539: Chapter 538 Where did it go so fast?
The Lin Xia and Lu Zheng ntioned by others had indeed overslept, just as Song Zhiya had predicted!
The two of them both got up late, and by the ti they woke up, it was almost eight o’clock.
Luckily, there were people at ho, so picking up goods from the greenhouse wouldn’t be delayed.
But the makeup store needed to be opened right away.
As Lu Zheng was quickly putting on his clothes, he said, “Wife!
You keep sleeping!
I’ll go open the store!”
He had indeed worn out his wife last night.
Seeing her now with a face full of fatigue and her eyes half-closed, how could he bear to make her climb out of the warm bed and endure the cold outside?
Lin Xia was really too sore and painful to want to move, and she replied with a slightly hoarse voice, “Okay!
Then you go!
I’m so sleepy!”
They had really gone crazy last night, and now she felt utterly weak.
It would take her a long ti to get ready and slowly make her way out.
Her man was at ho now, when else if not this ti to rely on him?
Lu Zheng tenderly kissed Lin Xia’s forehead, “Wife!
Sleep”
“Hmm!
Dress warmly!” Lin Xia instructed him.
“Don’t worry!” Lu Zheng, before leaving, did not forget to carefully tuck the corners of the blanket around Lin Xia.
Hearing the sound of Lu Zheng closing the door and leaving, Lin Xia closed her eyes and comfortably continued to snuggle in the blanket to catch up on her sleep…
When Lin Xia woke up again, she was startled by a “knock knock knock” at the door.
She sat up in surprise.
Lu Zheng should have taken the keys when he left.
The person knocking on the door shouldn’t be him, but who could it be?
Lin Xia put on her shoes and got off the bed, walking cautiously to the door and asking, “Who is it?”
“Lin Xia!
It’s your auntie!” ca the gentle voice of Luo Xinyan from outside the door.
Lin Xia couldn’t help but smile, and hurriedly opened the door.
Standing at the door was Luo Xinyan, looking radiant, holding a cloth bag that probably contained food.
With a surprised smile, Lin Xia asked, “Auntie!
How did you know I was ho?
Co in!”
Luo Xinyan followed her inside and said with a beaming smile, “I ran into Lu Zheng downstairs, and when I asked, I found out you were ho!”
The day of the wedding, Lu Zheng greeting her in front of so many people didn’t really count; today’s encounter was actually their first private eting.
She hadn’t expected Lu Zheng to greet her casually and warmly as if nothing was wrong, calling her auntie just like Lin Xia did.
If the young man could make that gesture, what more could she fuss over!
Besides, she was now married to Song Yinran, and they were living quite happily.
As for everything related to Lu Pengcheng, she had let go.
The past was just that, the past—let it return to dust!
Lin Xia really had not expected such a situation, after all, the relationship between Lu Zheng and Luo Xinyan was there for everyone to see, but Lu Zheng being able to interact with Luo Xinyan naturally was certainly what she hoped for.
Lin Xia hid her astonishnt and guided Luo Xinyan to sit on the living room sofa, “Auntie!
Please have a seat!”
“Okay!
Lin Xia!
I went back ho and picked up so freshly stead buns this morning, thinking of bringing so over for you!
Did you not have breakfast yet?”
Lin Xia rubbed her stomach, “Exactly!
I’m starving!”
Luo Xinyan treated Lin Xia like her own daughter, urging her directly, “Lin Xia!
I’m not an outsider!
If you’re hungry, go wash your hands and eat while it’s hot!”
Lin Xia didn’t stand on ceremony with her.
She deftly went to the restroom to wash her hands, then took a plump bun from the opened bag and bit into it, “Mmm!
It’s pickled cabbage and pork!
Delicious!”
She marveled; Luo Xinyan’s cooking skills were unquestionably impeccable—the thin skin, generous filling, and a bite that filled the mouth with savory oil.
“Eat more if it’s tasty!” Seeing Lin Xia’s sleepy eyes, Luo Xinyan guessed she had just woken up.
Examining her complexion further, Luo Xinyan, who had been through it all, had an even brighter smile around her lips.
Lin Xia devoured a bun in a few bites, wiped her hands, and didn’t eat anymore.
She casually asked, “Auntie!
I haven’t seen you these past few days; is everything alright with you all?
Did my uncle ntion when he’ll be back?”
After returning from the provincial city where they had their wedding, they hadn’t had the chance to visit Luo Xinyan and her family.
Since her return, Song Zhiya had been staying directly at her house.
“Everything’s fine!
He said he would be back in a while!” Luo Xinyan’s face radiated happiness, “Lin Xia!
I ca to tell you so great news!
I just found out yesterday!
If I hadn’t run into Lu Zheng today, I would have gone over to your place!”
“What good news?” Lin Xia had a vague hunch, but she didn’t dare to blurt it out.
What if she guessed wrong?
Wouldn’t that be a false alarm?
Luo Xinyan’s tone was utterly joyful, “Luo Yue is pregnant!”
Her daughter Luo Yue being pregnant ant the big rock hanging in her heart had finally settled down.
Otherwise, if it took a few years to conceive after getting married, wouldn’t that be maddening?
“Ah!
Really!
That’s wonderful!
Ha ha!” Lin Xia was so happy she almost danced for joy.
Her aunt had confided in her quietly a while back, wondering how Yu Hongli and Luo Yue, who had been married for a while, were still without any news.
Was it because the woman was older and had more difficulty conceiving?
To tell the truth, she had been quite anxious for the couple.
Now that there was good news, it was a joy for everyone!
Luo Xinyan laughed, “Yes!
I was worried, too, but I didn’t dare to ntion it in front of your brother and her to avoid pressuring them!
Now it’s all good!
He said he’ll tell your aunt personally when he goes back.
I guess they will all believe the news later this evening!”
Both were overjoyed about Luo Yue’s pregnancy, unable to contain their excitent as they chatted.
When Lu Zheng returned, he heard laughter coming from inside the apartnt the mont he reached his floor.
Upon opening the door and seeing Luo Xinyan sitting inside, he quickly greeted her with a smile, “Auntie has co!”
He felt sowhat uncomfortable around Luo Xinyan; after all, she was his father’s first love and Luo Yue’s mother, which made their relationship exceedingly intricate.
But since Luo Xinyan was now married to Lin Xia’s uncle and they lived in the buildings in front and behind each other, eting and interacting would happen frequently, so he obviously had to say hello when seeing her.
Lu Zheng didn’t co back empty-handed; he brought so buns and porridge as well.
Lin Xia laughed lightly, “You bought buns, too?
Auntie specially delivered so to us this morning, freshly made!”
Seeing Lu Zheng return, Luo Xinyan felt it was inappropriate to stay any longer, so she got up to leave.
After seeing her off, Lu Zheng then asked, “What were you just talking about?
You seed so happy.” He opened the door to find Lin Xia and Luo Xinyan in such an intimate appearance, almost like mother and daughter.
At that mont, a thought flashed through his mind; Lin Xia seed more comfortable with Luo Xinyan than with his own mother.
Lin Xia’s face lit up with a smile again, “Sister Luo Yue is pregnant!”
This news was too delightful and joyful; she couldn’t help thinking about herself and Lu Zheng.
Ever since they got married, they had been together constantly, and she wondered if she could get pregnant as well.
