After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Lu Zhaoyi originally did not want to be overly involved with Li Xiao. Although Li Xiao was a beautiful man, his ambition lay elsewhere.

Over the past five years, Lu Zhaoyi had met all kinds of men but had never fallen for anyone. It was even more impossible now to abandon his principles just because Li Xiao was attractive.

At the company, Lu Zhaoyi reviewed documents and materials, quickly analyzing the assets and company status under his name.

Yuehe Technology, a leading enterprise in the city, had a business direction similar to his original company.

Lu Zhaoyi paused when he saw the work schedule. The original owner truly knew he was busy, so he had created a detailed table scheduling when and where to meet various young men.

Lu Zhaoyi just wanted to give the original owner a sarcastic “6” in his heart. Grandmas wouldn’t need help, but I salute you.

If you’re busy, can’t you just not sleep with young men? What a demon the original owner was.

Later that evening, Lu Zhaoyi received a message from Li Xiao. He had packed his luggage and moved into Xizhou New City. This apartment wasn’t close to the city center, but it was valuable for being a single-floor unit with a good view.

Lu Zhaoyi hadn’t forgotten that the young master was currently playing the poor role, so he quickly transferred two payments of 520,000 RMB (totaling 1.04 million RMB). The young master definitely wasn’t short on cash, but he had to pretend he didn’t know that for now.

The young master had certainly kept a low profile when he met him today, but he made one slip-up: his pair of earrings cost over six figures. Lu Zhaoyi had happened to see someone else in his circle wearing them before.

If he transferred some money to the young master, then Li Xiao could use the excuse that this was the money Lu Zhaoyi gave him when he wore high-priced jewelry or clothes later.

Lu Zhaoyi genuinely felt he was thoughtful, and then he realized: thoughtfulness was useless. The young master wanted love. But the problem was, he wasn’t the original owner. He couldn’t give him love, nor did he want to play the “abuse-wife-for-a-while, chase-wife-to-the-cremation-site” game.

He absolutely would not become a slave to desire, treating Li Xiao only as an outlet while leaving him anxious and secretly heartbroken.

Now that Li Xiao had moved to Xizhou, the best course of action was to take good care of him, go back to see him when he had time, and if Li Xiao really enjoyed the game of unrequited pursuit, then this arrangement would still count.

Lu Zhaoyi had always categorized people into two types: useful and useless. All other definitions were superimposed upon this standard.

Li Xiao was definitely the useful kind. If it weren’t for his infatuation, Li Xiao would truly be worthy of the phrase “Heaven’s favored son.”

This was probably why the author created Li Xiao this way. People like to worship gods but don’t necessarily love them. What ordinary people prefer to see is a god fall from the altar, and Li Xiao’s love at first sight for Lu Zhaoyi was the sign of his fall.

From then on, the three characters “Lu Zhaoyi” became Li Xiao’s cage, and he was willingly locked inside, not even wanting to move.

Li Xiao seemed intent on maintaining his persona of “being really short on money, which is why he chose to follow Lu Zhaoyi.” He quickly accepted the money. Lu Zhaoyi saw the notification and checked his phone. “The other party is typing” displayed for a long time, yet he never saw a single character from Li Xiao.

Hot tip: If you don’t know what to send, send an emoji! That’s much better than making me wait for ages and getting nothing back.

Lu Zhaoyi was a bit annoyed, so he didn’t wait for Li Xiao anymore. He directly sent a voice message: “If you need anything, ask me. I’ll give you anything.”

Lu Zhaoyi knew this had a flaw. What if Li Xiao replied: I want President Lu to like me? That would be a wreck.

But he knew Li Xiao wouldn’t. To maintain his impoverished persona, he would absolutely not dare to say such a thing.

Sure enough, Li Xiao replied with “Okay,” followed by “Thank you, President Lu.”

Lu Zhaoyi couldn’t help but feel smug. I’ve mastered manipulating people’s hearts.

The next moment, he realized that whether he mastered it or not wasn’t that important; he had transmigrated into a book…

Forget it, Lu Zhaoyi thought. Only idiots restrict themselves. I won’t do that.

After taking a shower that night, Lu Zhaoyi lay on the big bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. He had been sleeping originally, so why was he busy all day only to be sleeping again?

Who gets two lifetimes in one day?

Lu Zhaoyi couldn’t sleep anyway, so he turned on the projector to watch a movie. He glanced at his phone. Li Xiao had sent him a message three minutes ago, wishing him good night and sweet dreams.

He thought the young master was truly thoughtful. After hesitating, he still called Li Xiao.

Li Xiao answered almost immediately after the call connected. Lu Zhaoyi admitted that this feeling was quite nice—it was as if Li Xiao had been waiting for him. After all, most domineering CEOs who keep young men want to sleep with them on the first night. He was one of the few who was emotionally unavailable, but to prevent Li Xiao from becoming suspicious, he felt he should make this call.

As soon as the call connected, Li Xiao called out: “President Lu.”

Lu Zhaoyi asked him: “Are you not asleep yet either?”

Li Xiao said: “I was waiting for you to come over.”

Lu Zhaoyi’s expression shifted: “I’m very sorry. I’ll tell you in advance when I plan to visit. If I don’t say anything, you don’t have to wait for me.”

“President Lu, could you please let me know whether or not you’ll come?”

Listening to Li Xiao’s soft voice, Lu Zhaoyi replied, “Okay.”

Then you’ll probably see a “I’m not coming” message from me every day. You asked for this yourself, so don’t complain later.

Although Lu Zhaoyi wouldn’t fall for him, he didn’t like lying. He didn’t use the excuse of being busy with work; he simply apologized to Li Xiao.

