After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 44

Chapter 44

“I’ll meet them,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Quickly answer your mother.”

Li Xiao smiled. He took the phone off mute and said to his mother, “I’m bringing him home tomorrow.”

It wasn’t until the call ended that Lu Zhaoyi finally exhaled.

Li Xiao turned and hugged him: “What are you afraid of?”

“Afraid of meeting my wife’s parents,” Lu Zhaoyi said.

Li Xiao immediately blushed: “How can you…”

Lu Zhaoyi said: “This is legally recognized, after all.”

Li Xiao simply closed his eyes to avoid looking at him.

Lu Zhaoyi suddenly grew serious: “Xiaoxiao, how should I behave tomorrow so I don’t lose too much composure?”

Li Xiao said: “Just maintain your normal demeanor when facing unfamiliar people.”

Lu Zhaoyi: “…”

Li Xiao saw his face freeze and knew that Lu Zhaoyi was genuinely a little nervous.

He pressed Lu Zhaoyi down onto the bed, then leaned over him. Lu Zhaoyi looked up but didn’t move. In the end, though Li Xiao initiated the kiss, Lu Zhaoyi reclaimed the dominance.

Even if Lu Zhaoyi didn’t say it aloud, Li Xiao knew that meeting the parents was probably much harder for Lu Zhaoyi than getting the marriage license.

“Lu Zhaoyi,” Li Xiao said. “I’ll be there with you.”

Lu Zhaoyi looked at him and said earnestly, “Thank you.”

Li Xiao said: “Sleep, babe.”

Lu Zhaoyi agreed, but not long after, he felt a light kiss land on his forehead. He smiled: “Did you know I wasn’t asleep?”

“I wanted to kiss you,” Li Xiao said. “I wanted you to know I wanted to kiss you.”

Lu Zhaoyi held him a little tighter. Getting married is something that requires deep consideration for many people. It wasn’t that Lu Zhaoyi hadn’t thought carefully; it was that no matter how many times he did, he always came back to the fact that he wanted to be with Li Xiao forever.

Because they were a good fit, they didn’t need any more time for consideration.

“Good night.”

“Good night.”

After they said this, neither of them spoke again.

When Li Xiao was by his side, Lu Zhaoyi always felt completely at ease. This reliance was originally what Li Xiao desired, and now it was mutual.

…

Lu Zhaoyi woke up early for a change. After they washed up together, he first warmed up some milk for Li Xiao. He said, “Xiaoxiao, we’re going out to eat today.”

Li Xiao naturally knew he was quite nervous, so he didn’t voice any other opinion about going out to eat.

Seeing Lu Zhaoyi hesitate, he proactively reached out and picked an outfit: “This one. They’ll like it.”

Lu Zhaoyi said, “It matches what you’re wearing, too.”

Li Xiao smiled: “Hurry and change. You don’t need to worry about them being difficult.”

Lu Zhaoyi asked: “Do you mean…”

“It should just be Mom and Dad,” Li Xiao said. “They don’t usually like going back to the estate, and relatives don’t often gather except for holidays.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi finally relaxed a bit. Li Xiao laughed: “If others knew that Young CEO Lu, who is so composed in front of outsiders, is this nervous about coming home to meet my parents, his image might be ruined.”

Lu Zhaoyi said nonchalantly: “I’ve never maintained any image around you.”

“Huh…” Li Xiao seemed a little confused.

Lu Zhaoyi said: “Xiaoxiao, I admit that the first time I met you, I felt like I could relax completely by your side. I’ve always let myself go.”

Li Xiao smiled: “It’s rare to hear you analyze yourself.”

“Well, we already got the certificate,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

Li Xiao smiled and said to him, “Lu Zhaoyi, you don’t need to be nervous, honestly.”

“I know,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I’m not nervous.”

Li Xiao didn’t call him out. He said, “I’m hungry.”

Lu Zhaoyi immediately grew anxious: “I’m sorry, Xiaoxiao, I made you wait too long. Let’s go eat first.”

Li Xiao nodded: “Okay.”

Li Xiao was relieved when he saw that Lu Zhaoyi was no longer dwelling on it. The way Lu Zhaoyi acted around him was always different from how he acted around others.

This behavior was enough to prove that Lu Zhaoyi put him in a position unlike anyone else, and Li Xiao was naturally happy about that.

Even though Lu Zhaoyi himself suggested going out to eat, he quietly said to Li Xiao, “Xiaoxiao, I still prefer what you make.”

“I know,” Li Xiao said. “By occasionally changing the flavor, CEO Lu can appreciate how good mine is.”

Lu Zhaoyi shook his head: “I’ve always known. No need for comparison or proof. It only requires…”

“What?” Li Xiao asked. “That I kiss you?”

Lu Zhaoyi laughed: “My darling Xiaoxiao is so cute.”

“It only requires you to be Li Xiao,” he paused, then added, “But Xiaoxiao, if you want to kiss me, we’ll find a secluded spot later.”

Li Xiao’s cheeks flushed, but Lu Zhaoyi saw him nod.

Lu Zhaoyi knew he still wanted to kiss him.

…

After going out, they found a private spot. Lu Zhaoyi reminded him: “Xiaoxiao, we still have to go see your parents.”

Li Xiao nodded: “I know. I’ll restrain myself.”

After they separated, Lu Zhaoyi said, “Little liar.”

Li Xiao said, “I love you too much.”

