Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 552 - 551 Farewell

Chapter 552: Chapter 551 Farewell

Listening to their laughter from the yard, Lin Xia and her brother Lin Chun took the opportunity to discuss Kang Yijun while Lu Zheng kept them company in the living room.

"Big brother! I think this guy is pretty nice, but we have to consider Xiaoqiu’s well-being! She’s still so young, and if she gets married, there are still decades of life ahead of her... So I called grandpa to help find out about his work abilities and such..."

Lin Xia was truly torn. On one hand, Kang Yijun’s overall conditions were indeed outstanding, and she could tell her sister had a good impression of Kang Yijun. She didn’t want to pressure her sister into making any decisions she wasn’t willing to.

On the other hand, she was worried Kang Yijun was too busy to look after the family and it might be too much for Xiaoqiu to handle.

Lin Chun nodded incessantly, "Lin Xia! What you did was right! Let’s see what grandpa has to say... Actually, I also think that for a girl, finding a good family to marry into is the most important thing. If that step is wrong, then everything that follows will be wrong... Anyway, he is leaving in a couple of days, so let’s see how things go from there..."

He knew that as an older brother he wasn’t very smart and didn’t take much responsibility. Everything was organized and worried over by his elder sister, but what he could do was to stand with his elder sister in solidarity and listen to her.

Perhaps Lin Chun never expected that this thought would change before long...

On the last night before their parting, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng had endless things to talk about.

"Wife!" Lu Zheng’s voice was hoarse and magnetic, especially low in the quiet of the night.

"Hmm?" Lin Xia looked up at him, just in time to see his strong jaw with a touch of stubble on it, wondering what he wanted to say.

"What if you get pregnant after I leave?" Lu Zheng looked worried, and he was actually conflicted inside.

On one side, he truly wanted to have a child that was theirs soon;

On the other side, he didn’t want Lin Xia to get pregnant too soon and have to bear it all alone since he couldn’t be by her side.

Lin Xia smiled, thinking he was about to say something else. So it was this matter.

Before, they wanted to let nature take its course; if she got pregnant, it would be fate.

"Wouldn’t it be good if I got pregnant? If I got pregnant, it would prove that both of our bodies are healthy! Actually, I’m quite looking forward to having a baby! That way, I would have him or her for company!"

She thought that with Lu Zheng away, if she were carrying a baby, maybe she wouldn’t feel so lonely.

Lu Zheng couldn’t help but lower his head and tap her forehead, "Silly! I’ve heard that pregnancy is very hard for women... I really hope to be by your side when you’re pregnant..."

Actually, the best time for them to conceive would be after their reunion, so that they could face everything together.

He wanted to witness the growth of a little life in her belly. He wanted to take on the responsibility of being a father.

But some things were hard to balance perfectly, and his work often made him helpless.

Lin Xia understood Lu Zheng’s thoughts; she didn’t want him to be absorbed in guilt and self-reproach as he was about to leave.

Since she had chosen him, she was prepared for everything.

Even if she got pregnant, she felt she would be well taken care of with her big brother and Xiaoqiu around.

Moreover, women are quite resilient at this time and are not that delicate.

Many women are still working in their offices the day before they give birth.

Compared to them, she would have it much easier. It’s her own business, after all, and whether she wants to lie down or walk around is up to her.

Lin Xia deliberately tilted her head and looked at him, "Even if I get pregnant, what could you do by my side? You can’t be pregnant for me!"

"At least I could take care of you!"

"Xiaozheng! Let’s not think too much for now. Whether or not I’m pregnant is still uncertain..."

Lu Zheng: "..." Was he overthinking it?

Lu Zheng was leaving tomorrow, and Lin Xia did not want to waste the precious time talking about things that were of no consequence; she wanted to grab hold of the last moments to talk about happy topics.

Lu Zheng also noticed his wife’s thoughts and tried his best to cooperate.

The next day, having gone to bed late, Lin Xia unsurprisingly got up very late, but she was not anxious at all.

At home, Lin Qiu and others were handling the payments for the greenhouse, and Lin Chun, who was understanding, had already agreed to open the cosmetics store for the day.

Lu Zheng had an afternoon train to catch, planning to have lunch at the flat-type house, rest for a while, and then rush to the train station.

Therefore, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng indulgently stayed in bed until their stomachs began to protest, only then did she get up to wash up and make breakfast for him.

There wasn’t much food available here, just some flour and potatoes in the kitchen.

So, Lin Xia made a quick decision to cook him a very simple dough soup.

The two of them had an extremely sweet meal, feeding each other bite by bite.

They dallied until after ten before they finally started to get ready to go out, casually packing a bag of Lu Zheng’s change of clothes.

As for the snacks Lin Xia had prepared for him, they were left on that side and not brought over to the new house.

Breathing in the crisp, fresh air, Lin Xia couldn’t help but lament that in such beautiful weather following a snowfall and sunny skies, they had to face a separation, which seemed like truly poor timing.

Along the way, nobody had the heart to enjoy the snowy scenery.

Lu Zheng tightly grasped Lin Xia’s small hand as they strolled and chatted leisurely.

Lin Xia acted very excited, chattering nonstop, fussing over one thing after another.

In reality, Lin Xia was not as calm as she appeared.

Just thinking that once he left, it would be at least more than a month before she could see him again,

Her heart felt sour and heavy, causing even her nose to tingle and her eyes to grow warm.

But she controlled her sad emotions, not letting herself show any signs of reluctance in front of Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng, though not much of a talker, also made an effort to play along.

He had not previously understood the sadness and discomfort of a husband parting with his wife.

At this very moment, he was truly experiencing it for the first time.

This feeling was just too uncomfortable!

Lin Qiu and Song Zhiya both understood Lin Xia’s forced cheerfulness, so when it came time to make lunch, even Zhiya got busy in the kitchen, helping out where she could.

Lin Xia was finally amused by the two of them squinting their eyes and jokingly chided, "What are you two eyeing each other for?"

Zhiya giggled as she came up close to Lin Xia and whispered, "Lin Xia! When your man leaves, you’ve still got us to keep you company!"

"Yeah, sis! Don’t feel bad! After the New Year’s over, you can go to my brother-in-law’s place, it will be alright!" Lin Qiu knew that her sister and brother-in-law were very close, and naturally, it would be hard for them to part so soon after getting married.

"I’m not as fragile as you guys think!" Lin Xia glared and started ordering them around, "Hurry up, cousin, go peel the garlic; Xiaoqiu, scoop out a couple of pickled vegetables..."
