Li Fagui lay in bed, his eyes darting around, thinking about Ma Hehua. He hadn't seen Hehua for several days and missed her terribly.

"I've made money! I'll spend it on my wife, buy her bags, dresses, and maybe even a Maserati..."

The nurse's lips twitched. "Ahem! Comrade Li, your phone is ringing."

Li Fagui's eyes darted around as he glanced at the caller ID. "President Tian."

Which Mr. Tian? He doesn't remember!

I pressed a button on my phone, "Hello! Who is this?"

"Oh! It's me, Mr. Li. I saw your post on WeChat Moments that your daughter came home. My daughter wants to get to know your daughter. She's hosting a banquet recently. I was wondering if it would be convenient for you to attend?"

Li Fagui immediately sat up, "Ouch!" He pulled hard, which aggravated his wound.

Li Fagui was so excited that his face turned red, completely ignoring the excruciating pain coming from his wound.

He grimaceed as he inhaled, waving to the nurse to let her not disturb him.

"Mr. Tian, ​​you're too kind! It's an honor for you that your daughter has taken a liking to my daughter!"

His voice was distorted with excitement.

Mr. Tian: "…………………………"

The nurse shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself that this guy was just heartbroken, but now he's like he's been injected with adrenaline.

Li Fagui had no time to care what the nurses thought; his mind was completely occupied with the banquet.

"Mr. Tian, ​​what kind of banquet is it? Are all the guests prominent figures?"

He rubbed his hands together as he asked the question, as if he could already see the lavish scene at the banquet.

"That's natural. Elites from all walks of life will come, which is very beneficial for the children to expand their networks."

"That's what Mr. Tian said on the other end of the phone," Li Fagui said, laughing even harder. "Haha, that's great! My daughter should meet more outstanding people. By the way, what's the theme of the banquet?"

He's like a curious child now, eager to uncover every detail of the banquet.

"The theme is 'Youthful Dreams,' mainly to provide a platform for young people to communicate. There will be many exciting programs and a lucky draw," Mr. Tian explained patiently.

Li Fagui's eyes lit up. "A lottery? That sounds great! What kinds of prizes are there?" He thought to himself that if he could win a big prize, he would be rolling in money.

"We have electronic products, high-end cosmetics, and the like—things that young people like," Mr. Tian replied.

Li Fagui nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, my daughter will definitely like it. Mr. Tian, ​​don't worry, we will be there on time."

He couldn't wait to tell Pear Blossom the good news.

After hanging up the phone, Li Fagui excitedly swung his legs on the hospital bed, imagining the scene at the banquet.

He could almost see his daughter wearing a beautiful dress, shining brightly in the crowd, making all sorts of friends.

"Hehe, my daughter is so outstanding, she'll definitely be the focus of the banquet," he muttered to himself.

The nurse rolled her eyes at him. "Teacher Li, don't bother yourself. Be careful your wound doesn't reopen."

Li Fagu didn't care at all, "Oh, you don't understand, this is a great thing."

As he spoke, he began to call Lotus, preparing to share this good news with her.

He tried calling all night but couldn't get through. He gritted his teeth. What was Lotus doing? Could she have been attracted by those blond guys?

Whenever he has a moment of free time, he starts to let his mind wander.

I fell asleep while thinking about it.

When I woke up in the morning, I saw Ma Hehua sitting in front of the bed eating a lollipop.

He rubbed his eyes; it was actually true.

"Lotus, you've finally come to see me! I've missed you so much!" He, a grown man, spoke in a effeminate manner, looking as if he were a pear blossom in the rain.

Seeing Li Fagui like this, Ma Hehua felt a little sorry for him. "Fagui, I've been busy, haven't I? Don't overthink it. Just focus on recovering. I... I promise I won't hit you again next time."

Li Fagui: "……………………"

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Lotus, what did you say? There will be a next time? You can't treat me like this!" His voice was trembling with tears, completely devoid of his usual masculine charm.

Ma Hehua scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, the lollipop stick in her mouth crunching loudly as she chewed it.

"Oh, I was just joking, you actually took it seriously?"

But Li Fagui didn't think so. He couldn't help but shudder at the thought of being beaten black and blue.

"Lotus, you never hold back when you hit me. My little body can't take your rough treatment."

As he spoke, he wrapped himself even tighter in the blanket, like a frightened quail.

Ma Hehua burst out laughing, "Look at you, a grown man, yet you're more timid than a mouse."

As she spoke, she reached out to touch Li Fagui's face, but Li Fagui dodged away in a panic.

"Lotus, I'm serious. Can we please not hit each other anymore? If you're unhappy about anything, just yell at me, but please don't hit me again."

Li Fagui looked at Ma Hehua with a wronged expression, his eyes full of pleading.

Seeing his expression, Ma Hehua's little temper vanished without a trace.

"Okay, okay, I promise you, I won't hit you anymore. You should get better soon."

Li Fagui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to his face. "Hehua, you're so kind. I knew you wouldn't want to part with me."

Do you think I'm dead?

As soon as Ma Linghua's sinister voice rang out, Li Fagui and Ma Hehua shuddered. Oh my god! They had almost forgotten about their mother.

"By the way, Fa Gui, He Hua said she's going to visit your parents this year. What are you going to say?"

"Go...go ahead!" What could he say?

"Okay! When the time comes, invite Da Mao and his family, along with their children and wives. Since we're going to visit, we should all be there. Your two brothers-in-law should also come along."

Once Ma Linghua said that, it was a certainty, and no one could refute it.

Li Fagui: "???"

Holy crap! What does his mother-in-law want? He understands his son coming to see his grandmother, but what are his two brothers-in-law doing here?

"By the way, your parents don't approve, right?"

"No... I wouldn't recommend it. They're very hospitable."

"Oh! That's good." Ma Linghua's complexion improved considerably.

At this moment, Li Fagui remembered what Boss Tian had said, and he immediately told the three of them what had happened.

“Pear Blossom, you’re an adult now, it’s time for you to have your own social circle, why don’t you go and make your own?”

Li Fagui's lips twitched as he listened to his mother's words. "Go on a trip? What for? But what about venturing into Northeast China?"
