Lin Dong officially started his winter vacation. Lin Xia and Lu Zheng prepared many things to take with them for Lin Qiu and their grandfather.
Fortunately, apart from Lin Xia, who was the only woman, the other three were strong n, so they didn’t have to worry about carrying the stuff.
As they entered the train station, a tall man in a cotton coat and hat walked toward a black car parked outside the station.
Once he got into the car, he said to the stylishly dressed woman in the driver’s seat, "It’s confird. That man has also gotten into the car with them."
The woman was none other than ng Xiangzi. She frowned and imdiately made a decision, "Tell your people to pull back."
With Lu Zheng accompanying Lin Xia, their people likely wouldn’t be a match and would easily be discovered midway.
If they failed and alerted the enemy, it would be incredibly difficult for her to plot against Lin Xia next ti.
The man hesitated for a mont, "There will still be chances to make a move on the train."
This job was paid well and carried low risk; after all, it was just a woman, and he always felt there would be opportunities.
ng Xiangzi shook her head, "I want to ensure nothing can go wrong, understand?"
She wanted Lin Xia dead as soon as possible, but she was the pri suspect, so she didn’t dare to act rashly locally.
If Lin Xia died locally, she would imdiately be suspected, and Lu Zheng was the type to retaliate against her family even if he killed by mistake rather than let them go.
She could disregard anything else, but she couldn’t not care about her mother and brother.
Therefore, when she heard that Lin Xia was traveling with Lin Dong to visit their sister, she was overjoyed at the perfect opportunity.
On the train, with so many people coming and going, anything could happen, and it would be hard to investigate thoroughly.
If they did suspect her, it would be easy for her to clear her na.
"Okay, I understand," the man said before getting out of the car and leaving.
ng Xiangzi angrily hit the steering wheel, cursing. What was so great about Lin Xia that Lu Zheng would take special leave to accompany her to visit a sister.
In her past life, she never had such a privilege, and Lu Zheng had never treated her so well.
She missed this opportunity and would have to find another chance after the New Year.
After Lin Xia and Lu Zheng got off the train, they saw Qin Feiyang, whom Qin Zeming had sent to pick them up.
Qin Feiyang and Lu Zheng were classmates, so the two n shook hands and greeted each other cheerfully.
Everyone got into his car and first went to Qin Zeming’s house before heading to Lin Qiu’s.
Qin Zeming and Li Yulan appeared older than the last ti they t, but perhaps because their long-held wishes had been fulfilled, they now seed more carefree and detached.
They warmly welcod Lin Xia, Lu Zheng, and Lin Dong. After a short stay, they went to Lin Qiu’s house.
Lin Xia and Lin Qiu last t at Lin Xia’s wedding, and so much ti had passed that they missed each other dearly.
As soon as they t, Lin Xia noticed her sister had gained a lot of weight but exuded the peaceful and happy aura of a woman in love.
The two couldn’t help but avoid her rounded belly, hugging and holding hands while chatting non-stop.
Lin Qiu’s mother-in-law had specifically stayed ho to entertain Lin Xia’s group instead of going to work. They quickly settled down to eat.
During the al, the atmosphere was joyful, and most of the conversation revolved around Lin Qiu’s condition and the unborn child.
Lin Xia found that Lin Qiu’s mother-in-law treated her very well, which put her heart at ease.
Before coming, she had been a bit worried. She knew Lin Qiu’s personality, and if she suffered any long-term grievances, she wouldn’t easily speak up.
They lived far away, and although their older brother was there, n tended to be less perceptive. Gendered differences in thinking ant so issues couldn’t be easily resolved even if shared.
During their two-day stay, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng also had dinner at Lin Chun’s girlfriend’s house.
During the al, the topic of their wedding inevitably ca up.
Lin Xia ford a good impression of Gu Chengya and her family, so she frankly shared their brother’s thoughts: they could marry in sumr or autumn, depending on their family’s conditions and requirents. They would try their best to et them.
Gu Chengya’s family was highly cultured; her mother directly stated that they had no demands or conditions. As long as Lin Chun treated her daughter well and they lived harmoniously together, that was their greatest wish.
Ultimately, they decided to hold the wedding during the sumr vacation, allowing Gu Chengya and Lin Chun to travel for their honeymoon afterward.
After the brief reunion, it was ti to part again.
Lu Zheng and Lin Xia bid farewell to Qin Zeming and Lin Chun, embarking on their journey ho.
As the year-end approached, the train was quite crowded.
However, this didn’t matter much because Qin Zeming had booked them soft-sleeper berths, which were never too crowded.
Lu Zheng kept their honeymoon in mind, "Honey, it seems we haven’t had a proper honeymoon since we got married."
Since their marriage, except for so ti spent together at their original unit, they had often been apart.
He longed to make it up to his wife.
Lin Xia chuckled, "What, are you jealous after seeing my brother and future sister-in-law plan their honeymoon?"
She had felt a bit envious too. A honeymoon trip after marriage sounded romantic.
But her situation with Lu Zheng was different. Both were busy, and now with the elderly and children to care for, a romantic honeymoon seed a distant dream.
Lu Zheng admitted, "Yes, I am. Honey, I’d also like us to have a honeymoon soti."
Lin Xia felt defeated by his persistence, "We’re already an old married couple. What do we need a honeymoon for? Our kids are so grown up now." She recalled the previous year, "Did you forget we visited so many places last year?"
In her heart, that trip was a disguised honeymoon.
During that ti, though exhausting, she felt imnse happiness.
Waking up every day to see the person she loved, traveling to many places with him by her side.
With Lu Zheng, she never felt alone or afraid, even in unfamiliar places.
Lu Zheng, however, thought it was entirely different, "That doesn’t count. I an a real leisure trip without any other agenda."
Back then, their trips were purely for earning money, far from a genuine honeymoon.
Lin Xia pondered, "You rember, right? I promised Jingjing I’d never leave him for too long again.
So I think instead of leaving the kids and our parents behind for a trip, why don’t we find a chance to take them all together?
As far as I know, our parents have never gone on a trip together, right? If Grandpa’s health allows, let’s do a short trip in spring."
"Alright, let’s do it together." Lu Zheng was moved as he hugged Lin Xia. This was his good wife, always considering his family as her own, often doing even better than him.
