After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 35
Chapter 35
Li Xiao smiled: “Mhm.”
Lu Zhaoyi immediately stopped looking at him. Li Xiao smiled even more noticeably. He said, “Brother, don’t be angry.”
The word “Brother” made Lu Zhaoyi pause. He turned to look at Li Xiao: “What did you call me?”
Li Xiao suppressed his laughter and said, “Niang Niang (Empress/Lady).”
Lu Zhaoyi: “…”
Li Xiao laughed: “Just kidding. Where should we go now?”
“Go home to sleep,” Lu Zhaoyi said casually.
“Just that?” Li Xiao asked. “I originally wanted to take you to see my mom and dad.”
Lu Zhaoyi’s eyes widened: “Not yet, Xiao Xiao. You must be drunk. I…”
“If you don’t want to see them, we won’t,” Li Xiao said. “Are you afraid they’ll think we’re moving too fast, and they’ll ask questions that are hard to answer?”
Lu Zhaoyi nodded: “It’s too awkward, Xiao Xiao. I always feel like I’m abducting a child.”
“You don’t need a lollipop; I’m willing to go home with you anyway,” Li Xiao said. “Let’s go back to Xizhou. Didn’t you want to go back?”
Lu Zhaoyi didn’t answer him. After getting into the car, he thought a lot. He was indeed happy with Li Xiao during this time, but could he truly shoulder a commitment for a lifetime?
Lu Zhaoyi hadn’t felt impulsive when he posted on Weibo today, but now he felt that he had been impulsive, even though he hadn’t been drinking then either.
Lu Zhaoyi turned his head to look at Li Xiao, only to see Li Xiao leaning on his shoulder, his face still a little flushed. Lu Zhaoyi gently stroked his hair and thought: He clearly can’t drink, yet he drank to save my face.
Li Xiao was asleep, so he naturally didn’t know Lu Zhaoyi was thinking this. Lu Zhaoyi woke him up when they arrived.
Li Xiao was still slightly groggy and softly called out, “Husband.”
“Xiao Xiao, let’s go up,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “You look uncomfortable.”
Li Xiao shook his head but kept leaning into him. Lu Zhaoyi found it amusing. He called out, “Bae.”
Li Xiao replied, “Husband.”
Lu Zhaoyi hung up his jacket. Li Xiao had already kissed him. Lu Zhaoyi certainly didn’t refuse, holding him straight onto the sofa and deepening the kiss.
“Xiao Xiao,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “If you’re uncomfortable, go to sleep first.”
Li Xiao shook his head: “It’s still early.”
“You can still go to sleep early,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “No one dictates that you can only sleep late.”
Li Xiao shook his head: “That’s different. You can do other things when it’s early.”
Lu Zhaoyi wondered if he was being led astray. He actually started thinking about that matter too. Since the thought had occurred, he simply asked Li Xiao: “Do we have those things at home?”
Li Xiao said, “Husband, this is a three-bedroom apartment. There’s one room we never enter. I put the stuff there. If you want…”
“Hold it,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiao Xiao, how about we pick an auspicious day?”
“Okay,” Li Xiao said. “You finally remembered.”
Lu Zhaoyi was a little amused: “How could I forget something this big, Xiao Xiao?”
“There are too many things you forget,” Li Xiao said, feeling wronged. “How dare you ask me?”
“For example?”
“Forgetting me telling you ‘I like you’ time after time,” Li Xiao said. “And still thinking I was doing it for the baby. What’s so great about the baby? Even if he resembles you, it’s you I like. Besides, no one can guarantee the baby will look like you…”
Lu Zhaoyi quietly listened until he finished and then smiled: “Xiao Xiao, you like me that much?”
“Mhm,” Li Xiao said. “Only like you, like you the most, really like you…”
Lu Zhaoyi smiled: “I like you too.”
After coaxing Li Xiao for a long time, Lu Zhaoyi finally went to make two cups of lemon water and brought them back. Li Xiao said, “My husband is amazing! He can even make lemon water.”
“Pfft,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiao Xiao, are you insulting me?”
Li Xiao shook his head: “I’m definitely praising you.”
He took a sip of the lemon water: “It’s delicious.”
Lu Zhaoyi thought: What’s so delicious about it? It just tastes like lemon water.
But Li Xiao praised him, and he was still very happy.
Lu Zhaoyi asked himself again if he liked Li Xiao. The answer was naturally yes.
At first, constantly defining Li Xiao as only liking the scumbag protagonist led him to miss some things, but thinking closely, if there had been no misunderstanding, this relationship might have seemed too easy.
Lu Zhaoyi looked at Li Xiao and said seriously, “Xiao Xiao, let’s pick an auspicious date soon. Anyway, everyone already knows about this.”
“The internet has no memory,” Li Xiao said. “I need to trend a few more times so everyone knows you are my husband, and they stop having other ideas.”
Lu Zhaoyi pulled him into his arms: “Besides Li Xiao, who else is after me?”
