Chapter 490: Chapter 489 I do!

Songxue Hotel, Song Zhiya’s room.

Aside from Song Zhiya, who was wrapped in a thick quilt and leaning against the headboard, the room also housed Song Yinran and his son, both of whom looked at her with concerned expressions.

Song Zhiya covered her nose with a handkerchief, sneezing and tearing up from time to time, her little nose bright red.

Her voice was hoarse, "Dad! Brother! Take a seat!"

Song Yinran asked his daughter, who was suffering from a cold, with concern, "Yaya! Why don’t you go get a shot?" Seeing his daughter’s pitiful state with tears and a runny nose, he felt extremely heartbroken.

The joy from the spring night just passed seemed to have faded somewhat.

Song Zhiya blew her nose and shook her head, "No need, Dad! I’m fine! It was just too cold last night! I caught a cold! After my brother leaves, I won’t be staying at the hotel tonight! I’m going to stay with my cousin! Her house has a warm fire kang, which is pretty good!"

"Alright then, pack up later! Your brother is leaving in the afternoon!" Song Yinran initially worried about his daughter staying at the hotel alone and wanted her to stay with them. The north bedroom in their newly purchased house already had beds set up.

But if his daughter preferred to stay at Lin Xia’s place, that was even better, lest it interrupted his and Xinyan’s time together.

Thinking of this, he felt a bit ashamed, thankfully his children had not noticed the change in his expression.

Song Zhiyi planned to head to the provincial city in the afternoon and then catch a flight back to the south.

He sat in a chair by the window, reluctantly complaining to Song Yinran, "Dad! Ever since I went back to help you with the business, how long has it been since I last saw Ziyin?

What kind of boyfriend am I? I’m afraid she might feel sad one day and break up with me!

Dad! Look how much I’ve sacrificed for your happiness in your later years! Don’t I deserve a reward? Like that set of ruby jewelry in the second layer of your safe... I could give it to Ziyin as an apology..."

He had wanted that set of jewelry for a long time, but his father always had a heap of reasons and excuses not to give it to him.

It wasn’t that he lacked money, but that set of jewelry couldn’t be obtained even with money.

Nowadays, ruby and sapphire jewelry are in fashion, and his girlfriend liked collecting these. To win a smile from his beloved, he was prepared to go all out in front of his father!

If this had been before, Song Yinran would not have agreed!

It wasn’t that the set of rubies was particularly precious, but because his son was merely dating Ling Ziyin. Whether it would work out in the end was still unknown. Giving too much too early might increase expectations in the future.

But Song Yinran was in high spirits because of the happy event, and he wanted his son to feel joy as well, so he agreed readily, "Alright!"

Song Zhiyi’s face lit up with happiness, "Thank you, dear dad!"

In his mind, he already imagined the happy and adorable expression on Ling Ziyin’s face when he would give her the jewelry.

Song Yinran added a caveat in a timely manner, "But I warn you, kid, don’t touch anything else without my permission!"

Those were his prized collections, and he intended to show Luo Xinyan around during the New Year period to let her have some fun and enjoy the excitement. Then he would pick out a few items for Luo Yue and Lin Xia, as the younger generation would definitely like these things!

"Don’t worry! Am I that kind of person without quality?" Song Zhiyi finally got what he wanted, and for now, he truly had no intentions for anything else.

Song Zhiyi looked at Song Zhiya, who was busy blowing her nose and not paying any attention to what they were saying. He couldn´t help teasing her once more about not leaving with him.

"Yaya! Why do you insist on staying here? You’ve already caught a cold in this freezing weather! Why not come back with me?"

Song Zhiya was resolute, "No! Achoo! I will be fine after a few days with this cold! You have important things to tend to when you go back, and I can stay wherever, right? Besides, I still need to help out my cousin here! When she gets married aren’t you coming back? So, my darling brother, go ahead without worries!"

It was her first time coming to the north since she was a child.

The sight of the entire world blanketed in pristine white snow deeply captivated her.

She hadn’t have a proper chance to eat, drink, and be merry to experience the local customs yet—how could she easily leave?

Even if she were to leave, she’d at least need to have her fill of fun first!

Song Zhiyi mockingly threw a couple of punches her way, "Then you stay here and freeze!"

"I’m willing!" Song Zhiya declared, only to follow it up with two sneezes.

It was only when Lin Xia came to see off her cousin Song Zhiyi that she learned Song Zhiya had caught a cold.

"Cousin! It’s okay! Once we’re at my place, I’ll cook you some ginger soup to sweat it out," Lin Xia said.

Song Zhiya wrapped her arms around Lin Xia’s warmly and laughed, "Great! Only my cousin knows how to take care of me! From now on, I’ll just mooch off you for food and drinks!"

"No problem, cousin! I’ll cook you tasty food every day!" Lin Xia, who lived alone, did find it rather lonely, and she had a good impression of Song Zhiya; she thought having someone to keep her company would be quite nice.

Song Zhiyi looked at the two of them chatting so intimately with a melancholic gaze and couldn’t help but interrupt, "Cousin! I’m about to leave; don’t you have anything to say to your cousin?"

If it wasn’t absolutely necessary for him to return, he really wouldn’t want to go!

Lin Xia laughed heartily, knowing that Song Zhiyi would say something like this, so she had steamed some sausages for him to take on the road.

"Here! This is something tasty I made for you! Eat it on your trip, cousin!"

"That’s more like it!" Song Zhiyi happily took the bag, eager to see what was inside, and the aroma that hit him made his eyes light up, "Smells good, huh?"

"Of course! If you like it, next time I’ll make more for you!"

Reluctantly, Song Zhiyi got into the car and departed, and thereafter Song Zhiya moved in with Lin Xia.

The two of them got along gleefully, and within a couple of days, they already felt like true sisters to each other.

...

Lin Xia glanced at the calendar from which she peeled off another page, realizing the day her older brother and Lu Zheng were to return was drawing nearer.

Now, in addition to being busy with the shop, she was also preparing for her wedding necessities.

Many things that could be purchased weren’t urgent; she could wait for Lu Zheng to arrive and then they could shop together, which she imagined would be quite fun.

However, she needed to start preparing a few quilts to be made.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao received Lin Xia’s call, she hurried over from her home the next day.

Curiosity piqued upon seeing Song Zhiya at Lin Xia’s place, Mrs. Zhao gave the attractive young woman a few extra glances.

Wondering who this pretty girl could be in Lin Xia’s family, Mrs. Zhao guessed she might be a relative from her grandmother’s side.

Lin Xia introduced them, "Godmother, this is my uncle’s daughter Song Zhiya!

Cousin, this is my godmother! She’s the mother of the brother you met the other day!"

Song Zhiya immediately smiled and nodded in recognition, "Hello, Auntie! I’ve even eaten at your son’s restaurant!"

She had a favorable impression of Lin Xia’s second brother and had later asked Lin Xia about him, never imagining he practiced martial arts!

Mrs. Zhao lit up when she heard that Song Zhiya had met her son, and beamed even wider, "Is that so! You’re a beautiful girl! How old are you? Have you found a husband yet?"
