Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 551 - 550: Once Again

Chapter 551: Chapter 550: Once Again

As Lin Xia passed by the open gate of the Wu Family, she purposefully glanced coldly into their courtyard.

Miao Xue, that lunatic, hadn’t learned her lesson even after a beating. It seemed she hadn’t been hit hard enough to be subdued.

She still dared to brazenly think about causing trouble!

Even though Lin Xia had reservations about Kang Yijun and was still observing, did that mean it was up to this messed-up woman to cause chaos?

What right did she have to tell others that Lin Qiu and Wu Zhengyang had once dated and been engaged? Did she have no shame?

However, Kang Yijun was here, so she would hold back for the time being—but later, she would definitely settle accounts with Miao Xue!

Even if she didn’t get physical, she would have to talk to Wu Zhengyang, give Miao Xue a dose of her own medicine, and tell him to keep his people in check, not let them bark wildly.

That night, Kang Yijun and Lin Chun stayed at Western House.

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng returned to their own home.

After washing up, they each crawled into bed.

The peaceful moment didn’t last long. Lu Zheng kissed her forehead, "Wife! The day after tomorrow, I have to leave! I really can’t bear to leave you!"

Facing another separation, Lu Zheng felt that this time was harder to bear than any other.

Perhaps it was because they were now truly married—a united couple.

His heart and eyes were filled with the person in his arms; he hated that he couldn’t spend every day together with her.

But reality was cruel. They were newlyweds, deeply in love, yet they had to face separation so soon.

Lin Xia felt a sourness in her heart. She hugged him tight, feeling his warm body and familiar scent.

Once he was gone, and for many nights to come, if she wanted to comfortably hold him in her arms, warm as a furnace, or breathe in deeply the scent that was uniquely his, she would have to do so in her dreams.

Her voice sounded muffled, "I know! I can’t stand the thought of you leaving either!"

After saying those words, her nose felt a bit sour and her eyes grew slightly warm.

If only Lu Zheng were not so far away!

Even if Lu Zheng were like her elder brother, that would be good too; then he could be by her side.

She knew such thoughts were wrong, but she couldn’t help thinking them...

Lu Zheng understood Lin Xia’s feelings. Who wouldn’t want their husband by their side? Only then would it truly feel like living life together!

But, who said they had to be so far apart?

Sometimes, he felt helpless about this situation too!

If possible, he wouldn’t want to leave his newlywed wife to return to a place full of men at his unit.

Lu Zheng gently stroked Lin Xia’s face, consoling, "Wife! Don’t be sad! How about you come visit me after you’re done with your work before the New Year? The New Year is in February, which isn’t too far away..."

He said it wasn’t too long, but in his heart, he felt it was a very, very long time.

Disregarding the time Lin Chun was injured and Lin Xia visited, since dating up until now, Lin Xia had never visited his unit.

Sometimes he wondered if Lin Xia had chosen Jiang Mingyuan instead of him, perhaps she wouldn’t have to face such moments of farewell.

But since he and Lin Xia loved each other, he would never let go.

If he could have let go, he would have abandoned the foolish attachment long ago.

They had come to love and understand each other deeply over time, and even if he might not be able to do many things, failing to be by her side when she needed him the most.

But he could love her wholeheartedly, to take care of everything for her whenever he was by her side, and to do anything.

Moreover, Lin Xia had the intention and planned to visit him at the right time in the future; by then, they could reunite and be together often.

"You know, I was really, really busy before the New Year, I wanted to visit you but couldn’t make it! I’ll come after the busy period is over, maybe a few days into the New Year," Lin Xia counted on her fingers, realizing that with the upcoming New Year just around the corner, they would be able to meet again in just over a month.

With this thought, the sadness in her heart immediately decreased a little.

Even if the time she could stay was not very long, she felt completely satisfied.

She was an ordinary person who sometimes succumbed to mood swings, but at the same time, she was very easy to please.

A lifetime is not very long, just a few decades, and she was willing to devote herself to the one she loved, without dwelling on gains and losses.

"Great! I’ll be waiting for you! I just wish the New Year would come sooner!" Then he could see her.

"Me too! If only next week were New Year’s already," Lin Xia was startled by his sudden move, and she quickly pushed against his shoulder to protest, "We were having a nice chat! Why do you have to... Didn’t you just..."

Lu Zheng immediately clarified, "I’m just giving a kiss, nothing else!" He really wanted her to see the purity and honesty in his eyes.

Lin Xia, looking at his face so close to hers, saw the tenderness in his eyes, which resembled black obsidian, and she smiled, moving closer to him of her own accord.

After a moment of intimacy, Lu Zheng forced himself to let go of her. Since his wife wanted to chat, he had to make a great effort to oblige.

It was not right to think only of things not suitable for children once they were in bed; proper communication was still necessary.

He cleared his throat and couldn’t help but admonish her, "Wife! After I leave, you shouldn’t stay here by yourself! It’s not safe..." He was not at ease with the idea of his wife living there alone.

Lin Xia shared his thoughts; after Lu Zheng left, she didn’t want to stay alone in the empty house, feeling cold and lonely.

Lin Xia’s eyes relaxed as she smiled at him, "Don’t worry, even if you didn’t mention it, I was thinking of moving back there once you leave... It’s lonely and sad here all by myself..."

This house was filled with memories of Lu Zheng; she knew that if she stayed here, she would find herself missing him even more deeply.

The next afternoon, when Lin Dong returned home from school, he was genuinely surprised to find Kang Yijun there.

Initially, he had overheard his aunt talking about Lin Chun’s matchmaking suitor during his elder sister’s wedding.

From their conversation, he knew the man was not only good-looking but also good-natured.

Being naturally curious about train conductors, he eagerly anticipated the chance to meet and see the true appearance of the man from afar.

But upon meeting him, he understood that seeing a person in the flesh was better than hearing of their renown.

The man exceeded his expectations—tall, handsome, and good-natured!

He now felt extremely grateful that Lin Chun hadn’t ended up with the Wu Family’s Wu Zhengyang next door. Otherwise, how could he possibly boast about having a train conductor as a brother-in-law, a fact that would make anyone envious?

Kang Yijun could tell that Lin Qiu’s younger brother liked him, and naturally, he too wanted to get along well with his future brother-in-law. Not only did he bring gifts, but he also built snowmen.

After a day and a night, the heavy snow that had intermittently fallen had blanketed the ground in a thick layer.

The piles of snow created from clearing it away served as raw material for the snowmen he built with Lin Dong after dinner.

Lin Qiu and Song Zhiya also became interested and dressed warmly to join the fun outside. They brought carrots and buttons to use as the snowmen’s noses and eyes.

Lin Dong even found an old hat in the storeroom.
