After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Li Xiao was always obedient; whatever Lu Zhaoyi said, Li Xiao would adopt an attitude of “I’ll listen to you.” Lu Zhaoyi couldn’t articulate exactly what he was thinking, nor did he know whether he needed to follow the original plot.

However, when he thought about the original text—where Li Xiao cooked meals and waited all night for the original owner, only for the original owner to be sleeping with someone else, or where Li Xiao rejected repeated calls from his family on New Year’s Eve just so Lu Zhaoyi could see him whenever he came home—Lu Zhaoyi felt wronged.

Not for himself, but because it wasn’t worth it for Li Xiao.

A prodigal son returning, a Scum-Jian (Scum-Lowly) story, what kind of things are these? Isn’t it just a strange entanglement of emotions between a philandering gong and a devoted-dog shou? Does it deserve to defile the beautiful word “love”?

He suggested the original owner go get tested for AIDS or other STDs.

Even if he didn’t like Li Xiao, he wouldn’t be able to do something like that.

Forget it, the more I cut, the more tangled it gets. Better to sleep.

Lu Zhaoyi wasn’t a person with a great routine; he often went to bars and nightclubs. However, even in those situations, Lu Zhaoyi was accustomed to maintaining his spiritual purity. Now, with a beauty beside him, he could still manage to remain unmoved.

Seeing no further movement from him, Li Xiao assumed he was asleep, quietly got up, and placed a kiss on Lu Zhaoyi’s head. Lu Zhaoyi hadn’t actually fallen asleep; he felt it, but he pretended to be asleep, thinking, If Li Xiao wants to kiss me, let him.

For some reason, Lu Zhaoyi felt unsettled. Was the original owner, that thing, truly worth so much dedication from Li Xiao?

Mulling over these random thoughts, Lu Zhaoyi finally drifted off to sleep.

The next day when he woke up, he smelled food. He knew without asking that Li Xiao was already awake.

Lu Zhaoyi hesitated, choosing to wash up first. What if being too concerned about Li Xiao made Li Xiao truly believe that he was different from the original owner?

Lu Zhaoyi didn’t want to take such a risk. After all, this Li Xiao didn’t even like him; he was only twenty-three and hadn’t planned on settling down.

Few genuine couples in the world can make it to the end, let alone his current ambiguous sugar daddy/kept-man relationship with Li Xiao. Oh, and he wasn’t even the one who initiated this relationship.

If Li Xiao were truly only in it for the money, the relationship might be more stable. But the problem was, Li Xiao wasn’t; Li Xiao wanted emotion, and that was precisely what Lu Zhaoyi couldn’t provide.

Lu Zhaoyi constantly told himself that he was only considering things for Li Xiao because of the plot and his own life. Otherwise, he absolutely wouldn’t pay him any extra attention.

He finished getting ready and walked out of the bedroom. Li Xiao was indeed already sitting at the dining table, waiting for him.

“Good morning, President Lu.”

“Mhm,” Lu Zhaoyi replied. “Do you get up this early on weekends too?”

“I wanted to make you breakfast,” Li Xiao rationalized, “Since I took President Lu’s money.”

“Then thank you,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “These things are not something you are required to do.”

Li Xiao shook his head: “Since I took President Lu’s money, it’s only right for me to do things for President Lu.”

“That’s not the right way to think,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “You are Li Xiao first and foremost. Never mind, let’s drop it.”

A leopard can’t change its spots. It would be useless even if I told you.

“President Lu, please try it,” Li Xiao said. “It should taste quite good.”

Although Lu Zhaoyi grew up with his uncle, his uncle had always taught him according to the rules of a young master from an elite family. Lu Zhaoyi was well-versed in etiquette, and his every move exuded an aristocratic air.

Li Xiao watched him expectantly until he took the first bite. Li Xiao asked him: “Is it delicious?”

“It is,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Your hands are truly talented—they can both paint and cook. Your fingers are long and beautiful, just like your appearance.”

Hearing this, Li Xiao looked a little embarrassed: “President Lu, you don’t need to be so polite.”

“Aren’t you the one being polite to me?” Lu Zhaoyi asked. “You made such a delicious breakfast, why don’t you start eating instead of just watching me?”

Li Xiao stopped looking at him and picked up his chopsticks. However, even while eating, his eyes were still secretly glancing at Lu Zhaoyi.

“What are you looking at, Li Xiao?” Lu Zhaoyi asked. “Is it me?”

Li Xiao finally became a little reserved, no longer looking at him so overtly.

Eating this meal made Lu Zhaoyi somewhat uncomfortable. Li Xiao was indeed deeply in love, but he had directed his feelings at the wrong person initially, the original owner, the scum gong. Now it was even more misplaced, as he wasn’t even the scum gong.

How annoying.

“Li Xiao,” Lu Zhaoyi looked at him and asked seriously, “Let’s end this relationship. You can keep all the money.”

“Is there something I did wrong?” Tears immediately streamed down Li Xiao’s face as he spoke. “President Lu, I’m sorry. I will change anything you don’t like about me. Please don’t end this relationship, okay?”

Lu Zhaoyi had no choice but to see such a beauty cry. He sighed: “I’m afraid you’ll regret it.”

“I won’t,” Li Xiao said. “I want to be with you…”

“Fine, you don’t need to keep talking. I understand,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “If you’re willing, I won’t lose anything. Just do as you please.”

“President Lu, are you unhappy?”

Lu Zhaoyi said: “No, why would I be unhappy?”

“When I first met you, you weren’t like this.”

