How Could I Possibly Have a Daughter After Reincarnating?

"Excuse me, could I hide here for a bit~?"

Just as Wei Suozhai was about to start his meal, a clear, pleasant voice sounded behind him. He turned to see a beautiful maid (?). It was the same flat-chested maid he'd noticed when he first came in.

Wei Suozhai was a bit confused. He was sure he hadn't ordered any "maid companionship" service—so why was this beautiful maid here, and what did she mean by "hiding"? Was this some kind of hide-and-seek game?

Even though Wei Suozhai was full of questions, there was no way he could refuse such a pretty maid's request. So, after a moment's hesitation, he nodded and agreed.

That's right—the pretty, flat-chested maid was none other than our very own "king of the harem," Chu Feng. He had just barely escaped from his two obsessive admirers by pretending he needed to use the restroom and had evaded his sister's watchful eye to make it to this spot.

Initially, he had intended to slip into the restroom or the kitchen, but his sister kept moving between those areas, leaving him no opportunity. Besides, wearing a maid outfit, it was awkward to enter the men's restroom, and there was no way he would step into the women's restroom... probably.

Fortunately, the customer sitting in this corner looked like a decent guy. Though he hesitated for a moment, he eventually agreed to let him stay. Chu Feng could only hope that those two clingy pests would leave soon.

"Are you hiding from someone?" Wei Suozhai asked, looking at Chu Feng, who was crouched down in the corner.

Chu Feng nodded, then shook his head, unsure how to explain the situation. After a moment's thought, he said, "I'm not really sure how to put it. Just pretend I'm not here, okay?"

Wei Suozhai couldn't help but smile at that. Even if this beautiful, flat-chested maid said that, there was no way he could just ignore someone like her (?) squatting next to him.

"Oh? Customer, you like watching 'Forest Fairy' too?" Chu Feng asked, noticing the character "Billy♂King" printed on Wei Suozhai’s phone case.

"It’s alright, I guess. The story and character development are both pretty good. The best part, though, is the art style. I really like 'Forest Fairy' because of its aesthetic, and that slice-of-life comedy 'Patchouli♂GO' is also really good."

"I like 'Patchouli♂GO' a lot too! And that action anime, 'Stand♂Straight♂And♂Behave,' is also one of my favorites."

As they chatted, Chu Feng eventually gave up on hiding altogether and sat across from Wei Suozhai, fully immersed in their conversation about anime.

Even Wei Suozhai found it odd that he was speaking so smoothly with a "beautiful girl." Could it be that he had finally overcome this hurdle? If things continued like this, he imagined himself having casual conversations with beautiful girls. He could almost see the day he escaped his singlehood approaching.

Perhaps because of the café's heating, Wei Suozhai began to feel warm as they talked, so he took off his jacket and placed it on the chair beside him. He was so engrossed in the conversation that he didn’t notice two small USB drives slip out of his jacket's hood pocket.

"Phew, I’m exhausted."

After changing out of her maid outfit, Li Qian collapsed on the sofa. She had never imagined that simply serving tea and coffee could be so tiring. She looked over at Ling Ning, who was leisurely brewing tea for everyone, and sighed at the disparity.

As if exhaustion wasn’t enough, after a day’s work, her earnings ended up being identical to her sister's, down to the last cent. It made no sense at all! She could only hope for a rematch next time.

Suddenly, Li Qian noticed something small glinting mysteriously beneath a table in the corner. Curious, she walked over and picked it up, discovering that it was a small USB drive.

At first glance, it looked like an ordinary USB drive, but it had the words "TOP SECRET" printed on it, which made Li Qian even more curious.

She looked around the café. There were no customers left, and she figured it must have been dropped by one of them. She decided to hand it over to Chu Mengyao.

At the same time, Li Meng had also found a USB drive labeled "TOP SECRET." She had the same thought as her sister—to hand it over to Chu Mengyao.

"Here, have some tea."

Ling Ning’s voice suddenly rang out, startling both sisters. Instinctively, Li Qian slipped the USB drive into her coat pocket before taking the teacup from Ling Ning. Li Meng reacted the same way, unconsciously putting her USB drive into her pocket.

"Huh?! Where did my USB drives go?!"

Upon arriving home, Wei Suozhai, still basking in his newfound confidence at being able to chat with a pretty girl, decided to celebrate by pulling out one of his carefully guarded USB drives for a "review session." But to his horror, the "Trinity Yuri" USB he had locked in his safe was missing!

Surprisingly, he wasn’t as panicked this time. He had anticipated that his USB drives might go missing one day, so he had already prepared a backup. He quietly opened a second safe, only to find that his backup "Trinity Yuri" USB was also gone.

He couldn’t accept this. He had planned for this exact situation—how could this have happened? His safe was from "King’s Treasury," guaranteed to be secure. There was no way the contents could have just disappeared. This was impossible!

Wait… last night, since he couldn’t sleep, he had taken the "Trinity Yuri" USB out for a little "review." Could it be that he’d forgotten to put it back? The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. But then, what about the backup USB? There was no way they could both be missing.

Unable to figure it out, Wei Suozhai grabbed his jacket and decided to retrace his steps from today. Though he knew the chances of finding it were slim, he had to at least try. If it had fallen out on the subway, there wasn’t much he could do.

Another possibility crossed his mind—maybe it had fallen out at the maid café. If the pretty maids there found out what was on those USB drives, the consequences would be unimaginable.
