Chapter 465: Chapter 464 You ungrateful little thing!

Lu Zheng asked Lin Xia, "What does your aunt want by coming here?"

Lin Xia did not hide anything from him, "My aunt wants me to help ask if they can get Brother Hongli and Luo Yue married soon!"

Lu Zheng had complicated feelings about Luo Yue, who he had never met yet was intricately related to him.

Therefore, he did not inquire further but instead brought up, "Xiaoxia! Shouldn’t we also make haste to get married?"

How long had Yu Hongli and his partner been together? Certainly not as long as he and Lin Xia had been, right?

But now they were already starting to arrange their wedding!

How could he not be anxious? He was absolutely beside himself with impatience!

Watching others cuddle with their wives every day, could he not be in a hurry?

"Didn’t we agree to wait for my elder brother to come back?"

Lin Xia had no objections to marrying Lu Zheng, but she always wanted her elder brother to see her get married, even if it was a simple wedding with just a few tables of guests, with all her siblings present.

Of course, now that her status had changed and she had such a grandfather, her wedding with Lu Zheng surely wouldn’t be as modest.

Lu Zheng sighed softly, "Didn’t your grandfather ask about how you’d like to arrange for your brother?"

With a powerful grandfather like that, it wouldn’t be too difficult for Lin Chun to climb the ladder if he wanted to.

"He did ask! I said my elder brother wanted to return to our hometown." Lin Xia had discussed her brother’s issue with Qin Zeming before, "But he should discuss it with my elder brother in person when he goes to see you all after a little while... "

"Silly girl!" Lu Zheng prodded, "What if your brother decides not to come back? Then when will we get married?"

"Uh..." Lin Xia was suddenly at a loss; she really hadn’t considered this problem, but she quickly said, "If my elder brother doesn’t want to come back, I respect his decision! We will definitely get married by the end of the year!

Just wait a little longer! Look what month it is now? It’s coming soon, right?"

"Coming soon?" Lu Zheng’s tone was full of wistfulness, "Young lady, do you know what ’each day feels like a year’ means?"

Lin Xia playfully said, "I don’t know!" She paused before saying more seriously, "I only know ’not seeing you for a day feels like three autumns have passed!’"

Lu Zheng chuckled on the other end, "You little rascal! Do you know what ’the long nights are endless, and it’s hard to sleep alone’ means?"

Lin Xia giggled, "That I really don’t know! I’ve been sleeping very well every day!"

Lu Zheng laughingly scolded, "You heartless little thing! I miss you! I miss you so much! We haven’t seen each other for such a long time."

"Actually, I feel the same! I miss you a lot! I was thinking of joining my grandfather when he goes to see my elder brother to see you guys as well!

But, as you know, we went to Ji Province in a rush to visit my grandmother...

And with my grandfather being old, setting off to visit you right away might be too much for him, plus with his status... So we can only wait a bit longer to meet..."

Because people were always around before, Lin Xia had no chance to have a good chat with him, so how could she let loose like now when she was home alone?

"Xiaoxia! I can wait! The next time we meet will be when we get married!"

Lin Xia smiled silently, her lips curving upwards, "Okay."

She was certain of him, so there was nothing left to hesitate about!

It turned out that there had been opposition from his family, which was why she had always been ready to retreat completely if necessary.

But things were different now; not only was there no opposition from his family, but her family background was no longer seen as a small household in the eyes of Lu Zheng’s grandmother.

Lu Zheng finally received the answer he had been waiting for. Overwhelmed with emotion, he blurted out, "Xiaoxia! I love you!"

His deeply affectionate confession surprised and moved Lin Xia.

Fighting the rapid beating of her heart, she responded earnestly, "I love you too! Lu Zheng!"

The two then poured out their hearts over the phone, holding on to the call. Although they couldn’t see or touch each other, at least hearing one another’s voice was a small consolation for their longing.

The next day, Lin Xia went to Luo Xinyan’s house in a good mood.

When Luo Xinyan saw that it was Lin Xia knocking on her door, she greeted her warmly, "Lin Xia is here! What have you been busy with lately? I haven’t seen you in a while!" She really liked and appreciated Lin Xia.

Lin Xia noticed that Luo Xinyan looked a bit healthier than before, even though she knew Luo Yue, her daughter, was already over thirty. Nonetheless, she had to admit, Luo Xinyan was genuinely beautiful; people would believe she was just over forty.

She spoke vaguely, "There’s something going on at home!" As for what it was, she didn’t feel the need to tell everyone.

Once inside, Luo Xinyan told Lin Xia to make herself comfortable while she went to make tea.

Lin Xia looked around and noticed that the house was spotless and tidy.

After Luo Xinyan heard what Lin Xia said about Lin Aijia wanting her daughter to marry Yu Hongli, she didn’t oppose the idea, "It’s fine for the two of them to get married. A man should marry at the proper age, and so should a woman! Both are not young anymore!"

A feeling of joy surged in Lin Xia’s heart, "Auntie! Since you agree, I will speak with my aunt and her family. You can arrange a time and place to discuss the marriage, about the bride price, and all that...

This is my first time introducing potential spouses to each other, so I’m not sure about the process or what needs to be discussed."

Luo Xinyan smiled gently, "Lin Xia, there’s no rush! We should first decide where they will live after the wedding."

Lin Xia’s eyes widened in anticipation of what was to come.

"Lin Xia! You know that Luo Yue works in the city and often has night shifts and overtime. If she were to live with your aunt after getting married, the commute would be really inconvenient."

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows in inquiry, "So, what are you suggesting?"

Luo Xinyan began to share her thoughts on the future arrangements, "I wonder if we could discuss with your aunt the possibility of holding the wedding at their place, but living at our home afterward. That way, Luo Yue’s commute to work would be easier. As for your brother, we’ll have to see whether he commutes or..."

With one working in the city and the other near her home, Lin Xia felt it wasn’t right for her to help make such decisions, "...I’ll ask my aunt and her family about it!"

"Sure! There’s no rush," Luo Xinyan said with a light smile. "Actually, I asked Hongli the other day, and he said he’s willing to commute!"

"Really!" Lin Xia chuckled inwardly. Her Brother Hongli really was something, obedient and compliant even before getting married. After the wedding, he’d likely be henpecked. But she wondered, what would her aunt and family think?

When Lin Aijia found out, she not only disagreed but was especially upset, and she gave Lin Xia an earful over the phone.

Lin Aijia had only one son and had been looking forward to welcoming another person into the family after his marriage, anticipating later the joy of having a chubby grandson. What could be more lively than a bustling household?

But now it turned out that after getting married, they were supposed to live at the mother-in-law’s house. How was that acceptable?

Wouldn’t that make him a groom marrying into the bride’s family?
