After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 32

Chapter 32

Lu Zhaoyi was startled: “Is that what I was thinking?”

Li Xiao replied: “You can think that.”

Lu Zhaoyi suddenly realized he had been twisted around by him. Lu Zhaoyi said, “Xiao Xiao, aren’t you tired?”

Li Xiao said, “I drank two cups of coffee.”

Lu Zhaoyi said, “No wonder you’re so awake.”

Li Xiao chuckled: “Are you getting anxious?”

Lu Zhaoyi admitted frankly: “Yes.”

In the time it took for these few sentences, Lu Zhaoyi suddenly felt his heart calm down.

“You usually act too genuinely in front of me,” Li Xiao said. “Did you forget your ‘CEO Persona’?”

Lu Zhaoyi said, “I don’t have a persona, and I haven’t lied to you about anything.”

Li Xiao didn’t need to analyze those words closely to hear the strong resentment in Lu Zhaoyi’s tone. Li Xiao looked into his eyes and said, “It was always you I liked.”

Lu Zhaoyi looked at him incredulously. Li Xiao nodded and said, “Really, Lu Zhaoyi, I like you very much. I am willing to believe anything you say. I will never harbor resentment towards you. Even if you don’t like me, it’s because I’m not capable enough, it’s because I’m not worthy. These problems originate with me; you don’t need to blame yourself.”

“Xiao Xiao…” Lu Zhaoyi called out his name, then didn’t know what else to say.

“In this relationship, you can always control me,” Li Xiao said. “I will always belong to you.”

Li Xiao’s fox-like eyes misted over slightly. Lu Zhaoyi said, “Xiao Xiao, go to sleep. It’s very late today.”

“The car keys are in my hand,” Li Xiao said. “Will you skip work tomorrow? Please?”

Lu Zhaoyi nodded: “I won’t go to Yuehe tomorrow.”

“I finished washing up at the company,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Go to sleep, Xiao Xiao. We can discuss other things when we wake up tomorrow.”

“Then, do you like me?”

Lu Zhaoyi turned his head away: “Just a little bit.”

“Really, just a little?”

Lu Zhaoyi stopped looking at him and walked straight into the bedroom. He only heard Li Xiao chuckling softly.

If I say he’s being tsundere, he’s probably going to get anxious again, Li Xiao thought.

Li Xiao asked, “Aren’t you tired?”

Lu Zhaoyi said, “Before I met you, I always went to bed at this hour. You are the one who has suffered.”

Li Xiao leaned in close to his ear and said, “If Mr. Lu doesn’t want to sleep, how about we do some things that the unemployed should do?”

Lu Zhaoyi reminded him: “The baby.”

Li Xiao reached out and rubbed his belly: “Why can’t Mr. Lu get pregnant, but I can?”

Lu Zhaoyi said, “That’s what the dumb author set up! No, don’t change the subject.”

“Hmm?” Li Xiao asked, “What do you want to ask then?”

“There’s so much! Where should I start?” Lu Zhaoyi said, “Little liar, you just love to tease me.”

Li Xiao said, “It’s not because I wanted a child, it’s obviously because… I wanted you.”

Lu Zhaoyi quickly burrowed under the covers: “Good night, Xiao Xiao.”

Li Xiao said, “Okay, I’m going to look at the email.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi instantly sat up straight. What could Li Xiao be referring to? Of course, it was his “breakup letter” that said, “You are truly wonderful, and it’s all my fault.” “Don’t look, Xiao Xiao, my dear, darling wife, I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again next time.”

“But there’ll be a time after next, too,” Li Xiao said. “It’s not necessarily a bad thing for me to familiarize myself with Mr. Lu’s breakup letters in advance. It’s like a vaccine to prepare myself mentally.”

Lu Zhaoyi covered half his face with the quilt: “Xiao Xiao, I’m truly sorry.”

“What did you do wrong?”

Lu Zhaoyi said, “No one in this world breaks up on the second day of dating.”

Li Xiao said, “If you’re not suitable, breaking up early isn’t a bad thing.”

Lu Zhaoyi vigorously shook his head: “Xiao Xiao, come into my arms.”

Li Xiao responded and got onto the bed. Lu Zhaoyi kissed his forehead: “Xiao Xiao, I’m sorry, I made you worry.”

Li Xiao said, “I wasn’t good either; I should have trusted you more.”

They both spoke words of self-blame, essentially because they didn’t want to see the other person sad.

Li Xiao said, “Mr. Lu gave me a painting, and I prepared a surprise for you.”

“What is it?” After saying this, Lu Zhaoyi realized that Li Xiao had prepared a surprise for him, yet he had planned to run away. He instantly felt incredibly sorry.

Li Xiao said, “You didn’t manage to leave anyway, so stop blaming yourself.”

“How are you so thoughtful, Xiao Xiao?” Lu Zhaoyi embraced him, letting him lean on his shoulder.

“When my boyfriend is so clueless,” Li Xiao said, “I naturally have to be the more sensible one.”

This made Lu Zhaoyi blush: “I won’t be like that again! I swear on my life.”

“No sincerity,” Li Xiao said. “You’ll definitely do it again later.”

Lu Zhaoyi simply followed his lead: “I will do it again later. Wife, do you want to consider running away now?”

Li Xiao shook his head: “Chasing someone is too tiring, but if you chase me, it’ll be very easy.”

