They all have special skills

Qing Shuiqian said this in a calm and nonchalant manner.

But Qingshuichuan, who was looking at her carefully, had a bad premonition.

I can repay the one who gave birth to me by cutting off my fingers, but I can never repay the one who raised me.

The meaning contained in these words, coupled with the fact that he had previously noticed that Akane Shimizu was particularly close to him.

Doesn't that seem like...

“Puhu~”

Sensing the changing expressions on Qingshuichuan's face and roughly understanding what he was thinking, Qingshui Akane couldn't help but let out a sweet laugh like a silver bell.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'm your daughter, and we're related by blood. No one can change that."

As she spoke, she came closer and hugged Qingshuichuan's neck from the front.

Like a cat craving for affection, she kept rubbing her head against his chest.

"Okay... okay, I get it. You don't have to prove it this way anymore."

Qingshuichuan pushed her away somewhat helplessly, feeling a subtle mixture of happiness and distress in his heart.

The next moment, Qing Shuiqian suddenly said something shocking.

"But, in fact, I have thought more than once that it would be better if I were not my father's daughter."

"..."

"It's not that I hate you, Dad, but that way, I can..."

"stop!"

Qingshuichuan had no choice but to stop Qingshui Akane from continuing to explain with a serious face.

Forgive him for thinking that the words "female stepmother industry" just popped up in his mind...

It would be fine if he was just a bystander, but as a person involved, he would only experience endless embarrassment and physical discomfort.

"Don't be so serious, Dad. You always look serious, as if something big is about to happen. I can't help but want to play a joke on you."

"Kid, this isn't funny."

Being teased by her, which seemed real but not real, Qingshuichuan felt that the invisible fatigue accumulated in his body increased even more.

"Can we get back to the point now?"

"Of course, that's what Dad wants to know first."

"Anyway, let's start by explaining why you and Ai are here."

Akane Shimizu clenched her hands with her fingers crossed, her eyes sparkling.

"As expected of Dad, he accurately grasped the most crucial point of the problem right from the start."

"..."

Qingshuichuan looked at his little daughter like this and felt like vomiting, but in order to prevent the topic from deviating again, he chose to remain silent.

"Let me think where to begin..."

Qingshui Akane tilted her head back and tapped her forehead lightly.

"Dad, have you ever experienced anything that you regret deeply but cannot change?"

"..."

After Qing Shuiqian asked the question, Qing Shuichuan started thinking subconsciously.

He thought about the course of his life so far.

Everything has been going smoothly from the beginning till now.

Although there have been many twists and turns and thrills recently, fortunately, everything has had a relatively satisfactory ending.

The only regret might be Yanami Anna who is beside him.

This childhood friend's family was broken up because of her incompetent father.

But that is someone else's private matter, and a gambler like that cannot control him for his entire life. The important thing is that Xingcai and her mother have moved on and started a new life.

So Qingshuichuan shook his head.

"That's right. After all, according to what you revealed to me in the future, Dad, your life so far has been quite fulfilling."

Qingshuichuan's heart tightened.

"What you mean by this... is that my life will be very difficult after this?"

"Whether it's smooth or not depends on one's own definition. In my opinion, Dad, you are very happy."

"Are you happy?"

"Well, because you already have such a lovely daughter like me."

Akane Shimizu lowered her chin with her fingertips, her eyes flickering as if she was about to move closer.

Qingshuichuan held her head with one hand to prevent her from succeeding.

Akane Shimizu struggled to wave her two little hands in the air for a while, and when she saw that Shimizu Kawa showed no signs of slowing down, she pouted and straightened up in a sullen manner.

She continued to talk about the topic,

"Shiyu's mother and Yingli's mother were fine, although after you and your father confirmed your relationship, their families discovered the close relationship between the three of you, and the situation suddenly became very chaotic.

But that was not a problem. Shiyu's mother was persistent and opinionated. After trying to communicate with her family many times without success, she simply chose to move out of the house.

Apart from sending money and writing letters to my family regularly to tell them not to worry, I didn't have any other contact and treated them coldly.

As for Eriri's mother, she is even more amazing.

Her family, especially her father, a senior intellectual and government official, usually appears gentle and easy-going, but he has his own opinions and acts more assertively.

He knows that you have done a great favor to their whole family, but even so, he cannot accept that you maintain such a relationship with Eriri's mother and Shiyu's mother at the same time.

