“Good, thank you. You have thought of everything.”
Dr Lin had not even considered booking a hotel in advance. He had planned to look for one only after they were tired from playing.
He Yuehua was indeed more thoughtful.
What his parents said was right. When he was with He Yuehua, she considered everything thoroughly. He did not need to worry about anything. She treated his parents even better than her own.
Xiaoya did not love him. She never took the initiative to visit his parents, let alone care for them or accompany them on outings.
Not to mention his parents, even towards him, Xiaoya did not care for him, show concern, or accept everything about him the way Yuehua did.
Because Xiaoya simply did not love him. In her eyes, he was just her senior, and she had plenty of seniors. He held no special place in her view.
Perhaps this was the difference between being loved and not being loved.
He Yuehua loved him. Her heart and eyes were full of him. She tolerated everything about him, looked after him, and was extremely good to his parents.
Xiaoya did not love him, so she would not behave like He Yuehua.
Dr Lin had made a decision in his heart.
But when he thought about the family backgrounds of the two girls, he hesitated again. He would still keep the promise he made to his parents. If, after six months, he could not win Xiaoya, he would be with He Yuehua.
They had worked together for many years and knew each other inside out.
If they married, they should be able to find happiness.
“Every time we go out, as long as Yuehua is with us, we do not need to think about anything. Yuehua arranges everything. Yuehua, you are so considerate and thorough. In the future, with you looking after our A Jian, we two old folks back home can rest easy.”
“If there is no one like you by his side, we would worry. He is inarticulate and does not say sweet words, but once he marries, he will take responsibility for the family. No man in our Lin family has ever cheated.”
“Mum.”
Dr Lin called to his mother. “Yuehua and I have not reached that stage yet.”
Mother Lin smiled broadly. “It is only a matter of time.”
He Yuehua said with a smile, “Auntie, I like Dr Lin and want the best for him, so naturally I will take good care of him. Whether he will marry me is still unknown.”
They had shared a bed for one night. If he dared not marry her, she would not let him off easily.
In any case, Dr Zeng knew about her and Dr Lin. Dr Zeng could never accept Dr Lin’s feelings again. Moreover, she had won over Father Lin and Mother Lin, making the elders like her more and more.
He Yuehua was confident that, in the end, the one who would marry Dr Lin would definitely be her.
Her goal was to become the lady boss of the Lin family clinic. In the future, just like Second Uncle Zeng and Second Aunt Zeng, the couple would run the Lin family clinic together, one as the doctor and one as the nurse.
She worked quickly. In the future, she alone would be enough as a nurse. The current nurse could be dismissed, which would save one person’s salary.
“Mum, we are out to have fun. Do not talk about those things.”
Dr Lin did not want to discuss his future with He Yuehua at this moment.
He was still entangled.
Mother Lin responded somewhat unhappily and changed the subject.
The family went to the seaside and had a good time.
That evening, after the family checked into the hotel that He Yuehua had booked in advance, Dr Lin received a phone call from an acquaintance who owned a shop. The person told him that, on Wansheng Street, apart from a few properties, all the other shops belonged to the wealthiest Zhan family.
Among the few that did not belong to the Zhan family was the Zeng family clinic.
