After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Lu Zhaoyi regretted asking the question immediately. Isn’t this the same as asking him, “Who do you prefer: me or your original partner?”

Li Xiao said, “My imagination is just that—my imagination. You are real, and of course, I prefer you, the actual person. My imagination and you are too different.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi’s heart blossomed with joy.

Hahaha, scum gong, your wife said he prefers me! You lost big time! And I, I won completely!

Lu Zhaoyi rarely forgot his CEO persona, and the joy on his face was undisguised, which Li Xiao naturally noticed.

“President Lu, you’re so happy?” Li Xiao asked him.

“Xiaoxiao,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “You are so cute. Come here and let me kiss you, or you can kiss me, too. The choice is yours.”

Li Xiao immediately smiled: “I want to kiss you.”

Lu Zhaoyi embraced him and then exchanged a deep kiss with him. After they separated, Lu Zhaoyi told him, “As you wish.”

Lu Zhaoyi lay down beside Li Xiao and asked him, “Do you really want to come to Yuehe with me tomorrow?”

“Does President Lu find me troublesome?” Li Xiao said. “I’ll draw quietly and won’t disturb your work.”

“Xiaoxiao, don’t overthink it,” Lu Zhaoyi told him. “It’s not about you. I just feel restless, for some reason.”

Hearing this, Li Xiao lightly kissed his cheek: “President Lu, please don’t worry.”

“Okay,” Lu Zhaoyi hugged him. “I won’t worry. After all, you’re here.”

Saying that, Lu Zhaoyi was still worried. He felt, inexplicably, that something would happen. He often recalled the plot of the original book, but unfortunately, the novel was so poorly written, the plot was fragmented, and the romantic scenes made no sense. Trying to find useful information was like searching for a needle in a haystack; Lu Zhaoyi was completely lost.

I swear! I’m not thinking about it anymore. When you encounter difficulty, take a good nap!

The next day, when Lu Zhaoyi woke up, he found that Li Xiao was already fully dressed.

“Xiaoxiao, why are you up so early?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Did you already wash up this early?”

“Mhm,” Li Xiao said. “I got up when I woke up. Luckily, I didn’t wake you.”

Lu Zhaoyi was stunned: “Xiaoxiao, you are too thoughtful.”

Li Xiao smiled: “I’ve also prepared breakfast. President Lu, you can eat it as soon as you’re done washing up.”

“Oh,” Lu Zhaoyi asked in surprise, “You made it?”

“Yes,” Li Xiao said. “Since I was up anyway, and I didn’t have anything else to do, I made it myself. I hope you like it.”

Lu Zhaoyi immediately became anxious: “Your health isn’t good. Did you eat something before cooking?”

Li Xiao was surprised, then shook his head. Lu Zhaoyi instantly became more nervous: “Xiaoxiao, are you alright?”

“I just haven’t eaten for a little while. I’m fine,” Li Xiao said. “I’ll wait for you to eat breakfast together.”

Lu Zhaoyi was originally going to take his time, but hearing Li Xiao say that, he got up immediately. Lu Zhaoyi quickly finished washing up, then took a bottle of perfume from the shelf and sprayed it twice. It was the one Li Xiao was wearing today, which Lu Zhaoyi could tell from the scent on him.

Li Xiao liked sweet scents, while Lu Zhaoyi preferred woody scents, but thinking that he was going to the company with Li Xiao today, he chose the exact same scent as Li Xiao. This made it feel as if they were more unified.

When he finished washing up and went out, Li Xiao was still waiting for him in the same spot.

“Xiaoxiao,” Lu Zhaoyi told him, “I’m ready. Let’s go eat breakfast together.”

“Okay,” Li Xiao nodded, closing his tablet.

While he was doing this, Lu Zhaoyi walked to his side, helped him up, and they walked to the dining room together.

Lu Zhaoyi had always known Li Xiao was a good cook, but honestly, Lu Zhaoyi would rather see Li Xiao draw. The fact that he personally made breakfast today made Lu Zhaoyi feel how much effort Li Xiao put in just by thinking about it.

The thought that Li Xiao preferred him over the scum gong made Lu Zhaoyi even happier, which somewhat dispelled his earlier worries.

To heck with the restlessness! I’m going to properly taste Li Xiao’s cooking! It’s been so long, I’m even missing it a little!

Li Xiao looked at him cautiously. Lu Zhaoyi smiled: “You made it, you taste it first.”

Li Xiao asked, “Doesn’t President Lu like it?”

Lu Zhaoyi rubbed his head: “How could that be? I’m quite eager to start, but Xiaoxiao, you’ve been working so hard, it’s only right that you taste it first. How could I possibly start before you?”

Li Xiao nodded when he heard his words: “Okay.”

Lu Zhaoyi only picked up his chopsticks after Li Xiao swallowed the first bite.

“Delicious,” Lu Zhaoyi highly praised. “Xiaoxiao truly has divine cooking skills.”

Li Xiao’s face immediately broke into a smile. Before leaving, Lu Zhaoyi looked over Li Xiao carefully again.

Seeing him do this, Li Xiao asked, “What’s wrong, President Lu?”

“Nothing,” Lu Zhaoyi thought: I can’t exactly tell you that I’m a little nervous.

