"Chief, does little Qiu have someone in her heart?"
"Unfortunately, the other person doesn't like her!" Chief Qiu said with frustration, pointing at his daughter. "She's really thick-headed!"
"Dad—" Qiu Xinyi's proud self-esteem was bruised by her father's words in front of outsiders, causing her face to flush with embarrassment and anger. "Don't meddle in my affairs. I'm already at this age, not like it's easy to get married..."
"If I don't, who will? You're already this age and still worry me... cough cough cough..." Chief Qiu couldn't finish his sentence before a violent fit of coughing took over.
"Chief! Are you alright? Quickly, have some water."
"Dad! Are you okay?"
Chief Qiu patted his chest, took a breath, and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine. It's this girl that gets me worked up!"
With that, he squeezed his neck, swallowed a few times, feeling that the nodule pressing against his throat seemed to be getting worse.
