Chapter 45: Exposing the Heart (2)

  Lu Zhengdong read a lot from Lin Donghe's words and expression, Lin Donghe's feelings towards him evolved from gratitude to admiration and then to love, and he also understood what Lin Donghe meant by saying that she wouldn't give him trouble.

  Lin Donghe doesn't care about fame or reputation, she just wants to love for the sake of love, and live a life without any other extravagant hopes.

  Lu Zhengdong is not a saint, and when it comes to beautiful women showing affection, he must also be overjoyed in his heart, and doesn't want to push her away. However, the more Lin Donghe treats him this way, the more he feels that he should cherish her even more, and the more he cannot bear to hurt her. Moreover, if it weren't for Lin Donghe returning to their hometown when he was ill, and his mother not coming, perhaps in this lifetime, he wouldn't have been able to change his mother's fate of passing away. Just because of this, he should treat her well.

  Lin Donghe finished speaking with a burst of courage, then lowered her head. Seeing that Lu Zhengdong hadn't spoken, she felt very anxious in her heart. She wanted to lift her head and take a look at Lu Zhengdong's expression, but was afraid of seeing something she didn't want to see. Just as she was feeling uneasy, she suddenly felt a large hand placed on her body, then the hand gently pulled her into that warm and broad embrace:

  "Winter sister, since you've made up your mind to start a new life, it will soon bring new birth. You'll find that in front of you is a completely different world from before. Give yourself some time, think carefully, you're only two years older than me, real life has just begun, don't leave true regrets for yourself because of impulsive decisions; if the feelings are long-lasting, why worry about the present moment? Anyway, there's no rush at this moment, take your time to think again and make a decision, okay?"

  Lu Zhengdong's hand rested on her soft shoulder, the smooth sensation transmitted from his fingertips was so comfortable. His other hand gently stroked her smooth hair, soft and fragrant. Lu Zhengdong breathed in contentedly the faint scent of Lin Donghe's body, feeling the softness and fragrance of the jade-like skin, without too much desire, but this feeling was extremely comfortable.

  Lu Zhengdong thought to himself, ***, Ah, it's good that we have this ambiguous feeling, without any burden, but if we really break through the barrier between men and women, I'm afraid we won't have this wonderful feeling anymore.

  Giving Lin Donghe a chance is also giving myself a chance? Lu Zhengdong thought for a moment and said:

  "When the time comes, no matter what, I will let you bid farewell to your past and live a happy and blissful life... You also know that I always keep my promises..."

  Lin Donghe's heart skipped a beat when she heard Lu Zhengdong's words, and her face lit up with a sweet smile as she leaned against his chest. She thought to herself that she wanted to be held like this for the rest of her life. Just a moment ago, she had mustered up the courage to say those words, but now that she had calmed down, she felt embarrassed about how bold she had been. Those words that were usually hidden in her heart had all come out, and now she couldn't bring herself to speak again, only nodding heavily several times.

  Lu Zhengdong saw that Lin Donghua's emotions had stabilized, and looking at the slender and tall Lin Donghua in his arms with a bird-like dependence, he couldn't help but smile slightly. This big bird-like dependent person really has a unique charm, and his heart is also filled with warmth. He thought of Lin Donghua's home and remembered the encounter with his younger brother, so he said:

  "When I went to your hometown, I met your younger brother. Hmm, he seems more down-to-earth than before. The branch secretary in your village also said so..."

  Lin Donghe was also quite happy when he heard it:

  "Really? I also didn't say much about him, but he just wouldn't listen. He was able to make such a change, it's all thanks to you..."

  Lu Zhengdong smiled and said:

  "What did I do? External factors are secondary, internal factors are the most important, and he himself figured out some things... Ah, right, originally planned to go to your house for dinner that day, but due to road repairs, I was arguing with Lin Dongguo's people and didn't make it..."

  Lin Donghe felt somewhat downcast upon hearing this:

  "It's a good thing you didn't go, or else there wouldn't even be a place for you to set foot in my home..."

  Lu Zhengdong knew that Lin Donghe's family conditions were probably very poor, and Lin Donghe was still a bit embarrassed, shaking his head and saying:

  "Haha, who said that? I heard your family has a hot spring, that's a great thing! Even rich people can't easily have something like that. I'd love to go and experience it for myself."

  Lu Zhengdong said, gently patting her back:

  "Everything will be alright... However, there's one thing I need to criticize you for..."

  Lin Donghe heard that Lu Zhengdong wanted to criticize her, and she quickly raised her head, but in her heart, she didn't know what she had done wrong either, looking at him with some confusion.

  "How did you get your parents to sell the family's pig for the New Year? How are they going to live next year then? Your parents' health wasn't good to begin with, how can they withstand this? Honestly, I was telling you, there's no rush to use this money, it was originally meant to be returned to your younger brother, but when he saw me, he ran away as fast as a mouse seeing a cat..."

  Lu Zhengdong said, letting go of Lin Donghe without leaving any marks. Holding onto such a sexy thing all the time, even gods would find it hard to bear.

  Lu Zhengdong took out a stack of money from his bag and saw Lin Donghe still wanting to decline, so he put it into Lin Donghe's hands without saying a word.

  "Your parents' health is important, if you really exhaust your body, won't all the hardships you've endured be for nothing? I just said it a moment ago, no matter what, I want to see you happy and content, how could you forget so quickly?"

  Lin Donghe nodded, didn't say anything, turned around and poured him another cup of boiling water, after settling him in, she then went out the door...

  After Lin Donghe left, Lu Zhengdong was still a bit excited and couldn't sleep even after tossing and turning in bed.

  In his heart, he thought that Lin Donghua was really going to leave the Zhuji Factory. His mother would be even more worried if she were alone, and he had accompanied her to the city hospital for a check-up and used folk remedies to treat her, but the effect was minimal. His mother's body still didn't show much improvement. He had always advised his mother to go to Beijing to find a specialist in a large hospital for a thorough diagnosis and treatment, but his mother still hadn't resolved her knot with her father-in-law's family. She knew that once she arrived in Beijing, she would inevitably have to meet people from her father-in-law's family, so she just verbally agreed, but didn't take any action.

  Lu Zhengdong thought for a moment, since his mother didn't want to go to Beijing, he would try to find time before the Spring Festival to accompany her to a big hospital in the provincial city for a check-up. As for helping his mother return to her father's house, he would think of a way to do some more work on his mother...