“Okay.” Li Xiao held his hand a little tighter.

After getting in the car, Li Xiao rested his head on Lu Zhaoyi’s shoulder, a gesture they were both accustomed to.

Lu Zhaoyi and Li Xiao arrived at the base of the Yuehe building. Lu Zhaoyi rarely looked up at the building, then told Li Xiao, “Let’s go, Xiaoxiao.”

“Mhm.”

Because they woke up early, Lu Zhaoyi and Li Xiao didn’t arrive too late. Many employees were also rushing to work.

Seeing Lu Zhaoyi, they all greeted him: “Good morning, President Lu.”

Lu Zhaoyi nodded and said to Li Xiao, “Xiaoxiao, let’s go in.”

He led Li Xiao into the building. Lu Zhaoyi didn’t take the CEO’s private elevator but took the same one as the employees with Li Xiao. With Lu Zhaoyi present, none of the employees in the elevator dared to speak, fearing they might say something inappropriate and offend him.

“Xiaoxiao,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Did anyone bump into you?”

Li Xiao smiled: “There aren’t many people. President Lu doesn’t need to be so careful.”

Seeing the way the two interacted, the employees all had their own guesses, but with Lu Zhaoyi right there, they had to suppress their gossiping minds.

Only after all the employees had left the elevator did Li Xiao laugh: “President Lu, they are all so afraid of you.”

Lu Zhaoyi said, “Maybe it’s because I look scary.”

“Nonsense,” Li Xiao still smiled. “President Lu is so handsome; how could you scare anyone?”

“Are you that happy?” Lu Zhaoyi said.

“Mhm,” Li Xiao said. “Did President Lu take me on this elevator just so everyone could see me?”

“You’re so smart,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao is my treasure. I was afraid they wouldn’t recognize you.”

Li Xiao leaned in and kissed his cheek: “Thank you, President Lu.”

Lu Zhaoyi smiled and entered the CEO’s office with Li Xiao.

“Xiaoxiao, feel free to look around. You can sit anywhere you like,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “You can even sit at my desk if you want.”

Li Xiao laughed: “I don’t know how to do anything. President Lu can’t slack off like that, can you?”

“Hey,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, write my name and let me see.”

“Huh?” Li Xiao asked. “Why would President Lu make such a request?”

Lu Zhaoyi said, “If it looks similar, you can sign those documents.”

“Pffft,” Li Xiao said. “Who does things like that?”

“Being a corporate slave is hard work,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I was just making a joke to make you happy.”

Lu Zhaoyi said he could look around, but he actually personally led Li Xiao on a tour. The lounge inside the office was large and even had a dedicated bar area. Li Xiao said, “I’ll make you a drink later.”

“Good,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “They always keep the ingredients here fresh, but I haven’t used them yet.”

Li Xiao said, “Then I’ll consider them prepared for me.”

Lu Zhaoyi smiled: “That’s acceptable, too.”

Lu Zhaoyi sat down at his desk, while Li Xiao opened his digital tablet and sat on the sofa to draw.

During a break from watching videos, Lu Zhaoyi reminded him: “Xiaoxiao, looking at the screen like that is too bad for your eyes. Maybe find something else to divert your attention.”

After he said this, Li Xiao stared straight at him.

Lu Zhaoyi smiled and asked, “Am I the distraction you’re looking for?”

“Can I be?” Li Xiao asked him with blinking foxy eyes.

“Come here, little fox,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Come to my arms.”

Li Xiao smiled and walked over to him. Lu Zhaoyi embraced him and exchanged a deep kiss.

After they separated, Li Xiao said, “President Lu, you smell so good.”

Lu Zhaoyi said, “That’s your scent.”

“I know.”

Lu Zhaoyi held him in his arms as they sat together, then gently flicked his nose, his tone full of affection: “Shameless.”

“Mhm,” Li Xiao said. “My heart is full of you.”

Lu Zhaoyi pointed his gaze at the stack of documents on the desk: “Look at this.”

Li Xiao shook his head: “I won’t look.”

Lu Zhaoyi said, “Xiaoxiao, if you look at the documents, I can look at you. That’s a fair trade.”

“Then President Lu help me draw,” Li Xiao said.

“Forget it,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “My stick figures are quite ugly. You’ll probably laugh at me.”

“I won’t,” Li Xiao immediately replied to him.

“That’s because you’re a good person,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I know my own limits.”

“Every profession has its specialties; you don’t need to belittle yourself,” Li Xiao said with a smile.

Lu Zhaoyi said, “I wouldn’t do that. I know I’m amazing.”

Li Xiao met his eyes, then asked, “Then can I try it?”

Lu Zhaoyi almost blurted out a swear word: “In broad daylight, what are you talking about? Xiaoxiao, you don’t need to be so eager.”

“President Lu,” Li Xiao said. “I…”

“Talk to me about this when your health is better,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Don’t think about it now.”

“President Lu…”

“Other things are negotiable, but not this,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Be obedient.”

He accompanied Li Xiao back to the sofa, then lightly kissed his forehead, saying with affection: “Babe, be a good boy.”

Li Xiao said, “Other people like to say ‘babe’ or ‘baby.’ Why does President Lu say ‘Beibei’?”

“To show you that I’m different from others,” Lu Zhaoyi replied.
