Chapter 1304 - 1276: Isn’t One Idiot Husband Enough?

Chapter 1304: Chapter 1276: Isn’t One Idiot Husband Enough?

Xiaowei lay asleep in the baby carriage, completely unlike what Qian had claimed. Qian just intentionally found a topic to start with and then immediately turned to Qio Yu Xuan and said:

"A dad is a dad, what’s with the ’father’? Do you think you’re some big landlord from feudal society? You don’t act like a dad at all, always getting on my nerves..."

biu~

What was that sound?

Qio Yu Xuan felt like he heard the sound of his heart blooming with joy, like fireworks filling the sky.

"Say it again..."

"Say what? Dad dad dad dad, what’s so special about saying that? Like an idiot, now eat your meal!"

After finishing, Qian felt the stone weighing on her heart suddenly lighten.

Catching a glimpse of the tears in Qio Yu Xuan’s eyes out of the corner of her eye, it diluted her current embarrassment.

Qian’s nose felt a bit sour, as if she might cry, so she hurried to toss a chopstick full of food at Qio Yu Xuan.

"Hurry up and eat! Calling you dad won’t fill you up!"

Qio Yu Xuan wanted to say that wasn’t true; her calling him ’dad’ was worth dying for. He was just about to say he was okay, but Yu Minglang was faster, quickly stuffing a small chicken leg into his mouth.

"Oh dear, just stop talking. Every time you speak, it annoys my wife. Just maintain your silly, adorable demeanor."

This made both Qian and Qio Yu Xuan laugh.

Until now, Qio Yu Xuan really started to admire his daughter’s choice in a husband.

Yu Minglang may seem like a loafer, but he speaks and acts with great tact, especially with his well-timed sense of humor, which always hits the right spot and prevents any awkward atmosphere from developing.

"Hmm, as long as my daughter is happy, silly it shall be." Qio Yu Xuan gave Qian a doting smile, making her shiver with goosebumps.

"You’re so mushy! I’m going to the bathroom!"

She quickly walked out. Yu Minglang didn’t follow, just sat back with his legs crossed, watching her leave, then calmly raised his glass to gesture at Qio Yu Xuan.

"I bet my wife went to have a little cry."

The seemingly coldest woman actually had a very soft heart.

"I thought you would stop her, prevent her from recognizing me." Qio Yu Xuan was also surprised by Yu Minglang; his actions were quite unexpected.

The credit for his daughter being recognized back was half due to this kid.

"Don’t thank me, I wasn’t doing it for you. Honestly, it doesn’t matter who my wife’s father is, even a humanoid pig would do."

With Qian not around, Yu Minglang immediately showed his true colors, leaving Qio Yu Xuan surprised with his metaphor.

A humanoid pig...

Still not that cute!

"As long as she’s happy, anyone will do." Yu Minglang lovingly looked at the door, thinking Qian should be back soon.

"Seeing your insight, I’m reluctantly accepting you; if you ever make her cry, I won’t let you off." Yu Minglang’s disrespect didn’t bother Qio Yu Xuan. On the contrary, the initially dismissive Qio Yu Xuan finally acknowledged him as his son-in-law.

"I’ll give you the same warning, don’t get too cocky just because my wife calls you dad. That former father of hers is still locked up; if you don’t do a good job, we can always replace you!"

Yu Minglang and Qio Yu Xuan barely got along for a few seconds before reverting to their usual selves, with the father-in-law getting more annoyed with the son-in-law by the second. Their exchanged glances sparked with tension.

Qian returned just in time to see the two men about to go cross-eyed from staring each other down across the table.

"What are you two doing?"

As soon as Qian came back, Qio Yu Xuan and Yu Minglang immediately changed their expressions, casting off their previous glare and putting on all sorts of fake smiles.

"Ah, son-in-law, have a fish eye to nourish your dead fish eyes."

"Father-in-law, have some chicken skin. May you grow old with chicken skin and crane hair!"

The two men reached out, shaking hands in a mock display of friendship, making Qian roll her eyes.

"Every year there are fools, but this year there are especially a lot, and they all came to my house..."

Isn’t having a fool for a husband enough? Now there’s even a foolish dad!

Hmm, dad...

She repeated these two words to herself a few times and found it alright, not repellent, with a slight hint of joy.

Perhaps some words naturally belong to certain people.

Thinking of this, Qian suddenly felt enlightened.

Those unqualified to be someone’s dad can just float away with the past, compared to Chen Lin, Qio Yu Xuan is much more preferable.

Not everyone has the luck she does nowadays, a dad that can almost apply for the job, giving her an inexplicable sense of gain.

The meal was accompanied by Yu Minglang’s clever atmosphere control, so Qian didn’t feel uneasy; instead, she felt very comfortable. She thought a formal change of term would be a bit awkward, but it wasn’t.

Yu Xiaoqiang never hesitated on significant matters. If he was serious about helping Qian, then no challenge would be too big. Qian even felt that things should have progressed in this direction long ago, making everything seem perfectly natural.

After the meal, Qian asked Qio Yu Xuan if he wanted to return to Lishi with them, but Qio Yu Xuan shook his head.

"I’ll take a flight directly. At most, I’ll be back in a month. I’ve arranged for someone to handle my duties. If you need anything, consult your senior apprentice brother."

Just as he was about to get in the car, Qian suddenly called him.

"Hey!"

Qio Yu Xuan stopped to look at her. Qian looked at the sky, not meeting his eyes.

"Be careful."

"Hmm." With his daughter back, he certainly wanted to cherish his life more.

"And... come back soon... dad!"

The last word was so softly spoken, it was barely audible.

"Yes!" Qio Yu Xuan nodded happily. It didn’t matter if her voice was soft, the impact was powerful enough. It was the most wonderful melody to pierce through his soul, something he could never tire of hearing.

...

A hot topic lately at BD Normal University is the mysterious area on the top floor of a certain teaching building in the new campus, marked with a shining golden plaque.

Physiological and Psychological Joint Laboratory.

There are only a few of these laboratories at such a level in the whole country, let alone in the province, meaning it would attract top talents from home and abroad, hold a significant position within the industry, and receive ample funding for research.

It’s rumored that having a lab of this level is entirely due to the involvement of a certain super figure, the lab’s initiator, Qio Yu Xuan.

Qio’s arrival significantly enhanced the school’s reputation. Despite his low profile, he attracted a wave of talents. Once the news of him teaching here broke out, many eagerly self-recommended themselves to follow Qio Yu Xuan. However, it is said no one succeeded. Furthermore, attending just one of his lectures is tough. Rumor has it that Mr. Qio agreed with the school not to mentor Ph.D. students and only give a lecture or two per semester for the sake of appearances.

Hence, that teaching building in the new campus became one of the most mysterious places, drawing glances from passersby hoping for a lucky glimpse of the international authority.

On this day, two students came for class and saw a woman in a white coat entering the main building, wearing a hat that the wind blew off. As she turned back to pick it up, her profile amazed the students.
