Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 657 - 656: Speak Up!

Chapter 657: Chapter 656: Speak Up!

Lin Xia nodded lightly, knowing that Yang Wanmeng had seen the sausage in her hand, but since Hao Xiaoyun had given it to her, she couldn’t say much else.

She turned the key to open her own apartment door.

Hao Xiaoyun noticed Yang Wanmeng’s gaze but didn’t mention anything, "You’re going out, aren’t you!"

Yang Wanmeng curved her lips, "I’m going for a walk, then off to the cafeteria!"

As Hao Xiaoyun had expected, Lu Zheng and the others returned to the unit on the eve of National Day.

Lin Xia looked at Lu Zheng, who was bursting with vitality, albeit slightly darker, and the heavy stone in her heart finally settled.

"You’re finally back!" Her voice sweetened involuntarily upon seeing him.

Lu Zheng, delighted, held Lin Xia tight, kissing her several times before staring at her with a mischievous grin and asking, "Wife! Have you missed me these days? Was it lonely at home without me, hard to sleep with an empty pillow?"

It was somewhat easier when they weren’t together all day; he could control himself then.

But ever since Lin Xia came here, they spent every night lost in joy, and he seemed unable to bear being without her!

Without her head on his arm as she fell asleep, without her curled up like a little kitten in his arms, he always felt like something was missing and couldn’t sleep!

Latter, Old Li noticed his emotional turmoil and purposely suggested he exercise more to fall asleep immediately!

"Yes! I missed you so much!" Lin Xia sniffed his familiar scent vigorously, feeling grounded and secure.

Lu Zheng let go of Lin Xia and scooped her up by the waist, "I missed you terribly, wife!"

Lin Xia exclaimed, "Hey! Stop messing around! What time is it!"

The lust in her man’s eyes was something she knew all too well.

She feared his mind was fixed on only one thing now!

"What does the time matter! There’s no one else at home!" Lu Zheng, overtaken by his feelings, couldn’t care less about anything else.

Lin Xia, understanding of his hardship from the business trip, did not protest, but as Lu Zheng quickly carried her toward the bedroom, she hurriedly reminded him, "The curtains!"

During the day, and on the second floor, with the curtains not drawn, she didn’t have the heart for it.

But she also knew, pulling the curtains during the day, anyone who saw them would know what was happening.

Yet, what could she say facing a man starved of affection?

Lu Zheng gently placed Lin Xia on the bed, then hurried to draw the curtains before turning to pounce on his wife with a fierce grin.

"Wife! Here I come!"

"Ouch! Be gentle!" Lin Xia’s words were cut short as she was silenced by him.

The temperature in the room kept rising, just as Lu Zheng let out a contented sigh, an ill-timed knock sounded at the door!

Lin Xia pushed Lu Zheng slightly, "Someone is knocking at the door! Go check it!"

"No! Wife! Ignore it!" Lu Zheng, stubbornly set in his ways, cursed inwardly, who could be so blind as to knock at such a moment?

It was terribly unfair! Didn’t they know it was like a honeymoon for them?

Lin Xia disagreed as she heard the knocking sound again, even hearing Nie Siming’s voice.

People knew they were home, wouldn’t it be odd not to answer the door?

"Oh! Stop it..." Lin Xia, both embarrassed and annoyed, pounded on his solid arm, "Hurry up!"

Seeing Lin Xia’s displeasure, Lu Zheng could only get up, "Wife! Don’t be mad! I’m going, alright!"

He irritably put on his pants and vest to answer the door, and as he stepped out of the bedroom, he also carefully closed the bedroom door behind him.

Lin Xia quickly dressed herself, wondering what Nie Siming could need at their home.

In the living room, Nie Siming followed Lu Zheng inside.

Upon seeing Lu Zheng’s displeasure and the tightly closed bedroom door, he immediately understood the situation.

He felt extremely embarrassed!

He hadn’t expected that Lu Zheng would move so quickly once he got home.

But thinking about it, he could understand.

When Lu Zheng saw the elusive smirk at the corner of his mouth, yet he didn’t explain his intentions, his irritation grew even more, "Spit it out already!"

Nie Siming chuckled, knowing if he didn’t hurry up and speak, Lu Zheng was definitely going to throw a fit next!

"My wife wants to eat the sausages made by your wife! I think since she loves them so much, why not make some ourselves!

So I came over to ask when your wife has time, and what all we need to buy!"

Pregnant people always develop strange cravings; they constantly crave certain foods.

Yang Wanmeng kept nagging him about wanting to eat Lin Xia’s sausages, and he felt bad always taking advantage of others, planning to buy some elsewhere.

But then Yang Wanmeng mentioned the time Lin Xia helped Li Qingshui’s family with making sausages.

He thought that if he bought the meat and the ingredients, pleading with Lin Xia to help might just work.

That’s why he wanted to ask Lin Xia about how the sausages were made.

Usually, Lu Zheng would have agreed on Lin Xia’s behalf in a heartbeat.

This really wasn’t a big deal, but who let Nie Siming interrupt their good time?

"Your sister-in-law is busy! We’ll talk when she has time!" As for when that would be, it would depend on his mood!

Nie Siming, smiling, pointed at Lu Zheng, "Okay! Then I’ll wait until your sister-in-law has time!"

At that moment, Lin Xia came through the door.

She had been dressed and standing at the doorway without stepping out,

because if Nie Siming had come over to talk with Lu Zheng about work, she wouldn’t have wanted to come out.

But since it was about making sausages, it wouldn’t be good for her not to appear.

"I’m free! We still have plenty of spices at home, you just need to buy the meat and casings!"

"Alright! Thanks in advance, sister-in-law!" Nie Siming slickly slipped away, not forgetting to throw a teasing wink at Lu Zheng as he left.

Lu Zheng shot a sharp look back, signaling him to just wait and see!

Lin Xia stood by, watching the two grown men and couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.

Once Lu Zheng made sure the door was shut, he turned and strode towards Lin Xia, scooping her up in his arms, "Wife! No matter who knocks, we’re not answering!!"

"Okay!" Lin Xia looked at him and couldn’t help but find his demeanor utterly adorable, just like a big lion, huffing and puffing in annoyance...

Nie Siming got home, and as soon as he stepped in, Yang Wanmeng who was sitting on the sofa quickly got up and asked anxiously, "What did she say?"

"Sister-in-law said for us to buy the meat and casings, she’s got the spices!"

Yang Wanmeng smiled triumphantly, she knew it, Lin Xia wouldn’t refuse.

"Cool! Then tomorrow, have someone from the cafeteria help buy some back!"

"Sure!" Nie Siming looked at his wife, who looked pale due to the pregnancy, caressed his fingers and ultimately subdued the idea teasing his mind, feeling envious of Lu Zheng...

National Day, the theater group was coming down for a comfort performance.

By the time they arrived at Lu Zheng’s workplace, it was nearly noon.

So, they put their things away in the guest house and went to eat lunch in the cafeteria, planning to set up the stage afterward for the evening’s performance.

Meng Xiangzi was revisiting old places, filled with emotion.

In her previous life, after getting married, she had visited this place several times, but always felt it was isolated and austere.

After she and Lu Zheng divorced, Lu Zheng also transferred away from there.

She never came back...