“That’s a good excuse,” Lu Zhaoyi said with a smile. “But Xiaoxiao, with you looking so much like I bullied you, how am I supposed to explain this?”

“I was the one who initiated it,” Li Xiao said. “I’ll explain.”

Lu Zhaoyi: “You don’t have to. Xiaoxiao, kissing is a two-person matter. The fault isn’t solely yours.”

“I was the one who actively said I wanted to kiss you.”

Lu Zhaoyi was filled with emotion. Li Xiao never hid his desire for Lu Zhaoyi, and Lu Zhaoyi also enjoyed being intimate with him. If it weren’t for his concern for Li Xiao’s health, Lu Zhaoyi didn’t know how far he would go with him…

He pulled his wandering thoughts back and looked at Li Xiao: “Xiaoxiao, sometimes I wonder, what would have happened if I had met you earlier?”

Li Xiao said nonchalantly: “We’d have several children by now.”

Lu Zhaoyi immediately coughed: “Xiaoxiao, what kind of talk is that?”

Li Xiao blinked: “The truth.”

“The truth is really stimulating,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Turns out my concerns were right.”

Li Xiao leaned close to his ear and said: “But Young CEO Lu, we’re married now.”

Lu Zhaoyi said: “I know. We’ll talk about that later.”

Li Xiao leaned on his shoulder, murmuring, “I love you so much.”

Lu Zhaoyi knew he wasn’t sleepy; he just wanted to say it. Lu Zhaoyi smiled: “I love you very much too.”

“Good,” Li Xiao said. “Thank you.”

“So formal,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Do couples who have registered their marriage interact like this?”

“I don’t know,” Li Xiao said. “Other people don’t have a relationship as good as ours. We don’t compare ourselves to others.”

“Good,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “No one is as loving as us.”

…

The car stopped at the villa entrance, and Lu Zhaoyi and Li Xiao got out together.

The butler had been waiting for them for a long time: “Young Master, Young CEO Lu.”

Li Xiao: “Uncle Zheng, long time no see.”

“It’s been a long time since I came back,” Li Xiao said, a little embarrassed. “My husband and I will go in first.”

“Alright.”

Even though someone was there to take the gifts, Lu Zhaoyi and Li Xiao still carried things in their own hands.

Lu Zhaoyi’s expression remained mostly unchanged, but Li Xiao could clearly feel his hand gripping his very tightly. Li Xiao squeezed back, trying to help him relax.

“Xiaoxiao, Young Lu.” Yi Xinyun smiled.

Li Xiao was the first to hug her: “Mom, I miss you so much.”

“Stop lying to me,” Yi Xinyun said. “If you missed me, how could you not come back for so long?”

Li Xiao said: “Didn’t I come back now?”

“Yes,” Yi Xinyun said. “You came back to ask your dad and me for your marriage documents.”

Li Junning also spoke up at this moment: “You finally deigned to bring someone back to see us. I thought we weren’t presentable enough.”

This was obviously a joke. Lu Zhaoyi remained by Li Xiao’s side. After greeting them as “Uncle” and “Auntie,” he remained silent.

While Lu Zhaoyi waited, Li Xiao’s parents were also observing him. This was their first meeting, and neither side was sure how to handle the other.

Li Xiao was the only link between them.

“Young Lu, don’t just stand there,” Yi Xinyun said. “Hurry and come in with Xiaoxiao.”

Li Xiao said: “You didn’t let my husband in, so how could he move?”

“You’re already defending Young Lu?” Yi Xinyun said. “My son grew up and truly can’t be kept.”

“Mom,” Li Xiao said. “You clearly liked him before, so why are you refusing to admit it now?”

“Oh, dear.”

All four of them laughed, and the atmosphere eased immediately.

Li Xiao usually didn’t call Lu Zhaoyi “husband,” but now that they were home, he called him “my husband” constantly, which made Lu Zhaoyi a little shy, while Li Xiao was clearly enjoying himself.

Lu Zhaoyi knew this was Li Xiao’s way of making a statement in front of his parents.

Although technically, with Lu Zhaoyi having Yuehe, the two families were considered equals in status, Li Xiao was, after all, raised as the apple of the Li family’s eye.

He could be worthy of Lu Zhaoyi, or anyone. If Lu Zhaoyi could become the most suitable candidate, his biggest advantage was undoubtedly this: Li Xiao loved him very much.

Li Xiao was well aware of this and continuously let his parents know how deeply he felt for Lu Zhaoyi.

Lu Zhaoyi had always known Li Xiao was gentle and sensitive, and he felt it even more deeply now. Li Xiao gave him face in front of his friends and ensured he wouldn’t face any awkwardness in front of his parents.

Li Xiao gave his all in the matter of loving him.

Even though Yi Xinyun and Li Junning weren’t making things difficult for Lu Zhaoyi, they still maintained a skeptical attitude regarding the speed of their marriage.

Although they didn’t say it outright, Lu Zhaoyi knew they were completely uneasy. This was a reasonable concern for anyone, and Lu Zhaoyi understood.

“Dad, Mom, why are you two being so hesitant?” Li Xiao said. “It’s just my husband and me here. Is there anything that can’t be said?”

Li Xiao’s frankness forced the conversation into the open, making the other three seem less transparent.

Lu Zhaoyi said, “They are just worried about us.”

Yi Xinyun eventually chose to speak: “Xiaoxiao, when exactly did you two start dating?”