“There are too many,” Li Xiao said. “Didn’t that person from Shengjin Group still not give up?”
“He gave up, didn’t he?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “He hasn’t been hovering around us for a long time.”
“Mr. Lu, the busy man, is forgetful,” Li Xiao said. “You forget so quickly; next time you definitely won’t remember that he had other intentions toward you.”
Lu Zhaoyi said, “Xiao Xiao, are you jealous?”
“Of course, I am,” Li Xiao said. “Why do you have to ask?”
“Darling, are you embarrassed now?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Then why didn’t you just avoid being jealous in the first place?”
Li Xiao said, “No way! If I didn’t care about you, I wouldn’t be jealous. Since I like you this much, I naturally can’t be magnanimous.”
Lu Zhaoyi tilted his head back and chuckled: “Alright then.”
Li Xiao said, “Alright about what? Are you going to sleep with me?”
“Sleep?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I’m not tired, though.”
Li Xiao knew he was doing it on purpose, so he simply turned and entered the master bedroom. Lu Zhaoyi smiled, guessing how many minutes it would take for him to come out.
As expected, while he was looking at documents, Li Xiao emerged.
“So focused?” Li Xiao said. “Unmoved while a beauty is present; truly a gentleman.”
“Sit down,” Lu Zhaoyi moved aside. “Xiao Xiao, look at the report.”
Li Xiao was about to say “What’s so great about a report?” but when Lu Zhaoyi turned the computer screen around, what he saw was a heart drawn using code.
Li Xiao was instantly surprised: “That’s so romantic!”
Now, Lu Zhaoyi knew how to be humble: “Just something I whipped up. I’m glad you like it.”
Li Xiao leaned in and kissed his cheek: “Then I’ll draw one for you too.”
“No need,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiao Xiao, I know the price of your drafts.”
“You don’t know,” Li Xiao said. “I’m worthless.”
Lu Zhaoyi laughed: “Are famous designers all this humble?”
“Not famous,” Li Xiao said. “If I’m known, it’s only because of my identity as the young master of the Li family, nothing else.”
“Then what identity do you want, Xiao Xiao?” Lu Zhaoyi asked. “My wife?”
Li Xiao nodded solemnly: “Mr. Lu, should we go get the marriage certificate? There’s no need for a property notarization; all my money is yours.”
“Xiao Xiao, how much fake alcohol did you drink?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I’m afraid we’ll be hunted down by our parents.”
“Then we’ll run away together,” Li Xiao said. “To the ends of the earth, I’ll be with you.”
“No running,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I like my life now. I like having you by my side. I want everyone to know about our relationship openly and honestly.”
Li Xiao asked, “Have you already chosen the media outlets?”
“Not yet,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Starting tomorrow, I won’t go to the company. The location of Xizhou is really good; no one should be able to take pictures.”
Li Xiao said, “After all, others wouldn’t guess we’d live here instead of somewhere else.”
“Is my Xiao Xiao feeling wronged?” Lu Zhaoyi asked him.
“Not at all,” Li Xiao said. “The wrong I feel isn’t about the apartment.”
“Hmm?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Is Xiao Xiao blaming me for something else?”
“You know in your heart, so I won’t say it,” Li Xiao said with a smile.
Lu Zhaoyi naturally knew what he was referring to and realized Li Xiao was joking. He said, “Xiao Xiao, kiss me.”
Li Xiao obediently sat beside him and placed a light kiss on his face.
“So well-behaved,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “My Xiao Xiao.”
“I am yours,” Li Xiao said, lying on his lap, looking up at him and asking, “But specifically, whose are you?”
“My unmarried wife,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “The person I love most. I couldn’t find a second one no matter what.”
These were the most moving words of affection Lu Zhaoyi could utter, yet Li Xiao still asked him: “Really?”
“Really,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiao Xiao, I was originally completely alone. I was before, and it was the same after coming to this world. In terms of family ties, I had none, regardless. But then I met you.”
Li Xiao blinked, signaling Lu Zhaoyi to continue. Lu Zhaoyi said, “I initially thought a kept relationship was much more stable than love. I was convinced that you liked the original owner, and after the soul in this body changed to me, you would eventually give up.”
Li Xiao’s eyes suddenly widened: “You never told me these details.”
Lu Zhaoyi squeezed his hand: “Xiao Xiao, I always didn’t dare to believe that you liked me. I’ve never received that kind of affection before.”
Li Xiao nodded: “Appearance and money are forms of benefit, and countless people chase after them endlessly. It’s understandable that you don’t trust them.”
“But since you have everything, it was even harder for me to believe you genuinely liked me,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiao Xiao, if I hadn’t genuinely realized that I liked you, I might not have believed that you liked me.”
Lu Zhaoyi expected Li Xiao to follow up on that point, but instead, Li Xiao asked: “When did it start?”
This question left Lu Zhaoyi puzzled. He knew he was in love, but he honestly didn’t know exactly when it began. He couldn’t possibly tell him that the very first moment he saw him, he thought he was incredibly beautiful, could he?
