After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Li Xiao was momentarily stunned. He couldn’t be sure whether Lu Zhaoyi’s reaction meant he knew or didn’t know.

“It’s Xie Yuanzhu, and now you…”

Li Xiao looked at him, and before he could finish his sentence, he saw Lu Zhaoyi’s brow furrowing, clearly showing displeasure.

“He recorded it?” Lu Zhaoyi guessed. “And took photos and sent them to you in a package?”

Li Xiao nodded.

At this point, both of them understood.

Xie Yuanzhu’s visit to Yuehe today was partly to see Lu Zhaoyi, but he had probably prepared to persuade Li Xiao to give up gracefully.

“President Lu, you said you don’t like people getting too close to you—that was the reason you gave me when you avoided me yesterday.” Li Xiao looked at him and asked, “But with Young Master Xie, you don’t have to avoid him, do you?”

“Of course not!” Lu Zhaoyi said. “He was the one who opened the conference room door. I wished I could be as far away from him as possible.”

Li Xiao observed him for a long time and saw no flaw in Lu Zhaoyi’s expression; what he said seemed to be the truth.

After a long period of silence, Li Xiao was the one who finally spoke: “President Lu, were your abnormal behaviors recently because you knew who I am?”

Hearing him ask that, Lu Zhaoyi immediately shook his head: “No, I’ve always known who you are.”

“Huh?”

Lu Zhaoyi said, “I never asked, actually, because I always knew. Xiaoxiao, didn’t you know? You’re not convincing as an impoverished college student at all.”

Li Xiao didn’t intend to answer that question. What he had originally wanted to say was different from what Lu Zhaoyi said. He became even more confused. Lu Zhaoyi wasn’t acting unusually because he knew his identity; he knew from the start. That could only mean…

He couldn’t even form a coherent sentence.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Zhaoyi asked, “You don’t believe me?”

Li Xiao shook his head, he said: “I know now.”

Lu Zhaoyi felt that his “know now” didn’t sound genuine, but contained some other meaning. What was the reason for Li Xiao’s unusual behavior?

He himself felt uneasy because of Xie Yuanzhu, but what about Li Xiao?

As the original novel’s protagonist submissive, did he also have some kind of psychic connection?

Lu Zhaoyi couldn’t let his thoughts run wild, so he chose to ask directly: “Xiaoxiao, what did I do that made you feel I was acting abnormally?”

Li Xiao looked at him: “You…”

Lu Zhaoyi heard him stop after one word and asked: “Me?”

“When you left this morning, you didn’t give me any extra instructions like you usually do.”

Lu Zhaoyi finally remembered that he was just thinking about other things, which made him seem a little different than usual. He hadn’t expected Li Xiao to overthink it.

He was about to explain, but Li Xiao’s eyes grew deep, and he continued: “Also, you have always been very healthy.”

Lu Zhaoyi was startled. Li Xiao had omitted some steps, but he must have investigated, just as Xie Yuanzhu investigated them. In this circle, no one can keep a secret.

The original host didn’t know Li Xiao’s identity at first simply because he never cared. As long as Li Xiao was clean, he didn’t bother to doubt his identity.

Lu Zhaoyi never believed the original host truly liked Li Xiao. And judging by Li Xiao’s current reaction, he must like him more than the original host, right?

“I’m sorry,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I lied to you. You’re overthinking everything because of me. Xiaoxiao, I apologize.”

Li Xiao didn’t answer him, but instead pressed down and kissed him.

Lu Zhaoyi was momentarily stunned but still returned the kiss.

Li Xiao was slow to pull away, and they only separated when they were both struggling for breath.

“Xiaoxiao… you…”

Li Xiao said, “President Lu, let’s go inside.”

It wasn’t a question but a gentle expression of a request, almost an announcement, yet his eyes were full of grievance. Lu Zhaoyi felt he could burst into tears at any second.

But Li Xiao didn’t cry. He just told Lu Zhaoyi to go in first, while he went back out to retrieve the paper box.

Lu Zhaoyi waited for him in place. Li Xiao’s eyes held too many emotions. Lu Zhaoyi knew that lying first was wrong, but he truly didn’t know how to react to Li Xiao’s current state.

“Xiaoxiao,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “What is wrong with you?”

Normally, Li Xiao was as docile as a little fox. Today, he was genuinely overwhelming Lu Zhaoyi.

Li Xiao pressed half of Lu Zhaoyi’s body onto the bed, kneeling half-legged beside him.

“Xiaoxiao,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “What are you trying to do?”

Li Xiao ignored him and said, “I’m turning on the air conditioning.”

Li Xiao ignored him, walked over, picked up the remote, and turned it on.

Lu Zhaoyi straightened himself. He thought: You’ve done the deed, now what am I supposed to do?

Li Xiao seemed to read his mind. He was wearing a thin jacket with a zipper today, but the zipper was pulled up high. Lu Zhaoyi watched him pull the zipper down and instantly said, “Put your clothes back on!”

Li Xiao, wearing only his semi-sheer top, sat down next to Lu Zhaoyi.

Lu Zhaoyi said, “Beibei, Xiaoxiao, please put your clothes on properly, okay?”

Li Xiao nodded. Just as Lu Zhaoyi was about to praise him, Li Xiao turned his face toward him, intending to kiss him.

Normally, Lu Zhaoyi would have kissed him, but the current situation was clearly inappropriate.

Lu Zhaoyi was about to offer some words of comfort when Li Xiao said, “You’re clearly not who I thought you were.”

Seeing tears trace past Li Xiao’s tear mole, Lu Zhaoyi instantly became nervous. He thought: Just a kiss makes you this tense?

Lu Zhaoyi couldn’t tell if Li Xiao was even listening to him, so he simply leaned in and kissed him. Li Xiao’s crying stopped.

He reached out to pull at Lu Zhaoyi’s clothes. By now, Lu Zhaoyi roughly knew what he was trying to do.

Li Xiao saw from his expression that he had guessed. He handed the box to Lu Zhaoyi. Under his gaze, Lu Zhaoyi opened it.

—Condoms and lubricant.

Lu Zhaoyi’s expression instantly broke: “Xiaoxiao!”

Li Xiao said: “President Lu, even with me like this, you still don’t feel anything?”

Li Xiao climbed onto his lap and kissed Lu Zhaoyi. His face was full of grievance, but also love.

Lu Zhaoyi was not genuinely incapable, and being provoked by Li Xiao like this, his desire was already physically evident.

Li Xiao looked down at his lower abdomen and naturally didn’t miss his reaction: “At least that proves you were definitely lying to me.”

“Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “It’s all my fault.”

“Even like this, President Lu, are you still not planning to do what we should do?”

Lu Zhaoyi looked at him, completely stunned.

He heard Li Xiao ask: “Is it because you’re worried I might get pregnant with your child?”
