Married at First Sight Chapter 5121
When it was time to leave work, Zeng Xiaoya got up, took off her work clothes, picked up her handbag, and said to He Yuehua, “Ms. He, let’s go, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
He Yuehua smiled and said, “Okay.”
The two had once been rivals in love—or rather, He Yuehua had unilaterally considered Zeng Xiaoya a rival.
Zeng Xiaoya had never loved Dr. Lin; she never saw He Yuehua as a rival.
On the contrary, she repeatedly tried to persuade Dr. Lin to accept He Yuehua, who truly loved him. The main reason was that Dr. Lin wasn’t without feelings for He Yuehua; if he truly had no feelings for her, Zeng Xiaoya wouldn’t have advised him.
She feared she might have created a resentful couple.
After leaving the hospital, He Yuehua said to Xiaoya, “Let’s go to a local restaurant not far from our two clinics. The food there is pretty good, all freshly made, not pre-cooked.”
Zeng Xiaoya replied, “You’re paying, so you decide. I’m the one who takes advantage, so I won’t say anything.”
“Dr. Zeng, don’t say that. What do you mean by taking advantage? I’m treating you to dinner to express my gratitude; you helped me before.” ”
I didn’t help you with anything. I was just telling the truth.”
She knew He Yuehua was referring to sharing a bed with Lin Xuechang.
Both of them rode electric scooters. After getting on, they stopped talking; there were too many people and vehicles on the road, making it inconvenient to chat side-by-side.
He Yuehua was in front, and Zeng Xiaoya was behind. She didn’t know where the local restaurant He Yuehua mentioned was.
Zeng Xiaoya always went home for dinner after work, unless she was having dinner with colleagues or Zhan Yue was treating her, in which case she would eat out.
Dongguan is such a big city, with countless restaurants of all sizes. She really didn’t know which restaurant had good food, or whether the dishes were freshly cooked or pre-made. The
journey from the hospital back to Zeng’s clinic wasn’t far, and the restaurant He Yuehua mentioned was close to both clinics. After riding for a few minutes, He Yuehua stopped in front of a restaurant.
Zeng Xiaoya saw that the restaurant’s name was simply “Local Cuisine Restaurant.”
After parking, He Yuehua turned to look at Zeng Xiaoya, and when Zeng Xiaoya approached and stopped, she said, “Dr. Zeng, this is the restaurant. Dr. Lin brought me here once, and I really thought it was quite good.”“Occasionally I’ll invite friends or colleagues here for dinner,”
she said. “Dr. Zeng, my income is limited, so I can only treat you to a regular restaurant.”
She couldn’t afford to take you to a five-star hotel like Zhan Yue could.
After parking the car, Zeng Xiaoya replied, “If you’re treating me to dinner, even if it’s just a takeout meal, I’ll be happy. I’m not picky.”
She never complained about being treated, regardless of the quality of the food; after all, it was someone else paying for her meal.
The two entered a local restaurant together.
The proprietress greeted them with a smile and asked He Yuehua, “Is it just the two of you?”
“Yes, just the two of you.”
The proprietress gestured for them to sit at a table and brought out the menu, handing it to He Yuehua.
He Yuehua didn’t open the menu but instead handed it to Zeng Xiaoya, letting her order.
“Miss He, you order. You’ve eaten here before, you know what’s good. I’m not picky, I’ll eat whatever you order.”
Since Zeng Xiaoya had said so, He Yuehua ordered herself.
She ordered two of the restaurant’s signature dishes, along with a vegetable dish and a soup.
Since it was just the two of them, she didn’t order too much.
Three dishes and a soup might have been a bit too much.
The proprietress brought them a pot of hot tea.
