Chapter 194: Chapter 185 I Like You Too! (Second Update)

"Now that you mention it, you really reminded me!" Yi Weiyang said with a laugh, "Connie, thank you!"

"I’m Luowa’s friend, and you’re her second uncle, which makes you my second uncle too." Connie chuckled, "Would you like some water? I’ll grab it for you."

"No, no, sit down and rest for a bit." Yi Weiyang smiled warmly, "Honestly, I’ve been resisting the idea of getting a prosthetic because it feels like it’s not part of me. But now that you’ve brought it up, I actually feel kind of eager to get one. I want to practice walking smoothly before Luowa’s wedding—can’t let my condition impact the aesthetics of her big day."

"Second Uncle, you’re so thoughtful toward Luowa. You always put her first." Connie smiled as she adjusted Yi Weiyang’s blanket.

"Luowa is such a good kid, but her life hasn’t been easy. Meeting all of you is her fortune. I believe her future life will only get better and better." Yi Weiyang chuckled aloud as he envisioned Yi Luowa’s future, his heart growing sweeter with each thought.

"Second Uncle, don’t worry about a thing. My sister-in-law is more beloved in our family than I am. And you haven’t seen how protective my brother gets over his wife—it’d reassure you completely." Tong Aino said as he stood up, stretching after sitting for too long.

Yi Weiyang nodded with a smile, "Airui is really very good to Luowa!"

"Achoo!" Yi Luowa, lying in the hospital bed, sneezed suddenly.

Mo Shanshan froze, "Did you catch a cold?"

Yi Luowa rubbed her itchy nose, "Nah, it must be Tong Aino talking bad about me behind my back!"

"Well, let me prepare an ice pack for you. It might feel a bit uncomfortable at first, but you’ll have to bear with it..."

Mo Shanshan started rambling on, and Yi Luowa stared eagerly at the ice pack in her hand, feeling impatient. She wanted to say, "Hurry up already—wait any longer and the ice will melt!"

Mo Shanshan noticed her urgency and laughed, "Getting impatient? My personality is just unstoppable, isn’t it? Everyone who sees me feels rushed! Haha..."

Yi Luowa facepalmed, "If you know it, then why not speed up?"

"In my line of work, human lives are at stake—you can’t afford to be sloppy. When I was younger, I could be quicker, but now I’ve just gotten slower and slower." Mo Shanshan gently placed the ice pack on Yi Luowa’s swollen eyelids. Seeing her shiver from the cold, she burst into laughter, "Luowa, does Dr. Mai’s family think poorly of me?"

Yi Luowa replied with a smile, "No, not at all!"

Mo Shanshan laughed at herself, "Not at all? My dad even got a call saying their family thinks we’re too rich, and that Mai Ze-kai isn’t a good match for me. But those are just excuses—they simply didn’t take a liking to me. Ever since I was fifteen, there’ve been plenty of people pursuing me, but I’ve never been moved by any of them. My brother and sister are married already, and I was so scared of being pressured by the family to marry that I left the country. Just three days after I returned, I met Mai Ze-kai. For the first time, I felt something... but then got rejected."

Yi Luowa adjusted the ice pack and squinted up at her, "Shanshan, do you really like Old Seven?"

"I admire his determination and meticulousness in academics, and his innovative spirit. But as for him as a person, I don’t like him all that much—he’s even slower than me and so full of himself."

"So you want to humble him a bit?" Yi Luowa pouted and asked.

Mo Shanshan nodded, "I can’t stand people putting on airs in front of me."

Yi Luowa sighed, "Well, to put it bluntly, my parents—oh, that’s your fourth uncle and aunt—actually have a pretty good impression of you. Aunt Xixi didn’t criticize you either. My eldest uncle hasn’t shared his thoughts. The issue lies with Old Seven himself—you want to bring him down, and he wants to bring you down. If neither of you makes a concession, you’ll just keep locking horns."

Mo Shanshan slowly picked up the ice pack and placed it back over her eyes, "So you’re saying I should be the one to relent?"

