163: Chapter 163 document?

The fireworks festival ended very smoothly.

The fireworks truly burned for a long time, so long that the girls and Fang Xun snuggled together and fell into a deep sleep before the display quietly concluded.

By the time the group woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Tang Datang had known for a while that his daughter had encountered some danger.

However, seeing that his daughter emerged acting as if nothing had happened, he didn't take the initiative to mention those things.

Nevertheless, after his daughter came out, his business negotiations proceeded more and more smoothly.

Even the rights that Sakurajima had previously tried to fight for were all abandoned.

It was as if the profits of the business were no longer important; whether the deal could be finalized was what mattered most.

Tang Datang keenly sensed the issue within this.

Fang Xun was that issue.

When they first met that day, he could vaguely sense that Fang Xun was the core of his daughter's group of friends.

Even at the banquet, Lu Li deferred to Fang Xun as the leader.

At this moment, he wouldn't believe it if someone said this wasn't due to Fang Xun's influence.

What exactly was the relationship between Xiao Tang and Fang Xun?

“So, are you two together?”

After finishing the last meeting, Tang Datang called Tang Xiaotang into his room.

Tang Datang had originally prepared himself.

He could support everything for Tang Xiaotang; as long as the partner she chose wasn't some delinquent, he could help build the man up.

But now, he was actually a bit worried.

The person Xiao Tang chose now was good—too good. He was afraid Xiao Tang wouldn't be able to keep a firm hold on him.

He, Tang Datang, actually found himself worried one day that his daughter might be the one getting the short end of the stick.

After saying those words, Tang Datang looked at Tang Xiaotang with great solemnity.

It was just like how Old Tang had looked at him back when he started dating Xiao Tang's mother.

“Huh?”

In front of Tang Datang, Tang Xiaotang didn't usually dare to be too rebellious. Now, being asked such a question by Tang Datang, she immediately became even more timid.

Tang Xiaotang didn't dare look at Tang Datang. She pressed the tip of one foot against the ground, gently pivoting on the wooden floor as if she were trying to carve a flower into it.

“Dad, what are you talking about? I'm still young.”

Hearing Tang Xiaotang's words, Tang Datang immediately took a deep breath.

Her logic wasn't sound, and her voice lacked conviction.

The situation might have already developed to an irreversible stage.

“Have you two lived together?” Facing his own daughter, Tang Datang used a very euphemistic term to express his meaning.

Amidst Tang Datang's anxious heart, Tang Xiaotang gave a slight nod.

“Mm...”

Her voice was so small it sounded like a mosquito flying away.

Hearing Tang Xiaotang's words, Tang Datang's chest heaved a few times. He looked at his daughter, wanting to scold her, but the girl was already grown up.

“Whew...”

Tang Datang slowly exhaled.

“Dad, actually, Fang Xun is a really good person,” Tang Xiaotang whispered like a mosquito.

“Good... good...” Tang Datang nodded slightly and took another deep breath.

Seeing that Tang Datang's psychological endurance seemed decent, Tang Xiaotang continued to test the waters.

“Although Fang Xun's family background is a bit lacking, he's really a great person. His parents both passed away because of Disaster Beast, and he raised Qin Qin all by himself.

And..."

“And..."

“He's very good to me.”

“Do you really understand him?” Tang Datang suddenly asked.

“Huh?”

“For example, his interpersonal relationships?”

“He... he's just with his sister. He doesn't really have any other interpersonal relationships,” Tang Xiaotang said after thinking for a moment.

If there were any other relationships, it would be their roommates in the dormitory.

And Uesugi Akemi, whom they met online.

Maybe you could add Pei Ruanruan, as well as Wang Kaixin and Zhang Tianci.

And the Captain, whom he's met a few times?

“Fine.” Tang Datang nodded and said:

“It's nothing. Go back and get ready. The business I needed to discuss in Heian-kyo is finished.

It's time to go back to Dongcheng.”

“Oh, okay.”

Tang Xiaotang nodded dazedly and went back, looking utterly confused.

She thought Tang Datang would be exceptionally angry. After all, she had basically given herself away for free...

But surprisingly, Tang Datang had raised the issue high only to let it fall gently.

But it wasn't a big deal. After a while, Tang Xiaotang was too lazy to think about it anymore. As long as everything was fine, it was fine.

Hmph, it's good to go back early anyway.

The food here isn't even that good! Tang Xiaotang somewhat regretted sharing a room with Qin Qin; she couldn't even leave the room whenever she wanted.

She couldn't even find a good excuse.

...

...

“We're back already.”

Standing on the soil of Dongcheng City, Fang Xun was also completely bewildered.

He thought they would play in Sakurajima for a while longer.

But Tang Datang's business negotiations went incredibly fast.

Logically, isn't it normal for such big business deals to drag on for a week or two, or even half a year or more?

And yet, it was already done?

“That just shows how amazing my dad is.”

In terms of business, Tang Xiaotang had blind confidence in Tang Datang.

“Makes sense.” Fang Xun nodded vigorously.

That's a true big shot for you.

Fang Xun looked at the sky. It was already dark, so he directly called out:

“Well then, everyone go back to your own homes, everyone... go back home.”

“Okay. Uncle Wang, go to Brother's residential area first to drop him off.”

As soon as Tang Xiaotang said this, Uncle Wang had already driven over in the car model.

“Please, Young Master, Young Miss.”

“Thanks, Brother Wang.” Fang Xun pulled Jiang Qin into the car.

Before long, the two had returned to the entrance of their residential area.

“It's still this place that feels familiar.”

When the two returned to their front door, they actually felt a bit nostalgic.

Even though they had only been gone for a few days, that Illusionary Realm felt like they had moved to a different home.

Fang Xun took out his keys, opened the door, and walked in.

“Hmm? Why does it feel even cleaner than before we left?” Fang Xun glanced around and indeed saw a Flower Branch Rat holding a small rag, whooshing into his room.

Fang Xun: “?”

Has this Big Gray Rat turned into a Snail Girl now?

“Brother, I'm going back to my room first.” Behind Fang Xun, Jiang Qin lowered her head and walked quickly back to her own room.

Fang Xun looked at the girl's back, unsure of what she was thinking.

The things that happened in that Illusionary Realm had actually had a significant impact on him too.

In the Illusionary Realm, the girl had given herself a perfect identity, but after leaving the Illusionary Realm, that identity vanished.

But things had already been done. Now, this girl must be incredibly conflicted.

Fang Xun didn't know how to comfort his sister, so he could only go back to his own room to rest first.

After Jiang Qin returned to her room, she opened the message from Lu Li that she hadn't looked at yet.

「There's a file, take a look at it. I thought about it, and I think you should know.」

Below this sentence was a file package.

Lu Li's words seemed very serious. Jiang Qin sent a thank-you first before downloading the file package.

「Thank you, Captain Lu. I just saw this; I'll take a look now.」

As she spoke, the file package finished downloading.

Inside this file package, Jiang Qin saw a set of information.

“Eh?”
