It was rare that the two of them could go on a date, so Father Chi couldn't tell her that he had run into his daughter. He also knew that Fu Qing had always turned him down because of his daughter. It was only because he had laid out his cards and said that his daughter wasn't repulsed by him looking for someone else that she had agreed that they could try dating.
So, he didn't dare tell her the truth that he had run into his daughter, for fear of scaring her away.
Father Chi was silent for a moment before he replied, "It's nothing. I just saw an acquaintance and spoke for a bit."
Father Chi rarely lied, and his ears turned red. Fu Qing didn't see it and believed Father Chi. She nodded and said, "Oh, is the other party still here? Why don't you have them join us?"