"I’m just giving you my analysis—if it’s true love, whether you make concessions or he does doesn’t really matter." Yi Luowa pouted again, "If you got together with Old Seven, it’d be great—work together, come home together. Shanshan, do you know I feel so lost and aimless when Tong Airui’s away? The moment I have free time, I just start thinking about him..."

Mo Shanshan saw tears welling up again and quickly patted Yi Luowa’s hand, "Cry more, and your eyes will get even puffier. When Tong Airui comes back, he won’t find you as pretty anymore."

"No way!" Yi Luowa sniffled, "Shanshan, I know you don’t like calling Tong Airui Fourth Uncle. So why don’t you chase Old Seven? Then you can call Tong Airui Fourth Brother instead."

"So I should shamelessly pursue someone who doesn’t love me just for that?" Mo Shanshan chuckled as she grabbed a piece of medical gauze and wiped Yi Luowa’s nose.

"You sneaky thing!" Yi Luowa laughed out loud, "Don’t try to deny it—you might not realize your own feelings yet, but your actions have already betrayed you."

"What actions?" Mo Shanshan asked with a smile.

"You know better than I do." Yi Luowa grinned, "Honestly, I quite like you, too. If only you could be quicker, I’d like you even more."

"I like you too—you made a strong first impression. You’re genuine, unpretentious. There aren’t many girls like you nowadays."

"Then let’s be together!" Yi Luowa laughed gleefully.

Mo Shanshan shook her head with a laugh, "If I do, what about Tong Airui? When he gets back, he’d probably kill me!"

Yi Luowa’s face lit up with a blissful smile, "My Fourth Brother is a good guy—he’d never do that."

Standing outside the door the whole time, Mai Ze-kai listened to their conversation, pursed his lips, and turned back to his office. Just as he walked in, his phone rang.

The voice of an anxious nurse from the outpatient clinic came through, "Dr. Mai, please come to the emergency room immediately—there’s a critical patient."

"Alright, I’ll be right there!" Hearing about the patient, Mai Ze-kai bolted out the door. He was in such a hurry that he bumped into Mo Shanshan, who was just stepping out.

Yi Luowa, lying in bed, heard the loud "thud" and quickly took off her ice pack to jump down. Seeing Mo Shanshan still sitting on the floor, she rushed to help her up.

Mo Shanshan quickly waved her hand, "Don’t help me. I think I might have fractured my tailbone."

Yi Luowa froze and looked up at Mai Ze-kai, who was standing there stunned, "Old Seven, what should we do?"

"I..." Mai Ze-kai glanced around, grabbed a wheelchair from behind the door, and bent down to pick up Mo Shanshan, "Let’s take you for an X-ray to see if your tailbone is fractured."

"Send me to the emergency room first—they’ve got critical patients," Mo Shanshan said painfully as she settled into the wheelchair.

"I’ll handle the patients!" Mai Ze-kai frowned slightly, "What’s more important—the patients or your health?"

Mo Shanshan shook her head, "Saving lives is our duty. They wouldn’t call me unless it was serious."

"How are you supposed to save lives in this state?" Mai Ze-kai turned to Yi Luowa, "Fourth Sister-in-law, help me take her to the X-ray room. I’ll go check on the outpatient situation."

Yi Luowa nodded. She also agreed it was better to take Mo Shanshan for imaging first.

Mo Shanshan shifted slightly in the wheelchair, "It doesn’t seem to hurt that much anymore—I might have misjudged."

Mai Ze-kai shot her an annoyed look, "So even the great Dr. Mo can make a misdiagnosis!"

Mo Shanshan took a deep breath. Unable to hold it in, she looked up at him and yelled, "Can you not mock me for just one second?!"

Mai Ze-kai’s lips twitched, "I’m heading to the outpatient now." View the correct content at fr\eewe.bno vel.c(o)m

"Isn’t Shanshan going to the outpatient too? Why don’t you just push her along?" Yi Luowa hurriedly pushed the wheelchair toward him. "I’ll go check on my second uncle. Bye!"
