike the situation... What a pervert, making girls call him "daddy," it was just too much...

But Chen Ming was actually somewhat wronged, since it wasn't him who asked the young girl to call him that; it was her own idea.

"Cough cough..."

He cleared his throat with feigned seriousness, patted Yuqian's little head, and asked in a gentle tone—

"Xiao Yuqian, may I ask you some questions?"

Seeing her childlike behavior, I couldn't help but add the word "little" before her name.

"Ok?"

Xiao Yuqian tilted her head, hugged his neck, and said with a grin—

"Of course, Daddy will do anything. I love Daddy the most!"

"..."

Chen Ming touched his chest, feeling as if he had just been hit by an arrow... Well, how cute, I didn't expect it to be so lethal.

"...Should I call the police?"

The landlady picked up her phone again, and Chen Ming was sweating profusely.

He coughed twice more, held Xiaoyuqian and shook her, then thought for a moment and asked—

"Then... firstly, why does Xiaoyuqian call me Dad?"

"...Is that the main point?"

Dong Yi couldn't help but look at her husband with disdain, even though she was also a little curious.

"because……"

Xiao Yuqian hugged his neck, resting against his chest. Her petite body radiated warmth as she squinted at his broad chest and whispered—

"Because Dad is Dad... Dad's shoulders are strong, Dad's embrace is warm... As long as I'm in Dad's arms, I have nothing to be afraid of... Whether it's cold, pain, or loneliness... Dad will protect me well..."

As Chen Ming listened to her soft whispers, he sensed, for some reason, a faint, ethereal loneliness in them…

It was like a long-held expectation, a wish that had always resided in her heart...

Chapter 275 Magical Girl's Defeat and Torture?

What is the image of a father?

Domineering, strong, and reliable. This is probably the impression most people have of their fathers when they were young: if something happens, Dad, being the tallest, is usually the one who takes the lead.

Chen Ming was like that when he was a child. Although his mother was also very capable, his father would always step in first when it came to more dangerous situations.

He used to handle snakes and rats that got into the house, and he was also the one who fixed short circuits. My dad did all the dirty and hard work.

Although he was usually a bit careless and had a fiery temper when he was young, he took care of his grandparents for almost ten years, caring for them until their passing.

Ten years have tempered his temper and made him more mature. Everyone knows that the Mr. Chen of yesteryear was a very filial son.

That was an important part of his childhood, and it showed him what responsibility and commitment are.

In Chen Ming's eyes, his father is very important.

You can trust him and rely on him.

And now, listening to the soft whispers of the rain, it is an expectation, a longing for her father, as if it were a long-held yearning for him.

This left him completely at a loss.

Because when she used that term of address, it seemed to be more than just a joke...

He looked at her small face, and she met his gaze with her eyes open. He could seem to find traces of longing in her eyes. She bent her legs and gently placed them on his thighs.

Lucifer looked at her husband, knowing that he was the kind of person who couldn't ignore other people's feelings, and didn't urge him.