“President Lu, why haven’t you slept yet?”

“I can’t sleep. I’m a bit annoyed.”

I’m not used to anything in this awful place.

“Can I come over and keep you company?”

“Do you know what you’re saying?” Lu Zhaoyi was speechless. Did this young master have no concept of time?

“It’s 11:30 PM. It takes at least 40 minutes to get here from Xizhou by taxi.”

“I know,” Li Xiao said. “But I took your money. I should do anything I can to repay such kindness.”

Countless grass-mud horses galloped through Lu Zhaoyi’s mind. Amazing. You are such a great actor. Why are you a devoted-dog? You should debut and start acting! I think those popular celebrities aren’t as good as you.

“Can I, President Lu?” Li Xiao asked. “If I don’t keep you company tonight, I won’t feel at ease.”

Lu Zhaoyi internally said “No” countless times, but his mouth said, “I’ll come find you instead.”

“That’s too much trouble for you.”

“I have a car. It’s better than you having to take a taxi.”

Lu Zhaoyi hung up after speaking, then began frantically making excuses for himself: I am just being kind.

Going out at this hour, Lu Zhaoyi naturally drove himself. Previously, he always had a driver, even when going to a bar late at night, because driving home was a hassle.

He only made an exception today because he was going to see Li Xiao.

Anyway, tomorrow was Saturday. Even if it weren’t, he was a CEO; if he skipped work, he skipped work. Nobody was going to dock his pay.

As for Li Xiao, he had just graduated from university and hadn’t joined the company. According to the persona he was maintaining, he was very short on money, which was why he cherished this job of “accompanying the boss.”

Lu Zhaoyi was already out but suddenly felt some regret. Would Li Xiao misunderstand something because of this?

After parking his car, he walked toward the apartment and saw Li Xiao waiting for him downstairs before he even arrived. The streetlights were bright enough for him to see Li Xiao clearly.

Li Xiao, standing under the streetlight, clearly saw him too. His eyes were filled with expectation. Those already beautiful fox eyes appeared even more seductive now.

Lu Zhaoyi admitted that Li Xiao was very handsome. If Li Xiao hadn’t been in this position, but had been an honest designer and family heir, he might have been willing to look at him more. But in this current situation, he absolutely would not.

Infatuation is a no! Lickspittle is a no!

Lu Zhaoyi walked toward Li Xiao, and Li Xiao came to meet him. When Li Xiao reached him, he suddenly stopped.

Lu Zhaoyi saw his excitement and asked him: “Do you want to hug me?”

“Can I really?”

Lu Zhaoyi used his actions to reply.

“President Lu, should I take the bag?”

Li Xiao asked, and Lu Zhaoyi casually replied, “It’s for you anyway. There’s no harm in you taking it.”

“Actually, I prepared some things.”

Lu Zhaoyi paused, then realized: “Prepared what?”

“Well…” Li Xiao was a bit hesitant, unsure if he should say it.

“Well what?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I just passed a convenience store and brought you some snacks. What were you thinking?”

“I’m sorry, President Lu, I…”

“I don’t know why your mind is full of these things,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I’m not that sexually frustrated.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Ancestor, please stop apologizing! You’re not my employee, and I won’t threaten to fire you,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “You don’t need to be so cautious.”

Li Xiao was stunned, then said: “Okay.”

Lu Zhaoyi thought: I believe you like I believe a ghost.

After going upstairs, Lu Zhaoyi began to look around the apartment. The original owner had never been here, which explained why he had no impression of it.

It was a three-bedroom apartment, and Li Xiao had left the master bedroom empty, specifically for Lu Zhaoyi.

Li Xiao stayed by his side the whole time. Lu Zhaoyi said, “Li Xiao, let’s go to sleep.”

“Ah, okay.” Li Xiao asked, “President Lu, should I go grab things?”

“Grab what? Sleep,” Lu Zhaoyi was truly startled by Li Xiao’s mind being so full of sex and filth.

“Should I sleep with you?”

“If you want, come over.”

Li Xiao ran toward Lu Zhaoyi without a second thought.

Lu Zhaoyi thought: I’m not sugar; why is he looking so happy?

“Aren’t you going to change your clothes?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “These are still the clothes you wore when you went downstairs to meet me.”

“Sorry, President Lu, I’ll go change now.”

As if afraid Lu Zhaoyi would change his mind, Li Xiao quickly returned to the room, changed his clothes, and reappeared before him.

Lu Zhaoyi sat on the edge of the bed, finding it a bit funny: “Why are you in such a hurry? I haven’t changed into my pajamas yet.”

Li Xiao immediately turned around: “Please change. I won’t peek.”

Seeing him say that, Lu Zhaoyi couldn’t very well refuse, so he found a pair of pajamas and changed. Luckily, Chu Siyu, the assistant, was organized and prepared all his clothes, or things would have been awkward.

However, she probably wouldn’t realize that her boss was completely different now; a different soul occupied this body.

“Sleep, Li Xiao,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Don’t overthink things. I won’t touch you.”

“Why?” Li Xiao’s fox eyes were full of innocence. “Does President Lu dislike me?”

“What nonsense are you thinking?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “If I disliked you, why would I give you money?”

“Mm,” Li Xiao said. “Thank you, President Lu.”

Why is he being polite again?

Lu Zhaoyi got into bed first, then told him: “This bed is quite big. Let’s sleep together.”

Li Xiao got into bed, maintaining some distance from Lu Zhaoyi. He was very reserved. Then he quietly reached out and hugged Lu Zhaoyi. When Lu Zhaoyi didn’t push him away, he immediately relaxed quite a bit.

“Sleep, Li Xiao,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “It’s long past midnight.”

“Okay.”
