Chapter 498: Chapter 497 Who is Aunt Luo Luo Yue?

In Lu Zheng’s eyes, Lin Xia had always been a courageous girl who dared to dream big and stir things up since they first met!

But he never expected that she would buy a house and prepare a new home without telling him a word!

Lu Zheng intentionally put on a stern face and pinched her cheek as if to punish her, "Little girl! You’re really something! How many other things are you hiding from me, hmm?"

The silky touch made his eyes darken, wishing it was just the two of them there.

"Umm! That... don’t be mad! I was..."

Lin Xia rubbed her feverish cheeks, feeling somewhat guilty—she indeed did something wrong this time.

Just as she was about to whisper an explanation, Lu Zheng’s expression suddenly changed, and he grinned, no longer looking upset.

"I’m just teasing you! Let’s go take a look at the house later, and we can buy whatever is missing together!"

As a man, he certainly couldn’t let Lin Xia pay for the wedding and the house, but with other people present, he didn’t feel the need to assert this to Lin Xia.

"Sure!" Lin Xia realized that Lu Zheng wasn’t the least bit upset about her having kept secrets from him, he was just playing a bit with her.

Moved, Lin Xia grasped his long, warm hand with a hint of calluses, "Lu Zheng! You’re so good!"

What had she done to deserve a man who offered her endless tolerance in this lifetime!

Lu Zheng glanced at the tightly closed doors to the kitchen and the Eastern House, and gave in to his impulse by lightly flicking Lin Xia’s nose, smiling indulgently, "Silly girl!"

Just then, Song Zhiya came out of the Eastern House wearing a coat.

Seeing the swift and proper demeanor of Lu Zheng and Lin Xia, she couldn’t help teasing them, "Cough cough cough! I didn’t see anything! Continue on!"

Lin Chun had already finished his work in the kitchen and was dawdling, not daring to interrupt his youngest sister and brother-in-law; hearing Song Zhiya leave the room, he also entered the living area.

Knowing Song Zhiya’s mischievous nature, Lin Xia didn’t mind at all, "Cousin! Where are you off to?"

Song Zhiya winked playfully at her, "I called my dad yesterday, and he said he and Auntie Luo are going to make dumplings at Luo Yue’s place today, so I thought I’d join the fun!"

She figured Lin Xia’s older brother and his boyfriend were back; they would surely have much to talk about and many things to do.

Having an outsider like her around, who was practically a stranger, would naturally be inconvenient.

It was a good opportunity for her to go over to Luo Yue’s place and join the festivities, and then return later in the evening.

Lin Chun was confused, as he didn’t know who Auntie Luo and Luo Yue were, nor the relationship they had with Song Yinran, but he was too shy to ask Song Zhiya directly.

All he said was, "I haven’t met uncle yet! We’ll go say hello after we rest a bit!" After all, he was their elder and deserved a visit!

Song Zhiya waved her hand, still laughing, "No rush! You must be tired from the trip; rest up first! We’ll meet sooner or later!"

Lin Chun responded with a cheerful "That sounds good!"

Lu Zheng watched from the side with a deep look in his eyes. Lin Chun didn’t grasp the situation, but he knew!

Auntie Luo? Luo Yue? Weren’t they his father’s first love and daughter? How did they become connected with Lin Xia’s uncle... It seemed many things happened that he wasn’t aware of.

Lu Zheng threw Lin Xia a look filled with meaning, it seemed he had some serious questions to ask her!

Lin Xia sent him a meaningful glance, suggesting that whatever it was could wait until later.

After all, Song Zhiya and Lin Chun had no idea about Luo Xinyan’s relationship with Lu Pengcheng, so anything that needed to be discussed had to be done privately between the two of them.

Only after Song Zhiya had left did Lin Chun curiously ask, "Xiaoxia, who is this Auntie Luo and Luo Yue she mentioned? And why did uncle go over to their place to make dumplings?"

He might not have met Song Yinran in person, but he had heard that they used to live in the south. Now they had not only come here but also seemed to have found someone...

With Song Zhiya no longer around, there were things Lin Xia felt she could discuss, "Luo Yue is Brother Hongli’s daughter-in-law! Uncle came here to visit us and even partnered with me to start a company... Later on, Uncle took a liking to Brother Hongli’s mother-in-law, and they got married a while ago..."

Lin Xia cautiously observed Lu Zheng’s expression as she spoke, noticing a flicker of complexity in his eyes.

"That really happened?" Lin Chun had heard about Yu Hongli’s marriage but was unaware that their uncle had married his mother-in-law.

He spontaneously exclaimed with emotion, "So they are fated to meet despite the distance! From the south to the north, that really couldn’t have been easy!"

"Indeed! Without fate, people don’t meet even when face to face," Lin Xia didn’t want to continue on the subject, worrying she might slip up in front of Lin Chun.

"Big brother! When those two from the greenhouse come over, can you help with the payment? I’ve got everything sorted and left in the Western House. I’ll come back after opening the shop!"

Even if Lin Chun wasn’t in charge of making the payment, he wouldn’t have gone with Lin Xia to the shop anyway. "Okay! You go ahead!"

Lu Zheng put on his coat, "Then let’s go."

"Alright!" Lin Xia also had many things she wanted to talk to him about.

Cycling in winter is a challenging task that tests the cyclist’s skills. Considering the time wasn’t too late, Lin Xia decided that they could take a leisurely stroll, which not only eliminated the risk of falling off a bike but also provided a good opportunity to talk.

Upon exiting the front door, Lu Zheng took Lin Xia’s hand, their feet crunching on the snow, a sound that seemed to compose a delightful melody.

They looked at each other and smiled, feeling a sweet satisfaction deep inside even through their thick gloves.

Lu Zheng felt a surge of emotion; since they began dating, they were often apart, with him lacking the time to be by her side. Such opportunities as walking hand in hand with her were very rare indeed.

But thinking of the things Lin Xia hadn’t told him, his handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Xiaoxia, does my dad know about that matter?"

"He doesn’t know! I haven’t figured out how to tell him yet! After all, I was involved in that matter..." Lin Xia briefly explained the situation to Lu Zheng.

She presumed that if Lu Pengcheng knew Luo Xinyan had married someone, he must be feeling quite complex and delicate emotions, wouldn’t he?

After all, she was his first love and they shared a daughter!

If he found out she had facilitated the reconciliation, perhaps there would be some discomfort in his heart, too.

But she did not regret what she had done!

Luo Xinyan was a good woman; she deserved her share of happiness, not a pitiful lonely old age.

"Why haven’t you ever told me before?" Lu Zheng felt helpless, noting how tightly sealed the girl’s lips were.

"I was thinking of telling you in person... about this thing..."

Lu Zheng looked at Lin Xia earnestly, "Xiaoxia, in the future, we are husband and wife, we are one! So, please, let’s not keep secrets from each other any longer, okay?"

Lin Xia nodded eagerly, "Okay! Lu Zheng! I certainly lacked consideration this time! I will try my best to avoid it in the future!" She also recognized her problem, being accustomed to take charge on her own, hence she acted as she pleased without considering others much...
