Fortunately, nobody was hurt, and it was a blessing in disguise that Zhu Daodao was there. Otherwise, Xiao Qian and Shuixian might have been wiped out.

“Let it go, Dexi is fine too. I’ll make the decision on Old Zhu’s behalf since he’s away on business,” Mother Zhu said.

Tang Daye glanced at Shuixian, who was chatting with the bandaged Zhu Daodao, and had a flash of inspiration.

“I’m just about to go back to my hometown for some errands. I’m worried about Shuixian staying at the hotel alone. Why don’t we let her stay at your place for a few days? She can look after Dexi nearby. After all, he was injured because of her, and I feel very guilty.”

Xiao Qian looked at Tang Daye in surprise, as these words didn’t sound like something he would say.

It was the first blind date, and he proposed her to live at the man’s home. When did Director Tang become so open-minded?

“Oh, that’s great! We have too many rooms in our house, and it’s empty when Old Zhu isn’t home. Don’t worry, Brother Tang. I’ll take good care of Shuixian. The main point is to give the young couple more chances to be together,” Mother Zhu said, her face creasing in a smile. Tang Daye reached out his hand, “Then I’ll leave her to you!”

An agreement was reached, and Shuixian was sold by her father.

Tang Daye didn’t dare to tell his daughter directly. Knowing that she can be stubborn, he was sure she would refuse. So he pulled Xiao Qian aside before leaving.

“Xiao Chen, help me with something.”

“You tell her yourself. I’m a doctor, and I won’t take the blame for you,” Xiao Qian immediately guessed what he was thinking.

“Aren’t you two friends?”

Xiao Qian:…

He’s acting coquettishly at this age, imitating her and Shuixian’s way of speaking. It sounds quite strange.

“Then I’ll leave with peace of mind. I’ll entrust her to you.” Tang Daye was about to go, but Xiao Qian stopped him.

“Old Tang, why do you have so much faith in Zhu Dexi? Shuixian is still very young. Is this really appropriate?”

A complex emotion flashed in Tang Daye’s eyes before he quickly concealed it.

“She’s not that young anymore. Instead of letting her mess around with boyfriends outside, I might as well help her arrange a good match. After all, the Zhu and Tang families are well-matched, and Old Zhu and I share the same fate…”

The last few words were tinged with sadness. Although he quickly stopped, Xiao Qian had heard it.

“I think you better not hide it from Shuixian. If you really want to do that, she isn’t a child anymore. I’ve done professional tests on her; she has strong psychological resilience. The only thing that makes her feel vulnerable is you. Of course, I think you, the kind of cunning businessman who usually brings disaster on for thousands of years, will be able to come back safely.”

“You know?!” Tang Daye asked in surprise.

Xiao Qian gestured to her stomach and made a cutting motion with her hand.

“I guessed.”

This time, Tang Daye should be going for surgery.

By now, he should have found out about his early-stage stomach cancer.

Tang Daye sighed, “Xiao Chen, you’re too smart. How did you know?”

He indeed needed surgery, which should have been done a long time ago. But his concern for his daughter’s condition did not allow him to do so. He was afraid that if his surgery failed, his daughter would not be able to survive, so he kept pushing it. Now that Shuixian is being treated well by Xiao Qian, he felt he cannot delay it anymore.

“Shuixian told me that you had stomach problems and she was worried about you. She asked you to see a doctor, but you wouldn’t go. In my experience, fathers who are particularly caring to their daughters generally don’t rush their daughters to get married. Shuixian is so young, and yet you’re so eager to find her a good family. I guess that’s why.”

In fact, Xiao Qian had only just thought of it.

In her past life, Shuixian had kept clashing with Tang Daye, causing him to delay his surgery until it was too late to save him.

This was indeed intriguing. It seemed that Tang Daye was more worried about his innocent daughter being deceived, so he’d rather give up on a marriage alliance to find her a stable home instead.

In her past life, Shuixian hadn’t met Xiao Qian at this time. When she was preparing for her blind date, she fainted and nearly died. After resuscitation and care, when she was finally well, Zhu Daodao’s eyes had recovered as well, and the two didn’t get to meet due to a series of events.

In this life, everything changed because Xiao Qian came back and triggered the butterfly effect.

“The hospital I found is a domestic authority; there won’t be any problems. It’s just a minor surgery to remove one-third of the stomach,” Tang Daye downplayed the issue.

“If it’s just a minor surgery, you wouldn’t have kept it from Shuixian. Tell her about it. Whether it goes well or not, don’t leave her with regrets. Trust Shuixian; she can handle it. She’s a very strong girl.”

Tang Daye looked at his daughter who was chatting with Zhu Dexi about something, and sighed.

“Let me think about it.”

“Okay, I’m just offering advice as a doctor. Rationally dealing with problems is good, but if there’s no emotion involved, life would be meaningless.” Xiao Qian finished speaking and prepared to leave.

“Xiao Chen…” Tang Daye called her back.

“What’s up?”

“If I can come back alive, would you be willing to accept me as your godfather?”

“Old Tang, you want to find a pillar of support for Shuixian for her whole life?”

Xiao Qian spoke bluntly, and Tang Daye didn’t hide his thoughts either.

“Yes, and no. I do think you’re a very insightful person, and you have a good relationship with Shuixian, so you’d be helpful to her. But personally, I also greatly admire your abilities.”

A parent’s heart is always thinking about their children. Even when his life was hanging by a thread, Tang Daye wanted to help his daughter pave the way for her future.

Xiao Qian’s achievements at this age were truly remarkable. Tang Daye, an experienced old-timer, instantly sensed her potential.

“So, you trust me that much, and you’re not afraid I’ll take advantage of your absence to trick Shuixian? I admit, Shuixian inherits some of your gifts, but right now, she’s still a child.”

Xiao Qian could easily trick Shuixian if she wanted to. Tang Daye should know this as well.

“I trust my own judgment of people. Chen Xiaoqian, your eyes have a certain stubborn persistence that children your age shouldn’t have. I’ve seen it in many successful people, but what I admire the most is your dedication to treating patients. I believe that you’re a principled person.”

“Sometimes, I don’t believe in myself…” Xiao Qian laughed sarcastically. Tang Daye was still waiting for her answer.

Xiao Qian took out a bottle of essential oil she’d formulated from her pocket and handed it to Tang Daye.

“If you can’t sleep because of discomfort, you can use this cedarwood essential oil. It’s one of the most effective anti-cancer methods in the world, known as the vitamin of the air. I’m giving you my most valuable possession.”

“I’m still waiting for your answer.”

Xiao Qian turned and walked away slowly, leaving only her silhouette behind..
