Back at the Zeng family clinic, the main door was closed, but the lights were still on inside.


    Zeng Xiaoya said, “My second uncle and aunt should be having dinner upstairs. They’lle down and reopen the clinic after they finish eating, but there are usually not many patients at night.”


    Evenings are much easier than daytimes.


    Zeng Xiaoya got out of the car, unlocked the clinic door, and turned to Zhan Yue, who had just gotten out, saying, “It’s still early,e in and have a cup of tea.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “That’s exactly what I was thinking.”


    Zhan Yue helped her take the gifts he had received from the car.


    Zeng Xiaoya reopened the clinic door.


    She invited Zhan Yue to sit at the tea table where her second uncle usually drank tea, then boiled water, poured out the tea from the old teapot, and brewed fresh tea.


    “It’s still early, won’t drinking tea affect your sleep tonight?”


    “No, maybe it’s because I drink too much coffee and tea, but even if I drink tea at night, I can sleep like a log.”


    Zeng Xiaoyaughed, “I used to be unable to sleep all night after drinking a little tea, and now I’m almost the same as you.”


    “Xiaoya, you’re back.”


    Her second aunt came downstairs.


    The couple had just finished eating. Hearing the noise, the second aunt went downstairs first, while the second uncle was clearing the table.


    “Second Aunt,”


    Zhan Yue called out, getting up.


    The second aunt smiled and responded, and Zhan Yue sat back down.


    “Have you eaten?”


    the second aunt asked.”I’ve already eaten. I was nning toe back this afternoon, but Grandma Zhan insisted I stay for dinner, so I ate. Zhan Yue cooked all the dishes himself. Second Aunt, Zhan Yue’s cooking is excellent, even better than our housekeeper’s!”


    Zeng Xiaoya praised Zhan Yue to her second aunt.


    The second aunt’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Zhan Yue; her niece had truly struck gold.


    This man came from a good family, had a good temperament, was capable, and could even cook so well—truly a man who could grace the halls of society and excel in the kitchen.


    “Really? When can we try Zhan Yue’s cooking?”


    Zhan Yue immediately replied, “If Second Aunt and Second Uncle would be so kind as to invite me over anytime, I cane and show off my skills.”


    Knowing that the couple were busy with the clinic and couldn’t leave, Zhan Yue didn’t invite them to his house for dinner, but instead amodated them by cooking for them himself.


    Auntie smiled broadly, “Then we won’t stand on ceremony. Come over and show off your skills whenever you have time. Don’t worry, we won’t mind, and we won’t treat you like an outsider.”


    Zhan Yue agreed.


    Zeng Xiaoya watched her auntie’s cheerful smile and had a fleeting feeling that her auntie was about to sell her off.


    She must be overthinking it.


    Her auntie treated her like her own daughter. Since her uncle and auntie only had sons and no daughters, they were extremely kind to their nieces; how could they possibly sell her off?


    Hmm, she was overthinking it.


    “Xiaoya.”


    A sudden voice came, and theughter in the room stopped.


    Everyone looked at Dr. Lin as he walked in.


    Seeing her senior, Zeng Xiaoya couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.


    Could it be that Senior Lin still hadn’t given up?
