Chapter 1376: Chapter 743 Call Me âDaddy'(7K)_4 Chapter 1376: Chapter 743 Call Me âDaddy'(7K)_4 After hearing Chen Mobaiâs words, Shi Wanyu completely broke down in tears.
Back in her youthful days of tender green, a moment of passionate impulse had led her to commit a grave mistake that haunted her heart for decades, but today she finally received personal forgiveness from Chen Mobai.
And the scene of father and daughter recognizing each other was also the one she had dreamt of for all these years.
All her dreams had turned into reality today.
This made Shi Wanyu feel as if she were the happiest person in the world.
All the cold stares and suffering she had endured for the past decades were for this very moment.
âDaddy!â
At this moment, Shi Xiao Hei threw herself directly into Chen Mobaiâs arms, shouting loudly!
And she kept repeating it, the word âDaddyâ becoming louder and louder, even a bit hoarse and worn out, as if she wanted to shout out all the âDaddiesâ that she hadnât said in decades, all tonight.
If it werenât for the soundproof restriction built into the building, probably all the neighbors around could hear Shi Xiao Hei shouting for her dad.
Chen Mobai was a bit stiff; he wasnât very accustomed to such intimate contact with a woman.
However, realizing that the person in his arms was his daughter, he could only gently pat the back of the young girlâs head with the softest pressure.
Shi Wanyu, watching this scene, was overjoyed.
âAlright, alright, there will be plenty of time to call him Daddy later. The food is getting cold, and a lot has not been eaten yet. Your father has been worrying and working hard to find you these past days. Let him have a good meal.â
Seeing Chen Mobaiâs somewhat stiff movements, Shi Wanyu could tell that her daughter had almost released all her emotions and spoke up to separate the two.
After hearing this, Shi Xiao Hei also let go of Chen Mobai somewhat embarrassingly and took her blushing face back to her seat.
âDaddy, try this green bamboo shoot dish, itâs one of my best recipesâŠâ
âAnd this one, the purple flower beef soupâŠâ
âThis one is good tooâŠâ
On the dinner table, the dishes in Chen Mobaiâs bowl kept piling up, quickly making a high stack. He simply smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and ate everything.
To be honest, the taste was average.
But with every bite he took, he praised it as if it was the most delicious food in the world.
Shi Xiao Hei, listening to this, squinted her eyes, her happiness apparent beyond words.
Today was the happiest day of her life.
When she was younger, she hoped to have a father who was awe-inspiring and upright, but every time she asked her mother about him, her mother always avoided the topic.
Over time, having watched plenty of TV dramas, she came to see her father as a scumbag who abandoned his wife and daughter.
After she grew up, she pretended that her father was dead.
But at the Daoist Academy, when she heard her roommates on the phone with their fathers, complaining, nagging, and pouring their hearts out, she felt an indescribable loneliness and envy deep inside.
If only she had a father, how wonderful that would be.
Back then, she no longer demanded her father to be awe-inspiring; she simply wanted him to be a normal, kind, and gentle dad.
During the ten years she spent studying in the Sea Territory, surrounded by Seafolk Specters, she felt even lonelier and wished for family even more.
It was then that she realized she wasnât as strong as she thought!
She longed to be surrounded by family love.
So, after her studies and upon obtaining the Heavenly Realm Pure Water, she resolutely decided to give up the Wangwu Cave Heaven public servant position arranged by Yu Huiping, choosing to return to Yu Wood City to accompany her mother for the rest of her life.
When she made this decision, she never imagined that she would be able to find her father as well.
And this father turned out to be the perfect male cultivator in her mind.
Mom really should have clarified things sooner; I definitely wouldnât have gotten upset.
For some inexplicable reason, Xiao Hei looked at Shi Wanyu with a bit of resentment.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Shi Wanyu was somewhat baffled.
âMom, if you had told me about Dadâs identity sooner, maybe decades ago on the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, I would already have been in his arms calling him âDadâ.â
Hearing Xiao Heiâs words, Chen Mobai couldnât help but laugh out loud.
âEh, you father and daughter met that long ago?â
Shi Wanyu did not know about this, and Xiao Hei immediately told her about the few rare encounters she had had with Chen Mobai before.
But at this moment, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered that when he met Xiao Hei at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, it seemed a bit odd.
Zhongli Tianyu, who was traveling with him, seemed to have been deliberately led away; it must have been someone who knew he was there and had specifically arranged for father and daughter to meet.
The likelihood was Yu Huiping of Wangxian Peak, since she appeared right away when Xiao Heiâs Nine Yin Meridian acted up.
However, since it was all arranged, why not reveal the identity!
Chen Mobai couldnât help feeling annoyed with Yu Huiping, letting him miss out on family happiness for so many years.
âMom, you sit with Dad for a while, Iâll clean up.â
In the joyful atmosphere of the family of three, dinner ended before they knew it. Shi Wanyu got up out of habit to clean, but Xiao Hei immediately stopped her.
Actually, with spells, cultivators can clean up very quickly.
But since the daughter wanted to show filial piety, Shi Wanyu let her have her way.
âItâs getting late, so Iâll take my leave now.â
After eating, Chen Mobai thought about his daughter being forced to calm down in the small dark room for five days, combined with the emotional ups and downs of today, she must be really exhausted, so he decided to say goodbye to let his daughter rest well.
âDad, are you leaving? Isnât this your home? Or is it that you still havenât truly forgiven Mom in your heart!â
But unexpectedly, Xiao Heiâs eyes suddenly reddened, and she started to sob.
âI said I would, so of course I mean itâŠâ
Chen Mobai wanted to explain, but seeing his daughter looking like she was about to cry, he could only sigh.
âThen Iâll stay tonight, is there a spare room?â
He asked Shi Wanyu, who, after hearing this, shook her head somewhat awkwardly.
âThen Iâll make do with the couch on the first floor for the nightâŠâ
âHow could that be?â
But before he could finish, both mother and daughter interrupted him in unison.
âHow about you sleep in your daughterâs room tonight, and she can stay with me.â
Shi Wanyu suggested a plan, but Xiao Hei shook her head in refusal.
âI have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar beds, and tonight I need a long time to meditate in tranquility; I can only be at ease in my own room.â
After she finished speaking, Chen Mobai and Shi Wanyu finally understood her meaning.
The two exchanged glances, and the beautiful fair-cheeked woman suddenly blushed a deep red, Chen Mobai even saw her snow-white neck and delicately boned collar peeking out of her clothing also flush deeply, clearly extremely embarrassed.
âThen Iâll go rest first, goodnight Mom and Dad!â
Seeing that the atmosphere between her parents was ripe, Xiao Hei promptly waved at them and quickly ran to her loft.
Left alone, Chen Mobai also felt somewhat restless.
But the beautiful young woman before him looked even more anxious and hesitant.
