The coffee and fruit juice they ordered were served.
Doctor Lin ignored that the coffee was still scalding hot, lifted the cup and drank it, using it to hide his emotions.
After saying so much, Zhan Yue did not want to say anything more. It was enough that Doctor Lin understood the real reason.
It was not because he, this rival, appeared that Doctor Lin failed. Even without his appearance, Doctor Lin would not have been able to win Xiaoya. Xiaoya was a clear headed person.
She came from a good family and had her own ability, she was different from Miss He.
He Yuehua chose Doctor Lin, firstly because she truly liked him, and secondly because of his ability. If Doctor Lin did not have the ability to earn money, Miss He might not have chosen him either.
Miss He’s original family was somewhat similar to Doctor Lin’s.
After drinking half a cup of coffee, Doctor Lin said softly, “I know where I lost. Before, I really thought that I was not as handsome as you and not as rich as you, so I lost to you.”
“It was only after my parents came that I slowly understood. My father did not say bad things about Xiaoya, he only talked about living an ordinary life, saying that Yuehua was more suitable for me.”
“He said Xiaoya’s work is too busy and her family background is good, so she would not be like Yuehua, washing clothes and cooking for me, taking care of me in every detail. He said that if I were with Xiaoya, I would need to give more.”
Doctor Lin sighed. “I admit my parents are selfish and only think for my sake, but what parents are not like that, all thinking for their own child?”
“My mum said even more…” Doctor Lin paused. “Mr Zhan, I did not come to see you tonight to say all this. I know I have no hope. Even if you have not confessed to Xiaoya yet, you may not necessarily marry her.”
“But I know that once you confess, your chances of winning Xiaoya are much higher than mine. In the end, the one who holds the beauty in his arms may still be you.”
“I want to ask you, are you sincere towards Xiaoya? Have you thought about the real life gap between the two of you? Does your family agree to you being with Xiaoya?”
Doctor Lin continued, “I have known Xiaoya for so many years. Even if we cannot become husband and wife, we are still senior and junior. I hope her future will be truly happy.”
“I hope she marries a man who truly loves her and accepts everything about her.”
“Xiaoya’s work is very busy. You and I both know that. In the future, she may really not have much time to devote to the family, so she needs to find a man who is willing to contribute to the family.”
“Or a man who does not need her to manage all the big and small household matters. You are rich and have many servants at home. If she marries you, she will be a young madam, not needing to handle household matters, and can focus on her work.”
“Your conditions suit her very well, and you are very good looking. In fact, whether male or female, people still look at faces. Handsome men and beautiful women are pleasing to the eye.”
“If Mr Zhan truly loves Xiaoya and can promise to treat only Xiaoya well for the rest of your life, then I will withdraw from the competition and bless you and Xiaoya.”
“But if Mr Zhan is only seeking novelty, just playing around, unwilling to take responsibility, or if you cherish her after winning her but then discard her casually, then I will still compete with you to the end.”
Doctor Lin’s words were spoken with genuine sincerity.
Handing over the girl he had loved for several years was more painful than killing him.
But he could see the situation clearly. He knew he had no advantage, and he knew Xiaoya’s heart was not with him.
Even if he pursued her for several more years, Xiaoya would still not love him.
His parents were urging him urgently. His age indeed was not suitable for waiting any longer, and he also did not have the determination to remain unmarried for life for Xiaoya, so he could only withdraw.
To fulfil Zhan Yue and Xiaoya, as long as Zhan Yue was sincere towards Xiaoya.
Zhan Yue said, “I am absolutely sincere towards Xiaoya. I am very devoted when it comes to relationships. Doctor Lin should have heard that the men of my Zhan family are faithful in love and marriage from beginning to end.”
“Once a man of the Zhan family gives his heart, it is for a lifetime.”
“My elders at home are very open minded. They will not interfere. As long as we like each other, they will accept the person we like and respect our decision.”
His parents had met Zeng Xiaoya today, and it was clear that they were very satisfied with her.
