Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 579 - 578: Happy

Chapter 579: Chapter 578: Happy

"It’s okay, wife! I’ve got plenty of strength! These bags are no big deal."

Lu Zheng smiled happily, even showing a big set of white teeth.

Now, in front of Lin Xia, he didn’t have any of his usual seriousness or coldness; he was like a large dog wagging its tail.

After a few steps, Lu Zheng whispered in her ear, "Wife! I’ve missed you so much!"

Lin Xia couldn’t help her face heating up.

Even though they were married and were each other’s closest partners, the reunion after being apart for a while still made her somewhat shy.

But she didn’t want to keep her love hidden, unable to speak it, so she boldly said, "I missed you too!"

Hearing this, Lu Zheng became extremely happy and excitedly kissed Lin Xia on the cheek.

Lin Xia also started laughing along with him, thankful that it was deep into the night and very quiet, with no one around.

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng left the train station and saw the jeep in the night.

At that moment, the darkness around the small town station was dense, sketching out some silhouettes, both near and far.

In the howling cold wind, it felt eerily silent.

But Lin Xia wasn’t afraid at all, because she had Lu Zheng by her side, who gave her a mountain-like sense of security.

When they reached the car, Lu Zheng first opened the passenger door of the jeep, "Wife! You get in first."

After putting all the luggage in the back seat, Lu Zheng quickly walked around the front of the car to the driver’s seat, turned the key, and started the heating.

"Wife! I’ve missed you so much!"

Lu Zheng forcefully pulled Lin Xia into his arms, holding her tightly.

The time apart hadn’t been long, but it felt like an eternity to him.

He had eagerly anticipated her arrival.

Now that his wife had finally arrived, he was so joyful he could practically bubble over.

"I missed you too..." Lin Xia patted Lu Zheng, smiling sweetly.

During the separation, they had both missed each other dearly.

Now that they had finally met, it was natural to express their feelings of longing.

Suddenly, Lin Xia’s rationality snapped back into place.

Although there were hardly any people at the station, it would take some time to drive back to their unit.

In this cold weather, it was better to head back early.

"Xiaozheng!" Lin Xia pushed Lu Zheng away in motion.

Lu Zheng reluctantly let her go.

But he didn’t immediately return to the driver’s seat.

Instead, he stared deeply at Lin Xia with flames dancing in his profound eyes.

"Wife, I’m so glad you came."

Lin Xia’s face was full of smiles, "I feel great too. But let’s drive now!"

Lu Zheng looked at the shy Lin Xia beside him, his eyes and brows filled with an indulgent smile, "Alright, as you wish!"

As the car drove on, Lu Zheng kept glancing at Lin Xia.

Her face was flushed, igniting a fire in his heart.

Lu Zheng dared not look any longer, coughing lightly to disguise it, hoping to divert that impulsive feeling through conversation.

"Wife! Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry! I ate something on the train. How about you? Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry! How are Lin Chun and the others at home? Did you all have a good New Year?"

He had already learned over the phone that this year, Lin Xia and the others were planning to go back to Lin Aiguo’s place for the New Year.

"It’s good! It’s going alright!" Lin Xia didn’t want to bring up other matters with Lu Zheng, she smiled and asked him, "How about you? Was your New Year’s celebration interesting?"

She knew that the festive season often intensified feelings of homesickness, especially for those like Lu Zheng, who hadn’t gone home for the holidays; they had to ensure production while also managing everyone’s emotions.

"Not bad! On New Year’s Eve, there was a theatrical troupe performance, and everyone had the New Year’s Eve dinner together! It was lively!"

Lu Zheng spoke light-heartedly, but Lin Xia could guess the kind of atmosphere they had during the New Year’s celebration.

"Did you call Mom and the others? I made a call before New Year’s Eve, and I heard Dad came back from outside..."

Lu Zheng nodded, "I did talk! Mom even asked if you would visit them after leaving here!"

"Sure! I’ll go on your behalf to see the elders! Then, I’ll also get some goods on the way!" Lin Xia had already planned, she could stay at Lu Zheng’s workplace for about a week.

She would then go to the provincial city to see Shao Meirou and Shao Chengzhi.

This year was her first year of marriage with Lu Zheng, and if Lu Zheng hadn’t been unavoidably detained, they would have gone to celebrate the New Year together.

Along the way, they chatted casually, making time fly by quickly.

When they arrived at the guesthouse, Lin Xia got out of the car and looked at the small, two-storey building in front of her, where only a dim bulb at the doorway shone.

At this time, whoever it was, was probably deep in sleep.

Lu Zheng led Lin Xia into the guesthouse and directly upstairs.

Lin Xia followed behind Lu Zheng, careful to tread lightly.

Soon, they reached the previously arranged room’s door, and Lu Zheng used the key to open it.

Lin Xia understood his urgency, and she smiled without saying a word.

Once inside and the lights were on, Lu Zheng put down his things, turned around, and looked at Lin Xia, who sat gracefully on the edge of the bed.

They say beauty is best seen under the light, and his wife, who was already beautiful, seemed even more enchanting at this moment.

He couldn’t help but go forward and embrace her, "Wife! You smell wonderful!"

"Wait! I haven’t even washed my hands and face yet!" Lin Xia playfully pushed him away.

Lu Zheng immediately sprung up like a spring and went over to the washstand by the door, grabbing the thermos filled with hot water and pouring it into the enamel basin.

Lin Xia, looking at his back, felt a sweetness in her heart as if she had tasted honey, her lips curling into a smile.

After Lu Zheng finished preparing the water, Lin Xia stood up, took off her coat, and bent down to wash her face.

While she was busy, Lu Zheng hung up her coat and straightened the bed.

The guesthouse bed was not very wide, only about 1.20 meters.

Although Lu Zheng was tall, Lin Xia was quite slender, and just fit right in his embrace, making it possible for them to sleep together comfortably.

As Lin Xia took out a towel and face cloth from her bag, he quickly carried the basin out to empty it.

After Lin Xia dried her face, she purposely looked in the mirror, observing her rosy cheeks and eyes that sparkled as if washed by water.

She cutely pouted at the mirror and couldn’t help but laugh at herself.

When Lu Zheng came back and saw Lin Xia had already laid down under the covers, his smile broadened.

"Wife!" His wife was indeed quick to cooperate.

Lin Xia felt like laughing, but considering it was the middle of the night and not wanting to disturb anyone, she opted for a quiet giggle instead.

Lu Zheng locked the door, and quickly undressed.

Lin Xia thus had a feast for her eyes.

Lu Zheng turned off the light, flipped back the covers, and joined her under the covers.

"Wife! I’ve missed you so much!"

"Me too!"

The next morning, when Lin Xia slowly woke up, Lu Zheng was no longer by her side.

Wrapped in the blanket, Lin Xia sat up, looking bewildered. She was so tired and had slept deeply, completely unaware of when Lu Zheng had gotten up and left.
