Chapter 2541 Daring Not to Take the Initiative
Zeng Xiaoya picked up the skincare set that Tang Junye had given her, handed it to her second aunt, and said, "This is a gift from Zhan Yue's aunt to me when we first met. His mother also gave me the same gift."
“It’s skincare products, Auntie. Let’s each take a set. I can’t use that many myself.”
Auntie declined, saying, "Keep these gifts for your first meeting and use them slowly. I have plenty of skincare products, and besides, what they gave you is definitely suitable for someone your age."
“My second aunt is already middle-aged, and the skincare products she uses are different from those used by you young girls.”
Zeng Xiaoya insisted that her second aunt accept one set.
The second aunt couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it, and said with a smile, "Then the second aunt won't be polite with you, I'll accept it."
“We are family, like mother and daughter. You spend more time with me and take care of me than my own mother. In my heart, my second aunt is just like my mother. It is only right that I show her some respect.”
Besides, she really doesn't need that many skincare products.
"What did Dr. Lin want to say to Zhan Yue outside?"
Auntie asked with some concern, "Won't Dr. Lin bully Zhan Yue?"
Second Aunt's heart is biased towards Zhan Yue.
She admires Zhan Yue and hopes her niece can marry him.
It's not that I admire Zhan Yue's family background, but rather the Zhan family's good family traditions. Marrying into a family with such traditions would truly be a blessing.
The men in the Zhan family are devoted to their partners, unlike Dr. Lin, who is pursuing Xiaoya on one hand and can't let go of He Yuehua on the other, treating He Yuehua as a backup plan, intending to marry He Yuehua if he can't win over Xiaoya.
My aunt really doesn't approve of a man like that.
Fortunately, Xiaoya doesn't love Dr. Lin. As long as Xiaoya doesn't love him, he can only marry He Yuehua.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Zhan Yue knows martial arts. How could Senior Lin bully him? It's already good enough that he doesn't bully Senior Lin."
Zeng Xiaoya wasn't worried about Zhan Yue; she just felt sorry for him because of her, Senior Lin always saw Zhan Yue as a rival in love and made trouble for him.
"Yes, I heard that all the young masters of the Zhan family know martial arts. The Zhan family is truly an unconventional wealthy family."
"As expected of a young man that Second Aunt admires, Xiaoya, there are no outsiders here now, just the two of us. Tell Second Aunt the truth, do you like a man like Zhan Yue?"
"Second aunt."
Zeng Xiaoya said, "It's not a matter of whether I like it or not. Love requires mutual consent and liking each other, not just one-sided infatuation. That kind of thing rarely leads to anything, and often it doesn't."
Just like how Lin Xuechang only admires her, if she doesn't love Lin Xuechang, he will have no choice but to give up on her, and he will also feel very sad.
Zeng Xiaoya was dumped by her first love and suffered heartbreak. She knows that when love hurts, it really hurts.
"Zhan Yue is outstanding, handsome, and very charming. It's easy to fall in love with him. Sometimes I can't control my heart, but I have to tell myself not to overthink it."
"Zhan Yue is the young master of the Zhan family. Even if the Zhan family has a good family tradition and the elders of the Zhan family are very open-minded, I dare not have any wild thoughts or dare to hope that my father will like him."
"I'm afraid I'm just being presumptuous. Let's just be friends. His sisters-in-law are all from wealthy families with much stronger backgrounds than ours. Because his sisters-in-law are all very nice, the elders are naturally open-minded and won't object in any way."
“Our family is considered somewhat respectable among our peers, but within their circle, our family is really nothing special. We are not a good match for them, and the gap in reality is too big.”
"So I always keep a clear head and tell myself that Zhan Yue is good to me because he has a lot of questions to ask me about the renovation, and I have helped him a lot."
"Let's just be friends. I'm not thinking about taking it any further, and I won't take that step."
Second Aunt said understandingly, "Second Aunt understands you. Didn't you say that Zhan Yue's parents are very good to you? His uncle and others are too, and his brother and sister-in-law treat you like family."
"It has to be said that his elders are really open-minded. They won't interfere with his feelings. As long as he likes someone and wants to marry her, his elders will respect his choice."
“You treat Zhan Yue as a friend, but I think Zhan Yue has feelings for you. He doesn’t see you as a friend. He likes you. Your second aunt has been through this before and can tell.”
Zeng Xiaoya smiled and said, "Second Aunt, Zhan Yue and I haven't known each other for very long. Including the time he was hospitalized, it's only been about two months. How could he possibly like me?"
"Besides, liking someone doesn't necessarily mean loving them. He might be like that with everyone. I noticed that he was always gentle and polite to Senior Lin. He comes from a wealthy family and received a good education from a young age, so he's very well-mannered."
“He’s nice to everyone. Since we’re both unmarried, you might overthink things.”
Zeng Xiaoya said, "It's not that I'm against being with him, but I can't take the initiative to love him because I'm afraid of getting hurt. I've already been hurt once, and I don't want to go through that again."
Zeng Xiaoya is much more cautious about relationships than before.
"If he has those kinds of feelings for me, and he confesses his feelings to me, then I can consider whether to accept him or be with him."
She admitted that she didn't dare to take the plunge or actively pursue her goals.
Men from the Zhan family are not easily won over by simply pursuing them. His brothers have a plethora of admirers, and many have actively pursued him, but have any of them succeeded?
She didn't dare to take the initiative to pursue him, afraid that she wouldn't succeed.
Even if Zhan Yue really has feelings for her, she still needs to consider whether the two are a good match.
After thinking for a moment, Auntie sighed and said, "That scumbag has hurt you too much. It's better to be careful. If Zhan Yue really loves you, he will confess to you. If he does confess, you should think it over carefully."
"Don't worry about social status. Our family is not bad. In many people's eyes, our family is already a wealthy family. You just need to figure out whether you love Zhan Yue and whether you are willing to spend your life with him."
"The men of the Zhan family are all devoted to their partners. They are faithful to their love and marriage. If he confesses his love to you, it means he has decided on you and will only love you for the rest of his life. So, you only need to look to your own heart."
Xiaoya's aunt held her hand and said earnestly, "Your second uncle and I also hope that you can marry a good man, have a good in-law family, and live a happy life."
"Xiaoya, when fate brings you together, you must open the door and let it in so that you can have a happy ending. If you keep it out, you will miss your true love."
"Zhan Yue is different from that scumbag. Think about it carefully."
Zeng Xiaoya said, "Second Aunt, I've let it go a long time ago. That person is married now, and I don't care how he's doing. Zhan Yue is different from him. He doesn't deserve to be compared to Zhan Yue."
