After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Lu Zhaoyi paused, then said to him: “Xiaoxiao, didn’t we agree to come here to cook?”

Li Xiao “Mm-ed.” He didn’t continue speaking, and Lu Zhaoyi also pulled his scattered thoughts back. If this continued, the dishes probably wouldn’t get made.

It was Li Xiao, after all; he recovered his composure quickly. As Lu Zhaoyi watched him prepare the food, he felt Li Xiao’s meticulousness even more.

Food only needs fire to go from raw to cooked, but Lu Zhaoyi was completely unable to manage it, while Li Xiao could do it perfectly.

Lu Zhaoyi intended to help Li Xiao with something, but he truly couldn’t be of any assistance. Li Xiao naturally knew his skill level, so Lu Zhaoyi not causing him trouble was already a major victory.

Lu Zhaoyi didn’t actually cause trouble with the cooking, but he would occasionally touch him or steal a kiss, which was also a form of distraction.

Li Xiao initially resisted and dodged, but later, he simply accepted it. Lu Zhaoyi would kiss him sometimes and wrap his arms around his waist at others.

By the time the two dishes were completed, the smile on Lu Zhaoyi’s face was very obvious. Li Xiao glared at him. Lu Zhaoyi looked at him and smiled, “Wife.”

Li Xiao truly had no way to deal with him: “Let’s go out first.”

Lu Zhaoyi very consciously carried both dishes out. When the two emerged together, their expressions were normal, as if nothing had happened moments before.

Li Junning and Yi Xinyun saw their state and knew that they hadn’t just been cooking in the kitchen, but neither of them brought it up.

“It’s rare for Xiaoxiao to cook for us,” Yi Xinyun said. “The fact that he’s willing to cook is probably for Young Lu’s sake.”

Lu Zhaoyi immediately didn’t know what to say. Li Junning chimed in: “A married son is indeed different. He didn’t have much love for me, his father, before, and now he probably has even less.”

“What is Dad talking about?” Li Xiao said. “It’s just cooking. Why bring up all these irrelevant things?”

Li Junning said, “You’re hiding it now, Xiaoxiao.”

“Yes,” Li Xiao said. “This is my favoritism, and it has nothing to do with my husband.”

Lu Zhaoyi knew he shouldn’t laugh, but he truly couldn’t stop the corner of his mouth from turning up.

Li Xiao was simply too good. In every situation they encountered, especially those that weren’t easy to smooth over, Li Xiao took on the burden all by himself.

However, regarding Li Xiao cooking personally, Li Junning and Yi Xinyun were actually just joking.

It was true that Li Xiao didn’t cook often, but it wasn’t impossible if he wanted to. Furthermore, Li Xiao and Lu Zhaoyi were both very young and had just registered their marriage, so it was normal for them to be inseparable.

It would be possible to find fault with other things, but money could solve their problems, so cooking personally was just a private moment of intimacy between the two of them.

Li Xiao only made two dishes, but the housekeepers had prepared a lavish spread on the table.

Undoubtedly, the two dishes Li Xiao made were the most popular. The four people gathered together because they all loved Li Xiao. Li Xiao cooked well and was the darling of everyone’s hearts, so no one would disrespect him.

Even so, during this dinner, both Li Xiao and Lu Zhaoyi appeared a little distracted.

As for the specific reason, it would be hard to pinpoint immediately, but it was definitely related to what happened in the kitchen just now.

Li Junning and Yi Xinyun exchanged a look, then said to them: “If you feel bored, just go back early. Just come over when you’re free.”

Although their words were polite, Li Junning and Yi Xinyun understood their intentions.

The most important goal of this visit was twofold: first, for Lu Zhaoyi to meet them, and second, to finalize the date for the engagement banquet.

Neither Lu Zhaoyi nor Li Xiao were casual people, and such a big matter required careful consideration.

Even with the ring on his hand, symbolizing he was taken, people were still pursuing Lu Zhaoyi. That’s why he registered their marriage, showed off their love, and intentionally leaked news to the paparazzi—all to ensure everyone knew about his relationship with Li Xiao.

Their social circle was hard for outsiders to penetrate, but the people inside were essentially the same group. Showing their faces to everyone would make the nature of their relationship clear to all.

It was only the engagement banquet, yet Li Junning and Yi Xinyun were very cautious, finally settling on a date after considering many proposals.

Li Xiao joked: “Mom and Dad, anyone who didn’t know would think you were signing a contract measured in billions.”

Yi Xinyun said to him: “Xiaoxiao, you are worth far more than that money.”

Lu Zhaoyi smiled: “Xiaoxiao is priceless, and I cherish him.”

Yi Xinyun looked at Lu Zhaoyi with an appreciative gaze, clearly very satisfied with him.

Lu Zhaoyi’s expression was warm. He called out, “Mom.”

Yi Xinyun smiled: “I’ll be relieved if you two are happy. Remember to make those people in the circle who said you were a business marriage suffer when the time comes.”

Li Junning also spoke up at this time: “Young Lu, you and our Xiaoxiao must be happy together.”

“Rest assured, Mom and Dad,” Lu Zhaoyi said seriously.

“Whether you’re relieved or not, we already have the certificate,” Li Xiao said with a laugh.

Everyone laughed.

