646: Chapter 645: Fragrant from Afar, Slly Up Close 646: Chapter 645: Fragrant from Afar, Slly Up Close Song Zhiya’s gaze was intense as she looked at Jiang Mingyuan, who seed hesitant to speak.
Even at this mont, he remained the sa captivatingly charming man in her eyes!
But this man didn’t love her or care for her that much; rather than waiting for him to break up with her, it would be better for her to take the initiative!
That way, at least she would be the one dumping him!
Perhaps that would make it not so unbearable, not so painful!
Tears welled up in her eyes as she finally mustered the courage, “Mingyuan, I’m calling you that for the last ti!
Let’s break up!”
Jiang Mingyuan looked steadily at her, his eyes changing rapidly in content.
He truly never expected Song Zhiya to be the one to initiate the breakup!
Actually, he wanted to talk to her…
However, he quickly regained his usual composure and even slightly curled up the corners of his lips, “Okay!”
…
When Lin Xia and the others arrived at her maternal grandfather Qin Zeming’s ho, they were warmly welcod by the whole family.
Besides Qin Zeming and his wife, Qin Ziheng’s entire family had also all rushed back ho.
The dining table was filled with laughter and happy conversation during alti.
Of course, the happiest were grandparents Qin Zeming and Li Yulan!
When Lin Xia and the others told them about their approximate arrival ti over the phone, the old couple got busy preparing everything so their visit would be comfortable and pleasant.
They could finally make up to their younger daughter for the deep sense of debt and guilt in their lifeti through her children, what a fortune…
Qin Zeming had arranged a good job for Lin Chun, which involved no danger.
If he perford well, there might even be a chance for promotion in the future.
Lin Xia was very happy about it!
She didn’t want her elder brother to do those dangerous jobs anymore, nor did she want to experience that heart-wrenching sadness again.
Lin Qiu also happily t up with Kang Yijun, who was just in town, for a date.
This was their first encounter after a long ti since the last one.
No matter how many sweet nothings one hears through the phone, it can’t compare to the thrilling sweetness of seeing the person and exchanging smiles in person.
Lin Xia stayed at Qin Zeming’s place for three days before she planned to leave and rush back to Spring City.
Ma Hao was waiting for her to return and take an inventory for the store transfer, so she couldn’t afford to delay too long here.
Besides, she wanted to handle these affairs quickly and reunite with her husband Lu Zheng to take good care of him!
Before leaving, she left money for Lin Chun and Lin Qiu separately.
And she especially gave Lin Qiu a large sum of money, telling her to keep it safe.
“Xiaoqiu, if you co across a suitable apartnt, just buy it!
This way, if you want to stay at grandpa’s house, you can, and if not, you can return to your own place.
I think the residential compound next to the big courtyard isn’t bad, and it’s close to grandpa’s!
But we’re new here, and I know it’s not easy to buy a house right away.
So no rush, take your ti to find one!”
Lin Xia understood that buying a house usually takes ti; even if they had the money now, they couldn’t just buy one on a whim.
Lin Qiu was sowhat puzzled and blinked before voicing her thoughts, “Sis, I think buying a house is optional!
If elder brother does well, maybe he’ll be allocated one at so point in the future!”
She said this and slightly shyly lowered her head, her voice much softer, “And if one day I get married…
then there’s no need to buy an apartnt, right…?”
Lin Xia smiled joyfully, playfully tugging at Lin Qiu’s braid.
Being able to see such a girlish shyness on her sister’s face was proof enough that she had finally stepped out of the shadows cast by Wu Zhengyang!
Therefore, Lin Xia could finally put her mind at ease.
“Silly girl!
Your big brother has just joined the company, and getting a housing allotnt will take ages.
Living at Grandpa’s house is only a temporary solution; having your own ho would be more convenient.
Besides, even if your big brother doesn’t end up needing the house, it’s still okay, think of it as an investnt…”
Lin Xia was well aware of the principle that too much familiarity can breed contempt!
Though they were related by blood, their affection for each other hadn’t reached the depth that cos with years of living together.
It was fine when they lived apart, but now that they saw each other daily, and with their uncle’s family constantly coming and going, Lin Xia felt it was best to maintain so reasonable distance.
Lin Qiu listened quietly until Lin Xia finished speaking and nodded in agreent, “Sister, you’re right!
I’ll definitely pay attention and look for sothing suitable as soon as possible!”
“Good!
There’s no rush, as long as you have an idea in mind!”
Lin Xia gently stroked her sister’s smooth, fair cheek, her young and tender skin seed to glisten with moisture, prompting her to once again emphasize with deep concern,
“Xiaoqiu!
Sister has to say one more thing, no matter how well you get along with Kang Yijun, you mustn’t do anything that would put you at a disadvantage before you’re married!”
She didn’t know whether her sister and Kang Yijun would end up as husband and wife; such things depended on fate and the will of heaven, but what she could do was remind her sister to take good care of herself.
That way, if one day they did part ways, she wouldn’t fall into a pit of pain and self-bla from which she couldn’t extract herself…
Lin Qiu’s entire face imdiately turned a deep red, and she nodded shyly, “Sister!
Don’t worry!
I definitely won’t!”
When she was dating Wu Zhengyang, it was because she heeded her sister’s advice that she didn’t suffer any losses.
It was sothing she was secretly grateful for afterward!
If she had really agreed to Wu Zhengyang in a mont of passion because she loved him,
Then she would have been even more pained and filled with hate.
Moreover, she might never have opened her heart to anyone again…
Lin Xia, after sitting through a long night on the train, finally arrived at her destination and got off.
Once ho, she checked the ti; because she had taken a sleeper berth, she didn’t feel overly tired or sleepy.
So she changed into a new set of clothes and took out the special local products she had brought back from Grandpa’s, heading downstairs first to Luo Xinyan’s place.
Luo Xinyan was ho alone when she heard the knock at the door.
She hesitated for a mont, unsure who it could be.
Upon hearing Lin Xia’s voice, she hurried to open the door.
Luo Xinyan’s face lit up with surprise, “Lin Xia!
You’re back so soon!
Co in quick!”
She had thought Lin Xia, after making the rare trip, would stay there for a while before returning.
Lin Xia couldn’t help but smile before speaking, “I was in a hurry, wan.ting to get the shop sorted out quickly so I could go to Lu Zheng’s place!”
“Right!
The sooner you get it done, the sooner it’s tidied up!
The sooner you’ll reunite!” Luo Xinyan asked, “Did you just get off the train?”
“Yes!
Just got off!
I delivered so things upstairs and then ca over here to bring you guys so local specialties!
Try so!”
As Luo Xinyan took them, she couldn’t help but chide her, “Why spend so much?
We’re not strangers!
Have you eaten yet?
If not, I’ll make you sothing!” As she spoke, she was about to head to the kitchen to cook for Lin Xia.
Lin Xia quickly grabbed her arm, “Aunt!
Please don’t fuss!
I ate on the dining car!”
Luo Xinyan was a bit skeptical, worried Lin Xia was just being polite, “Did you really eat already?
Don’t be shy, we have food ready at ho!”
Lin Xia quickly assured her, “I really did eat!”
