Chapter 531: Chapter 530: Very Strange!

Song Zhiya, with Lin Xia’s help, quickly decided what to wear, and the two returned to the dining table to continue eating.

Curious, Song Zhiya asked, "What were you all talking about just now? I heard something about a misunderstanding and believing it or not while I was in the room!"

She had vaguely heard them mention something about Madame Zhao and Jiang Mingyuan.

"It’s nothing, cousin!" Lin Qiu had merely casually mentioned Jiang Mingqing to her brother and brother-in-law and didn’t want to discuss those things now in front of Song Zhiya.

Seeing that Lin Qiu didn’t want to talk, Song Zhiya didn’t pursue the matter further.

After the meal, Lin Chun went to work at his unit, and Lin Qiu and Song Zhiya returned to the Eastern House for an afternoon nap.

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng headed to the Western House; having eaten their fill, they also planned to take a nap.

Lin Xia prepared the bed while Lu Zheng arranged the pillows, and they lay down and covered themselves with the quilt.

Lu Zheng dominantly wrapped his arms around Lin Xia from behind, not feeling sleepy at all.

Lin Xia protested in a soft voice, "Stop it!"

Song Zhiya and Lin Qiu were still in the Eastern House, and they surely hadn’t fallen asleep yet; it would be embarrassing if they overheard any noises.

Lu Zheng kissed Lin Xia, coaxing her in a low voice, "Wife! I’ll be leaving in a few days!"

Right now, during his marriage leave, he could hold his wife every night, but once he returned, cradling his warm and fragrant wife could only happen in his dreams.

Therefore, he cherished every moment together, not wanting to waste a single second.

Upon hearing him say this, Lin Xia felt a sudden pang in her heart.

Indeed, after Lu Zheng left, she could only imagine being held in his warm embrace, hardly having the heart to hold him back.

However, Lu Zheng was good at taking an inch and looking for a mile; she felt she couldn’t let this continue and had to say something to divert his attention.

She asked in a quiet voice, "What were you talking about just now?"

Because the TV in the living room was on, she and Song Zhiya heard about as much.

They only caught snippets of whispered discussions doubting something about Madame Zhao.

Lu Zheng, smelling the fragrance of her hair, told her softly, "Lin Qiu inadvertently mentioned that Jiang Mingyuan’s sister is difficult to get along with! Your brother didn’t believe it..."

Thinking back to Lin Chun’s reaction, he frowned slightly — could it possibly mean that Lin Chun... If that was the case, the relationships could get quite complicated...

"So that was the topic..." Lin Xia turned to face Lu Zheng and they chatted face to face, "Well, she does seem a bit arrogant and difficult to approach... But cousin is also a university graduate... she shouldn’t have much of a sense of superiority in that regard, right?"

From Lin Xia’s point of view, Jiang Mingqing’s pride came with a sense of superiority, which was quite normal upon reflection.

In this era, not just university graduates, even high school graduates were highly respected and esteemed.

Thinking back to the unpleasant experiences they had in the past, there were reasons behind it.

Jiang Mingqing probably took offense because Lin Xia went to see the man she liked, Sheng Yijin, by herself, leading her to utter those excessive words.

So much time had passed, and with Madame Zhao and Second Brother being so good to them, Lin Xia no longer wished to dwell on those matters, but the idea of getting along with Jiang Mingqing on an intimate level was out of the question.

Not only did Jiang Mingqing look down on her deep down, but she also disdained that haughty air of superiority in Jiang Mingqing; thus, they currently maintained a relationship that was just passable on the surface.

"Wife..." Lu Zheng hesitated a moment, as he merely had a suspicion and still didn’t know Lin Chun’s exact feelings.

But if he didn’t speak up, he feared that Lin Xia might be completely unaware and unprepared.

Lin Chun was a sincere and honest man, not one to partake in romantic dalliances.

That Jiang Mingqing, in his view, really wasn’t a good match for Lin Chun.

Unfortunately, matters of the heart aren’t always measured by suitability.

"Hmm!" Lin Xia responded with a sound.

Lu Zheng’s eyes flickered, silent as if pondering.

"What do you want to tell me, huh? Why are you hemming and hawing?" Lin Xia playfully pinched his cheek.

Lu Zheng caught her small hand to stop her from fidgeting, "I’m just speculating, it might not be accurate! When Lin Qiu said she was difficult to get along with, your elder brother’s reaction was very strange..."

Under normal circumstances, one wouldn’t expect such a reaction.

"What’s strange about it?" Lin Xia asked curiously, "What did he say exactly?"

She remembered her elder brother seemed to have only dined with Jiang Mingqing once; they shouldn’t be that familiar with each other.

"He might like her..."

No sooner had Lu Zheng finished speaking than Lin Xia sat up excitedly, her eyes wide with shock, "Impossible!" How could her elder brother possibly like Jiang Mingqing?

Although she didn’t want to interfere with the kind of sister-in-law Lin Chun would bring into the family, the premise was that the person... Jiang Mingqing wasn’t even in her considerations, okay?

Lu Zheng also sat up, not expecting Lin Xia to react so strongly.

He quickly covered Lin Xia’s mouth, "Quieter! You don’t want everyone to hear!"

The voices of Lin Qiu and Song Zhiya from next door were still faintly audible; it was only a speculation for now, and it wouldn’t be good if others overheard it.

Lin Xia really couldn’t accept what Lu Zheng suggested; her dislike for Jiang Mingqing was undoubted.

In fact, when she first learned that Jiang Mingqing was a college student and came to their house to tutor Lin Dong with her second brother, she admired and envied Jiang Mingqing;

But after what happened later, that admiration shattered completely. In her eyes, Jiang Mingqing was nothing special.

Yet, the possibility that her elder brother might like Jiang Mingqing was something she couldn’t accept.

She licked her lips to calm herself, "I think you might have guessed wrong! How many times has my elder brother even met her? Including our wedding, it’s only been two or three times at most!"

"Wife! I’m just guessing too! It’s also very possible that I’m wrong! The reason why I’m telling you is so you can be psychologically prepared!" Lu Zheng, as Lin Chun’s brother-in-law, of course hoped he would find happiness, marry and have children soon, but the prerequisite is that the person really suits him.

Lin Xia initially doubted Lu Zheng’s judgment, but upon reflection, she realized it wasn’t impossible.

Logically speaking, their grandfather’s place had better prospects.

Her elder brother could have gone there even if he didn’t want to stay in Lu Zheng’s unit.

But his intention was very clear, he insisted on working back here.

His actions were related to his siblings, but other reasons couldn’t be ruled out either.

"I’ll try to sound out my elder brother when I get a chance! To be honest, I really hope my elder brother doesn’t like her.

She’s so high and mighty, and she already has someone she likes. I’m just afraid that in the end, my elder brother... sigh..."

In the Eastern House, Song Zhiya and Lin Qiu were lying on the kang, chatting as well.

Song Zhiya coaxed Lin Qiu for a while before Lin Qiu talked to her about what they discussed at noon, and immediately emphasized after finishing, "...Cousin! That’s all in the past, she was probably just anxious because the second brother had lost his letter... Just listen and let it be... Now the second brother’s sister-in-law is really nice..."

Lin Qiu didn’t want her loose talk to affect anyone; she had mentioned it at the dinner table without much thought.