The moment Li Xiao said this, Lu Zhaoyi finally voiced his confusion: “Xiao Xiao, you’re a good young master, why do you keep calling me ‘nín’ (您 – a formal/respectful ‘you’)? Doesn’t it feel awkward?”

“Do you really want to know?” Li Xiao’s face was smug. Lu Zhaoyi instantly felt that perhaps he was better off not knowing this answer.

Li Xiao said, “At first, it was because of the contract. Later, it was because you lied to me. The word ‘nín’ can be a respectful address, but it can also be used sarcastically. Don’t you agree, Mr. Lu?”

Sure enough, I knew it wasn’t a good answer.

Lu Zhaoyi said, “Xiao Xiao, you’re getting too arrogant.”

“Then how do you plan to punish me?”

Lu Zhaoyi flipped over, pinning him beneath him, and kissed him from his eyes down to his lips.

It was only now that Lu Zhaoyi realized some things genuinely didn’t need to be specially taught—he could just know them. For instance, right now, Li Xiao’s clothes were already unbuttoned.

With the arrow nocked, Lu Zhaoyi nevertheless held back: “Xiao Xiao, let’s go to the bathroom.”

Lu Zhaoyi was clearly aroused, and Li Xiao was also breathing heavily. It would be strange if there was no reaction to such teasing.

“I’ll help you.”

…

“Xiao Xiao,” Lu Zhaoyi said, “I won’t let you off this easily next time.”

To Li Xiao, these words were less of a threat and more of a flirtation. He replied, “Okay, I look forward to it, Mr. Lu.”

“That was fun,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Let’s sleep. Hold me and see if you can fall asleep.”

“I’ll hold you even if I can’t sleep,” Li Xiao said. “I almost lost my boyfriend today. It’s not too much for Mr. Lu to compensate me, is it?”

“Not too much,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Hold me. You can even feel my abs.”

Li Xiao said, “I’ve never been polite to you. I’ve felt them many times when you were asleep.”

Lu Zhaoyi: “I’m not innocent anymore…”

“You belong to Li Xiao. What does innocence have to do with it?”

“So domineering,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I like it.”

“If you like it, why did you run?”

Lu Zhaoyi immediately fell silent. He buried his head in the quilt, and after a while, he peeked out. Li Xiao had been waiting for him the whole time. He hugged Lu Zhaoyi: “Good night, boyfriend.”

“Honey, good night.”

Neither of them spoke again. Although there were still many unspoken things between them, at this moment, those unclear words would not impact their relationship at all.

Lu Zhaoyi woke up later than Li Xiao, as usual. When Lu Zhaoyi opened his eyes and didn’t feel any warmth, he immediately spoke: “Xiao Xiao?”

“You’re awake?”

“I am,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Can the biological clock defeat coffee? Why did you get up so early, when you went to bed so late yesterday?”

Li Xiao said, “I didn’t drink much. I was thinking of waiting for you, and with so much on my mind, I wasn’t sleepy.”

“Then did you say that yesterday to make me feel sorry for you?” Lu Zhaoyi said, “Xiao Xiao, it hurts me even more if you’re sad because of me.”

“I only said that yesterday because I was afraid you’d worry,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “It’s normal not to sleep if you’ve had coffee.”

“Xiao Xiao, thank you,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Truly.”

Li Xiao said, “Don’t talk about ‘thank you.’ It’s good enough that you’re still by my side. The clothes in the second bedroom are all folded. Were you planning to throw them all away together?”

“I was planning to,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Now I don’t want to.”

“Why not?”

“My wife loves me, so what do I have to feel wronged about?” Lu Zhaoyi said, “I’m incredibly happy, just like…”

After thinking for a long time, Lu Zhaoyi couldn’t think of the right words to describe it. Li Xiao said, “Just like when the North City land fell into Yuehe’s hands.”

“What?” Lu Zhaoyi was stunned. “Xiao Xiao, do you mean…”

“My surprise for you,” Li Xiao said. “I know you’ve been wanting it for a long time. If you hadn’t come back yesterday, I would have gone to the bidding conference.”

Lu Zhaoyi said, “My wife is amazing.”

“I’m not half as good as Mr. Lu. I just casually learned a little; you give me too much credit,” Li Xiao joked.

“You’re mocking me again,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiao Xiao, you are getting more and more presumptuous. I…”

“You what?”

“What can I do?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Never mind.”

“I read the letter,” Li Xiao said. “It’s difficult for a proud person like you to belittle yourself as completely useless.”

Lu Zhaoyi knew he would read it, but hearing Li Xiao say it now didn’t feel so embarrassing.

“Let’s get up,” Li Xiao said with a smile. “It’s just that you haven’t realized it—you woke up three hours later than usual, and I woke up four hours earlier than you.”

Lu Zhaoyi instantly felt awkward: “I forgot to check the time.”

As he was about to get up, he remembered to ask Li Xiao: “Xiao Xiao, have you eaten anything? You didn’t wait for me until now, did you?”

“I did wait for you until now,” Li Xiao said. Seeing the sudden panic in his expression, he quickly added, “I ate a little something to tide me over. I’m waiting to celebrate.”

“Celebrate what?” Lu Zhaoyi asked. “Giving that piece of land to a reliable boss like me?”

“What are you talking about!” Li Xiao said. “We’re celebrating not having to be broken up.”

“Oh, right,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “That is definitely worth celebrating.”

While washing up, Lu Zhaoyi suddenly realized something was wrong. That piece of land… wasn’t it originally owned by the Li family?
