Doctor Si’s expression twisted and her cheeks suddenly turned bright red as she glared at Luo Huain. She said to her, "I was not flirting. This is called the manner of a gentlewoman."
"Look here," Luo Huian pointed to her forehead. "Do you see ’idiot’ written on my forehead?" She asked.
Doctor Si blinked her eyes and answered, "No?"
"Then why are you treating like one?"
This woman!
On the other side, inside the ward where Fan ilin was admitted.
"ilin, I know that you are upset with the marriage that we arranged for you. But honey, we had no choice…you know that as well don’t you?" Daddy Fan looked at his son who was sitting on the bed of his ward.
His eyes were brimming with concern as he said to Fan ilin, "Why don’t you stop with these dangerous actions of yours and settle down with your wife?"
"Your mother is also displeased with your continuous actions of rebellion."
"When has mother ever been pleased with ?" Fan ilin barked with a mocking sneer. Daddy Fan wanted to say sothing most probably he wanted to rebuke Fan ilin for speaking like that about his mother but before he could, he was interrupted by Fan ilin.
"And what do you an by settling down? Have you forgotten? I am barren, daddy!"
"Shhh! What do you think you are doing?" Daddy Fan looked around the entire ward and especially paid close attention to the door of the ward.
Once he was certain that no one was standing outside, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at Fan ilin and hissed in a low voice, "What do you think you are doing? Do you want your mother and to be in trouble? Is that what you want? If the Luo family found out that we have sent a flawed r to their daughter, what do you think they would do?"
Fan ilin’s complexion turned pale imdiately when he heard his daddy call him ’flawed’. Just because he could not give birth anymore, he was now considered a damaged product?
Daddy Fan also realised that he said sothing wrong and sighed. He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. A new headache was already bursting inside of his head.
He had three r sons and two daughters. Yet none of them gave him peace.
He sighed and said to Fan ilin, "My dear, let us be honest, alright? I know that you bla and your mother for everything that happened to you but did we not tell you not to do what you did?"
"We asked you to stop but you did not listen, instead you thought that we were stopping you from living your life when in fact we just wanted to protect you."
Fan ilin pursed his lips as he knew that his daddy was indeed correct.
"I know that Luo Huian is not the kind of woman you like or feel attracted to but at least she has a bottom limit and will not hurt you like you were in the past," Daddy Fan said with a frown. "Listen to and stop with these antics of yours. If this goes on, you will end up killing yourself."
"Daddy, I——"
Fan ilin wanted to say sothing but then there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Daddy Fan turned to look at the door while pointedly looking at Fan ilin to make sure that he would not say anything that he should not.
"I—I am Duan Jingli. Sister Huian has sent , can I co inside?" A childish voice ca from the other side of the ward and Daddy Fan went into full panic mode.
However, he soon cald down. The visitor was a child, certainly, he would not be scheming enough to hide outside and eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Co inside, child," Daddy Fan gave his permission to the little r who walked inside the ward after pushing the door.
Duan Jingli looked at the pretty r on the bed and then turned to look at the elderly r before saying politely, "Sister Huian made a cake and sent a piece for Brother Fan."
He then looked down at the single piece of cake on the plate and blinked his eyes nervously before saying to Daddy Fan, "I am sorry. We did not know that there were two people in this ward."
Daddy Fan was both touched and amused by the little r. He waved his hand dismissively and said to him, "It is alright. I am not fond of sweets that much. You can give this to your Brother Fan. After all, this was sent to him by his wife."
Fan ilin looked at his daddy speechlessly. He knew that his father was doing this because he wanted him to get closer to his wife.
But Fan ilin was quite suspicious as he thought that his daddy wanted him to die.
That woman has never even boiled eggs and suddenly she baked a cake and yet his daddy wanted him to eat it?
Was he joking with him? If he was, then this was quite a dangerous joke.
One that could ruin or take his life!
Duan Jingli heaved a sigh of relief. He placed the cake on the table next to Fan ilin’s bed and bowed to the two rs before taking his leave.
Once he was gone, Daddy Fan turned to look at Fan ilin and said to him, "Go on, eat it, your wife is taking the first step to get close to you. You shouldn’t ignore her kind feelings."
Fan ilin wanted to refuse but under the glare of his father, he could only pick up the piece of cake that was placed on the table.
As soon as he picked it up, the sweet citrus scent of the cake flooded his nostrils. The cake slled delicious but as for the taste, Fan ilin was not certain about it.
After all, Luo Huian was a third-generation rich heir. Surely she would have all kinds of ingredients in hand, thus, with those ingredients it was not a surprise that it slled so good.
"Why are you looking at it like that? Take a bite," pressed Daddy Fan.