He couldn't do anything to his benefactor, but he had no concerns about his biological daughter.

"What happened to Eriri?!"

Qingshuichuan didn't know that the expression on his face seemed extremely urgent at this moment!

"Don't worry, she is my biological daughter."

Akane Shimizu looked at the young father, smiling and not keeping him in suspense for too long.

"After that, Eriri's mother was locked up at home, becoming a true boudoir lady who never left the house.

During that period, under normal circumstances, Eriri's mother couldn't even leave the house.

Even when she has to go out, her family will accompany her.

We did this to prevent you, Dad, from meeting her again."

"what?"

"What? Isn't this natural? If it were me, falling in love with a guy who has an ambiguous relationship with another woman, Dad, you would probably make the same choice."

"..."

Qingshuichuan fell silent for a moment.

It seems that the butt determines the position.

While he was silent, Akane Shimizu came over stealthily again and leaned against him.

This time, her father didn't push her away, which made her lips curl up silently.

Qingshuichuan raised his other hand and reached out to touch her head gently.

"And Eriri has been living under the surveillance of her family ever since?"

"That was the case for a while, but it didn't last long. Remember when I said Eriri's mother was amazing?"

"Ah."

"In fact, not long after, Eriri's mother made a choice that even Shiyu's mother was shocked."

"What choice?"

“At that time, Dad, you were all still in college, but the exact time period was not detailed.

But anyway, Eriri's mother got pregnant before she even graduated from college."

Akane Shimizu followed Shimizukawa's surprised gaze, smiled and deliberately stuck out her belly, gently stroking her belly with her right hand.

"Of course, it's undoubtedly yours, Dad. They're twins, a boy and a girl. The older sister has the same blonde hair as Eriri's mother, and the older brother is as handsome as you, Dad.

Of course, that's just his appearance. In reality, he's both childish and tsundere, and occasionally makes some silly remarks. Outside, I don't even want to have anything to do with him and pretend I don't know him."

Ah, they are twins, a boy and a girl. How wonderful...

That’s not right!!!

"Didn't you say that Eriri is being monitored constantly by her family?!"

"That's true, but there must always be a time to relax."

"How did Eriri and I manage to do this under these circumstances?"

Facing Qingshuichuan's increasingly urgent questions, Qingshui Akane stretched out her hands and said innocently,

"How could I possibly know this? After all, neither you, Dad, nor Mom explained it to me in detail."

"..."

That’s true. It seems that this kind of thing is not easy to tell my little daughter directly.

"As for Shiyu's mother and Eriri's mother, although many things happened between you and them during your time together, the good thing is that none of this will become an obstacle between you two.

It's because you've been through so much together that your relationship becomes stronger and more unbreakable, but with my mom, it's completely different."

To suppress, first praise.

After Akane Shimizu told the story of the future that sounded so beautiful, she immediately talked about the main reason why she came here.

But before that, she had her own little ideas.

"I want to hear what you think about Mom's feelings now, Dad."

"Feelings and opinions..."

Qingshuichuan was thinking about the wording in his mind.

After saying "wait a moment" softly, Akane Shimizu turned around, opened the floor-to-ceiling window, walked into the house quietly, and after a moment, moved the ergonomic chair in front of Shimizu River's desk to the balcony.

The main supporting parts of this chair are made of high-quality stainless steel parts. It is not light in weight, but a little girl like Akane Shimizu does not seem to have any difficulty in lifting it.

As she put the chair down, the already small balcony space seemed even smaller.

"Wait a moment."

Akane Shimizu returned to the room again, and this time, she took out another small blanket.

"Dad, please sit down."

"Ah, did you move it for me?"

I thought she was tired of standing and took it out and wanted to sit on it herself.

"Of course, I am a very filial daughter."

These words sounded a bit weird coming from Akane Shimizu's mouth.

All in all, Qingshuichuan finally enjoyed this filial piety under her flattering smile.

But after he officially sat down, this filial piety began to deteriorate rapidly.

"Hey~"

Akane Shimizu unceremoniously shifted her body onto the thighs of Shimizu Kawa who was already sitting down.

After her plan succeeded, she quickly pulled her legs up and placed her feet on Qingshuichuan's knees, then covered them with a thin blanket. In an instant, the two of them were together like a couple.

"I said Qian..."

"Don't move, Daddy. This is just right. It's very comfortable."

"Let me get up, you are still yourself..."
