Huang Lei felt that he had missed an opportunity, and now God had finally given him a second chance that was rare in a thousand years. He could not miss it again and must grasp it firmly. Besides, Captain Cheng also blessed them from the bottom of his heart and hoped that he could take good care of Xinyi, so what else did he have to worry about?
"Doctor Zhao, Xinyi and I have something to say. Can you go back to the hospital first?" Huang Lei suddenly spoke after dinner.
Zhao Yuenan glanced at Zheng Xinyi and responded with a smile: "Xinyi, I'll be leaving first. Don't be late, both of you!"
"Okay." Zheng Xinyi responded with a smile.
After Zhao Yuenan left, Zheng Xinyi glanced at Huang Lei and asked seriously, "Tell me! What do you want from me?"
"Xinyi, I feel like I can't deceive myself anymore. In the past, you had Captain Cheng. I saw how well he treated you and how he cared for you. I knew you were happy, so I didn't have the heart to disturb your life, nor would I destroy your happiness. I could only care about you silently in my heart. But now it's different. You and Captain Cheng are divorced. You are no longer someone else's wife. You are a free person. I don't want to protect you silently anymore. I want to care about you openly." Huang Lei mustered up the courage and expressed his inner thoughts in one breath.
"Huang Lei, you and Dr. Zhao are engaged. She is your fiancée now, and she is the one you should protect." Zheng Xinyi responded seriously.
"Xinyi, I have liked you since the first time we met. Later, you married Captain Cheng, and I had to hide these feelings in my heart. But now it's different. I don't want to hide these feelings in my heart anymore. I want to pursue you formally." Huang Lei said from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, Zhao Yuenan didn't go far. She hid not far away just to listen to what Huang Lei wanted to talk about with Zheng Xinyi. Although Zhao Yuenan already knew what was going on, she still felt sad when she heard Huang Lei say these words.
"Huang Lei, I've never wanted to break the window paper between us, but now that things have come to this, I have to say something." Zheng Xinyi sighed softly and said solemnly, "Huang Lei, from the beginning until now, I have always regarded you as my best friend, even a friend with whom I can talk about anything. I have never had any romantic feelings for you, not now, and not in the future."
"Xinyi, if you are afraid of being divorced or of Captain Cheng, it doesn't matter at all. I don't care whether you are divorced or not. A few days ago, Captain Cheng told me in person that he hopes I can take good care of you. As for Dr. Zhao, she has known my thoughts for a long time and will definitely understand us." Huang Lei said from the bottom of his heart.
"Huang Lei, why don't you understand? It's impossible between us, not because of anyone, but because I don't like you and have no feelings for you, do you understand?" Zheng Xinyi didn't want to say it so bluntly, but he forced her to say these hurtful words.
Huang Lei was completely stunned. He took a few unsteady steps back and replied weakly, "I understand. I'm sorry to bother you."
Zheng Xinyi looked at his back as he turned and left silently, feeling indescribably sad. In fact, she didn't want to hurt him, but reality was so cruel.
