Chapter 540 - 539: Is Lin Qiu There?

Chapter 540: Chapter 539: Is Lin Qiu There?

"Ah! That’s really great news!" Lu Zheng had only met this half-sister once, at his and Lin Xia’s wedding reception.

Actually, they were practically strangers, but seeing her face, which resembled his father’s, stirred an indescribable feeling in him.

"Exactly!" Lin Xia understood the complex feelings in Lu Zheng’s heart, so she did not continue on that subject but urged him to wash his hands and eat.

As they ate, their conversation inevitably turned to pregnancy and childbirth.

Lu Zheng asked, "Wife, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

"I like both boys and girls! What about you?" Lin Xia considered more factors. In Lu Zheng’s household, since he was the only child, if they were to have a child, his parents would definitely hope for a boy, but the gender of a baby is up to fate. If it turned out to be a girl, she couldn’t do anything about it.

Actually, Lin Xia really liked children, and if possible, she truly wanted to have several.

But with the strict birth control policies now, and since Lu Zheng had a job, they probably could only have one.

Lu Zheng looked seriously at Lin Xia and replied, "I like girls! When the time comes, I can dress her up and tie her hair in little braids!"

Lin Xia was surprised that Lu Zheng, a man, had such delicate thoughts and couldn’t help but laugh, "You, tying little braids with your big hands? Do you even know how?"

"If I don’t know, I can learn! Wife, do you think there’s a chance you’re already..." Lu Zheng looked at Lin Xia expectantly, hoping that his efforts had been effective.

He was really looking forward to their baby, wondering whom it would resemble.

But at the same time, he thought it might be better if it hadn’t happened yet.

If they were living apart and Lin Xia became pregnant, it would be too hard for her alone, and he wouldn’t be able to take care of her even if he wanted to.

Lin Xia almost spit out a mouthful of porridge at that topic.

She quickly wiped her mouth and said, "How could it be so soon? Probably not!" her tone carrying an undertone of uncertainty.

Despite what she said, she subconsciously touched her stomach.

The thought that their union might already be growing inside her filled her with anticipation, wondering what their child would be like...

After finishing their meal, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng cleaned up and prepared to leave.

As Lin Xia was putting on her shoes, she suddenly remembered Lu Pengcheng and Luo Yue’s pregnancy. He would definitely be happy if he knew.

After all, it was his own daughter having a child; he was about to become a grandfather.

But Luo Xinyan would definitely not call to tell him about it.

If they didn’t tell him either, how would Lu Pengcheng find out?

So, she shared her thought with Lu Zheng.

"Xiaozheng, shouldn’t we also tell our dad?"

Lu Zheng was a bit stunned, as he hadn’t thought about that and couldn’t help but admire how attentive women are.

Once his father found out, he would undoubtedly be overjoyed, wouldn’t he?

He hugged Lin Xia and took the opportunity to kiss her cheek, "It’s my wife who is thoughtful. I hadn’t even thought of it! Let’s call him later and tell him!"

He felt that his father would be especially happy when he heard the news. He hadn’t become a grandfather first, but a great-grandfather!

Lin Xia’s face grew warm from his kiss, "I just thought of it too! Let’s hurry back then!"

She was quite concerned about Lin Qiu and the others. With Lin Chun working, only the two girls were at home, and she didn’t know if Miao Xue might seek revenge.

Lu Zheng knew what Lin Xia was worried about, and without further delay, quickly put on his shoes and they both left.

When they arrived at the cottages, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng first entered the clothing store.

Song Zhiya was leisurely sitting by the stove, reading a book, and Lin Qiu was earnestly sewing at the sewing machine, the atmosphere peaceful and serene.

Lin Xia finally relaxed, but she still asked, "Is everything okay at home?"

"Nothing’s wrong!" Lin Qiu shook her head with a smile, knowing that her sister must be concerned about her, afraid that she might be bullied by others.

Song Zhiya stared at Lin Xia with sparkling eyes; noticing the dark circles under her eyes, she teased, "Lin Xia! Why did you guys come over so late today? Did you go to bed too late last night and oversleep?"

Lin Xia’s cheeks flushed—Song Zhiya was spot on; indeed, they had gone crazy and woke up late.

But Lin Xia would never admit that in person. She denied it flatly, "No! We had visitors at home. Aunt Luo came over to tell me that Sister Luo Yue is pregnant!"

She believed that by mentioning that, Song Zhiya would definitely not dwell on those matters anymore.

As expected, as soon as she spoke, Lin Qiu and Song Zhiya exclaimed in unison, "Really?"

"Of course it’s true! We found out yesterday!" Lin Xia couldn’t help but laugh, finding the two of them hilarious.

Would anyone joke about such a thing?

Song Zhiya asked excitedly, "The child should call me aunt, right?"

Lin Qiu calculated the relationships, "That’s right! Then I’ll be an aunt too!"

"So, what should we prepare?"

Song Zhiya had a good relationship with Luo Yue. Knowing that she was pregnant, she, as the future aunt, definitely wanted to do something to show her support.

Lin Qiu was also eager, "I don’t know, but I can make a few sets of clothes for my future nephew or niece!" That was her specialty.

Lin Xia shook her head smiling, "She just got pregnant! Isn’t it a bit early for clothes?"

"Not early at all! It’s good to be prepared early!" Song Zhiya interjected.

Watching the two of them huddled together discussing what to prepare, Lin Xia left them to it while she and Lu Zheng went to the back room to call Lu Pengcheng.

When Lu Pengcheng answered the phone and heard that Luo Yue was expecting, Lu Zheng heard a loud noise from the other end of the phone.

He quickly asked, "Dad! What happened?"

Lin Xia also became worried, wondering if the old man had gotten excited upon hearing the news?

It took a while for Lu Pengcheng’s voice to return, "I’m fine, I’m fine, I just got excited, uh, something fell."

Upon finding out, Lu Pengcheng was especially thrilled. Luo Yue was his biological daughter, and though he had never raised her, he genuinely wanted to make it up to her, to treat her well, but he always struggled to find the right way.

Now knowing Luo Yue was pregnant, he would soon be a grandfather, how could he not be excited?

The father and son exchanged a few words.

Lu Pengcheng first asked Lu Zheng, "Is it okay to talk?"

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Yes!"

"You also need to hurry up, look, they already have one! It would be best if I could be a grandfather almost at the same time as a father..."

Listening to Lu Pengcheng go on and on over the phone, even Lu Zheng’s usually impassive face blushed.

He had previously discussed having children with Lin Xia, and now his father was rushing him.

Why did he feel that his father had changed a lot—when did he become so nagging?

"Dad! Xiaoxia wants to say a few words to you!"

Lin Xia was right beside him, so she heard everything that Lu Pengcheng said to Lu Zheng.

She rolled her eyes at Lu Zheng, took the phone, and chatted with Lu Pengcheng for a few more words before ending the call.

After putting down the phone, Lin Xia joked, "Is Dad in a hurry to hold a grandchild?"
