659: Chapter 658: Taste if it’s Sweet 659: Chapter 658: Taste if it’s Sweet Yang Wanng’s attitude towards her grew even warr.
“Xiangzi!
What are you going to do later?”
ng Xiangzi masked the contempt in her eyes, and when she looked up again, she smiled coyly, “Nothing much!
I’ll go back to the guest house to rest a bit, and then prepare for tonight’s performance!”
Yang Wanng took ng Xiangzi to her ho for a short visit.
As the two chatted over tea, discussing trivial things, ng Xiangzi casually inquired, “Wanng, does everyone living in this apartnt building work in your husband’s departnt?”
The reason she followed Yang Wanng and strove to get on good terms with her was partly that but more importantly, to inquire about Lu Zheng.
Yang Wanng never suspected that ng Xiangzi’s purpose in getting close to her was because of Lu Zheng.
She smiled, “How could that be?
There are people from other departnts as well!”
She paused then continued, “However, quite a few families from my husband’s departnt do live in this building!
The Li family lives in the west apartnt below us, and the Lu family in the east one!”
ng Xiangzi’s eyebrows twitched slightly, hiding the joy in her eyes, and she elegantly set down the tea she hadn’t yet sipped, “That’s really great!
Being from the sa departnt and living so close, you can easily look after each other!”
Yang Wanng laughed, “Yes!
The two sister-in-laws take good care of !
Knowing I’m pregnant, they always bring over so delicious food they’ve made!”
Being newly acquainted with ng Xiangzi, she naturally wouldn’t reveal her true thoughts so easily.
Without much effort, ng Xiangzi learned that Lin Xia and Lu Zheng lived in the apartnt below.
Feeling her objective was t and ti was of the essence, she naturally did not wish to stay any longer.
She glanced at her watch and then made her excuses, “Wanng!
I’m sorry, but I must head back now!
Thank you for your hospitality!
I’ll co visit again when I have ti to chat!”
“Of course!
I’d love for you to visit whenever you’re free!” Yang Wanng felt she and ng Xiangzi could indeed beco good friends.
As they reached the door, Yang Wanng insisted on seeing ng Xiangzi out.
“Let walk you out!”
ng Xiangzi turned and softly said, “Please don’t bother!
You’re still pregnant, after all!
I can go down by myself!
Goodbye!”
“Alright then, goodbye!
Co over whenever you’re free!” Seeing ng Xiangzi’s insistence, Yang Wanng didn’t want to appear too obsequious.
However, she still watched ng Xiangzi descend one floor before she greeted her and entered her own ho.
When ng Xiangzi reached Lu Zheng’s door, she deliberately paused for a mont.
Looking at the closed door, a deep, complex look flashed across her eyes.
In her previous life, she had not lived here, and so she had never shared this apartnt building with Lu Zheng.
Naturally, she had never experienced what it was like to live day by day in such close companionship.
She couldn’t help wondering if she had given up her job back then and settled down here with Lu Zheng, whether the subsequent events would have been avoided.
Now that Lu Zheng had married Lin Xia, that woman was experiencing what she had missed, enjoying Lu Zheng’s deep affection and care.
This made her feel both envious and jealous, and mostly as if she had a fishbone stuck in her throat!
Just thinking about it made her involuntarily clench her fingers tightly, her eyes hardening with determination.
She had to make Lu Zheng fall in love with her faster, to separate him from his wife sooner!
Otherwise, once Lin Xia beca pregnant, it would beco even harder for her to have a chance…
As she lost herself in these thoughts, the door across the way suddenly opened.
It turned out Hao Xiaoyun had heard so noise and, thinking it was her son returning from his holiday outing, had opened the door.
But seeing no one in front of her own door, she spotted an attractive young woman standing at Lin Xia’s doorway.
She looked ng Xiangzi up and down curiously and asked, “Comrade!
Whom are you looking for?”
ng Xiangzi suppressed the leap of her heart, and imdiately put on a suitable smile, “I’m not looking for anyone!
I just visited Wanng’s place and was about to leave!”
“Oh!
A friend of hers!” Hao Xiaoyun subconsciously glanced in the direction of the upstairs.
“Yes!
Goodbye!” ng Xiangzi nodded to Hao Xiaoyun with a smile, then stepped down the stairs.
Hao Xiaoyun gazed after her disappearing figure and blinked repeatedly, always feeling that there was sothing odd about the way this woman moved.
Why would she stand at Lin Xia’s door?
However, hearing that she had co out of Yang Wanng’s place, she didn’t think much of it at the mont.
When Lin Xia got out of the car, she was carrying bags both large and small.
She ran into an acquaintance who kindly helped her, following her to deliver the items to her ho.
It wasn’t long before, as she was arranging the pork intestines, and pig liver and tails she had bought in the kitchen, the sound of a key turning echoed from the door.
After Lu Zheng entered the door, his eyes brightened upon seeing Lin Xia at ho, and his heart instantly settled.
He found that ever since Lin Xia had arrived, he always hoped to see her at ho every ti he returned.
If on the odd chance he didn’t see her at ho, he would feel that the place was cold and eerily empty.
“Wife!
You just got back?” Lu Zheng dropped the keys and entered the kitchen.
“Yeah!” Lin Xia washed her hands at the sink and turned to look at him, “Why are you back already?
Wasn’t the drama troupe supposed to co?”
She had heard people excitedly talking about this on the way.
“Old Li was there!” Lu Zheng glanced at the food Lin Xia had bought, all things he loved to eat.
Joy flickered in his eyes; his wife indeed cherished him!
“I ca back to see if you had gotten ho!
Wife!
Let’s go see the show after dinner, shall we?”
“Sure!” Lin Xia suggested, “Then let’s have sothing simple tonight, maybe so quick noodles with sauce, how about that?”
She didn’t want to ask if Ye Lin was visiting.
Whether Ye Lin was there or not, it wouldn’t matter to them and wouldn’t affect their relationship anymore.
Yet she didn’t know that a more terrifying rival in love had already arrived!
“Great!
Whatever you make, I love it!” Lu Zheng contentedly hugged Lin Xia from behind, inhaling her sweet scent.
Lin Xia felt inwardly sweet, yet chuckled and nudged him back with her arm, “Why are you so sweet today?
Have you had honey?”
Lu Zheng said with a mischievous smile, “Why don’t you taste and see?”
Lin Xia hurriedly dodged, “Ah!
Stop it!” She really feared he might leave so kiss marks, which would be embarrassing if seen by soone.
“I’m not fooling around!” Lu Zheng turned Lin Xia’s body to face him.
He purposefully puckered his lips, “Try and see if it’s sweet?”
Lin Xia was both amused and frustrated; sotis Lu Zheng was like a big kid who would not easily give up until he achieved his goal!
Lin Xia looked up into his deep dark eyes, which, along with tenderness, held anticipation; suppressing a laugh,
“Alright, then I’ll just taste!”
