Chapter 537: Chapter 536 Don’t Ignore Me

Lu Zheng watched Lin Xia flouncing out of the kitchen with a dramatic swish of her sleeves and heading back to the living room, laughing so hard he was practically bent double. He found his wife’s charming petulance absolutely irresistible!

But he was okay with staying back to finish the chores, sparing Lin Xia the trouble. He’d have to pamper his wife properly when they got home!

Lin Chun and Lin Qiu both stared at Lin Xia curiously, not understanding why she had come out of the kitchen—and with such a flushed face to boot!

What had those two been muttering about in the kitchen?

Lin Chun, at least, was somewhat savvy, despite not being married yet, he understood that a little playful banter between husband and wife was perfectly normal.

Seeing his older sister’s complexion, he figured they were probably just joking around.

Lin Qiu, clueless, asked, "Sis! Why did you come out? Can Brother-in-law handle it himself? Do you need us to lend a hand?"

Lin Xia quickly replied, "He can do it himself! Don’t worry about him!" She definitely couldn’t let anyone else help him!

"Hmm!" Lin Qiu sensed something was different but didn’t press further.

Lin Xia sat there, ostensibly watching TV, but her gaze kept flickering toward the kitchen, her cheeks still warmly flushed.

However, after a little while, she found the whole situation quite amusing.

Lin Chun and Lin Qiu, using their peripheral vision to observe Lin Xia, shared a knowing glance when they saw her amused expression.

Just then, the sound of the front door was heard.

As Lin Chun rose to answer it, Song Zhiya had already opened the door, bringing in a gust of cool air with her.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Lin Xia! So you haven’t left yet?"

Just earlier, Jiang Mingyuan, thinking it was getting late, assumed Lin Xia and her husband had gone to their new home, so he hadn’t come in to sit.

She didn’t want to be too harsh anyway, and since Jiang Mingyuan had things to busy himself with at his store, she couldn’t possibly be oblivious to that.

Looking at Song Zhiya’s rosy face and sparkling eyes, it wasn’t hard to guess their date went quite well.

Lin Xia teased Song Zhiya with a grin, "Cousin! You didn’t come back, so how could we bear to leave? Tell me, being out with Second Brother for that long surely involved more than just a movie. What else did you do?"

Song Zhiya’s face turned several shades redder at Lin Xia’s words.

"Well! After the cinema, he insisted on treating me to dinner, and we went to eat before coming back... He thought you’d already gone home, so he didn’t come in..."

After being gently probed by Lin Xia, Song Zhiya finally realized why Lin Xia and Lu Zheng hadn’t gone back to their new place that day.

"Lin Xia! You’re tricking me, aren’t you? Saying you were waiting for me, when clearly, you had unfinished business!"

Lin Xia rolled her eyes at Lu Zheng, who had just come out of the kitchen after washing his hands, but when she turned to face Song Zhiya, she put on a smile, "Not at all! Cousin, you can’t accuse us falsely! We were really waiting for you to come back! It’s just that we found something to do while we were idle!"

Seeing that Song Zhiya and Second Brother’s first date had gone well, she genuinely felt thrilled.

Finally, Second Brother was willing to open up his heart to others, marking a super positive development.

She believed that as long as they both had feelings for one another, considering Aunt Zhao really liked Song Zhiya and Uncle Song Yinran was very open-minded, there shouldn’t be any significant obstacles between them.

She hoped for her brother’s happiness, and wished the same for her cousin!

After a round of laughter and jokes, they began discussing the events that unfolded after Song Zhiya left that afternoon.

Listening to them made Song Zhiya furious, "Is she out of her mind? That Wu Zhengyang isn’t anything impressive in my eyes!

I was there the other day when Wu Zhengyang came looking for Lin Qiu! How could there possibly be anything between those two?

Our Lin Qiu surely doesn’t have eyes for a married man like Wu Zhengyang! Lin Qiu, it would be great if that train conductor you’re seeing could show up for a visit. It would show them all, what a real gap looks like!"

Song Zhiya hadn’t met the train conductor that the aunt had introduced to Lin Qiu, but she had heard a lot about him.

In her eyes, that person was definitely more than just a little better than any Wu Zhengyang she had ever met!

Lin Qiu shook her head a bit embarrassedly, "He’s very busy! Besides, I don’t want him to come over!"

Now that things had progressed to this point, she had a lingering feeling that she was in a difficult position to step back from.

Dating someone doesn’t necessarily lead to success, and she and Kang Yijun were just at the initial stage of getting to know each other.

But once the word got out, not only Wu Zhengyang, but even the neighbors were aware of it.

Because of past experiences, she was worried about what to do if things didn’t work out in the end?

Lin Xia noticed Lin Qiu’s concerns and gave Song Zhiya a look, signaling her to stop talking.

She hadn’t met the train conductor and didn’t know what kind of person he was, so it was not wise to judge rashly.

Therefore, unless he took the initiative to express a desire to visit Lin Qiu.

Otherwise, how could Lin Qiu decently suggest that he come over to their house as a guest?

At what point should a young woman maintain some dignity?.

Moreover, whether they would end up together or not was uncertain—who could predict the future?

After Lin Xia and Lu Zheng returned home, they inevitably teased each other about the earlier events.

Lu Zheng stood at the bathroom door, watching Lin Xia wash her hands and smiled, "Wife! Are you still mad at me? I just had a sudden idea to tease you, don’t ignore me!"

The whole way back home, Lin Xia walked in silence by herself, regardless of how Lu Zheng joked with her, she wouldn’t respond.

Now that they had finally returned to their little world at home, he definitely had to cheer her up before they went to sleep.

Otherwise, what would he do if his wife got angry and didn’t let him into the bedroom?

He was only a few days away from going back to his unit to be a bachelor again, so he certainly had to cherish the remaining time together even more.

Lin Xia turned her head and gave him a blank look but didn’t say a word.

Actually, she was no longer upset inside; she was just pretending to tease him!

Why did he say those things to tease her in the first place?

It was fortunate that Big Brother and Lin Qiu hadn’t heard any of it, otherwise, how could she face them? It would be so embarrassing!

Lin Xia finished washing her face and dried her hands, then turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Lu Zheng, suppressing his eagerness, followed her into the room, "Wife! Wife!"

Lin Xia sat at the vanity applying face cream, ignoring him, but the uptick of her lips betrayed her true feelings.

Lu Zheng, good at reading expressions, also noticed the signs and relaxed. He stood behind Lin Xia and looked at the reflection of the two of them in the mirror, grinning from ear to ear.

His wife was just so beautiful, especially her fair and rosy skin that looked even more tender after washing her face; he really wanted to pinch it.

Of course, at this moment, he didn’t dare to make that move.

He could only imagine it in his mind.

"Wife! You are so beautiful!"

Lin Xia huffed a little but still didn’t engage with him.

But she was also finding it hard to keep up the act—usually, they never ran out of things to talk about when together.

This was the first time since they had come back that they had held back from speaking all the way home.
