Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 98 Can I be my aunt's boyfriend?
As night falls, the streetlights in the residential area are already lit, and the trees are bathed in soft light, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

During the day, because of her niece's promise to Du Lian, Qi Fei actually sat at the Du Lian family's dining table.

When children came to eat, Du Lian put his heart into it, making several dishes that children would like and that were not spicy.

"Uncle's cooking is so delicious!" the little girl said, taking big mouthfuls of food with her spoon.

In her bowl was a rich tomato stewed beef brisket, the tomato sauce soaking the rice, making each grain of rice sweet and delicious, and Du Lian had specially stewed the beef brisket for a long time until it was very tender.

Besides the food in her bowl, there were also Thai black tiger prawns and vegetables that Qi Fei had peeled for her on the plate next to her.

Du Lian didn't say anything about the little girl's praise; he just smiled.

Qi Fei picked up some food and smiled as she looked at the little girl, "You little rascal, other people's things are always better..."

Qi Fei did not deny that Du Lian's cooking was indeed quite delicious, which made her look at Du Lian in a new light.

"Auntie, what about the uncle? Can he not be someone else's?" The little girl looked at Qi Fei with a childlike face, and she was serious about this question.

Qi Fei chuckled, "Uncle was never related to our family from birth, so he can only belong to someone else's family."

The little girl was clearly not satisfied with the answer. She rolled her eyes and remained silent for a long time. Qi Fei and Du Lian thought she was unhappy because she couldn't accept the answer.

The little girl's quirky and clever appearance was truly adorable, which made Du Lian take a few more glances at her.

What Du Lian and Qi Fei didn't expect was that the little girl was actually thinking about something with the intelligence of a five-and-a-half-year-old.

"Can Uncle be my Aunt's boyfriend? That way, Uncle won't belong to someone else."

"Cough...cough..." Qi Fei choked on her words. She instinctively patted her chest and then grabbed the water on the table and took a big gulp.

In the morning, she was so embarrassed she could have carved out a three-bedroom apartment; now, she could have carved out a large villa.

Du Lian casually pulled out a tissue and handed it to Qi Fei, but then he shook his finger at the little girl, "No, Uncle doesn't date."

Hearing Du Lian explicitly reject this deal, which was still far from being finalized, only fueled Qi Fei's competitive spirit.

"I would never date you. Who would date a colleague? It's so unlucky!"

One said no, the other said impossible, and the little girl sighed heavily like an adult.

"Sigh...it's so hard to get a free meal!"

The little girl's precocious manner made Qi Fei and Du Lian burst into laughter. They really didn't expect that this little brat could say so many outrageous things.

However, after that laugh, the awkward atmosphere disappeared, and Du Lian and Qi Fei both pretended not to have heard what their little niece had just said.

However, Qi Fei was a little upset that Du Lian had rejected her so directly.

Under the streetlights, the traffic flowed like ribbons, and the road to the hospital was congested again.

Tong Ziyan was taken to the hospital where Tang Ying worked, and Ming Wei immediately called Tang Ying.

"Hey, what do you want?"

Tang Ying's voice was relaxed; she was clearly not in the hospital.

"Pei Ming's sister-in-law fainted and was taken to your emergency room. I was going to ask if you're at the hospital tonight."

"My junior brother is here tonight, I'll give him a call."

"Okay, I'll leave the person to you." Ming Wei knew that Tang Ying was the most reliable person.

"Are you coming over later? Or do you need me to come over?" Tang Ying guessed Ming Weiyi's intentions, and she chose to be the one who was half-heartedly reluctant.

"If you come over, that would be great. We can go out for a late-night snack tonight."

With Tang Ying around, the entire medical process tonight can be handled by Tang Ying, and Ming Wei won't have to worry about anything. Plus, the two of them can get together.

Tang Ying readily agreed, "Okay, I'll head out right now."

"Love you!"

"roll!"

Ming Wei's sweet "confession" was met with Tang Ying's disdainful voice, which made Pei Ming, sitting in the driver's seat, unable to help but raise the corners of his mouth.

The emergency room is much busier at night, as it's a hub for urgent treatment of various illnesses and injuries. Both medical staff and patients are racing against time.

In the observation room, Tong Ziyan was lying on the hospital bed receiving an IV drip. As glucose was injected into her body, her consciousness gradually returned, but she still felt that her body was very heavy.

"Zi Yan! You're awake!" Pei Cheng showed obvious joy when he saw Tong Zi Yan open her eyes.

Tong Ziyan slowly looked around at her surroundings, then looked at Pei Cheng weakly and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Before Pei Cheng could answer Tong Ziyan, Lu Xiao had already walked to the foot of the hospital bed, accompanied by Ming Weiyi and Pei Ming.

"Sister-in-law, how are you? Are you feeling better?" Ming Wei also walked up to Tong Ziyan with concern, and bent down slightly to check if Tong Ziyan had any serious problems.

Lu Xiao could see Tong Ziyan's helplessness, so he said, "The patient probably didn't eat much today, right? Her initial diagnosis is hypoglycemia."

Tong Ziyan nodded. She had spent all her time rehearsing today, and she didn't have much of an appetite. She only ate a few bites of whole wheat bread in the morning.

"Ziyan, it's all my fault for not coming to Jiangcheng to find you yesterday." Pei Cheng's tone was full of guilt. He should have been by Tong Ziyan's side when she was in a bad mood.

"It's all your fault! Your sister-in-law must be in no mood to eat because of you."

Mingwei could also see Pei Cheng's guilt at this moment, so she simply pushed all the blame onto Pei Cheng, hoping that this would make Pei Cheng feel even more guilty towards Tong Ziyan.

"Junior brother, how is the patient?" A sixth person walked into the observation room. Tang Ying glanced at Tong Ziyan's condition and then turned her gaze to Lu Xiao.

In Lu Xiao's eyes, Tang Ying's question wasn't about caring for the patient, but rather about his treatment plan.

"Senior, as soon as the patient was brought in, we immediately did an electrocardiogram, blood count, cardiac enzymes, biochemistry tests, and blood sugar tests. Her blood sugar was only 2.8, but the other tests were normal. I gave her glucose and electrolytes..."

"Anything else?" Tang Ying was not satisfied with Lu Xiao's answer.

"I checked her HCG levels, and I'll decide whether or not to perform a cranial CT scan after the HCG results come back."

Lu Xiao's addition satisfied Tang Ying. "Very good. Keep an eye on things later. As soon as the HCG results come out, tell me immediately."

During Tang Ying and Lu Xiao's conversation, the others didn't interrupt. In Ming Weiyi's eyes, Tang Ying just sounded like a teacher asking questions to a student. So this is what her best friend is like when she's serious.

"What is HCG?" Ming Weiyi couldn't help but ask weakly.

Lu Xiao casually took off her mask and smiled. "Simply put, it's about checking if the patient is pregnant."

With his silver-rimmed glasses, clean and defined features, and tall, slender figure, wearing a white coat, Ming Wei looked at Lu Xiao and couldn't help but think to herself: Tang Ying has such a handsome junior brother?

HCG: Human chorionic gonadotropin, is an indicator used to confirm pregnancy.
