Chapter 348 - This... Was Too Sudden
After dinner, Lu Xun walked his friend over to the lobby. He watched as Zhang Yu Han helped his kids into their car seat and then, his wife into the passenger's seat.
A faint smile curled on his lips, thinking of how this friend had become a family man.
Lu Xun could still remember how a few girls would try to get along with Zhang Yu Han in college. However, those girls were rejected.
Everyone had thought that Zhang Yu Han did not like women.
However, Zhang Yu Han told him that he already had someone he liked. The girl was someone that he had seen once during his high school basketball tournament. But afterward, they never met again.
Lu Xun had thought that Zhang Yu Han was crazy. He did not expect that his friend would find the girl, marry her, and had kids.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhang Yu Han spoke. His eyes narrowed as he gave Lu Xun a lookover.
"Nothing."
"You're leaving to Capital City tomorrow?"
Lu Xun nodded. "Our flight is in the evening."
"I'll arrange for someone to send you over to the airport."
"Thank you."
Zhang Yu Han turned around and hesitated before he spoke again, "I know that you probably did not want to hear this, but Lu Xun, you still have to be careful with Anna."
His brow rose. "What do you mean?"
After everything, Lu Xun believed that Shi An Na would stop looking after him again. He had announced it loud and clear that the person he love and wanted to marry was Song Xing Xing and no one else.
"You know that she had quit her job and returned to her parents' house a while ago, right?" He paused briefly and continued again, "Earlier today, I heard that her parents has been looking for her again. It seemed that she went missing."
Lu Xun pursed his lips into a thin line. He was unhappy to hear this person's name again. "Perhaps she decided to leave after everything."
"It would be good if she really leave. But still, you needed to be careful. I don't know what's wrong with her but it would be better not to get yourself into trouble."
"I know." Lu Xun patted Zhang Yu Han on his shoulder. "Thank you."
After exchanging a few more words, Lu Xun watched as the vehicle disappeared from his sight. Turning around, Lu Xun began to think about Zhang Yu Han's words.
When he looked up again, Lu Xun saw that his mother was waiting for him in the lobby area. He snapped out of his trance and walked over to his mother. "Mom, what are you doing here?"
"I ate too much and decided to walk around," Zhen Wen Yu said. "I saw that you were chatting with Yu Han and decided to wait for you and go up together."
A helpless sigh escaped him. "Where's dad?"
"He went back to the room. He received an email from his co-workers and wanted to reply to them urgently."
Lu Xun raised a brow as he looked at his mother again. "Should I accompany you for a walk?"
"I've walked enough. I want to go up and rest."
He nodded and walked with his mother to the elevator.
"Xing Xing seemed very close with Yu Han's family as well."
"Uh-huh. Yu Han's wife and Xing Xing's cousin's wife were good friends. They often meet and hang around together."
Zhen Wen Yu nodded. "So that's why that little girl liked Xing Xing very much."
"Xing Xing is very good with kids. They like to play around with her."
Now that she thought about it, Zhen Wen Yu realized that her grandson, Jia Xuan seemed pretty close with Song Xing Xing as well. Zhen Wen Yu already had a grandson. It would be best if she could have a cute granddaughter next.
The mother and son stood in front of the elevator. Zhen Wen Yu glanced at her son and asked, "You and Xing Xing, are you planning to have a child as well?"
Lu Xun stared back at his mother in shock. This was definitely not the question he would expect his mother to ask.
Lu Xun scratched the tip of his nose. "Mom, this matter... I haven't discussed it with Xing Xing about it."
Her lips curled into a small smile. "Alright. Don't think of me as a busybody. Mom was just asking for your plan. Moreover, you are not that young. Seeing Yu Han with his wife and kids made me worry about you. But I understand. It was hard for you to finally find someone who wanted to spend her life with you."
The elevator arrived and the mother and son walked in together. Lu Xun pressed the button and turned to his mother again.
Zhen Wen Yu heaved a light sigh. "I think I'm getting greedier. It was hard for me to finally have a daughter-in-law. Now, I'm looking forward to having another grandchild."
Lu Xun chuckled. "Mom, Xing Xing is still young. Moreover, we haven't dated for a long time. I think I wanted to wait for a while."
Zhen Wen Yu gave her son a sidelong glance. "I think you are just afraid that you will have to fight for your wife's affection with your child."
His mother's words almost made him choke on his saliva. "Mom..."
Fortunately, the elevator finally stopped at their floor. The mother and son walked out and Lu Xun accompanied his mother until he reached her room. Once he had watched her go inside, Lu Xun finally turned to his room.
When he walked in, Song Xing Xing was seating lazily on the sofa with her hand holding her phone. The background music told him that she was playing 'Legend of the Sky'.
"You're back." Song Xing Xing put her phone on the coffee table and walked over to him. "What took you so long?"
"Mmm... I had something to discuss with Yu Han earlier." He took off his coat and threw it on the sofa. "Why didn't you go to bed first?"
He remembered seeing her yawning a few times during dinner and had asked her to return to the room first. The two of them had traveled from Capital City on short notice and had run around once they arrived in Y City. It was not strange if Song Xing Xing was a little tired.
"Waiting for you." She stood on tiptoed and pressed her lips on the corner of her lips. "Go on and get change."
Lu Xun tugged at her arms before Song Xing Xing could turn around to the bedroom. He wrapped his arms around her waist and looked into her eyes. "I ran into my mom in the lobby just now and we chatted a little bit."
"What did you talk about?"
"Mom was asking me if we have any plan to have a child soon."
It took her a while to process his words. But once his words registered into her mind, Song Xing Xing's face turned a little red slightly.
This... was too sudden.
Moreover... Why is Lu Xun's mother is the same as her mother?
"Then, what did you say?"
"I told her that I wanted to wait."
"Oh." Song Xing Xing heaved.
"But Xing Xing, what do you think? When do you think you want to have a baby?"
"You... Why are you asking me this?"
"Of course, I would want your opinion. After all, this is a matter that concerned both of us." Lu Xun continued to stare at the person in his arms, enjoying the shy look on her face. "Hmm?"
Song Xing Xing wanted to hide away but Lu Xun was holding her tightly. It doesn't seem that she will have the chance to escape. It took her a while to speak again. "I think... it's better to let fate decide."
Lu Xun thought that her answer was amusing. His grip around her waist tightened. If it was not because he had tortured her early in the morning, Lu Xun thought that he would really want to let fate decide for them right now.
He suppressed that emotion and slowly let her go. "Then, let's discuss this again after the wedding."
Finding her chance, Song Xing Xing quickly made her escape.
