After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 45
Chapter 45
“Mom,” Li Xiao said, “You already asked me before. Why are you asking us again now? It’s embarrassing.”
With Li Xiao saying this, it meant he refused to answer. Yi Xinyun understood her son and naturally didn’t press the issue.
At this time, Li Junning spoke: “Xiaoxiao, Young Lu, did you two attend Zhou Jiarun’s birthday banquet?”
“Yes,” Li Xiao asked him, “What about it?”
“Did Young Lu make the decision because of that?”
After Li Junning asked, Li Xiao and Lu Zhaoyi exchanged glances.
“I think it’s good,” Li Junning said. “It’s a rare thing that you two are certain about each other. Once you’ve made the decision to spend your lives together, doing it sooner or later doesn’t make much difference.”
“Thank you, Dad,” Li Xiao smiled. “Mom always worried about us, which made me a little nervous.”
Lu Zhaoyi was indeed not very good at dealing with elders. Li Xiao took all the questions and doubts onto himself, ensuring Lu Zhaoyi wouldn’t be put in a difficult position.
Yi Xinyun smiled: “Xiaoxiao, let’s eat.”
All four of them smiled.
…
After the meal, they discussed the engagement banquet.
Li Xiao said: “After the date is set, my husband and I will take our time choosing the specific location.”
“Good,” Yi Xinyun said. “As long as you two are happy.”
In the end, Lu Zhaoyi adapted and began using the same affectionate title as Li Xiao.
Lu Zhaoyi wasn’t used to saying it at first, but after trying, he found it wasn’t too difficult. Li Xiao’s parents were typical of good parenting, and their attitude towards Lu Zhaoyi was impeccable.
Lu Zhaoyi was never one to suffer from stage fright, and now he was able to blend in even better.
Because Li Xiao had been putting in effort in front of his parents, Lu Zhaoyi naturally didn’t want to let him down. He liked Li Xiao, and he wanted to be accepted by his family.
Li Xiao saw this and was deeply touched.
After chatting, Li Xiao led him to his room and hugged Lu Zhaoyi: “Thank you.”
Lu Zhaoyi smiled and said to him: “Xiaoxiao, you clearly did more. Why are you the one who is touched by me?”
Li Xiao mumbled: “I was the one who liked you first, after all.”
“Alright,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “But now I like you very much too. We are the same.”
Li Xiao said: “Let’s go back to Xizhou tonight. We won’t bother them here.”
“You don’t mean that,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, you’re clearly worried that I’m uncomfortable here.”
Li Xiao said: “We’ll take it slow. We have a long time to adjust. You’ll get used to it.”
“My darling Xiaoxiao is the most considerate,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I love it.”
Li Xiao pressed him down onto his bed: “Want to kiss, Hubby?”
To Lu Zhaoyi, this wasn’t a question; it was clearly Li Xiao seducing him.
Lu Zhaoyi cupped the back of his head and kissed him.
When they separated, Li Xiao naturally lay down in his arms: “I wanted to bring you back a long time ago.”
Lu Zhaoyi laughed: “Xiaoxiao, we haven’t even known each other for very long.”
“Mm,” Li Xiao said. “I feel regret about that.”
“But it still allowed us to meet,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “That is the greatest gift from the heavens.”
“Yes,” Li Xiao said. “I am lucky.”
“Lu also feels deeply honored,” Lu Zhaoyi told him seriously.
Li Xiao: “Was Zhou Jiarun a factor in your sudden decision to get the license with me?”
“Yes,” Lu Zhaoyi admitted frankly. “Xiaoxiao, I don’t know how the original plot is supposed to unfold, and I don’t know if Zhou Jiarun will affect us. I wanted our relationship to be known by everyone.”
Li Xiao hugged him: “I’m so touched.”
His tone was slightly playful, but Lu Zhaoyi knew that Li Xiao wasn’t lying about being touched.
…
Li Xiao’s room was large. Lu Zhaoyi said to him, “Xiaoxiao, you have everything here.”
Li Xiao smiled and asked, “CEO Lu’s room couldn’t possibly have less than mine.”
Lu Zhaoyi shook his head: “Forced learning. I used to read more books.”
“Then I must be unlearned and unskilled,” Li Xiao said with a smile.
Lu Zhaoyi asked: “Xiaoxiao, if you are considered unlearned and unskilled, what am I?”
“A working man,” Li Xiao said. “You said it yourself.”
“True,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I truly shot myself in the foot with that one.”
“That can’t happen,” Li Xiao said. “It would hurt my heart.”
Lu Zhaoyi stood up and hugged him: “Xiaoxiao, thank you. You always have the ability to calm me down.”
Li Xiao smiled: “You always make me happy too. Why do you talk as if I’m the only one giving?”
Lu Zhaoyi shook his head: “I only bring you along for things I genuinely want to do myself.”
Li Xiao said: “You like to play, and I like you. The joy you could enjoy alone, you brought me along for. Of course, that makes me happy.”
Lu Zhaoyi felt that Li Xiao’s words weren’t quite right. Li Xiao naturally picked up on his confused look and said to him, “Lu Zhaoyi, you’ve done a lot. It’s okay if you don’t want to spell it out when you’re facing me. I can feel it. I know everything.”
