Chapter 357: Chapter 356: Men’s Little Secrets

Madam Wu whispered to the smoking Wu Dagong, "If Lin Xia could marry that boy sooner, our family’s youngest would also be close to marriage!"

Wu Dagong replied in a low voice, "Watch the TV! Don’t let others hear, it’d be bad!" After all, there was only a living room separating them, and no one was asleep yet.

"Alright! I won’t say any more!" Madam Wu snuggled back into the bedding happily, her mind beginning to wander.

In the next room, the Lin Xia sisters, after washing up, also lay in bed without sleeping.

"Sis! Are you nervous about going to his home with Big Brother Lu?" Lin Qiu asked as she lay on her side, propping her head with one hand.

Lin Xia mimicked her position, facing her sister face to face.

"Nervous, of course! Actually, Xiaoqiu, do you remember the middle-aged woman who came to your shop a few days ago, wanting to have clothes made and then went off to the greenhouse?"

"Of course, I remember! It was only a few days ago! And that person had such a good look and temperament, hard to forget!" Lin Qiu vividly remembered that person.

"That person is Lu Zheng’s mother!"

No sooner had Lin Xia spoken than Xiaoqiu sat up with a start, eyes wide, it took her a while with her mouth agape before she managed to exclaim, "Oh my god! Big Brother Lu’s mom? Sis, how did you know?"

Lin Xia sat up too, "I had met her a couple of times before, so I had some impression! And then she came to my greenhouse stall to buy things. As soon as I heard her speak, I was even more certain..."

Otherwise, who would have thought that woman could be Lu Zheng’s mother.

Lin Qiu’s expression changed rapidly as she tried to recall that day and spoke very fast, "At that time, I felt this woman loved to talk, so polite and quietly said a lot;

I introduced her to your new designs, and she kept asking if the clothes you designed were professionally learned, I really didn’t think much of it...

Sis, I didn’t say anything else at that time, did I? She hasn’t come again since, is it because..."

Xiaoqiu couldn’t help feeling anxious, wondering if she said something wrong that upset her sister’s future mother-in-law.

Lin Xia reassuringly patted Xiaoqiu’s shoulder, "Silly girl, what are you talking about! It’s nothing to do with you, she even went to my cosmetics store! She probably wanted to see what I’m like, and the situation of our family, right?"

Xiaoqiu felt slightly reassured but still asked uncertainly, "Sis! Then after she saw everything, what does it mean? When you go to Big Brother Lu’s house, will they..." She hesitated, unable to finish the question regarding their approval.

After seeing Big Brother Lu’s mother and witnessing her temperament and behavior, Xiaoqiu couldn’t help but worry for her sister.

And she wondered what the future would hold for her sister and Lu Zheng after the visit to his family.

"We won’t know what it’s like until after we meet them!" Lin Xia preferred not to speculate too much about unpredictable matters at the moment.

"That’s true!"

Lin Xia took the opportunity to instruct Xiaoqiu, "Xiaoqiu, after I leave, you stay put and don’t go anywhere. I’ll try to talk to Sister Hong and see if she can keep you company for a couple of days! Dongzi is coming back this weekend..."

As she planned to leave, she was all kinds of worried about her sister.

"Mm!" Xiaoqiu nodded emphatically, "Sis! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be fine!"

The next day, after Lu Zheng returned from the Wu Zhengyang’s house, Xiaoqiu and Lin Xia were up, washed, and cooking.

Seeing his refreshed look, Lin Xia urged him, "Wash up quickly, breakfast is ready soon."

"Okay!" Lu Zheng, taking advantage of Xiaoqiu carrying dishes into the living room, secretly tickled Lin Xia’s cheek.

Lin Xia chided in a low voice, "Stop it!" though her heart was sweet.

Lu Zheng promptly finished brushing his teeth and washing his face.

When breakfast was ready, faced with a table full of delicious food, Lu Zheng felt even more delighted.

"You’ve made so much?"

"I didn’t know what you wanted to eat, so I made a little extra!" Lin Xia said with a smile, serving him a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge, "Try it, I just made it fresh."

Lu Zheng scooped up a spoonful and took a bite, then sincerely praised, "Delicious!"

"If it’s delicious, eat more!" Seeing him enjoying his meal so much made Lin Xia also happy.

Lin Qiu felt like her presence as the third wheel was particularly glaring. She finished her meal at top speed and then went off to open the clothing store.

Left alone, Lu Zheng and Lin Xia exchanged glances. There were naturally some things they felt embarrassed to say with Lin Qiu around.

Almost in unison, they asked each other,

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"How did you sleep?"

Lin Xia couldn’t help but laugh, "Looking at you, it seems like you had a good sleep!"

"Not at all! I didn’t sleep until after one o’clock! Xiaoxia, what about you?" Lu Zheng had chatted with Wu Zhengyang for a while, which resulted in Wu Zhengyang falling asleep and snoring, yet he couldn’t find sleep himself.

Maybe it was because he had something on his mind, or perhaps it was because Lin Xia was staying not too far away.

He had even thought about it—Wu Zhengyang was staying in the Western House, so the Lin Xia’s Eastern House next door was only separated by a single wall.

Lin Xia didn’t pretend either, "I also went to sleep late! Just couldn’t sleep!"

No matter who it was, such a situation would cause large fluctuations in anyone’s feelings.

She had the courage to face what was to come, but she couldn’t help feeling some trepidation.

"Try to catch up on some sleep in the afternoon if you’re free!"

"We’ll see!" Lin Xia still had a lot of things to arrange.

After Lu Zheng finished a bowl of porridge, he said, "Xiaoxia, isn’t Dongzi coming back only on the weekend?"

"Right!"

"I only asked for a few days off. Once everything here is arranged, we should set off immediately.

Last time I was here, I promised to give him a gift... If we can’t make it for the weekend, why not visit his school to see him and give him the gift then..."

Lin Xia really didn’t know about this secret gift-giving agreement between the two, "What did you two talk about and do during those days you stayed?

Ever since you left, my little brother mentioned you every time he came back!"

Lu Zheng pretended to be mysterious, "That’s a little secret between us men!"

"Hmph! Little secret! I’m not even interested in hearing about it!" Lin Xia urged him, "Hurry up and eat! Go open the store first, then we’ll visit his school!"

Lu Zheng looked at her as she bowed her head and affectionately ruffled her hair, "Just teasing you! I’ll always be completely transparent with you!"

Lin Xia gave him a little glare, "Oh! Then be transparent and tell me about it!"

"At first, Dongzi cooperated with me in pursuing you, and in return, I promised him a gift!"

Lin Xia was torn between laughter and tears, "Fine! That little rascal, swayed by a single gift!"

"It’s not entirely that," Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, speaking earnestly, "He was also won over by my personal charm..."

"You’re really something!" Lin Xia laughed nonstop; he really was full of himself.

Lu Zheng laughed along with her, enjoying the sight of Lin Xia’s joyful expression.

After her laughter subsided, Lin Xia wiped the corner of her eyes, growing curious, "What gift are you planning to give?"
