Chapter 584: Chapter 583: Don’t Worry About Me

After the meal, Lu Zheng asked Lin Xia, "Wife! Where else do you want to go?"

During the New Year period, because the unit had production tasks, the busy work hadn’t lessened.

Therefore, since Lin Xia’s arrival, this was their first time going out.

He finally had a day off today, so naturally, he wanted to spend it with Lin Xia.

Lin Xia, full and content, adopted a lazy demeanor. "It’s so cold outside, there doesn’t seem to be anywhere else to go, right?

How about we go back? I’m a bit sleepy!" she said, and quite fittingly, yawned.

Lin Xia thought to herself that indeed eating too much greasy food could make one sleepy.

If Lu Zheng were to take her shopping again, she’d rather go back to sleep.

Lu Zheng couldn’t help but chuckle, as he had actually wanted to take Lin Xia out for a stroll.

Now seeing her genuinely showing signs of tiredness, her eyes brimming with tears from yawning, how could he have the heart to insist on dragging her along?

"Alright! Then let’s go back!"

So, the two of them took their spoils of war and drove back to the guest house.

On the way, Lin Xia couldn’t resist the call of the Sandman and dozed off for a little while.

When they got back to the room, Lin Xia felt groggy. "I’m going to sleep for a bit!"

Without minding what Lu Zheng would do, she immediately took off her thick clothes, pulled back the covers, and crawled into bed.

Lu Zheng playfully bent over by the bed, teasing her, "Aren’t you going to interrogate me? I’m prepared for anything! However you want to question me is fine!"

Lin Xia knew he was teasing her, and with a mixture of shyness and annoyance, waved her hand at him. "Stop it! I’m really sleepy right now. Let’s talk after I’ve had enough sleep!"

Lu Zheng knew the guest house wasn’t very warm, and surely the blankets she just got under weren’t warm either.

It wasn’t long before he too drew the curtains, took off his clothes, and got into bed.

Lin Xia watched him warily, "What are you doing?"

Look at her defensive little demeanor!

Lu Zheng almost laughed out loud. What could he possibly do to her in broad daylight?

"Wife! I’m sleepy too!"

At first, Lin Xia thought he was up to something, but when she saw that all he did was let her rest her head on his arm and properly cuddled up to sleep, she slowly felt at ease.

The room was silent and peaceful, and the feeling of having a personal heater beside her was nice. Lin Xia gradually drifted off into a drowsy sleep.

A good while later, Lu Zheng still hadn’t fallen asleep.

He gazed at the sleeping face of the little person in his arms, feeling like he could never get enough of looking at her.

It wasn’t the first time he had noticed how extraordinarily long Lin Xia’s eyelashes were when closed, and each time he noticed, he really wanted to gently touch them, to feel that peculiar sensation.

Her skin was pale and luminous, a healthy kind of pinkish white.

And those cherry-red lips were slightly upturned, as if smiling in invitation.

Unable to help himself, he touched the corner of her lips, just to see her murmur in her sleep, half-awake, half-asleep; in the end, he didn’t have the heart to really wake her up.

Lu Zheng turned his head, looking at the white ceiling.

A moment later, he finally let out a gentle sigh.

Even without doing anything, just holding this soft, fragrant, and warm beauty in his arms, he felt infinitely content.

In a few days, she would have to leave, and deep down, he really didn’t want her to go.

That night, the two lay in bed chatting, snuggled together in the covers.

Lu Zheng saw Lin Xia’s bright eyes darting about, wondering what she was pondering.

Curious, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Xiaozheng! I’m wondering if I might get pregnant this time?"

Lin Xia understood that having children should happen naturally, but she couldn’t help raising her hopes.

The bit of worry in her heart, she hadn’t revealed even a hint to Lu Zheng thus far.

Without children, a short time can be excusable, but if there’s no movement for a while, she feared she might have difficulty conceiving.

Lu Zheng didn’t quite understand why Lin Xia was so anxious to get pregnant.

How long had they been married anyway?

"Do you really want to get pregnant that quickly? Actually, I don’t want you to have children when I’m not by your side!"

"But I really do want it! You see, after getting married, the next natural step is to have children! Married life isn’t like dating when you can ignore these matters.

Plus, you’re not getting any younger, you’re already 30 years old. If you’re not in a hurry, your parents probably are!

On my trip back to the provincial city, with you absent, dad returned to his unit, leaving me alone to face your mother. I don’t know if your mother will bring up this topic..." Lin Xia thought any mother-in-law would be concerned about this matter.

"Mom probably won’t pressure you, but even if she does say something, you shouldn’t take it too much to heart.

Because having a child isn’t something one can just decide to have, it’s often down to fate..."

"Okay, I understand. Don’t worry..."

In fact, facing Shao Meirou, Lin Xia wanted to put past grievances aside and get along with her well.

But since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships have been like that, not so easy to manage.

Lu Zheng wasn’t worried about anything else; he knew that although his mother had been particularly opposed to his relationship with Lin Xia initially;

But ever since they got married, his mother’s impression of Lin Xia had improved.

And during the New Year’s call, when the topic of children came up, she personally told him that they should let nature take its course and not be too anxious.

What he was most worried about was his grandmother’s family, because he was very clear about some past issues.

Whether it was his grandmother or his aunt, they both had a big problem with Lin Xia.

Although he didn’t blame Lin Xia and didn’t think those issues were her fault,

Those people were still very stubborn, blaming everything on Lin Xia.

Therefore, he was very anxious that in his absence, Lin Xia’s visit might face difficulties.

This year, being with Lu Zheng, Lin Xia felt very happy and blessed.

Even though Lu Zheng was busy during the day and they mostly spent nights together, she still found it incredibly sweet.

Unfortunately, no matter how joyful the brief reunion, they still had to face separation.

A few days later, Lin Xia left Lu Zheng to catch the midnight train to the provincial city to visit Shao Meirou and the others.

Despite his reluctance to let go, Lu Zheng silently saw Lin Xia off on the train.

As they parted, Lu Zheng didn’t forget to remind Lin Xia, "Wife! If anyone says anything unpleasant, you don’t have to consider my feelings, and you can respond as you see fit!"

He didn’t want Lin Xia to suffer in silence because of him.

Lin Xia understood Lu Zheng’s concerns and playfully smiled, "Don’t worry! Am I a pushover? I definitely won’t let myself be bullied or aggrieved!

Moreover, didn’t you say your grandma is getting better now? In that case, what can they criticize me for?

If I go and someone says something nasty, then I’ll just leave without eating. Besides, I can’t stay too long because I shouldn’t be away from home for too long..."

Reluctantly, Lu Zheng put Lin Xia on the train, and they parted with regret.

Both understood that this farewell meant not knowing when they would meet again.

Neither showed the hurtful expression, both presenting a smiling face to the other...
