Zeng Xiaoya picked up the set of skincare products that Tang Junye had given her and handed it to her second aunt. She said, “This is a meeting gift from Zhan Yue’s eldest aunt. His mother also gave me the same meeting gift.”
“It is skincare. Second aunt, one set for each of us. I cannot use that much all by myself anyway.”
The second aunt refused at first. “They gave this meeting gift to you. You should keep it and use it slowly yourself. Second aunt is not short of skincare products. Besides, what they gave you is surely suitable for someone your age.”
“Second aunt is already at the level of an auntie. The skincare I use is different from what you young girls use.”
Zeng Xiaoya insisted that her second aunt take one set.
The second aunt could not refuse any longer, so she accepted it and smiled. “Then second aunt will not be polite with you. I will take it.”
“We are family, almost like mother and daughter. You have spent more time accompanying and taking care of me than my own mum has. In my heart, second aunt is the same as my mother. It is only right that I show some filial respect to second aunt.”
Besides, she really could not use that much skincare.
“What did Doctor Lin want to talk to Zhan Yue about outside?”
The second aunt asked with a bit of worry. “Doctor Lin would not bully Zhan Yue, would he?”
The second aunt’s heart was clearly biased towards Zhan Yue.
She really admired him and hoped her niece could marry him.
It was not because of Zhan Yue’s good family background, but because of the excellent family values in the Zhan family. Marrying into a family like that would truly be a blessing.
The men in the Zhan family were also devoted and loyal, unlike Doctor Lin, who was pursuing Xiaoya on one side while unable to let go of He Yuehua on the other. He kept He Yuehua as a backup, planning to marry her if he could not win Xiaoya.
The second aunt truly looked down on such a man.
Fortunately, Xiaoya did not love Doctor Lin. As long as Xiaoya did not love him, he would have no choice but to marry He Yuehua.
“Second aunt, do not worry. Zhan Yue knows martial arts. How could Senior Lin possibly bully him? It would be good enough if Zhan Yue does not bully Senior Lin.”
Zeng Xiaoya was not worried about Zhan Yue at all. She just felt sorry for him because, due to her, Senior Lin kept seeing Zhan Yue as a love rival and constantly caused him trouble.
“Right, I heard that the young masters of the Zhan family all know martial arts. The Zhan family really is a unique kind of wealthy household.”
“No wonder second aunt appreciates this young man. Xiaoya, now there is no one else around, just the two of us. Tell second aunt honestly. A man like Zhan Yue, do you like him or not?”
“Second aunt.”
Zeng Xiaoya said, “It is not about whether I like him or not. Love has to be mutual. Both sides have to like each other. If it is only one-sided admiration, it is very hard to have a result. Most of the time there is no result at all.”
Just like how Senior Lin admired her one-sidedly. She did not love him, so Senior Lin had no choice but to give up on her, and his heart would surely feel very painful.
Zeng Xiaoya had been abandoned by her first love and had suffered emotional wounds. She knew how truly hurtful love could be when it went wrong.
“Zhan Yue is very outstanding. He is handsome too, and he handles people and things with great grace. It is easy to fall for him. Sometimes I cannot even control my own heart, but then I have to tell myself not to overthink it.”
