Stars In His Eyes-Chapter 1810: Sincerely Treating Each Other
At this moment, unaware of Little Tuanyuan’s plan, Chen Ning and He Da are in He Da’s office. Besides them, there are Lin Deng and a nurse.
The nurse and He Dongxue are from the same hospital and the same cohort. However, after interning for a year at the General Military Hospital, He Dongxue returned to school to pursue further studies and eventually became a medical doctor, whereas the nurse remained at the General Military Hospital and has been working there ever since.
Over the years, Lin Deng and He Da have been regularly going for check-ups at the General Military Hospital, and this nurse has been Lin Deng’s personal nurse for quite a while, so over time, they have become familiar with each other.
Lin Deng knew that He Da accompanied Chen Ning back to the south to meet Chen Ning’s parents. Upon hearing the news of Chen Ning and He Da getting engaged in the south, he was somewhat surprised but immediately offered his congratulations.
"I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly; I always heard Chen Shan say that Chen Ning’s parents were hard to deal with. I worried you’d have a tough time during this visit, yet unexpectedly, Uncle and Auntie agreed so simply, without any drama to witness!" Lin Deng said with a hint of regret, continuing, "I thought I’d see you come back looking all downcast, seeking advice from me on how to win over your future in-laws."
"Hmph! Like you have much experience. You only dated Jiang..." Chen Ning almost blurted out the name but stopped just in time.
She looked at Lin Deng with some annoyance, seeing that his expression indeed turned slightly stiff, and quickly added, "Lin Deng, I’m just talking nonsense. Don’t take it to heart!"
Now that Jiang Biyun is married, Chen Ning really wanted to slap herself; how could she not learn to keep her mouth shut, always bringing up sensitive topics.
"It’s no big deal, not a taboo subject." After a few seconds, Lin Deng’s face relaxed, shaking his head, "It’s been years. Back then, I wronged her. But now that she’s married, I’ve heard her husband treats her well, she has a harmonious family, and her parents-in-law are sensible. Having once loved her, knowing she’s doing well now, I feel at ease."
While saying these words, Lin Deng’s lips still carried a smile. If one weren’t truly familiar with him, they might really be deceived into believing he had genuinely let go, as he claimed.
He Da looked thoughtfully at the girl standing behind Lin Deng, sighing lightly in his heart. Fate, sometimes, really likes to play tricks on people.
She loves him, he abandoned her, and after she lets go, he refuses to let go.
She loves him, yet he stubbornly doesn’t love her.
"Yes, it’s been so many years. Is there anything one can’t let go of?" The girl beside Lin Deng suddenly spoke, seemingly just making an offhand remark, before swiftly changing the topic to ask about He Da and Chen Ning’s wedding date, "Have you set a date for your wedding? Would you like me to be a bridesmaid?"
This last question was naturally directed at Chen Ning.
Chen Ning agreed without hesitation, "He Da and I have long decided; Lin Deng will be the groomsman, and you’ll be my bridesmaid! We won’t look elsewhere! You two are convenient, familiar, and easy to manage!"
"Me? The groomsman?" Lin Deng was taken aback, shaking his head repeatedly, "I think it’s better if Ye Zi is your bridesmaid instead." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The Ye Zi in Lin Deng’s words is naturally the girl beside him. Knowing each other for many years, they’ve gotten used to calling her by her nickname, Ye Zi.
Everyone could see that Lin Deng’s refusal was sincere, not just formal politeness.
Indeed, being familiar with one another, who would still bother with such formal niceties?
Lately, due to changes in weather, Lin Deng’s wounds were causing him unbearable pain, keeping him in a wheelchair. He couldn’t even imagine a groomsman sitting in a wheelchair at a wedding, could he?