After the specific date was set, the couple didn’t stay long. Li Xiao seemed even more eager to leave than Lu Zhaoyi.

After this visit, Yi Xinyun and Li Junning had a good initial impression of Lu Zhaoyi. Coupled with Li Yuan’s positive impression of Lu Zhaoyi, they had no complaints about the marriage between Li Xiao and Lu Zhaoyi.

…

After getting into the car, Lu Zhaoyi asked him: “Xiaoxiao, why are you in such a hurry?”

“In a hurry to go back and serve you,” Li Xiao leaned close to his ear, his breath deliberately falling on Lu Zhaoyi’s neck.

Lu Zhaoyi laughed: “Little fox.”

“Only seducing you,” Li Xiao said. “Would CEO Lu like some grapes?”

Images suddenly popped up in Lu Zhaoyi’s mind. He said: “It’s dark now. It seems appropriate to talk about these things.”

“Didn’t we come back so early just to do them?” Li Xiao’s words were very subtle, but Lu Zhaoyi understood.

He met Li Xiao’s gaze, then looked at Li Xiao and said seriously, “Okay.”

Li Xiao seemed a little disbelieving. He blinked: “Okay?”

“Mm,” Lu Zhaoyi replied and then fell silent. He looked like he was thinking seriously about something, but his eyes also seemed slightly vacant.

The moment they entered the house, Li Xiao immediately asked for a kiss. With Li Xiao being so passionate, Lu Zhaoyi naturally responded with equal fervor.

After the kiss ended, both of their breathing became heavy. Li Xiao asked, “Shall we shower?”

“Together?” Lu Zhaoyi asked.

“Yes,” Li Xiao said. “I’ll go get the things.”

Lu Zhaoyi was startled: “Get what? Are we playing so big right away, Xiaoxiao?”

Li Xiao hadn’t been embarrassed when he brought it up before, but Lu Zhaoyi asking about it made him a little awkward.

Li Xiao reacted instantly, quickly shaking his head: “Lu Zhaoyi, let’s shower separately. I’ll do the preparation work.”

Lu Zhaoyi hadn’t fully processed it yet, and Li Xiao had already quickly run into the room. Lu Zhaoyi had no choice but to drop the subject.

He sat on the sofa, thinking about many things, but the conclusion of all these thoughts was centered around Li Xiao.

—He was his beloved, the person he would always like, the person he would spend his life with.

Li Xiao was always insecure. Lu Zhaoyi naturally knew that this was solely because he hadn’t given him enough sense of security.

He was always aware of the plot of The Billionaire’s Spoiled Wife Running Away with a Ball, and he knew that Li Xiao’s personality meant that if they had anything unsaid between them, Li Xiao wouldn’t blame him, but he would definitely blame himself.

This matter could be big or small. On a large scale, it meant he wasn’t a good lover; on a smaller scale, it meant he wasn’t good at handling interpersonal relationships.

If he became reckless, relying on Li Xiao’s affection, he would be no different from the “scumbag top,” and Lu Zhaoyi wouldn’t allow himself to be that way.

Another very important reason was that he genuinely liked Li Xiao.

Lu Zhaoyi could say sweet things, but the compliments he spoke with too many embellishments always sounded less intense. Li Xiao, however, expressed his love directly and honestly.

Although he was only one year older than Li Xiao, Lu Zhaoyi felt that Li Xiao’s courage and directness far surpassed his own.

And the biggest benefit right now was that Li Xiao was his boyfriend.

Lu Zhaoyi hadn’t read much, but he wasn’t completely clueless. He knew that the first time wouldn’t be easy. When Li Xiao said he was preparing, he wasn’t just preparing items; he also needed to prepare mentally.

Lu Zhaoyi knew Li Xiao definitely didn’t want their first time to have any regrets.

Li Xiao had invested too much in this relationship; Lu Zhaoyi had always known this. He wanted Li Xiao to know that he loved him very much too.

Lu Zhaoyi cast his thoughts aside and entered the bathroom.

He went in to shower much later than Li Xiao, but Li Xiao still hadn’t come out when he emerged.

Lu Zhaoyi felt an uncharacteristic anxiety welling up. He walked to the bathroom door and knocked.

At this moment, Li Xiao opened the door. He was wearing only a bath towel that wasn’t even properly fastened at the waist.

The moment he saw Lu Zhaoyi, Li Xiao immediately reached out and hugged him. Li Xiao hugged him tightly: “Hubby.”

Lu Zhaoyi said: “I’ll carry you in.”

Li Xiao didn’t refuse this time. He rested his head on Lu Zhaoyi’s shoulder and nodded.

Lu Zhaoyi looked at him and read the same desire in his eyes that he felt in his own.

Li Xiao, having only embraced him before coming out, was not satisfied. Now that Lu Zhaoyi carried him to the bed, he hooked his arms around Lu Zhaoyi’s neck.

Lu Zhaoyi naturally leaned over and pressed down. He first placed a kiss on Li Xiao’s forehead, then followed it by kissing the beauty mark near his eye.

Li Xiao’s eyelashes were very long. Even with his eyes closed, it was clear that he was truly a beautiful person.

Lu Zhaoyi’s kiss was tender, but it was clear that he truly liked Li Xiao.

After the kiss, Lu Zhaoyi heard Li Xiao say to him: “Don’t hold back anymore.”
