“You went out to have fun, what about me?”
Second Uncle could not help saying, “Leaving me alone at home?”
“I have not been to a chrysanthemum exhibition for many years either, nor have I gone on an autumn outing.”
They spent every day minding the clinic, and the couple had not gone travelling for a long time.
Sometimes they wanted to close the clinic door and just go out to play, but before they had gone far, someone they knew would call him and ask him to come back to treat them.
So, the couple really had not travelled for several years.
Only during the few days around New Year could they go on a self-driving tour in the city, but during New Year, every attraction was packed with people. They could see nothing of the scenery, only heads.
They could not experience the joy of travel, and instead ended up exhausted.
Later, the couple preferred to stay home watching TV rather than go out during the New Year period.
Second Aunt smiled and said, “You stay home and watch the clinic then. Next time you go, and I will stay home to mind it. We can take turns going out to relax.”
Second Uncle: “…… No, that will not do. I want to go with you. We have not relaxed together for a long time. Xiaoya, when you go on the autumn outing, let Second Uncle know.”
“Second Uncle will close for a day, then put the phone on silent and not answer any calls about seeing patients that day.”
Let them go to the hospital or the Lin family clinic.
He needed a rest too.
Mainly, he wanted to interact closely with the elders of the Zhan family and see if they were really as open-minded and easy to get along with as rumoured.
This concerned his niece’s happiness.
“Xiaoya, I heard that Doctor Lin’s parents have come. You know that, right?”
Second Aunt suddenly asked.
She had a deep impression of Father and Mother Lin. They had been here, and it felt as if they were coming to assess their family.
Second Aunt did not look down on Doctor Lin, but she really did not like his original family.
“I know. They said they arrived last night. Senior Lin did not know they were coming. He only found out when he got home last night.”
Zeng Xiaoya said casually, “Senior Lin’s mother has high blood sugar. Every so often she has to come to the city for a check-up and pick up more medicine to take home.”
After Senior Lin opened his clinic, his mother got her medicine from there.
But check-ups still had to be done at the hospital.
“Today he and He Yuehua took his parents out shopping, then in the afternoon they went to the seaside. He even called me just now.”
“Why did he call you?”
Hearing that Doctor Lin and He Yuehua had taken his parents to the seaside together, Second Uncle felt a bit embarrassed. In his heart, he still favoured Doctor Lin more. Sometimes the couple would even argue a little over whom their niece should choose.
He had not expected that while Doctor Lin was pursuing Xiaoya, he was also ambiguous with He Yuehua.
He Yuehua’s feelings for Doctor Lin were obvious to everyone.
Doctor Lin did not accept her affection, yet he accepted her attentive care. Every time his parents came to the city, it was He Yuehua who accompanied them.
Second Uncle sighed inwardly.
Perhaps his wife was right.
Zhan Yue might be more suitable for Xiaoya.
At least Zhan Yue would not have two boats, he was single-minded towards Xiaoya, with no backup.
“He somehow found out clearly and learned Zhan Yue’s true identity. Then he called me, saying I had been deceived by Zhan Yue, that Zhan Yue was a big liar, that Zhan Yue is the young master of the wealthiest family, and the gap between our realities is too big.”
“He said Zhan Yue is just after novelty, only playing with me, and told me not to trust Zhan Yue.”
Zeng Xiaoya said helplessly, “I told Senior Lin that what is between him and me has nothing to do with Zhan Yue. He always drags Zhan Yue into it.”
“I knew Zhan Yue’s true identity from the very first time I met him.”
