Chapter 1926: Trying to Paint a Tiger but Ending Up with a Dog

Hearing the laughter, Wei Yangyang turned back, puzzled, and asked, "What is going on here?"

"It's nothing, just trying to paint a tiger but ending up with a dog; oh wait, it was a dog to begin with!"

What... what is Doctor Xu talking about?

Wei Yangyang did not understand.

But Doctor Xu was already laughing so hard he couldn't speak.

On the other side, Li Xingyan sat in the car with a face full of embarrassment.

It wasn't until the car had driven a good distance away that he felt a little better.

Then, his gaze landed on that insulated lunch box.

The lunch box was quite heavy; one look and it was clear it was packed full.

Thinking back to what Wei Yangyang had said...

Li Xingyan opened the lid of the lunch box and started eating, as if out of spite.

To be honest, the taste was alright.

It was just that the stir-fried dishes were all a bit hard, for some reason.

Li Xingyan ate it all, bite by bite.

Then, he even took a photo of the empty lunch box and sent it to Wei Yangyang.

It was quite provocative.

Soon, Li Xingyan received a reply from Wei Yangyang.

It was also a photo, and in the photo, there was a bottle of medicine.

Li Xingyan frowned and sent a message asking, "What does this mean?"

Wei Yangyang: "When you pass a pharmacy, remember to buy a box; take three tablets at a time, chew them before swallowing."

Li Xingyan: "Are you cursing me?"

Wei Yangyang: "As for what it is, you can find out for yourself."

After replying with this sentence, Wei Yangyang sent no more messages.

And Li Xingyan didn't take the matter to heart at all.

But as it turned out...

During the meeting in the afternoon, he actually got a stomachache!

Thinking back to Wei Yangyang's warning earlier...

Li Xingyan finally understood what was going on.

But it was too late to understand now; he could only forward the photo to his assistant and have them go buy the medicine...

Inside the hospital room, the sun was shining brightly.

Yet the gentle light could not dispel the gloom surrounding the woman on the hospital bed.

As soon as Sun Fuqing entered the door, he saw such a back view.

His gaze shifted and landed on the small table.

The food on it hadn't been touched at all.

This made Sun Fuqing sigh involuntarily.

Hearing the sound, Sun Qing, who was sitting with her back to him, reacted.

She turned around, full of anticipation.

But upon seeing Sun Fuqing, she revealed an expression of disappointment.

Sun Fuqing could only pretend he hadn't seen that flash of disappointment and said with a smile, "Good daughter, eat something first."

"I'm in a bad mood, I won't eat!"

"If you don't eat, how will your wounds heal?"

"If they don't heal, then they don't heal; only then will he come to see me."

Sun Fuqing knew who Sun Qing was referring to.

But is this something that can be achieved just by persistence?

Sun Fuqing had to speak the cruel truth: "I know what you are thinking, but some things cannot be forced; let it go!"

Let it go?

Sun Qing turned her head, pointed to her wound, and asked, "Why should I let it go? I clearly have hope! Do you see? This wound is hope! Xingyan will come to see me!"

"But he hasn't come, and he doesn't intend to!"

"Then you should talk to his uncle and aunt; Xingyan can't just ignore his parents, right!"

"But why are you so sure that his uncle and aunt will stand on your side?"

"Because you are old acquaintances!"

Sun Qing's confidence made Sun Fuqing feel it was ridiculous.

He did indeed have some friendship with the Li Family.

But could this little bit of friendship be used to coerce the Li Family?

It was simply wishful thinking!

And besides...

The Li Family's attitude was actually already very clear.

Sun Fuqing had to remind his daughter: "The first time I went, I had already expressed my intentions. If they had the same idea, they would certainly have mediated. However..."

Sun Qing guessed what her father was about to say.

But

at this moment, she really did not want to hear any discouraging words, so she irritably interrupted: "I don't care, if Li Xingyan doesn't come, I will go on a hunger strike!"

Her daughter's willfulness gave Sun Fuqing a splitting headache.

He also could not understand it, and with a deep frown, he asked: "Why must it be him?"

"Because..."

A hazy look suddenly appeared in Sun Qing's eyes.

That was a beautiful yearning for love.

But within that yearning, a fixation slowly grew.

Sun Qing said firmly: "If I, Sun Qing, am going to find a boyfriend, I must find the most outstanding one! And Li Xingyan is just right for me!"

This was Sun Qing's way of thinking.

But in Sun Fuqing's view, Sun Qing was not worthy of him at all.

And yet, she lacked self-awareness...

Sun Fuqing vaguely saw the shadow of his ex-wife in Sun Qing.

This made him unable to help but lament: "Back then, I shouldn't have let you stay by your mother's side and develop such a high-minded and unrealistic personality!"

Because he was busy with work back then, Sun Qing was basically raised by her mother.

Sun Qing's mother was a particularly vain woman; influenced by her, Sun Qing also became snobbish and loved to compare herself to others.

By the time Sun Fuqing realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

Even after he divorced his wife and raised his daughter himself, he could not change her personality.

At this moment, hearing her father actually bring up the past, Sun Qing's emotions became very agitated.

She even shouted at her father: "Now you dislike me? Where were you before? Have you ever attended any of my birthdays before I was eight!"

"I don't dislike you, it's just... alright, it was indeed my negligence in the past, and these years, I have been trying to make up for it."

"But some things cannot be made up for, unless you help me achieve my wish!"

So, going around in circles, this child was still thinking about Li

Xingyan!

Sun Fuqing furrowed his brows and sighed: "You have formed a fixation on Li Xingyan, but that is not true love!"

"Dad's own love life is a mess, so don't worry about my business!"

After Sun Qing finished speaking, she turned her head away, looking as if she did not want to pay any more attention to him.

Sun Fuqing looked at his frail daughter and the food that hadn't even been touched...

In the end, Sun Fuqing gave in.

His state suddenly became very dejected.

His voice was also low and hoarse: "If I bring Li Xingyan here, will you properly take care of your health?"

Sun Qing did not notice the change in Sun Fuqing, but instead straightened her body slightly and pressed: "Dad has a way?"

Sun Fuqing gave an almost imperceptible "Mm."

Then, he ordered with a serious face: "You must promise me that you will only meet with Li Xingyan and not talk nonsense or make him angry!"

"Oh."

"He is not the little child he was in the past; if he truly gets angry and disregards face, even I cannot withstand his methods of retaliation!"

"Got it."

"Then, having heard this, you still want to gamble one more time?"

"Of course!"

Looking at Sun Qing's desperate expression, Sun Fuqing suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Sigh—

Sun Fuqing sighed deeply.

He did not know if he was sighing for Sun Qing or for himself.

But with Sun Fuqing's promise, Sun Qing was finally able to eat properly.

The very next day, she even waited for a visitor!

Hearing footsteps, she looked over with a face full of hope.

But the result...

"Why is it you!"

Jiang Motian walked into the hospital room with a smile.

Then, enduring Sun Qing's complex gaze, she sat down.

After meeting Sun Qing's eyes, Jiang Motian tilted her head,

and asked knowingly: "Are you disappointed to see me?"

That was only natural!
