On the day of the blind date, the heir of a wealthy family pulled me to get the certificate.

"That's all. If you have to say there's a relationship, it's just that we're neighbors, or ordinary friends."

Dr. Lin chuckled.

"Xiaoya, I'm a man, and men understand men. Zhan Yue's gaze towards you is strange; he's definitely after you."

“He bought a house upstairs from you, and I suspect it’s all so that we can be neighbors, taking advantage of our proximity.”

The houses in Wansheng Garden are not cheap, but Zhan Yue bought one with ease. I heard that he paid in full and it was a large flat.

It's unclear whether Zhan Yue used his own money or asked his brother and sister-in-law for it. His cousin's wife owns shops on Wansheng Street, and the rent she receives each month is enough to buy an apartment in Wansheng Garden.

"Senior Lin, you're overthinking it. Zhan Yue isn't what you're saying."

"Senior Lin, let's not involve other people in our affairs. I'm telling you the truth, and I hope you'll think it over carefully."

“My second uncle considers Lin a student, and I don’t want you to be afraid to discuss medical issues with him because of matters of the heart.”

Putting aside Lin's feelings for her, Zeng Xiaoya greatly admired his attitude towards his studies.

Dr. Lin moved his lips as if to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

The waiter brought over the coffee and juice for the two of them, and then he asked Zeng Xiaoya, "Would you like to order some snacks?"

"No need. Eating sweets at night can easily lead to weight gain, and you'll need to run on the treadmill for a long time."

She doesn't have time to go for a run in the evening; there are too many people around, and it's not a good time to run at night.

If she has time to exercise, she will run on the treadmill in her small home gym for a while.

"Senior Lin, you really should consider He Yuehua. When you can't have mutual love, choose the one who loves you. Because she loves you, she will treat you well, care about you, and be concerned about you wholeheartedly."

"If I don't love you, and we're forced to stay together, I won't care about you, I won't be nice to you, and I'll be very cold to you. That kind of marriage is probably not what you want, right?"

"Besides, I would never marry someone I don't love. I would rather stay single than force myself to settle."

Dr. Lin's face turned a little pale.

Zeng Xiaoya's repeated rejections were like a knife, stabbing him hard in the heart, causing him immense pain.

But she had to face the cruel reality: she didn't love him, she just didn't love him.

No matter what he does, she doesn't see it, and she's not moved.

"Xiaoya, let me think about it carefully."

Dr. Lin said bitterly.

He was in a state of great turmoil.

She didn't want to fall out with the Zeng family, nor did she want to give up easily, and she was even less willing to reluctantly accept He Yuehua.

In He Yuehua's words, he was just too persistent, which caused him pain.

Zeng Xiaoya picked up the glass of juice she had ordered, drank half of it, put the glass down, picked up her handbag containing her phone, stood up, and said to Lin Jian, "Senior Lin, that's all I have to say. Think it over carefully."

"I'm going home first. I usually get home a long time ago, but I haven't gone back yet because I'm afraid my second uncle and aunt will worry."

"Okay, I'll give it to you."

"No need. It's on the same street, so close, it's less than a three-minute walk. Senior Lin should also go back and rest early. If you did anything to Miss He, you should take responsibility. Senior Lin has always been a responsible man."

After saying that, Zeng Xiaoya turned and left to pay the bill. This time, she paid.

Lin Jian tried to stop her, but Zeng Xiaoya had already paid the bill, so he had no choice but to give up, sit back down, and slowly savor the coffee he had ordered. He hadn't added sugar, so the coffee tasted bitter.

Just like his mood at this moment.

The words Zeng Xiaoya said before leaving told him that Xiaoya had guessed what he and He Yuehua had done last night, and she might have also learned some things from He Yuehua.

He touched He Yuehua, and although he didn't cross the final line of defense, he hugged, kissed, and touched her, taking full advantage of her.

Xiaoya is very particular about relationships; if he has been with other women, she will absolutely never accept him again.

Why does he need to drink?

If he doesn't drink, he won't mistake Yuehua for Xiaoya.

Lin Jian was filled with regret.

Zeng Xiaoya rode her electric scooter home.

The main entrance to the Zeng family clinic was mostly closed, with only the two middle doors left open. Light was shining through from inside, so Uncle should still be on the first floor.

There was a new electric scooter parked at the entrance. It looked familiar to her; it seemed to be the one Zhan Yue had just ridden.

Sure enough, she heard Zhan Yue's voice coming from inside.

He was saying something that made her second uncle and aunt laugh, and they seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Zeng Xiaoya did not bring her electric scooter into the house. Usually, her electric scooter is locked at the entrance of the clinic, where there are surveillance cameras, so no one usually comes to steal her scooter.

After locking the padlock, she went inside, waving her handbag.

As soon as I went in, I asked, "What are you talking about? You seem to be having a great time. I could hear your laughter from outside."

"Zhan Yue was telling a joke that made us laugh so hard that tears came to my eyes."

My aunt answered with a smile, and even raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye, as if she was really laughing so hard that she cried.

"What joke is it? Tell me about it so I can have a laugh too."

Zeng Xiaoya walked over and sat down at her second uncle's tea table. Her second uncle asked her if she wanted some tea, but she shook her head and said no.

"I'll have Zhan Yue tell you when he has time. He said he ran into you on the street, but you were already home from get off work."

The second aunt asked her niece.

"Yeah, I came back after get off work at eight o'clock. I had an appointment with Senior Lin, so I didn't go home right away."

Hearing her say that, her second uncle and aunt exchanged a glance, and then her aunt's smile faded as she asked with concern, "Xiaoya, have you and your senior Lin decided to give it a try?"

"Second Aunt, what are you thinking? I only see him as a senior, as an older brother. There are no romantic feelings between us. He said he wanted to talk to me in person, so we did."

"I've told him countless times what I should and shouldn't have said, but I don't know if he'll listen this time."

Zeng Xiaoya sighed, "I really don't want to hurt Senior Lin."

Auntie said, "We know you don't want to hurt him, but as long as you're still single, he won't give up and will continue to pursue you. He probably thinks he hasn't been pursuing you for very long."

"So if you don't accept him, but he persists, maybe you'll eventually agree to be with him."

"Xiaoya, it's time for you to start dating again. You're not young anymore. When we were your age, we already had two kids. Unlike you, who are almost thirty and still single."

Zeng Xiaoya laughed and said, "Times are progressing, how can we impose the ideas of one generation on the heads of future generations?"

"It's not that I don't want to fall in love again, it's just that I haven't met the right person yet. Where am I supposed to find a boyfriend so that Senior Lin can give up on me?"

It's not like buying groceries, which you can just go to the market to buy.
