Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 273: 273 specializes in cheating daughters

”You’re still talking about it? You knew he was going to trick me and you didn’t speak up for me,” Han Yan rolled her eyes. ”What kind of father tricks his own daughter like this?”

”It’s said that jade must be carved to form a tool. These past few days, I’ve heard quite a few of your glorious deeds. I really wanted to see, just how capable my precious daughter is,” Mu Rui’an teased.

Han Yan involuntarily recalled that thunderous nickname, Mu Siyi, and her expression grew somewhat embarrassed.

”Mu Siyi, Mu Siyi, such a resounding nickname is truly only worthy of the playboy scions from the City Lord’s family, hahaha...” Mu Rui’an added insult to injury with his teasing words.

Listening to Mu Rui’an’s teasing yet affectionate laughter, Han Yan’s face was the epitome of embarrassment. Suddenly, Han Yan thought of something and asked, ”Dad, you didn’t come up with that nickname, did you?”

”Congratulations, you got it right!” Mu Rui’an roared with laughter, then shrugged his shoulders with a rascally expression, ”But sorry, there’s no reward.”

Han Yan’s face twitched so hard it almost deformed!

She never imagined that the biggest person to trick her would be her own father!

Before, she had sworn that if she found out who had given her such a name, she would strip that bastard naked and hang him at the city gates, she certainly would! She didn’t expect the metaphorical slap to the face to come so quickly! The one who gave her that nickname was her own dear dad!

She couldn’t possibly strip her own father naked and hang him at the city gates, could she? And she had also called her dad a bastard... Oops, she had inadvertently included herself in the insult.

”Dad, I have a question for you,” Han Yan looked at the still gleefully laughing Mu Rui’an and said in a powerless tone.

”What is it?” Mu Rui’an stopped laughing and blinked as he asked.

”Am I really not adopted? Or was I perhaps something you gave to mom along with some other purchase?” Han Yan asked with a touch of sorrow in her voice.

”But you are indeed my own flesh and blood, definitely my own. If you weren’t, I wouldn’t tease you like this,” Mu Rui’an said proudly, puffing out his chest.

Han Yan’s inner sorrow almost turned into a river of tears as she complained, ”Don’t you care about your daughter’s reputation at all?”

”Do you even have a reputation left?” Mu Rui’an asked very seriously, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter again.

”Forget it, I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m going to go get ready,” Han Yan said with a stomach full of frustration, and then she turned to leave. Having a dad who specialized in teasing his daughter, she was really ”lucky.”

”Wait, wait, my precious daughter, tell me what your current strength is, so I won’t worry,” Mu Rui’an quickly contained his laughter and called out to Han Yan.

”I won’t tell you, you can guess,” Han Yan said petulantly.

”Tell your dad. Even if I’m not worried, your mom will be,” Mu Rui’an quickly added.

”Ninth Rank Swordsman,” Han Yan stopped in her tracks and said slowly. Teasing her father and having a bit of fun with him was one thing, but she could never let her mother worry. No matter the past or present life, she owed her mother too much.

”Ninth Rank Swordsman...” Mu Rui’an stood frozen on the spot, his mouth agape so wide that it could almost fit a goose egg.

Han Yan smiled triumphantly and left the study. Seeing her father so astonished was really amusing.

”Ninth Rank Swordsman, Ninth Rank Swordsman, hehe, Second Elder, this time you might be disappointed. When Han Yan comes back, let’s see if you can still manage to laugh,” Mu Rui’an finally snapped back to his senses, muttering to himself with a smug look, and he even hummed a few cheerful tunes.
