676: Chapter 675: I’ll Hold You Both and Sleep for a While 676: Chapter 675: I’ll Hold You Both and Sleep for a While Lin Xia and Lu Zheng stepped aside to let Yang Wanng, the heavily pregnant woman, go downstairs first.
Yang Wanng tugged the corners of her mouth in a smile, “Sister-in-law!
Lu Gong!
Have you just co back from outside?”
Seeing Lin Xia and Lu Zheng holding hands intimately and with glowing faces, she felt sowhat surprised in her heart.
At this ti, Lu Zheng should be at work!
And this couple really isn’t considering the impression they’re making!
They don’t even keep a distance in front of an outsider like her!
Sticking so close together, as if afraid that no one would know how good their marital relationship is!
Lin Xia greeted her indifferently, “Yes!
Are you going out?”
Ever since the incident with ng Xiangzi, their impression of Yang Wanng had sowhat worsened.
But considering she was the wife of a colleague from the sa departnt, Lu Zheng didn’t say much.
Lin Xia also just maintained a nodding acquaintance with Yang Wanng, a relationship that was just amicable on the surface.
Moreover, they didn’t have any major issues with Yang Wanng, so if they could maintain such a relationship, it wouldn’t be bad.
After all, living upstairs and downstairs in the sa building and being from the sa departnt, it would be a joke to others if they beca too stiff with each other.
“Yes!
I’m going to sit at soone else’s place for a while!” Yang Wanng said as she went downstairs first.
Lin Xia and Lu Zheng exchanged a knowing smile, as Yang Wanng didn’t ask anything, and they didn’t feel it was right to bring up the pregnancy directly; she would find out soon enough anyway.
Yang Wanng looked up towards the upstairs as she reached the first floor, her mouth twitching slightly with dissatisfaction—she had always felt that Lin Xia was not worthy of Lu Zheng.
Really didn’t know what was so good about Lin Xia!
Lu Zheng treated her like a treasure!
In this residential building, none of the other residents were treasured and cared for by their n like Lin Xia was.
In her opinion, ng Xiangzi just t Lu Zheng too late!
Otherwise, with ng Xiangzi’s qualifications, she would definitely be a match for Lu Zheng!
But, it’s hard to say!
Lin Xia had not had children for a long ti, and it wasn’t a big deal now since they were newly married and the man’s enthusiasm for the woman hadn’t faded.
But wait another two or three years, if they still didn’t have children, she didn’t believe Lu Zheng could still be so good to Lin Xia!
Even if Lu Zheng didn’t change, his family wouldn’t just sit by!
So, the future was really hard to predict!
Yang Wanng pursed her lips, smiling as she left the building…
Lin Xia and Lu Zheng had no idea what Yang Wanng was thinking; the couple returned ho, still trying to process the fact that they were going to have a child.
Lu Zheng had encountered an acquaintance on the way and had asked them to request leave for him, so he did nothing that afternoon but wanted to spend quality ti with Lin Xia and their child!
Lin Xia was placed on the bed to lie flat by Lu Zheng, while he sat beside her, rubbing his hands warm, and cautiously touched her belly.
Lin Xia felt a bit ticklish and couldn’t help but laugh, asking, “Just pregnant!
What can you feel?”
Lu Zheng earnestly replied, “Life!!”
The couple seed to have flicked on the switch of joy and burst out laughing happily.
Lin Xia laughed until she was almost in tears.
As the laughter died down, her eyes flickered as she looked at Lu Zheng and seriously asked, “Xiaozheng, what if it’s a girl?”
She realized she was greedy!
Previously, when they had no children, she thought that no matter if it was a boy or a girl, as long as it was their child, she would love them!
But now that she was truly pregnant, she started to think about many things.
In Lu Zheng’s family, he was the only son, and she understood that his father, mother, and grandfather, whether they said it out loud or not, all hoped that Lu Zheng would have a son.
Especially since they could only have this one child.
If we were to have a second child, it would be considered over-quota and violate the family planning policy.
Lu Zheng affectionately leaned down and kissed the corner of her mouth, “Silly wife!
A daughter is great!
A daughter is our little cotton-padded jacket!
Actually, I prefer daughters!
What’s so good about naughty boys, always getting into fights and causing trouble?”
“But…” A worried look flashed in Lin Xia’s eyes.
Lu Zheng comforted her, “Wife!
You’ve just gotten pregnant, why think so much?
Have you tired yourself out after all this stress?
I’ll hold you and our little one and we’ll take a nap!”
Lin Xia felt a sweet warmth in her heart at his words ‘you and our little one’.
Yes, why was she worrying so much when she had just beco pregnant?
Just now Xiaogu also said that during pregnancy it’s important to enhance nutrition and maintain a happy mood, as it benefits the child!
Lu Zheng held Lin Xia gently, patting her back as if soothing a child.
He knew that pregnancy was not easy for a woman, and she had to endure many unimaginable pains.
Yang Wanng from the upstairs had given Nie Siming a hard ti ever since she got pregnant.
He had seen it all.
Back then, he was incredibly envious!
Now, he could finally experience that kind of bittersweet joy himself!
So, whether it was a boy or a girl, he would be happy!
Either would be an extension of his and Lin Xia’s life!
In less than half a day, the news of Lin Xia’s pregnancy spread through their workplace as if it had grown wings.
When Nie Siming returned ho and happily shared the news with Yang Wanng, he noticed that his wife’s complexion was especially bad.
“Wanng!
You seem a bit unhappy?”
Yang Wanng quickly snapped out of it, her face showing a look of grievance: “How can I be happy?
Siming!
You don’t understand!
This afternoon, I ran into Mr.
and Mrs.
Lu in the hallway.
I saw them both glowing with happiness, chit-chatting with others; yet nobody ntioned their baby news to !
Do they even consider as their family?”
She truly hadn’t expected Lin Xia to be pregnant!
After their encounter in the hallway earlier, she had secretly hoped that if Lin Xia’s belly remained inactive, who knew what the future might bring for them.
Who would have thought that reality would so swiftly give her an unexpected answer!
She couldn’t quite explain why she felt so bitter about it, maybe she was just jealous of Lin Xia!
After all, compared to Lin Xia, she always felt like she was better in every way.
Yet Lin Xia found Lu Zheng, a man with such good prospects!
Every day she could eat whatever she wanted without worrying about money!
What about her own life?
Nie Siming didn’t think it was a big deal, “Wanng!
You must be overthinking!
You ran into each other in the hallway; I guess they must have felt too embarrassed to share the news all of a sudden!
This morning, Lu Zheng was still working normally.
Who knew that by midday…”
“I don’t think that’s it!
They must be blaming for that incident with ng Xiangzi!
But what does that have to do with ?
I didn’t help anyone wreck their marriage!” Yang Wanng beca increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, even starting to tear up.
Nie Siming quickly caressed her back to console her: “Wanng!
Look at how upset you are getting.
No one has ever said the incident was your fault!
You’re carrying a child now, and you can’t get too emotional…”
With a string of gentle and soothing words, Nie Siming finally managed to calm Yang Wanng down.
“I’ve just spoken to Old Li, and we’ve agreed to go downstairs and look around.
Hurry and wash your face so no one can tell!”
Yang Wanng reluctantly freshened herself up and followed Nie Siming to Old Li’s downstairs.
Afterwards, the two families together paid a visit to Lu Zheng’s place.
Before long, Lu Zheng’s family, as well as Lin Chun and others, also found out about Lin Xia’s pregnancy.
For a mont, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, reactions varied…
