Tang Li fully utilized his advantages as a race car driver, arriving at the hospital as quickly as possible.
He went straight to the imposing office.
Ling Li was still somewhat intimidated when he saw Tang Li.
"You arrived so quickly?"
Tang Li was panting. The elevator was crowded when she came up, so she took the stairs.
But it was too late.
“My dad went for a consultation with an old friend’s son, and the situation is not optimistic.”
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to return to China at this crucial moment.
Ling Li stood up sharply, walked to Tang Li's side, then squatted down and reached out his hand.
Startled, Tang Li quickly pulled his foot back.
"Does Dr. Ling still hold grudges?"
Ling Li looked up at her:
"Miss Tang, you overestimate yourself. I'm just worried that if your leg is really crippled, it will cause trouble for Chen Yu."
If she weren't so lively and energetic, Huo Chenyu really might have done something like locking her up at home to recover from her injuries for three months!
This is something Ling Li doesn't want to see.
Therefore, he checked very carefully.
"Your foot should rest for a few days. Let seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls do things like climbing stairs. You're already in your mid-twenties. It's better to just take the elevator."
The young woman in her twenties said she felt offended by Dr. Ling.
"I'm just rushing here to see your father."
Tang Li felt a little awkward. She had indeed felt some discomfort in her feet these past few days, but she hadn't paid much attention to it.
He stood up sharply and returned to his seat.
"My dad will stay in Tanzhou for a while. Don't worry, he can't run away. Besides, haven't you already gotten the result you wanted?"
Sharp!
He knows all of this!
Tang Li subconsciously clutched his bag:
How did you know?
While writing the prescription, Ling Li deliberately asked:
"Know what?"
Tang Li emphasized:
"That's the result I wanted, just as you said."
He chuckled sharply and handed her the form.
"After you pay the fee, go to the pharmacy to pick up your medicine. Remember to follow the doctor's orders carefully. Don't worry, I have medical ethics and won't kill you."
To be honest, when Ling Li isn't being infatuated with men, he's a pretty good person.
Tang Li took the order and said thank you.
But still unwilling to give up, he asked:
"Ling Li, you..."
Before she could ask, he swiftly slammed the pen cap shut, braced his hands on the table, and looked at her with a serious expression, saying:
"I think you must have misunderstood. My feelings for Shen Yu are not the kind you think. Besides, even if I were attracted to men as you say, it's just the old saying about food and sex. I'm not stupid. Do you think I can't see through your friend's little tricks?"
That friend, of course, refers to the ball sent by Brother Seven.
After finishing his sharp remark, he added with a smile:
"Actually, your little tricks are no different from what I see when a teacher stands on the podium. I know exactly whether those naughty students are sleeping under their textbooks or eating spicy snacks."
This metaphor is very apt!
Tang Li gave up:
"Since you already know, why don't you just tell me the answer?"
Sharp Hmm:
"Tell you what? Tell you that you don't need to look anymore, that he is your ex-husband's biological father? Do you dare believe what I say?"
Well...
That's true!
Tang Li nodded:
"You are indeed somewhat untrustworthy in my eyes."
Ling Li wasn't angry; instead, he shrugged.
"So, take your prescription and get out of here. My dad's favorite dishes are boiled fish, braised pork knuckle, braised tofu with yellow catfish, and the most common stir-fried green peppers with pork. I need to go prepare the ingredients for him after work."
This is an implication; anyone who doesn't understand it is a fool!
Tang Li said with utmost enthusiasm:
"What a coincidence! Dr. Ling, I'm very good at making all the dishes you mentioned. You can't find authentic flavors like mine in most restaurants. How about we have a meal together, Dr. Ling and your father?"
At that moment, Lu Zhixing sneezed loudly.
My hands are itching a bit; it seems like I have some work to do!
Ling Li nodded reluctantly:
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to send your location."
Tang Li smiled and said:
"No problem, Dr. Ling, see you tomorrow!"
After leaving the hospital, Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that tomorrow he could learn from his stern father about the past that Uncle Sheng had forgotten after his injury.
But right now, the most important thing is--
"Fourth brother~"
Tang Li made a direct phone call to Lu Zhixing.
Lu Zhixing, who had just finished sneezing, looked at the lightning outside the window and then heard Tang Li's soft, sweet voice, which made him tremble all over.
“My little darling, it’s going to thunder soon, don’t stand under the tree.”
Tang Li looked up and saw that there really was a big tree next to him.
Lightning flashed across the night sky, and Tang Li, startled, returned to the hospital lobby.
"Fourth Brother, how did you know I was under the tree?"
Lu Zhixing couldn't help but smile:
"I also know there's a man with only half a body begging next to you. If it rains soon, look closely, and you'll see that the magical rain can make people grow legs. Do you believe it?"
It turned out that the loudspeaker next to the beggar had betrayed her.
Tang Li admired Lu Zhixing's insight, which showed that he carefully observed the surroundings every time he entered or left the hospital.
It's going to rain soon.
Tang Li didn't have time to wait for the beggar to grow legs.
She got straight to the point:
"Fourth Brother, may I borrow your cooking skills tomorrow?"
Lu Zhixing agreed without hesitation:
"good."
Why did you agree so readily?
Tang Li felt embarrassed instead.
