“Doctor Lin, you know full well that Doctor Zeng does not love you, so why bother?”
Yuehua said with heartache, “Can’t I take you home? Or are you afraid that if I take you home, I will eat you up?”
“Rest assured, I will wait until the day you accept me. I will not take advantage of you while you are drunk and sleep with you. I will not do such a thing.”
Doctor Lin’s face turned a little red.
It was as if Yuehua had hit the mark.
He knew that Yuehua loved him very much, just as he loved Zeng Xiaoya. He loved Zeng Xiaoya very, very much.
He felt that he and Zeng Xiaoya were a match made in heaven.
To be honest, the moment he met Zeng Xiaoya, he had planned to pursue her, but at that time she had a boyfriend.
He could not openly interfere and become the third party.
When Zeng Xiaoya’s boyfriend found someone better and dumped her, when the two broke up, he did not know how happy he was.
He was secretly delighted.
On the surface, however, he went to comfort Zeng Xiaoya and, in front of her, cursed her boyfriend mercilessly.
Over so many years, he had always been by her side caring for her, going to her home every day to make his presence felt. There was no one in her family who did not know him.
Even the people who often went to her second uncle’s place for treatment knew him.
His obvious intentions were known to everyone.
Yet, when he confessed, she rejected him, rejecting him again and again.
She said that if she did not love him, she did not love him. No matter how much he did, she would not love him.
Why?
Was he not good enough?
Or was he not good enough to her?
At a young age, he already had his own clinic. He had bought a flat and a car in the city centre and had some savings. He had already surpassed countless peers.
Many classmates were still struggling to build seniority in big hospitals.
He, however, had achieved financial freedom. Buying a flat and a car did not require help from his family. He had become the most successful child in his family. Relatives all praised his parents for raising such an outstanding son.
They no longer needed to worry about old-age care. Every month he transferred a sum of living expenses to his family, an amount that many people could not earn in a month.
He was so outstanding, yet Xiaoya still did not love him.
She must have fallen for that guy surnamed Zhan, the one who lived off others. Oh, he lived off his cousin and his cousin’s wife. He had never seen such a shameless person.
Others lived off their parents, but this Zhan fellow lived off his cousin and sister-in-law, and they were only distant cousins.
What use was it for such a man to be handsome?
Yet many people judged by appearance. When they saw a handsome man, they were completely enchanted and directly ignored his flaws.
“Yuehua, am I very ugly?”
Doctor Lin touched his face. “I am not as handsome as that guy surnamed Zhan. I do not know how that Zhan grew up. I suspect he had plastic surgery. How can a man look so good?”
“He is also tall, and his temperament is surprisingly good. Looking at him, one always feels he is successful in his career.”
“But he says he has no job, just helps his cousin’s wife collect rent. His cousin’s wife is indeed very rich, but that is his cousin’s wife. How can he have the face to live off her?”
Yuehua listened to his complaints and sat down beside him.
“Doctor Lin, matters of the heart cannot be forced. That Doctor Zeng does not like you is her affair. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Doctor Lin is very outstanding, but Doctor Zeng does not like you. You cannot force her, can you?”
“It is just like the two of us. I love you very much, yet you have rejected me. Actually, we are the ones who are well-matched. You are a doctor, I am a nurse. At work we are partners.”
“In life, if we became husband and wife, we would still support each other. How wonderful that would be.”
“Is it that I am not pretty enough, or that I am not good enough to you, or perhaps my work ability is too poor and you look down on me?”
“Why, then?”
Doctor Lin was speechless.
He did not dislike Yuehua, but he also did not like her enough to want to marry her.
He thought Yuehua was a bit of a doormat, always listening to her mother and giving the money she earned to her brothers to spend.
Although he had earned a lot of money, it was earned through his own hard work. It did not come from nowhere. How could he let his future wife take it to subsidise her natal family?
