It seemed like he was Anticipating this Result

After the group had told the entire story, Quan Yeqing held onto Qiao Qing's hands, "Qingqing, you're a much better person than your father!"0

He turned his head towards Quan Zexi, "You're a father, yet you require your daughter to save you? More than that, you made her suffer so much for so many years. You've finally found her, yet you are not making it up to her to the best of your abilities? With that attitude of yours, what kind of man are you?!"

Quan Zexi, "…"

With his lips pursed, Quan Zexi weakly asserted his last line of defense, "The DNA result isn't out yet."

Just then, Zhao Sizhan walked in with a document in hand.

"Duke, the DNA result is out."

Quan Zexi, "…"

With his hand moving towards the document, Quan Zexi shakily took it over and glanced at the results.

When he saw that they were 99.99999% related and that he was Qiao Qing's biological father, Quan Zexi felt the giant rock in his heart fall to the ground. It seemed like he was anticipating this result.

Quan Yeqing saw that Quan Zexi sighed in relief and thought that it meant the two weren't related. Anxiously, he shouted, "What is it? Let me see!"

Who knew that the next second, Quan Zexi's face blossomed into a smile and he smirked at Qiao Qing, "You're my daughter after all!"

Now that the result was out, and he could finally see Qiao Qing as his daughter without a doubt, he suddenly felt a sense of pride that only parents have towards their children.

While he was busy being happy, Quan Yeqing mocked, "You're happy now?! You're not ashamed to be her father?!"

Quan Zexi, "…"

After a moment of silence, Quan Zexi looked over to Qiao Qing, "Girl, how did I refer to you before?"

Qiao Qing inhaled sharply. Though he has now accepted what was a fact, without his memories, she couldn't feel the familiarity from before. Their conversations were seeping with distance and awkwardness.

Jun Yexuan sensed Qiao Qing's emotions and tightened his grip around her hands.

Qiao Qing didn't let herself drown in her emotions, "My father didn't have a set name for me. Sometimes, he called me 'baby' as my mom did. Sometimes he called me 'Qingqing'. Sometimes he called me his 'baby girl', sometimes 'princess'. You can call me whatever you like."

My father… whatever you like…

Her words caused pain to expand across Quan Zexi's chest.

She didn't think of him as her father. The father she was referring to was the person he used to be.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't mind this. Even though he had accepted the fact that he had a daughter, she was merely a stranger to him.

But Qiao Qing's words made it difficult for him to breathe.

Memories… For the first time in a long time, Quan Zexi fended against his laziness and had a strong desire to retrieve his lost memories.

As he thought about it, he looked over to Qiao Qing and muttered, "Do you have anything on you that might mean something to me?"

"Yes." Qiao Qing got up. She suddenly remembered that she still had some stuff inside her hotel room.

Also, Red was still at the hotel.

As she thought about it, she called out, "Lang Yin, go fetch my stuff. Also, bring over Red."

Lang Yin was about to answer when Wan Kaiyi walked in.

"Duke, there's a fox in our garden. It's carrying a backpack in its mouth."

Qiao Qing's eyebrows trembled.
