His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 818 - 229 Expert at Frustrating His Wife (5)_4

The two old men started looking for their cigarettes as soon as they got back into the house.

"They took a taxi over, so they must’ve come prepared, covered up from head to toe."

On their way back, they received a call from Yang Bo.

Yang Bo repeated the characteristics of the girl in the surveillance video, and Qin Mu suddenly thought of someone.

Could it be that girl has returned?

Only that girl would be up for such a senseless act.

Counting the days, she should have already given birth to the baby by now, even though there’s been no news of a marriage.

——

Today, as soon as Qin Haiming got home, he sensed something was off in the atmosphere. Looking up in the living room, he saw the girl sitting on the sofa; father and daughter hadn’t seen each other in a long while.

"Dad! You’re off work!"

Qin Mingzhu immediately stood up and greeted him as Qin Haiming entered, her gaze carrying a mix of nervousness and wariness.

"When did you get back?"

Qin Haiming asked, his eyes showing a bit of yearning. No matter what, she was his daughter, and he had been worried about her well-being after living away from home for so long.

"I just got back today."

Qin Mingzhu said as she came forward to take his suit jacket.

Qin Haiming enjoyed the service from his daughter, though his face showed little emotion.

"Dad, I called mom. Can we all have a meal together?"

"Hmm!"

Qin Haiming didn’t say much. His daughter’s request wasn’t too much to ask for.

"Thank you, Dad!"

Qin Mingzhu was very excited, not expecting Qin Haiming to agree so readily.

Actually, she had been uncertain about Qin Haiming’s feelings for her.

What Qin Haiming didn’t expect was that Zhang Rujia had already come to their house.

"Shall we start dinner, boss?"

The housekeeper came out and asked.

"Wait a bit!"

Qin Haiming had just sat down on the sofa. He still had some questions to ask his daughter, so he wasn’t in a hurry to eat.

Qin Mingzhu didn’t dare to say more, she obediently stayed by his side, knowing that her current situation wasn’t like before, and that she needed to endure.

"Did you come back by yourself this time or with your husband?"

"By myself!"

Qin Mingzhu said nervously, looking down, afraid that her father would scold her.

Qin Haiming gazed at her intently for a good while before asking: "Why?"

"I don’t want to marry him! I don’t want to move to another place as his wife."

Qin Mingzhu looked up and expressed her opinion clearly.

"Don’t want to? You two already have a child together, and now you say you don’t want to? What do you plan to do in the future?"

"Didn’t you and mom have me and still get divorced?"

"How am I the same as you?"

Qin Haiming was a bit angry, thinking about how Qin Mingzhu had been spoiled by him without boundaries and now he had to swallow his pride.

"Anyway, I just don’t want to marry him!"

Qin Mingzhu got angry every time this matter was brought up.

She really didn’t want to marry into the Wang Family at all. The Wang Family had too many rules.

She wanted to stay at her own home, or even live outside, but she was unwilling to marry into theirs.

"You need a legitimate reason for not wanting to marry him. Is he no good to you?"

"Yes! No good, not at all!"

Qin Mingzhu nodded vehemently.

Qin Haiming thought for a moment and then stretched out his hand: "Give me your phone."

"What for?"

Qin Mingzhu subconsciously reached for her phone and asked.

"Give it to me," he repeated calmly.

Qin Mingzhu hesitated with a puzzled look, but she handed over the phone anyway.

Qin Haiming unlocked her phone with her birthday and directly found the number of the man who fathered her child but hadn’t married her.

Only then did he find out that there were so many missed calls on Qin Mingzhu’s phone, all from that man.

"Dad, no! You’re not going to call Wang Huanyu, are you? Please don’t, you absolutely mustn’t..."

"Come to Rongcheng when you have time!"

The call was quickly answered, the voice on the other end sounding quite anxious.

Qin Mingzhu...

After hanging up the phone, Qin Haiming told her: "He’ll be here in a few days. Let’s talk about it then. Let’s go eat now."

"Dad, that’s clearly a sign you don’t trust me. Is your own daughter really less reliable than an outsider?"

"Sometimes you truly are less deserving of my trust than an outsider," he said bluntly as he stood up.

Qin Mingzhu felt like crying. Thinking of that man coming over in a few days, her eyes darted around, contemplating escape.

But as soon as Qin Haiming walked into the dining room, he too got a shock. There was Zhang Rujia with a dish in hand, coming out of the kitchen. Seeing him, she also became very excited.
