Chapter 530: Chapter 529: Do You Believe It Now?

By the time Lin Xia slowly woke up the next day, Lu Zheng was already not in the bed.

She reached out and touched the quilt, which was cold, leading her to deduce that he must have gotten up a long time ago.

There was no noise outside; she called out "Lu Zheng," but there was no response.

Lin Xia, supporting her sore back, got out of bed to go to the bathroom and deeply concluded that Lu Zheng, after drinking, was terrifying.

Just as Lin Xia had finished brushing her teeth and was about to wash her face, she heard the sound of a key turning in the door.

She glanced at the doorway and saw a refreshed Lu Zheng returning.

There were a few snowflakes falling on his clothes and head, and he was carrying a red thermos and several sticks of fried dough.

After all that, the guy had gone out to buy breakfast!

Seeing his industriousness, she decided not to hold last night against him.

When Lu Zheng saw Lin Xia standing at the bathroom, he grinned widely, showing a mouthful of white teeth, "Wife! You’re awake!"

"Hmm!" Lin Xia responded, deliberately ignoring him and continued washing her face.

Lu Zheng quickly shed his coat, and when Lin Xia was wiping her face, he gently wrapped his arms around her from behind, "Wife! Are you tired..."

As soon as he got close, he smelled Lin Xia’s scent— a light, sweet fragrance that he adored immensely.

Looking at the two of them in the mirror, Lin Xia felt an unusual sense of security and happiness.

She sensitively noticed the change in the gaze of the person behind her and cautiously moved forward before turning around, "What do you think? Hurry up and set up the bowls and dishes! I’m hungry!"

She definitely didn’t have the energy to keep up with his madness, as there were still many things to do today!

"As you wish!" Lu Zheng cheerfully kissed the top of her head and obediently headed to the kitchen, causing Lin Xia to watch his tall figure and burst into laughter.

Previously, due to too many misfortunes, she held no illusions about marriage.

But since Lu Zheng appeared, everything gradually changed... She felt truly happy being together with him...

A day later, Mingyuan called Zhiya at lunchtime to invite her to a movie.

At Mingyuan’s initiative, Zhiya could hardly hide her shyness and nervousness; this was their first time alone together.

It was clear what Mingyuan meant—if he had no feelings for her, he wouldn’t have asked her out!

But for the date, in this freezing weather, what to wear became her foremost troubling question.

"Lin Xia! What do you guys think I should wear?" Zhiya, thinking about going to the movies with Mingyuan the next day and still unsure what to wear, couldn’t even care about her unfinished lunch.

"Cousin, anything you wear is fine!" Lin Xia could empathize with Zhiya’s feelings; who doesn’t want to appear perfect in front of someone they like.

"Cousin! Maybe you should wear that new wool skirt I made for you!" Lin Chun also offered her suggestion.

Zhiya frowned slightly in indecision, "If I wear that skirt, what should I pair it with below?! I better look at other clothes!" This place isn’t like the south; with temperatures below zero by thirty or forty degrees, she couldn’t possibly wear thick, bulky cotton pants under a skirt, could she?

She regretted not having enough clothes and not buying more.

It seems that no matter the time, a woman’s wardrobe is always lacking one appropriate outfit.

"Cousin! Don’t panic! I’ll help you figure something out!" Seeing her frantically anxious appearance, Lin Xia found her even more endearing and amusing.

She simply got up and accompanied Song Zhiya back to the Eastern House, helping her choose clothes as her adviser.

Lin Qiu, Lin Chun, and Lu Zheng continued to dine there, exchanging glances with each other.

Although Lin Qiu hadn’t known Song Zhiya for long, she truly liked this cousin.

If her second brother ended up with Song Zhiya, she would be happy to see it happen.

She whispered, "If second brother and cousin really make it, having Mrs. Zhao as a mother-in-law will be such a blessing for her!"

Ever since she had witnessed some of Wu Zhengyang’s mother’s true colors, she had a lot of thoughts about mother-in-laws.

Lin Chun really liked Mrs. Zhao and quietly agreed, "Indeed! Mrs. Zhao is particularly nice!"

"I’ve also met second brother’s eldest brother and sister-in-law, and they are really nice!" Lin Qiu suddenly thought of Jiang Mingqing and paused for a moment, lowering her voice with concern, "However, second brother’s sister isn’t that easy to get along with!"

When you get married, it’s not just about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems; having a meddlesome sister-in-law can also be troublesome.

Lin Chun, surprised, raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "She seemed alright to me! Is she really that difficult to deal with?"

He had dined with Jiang Mingqing during his return for the New Year, and in his view, she was a very nice girl, beautiful and gentle, and even a teacher. How had she turned into a difficult person in his younger sister’s eyes?

Lin Qiu pouted, "Big brother! You’ve only met her a few times! There are some things you don’t know!"

She wasn’t just making things up when she said Jiang Mingqing was difficult to deal with.

Once, when second brother was delayed returning with goods, Mrs. Zhao suffered a heart attack, and in a panic, her sister went to seek help from Brother Sheng.

As a result, Jiang Mingqing accompanied Mrs. Zhao to their house, and while she was helping Mrs. Zhao to the restroom, she said some unpleasant things to her sister.

Later, she even made a special visit to apologize.

"I think there might have been some misunderstanding!" Lin Chun instinctively defended Jiang Mingqing.

He had never mentioned this before, but he actually felt very differently about Jiang Mingqing the first time he saw her.

He couldn’t forget the scene when he first met Jiang Mingqing; the man named Sheng, sitting across the table, must have been the one she liked, yet he had shown up with another girl.

At that time, Jiang Mingqing might have been using the conversation with him to distract herself from that strange emotion.

Even so, he still thought Jiang Mingqing was wonderful in every way.

"Misunderstanding? Big brother! Brother-in-law knew about it too!" Lin Qiu turned to Lu Zheng and asked quietly, "Brother-in-law! Do you remember that time you came to our house, just when second brother hadn’t returned from shipping goods, and Mrs. Zhao and Jiang Mingqing came together... then she said those mean words, and later, during our meal, she returned to apologize?"

Lin Qiu wasn’t insistent on dwelling on these things; after all, so much time had passed. She just wanted to demonstrate that she was stating facts.

Lu Zheng nodded, his tone confident, "I remember!" How could he forget that occasion.

Since then, he’d had no good impression of Jiang Mingyuan’s sister.

Lin Qiu felt like she had found an ally and slightly lifted her chin, "Big brother! You believe me now, right? Do not be deceived by appearances! You are not home often, and there are many things you don’t know about!"

"Hmm! Then I really didn’t know about this matter!" Lin Chun’s expression was a bit stiff, and after saying this, he quietly lowered his head and continued eating.

Nobody knew what he was thinking at that moment, and he didn’t want to share his long-hidden feelings with anyone else.

Lu Zheng sensed something was amiss but remained silent, his eyes flashing briefly.

Lin Qiu, holding her rice bowl, felt the atmosphere was off. She carefully watched Lin Chun. Was it her imagination? Why did she feel her big brother’s reaction was a bit odd?
