483: Chapter 482: Thank You for His Fondness 483: Chapter 482: Thank You for His Fondness Lin Xia went to Luo Xinyan’s house that evening.
When she arrived, Luo Xinyan and Luo Yue were sitting in the living room watching TV after dinner.
They were all surprised by Lin Xia’s sudden visit.
Luo Yue and her daughter both stood up, “Lin Xia is here!”
Yu Hongli asked, “Lin Xia, why did you co so late, aren’t you afraid of the dark slippery roads?”
Lin Xia looked at the slightly fatter Yu Hongli and Luo Yue, who had a happy expression of a content woman, thinking that the couple seed to be living quite comfortably after their marriage!
“Aunt!
Brother Hongli, sister-in-law!
I was just strolling around and thought I’d co over for a visit!
Have you finished dinner?”
Lin Xia’s calling her ‘sister-in-law’ made Luo Yue blush.
“We’ve finished!”
Lin Xia then turned directly to Luo Xinyan, “Aunt!
I ca to have a chat with you!”
It was cold now, and she didn’t want to delay for too long.
Luo Xinyan was taken aback.
She imdiately thought of the day’s events and wondered if soone had ntioned anything to her.
Could it be that Lin Xia was here to diate?
“Okay!” She took Lin Xia to her room.
Luo Yue glanced at Yu Hongli and whispered, “What is your sister talking to my mom about?
Didn’t she help at her place during the day?
What can’t be said there that they must co to our house?”
She was utterly confused and found it very strange.
Yu Hongli was also sowhat bewildered, “Who knows!
It must be sothing important, I guess?
I’ll find a chance to ask later!”
“Okay!” Luo Yue continued watching TV with her arms crossed, but her ears were keenly listening to any sound from the Eastern House.
In the Eastern House, Luo Xinyan invited Lin Xia to sit and poured her a cup of hot water to warm her up.
“Lin Xia!
You must have sothing to discuss, right?” Luo Xinyan sat on the edge of the kang, looking at Lin Xia who was holding the cup in both hands.
Lin Xia put down the cup and sincerely said, “Aunt!
I ca here to apologize!
I’m sorry!
It’s all my fault!
The other day, Wang Lan from the store across the street asked about your relationship with .
I told her you were my cousin’s mother-in-law.
She also asked about your husband; I said he had passed away…
Unexpectedly, she spoke quickly to the neighbors about your situation, which led people to seek her out for matchmaking, and that’s why she ca looking for you today!
I feel really sorry, it’s all my fault…”
If she hadn’t said anything, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Luo Xinyan placed her hand on Lin Xia’s shoulder, gently tapping it twice, and said kindly, “Silly girl!
That’s nothing!
It’s normal for neighbors to ask about you, and you can’t just ignore their questions, which might lead to even more gossip behind your back.
It’s not your fault!
Don’t take it to heart!
Besides, I flatly refused her, so it’s nothing!”
Luo Xinyan had actually thought about it before; the people across must have known about her marital status from Lin Xia, but she didn’t bla her.
If Lin Xia had been evasive and hesitant, it would have only aroused more curiosity and led to more rumors.
Seeing Luo Xinyan’s generous reaction, Lin Xia felt even worse.
She grasped Luo Xinyan’s hand, “Aunt!
I don’t even know what to say!
It was you who were helping , yet this happened.
I just feel so guilty!”
“Lin Xia!
Don’t think like that!
Really, it’s nothing!”
As they talked, holding hands, both felt their relationship had beco closer.
Lin Xia hadn’t forgotten her main purpose for coming.
Seeing Luo Xinyan’s calm face and smiling lips, she asked, “Aunt!
What do you think about my Uncle?
I don’t want to beat around the bush; it’s better to be straightforward.”
Luo Xinyan suddenly felt her face heat up, she looked at Lin Xia and asked softly, “Lin Xia!
What is this…”
She had never expected that Lin Xia would suddenly ask this.
For a mont, her previously calm heart felt as if several small stones had been cast into it.
“My uncle likes you, he asked to see how you feel about it!” Lin Xia had thought a lot before coming.
Luo Xinyan, although having had a relationship with Lu Pengcheng, had suffered a lot of damage and pain from it, which even ruined her life.
If Luo Xinyan could find a man who cherishes and protects her in her lifeti, it would also an she could have a happy life in her old age.
A companion to grow old together is sothing even the most filial children cannot provide!
Song Yinran seed good from every aspect, she felt that Luo Xinyan must have so feelings for Song Yinran.
If both parties were interested in each other, why not try to be together?
Thus, Lin Xia didn’t mind being the one to pierce through this layer of window paper!
Luo Xinyan clenched her fists tightly, forcing herself to calm down.
In fact, she had sensed sothing different from Song Yinran.
Especially today, the way he spoke during dinner and the way his eyes occasionally glanced at her, and later, when he took the tape asure from her hand to asure a male custor’s chest, each act was extraordinary.
She dared not delve deeper, but she also understood that Song Yinran was indeed a good man, but she was no longer young, she had reached this age…
Lin Xia watched as Luo Xinyan’s expressions changed continuously and finally returned to calm.
Luo Xinyan spoke, her eyes showing determination, “Lin Xia!
I appreciate his affection!
But I have no intention of finding soone!
You know my situation best…
When tis were so tough, I never thought about finding a man to marry!
Now that Yueyue is married, I’m even less likely to think about these things!
I’m just looking forward to becoming a grandmother soon, helping your brother and his family look after the children…”
Although Lin Xia was psychologically prepared that Luo Xinyan’s imdiate agreent was highly unlikely, such a resolute refusal made her couldn’t help but speak to persuade:
“Auntie!
Don’t reject it so quickly!
Think about it carefully again!
I really think my uncle is a good person!”
“Lin Xia!
I know you an well, your uncle indeed isn’t bad, but I really don’t want it!
Let’s pretend you never ntioned this…”
Lin Xia glanced at the ti and knew that rushing this matter wouldn’t achieve anything, so she stood up to say goodbye and left.
Upon leaving Eastern House, Yu Hongli, having been prompted by Luo Yue, had already put on his coat.
“Lin Xia!
It’s so late!
Let walk you ho!”
“No need!” Lin Xia quickly waved her hand refusing, as she hadn’t co alone.
Luo Xinyan insisted, “Still, let your brother walk you ho!
It’s so dark!
It’s safer for a young lady like you to have soone accompany you!”
“Well, alright then!” Lin Xia agreed reluctantly, hoping the person outside was on their toes.
Yu Hongli pushed the bicycle alongside Lin Xia, chatting as they exited the front gate.
Luo Xinyan and her daughter saw them off beyond the front gate.
Lin Xia carefully looked left and right and didn’t see anyone, so she finally relaxed.
Once the two were on the main road, he then asked, “Lin Xia!
What were you looking for my mother-in-law for?”
Lin Xia glanced at him, playfully teasing, “Brother Hongli!
So you’re not just seeing off, but also trying to snoop!”
