Chapter 921: Chapter 913: Justified and Confident
"Hey, why is your thinking so outdated? They’re not married yet; they’re just dating. This is fair competition, right?" Qian Huahua said confidently.
"I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Good luck winning him over soon." Her colleague said, then went back to her work. Qian Huahua put on a pair of pointed shoes and clattered downstairs.
Xiao Yifei had no way to deal with Qian Huahua’s relentless pursuit. Considering Qian Huahua was a girl who cared about her reputation, he tried to reject her gently. But unexpectedly, Qian Huahua seemed to be obsessed with him and would show up whenever he had to work overtime.
At first, Xiao Yifei thought the director might advise his daughter to give up after knowing he had rejected her. After all, such a drama played out daily in the hospital, and it wasn’t good for the director’s reputation.
However, Xiao Yifei didn’t expect that Qian Huahua was a girl who had been spoiled since childhood. Director Qian always felt he owed his daughter due to his busy work schedule, so he tried his best to satisfy her materially. Whatever she wanted, he would buy it for her immediately, even if she wanted stars in the sky.
Director Qian couldn’t control his daughter.
As soon as Qian Huahua entered the hospital, a doctor greeted her, "Huanhuan, here to see Dr. Xiao Yifei again? What tasty treats did you bring today? If you keep feeding Dr. Xiao like this, he’ll soon be too heavy to walk."
"That’s exactly what I want. Once he gains weight, no one will fight me for him, and he’ll always be mine," Qian Huahua said.
The doctor couldn’t understand Qian Huahua’s quirky logic, smiled, and walked away.
Xiao Yifei was already struggling to avoid Qian Huahua every day. Today, he specifically swapped shifts with a doctor. According to the regular duty roster, he was supposed to be on duty tonight. But he knew Qian Huahua probably knew all about the hospital’s arrangements, so he waited until this morning to swap shifts with a colleague who agreed only after Xiao Yifei promised to take two night shifts in return.
When Qian Huahua reached Xiao Yifei’s office, she found the door closed. She thought he might have gone for lunch. After waiting for a short while, a young nurse came over, seeing Qian Huahua waiting; she knew what was up: "Are you waiting for Dr. Xiao? He already clocked out. I saw him leave the hospital ten minutes ago."
"Isn’t he on night duty today?" Qian Huahua grabbed the nurse’s arm and asked anxiously.
"I’m not sure, maybe he had something urgent and swapped shifts with another doctor," the young nurse replied.
So, Qian Huahua stormed toward her father’s office. Director Qian thought his daughter was bringing him food, but seeing her angry face, he knew she had faced setbacks with Xiao Yifei again.
"Dad, how could you do this? You knew Xiao Yifei wasn’t on night duty tonight, why didn’t you tell me earlier!" Qian Huahua said angrily. noveldrama
"So you’re here to blame me! I manage this huge hospital, how could I keep track of Xiao Yifei’s shifts? If I had to manage such trivial matters, I’d be exhausted. Besides, I didn’t know you’d come today. You really need to work on your temper." Director Qian’s anger rose as his daughter questioned him.
"No, dad, I didn’t mean it that way. It’s just that you’re my dad, can’t you pay a little attention to my things? I like Xiao Yifei, so you could keep an eye on his schedule for me. It wouldn’t be too hard, just keep an eye out," Qian Huahua, realizing her emotions were a bit out of control, resorted to her usual tactic — acting cute.
Hearing his daughter speak like that, Director Qian’s anger dissipated, and he said, "It’s not that I don’t want to help, but romance can’t be forced. It’s clear Xiao Yifei isn’t interested in you. Maybe when he didn’t have a girlfriend, there might have been a chance, but now it seems unlikely. You should probably find a new target."
"I’ll hold on for a bit more. When my crush fades, you won’t need to persuade me; I’ll let go on my own," Qian Huahua said.
Director Qian knew his daughter well; she was stubborn, and when her temper flared, nothing anyone said would work. But once her temper subsided, she would be fine, so Director Qian stopped interfering in her love life. Secretly, he hoped his daughter could win over Xiao Yifei someday, even though it seemed impossible now.
"Since you said so, I won’t interfere anymore. But Huanhuan, a piece of advice: you can like and pursue someone, but don’t lower yourself to please them on purpose, or they’ll look down on you. If no one eats the food you brought, let’s enjoy it ourselves," Director Qian said, eyeing the bag Huanhuan brought.
"You’re really devoted to Xiao Yifei! I’ve never seen you buy anything for me." Director Qian said jealously.
"Dad, you’re so grown up, why are you still jealous over such small things? If you want something tasty, go ask mom," Qian Huahua said, starting to open the food she brought, eating with her father.
After they finished eating, Director Qian had hospital work to do, so Qian Huahua left on her own first.
On her way home, the more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. She realized she had never felt so aggrieved since she was young, even though this grievance was self-inflicted. She felt like she was genuinely stuck this time. In the past, liking someone was just a fleeting moment.
Everyone else saw her approach toward Xiao Yifei as bold and carefree. Although they spoke nicely to her, who knew what they said about her behind her back? Surely they called her shameless and desperate.
She didn’t care about what others said; she only felt hurt by Xiao Yifei’s attitude towards her, always so cold, even his rejections were blunt.
He used to date casually, thinking if he found someone attractive, he might give it a try. If it didn’t work out, he’d initiate a breakup. He’d carefully probe his feelings, and once he sensed the other party wasn’t interested, he’d abandon his target.
This time, though, she even felt it was different from anyone before. There was a term called destiny, and when Qian Huahua looked at Xiao Yifei, she felt this sense of destiny. Unfortunately, Xiao Yifei didn’t feel the same way about Qian Huahua.
