Chapter 2540: Are We Getting Too Close?
Back at the Zeng family clinic, the door was closed, but the lights were still on inside.
Zeng Xiaoya said, "My second uncle and aunt should be eating on the second floor. After they finish eating, they will come down and reopen the door. However, there are usually no patients at night."
The evenings are much more relaxing than the days.
Zeng Xiaoya got out of the car, unlocked the clinic door with her key, and turned to Zhan Yue, who had just gotten out of the car, saying, "It's still early, come in and have a cup of tea."
"Right on my mind."
Zhan Yue helped her take the gifts she received out of the car.
Zeng Xiaoya reopened the clinic's doors.
She invited Zhan Yue to sit down at the tea table where her second uncle usually drank tea, then boiled water, poured out the tea from the original teapot, and brewed tea again.
"It's still early. I hope drinking tea won't affect your sleep tonight."
"No, it's probably because I drink too much coffee and tea. Even if I drink tea at night, I can still sleep like a log."
Zeng Xiaoya laughed, "I used to be unable to sleep all night after drinking a little tea, and now I'm almost the same as you."
"Xiaoya, you're back."
My second aunt came downstairs.
The couple had just finished eating. The second aunt came downstairs first when she heard the noise, while the second uncle was cleaning up the table.
"Second aunt."
Zhan Yue stood up and called out.
Auntie smiled and agreed, and Zhan Yue sat down again.
"have you eaten yet?"
Second Aunt asked.
"I've already eaten. I originally planned to come back in the afternoon, but Grandma Zhan insisted that I stay for dinner before coming back, so I had dinner. Zhan Yue cooked the dishes himself. Second Aunt, Zhan Yue's cooking skills are excellent, even better than our family's cook."
Zeng Xiaoya praised Zhan Yue in front of her second aunt.
The second aunt looked at Zhan Yue with shining eyes; her niece had truly struck gold.
This man comes from a good family, has a good temperament, is capable, and can even cook a delicious meal. He's truly a man who can grace any occasion and excel in the kitchen.
"Really? When can we try Zhan Yue's cooking?"
Zhan Yue immediately said, "If Second Aunt and Second Uncle are willing to do me the honor, I can come over anytime and show you my skills."
Knowing that the couple couldn't leave the clinic all day, Zhan Yue didn't invite them to his home for meals. Instead, he accommodated them and offered to come over and cook for them himself.
My aunt smiled broadly, "Then we won't stand on ceremony. Whenever you have time, come over and show off your skills. Don't worry, we won't look down on you, and we won't treat you like an outsider."
Zhan Yue responded.
Seeing her second aunt laughing so happily, Zeng Xiaoya had the illusion that her second aunt was about to sell her.
She must be overthinking it.
Her second aunt treated her like her own daughter. Since her second uncle and aunt only had sons and no daughters, they were always very good to their niece. How could they possibly sell her?
Yeah, I'm overthinking it.
"Xiaoya."
The sudden sound stopped the laughter inside the room.
Everyone watched as Dr. Lin walked in.
Seeing her senior, Zeng Xiaoya couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Is Senior Lin still not giving up?
"Senior Lin."
Zeng Xiaoya still politely greeted Dr. Lin and asked him to sit down.
Dr. Lin did not sit down. He looked at Zhan Yue and said, "I came to see Mr. Zhan. I guessed that Mr. Zhan was here, and he really is here."
Zhan Yue raised an eyebrow. So his rival was looking for him? What, did she want to steal Zeng Xiaoya from him?
"Dr. Lin wanted to see me about something?"
Zhan Yue remained seated and asked Dr. Lin, "What's the matter? Let's talk here."
Dr. Lin said, "Mr. Zhan, shall we go outside to talk? I'd like to invite you to sit at the coffee shop at the corner."
Zhan Yue looked helpless and stood up, saying to Zeng Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink the tea you brewed tonight. I'll drink it another day when I have time."
"Dr. Lin, let's go, you can buy me coffee."
Dr. Lin nodded to his second aunt, then looked deeply at Zeng Xiaoya for a couple more times before following Zhan Yue out.
He also drove there, and the two of them drove to the coffee shop at the street corner ahead.
Auntie and Xiaoya followed them out and watched the two cars drive away. Auntie said to her niece, "They went to a coffee shop. At most, they'll just banter. They won't actually fight."
"Whether it's Senior Lin or Zhan Yue, they still have some manners and won't resort to violence."
Zeng Xiaoya wasn't worried about them fighting.
She felt sorry for Zhan Yue because she was getting too close to him, which made Lin Xuechang see Zhan Yue as a rival in love and always cause trouble for him.
"Second Aunt, should I keep my distance from Zhan Yue? I feel like Zhan Yue has been dragged down by me because of his house renovation. Also, because I get along well with Grandma Zhan, I've become a little closer to Zhan Yue."
"Senior Lin sees Zhan Yue as a rival in love and is always targeting him. I feel sorry for Zhan Yue."
Auntie said, "If you're upright and honest, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, so what if you and Zhan Yue get closer? You're unmarried and don't have a boyfriend, and Zhan Yue is single too."
"Getting closer to him isn't illegal. Dr. Lin is just feeling pressured because he thinks he's not as good as Zhan Yue, which is why he's doing this."
"Don't worry about him. You've already rejected Dr. Lin, so who cares what he thinks?"
"He even has a backup plan."
Zeng Xiaoya: "...Second Aunt, do you also think that Zhan Yue and I are in a relationship?"
"No, I know you two are just friends and neighbors. My aunt is very pure-hearted and doesn't think as complicated as others might."
Zeng Xiaoya chuckled, took her second aunt's arm, and the two walked into the clinic.
"I always felt like my second aunt was going to sell me off."
“How could that be? You are my niece. I watched you grow up. I love you just as much as your cousins do. I treat you like my own daughter. I cherish you so much. How could I possibly sell you?”
At most, it's just adding fuel to the fire, helping the enemy catch up with Xiaoya.
Second Aunt really thinks highly of Zhan Yue.
The more I looked at him, the more I liked him. I even secretly took photos of Zhan Yue and sent them to my brother and sister-in-law.
Although her brother and sister-in-law were too busy to come back and had never met Zhan Yue in person, Xiao Ya's older brother had met Zhan Yue and, after seeing Zhan Yue's photo, Xiao Ya's parents had no objections.
They didn't share Xiaoya's feeling that Zhan Yue wasn't good enough for them. They believed their child was outstanding and that Zhan Yue was worthy of him.
As long as Zhan Yue is a good man and his feelings for Xiao Ya are genuine, they would approve of the two of them being together.
"How was your visit to Zhan Yue's house today? Was his house alright?"
"A large villa with front and back yards, understated yet luxurious, isn't that what all wealthy families are like?"
"However, his family is really easy to get along with. They don't have any airs of being from a wealthy family. I met his parents, uncle and aunt today. They are all very easy to get along with and approachable."
She had a very good impression of Zhan Yue's elders.