As soon as he said this, Lu Zhaoyi felt his heart pounding faster.
Lu Zhaoyi knew from a young age that he carried the future of the company on his shoulders. He learned early on to maintain the CEO facade in front of others. It didn’t matter if he was misunderstood; there were some things he absolutely wouldn’t talk about.
But now, Li Xiao was telling him that even if he didn’t lay it out clearly, he knew. He felt all of Lu Zhaoyi’s efforts.
Lu Zhaoyi asked him jokingly, “Then, Xiaoxiao, do you know that I really like you?”
“A little bit,” Li Xiao said. “The word ‘really’ is debatable.”
Lu Zhaoyi smiled: “It looks like I need to put in more effort, or our Xiaoxiao won’t see my sincerity in liking him.”
Li Xiao said: “I’m teasing you. I know all of it.”
Lu Zhaoyi smiled and pointed to his cheek. Li Xiao understood and immediately placed a kiss there.
“So much understanding,” Lu Zhaoyi said happily. “Xiaoxiao.”
“Uh-huh,” Li Xiao said. “We are naturally in sync. CEO Lu can try other aspects too.”
Lu Zhaoyi was startled: “Xiaoxiao, this is your home.”
“Yes,” Li Xiao said. “I know.”
Lu Zhaoyi suddenly wondered if he was too innocent, or if he had misunderstood: “There’s nothing here, right?”
Li Xiao said: “Come with me for a moment.”
Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi walked over with him.
Since this was Li Xiao’s own large room, he was very familiar with where things were placed. Lu Zhaoyi followed him for quite a distance before seeing Li Xiao stop in front of a cabinet.
Li Xiao said: “You open it.”
Lu Zhaoyi nodded and opened the cabinet. Although he had a faint suspicion, Lu Zhaoyi was still shocked by a cabinet full of adult toys and accessories.
“This is too much,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, when did you prepare this?”
“The last time I came back,” Li Xiao said earnestly. “Lu Zhaoyi, we’ll always come back, and we’ll eventually use these.”
Lu Zhaoyi thought for a moment before nodding: “You have a point, but Xiaoxiao…”
“This is my invitation,” Li Xiao interrupted him. “Don’t you want me?”
When he asked this question, Lu Zhaoyi suddenly thought of the last time Li Xiao showed up at Yuehe wearing that outfit.
Li Xiao was persistent when it came to moving forward with intimacy; the one who was always hesitant was Lu Zhaoyi.
Lu Zhaoyi asked him: “Didn’t we agree to go back to Xizhou tonight?”
“Yes,” Li Xiao said. “I was just saying.”
…
The two went downstairs together. Li Xiao personally entered the kitchen. Among the four people in this house, Li Xiao was the only one who could cook.
Yi Xinyun and Li Junning saw them come down and asked, “Xiaoxiao, Young Lu, why did you come down?”
Li Xiao said: “Mom and Dad, we want to go make a couple of dishes together.”
Yi Xinyun and Li Junning exchanged glances, then said: “Go ahead.”
They naturally wouldn’t disturb Li Xiao and Lu Zhaoyi.
After entering the kitchen, Lu Zhaoyi asked Li Xiao: “Xiaoxiao, do you not usually spend much time in the kitchen?”
“Why do you ask that?” Li Xiao said. “Don’t you like what I make?”
Lu Zhaoyi laughed: “The shock in Mom and Dad’s eyes just now was enough to tell me that you probably don’t cook often.”
“Mm,” Li Xiao said. “I just know how to cook, but I don’t like to do it.”
“Is Xiaoxiao bringing me here to boost his score?” Lu Zhaoyi laughed. “So clever, Xiaoxiao.”
“It’s alright,” Li Xiao said. “The door is closed, so they can’t see inside. You don’t have to do anything.”
Li Xiao’s words were very blunt. Lu Zhaoyi also knew his limitations and didn’t dare say anything like I’ll help you. He helped Li Xiao put on the apron and tied a beautiful bow.
“What are you looking at?” Li Xiao asked him.
“You look good.”
Li Xiao smiled: “It’s not your first day knowing that.”
Lu Zhaoyi nodded: “I still want to look.”
“Since you say that, I admit I also want to look at you.”
Lu Zhaoyi no longer cared that they were there to cook and hugged Li Xiao, kissing him.
When they separated, there was a thin layer of tears in Li Xiao’s eyes, and his face was flushed: “Be serious.”
“Didn’t you remind me to be serious?” Lu Zhaoyi said innocently. “I can’t possibly ignore what my boyfriend says.”
“Was that what I meant?” Li Xiao said. “I just wanted you to relax.”
“I am relaxed when I kiss you,” Lu Zhaoyi smiled.
Li Xiao looked at his unconcealed smugness and said: “There are surveillance cameras in the kitchen.”
His tone was emotionless, making it sound real. A hint of panic appeared on Lu Zhaoyi’s face. He looked at Li Xiao, his eyes clearly saying, “Why didn’t you say that sooner?”
“I’m tricking you,” Li Xiao said with a smile. “When we get home, how about I serve you? It’ll be my apology.”