Nonsense, we aren’t the same person, of course I’m different. Didn’t I just give you a chance to say whether you regret it or not?

“If you think I’m moody, unpredictable, erratic, and arbitrary, we can end this relationship now,” Lu Zhaoyi’s tone remained flat. “I won’t take back any of the things I’ve given you.”

“No,” Li Xiao cried. “Please, I beg you.”

Lu Zhaoyi truly couldn’t stand the sight of such a beauty shedding tears. He stepped forward and hugged Li Xiao: “Don’t cry.”

After saying that, Lu Zhaoyi was afraid his tone was too cold, so he added: “I’m not forbidding you to cry, but you don’t need to cry over this. You can ask me for anything, you don’t have to put yourself through this.”

“Okay.”

Okay my butt. You always give the perfect answer.

Lu Zhaoyi wished he could post on a forum: #What do I do about suddenly getting a crying beauty? Urgent online help needed!

But even without posting, he knew that if netizens saw it, they would either accuse him of daydreaming and tell him to wake up, or they would ask if he could pass the beauty on to them.

“Li Xiao, want to go shopping?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I’ll buy you some things.”

“You’re willing to go out personally?”

“Mhm,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “The new season items have indeed been delivered to me, but you don’t have many things here, so I’ll take you to add some.”

“Thank you, President Lu.”

Li Xiao’s tone showed joy, so Lu Zhaoyi asked him: “Are you happy?”

“Mhm.”

“That’s good.”

Happy my butt. Your expression right now isn’t as good as when I just hugged you. But you act well. You’re quite the little liar, Xiao Li.

This time, Lu Zhaoyi didn’t drive himself. Their driver, Liang Xing, came to take them. After introducing him to Li Xiao, Lu Zhaoyi told Li Xiao: “He will follow you from now on, and this car is also yours.”

“Thank you, President Lu,” Li Xiao smiled.

“You’re welcome.”

Lu Zhaoyi thought: Your original circumstances should have been much better than this. Your quality of life has clearly dropped, yet you can still thank me. You have a big heart.

Lu Zhaoyi wasn’t quite sure if this was the normal procedure for others keeping someone, but Li Xiao couldn’t lack anything—after all, money was the easiest thing to give.

If Lu Zhaoyi hadn’t been quite wealthy himself, he might have felt that Li Xiao was accurately targeting poverty relief.

He could have shone brightly on his own.

Wait, even now, Li Xiao can still shine brightly on his own. I should find time to discuss this with him.

Lu Zhaoyi didn’t think twice and took him straight into the most expensive store in the mall. He was afraid that if he were there, Li Xiao would continue his “poor boy” persona, so he asked Li Xiao to wait outside for a moment. Although Li Xiao didn’t know his intentions, he nodded and waited outside.

When Lu Zhaoyi came out, he explained to Li Xiao: “I was afraid you wouldn’t feel comfortable if I was inside.”

Li Xiao was stunned, then realized what Lu Zhaoyi was talking about.

Lu Zhaoyi smiled: “Go in. Try on a few outfits and show me later.”

Li Xiao smiled: “Okay.”

Lu Zhaoyi truly felt touched by his own thoughtfulness. Where can you find a sugar daddy like me, who spends money and time but won’t sleep with his kept man?!

Although Li Xiao probably wants the last part, I don’t care. I am the number one best sugar daddy in the world.

The original novel described how Li Xiao first met the original owner during a gathering with friends by chance. Li Xiao fell in love with him at first sight and began paying attention to him. He then learned that the original owner liked pure, clean-looking young men.

To match his preference, Li Xiao concealed his identity, just to become the person the original owner liked.

Lu Zhaoyi had only skimmed the novel, but he always remembered Li Xiao’s line: “I don’t mind breaking my bones to shape myself into the person you want.”

When he read it back then, although he had outwardly criticized Li Xiao for being so desperate, he also felt that Li Xiao must have loved Lu Zhaoyi very much to be willing to give up so much. If it wasn’t true love, he wouldn’t have needed to do any of this.

However, the original owner was quite careless. Li Xiao wasn’t from this city, so he didn’t recognize the name and didn’t bother using a search engine. It truly is the nature of these scumbags to be paralyzed by a beautiful face. Lu Zhaoyi thought, Good thing I’m not like that.

If I had transmigrated earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have agreed to Li Xiao.

But at that moment, a voice in his heart whispered, If he cried to you, that might not be true.

After casually spending money at a few stores, Lu Zhaoyi returned to the shop to find Li Xiao.

Li Xiao was sitting in the store looking at his phone, occasionally lifting his head. Lu Zhaoyi knew without asking that he was waiting for him.

He was sitting there in just a bespoke white shirt and black trousers—the simplest possible combination—which perfectly brought out his noble temperament.

Aristocracy truly must be nurtured. This outfit looked beautiful on him, yet he lacked confidence: “President Lu, does it look good?”

“It looks good,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “With looks like yours, what wouldn’t look good?”

“Thank you for the compliment, President Lu.”

Lu Zhaoyi shook his head: “I’m just stating a fact. I’m not complimenting you.”

Li Xiao’s fox eyes curved slightly, and he smiled: “Okay, thank you, President Lu.”

Seeing him like this, Lu Zhaoyi couldn’t help but add internally: Li Xiao is truly handsome. With a pure look like a high school student, wouldn’t any ‘Top’ (Gong) be moved?

Fortunately, I’m not a typical shallow Top. I sealed off my heart long ago. Besides, Li Xiao said he was doing this for money, so earning more money to take care of him is completely fine, right?
